Group claims Iowa churches are breaking law

Brown remembered

By Tyler.Kingkade iowastatedaily.com While a group tells the Internal Revenue Service an Iowa church is breaking the law in their political involvement, a pastor of the church said he prays the IRS “mercilessly attacks” his church so they can take battle to the Supreme Court. Americans United for Separation of Church and State is calling on the IRS to investigate Cornerstone World Outreach, based in Sioux City, for what it calls a clear violation of their tax exempt status by organizing a scheme called Project Jeremiah 2010, an effort to organize churches to encourage their members to oust three Iowa Supreme Court justices. The Cornerstone church is asking other church leaders to preach on three consecutive Sundays ahead of the election for their congregations to vote no on the retention vote of the justices. In a letter dated Sept. 3 and signed by the Rev. Cary K. Gordon of the church, he wrote about Adolf Hitler’s attempt to keep politics out of churches and provides examples of Biblical text to use in sermons. The Cornerstone World Outreach with PeaceMakers Institute, Liberty Institute and the Iowa Family Policy Center, and is offering free legal protection by the Liberty Institute to any church that would join them. Federal tax law forbids 501(c)3 organizations, such as

Health care reform instigated, covers students longer By Lea.Petersen iowastatedaily.com

Philip Brown said he’s had no worse feeling than emptying out someone’s room. Philip had to do exactly that Thursday: collecting his son’s belongings after the death. Jonathan Brown was pronounced brain dead at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the updates on his family’s blog. Jonathan died as a result of injuries sustained while being struck by a vehicle shortly after the ISU football game Oct. 2. His family gathered to remember times with Jonathan and share the stories only they could tell best. Born in Missouri on Sept. 3, 1989, Jonathan’s continued relationship with Christ was among one of his most important features. “He was very bold in his faith, he would help guide his friends that asked for it,” Philip said. “He would never shove the bible at them, just help.” His bible, which his mother Brenda Brown now possesses, has a metal cover that encloses his markings and favored verses. On the front is the imprint of the top of a soda can and it reads, “Thirsty?” On the back is a quote that asks, “Thirsty for something real?” which is how Jonathan’s father said you could describe him. “He was inquisitive. He would not only talk the talk, but he would walk the walk,” Philip said. “He wanted everyone to think about the future, because he knew tomorrow was never promised.” Jonathan grew up with four siblings. He had his sister, Lisa Langgin, the oldest by 15 years; followed by a brother, Matthew Brown; and a sister, Hannah Abbott. Because of the age difference between his siblings, Jonathan was always mature. He enjoyed being around them, along with his four

nephews and niece. “It was never weird having a brother that was so much younger than me,” said Langgin. “We are a very closeknit family.” Growing up, Jonathan was known to always have a smile on his face, but also had a very short temper. He did grow out of that temper; a friend at Iowa State helped him manage it. “His friend on campus would call him the Irish Hand Grenade, and every time

No residents were injured in a fire caused by a child playing with a lighter Tuesday a Clark Avenue apartment building, Ames Fire Department officials said. All six residents at home in the four-unit building exited safely when the fire was detected at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, officials said in a news release. A firefighter suffered a minor burn on his neck, but was treated at the scene. The fire, caused by a child playing with a cigarette lighter, resulted in $45,000 worth of damage to the four-unit building, according to the release. The fire remains under investigation.

President Barack Obama’s health care reform came into full effect Sept. 23, and in the complexity of the issue, students are impacted by the recent legislation. “This is actually some good stuff,” said Michelle Hendricks, director of the Thielen Student Health Center, as she explained the advantages of the new health care plan. Hendricks recently attended a conference focused solely on Obama’s health care reform. One of the new additions to the bill includes allowing students to stay on their parents’ insurance until the age of 26. Even though the number of insured ISU students is higher than the national average, being allowed to remain on parents’ health care plans will still aid students greatly, Hendricks said. “If a student were to suddenly fall ill, instead of worrying about payments and, consequently, needing to miss a semester of class because of high medical bills, Obama’s required insurance will help pay for the expenses,” Hendricks said. Because most ISU students are insured, Hendricks doesn’t anticipate any major changes having to take place at Thielen. Some colleges currently require a hard wavier, meaning that incoming students have to provide proof of insurance before being accepted. With the reform this prerequisite may be implemented across the nation. “While Iowa State does not enforce the hard wavier, it is

Science and technology seem to be the answer to conquering sustainability and biodiversity issues in the world. Hundreds of students, faculty and farmers from the Ames community and around the globe participated in the Global Farmer Town Hall meeting that was held Tuesday morning in Howe Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to bring together people with an interest in agriculture to discuss issues in sustainability and biodiversity. A panel consisting of three farmers and two experts in the agricultural field, along with Tom Vilsack, secretary of agriculture, answered questions and shared their personal experiences in promoting sustainability and biodiversity in agriculture. One of the topics panelists agreed upon was that produc-

tion levels on farms are increasing while the amount of land the crops are produced on remains the same. Rajesh Kumar, vegetable and cotton farmer from India, said many of the farmers in India have started planting high yielding varieties of seed. However, small farmers and those in developing countries do not always have access to the science and technology needed. “In Brazil, we have two situations: We have big farmers that have access to technology and biotechnology and we have small farmers that don’t have access, they don’t have knowledge about the environment,” said Camila Illich, crop and tree farmer from Brazil. Panelists also addressed the topic of sustainability directly. Gary Munkvold, chairman of the graduate program in seed technology and business at Iowa State, said there are three components of sustainability: economic, environment and societal. “All three of those compo-

NEW YORK: Hilary Duff may be a recently married young woman of 23, but when it comes to books she’s not quite ready to grow up. She said she loves reading young adult books even though she’s a little older than the target demographic. It makes sense the actress and singer would decide to write her ďŹ rst novel, “Elixir,â€? for the younger set. She plans to make it the ďŹ rst in a series of novels. Besides writing, she wed pro hockey player Mike Comrie in August.

