Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2010

An unknown illness

Ailments’ variations lack public regard, prove to be common

By Jody Korthaus Daily Staff Writer

Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating are all eating disorders that are the most commonly known and most heard of. But there is a fourth category, a littleRoling known one that isn’t so clear-cut, categorized and precise.

Eating disorders not otherwise specified would be the name of this fourth category and possibly are the most dangerous of them all.

Those that suffer from EDNOS are people who are struggling, but don’t meet the criteria of the other three.

Student overcomes struggle with illness, control, self-esteem Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series about Amanda Hornsby, who has survived a battle with anorexia.

By Chelsea Davis Daily Staff Writer Standing tall at 5-feet-8-inches and 113 pounds, it’s hard to believe she weighed only 86 pounds seven years ago.

But this is reality for Amanda Hornsby, senior in psychology and criminal justice.

From the ages of 13 until 17, she suffered from restrictive-anorexia nervosa, type one, where she restricted her food intake.

“My household was very loving, but my dad was the head control of the house, so I didn’t have a lot of control over things; and one night at dinner I took a second helping of whatever we were having and he said jokingly, ‘Do you think you really need that?’”

Speaker discusses battle with internal demons, process of recovery, life after disease

By Angela Christianson Daily Staff Writer The first rows of the Great Hall of the Memorial Union were filled with sorority sisters from Kappa Kappa Gamma, who came in support of Emily Fischer, an ISU alum, that lost her life to an eating disorder. Her parents were also there to accept a gracious thank you for their support to Eating Disorder Awareness.

Jenni Schaefer, who has been a guest on Dr. Phil McGraw’s TV show and published two books, spoke at Iowa State two years ago about her disorder and was impressed with the turnout Monday night. She explained that she would not be talking much about her sickness this time, but how she went beyond recovery to get better.

While holding a bright yellow dance costume, Schaefer described the first time she heard her eating disorder talk to her. She was 4 years old, performing in a recital and felt that she did not look like the other girls, that she was not good enough. This voice that she later named Ed in therapy stayed with her for nearly 20 years. When she graduated from college she was accepted to medical school, but was unable to attend because her eating disorder made her too sick. She moved to Nashville instead to sing and try to escape Ed. The move did the exact

opposite of what Schaefer thought it would: It took complete control of her life and she didn’t want to live anymore if she had to live with the disorder.

“I decided to tell my boyfriend [about my disorder]; he was the person I trusted the most,” Schaefer said. “I put an eating disorder brochure under my couch and invited him over. I asked him to look under my couch while I hid in my bedroom. He found it and saw me crying and put two and two together.”

She continued to explain that she was so grateful to have his support, love and understanding.

Schaefer spent many years in recovery with dieticians, therapists and support groups. It was in this therapy that she recognized her eating disorder as a separate voice and named it Ed. “My therapist pulled up an empty chair and told me to imagine that my eating disorder was sitting in it,” Schaefer said. “I was supposed to talk to it and tell it how I felt. At that point, I thought my therapist needed a lot more help than I did.”

This activity ended up helping her immensely; she did this activity with other issues she had as well. “The room was crowded with furniture for all the voices in my head,” she told the audience. “[Ed and I] don’t talk anymore. I don’t hear that voice anymore,” Schaefer said, but the recovery was not short or easy for her.

She was in a stage she referred to as mediocre re-

covery for a while. She still restricted herself and was terrified to go out to eat with friends. She compared it to a recovering alcoholic having “just one beer.”

“You can only recover if you do it all the way. You can be completely free. You can,” Schaefer encouraged. “It was miserable at times, but when I felt the lowest, that was often when I was doing the best.”

A big part of Schaefer’s disorder was her perfectionism. She had to learn to have fun for the sake of having fun and to use perfectionism in a good way.

“Perfection does not exist,” Schaefer said. “We cannot achieve it ... That’s the problem.”

She learned to set limits on herself and put the trait to good use, such as editing her two books. Another important lesson she learned was that time spent with family and friends is some of the most productive time she could have.

“Negative body image was like prison; I replaced it with positive life experiences,” Schaefer said.

She told a story about one of her first “positive life experiences” after her recovery. She was rock climbing in Alaska and could not wear long or baggy pants, she had to wear tight shorts and a harness.

“As I started climbing the mountain, I stopped worrying about looking fat,” Schaefer said. “I was thinking about falling off the cliff and appreciated the strength of my arms and legs. That felt so freeing and amazing. I got to the top.”

Student’s singing entertains

Google Fiber bid subject of vote

By Taysha Murtaugh Daily Correspondent He steps out into the frigid February air wearing a green and gold letterman’s jacket. Slipping in his earbuds, he scrolls to his favorite playlist and presses the center button on his iPod. In a moment, Journey’s lyrics, which he knows so well, drown out the bustling students around him. He marches through Central Campus, opens his mouth and begins to belt, “Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world...”

Those he passes turn their heads. Some are puzzled, others amused, still others annoyed. One thing is for certain: Mitchell Nieland is causing quite a stir.

“It’s really hard for me to hear a song that I know and not sing it,” said Nieland, sophomore in meteorology and performing arts.

So, he sings. He has caught the attention of ISU students, who submit comments to the Iowa State Daily’s “Just Sayin’” column as well as the Facebook pages “Just Sayin’ — Iowa State” and “Overheard at ISU.” Now, he has a Facebook group dedicated to him, “WHO IS THAT SINGING SENSATION @ ISU?!?!?!?!?”

Nieland loves music and said he began his unique hobby last semester “to warm up my voice in the morning.”

“I was walking to class last semester on a Friday and he was singing ‘Eye of the Tiger,’” said the Facebook group’s creator, Anthony Davis, junior in kinesiology and health. “It was kind of one of those ‘mademy-day’ moments.”

The phrase, “You made my day!” is one commonly attributed to Nieland’s singing in “Just Sayin’” and the Facebook pages.

“It shows that doing something simple can make other people feel really good,” Nieland said.

It was comments like this from many people that prompted Davis to create the

The Ames City Council will vote Tuesday to authorize city staff to submit a statement of interests to be part of an experimental trial of the Google Fiber network. Submissions are due March 26.

If the motion to allow city staff to begin the application process is passed, the council will encourage Ames residents to show support of the initiative.

Steve Schainker wrote in a memo to the City Council that other Internet providers in Ames might question why the council would favor one company over another.

Schainker mentioned that council members should support public awareness efforts to ensure the community is aware of the initiative and what it could mean for the city if it is selected.

The council will also vote on what action it will take regarding the library expansion project. It

will need to approve a request from the Library Board of Trustees for an amendment that permits up to $68,000 of funding from library capital improvements funds to enlist a consulting group.

The Library Board of Trustees requested funding for a consulting group in order to determine the fundraising potential of this endeavor, according to a council action form.

The city of Ames was awarded $8,463,000 in TIGER grant funds to support the proposed Intermodal Facility in Campustown.

In an additional memo to the council, Schainker noted that there were more then 1,400 applications submitted to receive this grant, and Ames was one of the two cities in Iowa to be selected.

Schainker will deliver the memo at Tuesday’s meeting and will recognize the efforts of the congress members who helped Ames secure the exclusive funding.

Criminal Justice Club

Students ‘ride along’ with Des Moines cops

By Chelsea Davis Daily Staff Writer Hands-on experience with a police officer can be the high point of a criminal justice major’s college experience.

The ISU Criminal Justice Club has teamed up with the Des Moines Police Department to form the Ride Along Program, in which students are able to literally ride along with an officer during his or her shift.

“It gives you the real image of what law enforcement is on the streets,” said Tedde Madison, senior in interdisciplinary studies and president of the club. “It was an eye-opener, but very motivating. It made me realize this is what I want to do.”

Madison has been on several ride alongs, the most prominent being her first couple.

“My first one, around the end of 2008, was with a younger woman who let me out of the car,” Madison said.

“There was a stabbing in Des Moines.

We were looking for the man around

the neighborhood and finally found him nearby. He had stabbed his friend in the temple.”

On another ride along Madison was Madison involved in another stabbing case.

“I was with a male officer. A 6-month-old was being held by her mom, who had a confrontation with an intoxicated male,” Madison said.

“He went to stab the mother and ended up stabbing them both. The baby survived, though. We went after him and got him.”

Madison said the major is important, especially in these economic times.

“Crime is increasing,” Madison said.

“We’re surrounded by it. It’s a problem that’s not going to go away.”

The program gives students the chance to get out of the day-to-day humdrum of sitting in classrooms.

“Schoolwork gets monotonous,

Next meeting Wednesday – meeting at 6:30 p.m. at 119 East Hall. ISU officer Derek Doebel will be coming to discuss defensive tactics. Anyone and everyone welcome; free pizza and pop will be available.

and I lose interest if I’m not out there and active,” Madison said.

Looking at the criminal justice field as a competition and graduating with so many other students, the ride-along experience or experience in the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy scenarios puts students ahead, Madison said.

Students are also able to make connections with law enforcement and begin networking.

Madison is also putting herself ahead of the pack with three jobs in law enforcement. She is a community safety officer for the Ames Police Department, a student officer for the ISU Police Department and a reserve officer for the Perry Police Department.

Besides the Ride Along Program, the club takes biannual tours of prisons.

Madison recalls a time when the club visited Mitchellville Prison, the Iowa

Biofuel Research

Funding allows communication

By Sarah Gonzalez Daily Staff Writer Communication may be the biggest problem for students interested in advanced biofuel research, some ISU professors are saying.

A research effort funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and hosted by Ames Laboratory and Iowa State could give the students the opportunity to communicate and collaborate with other people of multiple science backgrounds.

Victor Lin, professor of chemistry and team leader for the $5.3 million study of biodiesel production from algae, wants students to step out of their comfort zones.

“Understanding and appreciation is all good, but at some point you still have to be able to communicate,” he said.

The mission of Lin’s research

group is to convert algae into advanced biofuels.

It provides an opportunity for people Lin of multiple science disciplines to converge toward a common goal, which Lin says is important for students to experience.

“We could actually offer some insight or some angle that may be not so obvious with people in other disciplines,” Lin said.

Another research team at Iowa State will be led by Robert C. Brown, distinguished professor of mechanical engineering.

This team will receive $2.7 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to study the conversion of biomass to fuel.

