Iowa has significant flood risk this spring DES MOINES — Iowa is at risk for significant flooding this spring, the National Weather Service says.

At some of the highest risk for flooding are cities along the Des Moines River from the Minnesota border to the Des Moines area, including Estherville, Algona, Fort Dodge and Des Moines. At risk for moderate flooding are areas along the Mississippi River from the Quad Cities south.

Other parts of eastern Iowa have a minor to moderate flood risk, while most of central and Northwest Iowa will be at high risk.

The weather service’s spring flood outlook comes as some eastern Iowa cities are still rebuilding from the floods of 2008, which caused an estimated $10 billion in damage statewide.

The predictions are based on the state receiving normal amounts of precipitation this spring, said Brad Small of the National Weather Service’s Des Moines office. The predictions cover February

through April.

Factors contributing to the flood risk include abovenormal soil moisture and river flows statewide, Small said.

Another factor is the snowpack, which ranges from 1 to 4 inches across the state, with the highest amounts in the northwest.

“The best-case scenario is that we melt the snow gradually and have below-normal precipitation heading into the spring,” Small said. “The worst-case scenario is we warm up quickly and get heavy rains coincident with each other.”

The floods of 2008 were the result of heavy precipitation in late spring.

National Weather Service meteorologist Rod Donavon said communities most at risk for flooding should monitor forecasts and prepare for high water.

“Unlike 2008, now we know the moisture is in place,” Donavon said. “It’s not going to occur overnight.”

Obama reveals budget

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama unveiled a multitrilliondollar spending plan Monday, pledging an intensified effort to combat high unemployment and asking Congress to quickly approve new job-creation efforts that would boost the deficit to a record-breaking $1.56 trillion.

Obama’s new budget blueprint preaches the need to make tough choic-

es to restrain runaway deficits, but not before attacking what the administration sees as the more immediate challenge of lifting the country out of a deep recession that has cost 7.2 million jobs over the past two years.

The result is a budget plan that would give the country trillion-dollar-plus deficits for three consecutive years.

Obama’s new budget

projects a spending increase of 5.7 percent for the current budget year and forecasts that spending would rise another 3 percent in 2011 to $3.83 trillion.

“Until America is back at work, my administration will not rest and this recovery will not be finished,” Obama declared in his budget message.

The sixth annual symposium on “Wildness, Wilderness and the Creative Imagination” took place last weekend at the Memorial Union and Ames Public Library.

The theme for this year’s symposium was “Things Fall Apart: Finding Beauty in a Broken World.”

The symposium was an environmental literary festival featuring readings, poetry performances, panel discussions, documentary films, live music and book signings.

Noah Hutton presented his documentary “Crude Independence” on Sunday morning in the Sun Room. The film followed the small North Dakota town of Stanley through the oil boom during the summer of 2008.

Narratives of the town police, courthouse employees, farmers, kids and oil workers expressed both concern and gratitude for the oil wells in the fields surrounding Stanley.

“We think in sound bites with all the news and headlines, and for me this project was an opportunity for engagement, to embrace how much of a mixed bag this experience was [for the residents of Stanley],” said Hutton of his time filming in North Dakota.

Hutton was praised by an audience member, whose hometown is Stanley, saying that the depiction was very accurate.

The audience member knew all of the people interviewed for the film and thought it was an honest piece.

Four-time national individual Poetry Slam champion Patricia Smith read from her fifth book of poetry, “Blood Dazzler,” later in the afternoon.

Smith opened her performance with a poem she wrote about a sixth-grade class she taught in Miami.

The poem expressed the pain, challenges and lessons the children faced in their drug- and AIDS-influenced communities.

Before reading from “Blood Dazzler,” Smith performed “Doin’ the Louvre,” an upbeat poem about her trip to Paris with a friend.

“Blood Dazzler” is a collection of poems describing the physical and emotional effects left by Hurricane Katrina. Smith read poems about pets, lost family members, the search for dead bodies and a group of 34 nursing home residents that were left behind during evacuation.

Smith said a number of her poems were inspired by photos and news brought home by her husband, who was in charge of a group of reporters working in the field during the intense aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

“None of them talked about Katrina.

She was their odd sister, the blood dazzler,” concluded Smith’s final reading.

It was a piece personifying the hurricanes of 2005 as Katrina’s siblings.

Haitian prime minister accuses church group

By Ben Fox and Frank Bajak Associated Press Writers PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti's prime minister said Monday that 10 Americans who tried to take a busload of undocumented Haitian children out of the country knew that "what they were doing was wrong," and could be prosecuted in the United States for their actions.

Prime Minister Max Bellerive also told The Associated Press that his country is open to having the Americans face U.S. justice, since most government buildings — including Haiti's courts — were crippled by the monster earthquake.

"It is clear now that they were trying to cross the border without papers. It is clear now that some of the children have live parents," Bellerive said. "And it is clear now that they knew what they were doing was wrong."

If they were acting in good faith — as the Americans claim — "perhaps the courts will try to be more lenient with them," he said.

U.S. Embassy officials would not say whether Washington would accept hosting judicial proceedings for the accused Americans, who are mostly from Idaho.

For now, the case remains firmly in Haitian hands, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in Washington.

"Once we know all the facts, we will determine what the appropriate course

is, but the judgment is really up to the Haitian government," he said.

Haitian officials insist some prosecution is needed to help deter child trafficking, which many fear will flourish in the chaos caused by the devastating Jan. 12 quake.

The government and aid groups are still struggling to get food, water, shelter and basic health care to hundreds of

abandoned and traumatized children — but appeared to lack any significant experience with Haiti, international charity work or international adoption regulations.

After their arrest Friday near the border, the church group members were placed in two small concrete rooms in the same judicial police headquarters building where ministers have

thousands of survivors, and many parents are desperate to get help for their children.

U.S. diplomats have had "unlimited" access to the 10 detainees, and will monitor any court proceedings, said Crowley. They have not yet been charged.