NEW YORK: Jerry Lee Lewis has a book deal. It Books, an imprint of HarperCollins, announced the book Tuesday. The currently untitled memoir is due in 2012. Lewis, in a statement from the publisher, said he is ready to say “a whole lot� about his life. He said, “People can read it, burn it, or never give it another thought. Either way the truth is about to be told, and I’m the only man still standing who can touch it.� The rock ‘n’ roll great is known for such piano-driven smashes as “Great Balls of Fire� and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.� He is equally well-known for a private life as wild as his stage act, from getting thrown out of Bible school to his marriage to a 13-year-old cousin that nearly destroyed his career.

Violence

Mexican investigator killed OLSW OLY ZH`

¸@LZ š

.BJO t XXX BNFTTJMWFSTNJUIJOH DPN t

By April Castro and Olga Rodriguez The Associated Press AUSTIN — A Mexican police commander investigating the disappearance of an American tourist on a border lake plagued by pirates was killed, U.S. and Mexican officials said Tuesday. Rolando Flores, the commander of state investigators in Ciudad Miguel Aleman who was part of a group investigating the reported shooting of David Hartley, was slain, said Ruben Rios, spokesman for the Tamaulipas state prosecutor’s office. Rios said authorities “don’t know how or why he was killed. We don’t have any details on how he died.� U.S. officials have said threats from drug gangs who control the area around Falcon Lake have hampered the search for Hartley. Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday that backing off when confronted by threats like the slaying of the police commander is “the worst thing we can do.� “I think their attempt is to intimidate law enforcement, no matter who they are or where they are,� Perry told The Associated Press. Their message is to “stay out of their territory.� “The worst thing we can do is let the terrorists dictate the terms of how we’re going to live.� Perry said the threat should be handled by upping “the numbers of law enforcement and military.� Hartley’s wife, Tiffany, says she and her husband were attacked by pirates on the lake on Sept. 30, while they were returning to the United States from Mexico on Jet Skis. Hartley was shot and presumably fell into the lake. U.S. officials, particularly Perry, and Hartley’s family have been pressuring Mexico to step up the search for Hartley and determine what happened. Fred Garza, chief deputy sheriff in Webb County, on the Texas-Mexico border, said the search was continuing

Tuesday. Falcon Lake is a dammed section of the Rio Grande, 25 miles long and 3 miles across. Pirates have robbed boaters and ďŹ sherman on the Mexican side, prompting warnings to Americans by Texas state officials, but Hartley’s death would mark the ďŹ rst violent fatality on the lake. Tiffany Hartley said men on three speedboats ďŹ red on her and her husband as they were riding Jet Skis back from a trip to Tamaulipas to photograph a halfsubmerged church, and that her husband was shot in the head. She said she tried to retrieve his body and his Jet Ski but the pirates continued ďŹ ring and she ed to the U.S. side. Zapata County, Texas, Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez has said he has an eyewitness who corroborates her account. Dennis Hartley, David Hartley’s father, expressed shock and regret at Flores’ killing. “I just, I’m in shock about this right now,â€? he told The Associated Press from his Colorado home. “I really don’t have any

hope that David will be found. I really hate other people putting their lives at stake. We don’t need more sons lost. If this is true, I’m just really heart broken that this happened.� The Mexican Foreign Ministry says it has been using federal, state and local resources, including the military and helicopters, to search for Hartley’s body and opened an investigation. Over the weekend, authorities named two possible suspects. That part of Tamaulipas state is overrun by violence from a turf battle between the Gulf Cartel and the Zeta drug gang, made up of former Mexican special forces soldiers, and both are battling the Mexican military. Last week, Perry had asked Mexican President Felipe Calderon to call him within 48 hours and said that he expected a body to have been recovered by then. Perry also said last week that even the threat of drug gang violence against search crews was no reason to halt the efforts.

Jonathan was feeling irritable they would joke about pulling the pin on the grenade,â€? Matthew said. “It would just make him laugh.â€? Matthew works for the Rockwell Collins, in Cedar Rapids, where Jonathan interned last summer. “I got to spend a lot of time with him there, we got to talk a lot and I got to know him in the work force,â€? Matthew said. “He was very diligent and good at ďŹ guring out things on his own.â€? Jonathan was a good ďŹ t for the company. He was assigned a project to create a minibox, which Matthew said was a part that connects two pieces together, and Jonathan completed it. Rockwell Collins was very impressed with his work and his mother mentioned that they planned on asking him back next summer. Since elementary school, Jonathan excelled in academics. While viewing his report cards you would see nothing but A’s, plus signs and the occasional B mark. His specialties were math and science which could explain his love for engineering. In high school friends could catch him studying rather than going to a party on the weekends. He carried those habits over to Iowa State and got involved with Salt as well. “He never drank, never smoked and that was something we were certain of — he never had any interest in it,â€?

Philip said. Although studying and being active with Christ were highly important to Jonathan, he enjoyed sports as well. “He never played them, but he watched them,� Philip said. He did enjoy playing disc golf, and he was also on the intramural basketball team. His favorite professional teams to watch were the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs. Being born in Missouri and having many of his relatives reside there is how his love for those teams began. Jonathan’s love for his friends was just as strong. Rather than using extra CyCash on himself, Jonathan was known to take all his

friends out and spend it on something together. “He’d grab his buddies and say, ‘Hey let’s go buy a pizza,’ or let a friend that needed the extra cash use it.â€? Matthew said and a friend of Jonathan’s had mentioned the notable characteristic to him at the celebration service. But it wasn’t the only sign he was a giver. Jonathan made the decision when he was 16 to be an organ donor. Doctors told the Brown family that he has the potential to save ďŹ ve lives. His heart, pancreas, liver and both kidneys went to two kids, two adults and one teenager. “Through Christ is the only way we’ve been able to get

through this,� Matthew said. “Iowa State has been extremely supportive, especially Dione Somerville, the dean of students,� Philip said. “She was with us the night of the accident and stayed until the late hours of the night at the hospital. Iowa State is very family oriented and it’s nice to know that.� The visitation for Jonathan was held Sunday at the Pennsylvania Avenue Free Methodist Church. The Celebration Service was held Monday morning at the church. At Iowa State, Salt Company held a memorial in honor of Jonathan and the athletic department honored him at the football game versus Utah.