Terrence Meyer, assistant

professor of mechanical engineering, contributes by developing a process that “cleans up” the bio oil to improve its stability.

Meyer said that his research often comes up in some of his classes, including combustion and fluid dynamics. He encourages his students to realize that biofuel research requires them to study things that are not yet understood.

“So many things nowadays can be looked up on Wikipedia,” he said.

However, the study of biofuels is an area of active research, which makes it not as well established as other industries.

“What they hear on the news is generally not keeping up with what we’re learning in the laboratory,” he said.

This may be the result of people feeling disconnected with certain areas of science, as Lin believes.

The research projects at Iowa State give students the opportunity to improve communication between different science disciplines, which may help improve communication between scientific research teams and the media.

It is easy for students to worry that they will focus on the wrong area of study in such a fast-paced, changing society.

“Something that tremendously hot and popular may become obsolete,” Lin said.

However, unique biofuel research projects like those at Iowa State are blurring the boundaries between scientific disciplines.

If students and other researchers can explore new areas of study while providing their own specialized insight, it can “minimize the challenge and make the whole approach more realistic,” Lin said.

Correctional Institution for Women.

“We can ask anything — what their sentence is, what they’ll do when they get out. But they didn’t realize we were a criminal justice club,” Madison said. “When they started talking, some said they would re-offend; one said she would murder again to be back in prison.”

These experiences have showed Madison what life will be like in the field, no matter how intense they were.

“That’s just the way it is,” Madison said.

The club meets every other Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at 119 East Hall. Dues are $10 per semester and students of any major can come. At every meeting, different law enforcement officials come to talk to the club. In the past the club has had visits from FBI agents, U.S. marshals, Department of Criminal Investigation agents and local officials.

Students who have questions can e-mail Madison at tmadison@iastate. edu.

SENSATION from PAGE 1

“Singing Sensation” Facebook group.

“It started out as a joke,” Davis said. “We didn’t think we were going to find him.”

Now with 310 members, the group has identified the “singing sensation.”

Nieland said when a friend told him about the group, he was “quite blown away by it, because in high school I was never the popular kid, ever ...

But I will say it does make me feel really good that people are paying attention to me for something I enjoy doing.”

This attention isn’t always positive, however, as people have also complained and even made fun of him. One comment referred to Nieland’s public singing as “socially unacceptable behavior.”

Davis disagreed.

“There’s a lot of socially unacceptable stuff, but as long as he’s having fun ... and people are liking it, it’s OK,” Davis said.

“The first time I saw him I was like, ‘Oh, that’s little weird,’” Davis said. “But it’s one of those things that gets funnier every time, because you realize he’s not doing it on accident. He’s kind of singing at the top of his lungs on purpose.”

Despite the aversion, Nieland said he’s going to continue to sing because he enjoys it.

“I’ve had situations like that in high school,” Nieland said. “But I’ve learned to ignore those people, because I’m going to do what I want to do. I’m not going to care what other people think of me. I’m going to do my own thing.”

Nieland, who is now accepting requests on the Facebook group’s page, says he sings because of his passion for music. He was involved with choir and band at Woodward-Granger, his high school, and he’s currently considering changing his major to music education. He also plans to eventually pursue his dream job: professional acting.

State Briefs

Amendment allows increased inspection of breeding facilities

DES MOINES — The Iowa Senate has passed an amendment to a measure that would increase inspections of animal breeding operations in order to cut down on abuses.

The Senate overwhelmingly approved the plan Monday on a 41–9 vote, sending it to Gov. Chet Culver’s desk.

The amendment reverses an earlier version of the bill that required veterinarians to report animal abuse, neglect and torture.

Veterinarians previously lobbied the House to remove the requirement from the bill, citing unwanted liability for the lives of the animals.

The bill would increase the annual cost of licenses for animal facilities, including breeders, pet shops and shelters. The fee would be on a sliding scale, with commercial breeders paying the highest rate of $175 annually.

Psychiatrist deems Mark Becker insane ALLISON — A Cleveland psychiatrist says a man charged with killing an Iowa football coach was insane at the time of the shooting.

Dr. Phillip Resnick was hired by the defense team for 24-year-old Mark Becker, on trial for first-degree murder in the killing of Ed Thomas last June.

Resnick testified Monday that Becker is a paranoid schizophrenic, a diagnosis he based on part on four delusions Becker had when he shot Thomas at AplingtonParkersburg High School.

Resnick says Becker believed Thomas was “literally Satan,” that he thought Thomas wasn’t a human being, that he didn’t understand the consequences of shooting Thomas, and that Becker believed he was “freeing children” by killing Thomas.

Becker has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

Iowa Department of Economic Development spokeswoman Kay Snyder confirmed Monday that Jeff Rossate, an administrator for business development, and Amy E. Johnson, the coordinator of the business development division, are no longer employees of the department.

Both have been involved in the state film office, which has been beset with claims of mismanagement, but Snyder wouldn’t comment on any connection between those problems and the fact they no longer work at the agency.

Raw milk enters debates Argument states that pasteurization depletes milk’s nutrients, enzymes

By Michael J. Crumb Associated Press Writer DES MOINES — Debate about the health attributes and risks of raw milk is spilling into statehouses and courtrooms across the country as proponents of unpasteurized dairy products push to make them easier for consumers to buy.

Supporters of the raw milk cause say pasteurization, the process of heating milk to destroy bacteria and extend shelf life, destroys important nutrients and enzymes.

“We have new science today that shows raw milk contains ... enzymes that kill pathogens and strengthens the immune system,” said Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Washington D.C.-based Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit group pushing for increased access to raw milk.

Enzymes and other nutrients are “greatly reduced in pasteurized milk,” she said.

Public health officials disagree, saying raw milk carries an increased risk for bacterial contamination that can lead to illness and even death.

More than 1,500 people became ill from drinking raw milk between 1993 and 2006, the most recent data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, 185 were hospitalized and two died.

The CDC said not all foodborne illnesses are reported, meaning the actual number is likely higher.

Fallon Morell said there also have been illnesses and deaths related to pasteurized products and that linking illnesses to raw milk is not an accurate assessment of the nutritional benefits of drinking unpasteurized milk.

The sale of raw milk is prohibited in 23 states, although seven of them let people get milk through so-called herdshare programs, in which customers can buy ownership in a cow in return for raw milk from the animal.

Retail sales of raw milk is allowed in nine states and 19 allow the sale of raw milk from a farm directly to an individual.

Lawmakers in seven states — Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming — have introduced measures this year seeking to change laws governing raw milk.

The Falls Church, Va.- based Farmer to Consumer Legal Defense Fund also has filed lawsuits in California, Iowa, Missouri, New York and Wisconsin challenging various aspects of states’ laws regarding raw milk.

The Iowa lawsuit filed last month chal-

lenged the state’s ban on herdshare agreements.

“The Iowa Department of Agriculture contends this type of arrangement is illegal. Our position is that it is legal,” said Pete Kennedy, president of the Farmer to Consumer group.

He said the state’s law contradicts common sense.

“The farmer can drink milk from cows at the farm, so why can’t someone with an ownership or interest in that cow drink milk from those animals?” Kennedy said.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said in a statement that state officials “feel we have acted within our authority under Iowa code ... in this situation.”

The issues in other states include testing requirements and delivery methods for raw milk, and herdshare agreements.

The Iowa legislation, which died in a committee, would have allowed the sale of raw milk from a farmer directly to customers.

Supporters said they won’t give up.

“I think there are a number of people out there interested in having access to unprocessed milk, so I think it’s time for Iowa to allow that access somehow,” said Tom German, a livestock farmer near Holstein, Iowa, who has two dairy cows that produce milk for his family.

Nick Wallace, a livestock farmer near Keystone, Iowa, said the state’s ban on raw milk sales infringe on consumers’ rights.

“We feel it’s a consumer’s right to put what we want in our bodies and if we want to contract with a farmer who sells raw milk we should be able to buy it,” Wallace said.

He said with or without a change in law, people will find a way to get raw milk if they want it.

“There’s already people doing it, they’re just doing it under the cover of darkness,” Wallace said.

Those arguments don’t fly with public health officials.

“With raw milk the concern is it can be contaminated and it provides a good environment for bacteria to grow to high levels, which increases the chance it can make people sick,” said Dr. Ann Garvey, the state public health veterinarian with the Iowa Department of Public Health.

Garvey, along with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, support pasteurization and claim the process doesn’t significantly change the nutritional content of milk.

“It’s the measure taken to ensure what we’re consuming is safe and free from pathogens,” Garvey said.

But raw milk advocates said governments should step out of the way and let people buy products they want.

Fallon Morell, of the Weston A. Price Foundation, notes Amish farmers in Pennsylvania are “making a fortune” selling raw milk to people in New Jersey and Washington, D.C., which don’t allow such sales.

Wallace, one of the Iowa farmers, concedes it’s a complex and polarizing issue.

“There’s a million reasons why you should and shouldn’t drink it but it boils down to personal rights,” he said.

Terrorism

Aircraft pilot’s Zazi prepares to plea guilty daughter proud

By Adam Goldman and Tom Hays Associated Press Writers

AUSTIN, Texas — The daughter of a man who crashed his small plane into a building housing offices of the Internal Revenue Service called her father a hero for his anti-government views but said his actions, were “inappropriate.”

Joe Stack’s daughter, Samantha Bell, spoke to ABC’s “Good Morning America” from her home in Norway. Asked during an interview broadcast Monday if she considered her father a hero, she said: “Yes. Because now maybe people will listen.”

Authorities say Stack, 53, targeted the IRS office building in Austin on Thursday, killing employee Vernon Hunter and himself, after posting a ranting manifesto against the agency and the government. He appar-

Lawsuit

Student asks for evidence security

By Maryclaire Dale Associated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA — A student who accused his suburban Philadelphia school district in a lawsuit of spying on students via their school-issued webcams will ask district officials not to remove any potential evidence from student computers.

Lawyers for the Lower Merion School District are due in federal court on the issue Monday afternoon, on an emergency petition from student Blake Robbins of Penn Valley.

Lower Merion officials confirmed last week they had activated the webcams to find 42 missing or stolen laptops, without the knowledge or permission of students and their families.

Both the FBI and local authorities are investigating whether the district broke any wiretap, computer-use or other laws.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a brief in support of the student Monday, arguing that the photo amounts to an illegal search.