Members of the church group insisted they were only trying to save

makeshift offices and give disaster response briefings.

"There is no air conditioning, no electricity. It is very disturbing," Attorney Jorge Puello told the AP by telephone from the Dominican Republic, where the Baptists hoped to shelter the Haitian children in a rented beach hotel.

One of the Americans, Charisa Coulter of Boise, Idaho, was treated Monday at a field hospital for either dehydration or the flu.

Looking pale as she lay on a green Army cot, the 24-year-old Coulter was being guarded by two Haitian police officers.

"They're treating me pretty good," she said. "I'm not concerned. I'm pretty confident that it will all work out."

Investigators have been trying to determine how the Americans got the children, and whether any of the traffickers that have plagued the impoverished country were involved.

Puello said they came from a collapsed orphanage.

Their detained spokeswoman, Laura Silsby, said they were "just trying to do the right thing," but she conceded she had not obtained the required passports, birth certificates and adoption certificates for them — a near impossible challenge in the post-quake mayhem.

Bellerive said that without the documents, the children were unlikely to reach the United States, as some of their families might have hoped.

An Internet addiction expert who defended the shutdown on national television found himself bombarded with several angry phone calls and death threats.

little more a shrug.

"If Google leaves China, we'll lose one search engine. But we still have other choices," said 28-year-old Deng Zhiluo, who works in marketing in Beijing.

He said while Google's search results are more "international," most of what he wants can be found on Chinese competi-

The indifference of many Chinese points to a telling challenge for Google in the world's most populous Internet market.

Leader Michael Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs.

In the mix is the fate of the Mount Pleasant Mental Health Institute, which has been targeted for closure as a state cost-cutting measure.

Gov. Chet Culver based his proposed budget on finding $341 million in savings through streamlining state government.

He issued an executive order cutting more than $100 million, but the Legislature has to approve the rest.

The debate begins this week, and Gronstal said lawmakers will have to see how much is politically possible.

"The budget is predicated on the entire set of recommendations," Gronstal said. "We all want to get to the same place, but the route we take to get there may differ a little bit."

Female suicide bomber in Iraq kills 54

Howie Day rescheduled tentatively for March 10

By Brian Murphy Associated Press Writer BAGHDAD — A female suicide bomber detonated her explosives inside a way station for Shiite pilgrims Monday, killing 54 people and rattling security officials who are struggling against a possible rise in violence before key elections next month.

The attack was the third major strike by suspected Sunni insurgents in a week and left Baghdad's top security official acknowledging that extremists are adopting new methods to outwit bomb-detection squads such as stashing explosives deep inside the engines and frames of vehicles.

A similar warning about new tactics came last week from the chief U.S. military commander in Iraq, Gen. Raymond Odierno, after a twoday wave of suicide car bombers struck three hotels in Baghdad and the city's main crime lab, killing at least 63 people.

U.S. and Iraqi officials are deeply concerned that insurgents such as al-

Orazem said it’s too early to tell what the problem is, and until Lacina has been found, the city cannot speculate what could have been done differently that would have made the search go quicker or more smoothly.

“We err on the side of privacy,” Orazem said.

City of Ames representatives are waiting to hear the outcome of the situation before they react.

“It’s too easy to speculate,” Davis said.

Until the city knows what the full situation is, Davis said there is not much they can do without making a snap judg-

Until then, the city simply must wait to receive more direction from police.

Midwest survey shows economic progression

By Margery A. Beck Associated Press Writer OMAHA — Business leaders in nine Midwest and Plains states are starting to believe that the region's economy is picking up steam, according to results of a January survey released Monday.

The Business Conditions Index for the Mid-America region made a healthy jump in January, to 54.7, up from December's 50.3 and November's 47.5.

The index ranges from zero to 100, and any score above 50 suggests economic growth in the next three to six months.

Conversely, a score below 50 suggests a contracting economy over the next three to six months.

While surveys over the past several months point to a stillfragile economic recovery, the January survey results are encouraging, said Creighton Uni-

versity economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey.

"The likelihood of dipping back into recessionary territory has diminished significantly," Goss said.

The Mid-America survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

The regional employment index for January was 51.7, up from December's 47.6. Thirteen percent of supply managers reported job losses, while 17 percent indicated their firms were hiring. Meanwhile, the percentage of supply managers expecting layoffs in 2010 declined significantly over the past two months, from 41 percent in November to 24 percent in January.

Also, the number expecting a pay increases in 2010 rose from 48 percent in November to 53 percent in January.

"While I would not call this a surge, it clearly reflects an improving job market," Goss said.

Looking ahead six months, the January confidence index dipped to 68.5 from December's 69.5.

"Record low interest rates, improving housing markets and stabilizing unemployment rates are keeping the economic optimism high among supply managers in the Mid-America region," Goss said.

The prices-paid index, which tracks the cost of raw materials and supplies, soared to 75.5 from December's 65.2.

Goss said the prices-paid index has more than doubled over the past year, seeming to contradict the Federal Reserve's predictions of subdued inflation trends.

"I expect inflation at the consumer level to top 3.3 percent as early as the middle of 2010. This is a full percentage point above the Fed's acceptable level," Goss said.

The survey's trade numbers showed improvement. New export orders advanced to 55.8 from 51.9 in December, while imports rose to 50 from December's 48.5.

Speech:

Actual political dialogue occurs

‘Revolutionary’ new iPad fails to alter reality Do you know what today is? Think really hard about what groundbreaking event occurred approximately one week ago. Give up? Oh, how soon you forget. One week ago, Apple unleashed its newest technological marvel upon the modern world: the iPad. An innovation so awe-inspiring, Apple deemed this new technology “a magical and revolutionary device.”

With such a declaration preceding the release of the iPad, the Editorial Board decided to run a column on this important innovation one week after its release to evaluate its impact. We speculated what the world would be like after the iPad was forced into our collective cultural consciousness. We wondered how life would be different after the newest “iFad”?

