Student death

Satellite voting faces scrutiny By Kaleb.Warnock iowastatedaily.com Cornerstone Church is under scrutiny because of its decision to hold satellite-based polling during Sunday worship services this weekend. Early voting for the Nov. 2 general election will be held via satellite polling stations in eight locations in Ames, including five churches. Although churches are frequently locations for voting, this year’s election is creating controversy because two of the polling stations will be open during the regular church service. Polls will be open at Cornerstone Church this Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., while there will concurrently be worship services at 9 and 11 a.m. This location is one of five churches selected by Story County Auditor Mary Mosiman, after a petition requesting satellite polling stations was submitted to the Story County

Vander Plaats clashes with justices By Tyler.Kingkade iowastatedaily.com WEST DES MOINES — Bob Vander Plaats, head of Iowa For Freedom, said Tuesday the Iowa Supreme Court discriminated against polygamists or people who wish to “marry their child” in their opinion in Varnum v. Brien — the case which overturned a ban on same-sex marriage in Iowa. Vander Plaats, head of Iowa For Freedom, went headto-head with former Iowa Supreme Court Justices Mark McCormick and Robert Allbee in a forum in West Des Moines discussing the retention vote co-hosted by Simpson College and the Iowa Independent. “If it’s about civil rights, why stop there?” Vander Plaats

Friend shares Kruger’s interests, life story By Kaitlin.York iowastatedaily.com The late-night drives to McDonald’s and Walmart won’t be the same for John Maust without his best friend and roommate Sam Kruger. Kruger, sophomore in engineering, was killed Oct. 8 in an automobile collision in O’Brien County. He was headed northbound on Highway 59 when he crossed the center line and was struck by a semi truck traveling in the opposite direction. Kruger was pronounced dead at the scene. “His best friend from home came into my dorm room and told me that Sam didn’t make it home,” said Maust, freshman in mechanical engineering. “I didn’t take it seriously at first — I was silent and he didn’t say anything, and that’s when I knew that I just lost my best friend.” Kruger and Maust met their freshman year when roommates were assigned.

Race to the Top

Legislation assesses teacher performance in education system By Molly.Halferty iowastatedaily.com The Race to the Top legislation was passed in January 2010 as a way to reform the educational system of states as a section of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — and affects ISU students preparing for future teaching jobs. This bill creates a competitive reward system for states, providing grants to states that meet a set of requirements and get a certain score on their checklist for grading created by the federal government. This list of requirements includes data systems to support instruction, great teachers and standards and assessments. The grants are given out in two phases: one that is applied for in January and rewarded in April and one that is applied for in June and rewarded in August. The state of Iowa applied for both phases. Iowa did not get

When you rid your life of everything that annoys you, you might just be denying yourself money, too — at least that was what David Sly was told in his college years. Sly, professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, took this message to heart and began his first business while he was a graduate student in industrial engineering at Iowa State. Now Sly has created six different businesses, and has sold two of them for millions. Sly began his first high-paying job when he was just 20 years old and still enrolled at Iowa State. “I made three bucks an hour working at TGNY, and I was offered $7.50 as a computer monitor [at Iowa State],” Sly said. “I always had a job; my parents didn’t have money.” In addition to his 20 hours working as a computer monitor, Sly picked up other PCrelated jobs in addition to class. “To be completely honest with you it was luck,” Sly said.

People called asking if they had anyone who knew anything about PCs, and fortunately Sly did. He agreed to go help callers with their PC problems.

At first charging about $10 an hour, Sly eventually raised the price for his valuable skills and time to $100 an hour. By his senior year of college, he was making approximately

Gaming panel will reconsider decision on casino construction By Timberly. Ross The Associated Press

Company plans expansion By Melanie S. Welte The Associated Press DES MOINES — Kemin Industries Inc., which makes nutritional ingredients, announced a $30 million expansion Tuesday that will add about 100 jobs at its headquarters in Des Moines. The ďŹ ve-year expansion includes six new manufacturing buildings, three new research facilities and a new corporate headquarters at its campus on the city’s southeast side. The project is to begin later this year and be completed in 2014. The new jobs will be in research and development, ďŹ nance, marketing and manufacturing. “It’s my goal to have one of our mol-

ecules in your body by the end of the day,â€? said President and Chief Executive Officer Chris Nelson. “To do that we have to manufacture products here in Des Moines and at our other manufacturing sites that are able to add value and nutritional content to human foods as well as animal foods throughout the world.â€? The expansion is critical to that goal, Nelson said. The private, family owned company is also evaluating opportunities in Brazil, Russia, India and China. Kemin, which has about 320 employees in Des Moines, makes about 500 ingredients with nutritional and health beneďŹ ts that it sells to about 400 companies around the world, which make food,

pet food and pharmaceuticals. Nelson said Kemin isolated the molecule for the antioxidant lutein from marigold owers. Research has suggested lutein has a role in eye health and reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss. The Des Moines project will be built primarily on city-owned land, with the expansion along a new expressway stretching from near downtown to southern Des Moines. Nelson said the company was out of space in Des Moines but decided to stay, in part because of a research and development tax credit approved by the Legislature.

Cedar Rapids

Sorters sift through garbage The Associated Press CEDAR RAPIDS — Trash sorters are going through the garbage from a Cedar Rapids landďŹ ll with hopes of helping local officials come up with a recycling report card for Linn County. The expert team was hired by the Cedar Rapids-Linn County Solid Waste Agency and is analyzing everything that goes into a landďŹ ll north of Marion. The Gazette reports that one of every nine

garbage trucks will dump its trash in a special location to be sorted. The sorting will last through Friday with a detailed report due in about four weeks. The waste agency will pay $40,000 for the work. Every banana peel and piece of waste paper will be sorted by hand, weighed and analyzed, the newspaper reports. “It’s valuable,� said Joe Horaney, the agency’s communications director.

“We’re really getting a chance to see what people are throwing away — and that helps us do our job.â€? LandďŹ ll operators are looking to ďŹ nd out is how many items could get recycled but end up in the trash. With that knowledge the agency can target recyclable items to be separated. About 200,000 tons of trash gets buried at the landďŹ ll every year. The sorters divide the trash into categories like plastic, paper, glass and wood.

-PST 7HULS +PZJ\ZZPVU Crossing Arizona is an in-depth look at the divisiveness that occurs when immigration and border policy fails everyone. Heightened security in California and Texas has pushed the number of illegal border-crossers into the Arizona desert to an estimated 4,500 a day. Most are men in search of work, but increasingly they are women and children seeking to reunite with their families. Crossing Arizona examines this crisis through the eyes of those directly affected, including ranchers who own the land, humanitarian groups attempting to save lives, farmers who depend on the illegal work force, political activists, and armed citizen patrols.

Moose sighted wandering in NW Iowa, DNR reminds they are illegal to hunt SIBLEY — Iowa wildlife experts say residents in the northwestern part of the state have been seeing a moose wandering the countryside. Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources say the latest sightings were last week near Sibley in Osceola County and near Langdon in Clay County on Monday. The sightings have prompted wildlife experts to warn Iowans that moose are a protected species and illegal to hunt. Department wildlife bureau chief Dale Garner says the animal is likely a young male bull that has wandered south from Minnesota. Garner also warns motorists to be on the look out for the moose because the animal is dark colored and “tough to spot.â€? Garner says a wandering moose is usually seen in Iowa every three to ďŹ ve years.

Iowa medical examiner identiďŹ es skeletal remains as 26-year-old man FREMONT — The Iowa State Medical Examiner has determined skeletal remains that a farmer found in a Mahaska County farm ďŹ eld in southern Iowa belong to a man from Fremont. State authorities said Tuesday that the remains are Jacob Allen Reeves. They say autopsy results are still pending but investigators don’t suspect foul play. Reeves’ father, Steve Reeves, previously said the remains were identiďŹ ed as his 26-year-old son, who hadn’t been seen since October 2008. Steve Reeves says his son suffered from schizophrenia and hanged himself from a tree near a cornďŹ eld located in Mahaska County. Authorities say the case remains under investigation. A farmer found the remains on Oct. 2.

LINCOLN, Neb. — A federal court must order the National Indian Gaming Commission to reconsider whether the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska can build a casino in Iowa, taking into account a 2003 agreement that the land would be used for non-gaming purposes, an appeals court ruled Tuesday. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a federal judge was wrong to throw out the commission’s December 2007 decision that would have allowed the casino. Instead, the appeals court said, the judge should have ordered the commission to revisit the issue, taking into consideration a 2003 agreement between Iowa and the Bureau of Indian Affairs that said the land would not be used for gambling. Wyn Hornbuckle, a U.S.

Department of Justice spokesman, applauded the decision. “We believe the court reached the right result,â€? Hornbuckle said. “The matter will now go back to the National Indian Gaming Commission for it to reconsider whether gaming can occur on the Carter Lake parcel.â€? Messages left Tuesday for attorneys for Nebraska’s Ponca tribe weren’t immediately returned. The Ponca Tribe bought the 5-acre Carter Lake site in Iowa in 1999, and the tribe deeded it to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in trust for nongaming purposes in February 2003. The tribe originally told Iowa officials that the land would be used for a health center. The commission said in court ďŹ lings that it didn’t consider the 2003 agreement when it approved development of the site.