Campustown stimulation needs to occur

There used to be a McDonalds on Welch Avenue. Seriously. Right where Welch Crown Center stands. Hordes of students commuting to and from Towers stopped in for $1 fries and milkshakes on a daily basis. Headliners used to be called Peoples, the seedy staircase underneath used to lead to the best dive bar in town, Lumpy’s, and Es Tas used to be one-fourth the size and twice the fun. Things have changed a lot since the Towers came down. Upperclassmen migrated to Schlitter Village or Frederickson Court, and Campustown lost foot traffic. A ton of foot traffic. McDonalds closed almost immediately thereafter, along with the Blimpie’s that once existed where Battle’s BBQ now stands. The Varsity theatre is gone, the space adjacent to Jeff’s Pizza has been a book store, skate store and purse store within the span of five years, and even the shoe store between Copyworks and Mickey’s went out of business. We’re skeptical about the actual effects the LANE4 proposal will have on Campustown. We question the need for a hotel, especially at the expense of the accommodations in the Memorial Union. We’re all about a Buffalo Wild Wings or Olive Garden — not driving to Des Moines for UFC fights or unlimited breadsticks sounds pretty awesome — but at the same time, we’d rather see that cash flow to the folks that run Planet Sub or Thai Kitchen. One of our board members asked President Geoffroy about the plans for the remaining towers complex, and we weren’t exactly thrilled. As it turns out, the university has no plans for building student housing at that location, and when asked whether there where plans to lease or sell the lot to developers, the answer was a firm “no.” We understand that abundant housing exists on and around campus. At the same time, we’d like to think that keeping Campustown economically viable should be a major concern for the university, and the Ames community. Some would like to believe that campus is an island unto itself, and that all student needs can be found within its borders. We can’t help but wonder if these people have spent an extended amount of time on campus, or any other college town for that matter. We most certainly need affordable food within walking distance, and until the capitalists at ISU Dining decide $1.75 is a ridiculous price for a bottle of soda, we’re all about a grocery store. But, we think the better solution would be to increase the foot traffic in the area. The Intermodal Transportation Facility definitely isn’t going to cut it, and we miss seeing a thriving economy on Welch Ave. If you’ve never been there at 1:00 p.m. on a weekend, you’d swear it was an entirely different place. It’s almost a ghost town now — it’s almost as bad as main street. We’re not sure why the university has taken the stance it has. Freddy Court has to be close to breaking even, and the remaining towers are going to meet the same fate as the old ones some time in the near future. It’s a shame, too — when they weren’t dingy, they were pretty cool. We really hope there are minds to be changed on this subject, and we don’t think we’re alone. Campustown definitely needs a boost, and the university could do just as much, if not more, than what LANE4 has proposed. Especially on the other end of Welch.

An international outlook By Tyler.Lage iowastatedaily.com

Student offers insight to studying in foreign places

I

have had the opportunity to both host international guests and be an international guest on more than one occasion. During the course of my experiences I have acquired a body of knowledge sure to be useful to the average international student studying at Iowa State or the ISU student getting ready to study abroad. So, without further ado: Befriend a Native This item is first for a reason. It is the single most important thing you could do during your time abroad. In-country friends enable the completion of the rest of the list much more easily and aid in the discovery of local traditions and hot spots. Additionally, they often come complete with homes, cars, and connections that can be useful and rewarding not only on your current trip, but on trips to come. Finally, knowing a native can be rewarding for both people as it pertains to gaining an appreciation for another culture. Be Prepared to Gain 10 Pounds (4.54 kilograms for my metric friends) When I studied in Ireland, there was a fish and chips place down the street. As it

was the closest restaurant, as well as a local legend, we patronized it weekly. We had a challenge associated with the restaurant that centered on trying to return the two blocks to our apartment without letting the breaded fish that was double-wrapped in butcher paper saturate our hands with grease. Needless to say, the food was unforgettable. There is going to be amazing food in any study abroad location. It is understandable that on occasion you will need the comfort food of home — for me, in Ireland it meant visiting the astronomically expensive and only Mexican place in town). However, as often as possible, enjoy the local cuisine. In Ames that means navigating the crowd of drunken revelers Friday night for a gyro, slipping in for Burger Wednesdays or the taco buffet at Es Tas, or trekking out to WestCyde Wings for Tuesday Wing Night. For the adventurous eater, it means begging a ride to Ames to tackle the mammoth Adam Emmenecker sandwich at Jethro’s BBQ — recently featured on “Man v. Food.” Finally, there are the drink specials, to which another section of this newspaper is dedicated. Don’t let your belt stand between you and an unforgettable culinary experience abroad. Get Involved in Local Traditions Whether it involves late-night nudity,

petty larceny or merely good-natured trespassing, there is bound to be a local tradition that trips your trigger. Ask your aforementioned local friend about the local fare. Keep in mind that in some countries petty crime can mean deportation. As such, it is helpful to know the law before you bend it. Attend Sporting Events It could be justifiably argued that this category should be included in the above one. However, in most countries around the world, sport is important enough to deserve its own distinction. In Ames this means getting up at 7 a.m. to go tailgate a football game. It means roadtripping to an away football or basketball game in some exotic locale like Manhattan, Kansas or Norman, Okla. It means watching 300-pound men abuse each other on the mat while 120-pound girls simultaneously catapult themselves into the air. Most importantly it means screaming your eyeballs out with 10,000 like-minded fans. Be Adventurous The entire gist of this writing can be summed up by this headline. Being adventurous will provide you with people to meet, things to eat and activities to try. It will allow you to go home without regrets and make your time spent abroad unforgettable.

iPhone

Verizon to receive ‘Jesus phone’?