“That school officials’ warrantless, non-consensual use of a camera, embedded in students’ laptops, inside the home is a search cannot be doubted,” the ACLU wrote in a brief filed Monday morning.

Students at the district’s two high schools have taken to taping over the webcam and microphone, even as school officials insist they have stopped the practice.

Robbins sued last week, alleging that Harriton High School officials took a photo of him inside his home.

He learned of it when an assistant principal said she knew he was engaging in improper behavior at home, according to his potentially class-action lawsuit.

In the wake of the outcry over the allegations, school district officials have said they have abandoned the practice of remotely activating the webcams.

Still, the Robbinses’ lawyer does not want the district to remove any information or programs from the 2,300 laptops issued to students at its two high schools.

“Defendants intend to reclaim each laptop from the possession of members of the class for the purpose of wiping clean the hard drive or otherwise engaging in the spoliation of evidence,” family lawyer Mark S. Haltzman wrote in the emergency petition.

Lawyer Henry E. Hockeimer Jr., who represents the district, urged families and community members not to jump to conclusions.

“These are important issues and we view them seriously,” Hockeimer, a former federal prosecutor, said in a statement.

While courts have held that students can be searched at school given “reasonable suspicion” of a crime — a more relaxed standard than “probable cause,” designed to ensure school safety — the lower standard does not apply in the home, the ACLU argued in its brief.

ently set fire to his home before flying his plane into the building.

Hunter’s son, Ken Stack Hunter, said he’s alarmed by comments that the pilot was a hero.

“How can you call someone a hero who after he burns down his house, he gets into his plane ... and flies it into a building to kill people?” said Hunter. “My dad did two tours of duty in Vietnam. My dad’s a hero.”

Bell said she offered her deepest condolences to Hunter’s family. She said her father’s last actions were wrong.

NEW YORK — A former Denver airport shuttle driver is preparing to enter a guilty plea to terrorism charges in a plot hatched around the anniversary of the Sept. 11 hijackings to carry out an attack on New York City with homemade bombs, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press on Monday.

Najibullah Zazi, 24, has begun talking to authorities and plans a guilty plea that could come as early as Monday, law enforcement officials told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation continues.

Zazi’s attorney, William Stampur, didn’t immediately return a telephone message Monday.

As important as a plea would be, Zazi may be far more valuable to investigators as a source for further information about co-conspirators located in the United States and Pakistan.

Obama puts last-ditch health care plan on table

Marijuana use entices seniors

By Erica Werner and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press Writers WASHINGTON — Making a last-ditch effort to save his health care overhaul, President Barack Obama on Monday put forward a nearly $1 trillion, 10-year compromise that would allow the government to deny or roll back egregious insurance premium increases that infuriate consumers.

The White House immediately demanded an up-ordown vote in Congress on the plan, or something close to it. But it’s highly uncertain that such sweeping legislation can pass. Republicans are virtually unanimous in opposing it, and some Democrats who previously supported a health care remake are having second thoughts in an election year. After a year in pursuit, Obama may have to settle for a modest fallback version of what once was his top domestic priority.

Release of the plan on the White House Web site comes just four days before Obama’s one-of-a-kind, televised health care summit with Democrats and Republicans. The White House said the plan would provide coverage to more than 31 million Americans now uninsured without adding to the federal deficit.

On Capitol Hill, Democrats cautiously welcomed the proposal, while Republicans gave a thumbs down.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement she looks forward to reviewing the plan and discussing it at the summit. “We must pass comprehensive, affordable health insurance reform, and I am hopeful that Thursday’s meeting will help us achieve this goal,” she said, reaffirming her commitment.

House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio dismissed the proposal, saying, “the president has crippled the credibility of this week’s summit by proposing the same massive government takeover of health care based on a partisan bill the American people have already rejected.”

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said it was “disappointing that Democrats in Washington either aren’t listening, or are completely ignoring what Americans across the country have been saying.”

The plan is Obama’s most detailed proposal since he took up the health care overhaul effort a year ago. At the time, he sought to avoid the problems former President Bill Clinton encountered when he issued Congress a detailed prescription in the 1990s, a plan that failed and contributed to the Democrats’ loss of Congress in 1994. Now Obama is being criticized for having been too deferential to lawmakers.

White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer said the plan is an “opening bid” going into Thursday’s summit.

It would cover more Americans — but also includes a new tax on investment income that Republicans object to.

By Matt Sedensky Associated Press Writer MIAMI — In her 88 years, Florence Siegel has learned how to relax: A glass of red wine. A crisp copy of The New York Times, if she can wrest it from her husband.

Some classical music, preferably Bach.

And every night like clockwork, she lifts a pipe to her lips and smokes marijuana.

Long a fixture among young people, use of the country’s most popular illicit drug is now growing among the AARP set, as the massive generation of baby boomers who came of age in the 1960s and ’70s grows older.

The number of people aged 50 and older reporting marijuana use in the prior year went up from 1.9 percent to 2.9 percent from 2002 to 2008, according to surveys from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

The rise was most dramatic among 55- to 59-year-olds, whose reported marijuana use more than tripled from 1.6 percent in 2002 to 5.1 percent.

Observers expect further increases as 78 million boomers born between 1945 and 1964 age.

For many boomers, the drug never held the stigma it did for previous generations, and they tried it decades ago.

Some have used it ever since,

while others are revisiting the habit in retirement, either for recreation or as a way to cope with the aches and pains of aging.

Siegel walks with a cane and has arthritis in her back and legs.

She finds marijuana has helped her sleep better than pills ever did. And she can’t figure out why everyone her age isn’t sharing a joint, too.

“They’re missing a lot of fun and a lot of relief,” she said.

Politically, advocates for legalizing marijuana say the number of older users could represent an important shift in their decadeslong push to change the laws.

“For the longest time, our political opponents were older Americans who were not familiar with marijuana and had lived through the ‘Reefer Madness’ mentality and they considered marijuana a very dangerous drug,” said Keith Stroup, the founder and lawyer of NORML, a marijuana advocacy group.

“Now, whether they resume the habit of smoking or whether they simply understand that it’s no big deal and that it shouldn’t be a crime, in large numbers they’re on our side of the issue.”

Each night, 66-year-old Stroup says he sits down to the evening news, pours himself a glass of wine and rolls a joint. He’s used the drug since he was a freshman at Georgetown, but many older adults are revisiting marijuana af-

The drug is credited with relieving many problems of aging: aches and pains, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and so on.

Patients in 14 states enjoy medical marijuana laws, but those elsewhere buy or grow the drug illegally to ease their conditions.

ter years away.

“The kids are grown, they’re out of school, you’ve got time on your hands and frankly it’s a time when you can really enjoy marijuana,” Stroup said. “Food tastes better, music sounds better, sex is more enjoyable.”

Plastic bags in US — to pay or not to pay?

By Melissa Eddy Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — For decades the standard question at U.S. grocery store check-out counters has been “Paper or plastic?”

But since January, consumers in the U.S. capital have faced a different question: “Will you pay 5 cents for a bag?”

Europeans have long accepted the idea of providing their own baskets, bags or nets to carry their purchases, or paying for bags.

But in the United States, where retailers go out of their way to cater to customers’ needs,

being given a free paper or plastic bag to carry purchases is largely taken for granted.

So not all Washingtonians are pleased.

“I think it’s unnecessary,” said Daniel Koroma, 57, as he toted groceries home from a supermarket in a plastic bag that he’d paid for.

“They sell you the groceries, they should give you something to put them in.”

While one major city, San Francisco, has banned plastic bags, Washington’s law is the first of its kind in the United States.

It is being carefully watched by activists who hope that one strong success will prove the tipping point for a program aimed at re-

ducing litter, pollution and waste.

“Whichever state is going to pull this is off is going to have the potential to be seen as the one that has cracked this problem,” said Vincent Cobb, founder of reuseit.com , a Web site that promotes recycling and sells reuseable bags.

Whether Washington’s law will prove to be a trendsetter remains to be seen.

The issue has sparked debate and many shoppers would rather juggle items in their arms or drive to stores in neighboring states where bags are still provided to customers at no charge.

Haiti

Afghanistan

Aid kept from homeless victims

NATO airstrike kills civilians

By Frank Bajak Associated Press Writer

By Noor Khan and Rahim Faiez Associated Press Writers

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Homeless victims of Haiti’s earthquake said Monday that police are halting deliveries of food and water to try to force them to leave their camp on the grounds of the prime minister’s office.

Police have padlocked gates to the camp where about 2,500 homeless people live under bed sheets propped on sticks on the sloping hill leading to the office. Stinking garbage with swarms of flies is piling up and portable latrines are filled, camp residents complained.

Witnesses said police beat 22-year-old Dalida Jeanty in the morning, after she picked up a broom to sweep around her tent.

“They called her and she did not come so they beat her,” said her cousin, Alix Jeanty.

Friends and relatives carried the woman down the hill and U.N. peacekeepers arranged for her to be taken to the hospital.

A police officer guarding the gate refused to give his name or to comment on the alleged beating or on accusations they have been turning away trucks carrying food and water for the past 10 days.

Calls to the information ministry on Monday were unanswered, as was an e-mail to the prime minister’s chief aide.

KABUL — A NATO airstrike killed at least 27 Afghan civilians, officials said Monday, in the third coalition strike this month to kill noncombatants and draw a sharp rebuke from Afghanistan’s government about endangering civilians.

In eastern Afghanistan, a suicide bomber killed 15 people on Monday, including a tribal leader who played a key role in a failed attempt to capture al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora in 2001, police said.

The top NATO commander, U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, apologized to President Hamid Karzai for the Sunday airstrike, which occurred in the central Afghan province of Uruzgan.

The Afghanistan Council of Ministers condemned the airstrike, calling it “unjustifiable.”

Summer 2010 jobs and camps

By Morgan Zimmerman Daily Staff Writer One huge advantage of being a student versus a member of the professional world is scheduled vacations, time off from the daily grind of looming dates and tedious deadlines. We spoke to three college students who plan on taking full advantage of our longest educational hiatus and asked them what they’re planning for their summer adventure.

Spice up your summer break abroad

By Leslie Millard Daily Staff Writer Summer break. Definition — the threemonth hiatus from classes that every college student dreams about.