How would this device — complete with an iPod, “LED-backlit IPS display screen,” “multi-touch” surface, wireless Internet, ability to magically fly and withstand nuclear warfare — change our lives? Would Kindles still exist? Would we still be using PCs for e-mails?

So, here we are, one week later, and our lives have remained the same. We’re still reading textbooks that come in the form of textbooks, plugging earbuds into our iPods and checking e-mail on the Park’s Library PCs. We have yet to see anyone toting an iPad around campus.

After mulling over this strange new invention, it’s safe to say iPads are not as groundbreaking as we were led to believe — not for $499, anyway. The only noticeable result of the iPad’s release is the feminine hygiene product jokes that have been in the media these days: iPad – maxi-pad, get it?

It’s culturally relevant low-brow humor.

Here’s the thing: Most of us already own technological equipment capable of sending and receiving e-mails, playing MP3s, watching videos and accessing the Web. The kids these days are calling these devices computers. They may not all have flashy touch screens or weigh a mere 1.5 pounds, but they’re what we’ve got to work with.

Apple’s newest release seems to be a gimmick. We’re not convinced a more cumbersome version of the iPhone will revolutionize technology anytime soon; especially because in the next year, Apple will likely release yet another “revolutionary” device, guaranteed to make our lives easier. And until one of Steve Jobs’ creations comes complete with the ability to write our term papers automatically, withstand nuclear warfare and fly, we’ll remain skeptical about flashy, expensive technology.

Comment of the Day: The following was posted in response to “DELUTIO: Applaud abstinence decisions,” on Friday.

“What I don’t get is why people who are against an abstinence-only approach because teens don’t have enough self-control to not have sex, believe that teens have enough self-control to use contraception every time. Fifty-four percent of women who have abortions had used a contraceptive method [usually the condom or the pill] during the month they became pregnant. Among those women, 76 percent of pill users and 49 percent of condom users report having used their method inconsistently, while 13 percent of pill users and 14 percent of condom users report correct use.

[From ‘Facts on Induced Abortion in the United States,’ courtesy the Guttmacher Institute] The notion that teens will use a condom every time is just as unrealistic as the notion that they will all be abstinent. Giving them the impression that you can have sex without consequences is dangerous though, while abstinence is not.”

After an unimpressive State of the Union, Obama speaks out

L

ike most politically-interested individuals, I watched President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech last Wednesday night with great anticipation.

As he reminded, many presidents before him have delivered the constitutionally required speech during times of war, depression, strife and struggle. Given that our present period in history combines each of these four facets, I wondered how he would lay out his priorities for a better country while also assuaging Americans’ anxieties.

Would the president defy the expectations of political prognosticators and his own advisers by attempting to push a long-awaited and fiercely debated health care reform bill over the hallowed “finish line”? With next fall’s elections — not to mention his own potential reelection bid in 2012 — in mind, would he instead emphasize jobs and the economy? Finally, would he directly address Republicans, attempting to both impress and suppress the powerful pains in his presidential posterior?

Yes, yes and yes. Obama did all these things and more.

On the economy, he very predictably channeled populist anger in referring to the bank bailout as a “root canal” for Republicans and Democrats, and stating that, “If these firms can afford to hand out big bonuses again, they can afford to pay back the taxpayers who rescued them in their time of need.”

Just as predictably, he trumpeted the fact his administration had kept Americans buying by signing into law 25 tax cuts and the belief that without its stimulus bill, unemployment would be far higher.

Obama also incorporated into his speech every other item on his laundry list of legislative hopes and dreams, being sure to frame them as actions that would boost the economy. He called for tax cuts for small businesses and increases for corporations that export jobs; greater investment in the nation’s infrastructure; and an education bill that would target community colleges, offer tax credits for collegians’ parents and extend student loan forgiveness. He also spoke of further investments in not only that infamous “green energy” — including biofuel, clean coal and most notably nuclear — but also in offshore oil and gas development, stating that a climate bill could not wait because “the nation that leads the clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy,

Steve Adams is a

graduate student in journalism and mass communication from Annapolis, Md.

and America must be that nation.”

Saving the best — or at least most heated issue — for last, Obama discussed health care reform. He both acknowledged his own strategic shortcomings and implored legislators to not look at the bill as a zero-sum game, but as an absolute necessity for the American people and the American economy.

Closely related, he stated that while he never thought his election would usher in “peace, harmony and a post-partisan era,” every vote on every issue could no longer be seen as a win or a loss for each side, and every day could not be regarded as election day.

Such a mindset frustrates Americans and sows division and distrust in them, he correctly asserted. He called on both parties to do what they were elected to do, and suggested that he would like to begin to hold monthly meetings with each party’s leadership.

Then the president uttered the ceremonial “God bless America” in closing a well-spoken but essentially uninspiring and unfocused speech.

After hearing the speech that night or reading the next day’s political commentary, one could not be blamed for believing that — as has become the unfortunate norm in politics — words would not be followed by actions, and little or nothing would change in D.C. Yet one would be wrong. Defying all conventions, the president did in fact follow up Wednesday night’s words with actions, but rather one grand, not to mention extremely smart, action. Specifically, he showed up at the House Republican Issues Conference in Baltimore, Md., on Friday — and he went for much more than the crab cakes.

While there, Obama not only took the blame for not living up to his promise of transparent health care negotiations and acknowledged the hurdle that Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s stubbornness can sometimes pose, but also displayed a familiarity with Republican proposals and perspectives that clearly surprised his questioners. Unlike the State of the Union, this was no one-way monologue.

Instead, Obama and mostly civil Republicans gave and took, productively discussing both the perils of the permanent campaign and the substantive differences of their parties and priorities.

What’s more, Republicans, to their credit,

opened up the encounter to cameras, allowing citizens to see what true political dialogue — so rare in today’s hostile halls of Capitol Hill — really looks like. Also a rarity, the procedure was lauded by media sources from both the left and the right: for example, the Washington Post and the National Review.