O

h how nice it would be, the largest cellular network in the United States, with their unlimited data plans and their “stable” cell phone coverage, not to mention their halfway-decent customer service, to include the Apple iPhone in their lineup of handsets. This idea and the many rumors surrounding it is an interesting concept in and of itself. Ever since the iPhone came out in 2007, there has been speculation as to when it would come out on another network. Some rumors claiming Sprint, others T-Mobile at times, but the spotlight was always aimed at Verizon. The most recent rumors have been so specific that they seem to be very real, but technical feasibility gets in the way. As of late, not only have the rumors increased in quantity, but in quality. The reason there’s no iPhone on Verizon is because of how their network is set up. Verizon runs on what is called a CDMA network, while AT&T runs on GSM. These are two different types of mobile telephone networks, their actual inner workings aside, what this means for the iPhone is this: GSM means you can use data and talk on the phone at the same time, whereas on CDMA, you can only do one or the other. This doesn’t fly with guys in Cupertino, so what can you do? One idea would be to put in two CDMA chips into the phone so it can do both functions, or wait. As you might have seen, the U.S. cellphone carriers are rolling out their 4G networks that allow for increased mobile broadband speeds. Both Verizon and AT&T are going with a network called Long Term Evolution. This new technology could possibly allow

By Heath.Verhasselt iowastatedaily.com for both carriers to carry similar phones. The only problem is, Verizon has just started to roll out LTE, and won’t have it nationwide for quite some time. So even if it could work from a technical standpoint, is it even legal? From the facts that we do know, AT&T has a contract with Apple for the iPhone for five years. This would mean exclusivity for AT&T through 2012. Then the real question is, what changes from year to year with this contract? Does it extend with each new iPhone, or is it a new contract entirely since the subject matter has changed every year since the phone has come out. I’m no law expert, but since we have no idea what’s going on behind closed doors, we can’t rule out these as possibilities. Also never to be ruled out is AT&T paying Apple truckloads of cash to keep the exclusivity. So now we know it just might be possible to make what has been dubbed as the “Jesus Phone” work on the Verizon network. Let’s talk about why you don’t want a Verizon iPhone. You will never be able to tether. Ever. Verizon, just like AT&T doesn’t like you using boatloads of data and will never enable this feature, even if you pay them extra. Which Verizon may do, how can we know for sure. Verizon will also load your phone up with more bloatware than a computer you buy at the store. Because we all love the V-Cast store right on our home screen, VZ-navigator set as the navigation default and Bing locked in as the search engine, right? Guess what else we didn’t think of? Price. A Verizon iPhone will cost you your first born child for its monthly service. Verizon will

Since it’s release in 2007, there has been speculation as to when Apple’s iPhone would arrive to other networks other than AT&T. Graphic: Logan Gaedke Iowa State Daily

use a pricing model similar to that of Sprint with their Evo 4G. You will have to pay a premium to use their 4G LTE network, so expect an extra $10 or so attached to the standard Verizon data plan. With monthly plans starting at $39, $40 for data, $20 more for unlimited texting, we’re looking at close to $100 a month, $1,200 a year. This used to be about the price on AT&T, but they recently lowered their data prices; strange coincidence. So really it’s up to you and your preferences. Depending on how they roll it out, you get to decide: Do you want to be able to make a phone call? If

yes, go with Verizon. Do you want a locked-down phone with bloatware, and expensive plans? Then skip Verizon and go with At&T. Will this phone actually come out? I honestly don’t know anymore. It seems like something that will never come true in our lifetime. At the end of the day, with all the hype involved, it’s just a phone and we need to remember that. But with that being said, there’s nothing like having the entire Internet in your pocket, and although the HTC Evo and other Android phones come close, there’s nothing quite like the iPhone. And so we wait.

Fall Tights BY ABBY GILMAN ISD STYLE WRITER

LACE/FLORAL:

Lace tights really emerged as a strong trend last fall, and they are here to stay. There are many different types of lace: some are more floral, others more classic, but either way, you can’t go wrong. Pair lace tights with a pair of boots and a larger print on top for a fun look, or a black high-wasted skirt for a classic look. Psst, try this! Mix a floral lace pair of tights with a graphic printed dress. Just make sure to mix up the sizes of prints.

Tights are an essential to add the final touch to bringing a summer look into fall. In addition to adding warmth, they make any outfit more interesting and are a great item to add your personality. Here are a few new tricks to try!

PURPLE TIGHTS:

Dark, jewel-toned tights are really in this fall. Whether they are plain, graphic, or lace, your legs will stop people in their tracks. Have fun mixing and matching colors, but remember this isn’t the 80s anymore, so stay away from bright, neon colors. Psst, try this! Layer a pair of lace tights over your colored tights. It will add texture and keep everyone looking.

Worn with tights, shorts are a great choice for fall. Don’t be afraid to experiment with bold colors, textures, and waist styles. High-waisted shorts paired with a belt, tucked in top, tights, and boots make it easy to pull together several of this fall’s trends. PHOTO BY : ABBY GILMAN

Big 12 half-season ranking shows Cornhuskers at No. 1, Iowa State trails at No. 8

Wednesday win crucial

Editor’s Note:

Blocking plan to play large part in match versus Wildcats

Now halfway through the season, the Daily will rank the Big 12’s football teams in order, from strongest to weakest, top to bottom. National rankings and performance will be taken into consideration, but hopefully we can watch enough football to make informed opinions. Ties will be broken through unscientific methodology. 1: Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-0, 1-0) It could be Taylor Martinez’s legs. It could be the fact that the defense doesn’t appear to have lost a step without Ndamukong Suh’s departure from last season. Whatever the key to their strong start has been, they’re huge favorites over Texas this week and effectively shut down their toughest threat in the Big 12 North with their demolition of Kansas State. It’s the last year for Nebraska in the conference, and the team has set itself up for a championship-type finish. 2: Oklahoma Sooners (5-0, 1-0) Wins over Florida State and Air Force are starting to look pretty good. Both opponents haven’t lost since taking on the Sooners, and while Missouri could pose a threat, the lone ranked team left on the schedule is Oklahoma State. The 33-game home winning streak is still intact. The team is coming off of a bye. Demarco Murray and Ryan Broyles are healthy. The defense could use a boost, but things are comfortable in Norman this week. 3: Oklahoma State Cowboys (5-0, 1-0) Quarterback Brandon Weeden is tossing the ball around like it’s 2007 in the Big 12, Justin Blackmon looks like he’ll grab more scores and yardage than Dez Bryant did, and Kendall Hunter is still carting the ball around for 140 yards per game. Not nearly as high in the rankings as their in-state rivals, the Cowboys are undefeated and putting plenty of points on the scoreboard. Oklahoma State will get tested the next three weeks, but we’ll soon find out if its run for the Big 12 South crown is for real. 4: Kansas State Wildcats (4-1, 1-1) It feels like they lost more than one game when Taylor Martinez gained 241 yards on them last week. Kansas State’s tough defense and hard-nosed running threat to Nebraska took a big hit last week. Daniel Thomas was held to 2.9 yards per carry against the Huskers, as the Blackshirts proved Kansas State couldn’t move the ball without him. They’ll get a couple weeks now to get bowl eligible and back on track. 5: Texas Longhorns (3-2, 1-1) Hopefully the bye week will fix them? Texas’ offense has struggled all season, and Mack Brown promised changes after back-to-back losses. Things get easier after traveling to Lincoln, but you can bet fans in Austin didn’t think this team could hit .500 just nine months after a loss in the National Championship game. This team is plenty talented to still get to a good bowl game, but at least part of the turnaround needs to occur this week. 6: Missouri Tigers (5-0, 1-0) The undefeated Tigers aren’t getting any respect, just a week removed from shutting out Colorado. To be fair, Mizzou hasn’t had to play any games away from home this season, but getting Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Nebraska in the next three weeks will define this squad. We’re taking a tentative position on this undefeated squad, and we’ll see what’s left of them come November. 7: Texas A&M Aggies (3-2, 0-1) Two losses to ranked teams mean this Aggie team isn’t doomed, just struggling. A win at home against Missouri would go a long way to putting them back on the map as a contender or spoiler in the South. Jerrod Johnson could use some help, as his passer rating has plummeted in the past two weeks. The Big 12’s Preseason MVP better start showing why he was given that title if he’s going to get his team to eight wins. 8: Iowa State Cyclones (3-3, 1-1) The Cyclones tough schedule is finally getting the better of them. Tired legs, tired minds, and another couple road games mean this season could get more miserable than tough in a hurry. If the Cyclones can limit the damage and take their lumps against Oklahoma, they may be able to give Texas a run next week. Confidence is on a teeter-totter right now, and this team is at a turning point, whether or not they turned the corner. 9: Baylor Bears (4-2, 1-1) A shootout loss against the Red Raiders puts this team down from where it could have been, but a solid campaign thus far gives them the nod over Texas Tech. Robert Griffin shouldn’t shoulder any blame for the loss, but their Bears’ two minute offense didn’t shine on the final drive at the Cotton Bowl. A very winnable game against Colorado would put Baylor just one win from bowl eligibility. 10: Texas Tech (3-2, 1-2) If the Red Raiders hadn’t been on the verge of going 0-3 in Big 12 play, the performance of Taylor Potts alone could boost them a few spots in the rankings. Tommy Tuberville’s boys are passing the ball like they’re playing for Mike Leach, but the defense could use a strong effort against Oklahoma State to salvage some toughness in their reputation. 11: Colorado Buffaloes (3-2, 0-1) One week they rush the field after beating a poor Georgia team. The next they get shut out by a division rival. The Buffaloes can’t find any semblance of consistency, with coach Dan Hawkins having to reaffirm that Tyler Hansen would still be his quarterback this week. Baylor will show whether the Buffaloes have another shot at getting bowl eligibility, but the tough schedule the rest of the way will make it difficult for this team to have success this season. 12: Kansas Jayhawks (2-3, 0-1) A week after a 55-7 loss at Baylor will help ease the pain in Lawrence. The last place spot and a bounce back game against a ticked off Kansas State probably won’t. It’s been a rough first half of the year for the Jayhawks, and closing out the year with three currently undefeated conference opponents isn’t any better. Ouch.

By Jake.Calhoun iowastatedaily.com Saturday’s four-set loss to Kansas in Lawrence, Kan., was a sobering moment for an ISU volleyball team that had previously compiled a 53-match win streak against unranked opponents. “We were all pretty upset that we lost, because we knew that we could have played better,” said senior Victoria Henson, who had a match-high 22 kills. “We just weren’t prepared to come in and just play for every single point as hard as we could.” The 13th-ranked Cyclones (11-4, 4-3 Big 12) will be trying to improve their performance and avoid dropping two-straight matches as they host Kansas State (9-9, 3-4) on Wednesday night at Ames High School. In their last match, the Wildcats were swept by No. 11 Texas in Manhattan, Kan., after giving up early momentum to the Longhorns. They have also dropped matches against Oklahoma, Missouri and Kentucky — all of whom have experienced losses to the Cyclones. “I think they block pretty well,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “We have to anticipate that they’re going to block the way teams have been blocking us lately, which is double up on our outside attackers, and leave our other hitters one-on-one.” The Wildcats pride themselves in their blocking ability as their showcase strength, averaging 2.59 blocks per set, which is second in the Big 12 behind only No. 3 Nebraska. As of late, their opponents have been trying to force the Cyclone middle blockers and rightside hitters to attack one-on-one, slowing their offensive production down a bit. “We’ve got to make sure that we are ready for a game plan like that again, that they’re going to block our outsides, double up on them, maybe even triple up,” Johnson-Lynch said. This style of play might present a large amount of pressure to the Cyclones’ middle blockers — junior Debbie Stadick and sophomore Jamie Straube. “If K-State runs a lot of quick attack and if you just never know what their setter is going to set, it throws your middle off balance a little bit,” Johnson-Lynch said. “They’ve got to be

ready to move everywhere.” Outside hitter JuliAnne Chisholm leads the Wildcats in kills this season with 223 — just four short of Henson’s cumulative total of 227 so far on the season — while averagJohnson-Lynch ing 3.38 kills per set. “She’s a little bit smaller, but she’s got a great vertical jump,” Johnson-Lynch said of Chisholm. “She’s just a really nice athlete. We’re going to try to find a way to contain her.” Iowa State’s right-side hitPetersen ter Kelsey Petersen has improved her play over the past two matches, registering 16 kills while hitting at a .316 clip. The junior from Kearney, Neb., has seen a dramatic improvement after averaging just .170 with 22 kills over the span of four matches before last Wednesday’s sweep of Texas Tech. “I came to realize that I need to start playing within myself,” Petersen said. “I’m not going to go out there and hit like Vic or Carly [Jenson], I need to just play for myself.”

Johnson-Lynch noticed some weaknesses in the Cyclones’ loss to Kansas that she emphasized as areas of improvement for the match against Kansas State. “Our blocking numbers were too low against Kansas and they have been for a little while, so we’re going to try to address our blocking numbers, just block more balls per game,” JohnsonLynch said. “That needs to be addressed, and we’re going to be spending a lot of time in practice on blocking.” Regardless of what position the offensive attacks come from, Johnson-Lynch is also stressing the importance of increasing offensive production from any position. “Obviously Victoria is putting up crazy good numbers, so we’re pretty good there. Carly has been playing really well and putting up nice numbers,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We just need a little more offense from a couple more spots.” The match starts at 7 p.m. at Ames High School. “We really need this win because after the loss on Saturday. We need just to rebuild ourselves and get our confidence back up,” Petersen said. “A win Wednesday is very crucial for us.”