DADT

Recruiters told to accept gay applicants By Anne Flaherty and Julie Watson The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — The military is accepting openly gay recruits for the ďŹ rst time in the nation’s history, even as it tries in the courts to slow the movement to abolish its “don’t ask, don’t tellâ€? policy. Some gay activist groups were planning to send people to enlist at recruiting stations to test the Pentagon’s Tuesday announcement. Meanwhile, a federal judge in California whose ruling last week brought the 17-year policy the closest yet to being overturned was likely to reject the government’s latest effort to halt her order telling the military to

stop enforcing the law. The Justice Department will likely appeal her decision. The Defense Department has said it would comply with U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips’ order and had frozen any discharge cases. But at least one case was reported of a man being turned away from an Army recruiting office in Austin, Texas. Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said recruiters had been given top-level guidance to accept applicants who say they are gay. Recruiters also have been told to inform potential recruits that the moratorium on enforcement of the policy could be reversed at any time, if the ruling is appealed or the court

Massachusetts

grants a stay, she said. While activists were going to enlist, gay rights groups were continuing to tell service members to avoid revealing that they are gay, fearing they could ďŹ nd themselves in trouble should the law be reinstated. “What people aren’t really getting is that the discretion and caution that gay troops are showing now is exactly the same standard of conduct that they will adhere to when the ban is lifted permanently,â€? said Aaron Belkin, executive director of the Palm Center, a think tank on gays and the military at the University of California Santa Barbara. The uncertain status of the law has caused much confusion within an institution that has historically dis-

criminated against gays. Before the 1993 law, the military banned gays entirely and declared them incompatible with military service. Twenty-nine nations, including Israel, Canada, Germany and Sweden, allow openly gay troops, according to the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay rights group and plaintiff in the lawsuit before Phillips. The Pentagon guidance to recruiters comes after Dan Woods, the group’s attorney, sent a letter last week warning the Justice Department that Army recruiters who turned away Omar Lopez in Texas may have caused the government to violate Phillips’ injunction. Woods wrote that the military could be subject to a citation for

contempt. Douglas Smith, spokesman for U.S. Army Recruiting Command based at Fort Knox, Ky., said even before the ruling recruiters did not ask applicants about their sexual orientation. The difference now is that recruiters will process those who say they are gay. “If they were to self-admit that they are gay and want to enlist, we will process them for enlistment, but will tell them that the legal situation could change,� Smith said. He said the enlistment process takes time and recruiters have been told to inform those who are openly gay that they could be declared ineligible if the law is upheld on appeal.

Beef market

Groups challenge Farmers struggle to raise beef obscenity law Poor U.S. market By Denise Lavoie The Associated Press BOSTON — A coalition of Internet content providers and free-speech advocates told a federal judge Tuesday that a new Massachusetts law aimed at protecting children from online sexual predators effectively bans anything that may be considered “harmful to minors,� including material adults have the right to view. Supporters say the new law closes a loophole that led the state’s highest court to overturn the conviction of a man accused of sending sexually explicit instant messages to someone he believed was a 13-year-old girl. The Supreme Judicial Court found that the old state law that imposes criminal penalties for disseminating material harmful to minors

did not cover electronic communications. The new law was passed quickly by the state Legislature after the high court’s ruling in February. It added instant messages, text messages, e-mail and other electronic communications. Penalties include to up to ďŹ ve years in prison or a ďŹ ne of as much as $10,000 for a ďŹ rst offense. The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, the Association of American Publishers, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and others ďŹ led a federal lawsuit in July challenging the new law. On Tuesday, the groups asked U.S. District Judge Rya Zobel to issue a preliminary injunction barring the state from enforcing the law as it applies to broad-based Internet communications.

could mean lower quality product By Christopher Leonard The Associated Press

AINSWORTH, Neb. — In this ranching town, cowboys still lasso steers as part of their daily routine and cattle producers like Bob Sears still take pride in the long tradition of raising American beef. But Sears and many other ranchers say the market for domestic meat has withered to the point where they often receive only a single reasonable bid for their animals — a trend that could eventually mean lesser-quality meat across the United States. The struggle to get a competitive price, they say, is helping to push thousands of producers out of busi-

Study shows checklist saves lives

Georgia

Feds settle with state over civil rights case By Greg Bluestein The Associated Press ATLANTA — The Justice Department reached a settlement Tuesday with the state of Georgia in a longrunning case targeting what critics call the unlawful segregation of residents with mental illness and developmental disabilities in staterun psychiatric hospitals. In a compromise that ofďŹ cials said could affect other states, Georgia agreed to stop admitting people with developmental disabilities to state hospitals by July 2011 and transfer all those already in the hospitals to community settings by July 2015. The state also agreed to offer a range of services to 9,000 people with serious mental illnesses so they can be served in community settings instead of hospitals. “The landmark settle-

ment with the state of Georgia will allow thousands of people with disabilities to receive services to live in their communities rather than in institutions,� said U.S. Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez. In return, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue said the state avoided a direct federal takeover of its mental health and developmental disabilities services and was able to preserve “Georgia’s ability to make decisions on how best to serve Georgians.� “I have always said the state needed to provide better services to our most vulnerable citizens, and the Department of Justice has played a helpful role in spurring change in Georgia,� he said. Georgia became a focal point for the rights of people with disabilities in a 1999 U.S. Supreme Court case.

By Lindsey Tanner The Associated Press CHICAGO — Which hip is being repaired? Is this the right anesthesia? Do we have all the right surgery tools? Answering such basic questions from surgery checklists — and involving everyone as a team, even patients — saved lives in Veterans Affairs hospitals, according to one of the most rigorous studies of patient safety in the operating room. Surgery deaths dropped 18 percent on average over three years in the 74 VA hospitals that used the strategy during the study. Surgery team members all created checklists and discussed them in brieďŹ ngs before, during and after surgery. That’s a somewhat novel concept in a setting where the surgeon has traditionally called all the shots. The study found that death rates were lowest where surgical staff had the most teamwork training. Dr. Peter Pronovost, a Johns Hopkins professor and author of a book on using

checklists in medicine, called the VA results impressive. “Teamwork problems are ubiquitous in health care but in operating rooms, they’re so problematic because ORs are so hierarchical. They’re full of ritual and for so many years it’s been the surgeon (who) dictates,� Pronovost said. The VA’s program began in 2003 and over time has been adopted at virtually all of its 130 surgery centers. Before se-

dation, patients identify themselves and the reason for their surgery, hear the checklists being read off, and can speak up if something doesn’t sound right. The idea is to give everyone in the operating room an equal voice in helping ensure patient safety. That is not standard procedure. “I’ve heard surgeons say to nurses, ‘Do you have an MD after your name? I didn’t think

so. So when you get one, I’ll listen to you but until then, shut up,’� said the study’s senior author Dr. James Bagian, former VA patient safety director. He and his colleagues analyzed three years of data, from 2006-08, at 74 hospitals trained in the patient safety methods, compared with 34 similar centers where the program hadn’t been implemented. The study included almost 200,000 surgeries.

Editorial

Multiculturalism must thrive, for humanity’s sake If you haven’t heard enough about immigration in the United States, we thought we’d bring light to the fact that ours is not the only country that just isn’t quite sure what to do. In Germany this weekend, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced to a gathering of young members of her conservative political party, the Christian Democratic Union, that attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany have “utterly failed.” She went on to explain that in the 1960s, the country encouraged foreign workers to come to Germany — and “now they live in our country.” Imagine that. “We kidded ourselves a while. We said, ‘They won’t stay, sometime they will be gone,’ but this isn’t reality,” Merkel said. Merkel clarified that immigrants are, in fact, welcome in Germany — but said they must do more to adapt to society, such as learning to speak German and adopting German cultural norms. A story from the Huffington Post explained that these comments come from a rising anti-immigration sentiment in Europe, which is partially related to fears of “homegrown terrorism.” Certainly, terrorism is a valid concern. However, we can assume Germany hopes to maintain the economic benefits of immigration. “Germany needs more qualified immigration to maintain its economic advantage and deal with the demographic developments,” said Volker Beck, a lawmaker with the opposing Greens party. It would be wise for Germany to maintain a more encouraging attitude toward immigration if it hopes to reap any benefits from it, at all. To ask immigrants to make efforts to learn the language is not unreasonable. To make such sweeping generalizations as “the multicultural approach … has failed” is not only necessary — it’s completely irresponsible. If Chancellor Merkel needs a refresher course on how to act as a good hostess, she might pay a visit to the United States’ Statue of Liberty, where she’d learn a little something like this Emma Lazarus sonnet: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.” Has multiculturalism failed in Germany? We doubt it; they probably just haven’t given it a fair chance. But what about in the United States? We’re proud of the words inextricably tied with our Lady Liberty, and thankful for the many contributions — economic, cultural and otherwise — immigrants make in the United States. We applaud the City of Ames for its “FACES of Ames” event that took place last weekend, with the goal of encouraging diversity within Ames and offering opportunities for residents to connect with each other as well as with local businesses. We applaud Iowa State University’s department of multicultural student affairs for furthering efforts to “develop a sense of community between students, staff, and faculty of color on the Iowa State University campus.” And for Chancellor Merkel, our message is simple: Multiculturalism must thrive, for the good of all nations and for all humanity.