Perusing a few political message boards, citizens from both sides seemed to like what they saw as well. Not surprisingly, many selflabeled Democrats declared this the greatest thing since sliced bread and, much more surprisingly, most Republican commenters seemed to generally support the action, too.

“I would pay money to see more of this kind of actual debating in Washington,” wrote “Omnissiah” on www.theatlantic.com. “This 90 minutes was far more instructive and productive than the past [nine] months of health care battles. And I would think the same way even if Obama hadn’t run circles around the House Republicans.”

As “TycheSD” responded, “I have criticized Obama’s big government solutions all year, particularly on health reform, but at least he’s trying to tackle some of the big problems. I’m very encouraged that Obama took these guys on ... The people are ready to hear it.”

So perhaps Obama really does want a bipartisan government, and perhaps he can convince Congress to want it, too. More importantly, maybe it can really happen.

Although it was Sen. John McCain who proposed a question session between the president and Congress in the early days of his 2008 campaign — much like the one held each week between the prime minister and Parliament in Britain — there’s no reason why this shouldn’t be adopted as a requirement for each and every American president.

No, I’m not calling for an official constitutional amendment, but who could argue with setting such a tradition in support of the deliberative democracy on which this nation’s government was based?

Faulty accusations and statements from either party would be addressed and proven or disproved, while presidents would be forced to address lawmakers’ concerns by answering questions they would otherwise choose to ignore. No politician would dare miss the event, as doing so would make both their party and themselves look weak, and each party’s experts could intelligently debate the issue up for discussion. American citizens, for their part, would have the opportunity to be exposed to what would not only help them judge their representatives and their president, but also form rational opinions based on substantive debate.

I’d surely watch, wouldn’t you?

Psychology:

Consider your career heritage W

e often feel that our career choice is something that is completely up to us, but our choices are influenced by a variety of factors. Some of the strongest are the examples of jobs and work attitudes that we saw growing up.

How does your career heritage impact you?

When we talk about “career heritage,” we are referring to the impact our family and other adults have had on our views of work and career as we grew up.

From the time we are small children, we are aware of the world of work. We see our parents go off to work, we hear about their jobs, we see the impact their jobs have on them and we see the impact their jobs have on us. All of these examples are taken in, and as you start your own search for a career path, this all has a major impact on that process.

What do your parents do for a living? You probably have a lot

Mark Becker is a licensed psychologist and director of the Career Exploration Service.

more knowledge than you realize about the work your parents do.

You might be very familiar with the role of a teacher, or a farmer, or a surgeon because you grew up seeing it firsthand.

When we begin to explore possible jobs, these are often the places that people start. Do the jobs our parents have look appealing? Is that an area to explore further or does it sound horrible?

We can limit our exploration to a few narrow areas based on that exposure, to the possible elimination of options that might have been excellent, or we might completely eliminate entire fields that could be a good fit for us because we saw our parents have a difficult time in that area. Recognizing where our opinions about this come from can be helpful in separating what is really our opinion versus what is opinion that

has been colored by others.

Think about the impact it had on you when you saw the results of adult’s work while growing up.

If you saw your mother come home from work every day exhausted and miserable, what impression will you have about her job? Is this an area you will even consider, or will you run the opposite direction from this work? It is possible that there might be a lot about her job that could be a fit for you in the right situation, but with this negative impression you aren’t likely to even consider it?

You might have also had a very privileged lifestyle because your parents had careers with high incomes. You might be seeking out these same sorts of jobs whether they are a good fit for you or not, simply because you want to maintain that lifestyle

that you were raised with.

Think about the work ethic you were exposed to. Did your dad work 70 hour weeks, and this seems like a totally normal thing to you? Did he do freelance work from home, and was able to completely make his own schedule?

The impact that our career heritage has on us can be very powerful. The knowledge we gain about the world of work growing up is not bad; indeed, it can be a very powerful and helpful tool as we begin our own career search.

Just recognize these influences for what they are so that they inform your choice, rather than hijack it.

The Career Exploration Service is available to help you explore career options that best suit your skills, interests and values. To make an appointment, call 2945056 or stop by Career Exploration Service on the third floor of the Student Services Building.

General Motors

Intentions to sell Hummer line held for a month General Motors’ plan to sell the hulking, once-hot Hummer line to a Chinese heavy equipment maker has been delayed by a month, officials said Monday.

General Motors Co. and Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Corp. said they are extending the deadline to complete the transaction until Feb. 28 pending final approval by the Chinese government.

The previous deadline was Jan. 31 for a definitive agreement to sell the line once synonymous with America’s love for big offroad vehicles.

Hummer spokesman Nick Richards said the deal has cleared U.S. regulatory hurdles. He called it a complex agreement but said both companies are “optimistic the deal will be completed” by month’s end.

Sichuan Tengzhong said in a statement it’s cooperating with the approval process.

Financial terms weren’t disclosed, but Hummer has been estimated to be worth about $150 million.

GM’s bankruptcy filing last summer said that the brand with its born-in-the-military cachet could bring in at least $500 million.

Hummer hit the streets for civilian use in 1992 while owned

by AM General LLC, which makes Humvees for the U.S. Army.

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, now the governor of California, was among the first customers.

The brand, whose smallest model gets 16 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving, sold well until the middle portion of the previous decade when fuel prices first began to rise.

Sales peaked at 71,524 in 2006.

GM is selling Hummer to focus on core brands Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. GM signed a deal last week to sell its Saab brand to small Dutch automaker Spyker Cars NV for $74 million in cash plus $326 million worth of preferred shares in Saab.

It hinges on a $550 million loan from the European Investment Bank.

The sale came after an earlier attempt to sell Saab to another Swedish automaker fell through, and after GM’s bid to sell the Saturn brand also collapsed.

Club converts regular motorcycle to electric Students strip down Kawasaki bike in effort to go green, conserve costs

By Ben Sloan Daily Correspondent “Going green” has become a common term in many people’s vocabulary, and one club at Iowa State has decided to prove that going green can be simple and cost efficient.

