Making miracles happen

By Abigail Barefoot Daily Correspondent Suzie Moorman is known as a miracle child by her family. When she left the hospital after her birth, she left with hospice. Her family was told she wouldn’t live much longer.

Suzie was born with severe hydrocephalus — the build up of fluid in the skull — and a rare brain disorder called alobar holoprosencephaly, in which the brain does not form properly.

The doctors gave her a few weeks to live and said that if her family was lucky, Suzie would make it to her third birthday.

Not satisfied, the Moorman family got a second opinion at the Iowa Children’s Hospital. While there, the doctors gave her a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to help drain the fluid out of her head.

Still, her family was told that her chances of living were very low. They were also told that if she did make it she would never walk or talk, and that she

Now at 5 years old, Suzie Moorman is very much alive.

It is stories like Suzie’s that brought hundreds of students together in the Memorial Union on Saturday for ISU’s Dance Marathon to help raise money for the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital — the hospital that helped saved Suzie’s life.

This year, the event raised more than $181,000 and

had more than 800 dancers supporting the Children’s Miracle Network and University of Iowa’s Children’s Hospital.

“I think the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital is so awesome because I just feel like I have hope,” said Heather Moorman, Suzie’s mom. “The doctors may not always have the right answers, but they are willing to try to get them.”

Suzie is making progress. She can walk with the assistance of a walker and is learning to communicate with her friends and family. She continues to go to the University of Iowa’s Children Hospital frequently and sees many doctors while she is there.

Times are still hard for the family.

“Life with Suzie is definitely unpredictable,” Heather said.

This point was made clear at Dance Marathon two years ago.

After talking with the dancers and volunteers about Suzie and her experience, Suzie had her first seizure. With the help of her family and the Iowa

Children’s Hospital, she made it through to go to Dance Marathon the following year.

“I might wake up in Ames and end up going to bed in Iowa City,” Heather said.

For the past four years, the Moorman family has attended Dance Marathon. They celebrate Suzie’s progress so far and the fundraising done for families like theirs.

Suzie’s older sisters, Sarah and Samantha, also love Dance Marathon. All three of the Moorman girls love the dancing part the most, especially the morale dance that everyone does together at the top of every hour throughout the night.

“My girls feel like its Christmas time,” Heather said, smiling. “It’s not only a way to celebrate Suzie’s life, it’s also a fun day for my other children to come and make up from all the time I’ve been away from home.”

While the Moorman family doesn’t know what the future holds for Suzie, it continues to push forward to keep its hope alive.

Every morning, Peter Englin, director of the Department of Residence, sits down at his desk, logs onto his computer and pulls up the ISU home page using a hardwire connection. Although his headquarters in Friley Hall does not yet have wireless access, the DOR is set on ensuring that every residence hall on campus has a wireless connection by the summer of 2010.

Englin said land lines cost the university $700,000 annually. By converting to wireless, the DOR will save $140,000 a year.

The project spans from fall 2008 to July 2010, and so far about half of the buildings have already switched over. Eaton, Martin, Buchanan, Maple, Willow, Larch and Helser transitioned

By Ayesha Massaquoi Daily Staff Writer With 5,552 residents occupying the 19 campus residence halls this semester, some wearand-tear on the buildings is expected.

Although the Department of Residence allocates $1.7 million annually for maintenance

and repairs, the vast majority is usually spent on age-related concerns such as leaky faucets, peeling paint and windows that are broken accidentally.

Recently, however, another issue that is not as highly anticipated has surfaced: vandalism.

“The vast majority of students are great citizens, but on occasion, we experience vandalism,” said Pete Englin, director of the DOR. “We view it as an ever-present dynamic. For instance, if we’re playing Iowa at home, or during Veishea or during long weekends, or even po-

Hugo Kenemer, co-owner of Heroic Ink, 409 Douglas Ave., joined the Marines at the age of 17, not realizing he would find his future career.

“I got my first tattoo in the Marine Corps,” Kenemer said, “and then I would draw tattoos for other guys.”

When he was finished with the Marines, Kenemer would hang out at different tattoo shops and watch his friends work. He and his co-owner, Scott Mumper, are completely self-taught tattoo artists.

Kenemer and Mumper opened Heroic Ink, a tattoo and piercing parlor, one month ago. Kenemer was part-owner of The Asylum, a tattoo shop in Campustown, before he decided he wanted to start his own business.

“I wanted to get out of Campustown and do more custom work in a more relaxed environment,” Kenemer said.

Emily Veach, piercing specialist and tattoo apprentice at Heroic Ink, agreed that the atmosphere of downtown Ames is more relaxed than Campustown.

“Here [tattooing] is treated more as an art than a service,” said Veach, a former ISU design student.

“We can sit down and take our time and do our

artist in Ames.

Running his own business has proven to be “kind of a hassle,” Kenemer said. “Now I have to worry about the bills and the reputation of our shop and advertising and all that stuff.”

However, doing things his way has paid off.

Kenemer, Mumper and Veach, who all worked at The Asylum previously, brought with them their regular customers.

Also, people who were traveling to Des Moines for their tattoo work because they didn’t want to go to Campustown are now bringing their business to Heroic Ink, Kenemer said.

They also get “bigger” work — as in sleeves, full backs and legs — at their new shop.

“People trust us more to do that kind of work,” Kenemer said.

Veach added that Heroic Ink has the largest selection of body jewelry in Ames; their collection includes several precious stones.

The Heroic Ink staff consists of just Kenemer, Mumper and Veach.

They typically see around four clients per day, but according to Kenemer, that number keeps rising.

“Every week is busier,” Kenemer said.

Veach said walk-ins are more than welcome, but an appointment will guarantee you all the time you need with one of the artists.

Heroic Ink is open Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays 11 a.m.–7 p.m., Wednesdays 11 a.m.–5 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays 11 a.m.–10 p.m.

Tony Dugan can still recall the joy of watching his first DVD a decade ago.

A self-described “child of the ’80s,” Dugan is the store manager of Family Video, 3407 Lincoln Way, and spends his days making room on the shelves for Blu-ray discs — the next generation of movie-watching technology. Family Video began slowly introducing Blu-rays to central Iowa stores about a year ago, Dugan said.

“I’d say we definitely walk before we run,” he said.

Because of the demographic and the large number of students who own a Sony PlayStation 3, which supports the Blu-ray format, the Ames location received more Blurays over the past year as the discs continued to rise in popularity.

“For ‘The Hangover,’ we had 120 copies on DVD and seven on Bluray,” Dugan said, adding that all were checked out within 24 hours.

Family Video rents DVD new releases at $2.59 per night with Blurays priced at $3.85.

At Family Video, the ratio of Blurays rented to DVDs remains proportional. If it has 50 copies of a new title on DVD and five on Blu-ray, and 10 or 20 titles were checked out on DVD, one could expect one or two Blu-rays to go out as well.

This ratio is expected to change, though, once Blu-ray players begin to penetrate the market.

During the 2009 Christmas shopping season, Blu-ray stand-alone players began to dip below $80, and the cost of 42” 1080p high-definition televisions could be found near $500 to $600 per set.

The NPD Group’s market research analysts found Blu-ray play-

ers jumping 53 percent in total sales on Black Friday 2009 compared to the same day a year prior.