History

Christopher Columbus takes possession of the new country as portrayed in this 1893 painting by L. Prang & Co. The point of the holiday is to celebrate the discovery of the Americas, not to celebrate Columbus himself. Courtesy photo: Library of Congress

Celebrate exploration

By Michael.Belding iowastatedaily.com

Point of Columbus Day is not to glorify the man but, rather, his discovery

L

ast Monday I learned two things. First, I learned that Columbus Day was upon us. Second, I learned that certain people were upset about our celebrations, such as they exist, of that holiday. I’m sure you all know the old adage that goes, “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Indeed, he did. The three ships he led across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain were the first voyage to the American continent. In all, Columbus made four voyages to the Americas. And yes, he and the conquistadors who followed on voyages and expeditions of their own did conquer, enslave and generally destroy the native populations. They did so to enrich primarily the Spanish, and later, the French and English governments. Enormous amounts of gold and silver bullion, as well as valuable spices and commodities, were imported into Europe. Yet for all the horrible, awful treatment of the American natives, we celebrate Columbus’ landfall. We do so not because we revel in genocide or ethnic cleansing, but because we respect links to our past that have defined us. The voyages of Columbus and others

conclusively proved that there existed an enormous, previously undiscovered continent stretching nearly the whole height of the globe in between Europe and Asia. It is true that some Viking settlements dating to centuries before Columbus have been found in what is now Canada, but they were short-lived and hardly linked with Europe at-large during their existence. No lasting towns, institutions or economic practices stem from those Viking settlements. We celebrate Columbus because of the journey he made. Columbus Day is celebrated not on Columbus’ birthday, but on the date he landed in the Americas. We celebrate not the man, but an event that opened the gates to vast immigration, trade and political forces on the old monarchies of Europe. Such pressures eventually, however indirectly, led to the creation of the United States of America — truly the freest and wealthiest country in the world — and increases in freedom and liberty for those Europeans who remained on their side of the Atlantic. Much talk is made of changing textbooks to reflect not only the glorious accomplishments of dead, white, European men, but also the struggles of ordinary natives slaving away on plantations. I don’t quarrel with that desire. But there is only so much information that can be put into the textbooks that are used by elementary, middle and high school classes — and even college-level survey his-

tory courses. Personally, I have always encountered discussions of the treatment of American native populations and empires at the hands of European conquerors. If you pair already-extant information about such awful colonial practices with the large expense associated with writing, publishing and acquiring textbooks, it is possible to see a significant problem. You cannot simply go buy new textbooks for whole classes of grade-school students each time a new piece of information comes to light. New books are purchased when old copies are literally falling apart, or when they are so visibly out of date as to be generally useless. It is simply not practical to repeatedly buy new books. And with the advent of the Internet and online collections of journal and newspaper articles, why put so much emphasis on actual textbooks? The same newly published information is easily accessible. It is for teachers to take it upon themselves to educate their students and not cheat them of the truth. To the extent that I celebrate Columbus Day — it often passes unmarked in my life — I recall that Columbus’ voyage was one of spectacular risk and little chance of success. In 1492, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, it took a considerable amount of daring to set out from port. It is hugely impressive that he and his sailors would have undertaken such a feat.

Random thoughts

Everything you care about By RJ.Green iowastatedaily.com

From politics and aliens to Spencer Pratt If you’ve ever pondered the cost of your soul/dignity, DPS pays $13.88 an hour for Parking Enforcement. The aftertaste of every Millerbrand beer reminds me of licking a nine-volt battery. I admire a girl with morals and boundaries, but if you gave your word to stop at third, know this: That’s like flying to Orlando and not going to Disney World. The beach is nice, but everybody loves Mickey. The “Freebird” Campanile movement is in full swing. Yes. We. Can. Know what sucks more than WebCT? Paying $50 for the “Mastering” series of online homework. Greg Giraldo died? Really? Not Dane Cook? Not Carlos Mencia? Come on. If you consider yourself a “ger-

maphobe” or think you have a particularly high standard of cleanliness, allow me to dazzle you with microbiology: The number of bacteria hanging out in your body is an order of magnitude higher than the “you” cells in your body. What’s that about a five-second rule? I come from a day and age where you got beat up for having Pokemon cards. I remember those stupid Tamagotchi keychain “pets” that would die every three days because you didn’t feed it at 3 a.m. Why does the current GOP leadership advocate expanding the government, impinging upon civil liberties and thumping its Bible? I want my party back. The thing I’ll miss the most when I leave Ames? Thai Kitchen. If you’re one of my ex-girlfriends and you think every column I write is an opportunity to write a letter to the Daily telling everyone I’m a jerk, it’s not. Everybody already knows that. Newspaper columns don’t get you babes unless your name is Jason Arment. Especially

this one. I don’t understand why people think the rich should shoulder a higher tax burden than anyone else. Having things does not mean the government reserves the right to take more out of your pocketbook. Everybody should pay their fair share. The problem doesn’t lie with money, it lies with the system. Speaking of national debt, we might as well start calling that number “a bajillion” dollars. In 50 years, people will consider “Idiocracy” to be a documentary, and they’ll be absolutely right. I wish Iowa State took a more proactive approach to risk management. Then again, I wish everyone my age could call themselves “men” without being laughed at. You shouldn’t be surprised that life isn’t fair, nor should you think that will ever change. When did the campus sidewalks become a new medium for preaching? Someone had better knock that crap off before someone else with a newspaper column solicits vol-

unteers to advocate casual sex and binge drinking in pretty chalk pictures. Spencer Pratt makes me reconsider my position on government-subsidized involuntary sterilization. If aliens exist, they’re letting us live. The best tequila is clear, the best beer is opaque, margaritas aren’t supposed to be blended, and a man’s man drinks scotch. “Jackass 3D” will be every bit as awesome as it sounds. If you’re above enjoying such a thing and under the age of 50, you probably take yourself more seriously than other people do. Or you’re just a party pooper. Wouldn’t it be easier to declare Southwest Asia a free-fire zone, instead of going to war with each country individually? Speaking of rock ‘n’ roll, you should take Music 304 as an elective. It’s about the best three credits you’ll get. Love doesn’t exist, just an ongoing contest between two people trying desperately not to disappoint one another.

Society

Don’t always be happy with yourself By Thomas.Hummer iowastatedaily.com

Be smart about assessing your self worth

T

he ability to alter somebody’s self-esteem is a very powerful thing. In adolescence, peers can either build an impressionable youngster’s self-image to a healthy state or diminish it to the point of depression or suicide. While the latter extreme is what we hear about more often in the news, the opposite case is also quite common. Egotism runs rampant in our culture, and while I’ll always endorse egomania over suicide, it still doesn’t do anybody one bit of good. If you’ve read my columns before, you can probably anticipate this as the part where I propose that a healthy balance between the two extremes is the ideal goal. However, this is not the case. In fact, the big problem is the current middle ground of this spectrum. The way our culture has decided to deal with this issue is by using the idea of “always being happy with yourself” as an artificial average between “I’m going to kill myself” and “I’m the best.” This is a fallacy, however, as being happy with yourself has nothing to do with either of these extremes and has no place anywhere on the self-worth spectrum. What this phrase really does is encourage complacency and mediocrity, which is also dangerous as it essentially discourages motivation in today’s youth. For the narcissist, the phrase fails because it doesn’t put one’s abilities into a realistic perspective. It basically tells them that it’s OK to be arrogant. For the suicidal, depressed teen, it also fails because what is upsetting them could very well be something they have the power to change. Either way, they obviously aren’t happy with themselves, so telling them they

should be will only make things worse when what they probably need are some friendly words of more specific encouragement. But this phrase doesn’t necessarily have to relate to self-worth — it can also relate to performance or abilities. For example, imagine you’re the parent of a child who has been consistently struggling with math. Your child has no apparent learning disability, and at this point you have no reason to believe that your son or daughter isn’t capable of understanding the material. What are you going to do — foster your child’s learning and tutor them until they get it, or tell them it’s OK that they don’t get it and they should just be happy with who they are? Better yet, think of this situation from a child’s perspective. We’ve all been there, and before a certain age, most children would be more than willing to hear those words as exoneration from academic effort. After all, what kid wouldn’t take the parent-given opportunity to give up on something they don’t like? Another reason this cliche fails to carry any real-world meaning is because it lumps truly desirable traits in with those that are universally detested. The phrase could be twisted around to discourage children from persevering in school as much as it could be used to justify poor social skills or habits of violence. Do we really want to tell children who are torturing animals and bullying other kids that they should be happy with themselves? I’m sure that practically no parents are endorsing this kind of behavior, but I’m also sure that a lot of parents and other role models don’t fully appreciate how much kids hang on to their words. But the problem with my argument so far is that it hasn’t addressed characteristics that are beyond a person’s control. This could be any physical deformity, imperfection or even neutral traits including birthmarks, poor eyesight, hair color and

extreme shortness or tallness. Yes, it’s absolutely true that in life we have to accept these aspects and learn how to deal with them. However, this point shows exactly what is wrong with this phrase: It’s a vague generality. How are we supposed to properly apply such general advice to our lives? Which aspects of our lives should we be happy with? “Be happy with who you are” views people as one-dimensional

— the whole point of life is knowing yourself well enough to acknowledge what traits you should improve upon and which you can be content with. All of this should be common sense, and a lot of older teens and adults understand this difference. But we often forget that we’re teaching the next generation what common sense is, and planting such unclear, Hallmark-gift-card wisdom in their heads will only undermine

their spirit of aspiration and self-improvement. Therefore, the truly efficient middle ground of this spectrum is simple realism. We should all know what parts of our life we can control, and we shouldn’t be afraid to admit our faults and work on bettering them. I do know that if we all preach the message of just “being happy with ourselves,” the progress and spirit of our civilization will flatline.