Adversity hangs over Iowa State By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com Iowa State has pressing concerns after a 41-point loss to the No. 11 Utah Utes, especially with No. 6 Oklahoma waiting for them in just three days. Iowa State is tired heading into week seven of the season, and nagging injuries and worn-out bodies might start to take their toll, especially with elite competition. The Cyclones hit the road the next two weeks, with Norman, Okla., and Austin, Texas, typically being two of the toughest places to play in the country. The Sooners’ current home winning streak began Sept. 1, 2005, and has stretched 33 games. A-Rob’s health Starting running back Alexander Robinson scored Iowa State’s first touchdown against Utah, but was held to a season low in total yardage, on just 15 combined touches. Robinson was held out from practice for most of the week leading up to the Utah game, but aggravated his foot during the game, and is now doubtful for playing against Oklahoma. “Nay, if I had to guess right now,” said coach Paul Rhoads. “And, at best, he’ll be limited if he is healthy and ready to play.” X-rays came back negative on the senior’s foot, but the injury is on the same leg as his prior ankle sprain. Robinson was able to play on the ankle sprain and healed up, but currently in a protective boot for his foot, is working out in Iowa State’s Swim-X in order to exercise without putting pressure on the injury. “No crutches, but the boot will help to restrict the movement. In his mind, I guarantee he thinks he’ll be playing Saturday night,” Rhoads said. Robinson has been the team’s leading rusher for the last three years, and is still the leading rusher on this year’s team, despite averaging 25 less yards per game than he did in 2009. Backups Shontrelle Johnson and Jeff Woody will likely see the bulk of the carries, and have combined for 323 yards on the ground. “You can’t replace a No. 33, he’s so knowledgeable in this offense,”

said quarterback Austen Arnaud. “He’s a vital tool in this offenses progress, but when you have Shontrelle, and Jeff, and James [White], it helps.”

Tau’fo’ou

Bye weeks Baylor and Iowa State are the only Big 12 teams without Klein off-weeks during the long football season, and the Cyclones are starting to feel the wear-and-tear. Robinson’s leg injuries are notable concerns, but on a defense that has faced more than 160 snaps in the last two weeks, players are getting worn out. Middle linebacker Matt Tau’fo’ou’s broken leg early in the season put added pressure on a young linebacker corps, and sophomores Jake Knott and A.J. Klein have been on the field for almost every snap this season, and are ranked No. 26 and No. 13 in the country in tackles per game. Both linebackers also play special teams on the punt unit. “We’d like to be able to rest them, but probably we’ll change our practice schedule around to accommodate that for our entire football team,” Rhoads said. While the timing of each team’s off-week varies, the Cyclones being without one during the difficult schedule this season is causing

problems. The team isn’t begging to sit down and relax, but taking on No. 11 Utah, No. 6 Oklahoma and another road game at traditional power Texas on three consecutive weeks mean the Cyclones could use some time to heal. “It would be good to have an open date right now, or even last week, just because of where we’re at in the season, and what our health situation is,” Rhoads said. “Utah was clearly a faster football team than we were. They were also clearly a fresher football team than we were.” The Cyclones currently have bye weeks on schedules in the next few years, as the team switches to three non-conference games. Next season, the bye week comes Sept. 24, after a road trip against Connecticut, but before hosting the Texas Longhorns. Team speed Rhoads described the main difference between Iowa State and Utah as speed, after the game Saturday night. Utah’s special teams edge and success in spreading the field for 7.5 yards per offensive play means the Cyclones have plenty to work on before taking on Oklahoma. The Sooners surely won’t be any slower than the Utes were on the grass at Jack Trice. “They’re every bit as good. It’s hard to accurately gauge something like that until you get on the field,” Rhoads said. “You recruit speed first and foremost, then you develop it.” The Sooners are one of the

most explosive teams in the country, with running back Demarco Murray and receiver Ryan Broyles ranking near the top of the Big 12 in yardage at their positions. Broyles even leads the nation in receptions per game and has 25 career touchdowns in just his junior season. “You have guys in the gap where they’re supposed to be, and guys taking care of the up-field shoulder. There’s time where you can’t bleed slowly like we did with some intermediate throws, you’ve got to take risks,” Rhoads said. “We’ve done that on previous weeks, and some of the deep balls on Saturday night, we did not do that.” Giving up 106 points and 1,101 yards in the past two weeks, the Cyclones are struggling with spread out attacks, and Oklahoma is yet another spread offense team with plenty of speed on the edges. Sooner quarterback Landry Jones is 11th in the nation in passing yards per game. Capello’s playing time Redshirt freshman quarterback James Capello was trotted out for some clean-up action against Utah on Saturday, and despite not throwing a pass, led the Cyclones down the field. Capello capped the drive with a 19-yard touchdown run, a positive ending to an otherwise destructive second half for Iowa State. “I thought it brought a lot of confidence to me. I know it wasn’t the first string, but they’re still the No. 10 team in America,” Capello said. In a town more famous for its bologna than its football, the Lebanon, Pa., native was the Pennsylvania AAA-level Player of the Year as a senior, and the Utah game was the second time he’s seen the field for the Cyclones. Sitting in the depth chart behind Arnaud and Jerome Tiller, Capello will have to be patient for now, but is learning in the film room and on the practice field from the starter Arnaud. “I learn a lot from Austen, he’s a really smart quarterback. I watch what he does, and in the film room I see what his thoughts are. Basically, he’s what I look to, to learn this offense,” Capello said.