Sony dropped the price of its PlayStation 3 to below $300. That price drop helped allow Mike Holowinski, junior in pre-business, purchase his first PS3 in early January.

“The quality of picture is way better ... there’s a lot more special features DVDs don’t offer,” Holowinski said of watching the first Blu-ray movie he bought, “The Hangover.”

Holowinski describes himself as the type of person who waits until new technology becomes more affordable, though he’s around it all the time working in the electronics section of Target, 320 S. Duff Ave. So far, the selection of movies available hasn’t been an issue to him either buying or renting, as he admits to renting movies around three times a week.

“All the new movies come out on Blu-ray, too,” his girlfriend Katie Andrew, junior in communication studies, points out.

Andrew wasn’t as quickly sold on the picture, but admits it didn’t take her long to notice an improvement.

“After about two or three minutes I could see some difference,” Andrew said. “I noticed highlights in the distressed bride’s hair that I hadn’t seen before, and every scrape and piece of dirt was more noticeable on Phil during his infamous phone call to Tracy.”

The video rental kiosk company, Redbox, rented a record two million DVDs on New Year’s Eve. With 19,000 locations and growing, Redbox surpassed 350 million rentals in 2009 nationwide, despite difficulties getting studios to embrace the kiosks.

“Redbox is currently testing Bluray at select locations in a limited number of markets,” said Christo-

Family Video has been steadily increasing its stock of Blu-ray discs with each new release. Tony Dugan, store manager of Family Video, 3407 Lincoln Way, said Blu-ray copies of action-oriented movies are more popular than other genres. Photo: Logan Gaedke/Iowa State Daily

pher Goodrich, a public relations representative for Redbox.

Blu-ray rentals at Redbox remain at the same price as regular DVDs. “The price is $1 per night, but as with all tests, this could change,” Goodrich added.

Dugan reports few complaints about the current selection of Bluray titles at Family Video and said if anything it’s customers requesting older titles that may or may not be available yet.

But Dugan doesn’t see regulars DVDs being pushed out as fast as

VHS vacated when DVDs appeared, attributing that to the backward compatibility Blu-ray players offer.

“DVDs still look a lot better,” Dugan explains. “And from what I’ve read, the industry doesn’t foresee DVDs leaving so quickly either.”

“It’s going to take a while to go back and remaster older films,” Holowinski says of the selection of Blurays while adding that it would only “get better.”

But despite the admiration Dugan holds for Blu-rays, he still says, “Nothing beats a movie theater.”

Dean proposes adaptation Republican senator received of corporate business plan with movie idol like jubilation into ISU’s academic setting

By Andrew Miga and Laurie Kellman Associated Press Writers

By Heidi Ebert Daily Staff Writer

Kurtenbach has held a variety of positions in corporate, academic and political backgrounds.

He served in the Iowa House of Representatives from Nov. 2002 to Dec. 2006. He is currently a professor of accounting in ISU’s College of Business and is continuing to teach two classes while starting his first term as associate dean.

“I look forward to working with Jim, and to the experience and insight that he will bring to the engineering college,” Wickert said. “I also welcome this synergy with the College of Business.”

Kurtenbach has no formal education in engineering, but has experience working on the corporate side. Growing up in Waterloo, he had close contact with John Deere engineers. He also became acquainted with the general and corporate aviation industry through his family business.

After graduating with an undergraduate degree in industrial administration from Iowa State, he was hired in the aviation industry. Later, he owned a construction company specializing in civil engineering projects.

Kurtenbach received his master’s degree from the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Okla., and his doctorate in business from the University of Missouri in Columbia, Mo.

The College of Engineering’s new Associate Dean for Administration James Kurtenbach began his term Jan. 11.

“My expectations have been fulfilled,” Kurtenbach said. “The College of Engineering has a phenomenal leadership group. Dean [Jonathan] Wickert has been here since July 1 and he has a great team of other associate deans and staff.

We have world-class faculty members who are extremely excited about their research and their teaching ... And the students have been fantastic.”

Kurtenbach plans to bring a corporate business perspective to an academia setting. One of the goals for the College of Engineering is higher efficiency to provide better services to students.

“The university is not here to make a profit.

We’re here to serve the people,” Kurtenbach said.

“So how can we provide our services more costeffective and keep the tuition lower for [students]?

How can we be more efficient in our delivery?

How can we serve more people on a regular basis?

And how can we have continuous improvement in the process?”

WASHINGTON — The Republican state senator who shook the political landscape from Massachusetts to California this week descended on Capitol Hill to a celebrity’s welcome Thursday as he to introduced himself to a Congress he says has lost its way.

Sen.-elect Scott Brown acknowledged that winning the seat held since 1962 by the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in Tuesday’s special election upset presented unique challenges.

“I’m stepping into shoes that are very, very big,” Brown said during a meeting in Kennedy’s former offices.

Brown made other gestures of humility and substance during visits with Senate veterans and leaders.

“This is the best place in the world when it comes to

solving problems,” Brown said, “but we’ve sort of lost our way.”

Washington greeted the Cosmopolitan centerfold, followed through the complex by a camera-clicking mob, more like movie idol Brad Pitt — who created a major fuss at the Capitol in March — than Jimmy Stewart’s Mr. Smith who went to Washington.

Brown said he was overwhelmed. Inciting a particularly dense swarm after one meeting, he expressed hope “no one trips” in the frenzy.

Welcoming Brown first was Sen. John McCain, the GOP presidential nominee in 2008 whose independent streak has often riled other Republicans.

Brown, who campaigned emphasizing his independence from either party, recalled that McCain was one of the first people “in this very office, to look me in the eye and say, ‘Well, you’re a longshot, but I’m with you.’”

Brown’s victory shook

President Barack Obama’s Democratic Party to its core, breaking its 60-vote Senate majority, jeopardizing health care reform and sending a shudder through even the most well-funded Democratic incumbents up for re-election in November.

“Every state is now in play,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., a campaign chairwoman and one of the Senate’s most prolific fundraisers who was suddenly, since Tuesday, considered by some a little more vulnerable for re-election next fall.

As the senator-elect behind all the uncertainty got the feel of his new workplace, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made official more difficult news for Democrats: The Senatepassed health care overhaul did not have support from the 218 House members it needed to become law.

Families seek to adopt orphaned children of Haiti

By Lisa Orkin Emmanuel, Associated Press Writer MIAMI — Tammy Gage cries every time she turns on the TV and sees the devastation in Haiti. And though she already has three daughters, she didn’t hesitate when her husband suggested that they adopt from Haiti.

“That’s all he needed to say,” she said.

Gage and her husband Brad are among many Americans expressing interest in adopting children who have been left orphans from the quake last week.

Adoption advocacy groups are reporting dozens of calls a day.

“The agencies are being flooded with phone calls and e-mails,” said Tom Difilipo, president and CEO of the advocacy group Joint Council on International Children’s Services.

“The response is ‘Can we help

with these children by adopting them?’”

The need is vast. Even before last Tuesday’s deadly magnitude-7.0 earthquake, Haiti, one of the world’s poorest countries, had 380,000 orphans, according to UNICEF. There is no counting children newly orphaned by the quake, but aid groups estimate the number in tens of thousands.