I

don’t know about you, but this week sure seems like it would be a good week for a fall break. I kind of wish that our Thanksgiving fell around the same time as Canada’s, which was Oct. 11 this year. That way we could spread our breaks out a little more. You could even combine Thanksgiving with Halloween. Lots of food plus lots of sweets equals a great time. Or something like that. Who knows. It doesn’t matter anyway since this scenario will never happen. But it did get me thinking about a few opinion columns that have been written in recent weeks. They mainly talked about the idea that you should take a break. One advocated for you to skip classes and enjoy life. The other talked about taking a day every now and then to just do whatever you want. Take a break from the busyness of life. These point to an idea that has been around for thousands of years. A Sabbath rest. Whether you’re religious or not, the concept of a Sabbath rest is one worth considering. Basically, it’s the idea that you work for six days and you rest on the seventh. There are also applications in other areas like an extended rest as well as farming. There was a command in the Torah to farm the land for six years and let it rest during the seventh. My experience has proven that this is a good idea. For the first few years of college, I did what most of you probably do or have done. I might show up to classes during the week. Do some homework here and there. And life just kind of blurred together from the week into the weekend. Sure, I might’ve just watched football on Saturday for 12 hours in a row, and then watched another five or six hours on Sunday.

With that and my great ability to procrastinate I was often left stressed when I had projects. I’d be pulling all-nighters to just try and turn something in. In short, I wasn’t really good at managing my time. And I even took Psych 131 which teaches you study skills. It didn’t really help me out too much. Then I got convinced that I really needed to take a weekly day of rest. I picked Sunday because I have classes and work throughout the week. Plus it seemed better than Saturday because starting weeks working late into the night didn’t seem like a good idea. I also follow Jesus and historically, followers of Jesus have tended to Sabbath on Sundays so it made sense. The result is that it has forced me to get my work done in a timely manner because I knew I won’t be able to do it on Sunday. It’s also allowed me time to just relax, clean up around my apartment, read books other than class materials, and recharge for the upcoming week. Furthermore, it’s allowed me time to reflect on what I’m doing with my life. I had some life-changing experiences as an undergrad that has helped direct my future. Thankfully, they were at times when I had a lot of free time to reflect upon them — the summer. But often, if I don’t have time to think about what I’m doing and why, during busier times I just drift down the path of least resistance. Aimlessly wondering is pretty easy to do. As Yogi Berra once said, “You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.” So I think it’s important that you consider doing something like this in your own life. It’s certainly not easy, but I think you’ll find that it’s worth it. Plus, that way, you won’t have to skip classes in order to rest.

As the only exclusively fair trade store in Ames, Worldly Goods offers consumers a chance to shop and contribute directly to artisans’ incomes and lifestyles worldwide. Fair trade ensures that artisans are paid directly for their work, all of which is individually handmade. It empowers low-income artisans and farmers to take advantage of their natural resources and gives them an outlet to sell their product. This month is especially important for Worldly Goods, as October is Fair Trade Month. Fair Trade Month is an annual event that is designed to promote awareness of fair trade. Specifically, Worldly Goods participates by promoting a certain country every Thursday by offering a 15 percent discount on all goods from that country. They also provide refreshments from the country from 5 to 8 p.m. This year, they chose countries that have been affected by recent natural disasters. They have already featured Pakistan and Chile, and

they will feature Haiti on Thursday and India on Oct. 28. Products from Haiti include natural stone and products created from recycled tin. In the aftermath of Haiti’s massive earthquake, Worldly Goods sold heart-shaped stone paper weights and gave 100 percent of the profit back to the artisans, taking none for the store. After walking in, customers will notice a range of Haitian cut-metal designs prominently displayed on the wall. These cut-metal pieces are created from oil drums that have washed up onto the shores. The artists use hammer and chisel to create the artwork, which is unique and usually representative of nature. India is one of the most heavily represented countries in the store. Specific products from India include clothing, jewelry,

recycled bike chains, wrapping paper, gift bags and journals. The Indian journals redefine “eco-friendly,” using recycled cotton fibers for paper, rather than harming any trees. Rather than seeking animals to kill for the leather binding, genuine leather is derived from animals that died of natural causes. Many of the journals are refillable as well, so consumers can save money by purchasing paper refills rather than a brand new journal when their old one runs out. Worldly Goods offers consumers the chance to make smart shopping choices that have positive effects around the world. Based on the artisans’ need and what is available to them, as well as economic infrastructure, prices at Worldly Goods vary. They carry men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, accessories, home decor and several food products such as coffee, tea, chocolate and jam. The store is located along 223 Main St.

materials such as silk, sterling silver and brass. Sometimes she’ll even be able to use vintage metals that have never been used before. Axmear believes that using vintage one-of-a kind pieces “gives more room for creativity,” because there won’t be any other jewelry pieces like it out there. She is happy to be able to save items that many people would agree were outdated and useless and therefore send them to the landfill. In reality, though, these unique pieces still have a lot more life in them once Axmear gets her hands on them, another “encore” by being a part of her beautiful and stylish jewelry.

‘Recycle your blues’ with The Gap

Matt and Nat establish healthy indulgences BY KAITLYN RAY ISD STYLE WRITER

BY LINDSEY MARVIN ISD STYLE WRITER Local and global company Gap Inc. shows the world annual and permanent givebacks, and it is hosting a drive with a goal of helping people around the world. Currently Gap Inc. is holding a denim drive promoting customers to bring in old pairs of denim to be recycled through Wednesday to receive 30 percent off a new denim purchase. Gap pairs up with Cotton Inc. to recycle old denim into microfibers to become insulation for Habitat for Humanity houses in locations of recent natural disasters. This year is the second annual denim drive. Last year Gap and Cotton Inc. had more than 270,000 pairs of jeans donated. Gap also uses a more permanent approach at giving

Pharaoh handbag

Oversized and designed with the eco-conscious fashionista in mind, the Pharaoh bag is constructed of black vegan leather with antique brass hardware. This bag is practically a one-size-fits all — a tote for the plane, a bag for your books on campus or an oversized purse — this bag does it all.

Ashberry wallet

Also constructed of black vegan leather, the Ashberry is a wallet by day and a clutch by night. This versatile piece comes with a detachable wristlet. Antique brass adornments line the front flap, which makes the Ashberry a great combination with the Pharaoh handbag. Photo courtesy of Thinkstock

asked, in response to the justices declaring the Varnum case was about civil rights at its roots. The justices argued Vander Plaats’ campaign was an effort to make a court that is supposed to make the unpopular decisions more subservient to a “mob” that may vote them out in the next retention vote. “This isn’t about the mob, this is about we the people,” Vander Plaats said. He later said it was not simply about defending marriage, it was about defending liberty. “That’s why we’re named Iowa For Freedom, not Iowa For Marriage,” he said. Vander Plaats said the Varnum decision starts a slippery slope toward allowing the court to take away property and 2nd Amendment rights. The justices countered that Iowa’s high court is known for its impartiality and had a record of supporting property rights. They also noted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, typically a Republican supporting group, ranking Iowa’s judicial system as fourth and fifth in the nation in terms of fairness and impartiality. Attorney Nathan Tucker, who also joined the panel, rattled off a list of donors to campaigns formed to protect the three Iowa Supreme Court justices up for retention on Nov. 2, claiming they largely included registered Democrats, to which Allbee questioned where he got that information. “I don’t believe that’s a fact, I think that’s made up,” Allbee said. Tucker stayed silent through much of the 90-minute debate, but alleged the commission that nominates justices to the Iowa Supreme Court was full of registered Democrats, and said the system needed to be replaced by

Forum faceoff During one particularly contentious exchange, former Iowa Supreme Court justice Mark McCormick asked Bob Vander Plaats where Iowa For Freedom receives its money. Vander Plaats said anyone could view the disclosure reports showing their independent expenditures. Then members of the crowd began to chatter, and a few shouted “just answer the question.” Vander Plaats made it clear he did not want to discuss the money spent, which is already in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but pointed out the campaign is being run by Iowans. McCormick expressed his disapproval of out-of-state groups like the American Family Association or the National Organization for Marriage spending money on television campaigns in a state they are not located in, in part stating he had a problem with special interests organizing a well-funded campaign, aimed at intimidation. He asked Vander Plaats, “What do you expect to gain?” “I think one thing,” Vander Plaats said, “is what we hope to do is to send a message.” When McCormick pressed further on Iowa For Freedom’s relationship with the American Family Association, Vander Plaats admitted they were affiliated but said he met with the state ethics board and is completely following the law.

one similar to that at the federal level. McCormick contended that when he served on the commission to the court during the Branstad administration, he never knew the political affiliations of any other member on nor did he see any partisan behaviors. Allbee said a federal-level styled system would not work on a practical level because the legislative branch of Iowa only meets in the first few of ActivUs and senior in art and design. “We are focusing on the issues that exist here on campus and by doing so we are hoping that they will become issues on a larger platform.” The job market, budget cuts and use of nonrenewable resources on campus are some of the concerns of these groups, and they work one-onone with candidates to be informed.

months of the year, so gathering the Iowa Senate for consideration and a vote would be difficult. The panelists debated the outcome of Iowa For Freedom’s efforts, with the justices declaring it’s an attempt to intimidate justices in Iowa and elsewhere from making unpopular decisions, while Vander Plaats said it would show the people of Iowa they will hold judges accountable to the Constitution. Allbee took a shot at Vander Plaats, a failed three-time candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, “With tuition increases and also increases on interest loans, we try to get kids to pay attention to how it affects them. Like the 10 percent budget cut, how it trickles down into the education system,” Hunter said. The biggest goal of these groups for the 2010 campaigns is “to get the student vote out. There is a sense that somehow all of those young people

when he said the success of the campaign against retention “may be just another referendum on Mr. Vander Plaats — he’s had three already.” Vander Plaats was asked how he felt about the Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court in 2010, which overturned decades of precedent.