Everyone loves summer break, but it is how you choose to spend it that is vital; dreaded summer classes, working, interning, spending time in the sun — or you can mix it up and study abroad.

For those students who dream of going abroad but a semester is simply too much, the summer abroad program is a good alternative.

It is short and sweet but allows you the chance to get out into the world.

Marissa Brandt, senior in logistics and supply chain management, studied abroad in London during the summer of 2009.

“My actual program lasted six weeks, however, with traveling I was abroad for eight weeks,” Brandt said.

Being so far away from home is one of the downfalls of studying abroad making a shorter summer program much more appealing.

“This was the perfect amount of time for me because I was unsure about committing to a full semester but still got a full two months abroad,” Brandt said.

For those of you who think studying abroad in the summer just means year-long class, this is not the case. Brandt explained she only took one class while abroad.

Tallis Henry, senior in speech communication, is planning her summer abroad for the upcoming term in Florence, Italy, and will be abroad for four weeks.

Henry said she will be taking only two classes, leaving plenty of time for travel and fun.

“I will actually be heading to Dublin, Ireland, first to visit a friend, and then after my program in Italy, I will spend some time in Spain,” Henry said.

Being in an exotic location is a buffer to the idea of taking classes during those three coveted months of summer.

“During the study abroad program, I traveled with friends to Amsterdam, Paris and Barcelona,” Brandt said. “Before the program started, I traveled with family to Belgium and the Nether-

lands.”

If living in a different country for a month or two and taking a couple courses while also traveling sounds appealing to you, be sure you start planning ahead.

“It’s probably smart to start looking into summer programs about nine months out,” Henry said. “It may take a little while to narrow down your choice, and then you need to devote a couple months to preparing your application.”

With all of the programs available, the choosing process can be overwhelming to begin with.

The ISU Study Abroad Center is a great resource. They have multiple advisers representing certain parts of the world to help you narrow down your search.

The main draw is that a summer abroad in college is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“The first thing I would say is do it. There are very few chances to experience something like that,” Brandt said. “I would also say make the best of your experience and try to take in as much as you can while you are abroad because those two months fly by.”

Many students are looking for jobs or internships over the summer. There are numerous options out there, especially for ISU students. One option is to work for the Iowa State Fair.

One may think that the Iowa State Fair only offers jobs and internships for ag majors, but that is definitely not the case.

“Each year, the fair generally hires the following positions: two marketing interns, two special event interns, four interns for the

Blue Ribbon Foundation and one concessions intern,” said Megan Grandgeorge, CFM Marketing and Tourism assistant.

The Iowa State Fair is the largest fair in Iowa and they need many people to work there in order for it to run smoothly each year. The selected dates for the 2010 Iowa State Fair are Aug. 12–22.

It might be late in the game to apply for the 2010 Iowa State Fair internships and jobs, but if you are looking for something for summer 2011, this is a great place to start.

“All positions, except concessions intern, have been filled for

2010,” Grandgeorge said. “Intern descriptions are generally posted on our Web site as well as Iowa college Web sites in December and January and filled by mid-February,” The start time for these positions varies by department and availability.

“Several students will work over Spring Break and start part time during the school year, then going full time once school is out,” Grandgeorge said.

“May through August is a good rule of thumb.”

Outdoor Recreation Program presents out-of-state activities

By Tyler Pals Daily Staff Writer The Outdoor Recreation Program has an array of trip options, workshops and equipment to rent. Trips including canoeing, biking, climbing, skiing, hiking and surfing are in the Outdoor Program’s arsenal. It has trips for the weekend or even extended trips during this Spring Break. All prices are reasonable for students, staff and even the public.

“People are generally pleased with the outcome of the trips, and most of them say they wish they had known about this program when they were younger,” said Chad Ward,assistant coordinator with Outdoor Recreation Services.

“Most of the people who attend these trips are juniors or seniors.”

Weekend trips include cross-country skiing/ snowshoeing and winter camping at Yellow River State Park, hiking at Brushy Creek State Park, canoeing the Boone River and even mountain biking at Sugar Bottom.

There are pre-trip meetings and a limit of 10–13 people depending on the trip. Weekend trips are not offered during March but are available during every weekend in April. If you want to get out of Iowa for Spring Break, take a look at the extended trips. There are six trips offered during Spring Break.

Three of the seven trips are canoeing the Rio

Grande or hiking Big Bend in Texas, road tripping to California to surf and kayaking/canoeing the Bartram Canoe Trails in Alabama. The states the trips are taking place include: Utah, Texas, California, Colorado and Alabama. Registration deadlines for these trips are 6 p.m. on March 8.

The Outdoor Program also offers workshops for students. Recreational kayak, bicycle maintenance and rock climbing for different levels of skill are the workshops left for this semester.

If a student or a student group planned a trip and does not have equipment, it’s not a problem. The Outdoor Program offers equipment to rent. All you need to rent is a valid ISU card. All fees must be paid in full and equipment must be returned in the same condition and renters are responsible for inspecting equipment.

Equipment for rent includes tents, sleeping gear, packs, kitchen gear, water gear, winter equipment, bikes, climbing equipment and various game equipment.

Summer trips are still in the planning stages but will be available soon.

The office of the Outdoor Program is located in the northwest lower level of Beyer Hall due to renovations of State Gym.

Camp Adventure offers experience on military bases

By Wendy Sloan Daily Staff Writer Instead of spending their summers with typical summer jobs or taking classes, a group of 60 ISU students will be overseas on U.S. military bases running day camps, traveling and earning 12 credit hours all at the same time.

Does this sound too good to be true? Well, it’s not. These students are participating in the University of Northern Iowa’s Camp Adventure Youth Services.

Camp Adventure is a not-for-profit organization that sends college students all over the world to provide day camp programs, aquatics programs and child development internships on U.S. military bases, Kyleanne Kiraly said, president of the ISU chapter of Camp Adventure. Participants are overseas for 11 weeks during the summer on various sites in Asia, Europe and South America.

This summer Kiraly will travel to Yokosuka, Japan, as a thirdyear veteran of the program. She originally heard about Camp Adventure from her sister, who had participated in the pro-

gram.

“I wanted to do it, too,” Kiraly explained, “I was kind of jealous; it seemed like the perfect deal.”

Kiraly spent her first year with the program in Garmisch, Germany, and her second year was in Yokosuka, where she was involved in the aquatics program. While they’re overseas on the military bases, participants spend the weekdays working and have the weekends up for

travel.

“It’s the best of both worlds,” Kiraly said.

Thanks to Camp Adventure, she has climbed Mount Fuji and traveled all over Europe — including Paris, Italy and Prague.

Now as president of the ISU chapter, Kiraly works on recruiting members to the program in the fall. One of the recruits for this summer, Austin Creswell, heard about Camp Adventure straight from Kiraly.

“I knew her freshman year,” Creswell explained.

He decided to participate because he loves kids, and the program also will allow him to travel. Creswell will spend his summer in Okinawa, Japan, where he will teach swim lessons and lifeguarding.

“I’m looking forward to the whole experience,” Creswell explained, “I love lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons and having free time to travel over there.”

Both Creswell and Kiraly stated the program is fit for people who like working with kids and who are looking to travel.

“People should be flexible, spontaneous, silly and crazy,” Kiraly said, “willing to let their inner child come out.”

Camp Adventure participants will set up and run the camp. Kiraly said it usually starts in the mornings with a blitz, a collection of songs you get ridiculous with, sometimes accompanied by a skit.

After that, the group separates into clubs and activities.

The day ends like it begins, with closing songs.

“The kids really make an impact on your life,” Kiraly said, “and the traveling is nice too, like the cherry on top.”

The program provides participants with a $1,500 stipend, free airfare, housing and 12 credit hours from the University of Northern Iowa, Kiraly said.

The program does cost around $1,000 the first time, partially because you are paying tuition to enroll in courses at Northern Iowa.

“It is the cheapest study abroad out there,” Kiraly said, “and it goes down in price when you’re a veteran.”

Veterans to the program not only pay a smaller fee, but they become trainers of the new participants in the spring. They lead new recruits through the program four hours once a week for around 15 weeks during the spring semester.

During training, participants will learn in-depth information about the program, along with songs and games they can use to play with the kids.

Some weeks are focused on different topics that are key to the program, like diversity or professionalism.

The UNI program is available to more than 10 colleges and universities, allowing students to work with and meet people from other states. The program has been implemented in 150 sites in 27 countries and territories around the world.

Kiraly said people interested in the program should fill out an interest card online, which will put them in the system for next year.

Google internet could speed up ISU community Google, it seems, is on a quest for world domination.

And, issues of monopolies and power trips aside, we might be OK with that.

At the very least, we’re ready to let Google take over the city of Ames.

If you haven’t heard yet, Google has announced plans to launch an experiment called “Google Fiber for Communities.” The details are pretty basic right now, but we think it sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

According to the Google Fiber Web site, the experiment involves testing “ultra-high speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the country.”

The site says these networks will deliver Internet speeds of more than one gigabit per second through fiber-to-the-home connections.

That’s more than 100 times faster than what most of us are used to when we surf the ’net.

The announcement goes on to say that service will be offered at a “competitive price” to “at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.” It’s not clear whether Google plans to try this in multiple communities or just one.

The goal?

To “experiment with new ways to help make Internet access better and faster for everyone.”

Just think of the possibilities.

Remember what it was like to make the switch to broadband from a 56 kilobits-persecond dial-up connection? The Internet became more accessible, more convenient — and just plain cooler.

Certainly, a fiber-optic Internet connection would make it easier for us to stream and download our favorite TV shows online, to chat with our friends and to do our homework.

But those are just improvements to things that are already available to us.

What about the innovations that could come from an entire community having access to an “ultra-high speed network”?

We’re willing to bet that the bright minds of Ames — students, professors and community members alike — could come up with some applications for those speeds that would blow our minds.

Google is accepting applications from local governments and nominations from residents of communities that might benefit from the trial.

The city of Ames is considering submitting an application — a possibility that will be discussed at the Feb. 23 City Council meeting.

Ames has a little more than a month to move forward with an application for the Google Fiber experiment; applications are due March 26.

We urge the city of Ames to consider the benefits of this experiment and submit an application.

And we encourage Ames residents — that’s us, as students, too — to voice their opinions to their representatives on the City Council.

And why not submit a nomination to Google, to show them that we, as a community, are excited about this opportunity?