“Everybody here and in the world wants to do something. I think it’s a way that people are opening up their heads and their hearts,” said Mary Ross Agosta, spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Miami, which has offered temporary housing for children until they are either placed with extended family, put in foster care or adopted.

This week, 54 orphans arrived in Pittsburgh after a mission that involved officials in the White House, the State De-

National Council for Adoption.

Her advocacy group has gotten an offer from Puerto Rico to serve as a resting place for children until they are adopted.

State Department spokesman Darby Holladay said the orphans are one of the highest priorities for the U.S. government.

“We are looking at each and every orphan case individually and we are working around the clock with officials of both Homeland Security and the Haitian government to find solutions,” he said.

He said the U.S. Embassy in Haiti has processed immigrant visas for 46 orphan children whose cases were ready for processing. In addition, there have been 100 humanitarian waivers for orphans.

The Department of Homeland Security has also set up an e-mail on Haitian adoptions, haitianadoptions(at)dhs.gov, where people can get queries answered about ongoing adoptions. Bentley also said there will be a task force to help Haitian children come into the U.S. for adoption.

Gage, 38, of Stanberry, Mo., said her oldest daughter texted her the phone number of the National Council for Adoption while on the school bus. The

family knows that adoption can take a long time, but plans to stick it out.

“Of course the sooner, the better, but I know kind of the process,” she said.

Gage and her husband Brad had discussed adopting before, but she was moved by the devastation in Haiti. “Really, I wanted to get on the next flight out and help these people,” she said.

UNICEF will now work to find children who are alone and determine whether they are orphans or have become separated from family, New York-based spokesman Patrick McCormick said.

If they have relatives, the agency will work to reunite them. Alternative and longterm choices such as international adoption would be options only after that.

All this requires detective work, but it should be done within two months, he said.

Sheila Noel, 36, of Miami, who is from Haiti, said that she called an advocacy group inquiring how she could adopt her 13-year-old brother and 12-year-old sister, who are now being cared for by a friend. Noel said her mother and stepfather were killed in the quake and two more brothers remain missing.

broken and Friley stairwells were defaced with graffiti.

The department says that no leads on the culprits have been found yet, but that students are encouraged to come forward if they have any information.

“I think it’s really important for the residents to realize how much input and influence they have on their peers,” said Ebony Williams, hall director for Willow. “We’ve had minor problems, but nothing to this extent.”

Williams said that communication between every member of a residence hall community is vital. She wasn’t aware of the incidents until a resident informed a Willow community adviser that the elevator had been meddled with.

“We’re just going to continue to have conversations with our residents about the importance of the community,” Williams said.

The DOR is currently in the process of identifying various locations around and within the residence halls where security cameras will be placed.

“We want to have the best technology with attention to the human element,” Englin said. “When people have

a sense that they might be watched or recorded, they’re much less likely to engage in such behaviors.”

No cameras will be placed in private living areas, but they will be installed near first-floor and ground-floor entrances, near elevators, and in common areas, Englin said.

He maintained that while the cameras will not be watched live, they will be reviewed later in such instances.

“Residents need to take responsibility on their floors if they witness something and let their management know,” said Angela Stoss, senior in chemical engineering and Maple community adviser who was on duty when the vandalism was reported. “But I definitely think cameras would be helpful in some locations.”

Englin asserted that Iowa State is behind the curve when it comes to technological security in Big 12 institutions, but that the highest form of security comes from the residents themselves.

“We need to take care of each other,” Englin said. “I would ask students to be cautious of who they’re letting in and their guests’ behaviors. It keeps your rates down and, more importantly, it keeps everybody safe.”

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell found a pithy way to describe the place Brown holds in the clubby Senate even before being sworn in. He recalled that on the campaign trail, Brown sometimes signed autographs, “41” — the GOP’s 41st vote against the Democrats’ health care bill, the magic number required to kill it or anything else on Obama’s agenda in Congress.

“I will always think of him as 41,” McConnell said.

Despite the unpleasantness Brown presented them, Democrats greeted him politely.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the two had found at least one thing in common: They both have children who are college athletes.

But those closest to Kennedy were warmer. They included Kennedy’s son Patrick, a representative from Rhode Island, and Sen. John Kerry, the Democrat with whom Brown will steer legislation affecting Massachusetts.

“Scott very successfully managed to tap into an anger and impatience that’s very, very real. So it’s a good lesson,” Kerry said.

“I hope Republicans on the other side of the aisle will hear it as well.”

Later in Kennedy’s former office, Paul Kirk, the former Democratic Party chairman who was appointed interim senator after Kennedy’s death in August, said Brown had made it clear that he would be an independent voice.

in the spring and summer of 2009, while Wallace and Wilson were rewired in fall of 2009 — the wireless system should be activated in the next 30 days.

Barton, Lyon, Freeman, Oak and Elm are scheduled to be upgraded in the winter; while Birch, Welch, Roberts, Friley and Linden are set to be converted during the summer.

In older buildings, such as Roberts, wires will have to be pulled, but in most, construction will just be a matter of mounting conduits.

“We’re trying to make the transitions during summer or during semester breaks,” Englin said. “We ask maintenance to do ‘noisy work’ during break times.”

Although the department received moderate complaints

during construction in Helser, the vast majority of residents have proven to be cooperative and supportive of the process.

Removal of residential land lines, however, has been a minor concern.

“Part of my role is to try and provide the technologies that students and faculty need at the university,” said John Kingland, associate chief information officer for IT services. “It became clear that students are no longer interested in wired phones and are moving toward mobility.”

After several surveys, the DOR concluded that land line phones were not a major concern for students. The service is still available by subscription, for a $35 fee, but Englin said only 10 students have signed up thus far. Furthermore, land lines in buildings that have recently undergone changes will stay active until May. Nathan Miller, the IT Direc-

tor for the Barton-Lyon-Freeman Hall Council and sophomore in aerospace engineering, said the transition has gone over well in Lyon. Part of the building has already undergone the conversion. Residents that have already gained access don’t seem to miss the land lines and are using the wireless connections often.

“Personally, I feel like it’s an acceptable change,” Miller said.

“I feel like more students would benefit from wireless than from land lines.”

Although students may be benefitting from being able to connect laptops, PDAs, smartphones and iPhones to the server from virtually anywhere in the residence halls, safety is a factor. The DOR wants to reassure students that the loss of land line phones is not expected to pose any risk to safety on campus.

“We did this after talking

with students about usage patterns,” Englin said. “We’ve had numerous conversations with student leaders, ISU police ... and we’ve been assured that, more and more, the emergency calls they get are from cell phones.”

A survey conducted by the DOR in 2008 reported that 95 percent of students on campus had cell phones. For those students who do not have mobile phones, Englin asserted that land lines will be kept in community advisers’ rooms and on each floor.

For staff members drafting plans for the transition, the decision was unanimous.

“I was a part of the original discussions in envisioning this project,” Kingland said. “We saw this as an opportunity to transition from a technology that it was time to [let the] sun set on, to a technology that’s in demand for the future.”