Another aspect of the location under debate is the fact that the church sermon could influence those attending the polls on that Sunday. Although the voting and the church service will be held concurrently, the polls will be taken elsewhere in the facilities, Mosiman said. “I want to assure people that satellite voting will be conducted with access to all residents of Story County ... If there is electioneering going on in the churches, they should not be doing anything that can affect the ballot,” Mosiman said.

This potential influence presents a problem when observing the polling laws section 21.300(8) line C which states: “No signs supporting or opposing any candidate or question on the ballot shall be posted within 300 feet of the satellite absentee voting station.

Ensuring equitable distribution of effective teachers and teaching principles is worth 25 points on the assessment, and encourages districts to pay based on merit and student performance. Two future teachers and education majors, Emily Bennett and Olivia Leacox, are in favor of implementing Race to the Top legislation policies across the state of Iowa. Bennett, freshman in elementary education, agrees with the bill. “I do not believe that education should be in total federal control,” she said. “I think that local control should definitely have control over education. I do agree that the state of Iowa should be on board with it because we could definitely use extra funding, and we meet the requirements of the federal government as well.” Leacox, sophomore in English, generally supports the legislation as well. “[Race to the Top] is a good idea for a source of motivation for Iowa school districts,” Leacox said.

His interviewer proceeded to tell him that his idea of a “stable job” wasn’t real and that he would be better off continuing his current work. Sly returned to school and earned his graduate degree in industrial engineering and then an MBA in business and a doctorate in industrial engineering. Throughout his years in school, Sly maintained the businesses he had started. Sly spoke to the ISU Entrepreneur Club about his life and the job market. “Jobs are more risky today than they’ve ever been. To go out and get a job, you might as well be an entrepreneur,” Sly said. Sly was invited to speak to the club by Judi Eyles, adviser of the Entrepreneur Club. “He’s a wonderful example for the students,” Eyles said. “As a student himself, he saw an opportunity and worked for it; it’s inspiring.” Sly continues his entrepreneurial work, as he recently created his latest endeavor, Mancave Estates, along with his co-worker Jeff Eichorn.

the requirements to hold the stations. All eight petitions were approved by the auditor’s office, and the specific times of the polls were decided by the locations. The auditor’s office had to comply with the decision on the poll times because they had no legitimate, logistic or otherwise, reasons to deny them the polls, Mosiman said. “If I deny them the right to hold it, then I have to answer to the petitioners. If I say that I can do it but I choose not to, that’s disenfranchising voters,” Mosiman said.

Bennett disagrees with teacher pay being based on merit. “Some students are just naturally challenged at taking standardized tests,” she said. “I don’t think the teacher is the full reason for why kids don’t do well on those tests, so I don’t think teacher’s pay should be determined by the outcome. “I do believe it would change the way teachers would teach. They would be determined to teach only what is included on the tests. Everything else would be pushed aside and if there was time then they learned it and if not, the kids just missed out.” Although they do not agree with every aspect of the bill, both agree that it should be implemented in the state of Iowa. “Whatever gives more money to the schools leads to some form of better education.” Leacox said. “It is a good idea that maybe needs some tweaking, but it might be beneficial for struggling states,”

Midseason grind continues for Cyclones with road match against Colorado Buffaloes By Travis.Cordes iowastatedaily.com Phillies second baseman Chase Utley catches a pop up in Game 3 against San Francisco. The Giants won to take a 2-1 lead in the NLCS. Photo: David J. Phillip/The Associated Press

Phillies bats quiet in Game 3 NLCS loss By Josh Dubow The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — This was just the situation the Philadelphia Phillies must have hoped for against Matt Cain. Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins stepping to the plate with runners in scoring position. Instead of delivering as they have so often against Cain in the regular season, Utley and Rollins had no such luck in Game 3 of the NL championship series Tuesday. With the rest of the Philadelphia hitters faring little better, the Phillies lost 3-0 to the San Francisco Giants to fall behind 2-1 in the series. “We had a few opportunities to score some runs and couldn’t capitalize on that, couldn’t get the big hit when we needed to,” Utley said. “We’re going to put this game behind us and focus on tomorrow.” It was the first time the Phillies were shut out in the postseason since Scott McGregor blanked them 5-0 in the clinching game of the 1983 World Series — a streak of 49 games of scoring at least once. The Phillies are batting just .203 this postseason, with just three home runs in the six games. “The pitching might have something to do with their swing,” said manager Charlie Manuel. “Our guys are trying. They might be trying too hard.” The Phillies had plenty of regular season success against Cain, scoring 21 runs in 26 innings against him in five regular-season starts. Philadelphia won four of those games but it was a completely different story on a sun-splashed afternoon when the shadows made life difficult for hitters. Utley and Rollins have had almost as much success as anyone against Cain in the regular season. Utley’s .467 average is tied for the fourth highest among players who have faced Cain at least 15 times. He also has three home runs in his 15 at-bats. Rollins has had similar success, going 6 for 10 with a homer, three triples and a double in his career against Cain. “We usually do a pretty good job off him,” Rollins said. “Today he had good stuff. It was more him. You have to take your hat off to him. He never gave in and he made pitches when he needed.” The two combined to go hitless in six at-bats against Cain in Game 3, leaving five runners stranded on the bases. Utley had the first clutch opportunity, stepping to the plate with runners on first and second with two outs in the third inning. He grounded out to shortstop to end that threat. The Phillies put two runners on in the fourth inning of a scoreless game before Rollins hit a harmless fly to left field for the second out. Cain then struck out Raul Ibanez to get of that inning. Utley came up in another big spot in the fifth inning, with the Phillies trailing 2-0. Shane Victorino drew a two-out walk and stole second. Utley then grounded out to second base, standing with his hands on his hips for a few seconds after the play in apparent frustration. The Phillies had one more chance against Cain, putting runners on first and second with two outs in the seventh inning. Victorino couldn’t deliver this time, grounding out to second on Cain’s final pitch of the game. “We just need to be aggressive,” Victorino said. “I don’t know what we’re doing, why we’re not hitting. If I could put my finger on it I would have answered it a long time ago. We’re not going to sit here and worry about why we’re not hitting. We’re going to worry about when we’re going to hit.” Rollins did manage a single in the ninth against Brian Wilson but was erased when Ibanez hit into a game-ending double play to extend his hitless streak to 15 at-bats. While Rollins delivered a key three-run triple to put away the Giants in Game 2, the Phillies have had very few clutch hits like that against the Giants vaunted pitching staff. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 final Phillies

Last week, coach Kevin Jackson addressed the media for the first time regarding the upcoming wrestling season. The second-year coach of the ISU wrestling team has a new task ahead of him, inheriting 19 new wrestlers. They range from recruits to walk-ons to transfers, all of whom will make this year a “teachable” year. “When you have so many new faces in the program, when you have so many new faces trying to reach that next level, it has been a bigtime teaching period for all of our athletes,” Jackson said. Despite all the question marks surrounding it, excitement among the team remains

intact. “This is a great team,” said senior Jon Reader. “I know we’re kind of looked at as the underdogs right now, but I’m just excited to see these guys compete. They’re all young, they’re all hungry.” Meet canceled Jackson began his initial address to the media by stating that the team will not be traveling to Champaign, Ill., for its regularly scheduled dual meet against Illinois, due to scheduling conflicts between both teams. The dual meet was originally scheduled for Jan. 14. Last year, the Fighting Illini came to Hilton Coliseum where they were defeated by the then-second-ranked Cyclones, 33-9. Returning ISU starters Andrew Sorenson (157 pounds) and Reader (165) notched a decision and a major decision in the meet for the cardinal and gold.

Team shuffles lineup in light of injury By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com The ISU football team was tired and beaten up before it went to Norman to face No. 6 Oklahoma. After the ISU defense faced 94 plays from the OU offense, surrendered 52 points and the ISU offense was held to just 3 yards per play, the Cyclones returned with even wearier legs. “Getting back at 3 o’clock in the morning on Sunday, we took day the off from a practice standpoint to try and rest our kids and freshen their legs up the best that we can,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads at his weekly news conference Monday. Rhoads’ attempts at resting his team may have come too late, though. Several Cyclones were already banged up as they started preparing to face No. 19 Texas on Saturday. At wide receiver, Darius Darks left the field Saturday after a shot to the ribcage sent him off the field. A junior, Darks will likely be limited on Saturday against the Longhorns. Running back Alexander Robinson has been hobbled with foot and ankle injuries this season, but will be “fine and ready to play,” Rhoads said.