It’s clear that fiber-optic and other “ultrahigh speed” networks are the future of the way we use the Internet.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could make that jump into the future together, as a community?

Finding a suitable career is no easy task and, like shoe shopping, requires trying out several different options. Anthoney suggests that taking an active role in your career search early on is the most helpful strategy to finding the career that fits you the best. Volunteer opportunities, internships and part-time jobs are great places for discovering your own niche in the workplace. Courtesy photo: Thinkstock

Find the career that fits you I

don’t know about you, but when it’s time to buy new shoes, I try on multiple styles and sizes to find the pair that fits just right.

It’s the same for me shopping for jeans. I could spend an entire afternoon browsing the endless shelves of denim and giving them a test run in the dressing room. We take the time to test the fit of our shoes and jeans, but may not know how to shop around when it comes to careers. If you’re feeling unsure about your career path, there are several ways to find out if the shoe fits.

Online Career Databases: Educate yourself about what the career is really like. If you selected a career because it sounded good or looked appealing on your favorite TV show, do a reality check by consulting accurate resources.

You can find reliable career information through O*NET Online — www.online.onetcenter.org — and the Occupational Outlook Handbook at www.bls.gov/OCO. Learn more about what you would actually do on the job from these resources. Look for details about the work tasks and work setting.

“What did you do at work today?” Ask questions about careers in your everyday conversations. Talk about work within your social networks.

Your parents, family friends, mentors, community members and even the stranger you’re sitting next to on an airplane can be resources for you by learning more about their career paths. Ask them what a typical day at work is like. Ask them what they love and hate

about their jobs.

Campus Resources: Use your campus resources to learn more about the world of work. Visit the career services office in your college, visit the Career Exploration Service and talk with your adviser and professors.

Draw on the wealth of information these people have about career paths. Best of all, these people are available right here on campus and you pass these offices every day.

Career Fairs: Even if you’re not looking for a job or internship right now, attend the career fairs each semester to keep learning about careers. Ask recruiters about the positions in their companies. Ask what they are looking for in their employees. Ask what they love about their jobs.

Take advantage of the rare opportunity of having hundreds of companies together in one room. If you are seeking an internship or full-time employment, preparation is key. Research the companies in attendance, develop your resume with assistance from Career Services and dress professionally. Bring your confidence, smile and firm handshake.

Informational Interviews and Job Shadow: Once you have some good ideas about potential career options that might fit you, go and see the work environment for yourself.

Through your social networks, find someone in the job you’re interested in and set up a

meeting to learn more about the career. Make a list of questions in advance of everything you want to know about that job. Ask if you can job shadow to see firsthand a day in the life in that career.

Experiential Learning: Reading and talking with others will help a lot, but there’s nothing like experiencing a career field for yourself.

Look for volunteer opportunities, part-time jobs and internships within your area of interest. Staff at the career services office in your college can guide you through the process of applying for internships. Start this process early in your college career so that you can work at multiple sites.

Once you’re on the job, notice which work activities you get excited about and which ones you could do without. Get the insider view on other positions within the organization and how to work your way up. Develop mentoring relationships with your supervisor and other employees for ongoing career guidance.

I’ll admit, trying on a career for size is a lot more work than shoe shopping, but putting in this work now to learn everything you can about the careers you’re considering is worth the effort. You will learn more about yourself and the world of work, so you can make well-informed career decisions. Take an active role in your career choices. Invest this time in creating your future career. Use the resources available to you in meeting your career goals.

Northern Iowan:

Fundamentalists mask sexist doctrine

M

en speak. That is their role in the church. The women have a different role. They are to help and encourage others. It’s not a matter of equality as much as just each gender has a different job.”

I logged onto Facebook the other day to be welcomed by this gem. I had been discussing the merits of taking the Bible literally when “Eve” dropped this bomb.

I was floored — utterly floored and speechless. How does one respond to blatant, self-loathing sexism?

This discussion, and a few others I’ll mention later, got me thinking about equality and religion’s fight against it. My intention isn’t to bash religion, but rather, those holding misogynistic views under the guise of religious doctrine. Many don’t even seem to realize they’re doing it.

This problem is far from isolated. The past decade we’ve seen the rise of a rebranded fundamentalist Christianity, spearheaded by leaders such as Mark Driscoll. Described by the New York Times as having the “coolest style and foulest mouth of any preacher you’ve ever seen,” Driscoll grew his Seattle congregation to more than 7,600 weekly

This column by Trevor Boeckmann was originally published in The Northern Iowan, student newspaper at the University of Northern Iowa. visitors. His “Act 29” project has begun planting similar churches throughout the country.

Despite his “hip” style, Driscoll’s views border on patriarchy. Modern Christianity, he says, has been taken over by “chicks and some chickified dudes with limp wrists.” Jesus has been turned into “a Richard Simmons, hippie, queer Christ.”

Driscoll is an advocate of 1 Timothy 2:12, which states, “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” Women in his church cannot hold leadership roles and are required to submit to their husbands.

Terrifyingly enough, his views are spreading. Even in Cedar Falls, at least one local church is a part of the Act 29 movement.

In a recent sermon, their pastor spoke of how men are the head of a household and women aren’t to take leadership roles in the church. God created different roles for the sexes, claimed the

pastor.

“Women have lost the battle of trying to get their way with their husbands.” Women need to accept their role, he concludes.

It is, of course, absurd to not acknowledge the differences between the sexes. Last year, MastersofHealthCare. com compiled a list of the “10 Big Differences between Men’s and Women’s Brains” from a collection of psychological journals, books and government entities. Although the site itself is suspect, the studies it cites are not. Women communicate more effectively, men process better in the left hemisphere of their brains; women handle stress better, men have stronger spatial abilities.

However, the important qualifier on all of these is “on average.”

There are, no doubt, women who are great at math and parallel parking but are terrible at communication. Likewise some men — this author included — can’t parallel park to save their lives.

While we can speak about the typical man and woman, it is patently sexist to shove all men and women into respective boxes.

Oftentimes this sexism appears innocent enough. The

local pastor from the church I mentioned earlier has this to say when discussing the roles of men and women: “[M]en are lazy, indulgent and do not care to take care of a woman … Women are selfstarters due many times to the laziness of men … Men in general have a low view of women, and this is shown by their desire to pay money for cheap sex and live-ins without commitment and a taker lifestyle. Commit!

Have children!”

This is great, right? No. Not all men are lazy, indulgent and don’t care of women. Not all women are self-starters. Not all men have a low view of women and want cheap sex. Some women don’t want commitment, and not all women want children. This is obviously, blatantly sexist — yet this man of God clearly thought he was anything but.

When the women’s suffrage movement first took off, it embraced the slogan “No Gods and No Masters.” Women called for independence; they wanted final say over their own bodies and minds. Yet, here we are, a century later with a teenage girl who won’t speak in her own church.

Oh, how far we have come.

America stomps Sweden, reaches championship VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Angela Ruggiero launched a wrist shot over Kim Martin’s too-late glove and gratefully raised her hands to the roof, finally certain her U.S. women’s hockey team wouldn’t allow another Swedish surprise at the Olympics.

Monique Lamoureux scored three goals, Jessie Vetter made 11 saves and the Americans rolled into the goldmedal match with a 9–1 semifinal victory over Sweden on Monday.

Caitlin Cahow, Karen Thatcher and Kelli Stack each had a goal and an assist as the Americans avenged their 2006 semifinal shootout loss to Sweden, the biggest upset in Olympic history and a sore spot for the six returning members of that bronze-medal team.

“It was the same team, same semifinal game, but the similarities end there,” said Ruggiero, the four-time Olympian. “Everyone knows. No one was saying, ‘Remember, remember.’”

After playing the preliminary round at UBC Thunderbird Arena, both teams waited through a long weekend for a chance to play at the bigger hockey venue in Vancouver. The Americans hadn’t played since Thursday, while Sweden had four straight days without a game in a schedule criticized by coaches and some players.

Seniors surpass expectations Leaders leave lasting ISU legacy, prepare for postseason play ABOVE: ISU senior Jake Varner defeats Nebraska’s Craig Brester 6–3 in their bout at 197 pounds during the meet at Hilton Coliseum on Sunday.

By Shane Lucas Daily Staff Writer The saying “all good things must come to an end” has never been more true.

The class that contributed to more than 550 wins, three Big 12 team championships and seven All-American honors wrestled its final home meet at Hilton Coliseum on Sunday.

“It’s just crazy how fast it’s gone,” said heavyweight David Zabriskie. “It seems like just a couple days ago we were stepping out here for our first match and now it’s already our last.”

Many would argue that the class, consisting of Duke Burk (174), Joe Curran (184), Nick Fanthorpe (133), Nick Gallick (141), Mitch Mueller (149), Jake Varner (197) and Zabriskie, certainly met its high expectations as one of the top recruiting classes in the nation.

Of the seven members of the class, five competed in Sunday’s meet against Nebraska, with four grabbing wins.

Fanthorpe and Mueller got the Hilton crowd into the meet early for the Cyclones, scoring a pin and technical fall.

Both wrestlers changed weight classes in their college careers but still managed to have success.

Fanthorpe grabbed All-American honors in 2007– ’08 and Mueller holds three Harold Nichols Open championships.

“It’s been a great experience wrestling for the team and wrestling at Hilton,” Fanthorpe said.

“There’s not another place I’d rather spend my career.”

Zabriskie, otherwise known as the “Beast from the East” or simply “Z,” has been a staple in the heavyweight class since his freshman year.

This season, he has been known to keep coaches and fans on the edge with a number of late victories.

With two Big 12 championships already under his belt, Zabriskie is more focused on the future instead of the past.

“The ending is kind of bittersweet, but as a team we’ve accomplished a ton,” Zabriskie said. “There’s still more to look forward to.”

Varner has dominated in his time at Iowa State.

He is the only current NCAA champion on the team roster and spent this summer at the World Wrestling Championships.

Among all of his individual accolades, Varner pointed out one specific accomplishment from this season.

“We were a part of 1,000 dual wins and not many people can say they were a part of that,” Varner said.

“That’s something special.”

The only competing senior to not end his Hilton career with a win was Burk, who had his work cut out for him with Nebraska’s fourth-ranked Stephen Dwyer.

Though he couldn’t get the win Sunday, coach Kevin Jackson is confident that it won’t be the last chance Burk will have to beat Dwyer.