Expand coverage of HelpVan aid to curb frustration This January in Iowa has been a mixed bag as far as weather is concerned. Some days, freezing rain coats the sidewalks with a layer of ice, making travel impossible if your ice-skating skills are not up to par. On those days, anyone who ventures onto the ice rink that is the ISU campus lacking the skills of a 2010 Winter Olympian deserves a red badge of courage. We value our education, but we also value our intact bones.

Sliding across campus just to take a long winter’s nap in a speech communication lecture just doesn’t seem worth the risk sometimes.

Other January days, we’re met with a heat wave of 33 degrees Fahrenheit. On these days, the ice that once struck fear in our hearts melts into puddles large and majestic enough to rival Lake LaVerne.

Navigating your way across these small bodies of water is best done by inflatable raft, a resource not usually at our disposal.

Instead, we are forced to wade through the puddles and endure sopping wet socks and shoes.

Not only does this ebb and flow of inclement weather take a toll on our motivation to brave the elements, this freezing and re-freezing is hard on our cars.

The convenience of having a car at school is often offset by the frustrations met with having a vehicle that won’t start.

Freezing temperatures transform our cars into tiny glaciers. In these cases, it’s better to resort to using CyRide.

But sometimes, taking the bus won’t cut it. What’s left to do, then, if your car is encased in ice and won’t start? Or it just up and dies while you’re out and about?

Luckily, we have campus services like the HelpVan to aid with immobile vehicles.

But only if you’re on campus when your car breaks down.

The HelpVan service promises to come to the rescue in the event of “dead batteries, flat tires and empty gas tanks,” according to the Department of Public Safety Web site. But for anyone who has ever owned a car, you know that if your car breaks down, it will always happens in the most inopportune location. And the likelihood of a broken-down car is elevated with the inconsistent weather.

Many students, especially those who live in the greek community, park their cars in areas that are designated as off-campus, although they may be closer than areas actually considered ISU property, such as the stadium or Towers. These students are left to fend for themselves.

If your car breaks down on Lincoln Way and University Boulevard, for example, you’re on your own. Even though you could probably throw a rock and hit an oncampus building. Members of the Editorial Board have experienced this frustration first-hand, and the Opinion section has printed numerous letters to the editor stating the same.

Therefore, we propose that the HelpVan extend its roadside assistance to what we have deemed “student service areas.” These include the greek community and roads on which students travel frequently, such as Lincoln Way, University Boulevard and Welch Avenue, for example.

Ames is not a sprawling metropolis.

Would extending the HelpVan roadside assistance service be that much of an issue?

This is a student service issue we’re talking about here, not a campus service issue. If DPS can start operating based on helping students as opposed to servicing zones of a city, maybe, in return, we can stop our whining.

Profiling proof

Using mathematics may shed new light on controversial issue

A

s you may have noticed, this column has some math in it a little later, and it’s likely the first time you’ve seen something like that in a newspaper. I’d like to ask that you not let this scare you if you happen to be someone who is inclined to run the other direction when you see lots of big equations. Though the mathematical model is the focus of this column, I will guide you through it and you should be able to get the general idea without having to reference your old math textbooks.

That being said, there is something in common with the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland, the Sept. 11 attacks, the attempted plane bombing by the shoe bomber Richard Reid and the recent Christmas Day attempt to blow up a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab that deserves to be addressed.

All of the culprits were Muslims.

This is not a coincidence. It is a direct result of the existence of terrorist organizations within the Islamic faith focused on harming the Great Satan, otherwise known as the United States of America.

Since all of the attacks on commercial aircraft in the past 20 years have been committed by Muslim men, logic would say that it would be wise to focus a greater percentage of passenger searches on Muslim men in order to catch these terrorists.

Note that this does not mean that being a Muslim makes you a terrorist or that being a terrorist makes you a Muslim. In the case of terrorist attacks on commercial aircraft, however, there is a correlation between the two.

Unfortunately, you cannot just look at someone and see whether or not they are a Muslim, but you can get a general idea of the part of the world from which they hail.

The majority of Muslims come from the same part of the world.

Since these are also the places in which the terrorist organizations have the most influence, the easiest, most effective recruiting is going to be done near there.

In the case of the Sept. 11 attacks, 15 attackers were from Saudi Arabia, one from Egypt, two from the United Arab Emirates, and one from Lebanon — all males. These men, as described by the FBI, tend to have dark — brown or black — hair and eyes and an olive complexion.

Since airports have a limited amount of resources — both in terms of security personnel and security equipment — it is necessary to make the most of those resources.

Rather than performing searches on random passengers, it would be wiser to perform searches on the people who are more likely to be terrorists.

Though airports do some of this, they are not allowed to use race or gender as a factor, as stated by U.S. Code 40127, which says, “An air carrier or foreign air carrier may not subject a person in air transportation to discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex or ancestry.”

Abdulmutallab, the would-be terrorist on Christmas Day, is Nigerian. His looks don’t fit the stereotypical terrorist example in the strictest sense.

This idea leads to one argument against racial profiling that I have often heard, which is that terrorist organizations will simply use people who don’t fit the profile to commit their terrorist acts if racial profiling is instigated.

Variables ■■

■■ ■■ ■■

■■ ■■

p — ratio of the fractions of unchecked non-target to target passengers r — ratio of non-target to target passengers t — ratio of target to nontarget terrorists c — ratio of the cost of non-target to target terrorists s — percentage of passengers searched q – chance that a searched terrorist will be caught.

This is easier said than done. A terrorist who does not fit the profile would be more difficult and costly to find and recruit — and more valuable to lose, known as opportunity cost — so the terrorist groups are predisposed to using those who fit the profile when possible. That’s why 19-of-19 of the Sept. 11 attackers fit the profile description.

It is easy enough to find out how much of an effect racial profiling would actually have on an airport’s ability to catch terrorists, even taking into account the fact that terrorist groups could use people who don’t fit the profile. You just have to set up a mathematical model to show it.

For this model, first assume that this is what is known as a Stackelberg game, where one player — the airport — first chooses the degree of profiling, defined as letting one group of people go unsearched more often than another; then the other player — the terrorist organization — chooses which type of terrorists to use.

Also assume that there are only two types of people: Those who fit the profile, known as targets, and those who don’t — known as non-targets. Both types have different costs to recruit and use as a terrorist, and the goal of the terrorist organization is to minimize the cost of a successful terrorist attack — defined by having a terrorist make it through the security check.

Assume that the terrorist organization will send the same number of total terrorists regardless of cost, but the proportion of target to non-target terrorists will change due to the degree of profiling. The goal of the airport is to catch the highest possible fraction of terrorists holding all factors except the degree of racial profiling constant.

Finally, assume that both players have all possible information about the other player, except for the airport, which does not know what target to non-target terrorist ratio will be chosen by the terrorist organization, being that it is dependent on the airport’s chosen degree of racial profiling.

Assuming that the variable cost of a terrorist increases linearly with the propor-

tion of terrorists of that type, the average cost of a successful terrorist attack is given

by Equation 1.

This means that the terrorist organization can minimize the cost of a terrorist attack by using Equation 2.

The fraction of terrorists caught by the search is given by Equation 3.

Since we know what the terrorists will choose to do, we can substitute t=c/p into Equation 3, giving Equation 4.

Therefore, we can maximize the number of terrorists caught while holding q, s, are r unchanged, which gives Equation 5.