Defensive end Rashawn Parker left the loss to Oklahoma with a knee injury. Sophomore Roosevelt Rhoads Maggitt filled in for the injured Parker and would do so if Parker isn’t ready to take the field in Austin, Texas, on Saturday. “Roosevelt has also improved, and per play, he’s as productive a defensive end as we’ve had all season,” Rhoads said. “Pleased with his growth and maturity, and he’s a guy that we’ve been able to mold a little bit as we’ve taken over the program, and I think the future is very bright with his two years remaining.” If Maggitt sees the field Saturday, though, he won’t be the only fresh face along the ISU front four. Junior defensive end Jacob Lattimer is listed as the starter at the end opposite Parker and Maggitt, supplanting Patrick Neal, who has started at left end since the 2009 season. “Jake’s out-played him, especially recently,” Rhoads said. “He

Chicago Cubs choose Big Ten title race to go through Iowa territory Quade as manager By Luke Meredeth The Associated Press

By Andrew Seligman The Associated Press CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs will keep Mike Quade as their manager, choosing to go with the man who ran the team well for the last six weeks of last season rather than a higherproďŹ le name like Hall of Famer and franchise icon Ryne Sandberg. Quade, the team’s third base coach the past four years, was given a two-year contract Tuesday along with a club option for 2013. He served as interim manager after Lou Piniella abruptly stepped down in late August, leading the team to a 24-13 record. “This is obviously a great day,â€? Quade said. The job will be his ďŹ rst as a major league manager. The hire is the ďŹ rst under new owner Tom Ricketts, who watched the Cubs ďŹ nish out of the playoffs yet again. Chicago’s infamous World Series championship drought now stands at 102 years. “We believe that Mike can coach, manage and win for the Chicago Cubs,â€? Ricketts said. The Cubs ďŹ nished the season at 75-87, in next-to-last place in the NL Central and a far cry from what a team with a payroll of about $145 million to start the season had expected. Saying he needed to be with his ailing mother in Florida, Piniella stepped down Aug. 22. He was in the last year of his deal and had put together three straight winning seasons, but couldn’t get the Cubs out of their funk. There was speculation that general man-

ager Jim Hendry might hire Sandberg, the manager at Triple-A Iowa, or a former major league manager like Eric Wedge or Bob Melvin. The Cubs were also reportedly interested in the New York Yankees’ Joe Girardi. Hendry called Sandberg was “a great candidate,� but said: “At the end of the day, I felt Mike Quade was the best manager for the Chicago Cubs.�

IOWA CITY — This is exactly where Iowa wanted to be halfway through the season. The 13th-ranked Hawkeyes are coming off wins over Penn State and Michigan and now control their own destiny in the Big Ten. The league’s other top contenders, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State, all have to visit Kinnick Stadium over the next six weeks, starting with Saturday’s date against the 10th-ranked Badgers (6-1, 2-0 Big Ten). Ideally, the Hawkeyes (5-1, 2-0) would like to be undefeated. But their loss to Arizona last month doesn’t affect their ultimate goal of winning the league title for the ďŹ rst time since 2004 and earning back-to-back BCS bowl bids, which would be a ďŹ rst. But while projecting Iowa’s path to the Big Ten title has become the hot topic for Hawkeyes fans, coach Kirk Ferentz wants no part of it. “I’m not looking at the race. I hope our players aren’t. To me, there is no race yet,â€? he said. Perhaps the best news for Iowa as it heads

into the second half of the season is that it’s relatively healthy and playing well. Adam Robinson has put aside any concerns about the lack of depth at running back created by Jewel Hampton’s season-ending knee injury and Brandon Wegher’s departure for personal reasons. Robinson rushed for 143 yards on a careerhigh 31 carries in a 38-28 win over Michigan, with a pair of touchdowns and four receptions for 61 yards. He’s now fourth in the Big Ten in rushing with 103.8 yards a game. It also helps that quarterback Ricky Stanzi has blossomed as a senior. Stanzi appears to have put his inconsistencies behind him and is quietly putting together one of the best seasons by any quarterback in the country. If Iowa can handle its business against Wisconsin and No. 8 Michigan State over the next two weeks, the Big Ten will be theirs to lose. “We can’t get ahead of ourselves, because once you do that, that’s when you’re going to take a step back and lose a game or two,� tight end Allen Reisner said.

League will suspend players for agrant hits By Rachel Cohen AP Sports Writer NEW YORK — The NFL will begin suspending players for dangerous and agrant hits, starting with this week’s games, and meantime ďŹ ned three players Tuesday for their actions last weekend. Pittsburgh Steelers’ James Harrison was docked $75,000, while the New England Patriots’ Brandon Meriweather and the Atlanta Falcons’ Dunta Robinson will lose $50,000 each. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league wanted to give players appropriate warning before it begins suspensions for violent hits. Instead of starting the suspensions immediately, as was indicated earlier Tuesday by

football operations chief Ray Anderson, Aiello said a memo will go out to teams Wednesday about the changes in disciplinary action. In the past, players were either ďŹ ned or ejected for illegal hits. But after the series of recent agrant tackles, several of which resulted in concussions, the NFL ramped up the punishment “for egregious and elevated hits,â€? Anderson said. Harrison sidelined two Browns players with head injuries after jarring hits, while Ravens tight end Todd Heap took a vicious hit from Meriweather that Heap called “one of those hits that shouldn’t happen.â€? Robinson and the Eagles’ DeSean Jackson were knocked out of their game after a frightening collision in which Robinson launched himself head ďŹ rst to make a tackle. Both sustained concussions.

Bill Parcells no longer working at Dolphins’ HQ By Steven Wine AP Sports Writer MIAMI — Bill Parcells has again reduced his role with the Miami Dolphins: He stopped coming to work. Parcells cleared out his ofďŹ ce and no longer works at the team complex, but the Dolphins said he’ll continue as a consultant to general manager Jeff Ireland and coach Tony Sparano. “Whether he is physically here or not is really immaterial to the contributions that he will make on an ongoing basis,â€? chief executive ofďŹ ce Mike Dee said Tuesday. “From the football operations point of view, it really is business as usual. Nothing has really changed.â€? However, the 69-year-old Parcells’ role has become even more limited since he gave control of the football operation to Ireland shortly before the season. At that time, the Dolphins said Parcells would remain involved daily, but that may no

longer be the case. “The role is uid,â€? Dee said, “and how it shapes going forward is Bill’s decision.â€? Dee wouldn’t speculate about whether Parcells is likely to help with next year’s draft. Parcells was hired nearly three years ago by owner Wayne Huizenga, who subsequently sold the team to Stephen Ross. Ross hasn’t commented publicly since Parcells handed over control to Ireland. Dee described as “not accurateâ€? speculation that a rift developed between Parcells and Ross, Ireland or Sparano, prompting the transition in control. “I think Bill just decided it was the right time,â€? Dee said. “There were no adversarial, contentious issues I’m aware of between ownership or anybody. This is a group that continues to work closely together. Jeff and Tony are here together because of Bill.â€? Parcells was hired as Miami staggered to the end of a 1-15 season in 2007, and Ireland and Sparano came

aboard shortly thereafter. The Dolphins staged a remarkable turnaround in 2008, when they went 11-5 and won the AFC East, but ďŹ nished a disappointing 7-9 last season. They’re 3-2 this season going into Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh. “I speak for Steve when I say we love the team we have,â€? Dee said. “Tony and Jeff have Steve’s full conďŹ dence. It’s been that way since Steve got here, especially in the last six weeks.â€? Parcells worked a full schedule his ďŹ rst two years in Miami. He arrived early each day, watched practices from a golf cart, poured over video of games and offered players frequent feedback. That routine ended at the conclusion of this year’s training camp, but Parcells has continued to attend some practices. “You’ve still got to watch over your shoulder, because you know he could be standing there,â€? Pro Bowl tackle Jake Long said. “You’ve still got to play well.â€?

NBA

League bans shoes designed to increase vertical leap NEW YORK — The NBA is prohibiting its players from wearing a new line of sneakers that claims to increase vertical leap. “Under league rules, players may not wear any shoe during a game that creates an undue competitive advantage,� the NBA said in a statement Tuesday. Athletic Propulsion Labs’ $300 Concept 1 shoe employs a spring-based system designed to increase lift.

The Los Angeles-based company was founded by twins Adam and Ryan Goldston, both former USC basketball walk-ons whose father worked in the shoe industry. The brothers said Tuesday that many NBA players, including about 30 percent of the rookie class, expressed interest in the shoes but they wouldn’t reveal names because the players had signed with other footwear companies.

Investigation questioned

Woman on bus makes gun threat

NY family skeptical of official shooting story

The Associated Press UPPER DARBY, Pa. — A Pennsylvania woman pulled out a handgun and threatened a fellow passenger during an argument onboard a public bus, but a third passenger is being hailed as a hero for breaking up the confrontation before it escalated further, police said. The altercation onboard the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority bus in Upper Darby, just outside Philadelphia, was captured on video. The woman was arrested after getting off the bus and a gun was found in her purse, police said. Cordelia Chisholm, 58, of Yeadon, was being held on charges of aggravated assault and other counts. It could not immediately be determined if Chisholm had an attorney, and a telephone number for her could not be located. Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael Chitwood told the Delaware County Daily Times that a 22-year-old woman talking on a cell phone Thursday evening bumped into Chisholm, who pulled out the gun and threatened her. A shouting and pushing match ensued before a third passenger, an unidentiďŹ ed man, stepped in and quelled the dispute as Chisholm held the gun to the victim’s stomach, Chitwood said.