“If he gets past the first round, he’s going to have to see him again in the Big 12s,” Jackson said. “We’ll be ready for him, we’ll wrestle him better I’m sure.”

Curran and Gallick were the only members of the class to not compete in Sunday’s meet. Gallick could

Gymnastics

actually be returning to Hilton next season, as the team is attempting to get him a medical redshirt after surgery ended his season in January.

As a two-time All-American, his presence on next year’s team could help soften the blow from losing his senior class.

Curran, the team’s 2006 Newcomer of the Year, lost the 184-pound slot to sophomore Jerome Ward earlier this season.

Varner took some time to acknowledge the only missing member of the class, Cyler Sanderson. Sanderson transferred to Penn State in the offseason to spend his final season with his brothers.

“He’s doing great and I’m happy for him,” Varner said. “He made the right decision for himself, but he’ll always be a part of our team.”

After a short period of reflection on their careers, the senior class and the rest of the team have already gone to work to give a proper send-off.

“We want these seniors to finish their careers off right, and the only thing that would be right is four Big 12 Championships,” Jackson said.

Win secures Cy-Hawk Undefeated pair, Canada shuts out Finland in semifinal game VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Haley Irwin scored two goals, Meghan Agosta set an Olympic record with her ninth goal, and Canada beat Finland in the semifinals 5–0 Monday night to secure its long-anticipated gold-medal meeting with the U.S. team.

Cherie Piper and Caroline Ouellette also scored for the Canadians, who persevered through their closest game in a tournament they have dominated.

Canada has outscored its opponents 46–2 in Vancouver.

Shannon Szabados made just 11 saves for Canada, but Finnish goalie Noora Raty bedeviled the Canadian offense with 45 stops. She kept the deficit to two goals until late in the second period when Agosta broke Danielle Goyette’s Olympic goal-scoring mark.

Canada is one victory away from winning its third straight gold medal in the sport it has dominated during two decades of competition, although the Americans have been nearly as impressive in their march to the final, outscoring their four opponents 40–2.

team fall to Iowa in rival matchup

By Kelsey Jacobs Daily Staff Writer Cyclone fans can thank the No. 15 gymnastics team for bringing the Cy-Hawk Trophy back to Iowa State after it took down Iowa 194.475–193.825 Sunday at CarverHawkeye Arena in Iowa City.

The Cyclones (5–5) managed to beat Iowa even with their second-lowest score of the season — the lowest was a 193.300 in January against Wisconsin-Stout. Since then, the team has been consistently scoring in the 195–196 range.

“I told the team this week that usually score means everything, except against Iowa,” said coach Jay Ronayne in a news release. “Our goal was to beat Iowa, regardless of what our score was. Coming into the meet, I knew if we won, Iowa State would mathematically win the series, so we came here to do that. We accomplished that goal, and we are proud to do that for the Cyclone faithful.”

The ISU lineup at Iowa was different than usual because the team dynamics shifted due to injuries.

Senior Jody McKellar jolted her ankle on the vault two weeks ago at Pittsburgh, and rolled it again in practice this week. She did not compete Sunday. Instead, several alternates filled in, including freshman Rebecca Ellis, who registered a 9.725 on vault. “[Ellis] did awesome,” said senior Ashley Kent. “Her vaults have been getting so much

better in practice, and she went out and did exactly what she needed to. She hit a vault and it really helped us, so we were really proud of her.”

Senior Megan Barnes, who has been out for the season so far due to a preseason PCL tear, was able to contribute to the win over Iowa with her season-debut on uneven bars and balance beam.

“Megan was very tentative today,” Ronayne said. “I was able to talk to her about the first step of her comeback being behind her. She can now focus on getting better and getting back to her usual stellar self. She’s still not 100 percent, and she was holding back a little today.”

Barnes placed third overall on bars and sixth overall on beam without performing at her full potential, and Kent said Barnes is definitely a bonus to the team.

“Its just nice to have someone out there who has been competing for three years,” Kent said. “She’s not as prepared as she wants to be, she still knows how to hit a routine.”

Iowa State made the two-hour trip east down Interstate 80 this weekend to Iowa City for a pair of matches with winning programs in Marquette (7–3) and the rival Hawkeyes of Iowa (3–1).

The Golden Eagles and Cyclones squared off with Marquette on Friday and took the early Palen lead with two victories in doubles, winning the doubles point. The previously undefeated pair of senior Alyssa Palen and junior Liza Wischer lost its first doubles match of the season 8–4 to Marquette’s sophomores Paola Calderon and Olga Fischer. No. 1 doubles pair junior Erin Karonis and freshman Jenna Langhorst lost 8–4 to Christina Ruiz and Rachael Hush. The ISU sophomore pair of Maria Macedo and Wischer Tessa Lang won the Cyclones’ lone doubles match with an 8–6 victory over Maggie Wilson and Gillian Hush.

Down 1–0 as they headed into singles, Karonis dropped her No. 1 singles match 6–4, 6–1 to Calderon, putting the Cyclones down 2–0. However, Iowa State won its next three singles matches with victories from Macedo, Lang and junior Marie-Christine Chartier.

With a 3–2 lead, the Cyclones needed either Langhorst or

Catcher shatters school RBI record

By Michael Zogg Daily Staff Writer Iowa State climbed back over .500 this weekend in Texas.

The Cyclones finished the Marriott Houston Invitational 3–2. They beat Purdue, Houston and UT-San Antonio and lost to No. 16 Louisiana-Lafayette and No. 20 Texas to improve to 6–5 on the season.

The Marriott Houston Invitational was also the site where senior catcher Alex Johnson became Iowa State’s all-time leader in RBIs. Going into the tournament, Johnson was tied with her predecessor at catcher, 2007 graduate Ashley Killeen, with 104 RBIs. Johnson broke the record in the second game of the tournament against No. 16 LouisianaLafayette when she belted a single with the bases loaded in the

sixth inning.

J o h n s o n ’s RBI capped a four-run sixth inning to tie the game and Johnson eventually take the Ragin’ Cajuns into extra innings.

Although disappointed with ultimately losing the game, the Cyclones were encouraged with the performance of their young pitcher.

“That was by far the best performance out of Tori Torrescano, the freshman pitcher,”

said coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler.

“That game told us what she can do and how effective she can be when she works ahead and when she has command of her pitches,” she said.

Torrescano also hit the first home run of her career, belting a leadoff home run in the sixth inning to start the rally.

against Iowa],” GemeinhardtCesler said. “I thought that was really a good snapshot of the team we can be.”

Conversely, the low point of the tournament for the Cyclones was an 11–2 loss at the hands of conference-foe Texas.

The Longhorns jumped all over Iowa State early, scoring two runs in the first followed by three in the second, to take a 5–0 early lead.

“We came out and just couldn’t keep the ball in the park, and that resulted in 10 runs out of their 11,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.

Despite the rough loss, the Cyclones refused to hang their heads.

“I think that they are disappointed because they know they are better then they showed,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “But they don’t think that they can’t

compete with them.”

Iowa State showed this by beating Houston and UT-San Antonio by a combined score of 18–1 over the final two games of the tournament.

Iowa State also got its first victory in extra innings. The Cyclones played two extra-inning games last weekend at the Metrodome Tournament but lost them both.

The Cyclones were able to overcome Purdue in extra innings with a 3–2 victory in the eighth.

“It is a good experience for our players,” GemeinhardtCesler said. “I think that the two games that we lost previously in tie breakers, we could have won.

Now we had a very similar situation and we were able to win. I just think that is a good natural progression from being in those situations.”

Wischer to win their singles matches and Langhorst — who leads the Cyclones with six singles victories — came through and won first set in a tiebreaker and then finishing off Rachael Hush 7–6 (7–3), 6–3 to earn the 4–3 victory for the Cyclones.

“We came out in doubles and even though we lost the doubles point, it was a hard fought match that came down to the wire,” said coach Armando Espinosa .

Hoping to clinch the annual Hy-Vee CyHawk series with a victory, the Cyclones traveled back to Iowa City on Sunday for a matchup with the 4–1 Hawkeyes. Iowa defeated Marquette 6–1 on Friday.

With victories over Big 12 opponents Kansas and Kansas State, the Hawkeyes made it 3–0 against the Big 12 with a 7–0 sweep of the Cyclones. The loss marked the second sweep suffered by the Cyclones this season as they dropped to 5–3 on the season.

Despite the defeat, Espinosa believes his team fought hard — especially Langhorst, who forced a third set in her 6–4, 4–6, 6–3 no. 4 singles loss to Iowa’s junior Jessica Young.

“I don’t think the 7–0 score really depicted what happened,” Espinosa said. “It’s unfortunate we couldn’t help the Cy-Hawk series, but I was pleased with how we competed.”

Espinosa sees his team moving in the right direction as it gears up for the Big 12 season that begins in only 11 days. Five of the six singles players and all three of the doubles

“It shows that we can compete with anybody when we are playing well,” GemeinhardtCesler said. “What I would have liked to see earlier in the game, we had some strikeouts and I think that really affected them.

I think we are too good of players to be as affected as we were.

I wish we would have been able to rebound with those second at-bats versus the third at-bats.”

The high point of the tournament for the Cyclones was a win over the tournament host, Houston.

The Cyclones jumped out to a first inning 3–0 lead and junior pitcher Rachel Zabriskie struck out a career-high 13 batters as Iowa State rolled over Houston 9–1.

“That was the second time that I felt we were playing with everything working for the entire game [the other time being

pairings that played this weekend are currently at or above a .500 winning percentage this season.

“We are kind of where we want to be, but we still haven’t peaked,” Espinosa said.

Having faced only one ranked opponent all season in No. 69 Minnesota, whom they lost to 4–3, the Cyclones will travel to Norfolk and Richmond, Va., this weekend to take on two of the toughest teams on the East Coast — No. 68 Old Dominion (8–4) and No. 29 VCU (7–2).

The matches out east will be the final tuneup before the Big 12 season opener March 6 when the Cyclones travel to Waco, Texas, to face Big 12 juggernaut, No. 5 Baylor.

“It sets up the right kind of stretch for the Big 12 because right after [this weekend] we go play Baylor,” Espinosa said. “It will really help us out to see what kind of level we are at.”