While this is only a simple model and does not take every possible factor into account, it nonetheless shows that as the cost of non-target to target terrorists increases, so does the optimal amount of racial profiling.

The idea to take away from this model is not that there is some magic amount of racial profiling that is easy to calculate and should be used everywhere, but simply that because terrorist organizations are predisposed to using terrorists who fit a certain profile, there exists an amount of racial profiling that allows the most terrorists possible to be caught.

To put this into practice, however, we need to know what the cost ratio is.

Since the ratio of the number of target to non-target terrorists used since Sept. 11 is 20-to-1, we will assume for this example that the cost ratio is 20 (based on the fact that t=c/p).

That would mean that if 50 percent of passengers are of the target group, the optimal level of racial profiling (p) would be 4.5, meaning that 4.5 times as many non-targets as targets should go unsearched. If 10 percent of passengers are of the target group, the optimal level is 5.4. If only 1 percent are of the target group, then the optimal level is 5.6.

This is not to say that racial profiling should be the only line of defense or the only way we distinguish who is more likely to be a terrorist. This type of model can be used to distinguish between groups of people for any reason, such as whether you bought your ticket that day, which is a method of profiling that is currently being used.

As the numbers show, allowing airports to use racial profiling — politically correct or not — is still an efficient solution.

Obama’s promises realistic Horror film hell-bound Uninformed Americans created own false hopes Response to Iowa State Daily Editorial on Friday : During the course of President Barack Obama’s campaign, many interpreted that the effects of his presidency would include the end of partisanship and disagreement in favor of a move toward a benevolent government of and for the people. The problem with this conception is that Obama never actually promised an end to partisanship or disagreement. In fact, of the 503 promises he did make, none of them even mention or allude to an America devoid of partisanship.

Why? Because in order for a president to put an end to disagreement and thus, political discourse, he would either have to homogenize public opinion through propaganda or militarize the state until the public feared for their lives unless they agree with the governing party.

As far as I know, neither of these are on the agenda.

Many would use the media’s hyperbole as an attempt to see Obama’s presidency as a failure, but this effectively amounts to moving the goal posts. Certainly, his presidency has not been the utopian romp that some expected, but the withdrawal from Iraq, effort to reduce proliferation of nuclear weapons, development of infrastructure, prevention of an economic disaster, and overwhelming legislative success rate — 96.7 percent according to Congressional Quarterly — are not tempered by the fact he admittedly did not cure cancer in the process.

All told, voters did not expect a New America under Obama. They voted for him because he was charismatic, disagreed with the occupation of Iraq and made bold promises to respect and create social programs that had taken massive hits over the past decade.

Through promised transparency, he gave Americans hope that they could, for once, see where and why their country was headed in a certain direction.

He has fulfilled all these promises. Check www.politifact.com for the full record.

The one place disgruntled voters find much agreement is that Obama’s programs are compiling a national debt the likes of which has never been seen. This is fair; however, it is also important to understand that Americans’ opinions tend to blow with the wind of hereand-now media coverage, which shortsightedly ignores Congressional Budget Office and economists’ projections that the programs that currently deepen our debt will pay for themselves in the coming years and then begin to pay off the national debt if maintained.

Admittedly, Obama’s legislative measures — or at least, those that receive the

most media attention — have met with resistance in the chambers of Congress. This, however, requires further scrutiny.

If we are to compare the success of one president to another based on Congressional approval of proposed legislation, then George W. Bush’s record far exceeds that of Obama’s given the comparison of No Child Left Behind and the Patriot Act to the stimulus and health care reform. The flaw in this comparison, of course, is that it fails to put the measures into context.

After the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush rode a wave of faith that catapulted many of his initiatives into the forefront of popular political discourse.

The public approval of NCLB and the Patriot Act stemmed from widespread fear of the unnamed enemy to the point that even Democratic senators could not afford to vote against their constituent’s perceived fears. These programs turned out to be masked derailing of social programs and civil liberties, but more on that another day.

Obama, on the other hand, faces a political landscape deeply partisan and littered with the bruised careers of angry incumbent holdovers from the previous administration. The Republicans, having received a beating they are sure to avenge in the 2012 election, now know that, backed into a corner, their only fighting chance is obstructionism.

Filibusters, traditionally a procedural tool, are now being threatened much more frequently than usual as a standard defense against measures that they simply disagree with. They need not feel that Democratic legislation threaten the country in some grave way, they need only disagree with the intentions of the bill, regardless of the beliefs of their own constituents one way or the other.

It is easy to see that, in the face of this, it would be difficult to coerce the same overwhelming support made possible by mass fear in the face of ambiguity.

In short, the post-partisan America standard that some pundits had set for Obama was only a mirage to those who created it. It is certainly not a mirage to educated voters who never expected such a ridiculous transformation of government.

All this considered, acknowledging the “mirage” of post-partisanship in practice need not lead one to blame Obama himself while incumbent conservative holdovers from an era of economic, foreign policy and political disaster tie up progressive legislation through bullying and inciting public fear.

Therefore, forgive Obama for being a Democrat, apparently he never got the memo.

from beginning to end T here’s missing the mark, and then there’s shooting yourself in the foot.

“Legion” not only shot itself in the foot, but tempted the audience to do the same.

Now, don’t mistake this for my usual dissection of cinematic art. No, no, this is actually once of the worst films I have had the misfortune of seeing.

I realized this was going to be a B-grade horror/sci-fi flick from the previews — and I loves me some good ol’ B-grade horror — but this failed at maintaining the cheesiness needed to keep the entertainment going.

Paul Bettany plays the right hand of God, the angel Michael.

He has been given the task of killing an unborn child, thereby causing the eradication of the human race, whom God has apparently become fed up with.

The mother-to-be of this Christlike child is a single, young waitress at a middle-of-nowhere desert gas station/diner.

The patrons include a dysfunctional family of three with car trouble, the dinerowner, a mechanic in love with the mother-to-be, a cook with a hook for a hand and a random thug-ish black guy carrying a gun. With a cast like that, cheeseball dialogue and bad one-liners should abound as death cuts a swath across the film, right? Well, no, not really.

As the action kicks in and the granny demon who would be right at home in an “Evil Dead” movie rolls up to eat a raw steak and yell profanities at the group, the movie appeared as if it would be a homage to everything fans love about bad horror. The problems begin shortly after.

Bettany shows up quickly after and is prepared with duffle-bags of military-grade firearms. Right when massive action seems inevitable, the characters start talking.

Now, this talking isn’t witty

dialogue to accentuate action or coming action-styled antics.

Oh no. This is the dialogue that bad college film students write thinking they need to explain plot and develop meaningful characters — but somehow the dialogue neither creates interesting characters, nor explains the gigantic holes or descriptions needed for the plot to make a lick of sense.

This is the dialogue that should be cut and chopped and then inserted into scenes where something is happening other than talking. This is the sort of dialogue the pompous and talentless Hollywood wannabes believe adds a degree of depth to their horrible cinematic visions. And the worst part of all this chit chat is they keep doing it.

They keep doing it between action scenes. They keep doing it between the mild and dull suspense scenes. They keep doing it between the dialogue that is actually needed. I actually started counting the tiles on the ceiling of the cinema during two parts of the movie.

