Branstad nominates major donor By Tyler.Kingkade iowastatedaily.com The co-founder of one of the nation’s largest ethanol companies, who donated more than $162,000 to Gov. Terry Branstad’s 2010 campaign, might sit on the Board of Regents, overseeing the Rastetter budgets of Iowa’s public universities. On Friday afternoon, Branstad named Bruce Rastetter, CEO of Amesbased Hawkeye Energy Holdings; Katie Mulholland, superintendent of Linn-Mar Mulholland Community School District and Nicole Carroll, a lawyer, as his appointments for the Board of Regents. The three would first have to be confirmed by the Democratic-controlled Iowa Senate. Rastetter played a significant role in politics as he provided the seed money, estimated to be around $374,025, for the American

Study finds reasons for confessions By Brandon.Hallmark iowastatedaily.com “Throughout history, there are cases of people who falsely confessed, going back at least as far as the Salem Witch Trials. False confessions are not a new phenomenon,” said an associate professor at Iowa State. What is new is a study conducted by ISU psychology professors that attempts to answer questions about why innocent suspects will confess to crimes. In an interrogation, suspects are put under pressure to confess to a crime, even if they didn’t commit it. Generally, interrogated suspects are believed by police to be the one who committed the crime as evidence may indicate that person is guilty. As a result, the more the suspect denies the accusation, the more pressure interrogators will put on them to confess. “The minute you give the police what they want, which is that confession, they’re going to stop pressuring you,” said Stephanie Madon, associate professor of psychology. “Essentially, you can put a stop to the immediate aversiveness by confessing.”

Cafes work to further sustainability By Elisse.Lorenc iowastatedaily.com A variety of green initiatives are implemented when students come to purchase lunch, a snack or their morning coffee at their cafe of choice. Kristi Patel, assistant director of retail operations, lists several initiatives, including the 35-cent discount for students who bring their own tumbler. “[The 35-cent discount] didn’t really catch on until last April, where we really did a big marketing push,” Patel said. “We looked to figure out how many coffee cups we were buying over a year’s time, and it was almost half a million cups, and to us that was a big ‘Wow, we need to use this information to market to our customers that these are all the cups that are going to the landfill,’ and if you bring in your own tumbler, you’re preventing one extra cup from the landfill, you’re saving money and you’re also being more green.” If students don’t bring their own tumblers, cafes like the one located at Hawthorn serve coffee to students in cups made of 10 percent recycled materials, and the sleeves are made

Equality
Program encourages election runs By Hilary.Bassett iowastatedaily.com On June 10, Iowa State University will host a one-day workshop giving people, namely women, the opportunity to follow one of two tracks that deal with either running for office or getting more involved in politics and public service. Ready to Run is a program that began at Rutgers University in New Jersey as a way to encourage and train women to run for office at many different levels. From its start in 1998 until now, New Jersey has climbed from the bottom third in the nation for electing women to the legislature to number 11. In 2007, Ready to Run went national, and Iowa State’s Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women in Politics was offered a grant to start their own program because of Iowa’s low ranking among the nation. Iowa, along with Mississippi, Vermont and Delaware, has never sent a woman to the U.S. Congress, but both Vermont and Delaware have elected a woman governor, which Iowa has yet to do. Women are also underrepresented in Iowa’s legislature. Ready to Run is open to both

women and men, from high school students to senior citizens, who are either interested in running for office or just want to become more politically active. “We really have a big push in ours that if you don’t want to run for office, then get involved with a local or county board or commission,” said Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women in Politics. Many of the goals set for Ready to Run come from Rutgers, but Iowa has tweaked those goals a little to better fit Iowa. “One of the things that we are really concerned about in Iowa is that we really target all levels of
office,” Bystrom said. “Other campaign schools are concerned really with just the state legislature and U.S. Congress, but we kind of feel in Iowa that we want to be very broad in our approach, and so we also have sessions for people who might be interested in school board.” Some topics that are covered include message development, fundraising and developing a campaign, but with the changing times come new topics that need covering. This year the workshop will be adding the topic of issue-advocacy as well as an emphasis on social media. But some goals have not been
fully realized in the past two workshops. “I would really like to get more students involved,” Bystrom said. In 2009, there were only five ISU students out of 60 and between 10 to 15 students overall. This year, the Catt Center has added a new incentive for students to participate. When the students pay and show up to the workshop, they will be guaranteed a $50 scholarship. The workshop costs $75 for those who register by May 28th and $100 for any forms turned in after the initial date. The registration form can be found online on the Catt Center’s website.