DES MOINES — Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson is recuperating after injuring her left knee while skiing in Colorado on a family vacation in January.

Her father, Doug Johnson, said the injury happened on her last skiing run of that particular day, and the knee injury will keep her

from competing for six months.

Johnson’s agent, Sheryl Shade, said the West Des Moines gymnast underwent an arthroscopic procedure Tuesday.

She said the 18-year-old Johnson started physical therapy recently and will be in a leg brace for six weeks.

Shade characterized the injury to Johnson’s ACL as minor. She said because Johnson wants all of her options available to continue in gymnastics, the decision was to have it repaired.

Johnson won the gold medal in the balance beam during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.

Chargers release running back

By Bernie Wilson AP Sports Writer SAN DIEGO — The slashing, dazzling runs came less frequently. The yards didn’t pile up as easily as in previous seasons.

Running back LaDainian Tomlinson was slowing down because of injuries and age, becoming less and less the face of the franchise as his role was reduced in a pass-happy offense.

On Monday, he was released by the San Diego Chargers, a franchise he helped revive with a brilliant nine-year run in which he became one of the NFL’s

greatest running backs.

The move had been expected for some time.

Tomlinson, one of the most beloved athletes in San Diego sports history, got the word in a meeting with team president Dean Spanos.

“I told him that in the 26 years that I’ve been in this business, it was probably the hardest thing I’ve had to do,” Spanos said.

“I’m not close to a lot of the players, but there’s a handful that I’ve been close with, and he’s probably the closest,” he said.

“It was really difficult to tell him. But out of respect, I wanted to tell him earlier rather than later.”

Public Employees: Get Ready to Pay the Union Service Fee The unions are pushing an idea that would directly impact public employees. And not just public employees who are members of the union...but even those who don’t want to be a member.

House Bill 2420 would require non-union employees in the Executive Branch, including Iowa State University employees, to pay a “Union Service Fee” to the union.

Even if you’re not a member, and you’ve told the union you don’t want to join, you will still have to pay the “Union Service Fee.” The union will deduct it right out of your paycheck. And if you don’t pay the “Union Service Fee,” they can take legal action to force you to do so.

This “Union Service Fee” could cost every non-union employee several hundred dollars per year, and will raise the unions over $5.3 MILLION. That’s $5.3 MILLION the union bosses will spend on their pet projects. And that’s about 20 fewer visits to the doctor for you and your family.

Call your legislator TODAY at (515) 281-3321 and tell them to oppose House File 2420.

Men’s Basketball

Frustration fuels efforts

By Chris Cuellar Daily Staff Writer Frustration seems to be the word of choice around men’s basketball coach Greg McDermott’s team this week.

Suffering through a sixgame losing streak, forward Craig Brackins’ shooting woes and the seven total bench points that were scored in the last three games could all be classified as frustrating. Falling under .500 on Saturday after dropping nine of their last 10 games, the Cyclones are staring at a week with Big 12 opponents Nebraska and Colorado — the only two teams Iowa State has beaten in the conference schedule.

“I think we might be pressing a little bit. I think everybody’s frustrated,” said sophomore guard Scott Christopherson.

“We’ve been real close for a couple weeks and I think we’re ready to break through here and get a win.”

The pressure of winning can cause teams and players to crack, and the weight has gotten heavy on the shoulders of the Cyclones.

The only two ISU scorers to average double digits, Brackins and senior forward Marquis Gilstrap, shot 21 percent and 29 percent in the last two games.

Losses don’t have asterisks next

to them in conference standings saying “almost,” but Iowa State lost last week by five and four points to two tournamentbound teams. Just how close are they?

“Too close,” Brackins said.

“It’s sickening how close. We put so much into it and you think back, ‘Are we working hard enough?’ We kill ourselves, we limp out of here, we’re fighting.

It’s just so close and I think it’s mental for us, the little stuff that we do that we’re not executing.”

Struggling to put together 40 minutes with constant focus and execution has been the Cyclones’ calling card all season, resulting in the tough shots from Brackins and defended shots from the 3-point shooters. Iowa State shot 30.7 percent from behind the arc during the six-game losing streak.

“I don’t think it’s because they’re selfish,” McDermott said. “They’re just trying to make a play for their team. We’re struggling scoring, and it’s been a few possessions since we’ve

scored and they want to take it upon their own shoulders to go and make a play to get the team back right. You need some of that, but in those situations, more times than not you’ve got to make the extra pass.”

McDermott remained optimistic that the hard work the team was putting in meant his squad was staying positive, instead of letting the losses linger.

The coach said his players put in a strong practice Monday, but needed to be prepared for Nebraska and Colorado this week. The two teams occupy the 10th and 12th spots in the Big 12, but sitting in the cellar doesn’t make them easy opponents.

Both Nebraska and Colorado hung around with Kansas and the other top teams in conference play; Colorado was able to squeak out wins against Baylor and Oklahoma, and Nebraska’s only conference victory was over Oklahoma.

Iowa State can take comfort in the knowledge that it has

beaten both teams, but not having won a game in the month of February, the team knows it needs to improve. Team leader Brackins is putting the burden on his shoulders.

“I shoot maybe 200 or 300 shots a day, so maybe I try 400 or 500 now,” Brackins said.

“That’s what I was thinking, too, maybe what I’m doing just is not enough. I’ve worked twice as hard this year as last year, and I’m still a little off, so maybe a little more work.”

In what could be a boost to the struggles behind the arc, Christopherson said Monday he was feeling better and getting his energy back. The 6-foot-3inch guard has averaged seven points per game in the Big 12 season, but battled mononucleosis for the past month.

“I’ve been able to get healthy,” Christopherson said.

“It’s definitely a good feeling. It was real frustrating for a while there, and I’m real excited for the next couple weeks.”

Junior reserve forward LaRon Dendy saw action against Texas A&M on Saturday after McDermott sat him from the Oklahoma State game for what the coach felt was overstaying his trip for a family funeral.

Dendy missed the Missouri and Kansas games after extending his stay at home longer than

the previously understood three days. McDermott put Dendy on the floor for four minutes against the Aggies on Saturday and said that Dendy’s complete return to action would likely be soon.

“He and I met yesterday again and talked through some things,” McDermott said. “I like the progress he’s making. We’ll gradually work him back in the lineup.”

While technically unspeci-

fied whether Dendy was suspended or just benched, the 6.1 points and 3.6 rebounds the transfer offered per game could improve the bench play for the Cyclones. The players understand their coach’s decision and await Dendy’s return.

“He’s been good in practice, he’s always fun to be around.

He’s working hard and we are all respecting that,” Brackins said.

“He’s doing what he has to do to get back some more minutes.”

Hockey

Defense focuses on discipline as season ends

By David Merrill Daily Staff Writer Clearing the puck out of their opponent’s attacking zone is something the Cyclones need to improve upon in their final regular season series against Northern Iowa this weekend.

This past weekend, the Cyclones hosted the annual Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament and were shown the gate earlier than they planned on.

In the opening round, Iowa State cruised to a 5–0 victory over Kent State, a team that it

TROPHY from PAGE 11

Even after a successful win with a reordered lineup, the Cyclones know they can do better, especially on vault, which was their lowest score this week.

“We had a rough vault for sure today,” Kent said. “But overall just made little mistakes where we gave the judges a chance to take [points] away from us. We just need to clean

will also play in the first round of the ACHA national tournament in a couple weeks.

The victory was especially impressive because Iowa State got out to a strong start and didn’t look back.

Historically, the Cyclones haven’t been a strong openingperiod team and they put five goals past Ryan Gregory, arguably the best goalie in the league.

The Cyclones advanced to play Ohio University, who swept the team in its earlier series in Athens.

The Bobcats continued to show they have the Cyclones’ number as they shut down Iowa State’s aggressive attack and held on for a 3–1 victory.

“Friday night, I think we played the perfect game,” said senior forward Derek Behrman.

up the little things, get back on our feet on vault and then I’m sure we’ll be back in the 195s and 196s.”

The Cyclones will continue to work hard in the gym to clean up mistakes, but they are still happy to have the win over Iowa.

“It was a long time coming,” Kent said. “I know a couple times last year we should have gone out and beat them, and to have the win this year is just very satisfying.”

“We were playing physical and getting the puck into their end and getting good shots. We got a good game from our goalie Saturday night, but we took a penalty early and never really got our rhythm established.”

Iowa State found it hard to play its game because it finished the game with 29 penalty minutes off eight penalties.

This was twice as many penalties as it took in its victory over Kent State.

At one point in the second period, the Cyclones had three men in the penalty box.

“It’s really hard on the team when were down one or two men on the ice,” said coach Al Murdoch.

“We killed their 5-on-3 opportunities, and I was proud of that, but when those three men

are on the ice, it sucks the energy out of them and it makes it real tough for them to play effectively the rest of the game.”

Lacking discipline against the level of hockey that the Cyclones will be facing in the coming weeks will not be to their advantage.

While the upcoming opponent isn’t as strong as the teams Iowa State will be facing at the national tournament, the penalty minutes will have to stay down.

“If we play undisciplined against a team like that who is well coached and has a good power play, they are going to capitalize,” sophomore defenseman Brody Toigo said.

“They’re just going to start burying the puck. We have to be more disciplined going for-

ward.”

The Bobcats did an effective job of crowding the Cyclones’ attacking zone, which made it easier for them to display their skill in the Cyclones’ defensive zone.

“They have a lot of talent up front,” Behrman said. “They did a good job of getting the puck down on their end, and we obviously can’t score from our own end. When they have the puck and you’re chasing them the

entire game, it makes it tough to score goals.”

While Ohio used its crowding strategy to stuff the Cyclones’ attack, Iowa State will not get away from its game plan as it gets closer to nationals.

“It’s just about bearing down,” Toigo said. “Hard and high off the glass is what it comes down to. If a guy isn’t looking, you got to go and put him against the wall. It’s all about just bearing down.”

Patrick finishes race in 31st place, three laps behind

Proper procedure serves purpose Tune up:

By Ben Sloan Daily Staff Writer

By Jeremiah Davis Daily Staff Writer

Auto accidents are unfortunate events that occur everyday on U.S. roadways. They vary in ferocity from fender benders to multiple car pileups, but one thing remains constant — the severity of weather increases the number of accidents increases accordingly.

Motorists need to understand the correct procedure in order not to cause additional accidents or harm to themselves.