But let us look at the action and leave the word vomit behind. The previews showed a slew of angels diving in a God’sdecree-inspired, genocidefueled formation across a heavenly sky. This scene is in the movie, but for only a whole six seconds and with no other cool flights of angels to be found.

The preview shows some of the fight scene between God’s two most favored angels: Michael, the right hand of God, and Gabriel, the left hand. For anyone with a mind for fantasy and sci-fi who enjoys reading about biblical events outside of

Sunday school, the idea of this fight scene is simply tantalizing.

The idea is all there is, unfortunately, as the best bits are in the preview and the fight is pretty lame and short in the film.

The preview shows explosions and masses of angelpossessed humans — who for some reason appear demonic rather than angelic — and gunplay and close-ups portraying the fright of the characters in this wholly biblical event unfolding around them. The movie does not expand on any of these things. It instead utilizes the annoying aforementioned dialogue to drag the film along.

I prayed for “Legion” to jam in the projector, causing the print to catch fire and allow this nightmare to end.

Again, this prayer went unanswered. As “Legion” nears its end, I had a glimmer of hope as I realized how just one cool twist could turn around at least the hollow and pointless diatribe and make the finale amount to something. Then, once again, the movie shoots itself in the foot and doesn’t even get a cheeseball award.

It becomes lamer than I can understand and puts this film firmly into the category of Top 100 Worst Films of All Time.

I can’t even spoil the ending, because there wasn’t one.

This wasn’t some interesting, open-ended, leave-youwith-questions ending. No, this was just nothing. Nothing was explained, nothing was solved.

Like the rest of the film, the ending was just masturbation without any reward.

Watch the preview if you’re curious about the film “Legion,” but don’t bother watching it in the theater. Just stay at home and re-watch the final episode of “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.” Seriously, don’t even bother if it ends up on TV and you can watch it for free.

This whole movie has got to be God’s idea of a bad joke.

Women break personal bests, surprise many with placings

By Kasey Sutherland Daily Staff Writer The ISU women came away from this weekend’s ISU Open at Lied Recreation Athletic Center exactly where they wanted to be: healthy.

Caffrey After being injured most of the indoor track season last year, All-American Lisa Koll had a dominating performance in the 3,000-meter run.

Koll Her impressive efforts resulted in a NCAA provisional qualifying time of 9:16.23, just short of the 9:13 time that would give her an automatic qualifying bid for the NCAA championships.

“I’m kind of disappointed; a 9:16 is really all I need,” Koll said. “It really wasn’t about a personal record, it was more about being against competition this weekend.”

Freshman Betsy Saina finished the event with second place for the Cyclones.

Koll also participated in the women’s distance medley with teammates Erin Penticoff, Kaylee Small and Molly Lohry, a group that put together a record-breaking performance by setting a new ISU Open record with a time of 11:47.60.

Senior hurdler Jenna Caffrey also managed to earn a provisional NCAA qualifier by running an 8.40 in the 60-meter hurdles.

“It blew my mind,” said sprints and hurdles coach Nate Wiens. “It’s been in there all along; that’s the fastest time by far that she’s run indoor, and I don’t think you’ve seen the tip of the iceberg

Men’s team takes home four first-place finishes

By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer The ISU men’s track and field team looked to its middleand long-distance runners in securing four first-place finishes in this weekBor end’s ISU Open.

The men took home victories in the 600-yard run, 800-meter run, 3,000-meter run and the distance medley.

In perhaps the closWarner est finish of the entire weekend, ISU senior Guor Marial edged out sophomore Yonas Mebrahtu at the very end of the distance medley, winning by one hundredth of a second.

In the 600-yard run, junior Elphas Sang ran away with a victory, posting a 1:12.42, which was followed by junior Hillary Bor’s come-from-behind 1:53.41 win in the 800-meters.

In the final long-distance race Saturday, Cyclone runners finished first through fourth, led by senior Brandon Rooney’s 8:20.48 winning time.

“We had a pretty good weekend; we had a lot of wins and [personal records] and great things happened,” ISU head coach Corey Ihmels said.

Losing streak continues

By Chris Cuellar Daily Staff Writer A packed Hilton Coliseum and national television coverage could not stop the ISU Cyclones from dropping their 17th straight game to a ranked opponent, falling to the No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks 84–61 on Saturday.

The Jayhawks were led to victory with a balanced effort from forward Marcus Morris and First-Team All-Big 12 center Cole Aldrich. Morris added 16 points and seven rebounds — six of them offensive in just 19 minutes on the floor. The 6-foot-11-inch Aldrich dominated the paint with 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting and chalked up 11 boards. “[Aldrich] impacted the game in all three facets,” coach Greg McDermott said. “He’s always sound defensively, he’s just down there building a big wall — his improvement over the course of the last three years is very impressive.”

The Cyclone Alley student section was clad with special gold game T-shirts, but even with a color change and added intensity in the form of posters and irreverent chants, the action on the floor and 17 total turnovers plagued the Cyclones.

Marquis Gilstrap paced Iowa State with both points and rebounds, picking up 18 and 12 respectively. His effort included an emphatic second-half dunk over Aldrich’s outstretched arms.

“Marquis just keeps playing. You’ve interviewed him, he doesn’t talk much.

He just plays,” McDermott said of the senior. “I don’t question his ability to get in and mix it up. To start his Big 12 career with four double-doubles — there’s not many players who have done it in the history of this league.”

Iowa State was able to stay within 12 points of the Big 12-leading Jayhawks with 15 minutes remaining, but after an 8–0 run when the Cyclones were down 14 points, Kansas pulled away.

The game was a different affair for ISU forward Craig Brackins, who put together a 42-point, 14-rebound game against Kansas at Hilton Coliseum in 2009. He was held to 13 points on 5-of13 shooting Saturday.

“They came at [Brackins] very aggressively with the double team. Last year they doubled him on the block.

They didn’t double him at 15 feet,” McDermott said. “Today, they were getting it out of his hands. It’s frustrating, but that’s what Craig is going to have to learn to deal with.”

The loss stretches the Cyclones’

losing streak to nine games against Kansas, and also marks the second conference loss in as many games since guard Lucca Staiger left the team last Tuesday. Scoring 15 points under its 76-point season average, Iowa State’s offense was hampered by a stingy Jayhawk defense and a low 20-of-53 [37.7 percent] effort from the field.

“We aren’t going to use that as an excuse. We just have to be able to outwill it,” said guard Scott Christopherson after his second career start.

“We’re gonna fight forward. We didn’t string enough stops together, and we just didn’t take very good care of the ball in the first half.”

Only five players scored buckets from the field for the Cyclones —

Women’s Basketball

Texas defeated in close comeback

By Kayci Woodley Daily Staff Writer Even when the Longhorns came within reach of shutting out the Cyclone women’s basketball team in Austin on Saturday, Iowa State didn’t quit.

Down 14 points in the second half, the Cyclone players decided to let this game be “their game,” earning a 73–71 victory over Texas.

“We were on the verge of being blown out; we seriously thought it was a possibility,” said senior point guard Alison Lacey after the game. “I think everyone just looked around, and we were sick of being pushed around. We were sick of almost being in games, so I think everyone just decided together this is our game.”