The Environmental Tech Club has decided to undertake the project of converting a regular internal combustion engine motorcycle into a battery-powered equivalent, said Jacob Karasch, president of the club and junior in mechanical engineering.

The club started with a donated Kawasaki motorcycle and stripped it down, saving a large amount of parts that can be used again on the electric version. These parts include the frame, wheels, brakes and the plastic sheets that cover the outside of the bike. Karasch said that only a slight number of modifications would be needed to incorporate the new propulsion system.

The new system essentially consists of a bank of lead-acid batteries and an electric motor, Karasch said. The electric motor will provide a few advantages over the internal combustion engine, especially when it comes to initial acceleration.

Karasch said the electric motor provides much more initial torque, so the bike will quickly move toward its maximum speed of 35 mph.

Range is always an important factor with electric vehicles, and this bike’s will be around 20 miles. Although this figure is a shadow of the range of a gas-powered bike, their functions are completely different, Karasch said.

Business rises for Wilson Toyota following national vehicle recall

By Jeremiah Davis Daily Staff Writer Wilson Toyota of Ames suddenly got a lot busier with the announcement Monday from Toyota that they would officially be recalling 2.3 million cars and trucks.

The recall, which affects eight different models of Toyotas — including 2009–’10 Corollas and 2007–’10 Camrys — is to fix a problem with sticky gas pedals.

This has the employees of Wilson Toyota working around the clock to accommodate every customer’s needs throughout the duration of the recall process.

“We want to manage the customer’s concerns as best as

possible right now,” said Danny Wilson, general manager and vice president of Wilson Toyota.

“We want to give them as much understanding as we can about the whole situation.”

As of Monday, Toyota is sending letters out to those people with cars affected by the problem with the pedal.

The list of people getting letters that their car has been recalled is specific.

“There are only certain cars that are affected,” Wilson said.

“So if you have a Toyota that matches the make and model on the list and you do not get a letter saying it’s recalled, then you’re fine.”

The cars that are on the list were manufactured in the United States only, and Toyota has

found the source of the problem and corrected it, Wilson said.

Toyota has started shipping the necessary parts for fixing the gas pedals to the various dealerships across the country. Toyota has ceased production on brand new cars at their manufacturing facilities in order to accommodate the need for parts for the recall.

The quantity of parts, Wilson said, will not be the actual problem. It’s the mass numbers of customers that will be bringing their cars in for questions and repairs.

“We have a plan in place, and dedicated employees that have dedicated time to ensure this job gets done right,” Wilson said. “We’re affecting our customer’s perception, and we

want them to know it will get done as quickly as possible.”

Wilson pointed out that there will be absolutely no cost to the customer during the recall process.

“When it comes to safety issues, [Toyota] can’t handle the idea of making the consumer pay,” Wilson said.

So until the parts arrive, which is supposed to be the end of this week or beginning of the next, Wilson Toyota is simply trying to keep everyone involved informed of new developments.

“We’ll spend most of our time educating the consumer when they call,” Wilson said.

“Everything we have control of, we are trying to take care of it the right way.”

Dealers to receive pedal parts soon

By Ken Thomas and Tom Krisher Associated Press Writers

Since 1987

OPEN 24 HOURS

The electric motorcycle, or “ELMO,” is designed to be a commuter vehicle.

Karasch said the idea of a commuter vehicle has become popular recently because of the staggering increase in gas prices. Most people’s commute to work is under 20 miles, so someone could ride the ELMO to work, charge it while there and then ride the bike home and charge it for the next day.

Karasch brought up the topic of where this electricity will come from and spoke of a solution to eliminate the use of non-renewable resources in energy production. One goal for the bike is to eliminate the use of non-renewable resources in energy production.

The solution to charge the bike was off-grid charging, which is electricity production that comes from other sources than the plug in the wall, Karasch said. The club looked for multiple sustainable charging methods and initially settled on a wind turbine that attached to the rear of the motorcycle.

Xinwei Wang, associate professor of mechanical engineering, helped the club further these efforts because of his research in smallscale wind turbines.

Wang said small-scale wind turbines generate a lessened amount of power, but they do this at a much higher efficiency.

The club explored the technology to further be applied to the motorcycle, but more power needed to be generated than what was possible due to size constraints.

Other methods are now being researched, and Karasch said he is very confident that they will find the most effective power supply soon.

The Environmental Tech Club, or entech, is made up of a diverse group of students from many different majors. The club meets at 8 p.m. every Wednesday in Sweeney Hall. All students are welcome to attend.

Paul Shirley’s recent portrayal may not fairly represent the ISU alumnus’ views

By Chris Cuellar Daily Staff Writer

Editor’s note: This is the first part of a brief series about former ISU basketball player Paul Shirley and his basketball and life experiences. Shirley was notably fired from ESPN last week for comments in his personal blog.

He didn’t want 15 minutes of fame like this.

Paul Shirley stands at 6 feet 10 inches, so he’s used to standing out in a crowd.

He played on a Big 12 championship basketball team at Iowa State, and carried his skills to a professional basketball career and, more recently, a music blog that was featured on ESPN.com’s front page every week.

Earning a degree in mechanical engineering from Iowa State, scoring a 35 on his ACT and writing a humorous book about life inside basketball — those are reasons he should have gotten his time in the spotlight, not because of headlines like “Shirley hates Haiti.”

“With regard to the sen-

sationalism of our current time, it’s much easier to point fingers and then run away without actually following up on the real story,” Shirley said last Tuesday, before his personal blog post on Haiti’s earthquake management became national news. ESPN released Shirley last Wednesday, distancing themselves from his opinion and enabling the rumor mill.

Julie Flory, secretary and first-face of the ISU men’s basketball department since 1977, got an acknowledgment in Shirley’s 2007 book, “Can I Keep My Jersey?” and is one of the last remaining figures within the team since Shirley’s graduation in the spring of 2001.