By Jim Fitzgerald The Associated Press THORNWOOD, N.Y. — Relatives of a Pace University football player who was shot and killed by police said Tuesday they are skeptical of official accounts of the shooting and have hired a civil rights lawyer. “While we had been assured of an objective investigation, we are deeply troubled by the various and conicting accounts,â€? the Henry family of Easton, Mass., said in a statement. “We are simply seeking the truth about the actions of anyone who participated in the killing of our son.â€? Danroy Henry, 20, was shot to death by officers who ďŹ red through the windshield of his Nissan Altima. The police had been called to a disturbance that spilled out of Finnegan’s Grill in Thornwood, about 25 miles north of New York City and 1 and a half miles from Pace’s campus. The circumstances of the shooting early Sunday, a few hours after the homecoming game, have been in dispute. Police say Henry sped off, hitting two officers, after a policeman knocked on his car window. The father of a passenger denies an officer was hit and claims Henry thought he was following police instructions. The family’s new lawyer, Michael Sussman, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that “every account we have gotten is contrary to what police have told the press, so yes, there is skepticism.â€? He said he was hired to “discover where the fault lies, if anywhereâ€? and take appropriate action, which could include legal ďŹ lings.

Octomom hearing begins Fertility doctor faces revocation of his license By Shaya Tayefe Mohajer The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Nadya Suleman’s fertility doctor endangered the mother of 14 by implanting her with a dozen embryos in the pregnancy that gave her octuplets, a state attorney said Monday. The accusation disclosed at Dr. Michael Kamrava’s licensing hearing conicts with Suleman’s earlier assertions that only six embryos were implanted and two split, leading

New York

to the eight children who were born in January 2009. Kamrava “knew that a 12-embryo transfer was unsafe and below the standard of care,� state Deputy Attorney General Judith Alvarado said in opening statements at the Medical Board of California hearing. The board could suspend or revoke Kamrava’s license if it concludes that the Beverly Hills physician was negligent. The hearing is expected to take two weeks. Suleman, a 33-year-old unemployed single mother, has said Kamrava implanted her with six embryos for each of her six pregnancies — an apparent violation of national guidelines that specify no

expert witness for the medical board, testiďŹ ed Monday that Kamrava should have referred Suleman to a mental health evaluation after she went to Dr. Kamrava to say she wanted twins. Her request, Fujimoto said, came in October 2002, after Suleman had borne two children through Kamrava’s treatments who were only 17 months and 4 months. “For me it raises a huge red ag,â€? said Fujimoto, who reviewed her medical records. “It’s a very unique request for twins after having just had a second child. In my opinion at that point it would have been reasonable to ask the patient or to request a mental health evaluation.â€?

By Tom Hays The Associated Press NEW YORK — For weeks, a jury listened to tapes of James Cromitie ranting against Jews and U.S. military aggression in the Middle East and talking to an informant — paid by the FBI and wearing a wire — about how to get revenge by blowing up New York City synagogues and shooting down military planes. Videotape showed the men inspecting and practicing with fake weapons — part of a plot federal prosecutors said was all Cromitie’s idea. The defense dismissed the sting as a “movie written, produced and directedâ€? by the FBI and never a real threat to New Yorkers. Jurors deliberated for eight days at the trial in federal court in Manhattan before rejecting an entrapment defense and siding with the government by ďŹ nding Cromitie and three co-defendants guilty of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and other charges. Cromitie and David Williams were convicted of all eight counts, while Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen were convicted of seven of eight counts. Sentencing was set for March 24; the defendants could face up to life in prison.

more than two embryos for a healthy woman under 35. High orders of multiple births can result in long-term developmental delays, cerebral palsy and various life-threatening ailments. The guidelines aren’t hard-and-fast rules, but fertility specialists have criticized Kamrava’s methods, saying he endangered Suleman’s health and the long-term health of the babies. Suleman’s babies, born nine weeks premature, are the world’s longest-surviving set of octuplets. Besides fertility medicine claims, Kamrava is accused of failing to refer Suleman for a mental health evaluation before giving her fertility treatments. Dr. Victor Y. Fujimoto, an

Violence in Iraq

Envoy escapes bombing Bomb hit convoy after meeting with top cleric By Lara Jakes The Associated Press

Chilean legislator says operators ignored warning By Federico Quilodran The Associated Press SANTIAGO, Chile — A Chilean legislative commission is investigating reports that mining operators ignored danger warnings from a man who was later among 33 later trapped when a mine collapsed. Deputy Carlos Vilches, a commission member, said Tuesday that miner Juan Illanes has alleged that operators refused his request to leave the mine three hours before it collapsed on Aug. 5. Illanes reportedly had heard loud sounds that indicated a collapse could be brewing. Vilches spoke at the opening of a public exhibit of the capsule used in last week’s rescue of the miners after 69 days underground, an achievement that served as a rallying point of national pride. The exhibit in the plaza outside Chile’s presidential palace is drawing hundreds of people. Vilches represents Copiapo, the community closest to the San Jose Mine where the collapse occurred. He said he would call Illanes and other miners to testify before the commission about conditions at the mine. Another worker, Gino Cortez, lost his leg in a smaller collapse inside the San Jose Mine in July. The mining company’s owners and supervisors of the mining operation are under investigation in connection with the earlier accident. A spokesperson for the San Esteban mining company that owns the mine said the ďŹ rm would have no comment pending possible legal proceedings. “It’s simply incredible that even in the face of the miners’ warnings, measures were not taken to prevent the accident, and to ensure that they were not in the mine when the collapse occurred,â€? said Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter.

BAGHDAD — The chief U.N. envoy to Iraq escaped unharmed from a bombing that hit his convoy Tuesday after a meeting with the nation’s top Shiite cleric about how to unsnarl Iraq’s stalemated government. Officials have long worried that the political impasse that has gripped Iraq for more than seven months may lead to violence, and the attack on U.N. Special Representative Ad Melkert underscored those fears. The U.N. pulled out of Iraq after a 2003 bombing of its Baghdad headquarters killed then-envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello and 21 employees and a series of other attacks against aid workers. But the world body returned in 2004 and has stepped up its presence over the years as violence ebbs and the U.S. military begins to leave Iraq. U.N. spokeswoman Randa Jamal said Melkert had ďŹ nished meeting with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani and was leaving the Shiite holy city of Najaf when his convoy hit a roadside bomb. Nobody in the delegation was injured and Melkert was safely back in Baghdad by Tuesday evening, Jamal said. Jamal said the U.N. convoy was accompanied by an Iraqi security escort. Iraqi Gen. Othman al-Ghanemi, who oversees military operations in the area, said nobody in the convoy was killed or injured. At a press conference before leaving Najaf, Melkert said he would not discuss any speciďŹ cs of his meeting with al-Sistani, who wields strong inuence with Shiites in Iraq and other countries and has refused to meet with U.S. diplomats in recent years. Melkert said al-Sistani expressed concern about Iraq’s government, which has been in limbo since March 7 parliamentary elections failed to yield a clear winner. As a result, a mostly Shiite political alliance led by Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki and a Sunni-backed group headed by secular Shiite Ayad Allawi have been furiously jockeying for allies to control parliament and pick Iraq’s new leaders.

“It is time for all to meet together at one table to form a government, according to Iraq’s constitution and without beforehand conditions,� Melkert said before Tuesday’s bombing. “Iraqi interests should be above any other interest.� Al-Maliki arrived in Egypt Tuesday as part of a tour to seek support from neigh-

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- You want to shout your news from the rooftops. Call the essential parties first. They deserve to know in advance. Then issue a press release.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- The course of love doesn’t run smooth for someone in your family. You can soothe ruffled feathers by telling jokes and being utterly silly.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- You don’t have to take the spotlight today. In fact, others benefit when you allow them to have their say and reserve your response for another day.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Apply your creativity to concrete problems with a sibling or neighbor. It’s better to have a great plan than to rush forward without one.