Down 46–32 with 14 min-

utes left in the second half, the Cyclones began to chip away, and just four minutes later, it was a 10-point ballgame.

Coach Bill Fennelly said after the game that Iowa State showed what it was capable of against Texas. “You beat one of

the most respected programs in the country in their building, and you don’t do that unless you understand how

we have to do that,” Fennelly said to his players in the locker room. “It isn’t always pretty, it isn’t always smooth, but that’s how you win games.”

Iowa State found a way to take control of the game, whether it be an offensive rebound or a dagger from beyond the arc. With just one minute left, junior guard Kelsey Bolte hit a trey to tie the score at 63–63. “Any time you beat Texas it’s a great, great accomplishment and certainly here especially,” Fennelly said.

“We played hard, we played well. It certainly it helps to have two of the best guards on your team.”

In the final ISU possession of the game, the Cyclones were losing by three. Bolte

Wrestling

Cyclones bring in two victores over weekend

By Jake Calhoun Daily Staff Writer One day and 80 miles separated the ISU wrestling team’s 997th and 998th all-time dual victories as the Cyclones opened Big 12 Conference action by defeating Oklahoma 21–12 on Friday and Oklahoma State 20–18 on Sunday.

“The team responded very well with winning both those duals,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson.

“We thought we let some matches get away that we probably could have won.”

On Friday, the second-ranked Cyclones (9–2, 2–0 Big 12) scored 16 of their 21 points in five-straight victories after trailing 6–5 three matches into the meet with No. 10 Oklahoma.

Reader

Varner

Sophomore 184-pounder Jerome Ward started the five-match win streak by defeating Eric Schmidtke by a decision of 10–3, followed by senior Jake Varner’s 9–3 decision over the Sooners’ Eric Lapotsky.

David Zabriskie (Hwt), Andrew Long (125) and Nick Fanthorpe (133) rounded out the scoring frenzy with two decisions and a major decision, respectively.

“As a team we’re starting to make

the connections that we’ve been training to do,” said Jon Reader, whose 19–4 technical fall over Tyler Caldwell sparked the Cyclones’ first points of the night.

“It was a great atmosphere and competitive playground, and we went out there, and we had to rally as a team.”

Iowa State’s victory over Oklahoma extended its winning streak against the Big 12 opponent to eight matches dating back to 2003.

The Cyclones hit the road Saturday for a day of preparation before facing an even greater challenge against the No. 3 Oklahoma State Cowboys on Sunday.

The redshirt freshman Long started off the dual meet with a 20–5 technical fall over Chris Notte — who is

ranked ninth at 125 pounds — with a fall time of 6:59.

The Cyclones found themselves behind again after three matches, but this time by a greater margin of 9–5 after sophomore Dalton Jensen got pinned by eighth-ranked Jamal Parks in 2:42.

The Cyclones responded with three straight decisions, starting with Mitch Mueller’s 7–2 decision over Quinten Fuentes.

Sophomore Andrew Sorenson pulled off an upset by defeating No. 13 Neil Erisman by a decision of 8–7.

Sorenson’s victory helped the Cyclones regain the lead, 11–9, heading into the 165-pound match.

Sophomore runner Semehar Tesfaye took the title in the mile run for the Cyclones, while Dani Stack and Paige Ties set personal bests in the event with fourth- and ninth-place finishes.

The personal bests continued to pour in for the Cyclones as the senior Penticoff placed second in the 1,000-meter run, setting a personal best along with the third- and fourth-place finishers in the event, junior Ines Fischer and sophomore Kellien Oettle.

Kianna Elahi took home the title in the 600yard run, just missing a personal-best time.

Another personal best was set for recent redshirt junior transfer Emily Nugent, who competed unattached in the weight throw.

Editor N. Sandell | sports@iowastatedaily.com | 515.294.3148

Her throw of 54 feet, 09.25 inches — which beat her previous mark by over two feet — was good enough to win the event for the ISU women.

The women finished one, two and three in the event with Danielle Frere and Hayli Bozarth following behind Nugent.

Junior Britta Christofferson took home second place in the shot put, while sophomore Caitlin Weber finished third in the pole vault competition to round out the strong performances for the women.

“I think, for the most part, we’re coming out of it healthy, which is good,” ISU head coach Corey Ihmels said after the meet.

“We’re coming out of it with a lot of positive momentum, but understand that we’ve got a long road ahead of us and we’re going to have to be firing on all cylinders to do what we want to do this season.”

and we also had riding time against us,” Jackson said of the 157-pound match.

“Andrew Sorenson had to get three takedowns in the third period to win that match with the takedown at the very end of the period,” Jackson said.

“That was definitely one of the turning points in the dual. If we lose that match, we probably don’t win that dual.”

Reader, who is ranked third in the nation at 165 pounds, rounded off the scoring surge for the Cyclones by defeating ninth-ranked Alex Meade by a decision of 7–5.

Varner recorded a teamleading 10th pin of the season

by taking down seventh-ranked Alan Gelogaev with a fall time of 4:43.

Varner, the reigning national champion at 197 pounds, handed Gelogaev, a native of Moscow, Russia, his second loss of the season.

Varner’s pin put the Cyclones into a critical 20–15 lead with one match to go in the dual meet.

“Jake Varner coming up with the fall at 197 pounds was very huge, and it separated us enough to have that match,” Jackson said.

“It really looked like the dual meet was going to come down to the heavyweight [match], but Jake went out there and he does what the best wrestler in the country does, and that’s perform at a very high level.

“And for him to get that fall was huge for us.”

Senior David Zabriskie ended the dual with his eighth career match against Jared Rosholt, who is ranked No. 1 in the nation at heavyweight.

After trailing 5–2 heading into the third period, Zabriskie tied the match at 5–5 with a takedown with one minute to go in the match.

Rosholt managed to escape and score a late takedown to beat Zabriskie by a decision of 8–5.

Despite the loss, Zabriskie’s performance secured the 20-18 victory for the Cyclones.

The second-ranked Cyclones will keep the momentum going against No. 6 Cornell University at 1 p.m. next Sunday in Ithaca, N.Y.

Daily Sudoku

Daily Horoscope : by Nancy Black and Stephanie Clements

Virgo: Focus on one thing.

Today’s Birthday: (1/25/2010) Your attention leans toward internal feelings. Your decision-making process takes place in seclusion this year, and family members or associates may feel that you’ve withdrawn from them, which you have. Allow the inner balance you discover to shine through in relationships.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is an 8 -- If you’ve done your homework, you now are on top of the work game. Others struggle to bring their minds on line while you race ahead.

Level: MEDIUM INSTRUCTIONS: Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every number 1 to 9. For strategies on solving Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.

Solution:

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Somebody throws zingers your way, and you wonder why you didn’t see them coming. It doesn’t matter. You still have to face the music. Resolve things privately.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -Today is a 6 -- Hopefully you made a priority list on Friday. You need it now to help you get through a busy

Monday. Congratulate yourself later.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -Today is a 6 -- You’re pulled in two directions at once. Work demands your full attention, yet relationships draw your mind away. Work first.