While Flory disagreed with Shirley’s self-noted “minuscule minority” opinion in his Haiti post, she saw him almost daily for five years. She knows he didn’t want this.

“Paul is not like that. Paul is a loving kind-hearted guy.

When he writes and when he looks at things, Paul has kind of a natural way of looking at it a little more cock-eyed than you and I do,” Flory said. “Not on everything, but lots of things, and I think part of that is because he has got a lot of creative talent.”

Arriving in Ames in 1996, Shirley was an 18-year-old from Meriden, Kan., and came north for the opportunity to play with coach Tim Floyd. It aided the recruiting process that Paul qualified

for a full academic scholarship from his inclusion as a National Merit Finalist, and thus didn’t require an athletic scholarship.

Shirley camped out in the Maple-Willow-Larch complex of residence halls for the first two years of his ISU journey and majored in mechanical engineering while playing for the basketball team.

“After I got into mechanical engineering and looked around and saw that there weren’t any girls, I realized that I had potentially made a mistake with regard to my social future,” Shirley said.

Time management as an athlete is a vital skill on campus, and with a schedule that read like a gauntlet, Shirley forgot all about changing his social future.

“I didn’t have any fun because I was determined to not let myself have any fun,” Shirley said. “It was my own fault. I just exhausted myself with worrying about basketball and class.”

Flory has seen six different head coaches and as many staffs during her tenure in Ames, and she described Shirley as “an extremely hard worker and very self-motivated.”

After two seasons under Floyd and finally working his way into the starting lineup with an eight-point and sixrebound average, Floyd departed to the Chicago Bulls and Shirley was sent into an early form of his merce-

nary future. The scenery had changed heading into his third year under new coach Larry Eustachy, with a different direction and a move from a dorm to Campus Ave. “It’s a little bit more of a job than people realize, and especially when I was there,” Shirley said. “My life was pretty miserable under Larry Eustachy; under Tim Floyd it was perfectly acceptable.

“For Floyd, it was a stop along the way,” Shirley continued. “He had certain goals and kind of wanted to go on to the next thing, and I think

he has a little bit of ADD in that he kind of gets bored and wants to go along to the next challenge. I’ve always respected that.”

Redshirting his junior year gave him an adjustment period under Eustachy, and Shirley came back in his fourth year with only one start in his 29 games of action. He shot a strong 60 percent from the field, though.

The team finished 32–5, the highest win total in ISU history, and fell to the eventual

Women’s Basketball

Swimming & Diving

Endurance, sanity tested at midseason

Cyclones defeat UNO, fall to UNL

By Kayci Woodley Daily Staff Writer February has arrived, and with the midway point of the season lurking, the bodies and minds of the Cyclone women’s basketball players are put to the test.

“All of our kids have done a lot of good things that put us in a position that we’re in, but the hardest part is still ahead,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “And for a lot of them, the calendar in their bodies is telling them the season is about over, and it’s far from over.”

With over a month until the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, the team still has a long road ahead. Freshmen may be used to a season ending after 20 games and three months of practice, while seniors are handling the impacts of four years as Division I players.

“I think some players [can feel it] physically in their bodies, especially younger players who have not gone through the rigors of a college season,” Fennelly said. “There’s a lot of things that can cycle through in their minds as to why things aren’t going well.”

Recently, signs of fatigue and flaws in mental decisions on the court were made in Iowa State’s loss to Kansas State on Sunday.

A lack of aggressiveness in the post accounted for some Cyclone defensive mishaps, as the Wildcats slowed down many possessions, running the shot clock down to the final seconds and getting multiple opportunities from offensive rebounds.

“I think the biggest disappointment for us [Sunday] was defensively we were not as locked in on the scouting report to the things that have allowed us to be successful,” Fennelly said. “The attention to detail that we discuss all the time was not there.”

In Manhattan, Kansas State forward Ashley Sweat did exactly what Iowa State had expected. Despite the Cyclones’ preparation for her, Sweat went off for 31

By Kasey Sutherland Daily Staff Writer After spending the weekend in Nebraska, the ISU women’s swimming and diving teams returned home with one victory and one loss.

Friday’s competition against the University of NebraskaOmaha resulted in an 80–55 victory for the Cyclones.

Saturday, the women traveled into a hostile senior-day environment at Nebraska’s Devaney Center pool and fell just short of a victory after winning seven of the 16 events.

The Cyclones were without senior diving standout Tien Tran and key swimmer Lindsey Behrens due to illness.

The short-handed Cyclones received help from Nan Liu, who swam her first 200 butterfly for the Cyclones, recording a win and the third-fastest time in school history. Liu continued her contributions by swimming in the winning 200-yard medley relay with Abby Glaser, Frances Calzada and Jeli Nixt.

The junior Nixt came home first in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:04.44 to earn the team nine points.

Chelsea Tomek and Danielle Harris finished one-two for the Cyclones in the 200 backstroke to help the team’s score.

On the diving side, junior Abby Christensen provided a spark for the Cyclones as she earned second place in the 1-meter dive and a victory in the 3-meter dive with a career best score of 254.7, earning herself a qualifying spot at the NCAA Zone Diving Championships in March.

The Cyclones will return to Beyer Pool this weekend for senior day against Kansas. The meet begins at 6 p.m. Friday.

Resolution-friendly Super Bowl ideas ■■

■■

While Super Bowl parties are commonly adorned with traditional snacks — such as pizza, hot wings and beer — there are plenty of healthy alternatives available that will satisfy party-goers and appeal to the healthiest of guests. Courtesy photo: Thinkstock

By Justine Mattiussi and Gina Garrett AmesEats Flavors writers You made the New Year’s resolutions to eat healthy and decided this year is the year to stick to them. But just like last year, things come up, including the Super Bowl.

Luckily, you can have a good time, eat good food and stick to your New Year’s resolutions.

We’ve created a simple menu of things to serve at a Super Bowl XLIV get-together.