>>INJURIES.p1B has really started to show up the last two or three weeks and is making more plays.” While the defensive front four has been a point of emphasis, Rhoads insisted the Lattimer move and any future playing time for Maggitt are not looks toward 2011 or beyond. “We would never put 2011 or 2012 in front of 2010,” Rhoads said. “We would never jeopardize the success of this game or this season just to get younger kids more playing time.” The coach made a similar change on the offensive side of the ball, moving wide receiver Darius Reynolds to the top spot at his position, supplanting Sedrick Johnson. Reynolds has 11 catches for 162 yards and a touchdown this season, while Johnson has 14 catches for 94 yards this season. “Darius has been coming on and performing better, both in practice and in game situations,” Rhoads said. Closing the speed gap For back-to-back weeks, Rhoads has pointed to differences in team speed as a major reason

>>JACKSON.p1B Weight changes Some notable veteran ISU wrestlers will be moving to different weight classes this year, giving the squad a new look this season. Reader, a two-time AllAmerican at 165 pounds, will be moving up to 174 pounds for his senior campaign. “Jon Reader has moved up to 174 (pounds),” Jackson said. “He solidified his spot based on his past performances and based on him being the best guy for that position.” The move up is seen as a good thing by the Davison, Mich., native. “It’s going to be fun this year not having to really worry about my weight, but just going out and making sure my skills are sharp in competing,” Reader said. Returning starter Jerome Ward will also be moving up from 184 to 197 pounds this season. Ward, a two-time NCAA qualifier at 184 pounds, defeated numerous top 10 foes last season en route to posting a 19-11 season record before qualifying for the NCAA Tournament as the team’s only at-large bid. “I planned to move up at this time when I signed, actually,” said Ward, a junior. “I knew I didn’t have many years of 184 left. It was kind of a tough cut for me. I just had to move up to a bigger weight class and whatnot.” Ward went on to go 1-2 at the NCAA Championships, making his overall record 2-4 at the tournament as a 184-pounder. Other notable changes include Sorenson’s shift up to 165 from 157 pounds, where he will compete with Chris Spangler, who is moving down from 174 pounds. Last year, Spangler saw action in two dual meets, but lost to Illinois’ Jordan Blanton and Cornell’s Mack Lewnes, who managed to place fifth and second at 174 pounds at the NCAA Tournament. Despite a noticeable trend in weight class changes, not all wrestlers will be moving up. Senior Nate Carr Jr. is moving down from 157 to 149 pounds, where he will be contending for the starting spot with Max Mayfield. Mayfield wrestled under weight at 149 pounds while then-starter Mitch Mueller was being given a rest by Jackson in the team’s dual meet victory against Illinois, where he lost to No. 20 Eric Terrazas by a decision of 4-2. Happy trails Former 141-pound starter Dalton Jensen transferred to Nebraska-Kearney at the conclusion of last season. “I know they recruited him right out of high school,” Jackson said. “Dalton felt like it was the best situation for him to transfer, and we released Dalton to Kearney to do that.” Jensen was given the nod to start at 141 pounds after All-American Nick Gallick suffered a season-ending deep thigh bruise that required surgery. He went 14-15 as a sophomore, notching six pins, three major decisions and two technical falls. Jensen went on to earn an automatic bid after placing fourth in the Big 12 Championships to secure the weight class’ final automatic bid for the conference before going 1-2 at the NCAA Championships. “He’s a great young man,

for scoring discrepancies on the field. Against Utah, Rhoads pointed to a major speed difference on special teams as a huge gap in the Cyclones’ 68-27 loss. There seemed to be a speed difference everywhere on the field in the 52-0 loss to Oklahoma. “We certainly aren’t without athletic and speedy players,” Rhoads said, “but you don’t have them with the numbers that opponents like this do.” With seven teams on Iowa State’s schedule in the first Bowl Championship Series rankings that were released on Sunday — including three of their remaining five opponents — the challenge of facing quicker, deeper lineups is present nearly all year. Recruiting the kind of speed necessary to have the kind of depth that Oklahoma and Utah have, Rhoads said, becomes difficult because players with that speed at each position are fewer and farther between. “The biggest disparity between those programs is in the interior lines, especially on the defensive side,” Rhoads said. “That’s where we need the most growth, probably, in the program.”

and we enjoyed him being at Iowa State,” Jackson said. “He was a true Cyclone; unfortunately he felt like a transition was the best thing for him, so we’re going to miss him and wish him the best.” True freshmen Some true freshmen will be given the opportunity to make an immediate impact on the team upon their arrival. According to Jackson, three true freshmen are competing for starting spots on the roster as of right now. Brandon Jones, a threetime state placewinner and 112-pound state champion as a junior at West Des Moines Valley, will be competing with redshirt sophomores Patrick Hunter, a transfer from Iowa Central Community College, and Trevor Dearden for the starting spot at 125 pounds. Kyven Gadson, a threetime state placewinner who recorded back-to-back undefeated seasons on his way to the 171- and 189-pound state titles his junior and senior year at Waterloo East, will be battling it out for the starting spot at 184 pounds. Jackson says that Gadson’s resume and physical attributes give him a great chance to make an impact for the program. “Athletically, he’s the best

athlete I have on the team, hands down,” Jackson said of Gadson. “Based on his background with his father being an assistant coach at Iowa State and a graduate of Iowa State, he comes in with a set of base skills that allows him to reach the level of the best guys in the country a lot sooner.” Gadson is in competition with the wrestler he beat by a major decision of 13-3 to win the 189-pound state title his senior year in Matt Riley, a three-time state placewinner and former standout at Des Moines Roosevelt who took runner-up honors at 189 pounds his junior and senior years, and Cole Shafer, a redshirt freshman from Heber City, Utah. Despite the opportunities his teammates are getting, Ryak Finch will be redshirted by Jackson, who is wanting to preserve his talent for years to come. “He’s the future of that weight class at 125, we truly believe that,” Jackson said of Finch. “He’s a special wrestler, a special athlete. I’m pretty confident that we’ll redshirt him unless he goes to Midlands with us and wins, then we might have to pull him out of the redshirt, but right now the plan is for him to redshirt.”

Kicking it old school Freshman punter Kirby Van Der Kamp has been one of the brightest spots in Iowa State’s back-to-back losses. The West Des Moines native and Valley High School graduate has 16 punts in the last two games and has averaged 50.9 yards per kick over that span. While he is second in the Big 12 with his 48.4 yards per kick over the course of the season, Rhoads said there are a few things the first-year special teamer can improve upon. “His hangtime is something that we want to increase as he kicks the ball down the field,” Rhoads said. “Our net was outstanding Saturday, but the 16-yard return that we gave up and the 10-yard return we gave up are big plays waiting to happen if he doesn’t put more hangtime on it.” Coming into the season, punter was a question mark for Rhoads and the Cyclones. Van Der Kamp and senior Daniel Kuehl were battling to replace long-time punter Michael Brandtner who departed the team after 2009. However, after a bit of a slow start, Van Der Kamp has proven himself to be a worthy replacement, even as a freshman.

“He’s a true freshman but he’s not kicking like one,” said ISU quarterback Austen Arnaud. “Physically, he’s probably more gifted than Mike was. So we’re very excited to have him and he’s got a great future ahead of him.”

lineup this season, making it a little more difficult to prepare for. “[The Buffaloes] are a much improved team from last year,” Johnson-Lynch said. “They have so many newcomers. A lot of the people on the court Johnson-Lynch will be ones we haven’t played before, so we may have to make adjustments on the fly.” Significantly for Iowa State, this match will also mark its first road test since an unsettling 3-1 loss to Kansas in Lawrence on Oct. 9. With that loss came an indication that the wear and tear on the team had begun to set in for a number of Cyclones, especially their two starting middle blockers. In arguably the most physical demanding position on the court — due to constant jumping and lateral movement — it’s no surprise that Jamie Straube and Deb Stadick are the most banged-up players on the squad. While both players appear to be unaffected during matches, Straube has been battling, and will continue to battle, chronic shin pains and Stadick is still recovering from a recent sprained ankle. Straube said that their roles in practice will be limited to allow them to rest while they have a chance, but neither is expected to miss significant time in the coming weeks. “We’re playing a lot of matches and don’t have a lot of rest right now,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’re at that point of the season where we really have to grind it out. We may not be 100 percent mentally and physically, but we’ve got to find a way to push through.” The match is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. opening serve at the Coors Event Center in Boulder.

Three weeks down the calendar sits the team’s much-anticipated day off, but until then the No. 12 Cyclones (13-4, 6-3 Big 12) will face what is likely their most physically and mentally demanding stretch of the season. A road match at Colorado (6-9, 3-6) on Wednesday is the first obstacle in an environment that presents unique challenges every year. “It’s always a little difficult to go to Colorado,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “Serving and passing is always different elevation-wise and they usually play really well at home.” Similar challenges faced Iowa State when it moved into its temporary home at the Ames High gymnasium, a venue that initially caused a bit of trouble with serve and pass due to the gym’s unique qualities of air flow and depth perception. The thin air of the Rockies has presented noticeable differences in past road trips to Boulder, Colo., and the team has made a point to address it before Wednesday’s match. “It always feels like the ball floats a lot more there in both passing and serving,” Mass said. “It’s harder to keep balls in sometimes, and it’s something we’ll work on at our pre-match practice there.” The Buffaloes are coming off a win last week in Lubbock over Texas Tech, the only team currently below them in the Big 12 standings. That win ended their previous four-match losing streak, and much to the jealousy of the Cyclones, led the Buffaloes into a weekend that presented them with their first day off in Big 12 play. Like recent opponents Kansas State and Texas A&M, many new faces grace the Colorado

Tau’fo’ou update Injured ISU linebacker Matt Tau’fo’ou is recovering from the broken leg that has sidelined him nearly all season. Tau’fo’ou broke his fibula against the then-ninthranked Iowa Hawkeyes and has been out since. Rhoads said that the junior will “run around” more this week, but still likely won’t see the practice field until next week when the Cyclones begin preparing to face Kansas. Homecoming kickoff set The Cyclones’ game against Kansas on Oct. 30 will be the first of the season not televised. The game will also be the first of the Cyclones’ games at Jack Trice Stadiums that won’t finish under the lights. After four straight home games finishing late in the night, Iowa State will take kick off its Homecoming affair with Kansas at 1 p.m.