Follow your heart later.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Expect to find yourself in the spotlight. You can showcase your practiced efforts. Remember the associates who got you where you are today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- You have more than enough to do today. In fact, you have enough for the rest of the week. Prioritize with logic, not emotion. Then focus on one thing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Ideas you’ve been throwing around take shape. Relax as you begin to understand exactly what sort of effort is required to achieve your goal.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- Prepare yourself for some

good news. It’s about time! Optimism increases exponentially as new ideas take shape. Get practical later. There’s plenty of time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -Today is an 8 -- It’s hard to remain logical when you’re being pulled in so many directions at once. Focus on what’s right in front of you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Plagiarism is the highest form of compliment. So use other people’s words to your advantage, and thank others when they use yours.

I love snow. Just sayin’. ··· Don’t get on Facebook…when you’re drunk. Nothing good happens, Just sayin’. ··· You know the T-Rex skeleton in the lobby of the Museum of Natural History? I feel like Mole-Bio needs one to scare incoming freshman on their way to Bio 211. ··· Way to be childish and leave hate notes on your roommates’ doors instead of talking it out. I’m glad to see you’ve really progressed since the 3rd grade. ··· Hey guy studying at the library next to me, stop breathing so loudly. You had to pick the day I forget my iPod. ··· Guys with the chin strap beards: Did you forget the rest of your beard at home?

You look ridiculous. ··· Enough with the fireflies song…seriously! ··· Why doesn’t clearing sidewalks mean actually moving snow off of them? Just askin’… ··· To the kid who found my phone in the snow bank.

Did you like Usher singing “Yeah” in your pocket?...and thanks!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- As long as you understand your desires, you’ll get along fine with others today. Boost everyone’s spirits by involving them all the way to the end.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -Today is a 6 -- Brace yourself! New ideas are flying fast and furious now. Make sure the idea’s author gives you a clear enough picture so you can take action.

SPRINTERS from PAGE 8

ner took second place in the 60-meter dash with a finals time of 6.76 seconds.

“Honestly, I was happy at the time, but I know I could run better,” Warner said. “I know that there are a few things I can fix.”

Although Warner took second place, he was the first collegiate runner to finish as Nike’s Ivory Williams beat him out by 17-hundredths of a second.

Williams time of 6.59 set a new meet and track record.

“It’s good [competing

against professionals] because it makes you really step up your game,” Warner said. “It’s good also because you’re hanging in there with guys that are running professionally.”

Warner also beat out the only other professional in the event, Dexter Faulk, who ran a 6.90.

“In all honesty, [Warner’s] not scared to go up against anyone in the world,” said sprints and hurdles coach Nate Wiens. “[Professional competition] is definitely something they need to see.”

Juniors Amara Sama and

Editor N. Sandell | sports@iowastatedaily.com | 515.294.3148

Jamal Currica also qualified for the finals in the 60-meters dash and took 10th and 15th.

In the men’s throws, Iowa State placed three throwers in the top 10 in the weight throw Friday.

First-year throws coach Grant Wall said he was looking for consistency from his team, but in the end they “outperformed across the board.”

“They definitely performed above my expectations for this meet,” Wall said. “But we are still seven weeks out [from the Big 12 Indoor Championships] so we still have work to do.”

Junior Josh Koglin, a transfer from Saginaw Valley State, competed unattached and took second place in the weight throw in his first meet as a Cyclone.

Koglin made a switch in technique, making three complete turns before throwing the weight — compared to two full turns — and it paid off with a throw of 57 feet, 5 feet.

“I was a little bit off of my [personal record,] but it’s something to work toward, and I know that by the end of the season I’ll be doing it a lot better this way,” Koglin said.

In Saturday’s shot put com-

petition, ISU freshman Daniel Swarbrick competed unattached and took fourth place with a throw of 50 feet, 09.25 inches, throwing 10 feet farther than fellow ISU freshman Anthony Bell, who took 19th after his 40-foot-9-inch throw.

Another ISU athlete competing in his first meet, junior sprinter and jumper Jamal Currica, took second place in the long jump and qualified for the finals in the 60-meter dash.

Currica, also competing unattached, made his way to the finals with a time of 7.03 seconds in the preliminaries, putting up

a new personal record for Currica.

Currica’s former team, Iowa Central, competed in the Open, giving Currica a chance to reunite with his former team.

“I talked to the coach and the whole team; it was fun to compete against those guys,” Currica said.

ISU sophomore Tony Johnson and junior Nick Pearson placed seventh and 10th in the long jump, and sophomore Derek Alderks cleared 6 feet, 6.75 inches in the high jump, good enough for fourth place overall.

TEXAS

Bolte hit a three with 56 seconds to play in overtime, sealing the deal for Iowa State. After a timeout and possession by Texas, freshman post Anna Prins came up with a huge block for the Cyclones, denying the Longhorns’ attempt to score. With five seconds to go, Texas’ Erika Arriaran missed a jumper, but a Texas player was there to snatch the rebound, only to turn it over into the hands of Lacey for the Cyclones to take the game at 73–71. “I don’t know that anyone thought you were going to win the game at one point, but because you finished it, you got a chance to do what you did today.

“You should be very proud of yourself, you should be very

proud of each other,” Fennelly said in his locker room speech.

After bringing a bit of Hilton Magic to Texas, Fennelly reminded players of the fan base waiting in Ames. “Always remember, when we go home, think about the fans you have at home, think about the crowd that you’re going to have on Wednesday night when Oklahoma comes to town,” Fennelly said. “A lot of people didn’t get to see this [game]. Make sure that they get to see this on Wednesday.”

Iowa State will face Oklahoma on Wednesday night in Hilton Coliseum. The No. 13 Sooners are rolling this season and are coming off a victory over Big 12 rival Kansas.

Christopherson added.

Gilstrap was up to the physical play, logging his fourth consecutive double-digit point and rebound game, joining Kevin Durant as the only players to reach that accomplishment in their first four Big 12 events.

McDermott now also drops to 0–16 in his career at Iowa

State against ranked opponents.

The team is in desperate need of a signature win and turnaround to keep prospects for any postseason play, and its 62 points per game in the last three Big 12 matches hasn’t been a positive sign. “We’re going to have to play more consistently than we did today,” McDermott said. “I think it takes a little luck as well, and luck hasn’t really been on our side this week.

“It’s about winning and losing. That’s what we’re here to do.

Obviously my team wasn’t as ready to play today as it needed to be, and that responsibility falls on my shoulders.”

Iowa State will go on the road next week to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. The game in Norman is scheduled for an 8 p.m. Wednesday tipoff.

from PAGE 8

took two attempts from beyond the arc, missed both, but crucial offensive rebounds by Lacey and freshman Amanda Zimmerman kept Iowa State alive.

After a pass from Zimmerman, the ball was in the hands of ISU playmaker, go-to player and leader, Lacey. She hit the three, and it was overtime in Austin, Texas. “To come back the way we did says a lot about the way we compete in a tough environment, and we made some big shots at some big times,” Fennelly said, In overtime, it was again an ISU guard that made the difference at a big time.

KANSAS from PAGE 8

compared to the Jayhawks’ 10 — and it showed on the interior, as Kansas outscored Iowa State in the paint 50–24. “Growing up watching the Big 12, I always thought it was a physical league, and today was a physical game,”