Before heading to the grocery store, here are some general tips for success: ■■

First: Remember to focus on the guests at the party and having fun;

■■

■■

don’t hang out by the food table.

Second: Get some extra exercise Super Bowl Sunday.

Last: Carry a water bottle with you. It keeps your hands busy, keeps you hydrated and makes you feel fuller. Take it one step farther and add water bottles to your cooler or ice bucket; your guests will be grateful.

Now, for the plan:

Munchies: ■■ Vegetable tray with low calorie dip ■■ Pumpernickel or honey

wheat pretzel sticks with honey mustard for dipping Tiny Dixie cups, for portion control, filled with homemade trail mix: almonds — or any other healthy nut — dried cranberries, dried apricots and maybe a few chocolate chips thrown in.

Layered Mexican dip: Layer a little guacamole, light sour cream, salsa and fat-free refried beans in a dish. Serve cold with tortilla chips in portioncontrolled plastic cups, about 10 in each cup.

Not only does this help your guests eat less, but it’s also more sanitary.

Appetizers: ■■ Veggie spiral wraps: Spread a plain or flavored wrap thinly with light cream cheese or hummus. Lightly top with fresh spinach, chopped tomatoes, shredded carrots and whatever you like, but be careful not to overload. Tightly wrap and slice into 1-inch servings.

■■ Meatless meatballs: Find them in the freezer section. They are lower in calories and fat than real hamburger, and you can have a chuckle when your guests don’t notice the swap. Heat them in the oven or microwave and top with teriyaki sauce from a jar. Serve with toothpicks.

■■

Angel food cake: It’s fat free and has fewer calories than some other desserts. Bake or buy an angel food cake, then top with sliced strawberries or drained mandarin oranges, and drizzle on a tiny bit of chocolate syrup for pizzazz.

Alternative Beverage: ■■ Mocktail: Use 1 ounce of your favorite bottle juice — such as peach, orange or pomegran-

ate — with 1 ounce of club soda and a splash of lemonade; shake and pour over ice with a lemon wedge as a garnish. Only 34 calories, so enjoy!

Other party essentials: Purchase plastic or reusable cups, plates, spoons, forks and napkins, as well as a 5- or 25-pound bag of ice, depending on your party size. Remember: Keep hot foods hot and cold

foods cold for health purposes, especially if the game goes into overtime.

These tips and tricks will keep your guests full and happy, yet healthy while maintaining New Year’s resolutions.

Remember to have fun rooting on your favorite team and stay hydrated to avoid any unintentional hangovers the next morning.

Celebrate in a big way while dishing out less dough

There are cost-efficient ways that hosts can go about planning their parties. Some of these include using coupons and making your own food, rather than buying pre-made. Courtesy photo: Thinkstock

By Morgan Zimmerman Daily Staff Writer We spoke to Daniel Stockman — a recent Kansas Univer-

sity graduate, financial counselor and football enthusiast — on how he plans on combining his passions and hosting a budgetfriendly party this Super Bowl

Sunday. Follow these tips for a cost-friendly bash.

- Clip out those coupons.

Grocery stores will be having lots of sales and promotions for Super Bowl Sunday. “Fifty cents or a dollar may not seem like much initially, but if you use them frequently or are making a big purchase, the savings add up,” Stockman said.

- Host your party potluck style: There’s no need to feel obligated to supply everything at the party. Split up categories and ask your guest to each bring something big enough for the group.

- Collaborate: Chances are you’re not the only one throwing a Super Bowl party; ask around and join parties to cut down on the hassle and the cost.

- Get it in bulk: “While it may not be efficient for your everyday life, buying in bulk for a large event is definitely the way to go,” Stockman said. Don’t have a club membership? No problem, either ask around for someone

you know who does, and if you can’t find anyone, many private grocers offer one-time passes for a small fee.

-Get in the kitchen and make it yourself: Pre-packaged party platters can get pretty pricey, with meat and veggie

your guests, picking up a keg could be a lucrative option. Let your guests know ahead of time that the beer will be provided for $5 a cup. Not only will you drink for less but you may even make a few bucks back on your investment.

trays going for upwards of $20.

It’s definitely worth the time to pick up the individual ingredients and put something together yourself.

- Don’t forget, everyone likes a keg: Depending on the size of your party or enthusiasm of

Two classmates were chatting in their lunch

“I know how to get money real quick,” says one,

“How?” “Go to your dad and say, ‘I know the truth’” and

he’ll give you money.”

So the young boy went home and said “Dad, I

know the truth!”

His dad gave him ten dollars and told him not to

tell anyone ‘the truth’.

He then went to his mother, “Mom, I know the

truth!” he said.

“Please don’t tell your dad,” she said and gave

him twenty dollars.

Content with thirty dollars he went outside to go

to the arcade and saw the milkman. “I

The milkman replied, “Well come and hug your

Texas trip re-exposes team to outdoor play

By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer The ISU tennis team caught its first glimpse of outdoor tennis since October with a pair of matches in Jacksonville, Fla., this weekend. After holding practices in the Ames Racquet and Fitness Center for the past four months, the Cyclones were welcomed by 70-degree temperatures when they arrived Thursday.

“The weather was definitely a relief for the girls,” said coach Armando Espinosa. “It wasn’t extremely warm, but it was warmer than [in Ames].”

After two practices Thursday, the Cyclones prepared to take on University of Texas-El Espinosa Paso, who would be playing in its first dual match of the season.

The Cyclones made quick work of the Miners as they were victorious in all but one match, picking up the first ISU victory of the season, 6–1.

“We felt pretty good coming out; playing outdoors certainly didn’t phase us and it was great,”

champion, the Michigan State Spartans.

“It was a great experience in that I got to meet really cool people, and it was really cool that people in Iowa knew who I was, knew who we were, in those days of winning basketball games,” Shirley said. “But it was juxtaposed with those days of getting screamed at on a daily basis and feeling like I wasn’t worthwhile as a human being unless I did my coach’s bidding.”