‘The Hangover – Part II’ teaser trailer arrives The Wolf Pack is back! A oneminute teaser for the eagerly anticipated “The Hangover – Part II” has just been released, and it looks like things will literally get ugly for the guys as they travel to Bangkok for Stu’s wedding. In the clip, Jay-Z’s “Reminder” plays over scenes of a filthy hotel room, complete with a cockroach crawling across a clock radio straight out of the ‘70s and a bathroom that could stand a visit from Mr. Clean. Quite a difference from the Las Vegas luxury suite the men stayed in last time around! Next, a monkey is seen leading Phil (Bradley Cooper), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Stu (Ed Helms) through a Thailand market. Stu, who lost a tooth in the original “Hangover,” now sports a tattoo on his face similar to the one worn by Mike Tyson (who had a cameo in the first film). The film hits theaters Memorial Day.
Vanessa Hudgens talks new butterfly neck tattoo Zac Efron’s ex Vanessa Hudgens flaunted a new companion at last night’s L.A. premiere of her film “Beastly”: a tiny butterfly on her neck. Hudgens got the insect art during a recent visit to New York City and said she couldn’t wait to show it off. “I’ve actually wanted it for years, and it kind of spontaneously happened ... I’m all for spontaneity,” she said. The name “Vanessa” reportedly means “butterfly,” according to Just Jared Jr, and it was Hudgens’ pal, Australian MTV VJ Ruby Rose, who convinced her to get inked at New York’s popular Bang Bang.

The “American Idol” Top 24 has been formed with only one upset – no Jacee Badeaux. The 15-year-old fan favorite from Louisiana didn’t make the cut, losing out on the final male slot to friend and fellow teen contestant, Brett Loewenstern. Producers managed to drag out two hours Thursday as the contestants walked the long runway before taking a seat before the judges. It was good news for several early front-runners, including Laina Alaina, Jacob Lusk – who judge Randy Jackson hailed as giving the “single best performance ever on ‘Idol’ for his rendition of ‘God Bless the Child’” – and James Durbin, who has a very Adam Lambert-like screech. The group is broken down

Lisa Rinna passed on ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Before there was Camille Grammer, there was Lisa Rinna. Well, sort of. In a new interview, Rinna reveals that she was approached to join the season one cast of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” but ultimately turned it down to co-star with hubby Harry Hamlin in TV Land’s “Harry Loves Lisa.” “We were in discussions originally,” Rinna said of the Bravo series, which went on to star Grammer, Kim and Kyle Richards, Taylor Armstrong, Adrienne Maloof and Lisa VanderPump. “I was up for it, and at the time I did my show instead of Beverly Hills. It was part of the process, but then my show came along, so I ended up doing our show.”
Franklin comments on Fantasia’s Grammy skip Aretha Franklin is giving Fantasia Barrino a lesson in “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” after the young star skipped the Grammys because she wasn’t asked to participate in the tribute to the Queen of Soul. According to Franklin, Fantasia better think before she acts. “I was sorry to hear that Fantasia was upset because she did not get the opportunity to participate in my Grammy Tribute this year,” Franklin said in a statement. “I recall that in the past, Fantasia participated in both my MusicCares Person of the Year Tribute and my United Negro College Fund Tribute.”
Natalee Holloway story inspires Lifetime movie, Natalee Holloway has been missing since 2005, but the fascination with her disappearance remains stronger than ever.