The first step would be to avoid accidents altogether — at the first sign of inclement weather, drivers should slow down and create space between their vehicle and the one in front of them.

A distance of two to three car lengths should be sufficient at 30 mph, so at highway speeds that distance needs to be expanded, said ISU Police Sgt. Elliot Florer.

People are generally unsure of what to do immediately following an accident. Sometimes, though, the initial impulse may be to leave the scene, which could result in a citation or worse if

Danica Patrick was far from impressive in her second race in the Nationwide Series on Saturday.

Patrick posted a 31st place finish, three laps behind winner Kyle Busch at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.

“I wanted to finish, and the expectation of staying on the first lap was probably not realistic and I knew that,” Patrick said. “It wasn’t so pretty to start, but I came here and did what I wanted today.”

Despite the relative optimism from both Patrick and crew chief Tony Eury, Jr., Patrick made mistakes and got caught speeding twice on pit road.

What Patrick did have to hang her hat on was the fact that, unlike her debut at Daytona, she was running at the finish and made improvements over the course of the event. She was not caught up in an accident — but was far from exciting.

“I need to set goals at the beginning of the race, and if I meet them, then I need to be happy,” Patrick said. “And as long as I’ve learned, too, then what can I be mad about?”

Patrick will race this Saturday in the Nationwide Series race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. She will then return to the IZOD IndyCar Series and run its full schedule before returning to the Nationwide Series.

For tips on driving and maintaining your car during winter, find this story at iowastatedaily.com. there are injuries in the accident. The first step after the impact is to assess the damage, which can be defined by the physical damage to the automobiles or injuries to the occupants or bystanders.

If there are any serious injuries leave the vehicles as they are along with the injured occupants inside and wait for emergency services to arrive. If only physical damage is caused and both cars are functioning, then pull to the side of the road. Next, if possible turn on the vehicles emergency hazard lights to alert fellow motorists.

Do not hesitate to call the police whether or not injuries are present; obtaining a police report provides a legal record of the accident.

Florer further explained that it is the police’s job “to investigate the accident and, if they can determine who is at fault, provide legal action against them.”

Furthermore, having the police at the scene allows for an experienced set of eyes to analyze and alleviate the situation, Florer said.

The importance of obtaining this legal record is paramount for accurate insurance claim purposes but also in case legal action is taken.

Making an insurance claim can become a complicated situation, but one thing to remember is filing a police report does not automatically mean that an insurance claim will be filed, Florer said.

Florer recommended people make sure that a current copy of their insurance and registration should be carried at all times, otherwise a citation may be issued. Florer suggested that removing expired registration and insurance cards will alleviate any confusion with the exchange process.

A representative from State Farm Insurance recommended keeping a disposable camera in a glove box; this will provide indisputable proof of the damage caused.

Johnson earns career win No. 48 in close call

By Jeremiah Davis Daily Staff Writer

Driver No. 48 notched career win No. 48 Sunday at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.

Jimmie Johnson, four-time and defending Sprint Cup champion, got a lucky break while on Recall pit road when a caution came late in the race, and he was able to beat the leader off of pit road and remain on the lead lap.

Since he had made his stop before the leaders, Johnson was able to take the lead when they pitted under caution. He was able to hold off Richard NEW YORK — Toyota said Monday it reChildress Racing teammates Kevin Harvick and ceived a subpoena from a U.S. federal grand Jeff Burton over the final 20 laps to take the win. jury seeking documents related to unintended “Yeah, the deal on pit row, there’s no way acceleration in its vehicles and the braking sysaround it, we got lucky,” Johnson said. “We were tem of its Prius hybrid, indicating a criminal running fourth or fifth at the time, so it’s not like we investigation of its safety problems has begun. totally backed into this thing.

But Johnson was quick to remind everyone that it wasn’t just luck that got him to victory lane Sunday or at any other race.

The race itself was threatened by rain throughout the day, as clouds surrounded the Since 1987 race track for much of the day.

Burton and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were among several drivers to serve penalties for speeding, a day after 12 drivers were penalized in the Nationwide race.

Harvick did rebound to second, right ahead of teammate Jeff Burton, who finished third. For the second consecutive week the RCR cars, including the third teammate Clint Bowyer, who finished eighth, showed how strong they were, running in the top 10 all race long.

After a dismal 2009, the RCR drivers are extremely happy with how the this year’s season has started off.

“We felt good about what happened in the fall, over the winter ... I had quite a bit of confidence coming in,” Burton told The Associated Press. “But until everybody gets out here and they’re going to give somebody a trophy you don’t really know where you stand.”

RCR was not the only team showing its prowess Sunday. Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin joined Johnson, who led the most laps en route to his victory, in the top 10 throughout the race.

The one exception was Earnhardt, who ran

poorly and ended up 33rd after breaking a rear axle.

Martin finished fourth, while Gordon had problems of his own, as engine woes saddled him with a 20th place finish.

Earnhardt, whose enormous fan base was encouraged by his dazzling second place comefrom-nowhere finish in the Daytona 500, was nowhere near the caliber of his teammates throughout the day.

The whole Hendrick operation committed itself to helping the 88 team return to form in the offseason. But Martin’s team, which shares a shop with Earnhardt’s 88 team, was much better Sunday.

The two teams promised to share information better this season. But the information must not have been transferred properly.

“Of course we are [sharing information],” Earnhardt said. “I can’t build the cars, what do you want me to do? I just drive them.”

But before the rear axle made a bad day worse, Earnhardt seemed encouraged by the adjustments they were making on the car.

DISORDERS from PAGE 1

They tend to be of typical body type, and you would never guess they are fighting an internal battle with eating.

“People tend to see someone that is really thin or really obese as having an eating disorder,” said Michelle Roling, staff psychologist of Student Counseling Service at Iowa State University. “But it’s important that we recognize and challenge that stereotype.”

If someone is struggling with eating disorder thoughts or behaviors but doesn’t have all of the symptoms of anorexia or bulimia, they may have an eating disorder not otherwise specified.

Studies show that far more people suffer from EDNOS than from bulimia and anorexia

combined and the health risks are just as great.

“They are having an internal argument, but you wouldn’t know it because they appear to be a normal weight, and they seem healthy to the point where you would never assume that they are struggling with an eating disorder,” Roling said.

Someone with EDNOS would meet the criteria for anorexia nervosa without the extreme weight loss, and they would fit the profile of someone with bulimia nervosa, except binges would occur much less at around two times a week within a three-month period or shorter.

Compensatory behaviors such as vomiting or an individual who repeatedly chews food and spits it out instead of swallowing are also characteristics of EDNOS. “Here at Student Counseling Service, I would say that because of the strict guidelines that are set for characterizing anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, eating disorders not otherwise specified is probably the most commonly treated,” said Erin

What impact does culture have on eating disorders?

About our culture and society ■■

American standards for ideal weight have become thinner and thinner over the past 20 years. During the same time period, the weight of the average adult has increased by five pounds due to improved nutrition.

Playboy centerfolds, Miss America pageant contestants and Olympic athletes have become thinner over the past 20 years.

There has been a significant increase in the number of diet articles appearing in popular women’s magazines. If any diet worked, there wouldn’t be so many diets.

A fifth category of eating disorders that has recently been in the news is the eating disorder orthorexia.

Orthorexia is currently defined as an obsession or overexcessive focus on eating healthy foods and developing excessive

year on diet products.

Eighty percent of all American women are on diets.

The average American woman wears size 12 to 14 clothing.

Most diets fail in the long run, causing dieters to repeatedly lose and regain weight, which is more of a health hazard then remaining large.

Our bodies may be biologically pre-programmed to weigh a certain amount.

■■

People subjected to semistarvation diets become preoccupied with food and dream about food.

Women need a fat level of ap-

healthy habits.

Orthorexia is being debated whether or not it will be considered an eating disorder in itself, or if the obsession with healthy food should be considered a symptom.

Two reviewed, published studies came out about orthorexia in January 2007, and

since then it has started to receive some media attention, with the New York Times recently publishing an article about the subject.

People who suffer from orthorexia often categorize with preservatives as “dangerous,” industrially produced goods as “artificial” and biological prod-

ucts as “healthy,” according to People’s Health.

They also associate uncontrollable eating with feelings such as nervousness, excitedness, happiness or guilt.

“I have seen this in the news recently,” Pederson said. “It will be interesting to see what happens with it.”

her “great secret,” the second being the difficulty of going out with friends when they went to go get ice cream.

“That’s the most stressful experience,” Hornsby said. “There are these two evils that you’re trying to battle.”

“Once I started to lose weight and people started to mention things I thought maybe it was a problem, but then I thought, ‘No, I have control over it, so it can’t be a problem because it’s my thing.’ I think a lot of people suspected and a lot of people wondered, but I wouldn’t tell them.”

Hornsby finally realized the effect her eating disorder was having on her around a year before her recovery began, when she hit the lowest point in her weight.

“I realized I didn’t have control over it and it had control over me,” she said.

When Hornsby was 16, she got hurt and developed a rare nerve disorder called reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome or complex regional pain syndrome in both her right

limbs.

“One of the medications the doctor put me on, one of the side effects was that it made you gain weight,” said Hornsby. “I hated it. It was the worst thing ever, but the pain was so much worse than the weight gain that I had to take it.”

Hornsby sank into a depression after she reached 130 pounds.

“I was so heavy compared to what I wanted to be,” she said. “I couldn’t deal with it.”

But once Hornsby was taken off the medication, she began to lose weight again because she finally had control once more. Something had changed, though.

“Having the weight back made me think clearer because you know once you’ve begun starving yourself for so long it gives you this energy and you feed off it,” Hornsby said.

“When you skip a meal, it feels like this triumph. But once I started gaining the weight back, I was hungry again and that was something I hadn’t really experienced.”

■■ Excessive dieting can lead to irritability, depression, withdrawal and sexual disinterest.

■■ Bingeing is the body’s natural response to excessive dieting. The more you diet, the more you feel the need to eat. The best defense against bingeing is to eat.

■■ Eating Disorders are an ineffective means of weight management.

Hornsby said. “And he was just kidding, you know, but at that age with teenage girls and their hormones, I took it really personally.”

And so Hornsby’s eating disorder began.

“I thought about it for a while and I thought, ‘No, I don’t [need the second helping],’” she said.