And this is what takes us back to Haiti. Not literally, but with only bits and pieces of Shirley’s words and thoughts, not everything fits together. There is a complete thought to the ramblings that take two minutes to vent, but, like his

ing contacts at Iowa State is made up of Flory and Dr. Tom Greenwald, an orthopedic surgeon that has operated on the power forward three times.

Shirley recommends Hickory Park as his dining pleasure, like most locals and passerby. He says he brought it to his parents after his last Ames visit.

For a man described as a bigot, racist and privileged jerk — just search recent news with his name — that seems like an incredibly normal thing to do.

It seems more than plausible that he’s sitting down two tables away enjoying mashed potatoes and talking about the latest rock concert than leading a eugenics rally.

An exceptional everyman? Perhaps.

But it’s a good thing he tries to think of the big picture, because Paul Shirley is 6 foot 10 inches tall and he probably doesn’t fit inside a stereotyped frame.

points on the day, making it seem as though the Cyclones hadn’t prepared at all for the versatile senior.

“We kind of had a breakdown. We have to follow the scouting report, and I think we kind of didn’t have our attention to detail, what coach Fennelly always says, and I think we just [have] to get back to the basics,” said freshman guard Jessica Schroll. “Sometimes we have a lack of focus, and we don’t necessarily follow that to the point and that’s what we have to do.”

With their eighth game of the conference season Wednesday against Texas Tech, the Cyclones are at the point of no return, with a record of 5–3 or 4–4 in conference on the line.

“There’s a lot of teams in this country right now that are playing in February because their school says they have to finish the schedule,” Fennelly said. “We’re 16–4, and there’s a lot of things to play for.”

After a Sunday game and returning home later than usual, the Cyclones have a quick turnaround for Wednesday’s game.

With just two days of practice, Fennelly plans to stick to more strategy and preparation and stay away from intense basketball for each practice.

“We don’t go hard the whole time like we did at the beginning of the season, so now it’s come to where we should know the plays, we should know the defenses, so it’s just perfecting it,” said senior guard Denae Stuckey.

“I felt like the momentum of the match could have changed if we would have won the doubles,” Espinosa said.

Despite the loss, Espinosa believed the trip was valuable for the team as the Cyclones were not only able to play outdoors, but were able to see a pair of teams that spend their practice time outside.

“We’re an indoor team, and now we know the advantage for the [Big 12 teams] in Texas,” Espinosa said.

Next up for the Cyclones (1–2) will be a trip south to Des Moines to take on the Drake Bulldogs (0–2) at 5 p.m. Friday.

of the score was deceiving and that his team didn’t catch many breaks Sunday.

“If you look at the scores, it could have been 4–3, 3–4 or even 7–0 [in favor of ISU],” Espinosa said. “[The score] doesn’t really reflect what went on on the court.”

The doubles pair of Wischer and Palen defeated North Florida’s Melanie Aguirre and Victoria Krook 8–6 for the Cyclones’ lone victory. Unfortunately, a 9–8 (7–4) tiebreaker loss by Karonis and Langhorst left the team out of contention for the doubles point and set the tone for the rest of the match.

roundings.

You can get those observations and stories in his book. But person to person, his experience in and after college gets more interesting than the typical ISU student, and what Shirley tries to do is make them relative to whoever is occupying his old stomping grounds.

“College goes by pretty fast; and I think when you’re in the midst of it, it’s hard to step back and say, ‘This is pretty cool — what I’ve done here is worth enjoying, and I’m not going to worry so much about what the coach is saying or what fans are saying or what radio people are saying,’” Shirley said. “I would tell everybody to try to be driven but also enjoy the fruits of their labors more than I did.”

Ames would not be a goal location or final stop for the wide-sighted Shirley, and his list of current correspond-

five of the six singles points for the match.

The team was hoping to enjoy a day off Saturday with a day in the sun, but the weather did not cooperate. Windy and rainy conditions stranded the team in their hotel the entire day, deterring its plan to have practice.

Instead, Iowa State got its practice in Sunday, only 30 minutes before the start of its match with North Florida.

With an hour postponement and continually balmy conditions playing a factor in the match, the Cyclones were shut out by the Ospreys 7–0. Espinosa believed the appearance

His final season was his most productive, starting all 31 games and averaging 10 points and seven rebounds per contest. The team finished 25–6, but with the departure of NBAbound Marcus Fizer, lost to the No. 15seed Hampton Pirates in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

The appeal of Shirley’s order and knowledge of things is the transparency and accessibility his writing provides into the “inside” of basketball life. Hearing him tell how Floyd was forced to explain what a screen was to a naive Fizer, or the fragility of Eustachy’s emotional state, it leaves you feeling like your ear has just been pressed up against your parents’ door. It comes from his willingness to share, but also the complex awareness of simple things in his sur-

book, it comes to an end and the puzzle fits together.

It may not look like the picture on the front of the box, but conversing with Shirley for longer than those two minutes leaves you understanding that an alternative is suitable.

“Again, that stuff is really hard to describe to people, because they say, ‘What are you complaining about, I would give anything to have been in your shoes.’ But if they really were in those shoes, they probably would not have made it, or they probably wouldn’t have enjoyed themselves,” Shirley said.

“That just doesn’t work, just coming out of the stands and playing college basketball. There’s a lot of stuff that goes into it.”

Espinosa said.

In doubles, junior Erin Karonis and freshman Jenna Langhorst earned their second victories of the season with an 8–5 win over Carolina DeLuca and Martina Trierweiler. The sophomore pairing of Maria Fernanda Macedo and Tessa Lang won 8–3, and the regionally-ranked duo of junior Liza Wischer and senior Alyssa Palen won its first match of the season, 8–3, after not playing in the Cyclones season-opening loss at Minnesota.

Iowa State did not lose a set in each of its five singles victories as Karonis, Macedo, Lang, Langhorst and Wischer earned