An uncertain future Governments react to protests in Middle East By Katherine.Marcheski iowastatedaily.com Since Tunisians began protesting their government in December, several other Middle Eastern countries have had protests of their own for rights that the people have been oppressed from for years. Morocco, Algeria, Jordan, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Egypt, Bahrain, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia are the main countries that have begun protests to win freedom for their people. In countries like Egypt it was an effort to overthrow a dictator and in other cases just to distribute power more equally. The true question right now is what happens next, said Dr. David Cunningham, professor of political science. Cunningham said this question is unanswerable. “We don’t know. We don’t even know what’s going to happen in Egypt, let alone the other countries, and their president is gone,” Cunningham said. Although Egypt was successful in getting their formerPresident Mubarak to step down, the country’s future remains undetermined. This situation is the case in each of the other nations as well. “Removing a disliked power from the government is different than putting in a democratic government,” Cunningham said. These conflicts may seem disheartening to Americans,
due to the death tolls and the lack of freedom, but Americans also forget what these issues mean for them. “It is extremly unclear who is going to come to power, [and] if it’s even democratic, and what that means for the United States,” Cunningham said. Steffen Schmidt, professor of political science published an article, “Revolution in North Africa and the Middle East” in the Iowa Insider, which provided more understanding to the issues of the Middle East. “[The leaders of these countries] lived high on the hog while average citizens stagnate without enjoying rising standards of living,” Schmidt said in his article. “In this area of the world even people with university degrees drive taxis or eke out a living because these countries have not encouraged and enabled real economic growth and opportunity,” Schmidt said. In his article, Schmidt also pointed out that another reason for the uprises is the suppression of personal freedom, expression and dignity for the people in each of these countries. Throughout these uprisings in the Middle East, the United Nations and the United States have tried to keep a safe distance while still offering their support during these times, in order to preserve and promote peace and safety both in the United States and throughout the rest of the world. As a region engulfed in political movements, all eyes remain on the Middle East as its various people work toward gaining more rights and

Widespread unrest continues throughout the Arab world 1. Morocco
Moroccan citizens protested in efforts to spread out the power from the King to an elected government, to make the justice system equal and legitimate. Poverty is a pressing issue in Morocco and King Mohammed has failed to recognize the issue and is not improving the situation with his leadership.
2. Algeria Protests in Algeria have also sparked out of economic frustrations that have led to little positive progress. Police broke up protests and riots that have been occurring since January.
3. Tunisia After Tunisia’s unrest among citizens beginning in January, the president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali left power and moved to Saudi Arabia. The power was handed over to Mohamed Ghannouchi as Prime Minister until elections can take place in July. Citizens have suggested trials for war crimes against Ben Ali for the disasters that took place during the protests, reported BBC. Protests in Tunis, the capital, started in efforts to get the current interim President Mohamed Ghannouchi to back down before July. These clashes have led to civilian deaths.
4. Libya Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has been in control of Libya since
1969. Protests began on Feb 16 and on Feb 22 Gaddafi made threatening comments to his citizens of execution and civil war. Fighter jets have flown over citizens, shootings have occurred in protests and security checkpoints have been set up in various locations around the capital. The United Nations has made attempts to stimulate peace but no improvements have been made to Libya due to Gaddafi’s endless supply of power within his regime.
5. Egypt Mubarak ruled Egypt for 30 years until his power became jeopardized, and unrest dictated the country. Feb 11 marked the day that Hosni Mubarak finally resigned from power and allowed the armed forces to keep the peace for the next 6 months until political elections can take place.
6. Syria Syria has remained relatively calm for their desires and needs as a country. Syria was very supportive of the fall of Mubarak from Egypt, but the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is working toward the reforms the citizens have expressed concern for.
7. Jordan Protests in Jordan have sparked due to citizens desiring employment and lower costs. A new
cabinet was elected Feb 10.
8. Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia’s issues have really come down to Islamist violence and the necessity pressing the country to reform its ways. Saudi Arabia is wealthy to due the success of the oil industry, but issues have been circulating lately relating to the political groups and pressures.
9. Yemen Yemen is torn between supporters and opposers of the President, Ali Abdullah Saleh, and the protests have stabbed at the unity of the country. Saleh said he would not run again after his 3 decades of being in power, nor would he elect his son to the position. Five people were killed in the clashes between protesters.
10. Bahrain Bahrain is split on more than just who should lead the country, but by religion and political association. The Sunni-Muslim group is the monarchy in charge, but the Shia is the majority group. Unrest unraveled in the streets Feb 17 resulting in four deaths after police tried to control the situation. The Shia group wants the political figures to resign, however other statements have been made about amending the constitution and letting prisoners go.
Iran has a different situation. Iran’s government is composed of democracy and Islamic law. And their protests were for different causes than seen elsewhere. Outburts began Feb. 14 when protests for solidarity for the Middle East happened at the capital. The movement turned violent when civilians were injured and two were shot dead. The protest was organized by the two opposition leaders Mehdi Karoubi and Mir Hossein Mousavi, who are now being called for execution. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected in 2005 and has been adamant against all protests, reports BBC, hoping to keep Iran out of upheaval as the rest of the Middle East unravels.