Injunction

‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ suspended Ruling will discontinue, pending discharges By Julie Watson The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — A federal judge issued a worldwide injunction Tuesday immediately stopping enforcement of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tellâ€? policy, suspending the 17-year-old ban on openly gay U.S. troops. U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips’ landmark ruling also ordered the government to suspend and discontinue all pending discharge proceedings and investigations under the policy. U.S. Department of Justice attorneys have 60 days to appeal. Pentagon and Department of Justice officials said they are reviewing the case and had no immediate comment. The injunction goes into effect immediately, said Dan Woods, the attorney who represented the Log Cabin Republicans, the gay rights group that ďŹ led the lawsuit in 2004 to stop the ban’s enforcement. “Don’t ask, don’t tell, as of today at least, is done, and the government is going to have to do something now to resurrect it,â€? Woods said.

“This is an extremely signiďŹ cant, historic decision. Once and for all, this failed policy is stopped. Fortunately now we hope all Americans who wish to serve their country can.â€? Legal experts say the Obama administration is under no legal obligation to appeal and could let Phillips’ ruling stand.

“This order from Judge Phillips is another historic and courageous step in the right direction, a step that Congress has been noticeably slow in taking,� said Alexander Nicholson, executive director of Servicemembers United, the nation’s largest organization of gay and lesbian troops and veterans.

Rape

Father states case at incest trial By Samantha Henry The Associated Press PATERSON, N.J. — A New Jersey man accused of raping ďŹ ve of his daughters and getting three of them pregnant denied Tuesday that he had ever harmed anyone in his family and spoke about what he said was his extensive research and reading on every aspect of child rearing. The man, who was arrested in 2006 and ruled competent to stand trial this year, has pleaded not guilty to 27

charges including sexual assault, lewdness, child endangerment and criminal sexual contact. “I was the papa hen, I was the one who was protective of the kids,â€? the man said, testifying for a second day in his own defense at his trial on sexual assault charges. He is accused of raping ďŹ ve of his daughters and impregnating three. They are believed to have given birth to a total of six of his children. The ďŹ rst of ďŹ ve trials — one for each child he’s accused of

victimizing — is taking place in Paterson, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) west of New York City. The daughter at the center of this case says she bore her father a child. She testiďŹ ed earlier that he spoke often of being a prophet sent by God to change the world and that he told her she had to be his sex slave in order to ensure he kept bloodlines pure. The woman, now 24, testiďŹ ed that her father began severely beating her when she was a toddler, then touching

her sexually at age 8, forcing her into regular intercourse by the time she was 12 and impregnating her shortly after she began menstruating. The man’s former wife testiďŹ ed that he frequently beat her and their children, spoke of being a god and having apocalyptic visions and insisted that most of their 9 children be born at home. She said he forbade them from visiting doctors or enrolling in school and restricted their diets. The man is scheduled to resume testifying Wednesday.

Mormon church chides members about cruelty toward homosexuals SALT LAKE CITY — The Mormon Church chided its members Tuesday to consider whether their attitudes toward all people — including gays — followed Christian principles, responding to activists’ demand that a church leader withdraw anti-gay statements. The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay civil rights organization, delivered a petition letter carrying 150,000 signatures to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ headquarters, asking leader Boyd K. Packer to retract his statements in an Oct. 3 sermon that same-sex relationships are unnatural and can be overcome. Packer, 86, is the second-highest ranking Mormon church leader and the next in line for the presidency of the 13.5 millionmember faith. Activists said such rhetoric is harmful, factually inaccurate and can result in the kind of bullying that leads some lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth to attempt suicide. At least four gay teens killed themselves last month across the country after reportedly experiencing anti-gay bullying and harassment. In an official church statement about an hour after the activists delivered their petition, spokesman Michael Otterson called those deaths tragic. “We join our voice with others in unreserved condemnation of acts of cruelty, or attempts to belittle or mock any group or individual that is different — whether those difference arise from race, religion, mental challenge, social status, sexual orientation, or for any other reason,� Otterson said. “Such actions simply have no place in our society.�

Study: Legalizing marijuana won’t greatly affect Mexican drug trafďŹ cking SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Mexico’s drug traffickers are likely to lose customers in America’s largest pot consuming state if California legalizes marijuana, but they won’t lose much money overall because California’s residents already prefer to grow their own, according to a study released Tuesday. That means the proposal on the state’s November ballot to legalize marijuana also will do little to quell the drug gangs’ violent and sophisticated organizations that generate billions of dollars a year, according to the study by the nonpartisan RAND Drug Policy Research Center. Californians, who make up one-seventh of the U.S. marijuana market, already are farming marijuana at a much higher rate than in neighboring states and tend to buy domestic rather than smuggled marijuana, the study found. “We’re already growing our own in California, and what happens in California so goeth the nation,â€? said Valerie Corral, who helped found and runs a Santa Cruz medical marijuana collective. “Legalizing marijuana might undercut Mexican marijuana sales, but it isn’t about to derail the cartels. It will just shift their focus.â€? California voters will decide next month whether to legalize and tax their own recreational use of marijuana. The measure is closely watched in Mexico, where more than 28,000 people have died in drug violence since Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon launched his crackdown on organized crime in late 2006.

>>SUSTAINABILITY.p1 nents are interconnected and we need to pay attention to all three of those whenever we talk about sustainable agriculture,” Munkvold said. Vilsack suggested another component to sustainability — water. Farmers need to be aware of water availability, both for the present and the future. “I think we’re going to be challenged to be able to grow more with less water,” Vilsack said. “We need to figure out how to use water more effectively.” With an ever-increasing world population, farmers face the challenge of producing enough food to feed the increasing populations. At the same time, farmers must implement practices on their farms that will preserve resources. “Over the century, farmers have learned to strike a balance between the preservation of the natural environment and the increasing need to feed the world,” said Denise Dewar, executive director of CropLife International. To further this balance in the coming years, farmers need to take advantage of all the resources available to them. “This is not about picking one vision for agriculture over

another,” Vilsack said. “We must work to ensure that all types of agricultural production can coexist as we confront the dual challenges of feeding the world while maintaining biodiversity. We must utilize all of the appropriate tools in our tool box.” Pam Johnson, corn and soybean farmer from central Iowa and panelist, said farmers from around the world are ready to provide the world with the food and resources it needs. “We are ready to step up to help provide that food and energy that the world needs and that growing populations need and we are ready to do it in a sustainable manner,” Johnson said. Vilsack closed the session by addressing the students and young audience members who are the future of agriculture. “You have the capacity to change the world, to save lives, to make a significant mark,” Vilsack said. “I hope that you’re challenged, that you’re passionate, that you’re engaged and enthusiastic about this life because you literally can change the world. There aren’t too many occupations or callings where that is a real possibility, but agriculture is one of them, so I strongly encourage you to stay connected and stay active.”

>>INSURANCE.p1

Health care summarized:

something that will ultimately benefit all students,” Hendricks said. Mandating that everyone attending the university is insured means faster and better care for students. Adequate coverage enables proper diagnosis, because with limited resources or money comes limited help, Hendricks said. The reform is not just about saving money; there are new regulations for health care providers as well. “The intent is for excellent health care for all consumers, the regulations will drive efficiencies within medical centers by making everything standard,” Hendricks said. Standardizing medical processes means less confusion from one care provider to another, making the health system more efficient. While students may feel detached from such issues, the fact is it ultimately affects them and the more knowledge they have the better off they will be.

Insurers can’t: Deny coverage to kids with pre-existing conditions Put lifetime limits on benefits Cancel your policy without proving fraud Deny claims without a chance for appeal

Consumers can: Receive cost-free preventive services Keep young adults on a parent’s plan until age 26 Choose a primary care doctor, ob/gyn and pediatrician Use the nearest emergency room without penalty

Los Angeles

Calif. porn actor found HIV-positive The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — A porn actor has tested positive for HIV at a California clinic, resulting in efforts to track down all partners who may have been exposed so they can be tested. The actor was a patient of the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, a San Fernando Valley clinic that caters to actors in the multibillion-dollar adult entertainment industry. The actor’s identity and gender have not been released. Clinic spokeswoman Jennifer Miller told the Los Angeles Times that efforts are under way to notify individuals who may have had sexual contact

>>CORNERSTONE.p1 churches, from intervening in elections in support of or opposition to any candidate. Rob Boston of the nonpartisan Americans United group, said any nonprofit organization is allowed to talk about issues, but not call for a vote for or against a candidate or judge. “What some of these pastors are asking for, really, is they want all of the benefits that come with tax exemption but none of the regulations that come with; that’s just unrealistic,” Boston said. “Tax exemption is an incredible benefit. And it’s not surprising that the government chooses to put restrictions on it.” Boston said one of the pastors who Gordon sent letters to contacted Americans United in concern. “We’ve been looking at this issue for a long time and we are even-handed,” Boston said. “We do recognize this goes on in churches that lean to the left and churches that lean to the right.” Last week, Americans United wrote the IRS to complain about a New York church which endorsed Democrat Andrew Cuomo. Although Gordon and his supporters criticize the group as a being liberal.

with the actor. Miller did not return calls or e-mail from The Associated Press on Tuesday. Los Angeles County public health officials and state occupational health officials have said the widespread lack of condom use on porn sets puts performers at risk for contracting HIV and other diseases. Major adult film producers, including Hustler’s Larry Flynt, have spoken out against the use of condoms in porn because viewers find them to be a turnoff. Last year, a woman tested positive for HIV immediately after making an adult film, and in 2004, an HIV outbreak affecting several actors spread panic in

Gordon admitted Oct. 5 in a WHO-AM radio interview he’s often spoken about the retention of the Iowa justices during his sermons. “We’ve been preaching our convictions, we’ll continue to preach our convictions, we don’t really, frankly, care what the federal government thinks about it,” Gordon said. In an e-mail correspondence with the Iowa State Daily, Gordon claimed nearly 200 churches are joining his effort. “Iowa’s activist judges are little more than a bellwether of a greater malevolence to come,” Gordon said to the Daily. “I will not sit back and allow such groups to use activist courts as their tool for unnatural social re-engineering.” The justices face a retention vote on the November ballot and were part of a unanimous 2009 ruling declaring a ban on same-sex marriage against Iowa’s constitution. In Varnum v. Brien, the court overturned Iowa’s Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law in 1998 by then governor and now current Republican nominee for governor, Terry Branstad. “Gay activism, at home and abroad, continually demonstrates a zero tolerance policy with regard to religious liberties,” Gordon

the industry and briefly shut down productions at several California studios. Porn actors are required by law to test negative for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases within 30 days of going to work on a film. State workplace safety officials at Cal/OSHA are considering strengthening rules designed to prevent transmission of disease through bodily fluids to specify the use of condoms in the adult entertainment industry. Currently, the same laws that call on health care professionals to wear gloves and other protective barriers when dealing with patients applies to the adult film business, but the laws don’t make specific provisions for porn.

said. “Indeed, the radical gay agenda, an agenda that is considered disagreeable by many gays, is incompatible with religious freedom around the world.” A new organization, Iowa For Freedom, led by Sioux City business-man and Republican politician Bob Vander Plaats, is campaigning to oust the justices. Vander Plaats defended the Cornerstone Church and Gordon’s in an interview on WHO-AM radio Tuesday, and went on to accuse the government of trying to control speech through the IRS. “[Gordon] is a man of God who speaks the truth,” Vander Plaats said, adding that the federal government has the attitude, “‘We can control you with our tax exemption.’ They will try to control what they say from behind the pulpits as well.” Vander Plaats also said he would likely continue to campaign against the rest of the justices when they come up for retention and suggested the next Iowa governor should change how they select justices, while also saying twice that Gov. Chet Culver “washed his hands like Pontius Pilate” when he refused to challenge the Iowa court decision. He said he thought his effort, if successful, would give

hope to people in Arizona and California “who are struggling with their own courts,” and said the actions by the Iowa Supreme Court could lead to them taking away property or Second Amendment rights. In a blog post Oct. 3, Gordon suggested there is a strong probability the justices on Iowa’s Supreme Court do not believe in a God. “I don’t think I have ever seen a more outrageous effort to politicize churches,” said Rev. Barry Lynn, Americans United executive director. “This deplorable scheme seeks to turn houses of worship into dens of inequity and intolerance.” Gordon’s church also participated in Pulpit Freedom Sunday in September, a national effort organized by the Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative group, aimed at convincing pastors to endorse political candidates from the pulpit in violation of the current tax code. Boston said there has been an upswing in churches violating the law in this fashion. He said he is not sure, internally, how the IRS is handling Americans United’s request at this point, but said there are prior cases where churches have lost their tax exempt status, been fined or warned for violations.