from 60 percent of recycled materials. When it comes to recycled materials, Caribou Coffee uses 100 percent-recyclable coffee sleeves. The cafe is also trying to cut down on the overall use of the sleeves, leaving the cooler caffeinated beverages sleeveless. “We have also started not putting a sleeve on every drink; the drinks that are made in the espresso bar are not as hot as the drinks that would come out of the coffee brewer,� said Angela Witt, manager of dining services for the Hub and Caribou. “We started putting a basket of sleeves on the counter so if people wanted a sleeve, they can take one, hoping to reduce our overall usage of that product in general, and it’s also promoting people to purchase a reusable sleeve or use a tumbler and reduce the amount of cups in general.� Caribou strives to reduce the overall use of coffee sleeves, but the cafe is also driven to get all their coffee certified by the Rainforest Alliance by the end of 2011. “Right now [our Caribou has] over 85 percent [of the coffee] certified; 100 percent of the espresso is already certified,� Witt said. The Rainforest Alliance is
Research shows people have a natural tendency to place more value on the immediate consequences, said Max Guyll, assistant professor of psychology. But, according to Guyll, instances of false confession, although they do occur, are rare. “Sometimes there’s the rare mistake that can occur. And what we’re trying to understand is why people might, in those rare instances, end up falsely confessing.� The study involved two experiments that were designed to have an immediate or longterm consequence based on participant’s responses. “So they’re faced with the same sort of situations that real suspects are faced with,� Madon said. “They’re either going to have to deal with the bad stuff now, or they can escape it, but if they do that, then they might have to deal with the bad stuff later.� In both experiments, participants were asked 20 questions about their unethical and criminal behaviors. In the first, for every “No� response, the participant was asked repetitive additional questions. For every “Yes�, the participants were told that they would not be asked the questions, but would be speaking with a police officer at a later date. In the second, the opposite was the case. Participants would meet with a police officer for every “No� answer and would be asked the additional questions at a later date for every “Yes.� In both, subjects were informed of both the immediate and long-term consequences before the questioning began. In both experiments, the participants would generally attempt to avoid the immediate consequence, regardless of the long-term consequence. “In both studies, what we showed was that participants made their confession decisions on the basis of the immediate consequence,� Madon said. “We were pretty excited by that effect because several prominent researchers have proposed that this is what’s happening in interrogations but it hadn’t been tested before.� However, Madon added the experiment only dealt with one factor of confession. “We were focusing on one single process as an explanation, recognizing that there are other factors there, also occurring at the same time,� Madon said. Regardless, both believe that the study will help shape the future of police interrogations. “First and foremost, we would like interrogations to produce accurate results,� Guyll said. “We believe that our research underscores the need for police interrogation reforms that limit the use of police interrogation methods that exacerbate suspects’ tendency to make confession decisions on the basis of shortterm benefits,� Madon said. Law enforcement’s goal is to arrest the guilty party, and both Madon and Guyll hope the research will help officers to convict the real criminals and keep innocent suspects out of jail. “I think police and researchers are on the same side,� Madon said.

a program committed to sustainability, dedicated not only to the environment but to the workers providing the beans as well. “Not only does it ensure that the coffee is produced in a sustainable way and the environment is protected; they ensure that their workers have access to clean water, nice living conditions, a decent wage and their children have access to education,� Witt said. While Caribou Coffee incorporates Rainforest
Alliance certified coffee, several cafes on campus are involved in another green initiative, Food at First. Cafes such as Bookends, Courtyard, HUB, MU and Hawthorn are all actively engaged with the program. “There’s a church in Ames where they come out to our facilities,� Patel said. “[The church has] a program where their volunteers come to our facilities and pick up [food] and take it back to this program.�
Now serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night!
Grounds for the Gardens is a program promoted preferably around Earth week, for students who are in the gardening mood. Cafes will save coffee grounds, giving the grounds to students to put back into the soils. Another focus that has all cafes on campus involved is the idea of implementing more compostable and recyclable materials. “You’ll notice that it’s kind of a struggle; Ames burns our trash, and we don’t have a program currently in retail to compost our post-consumer trash,� Patel said. “The focus that we have decided to take from a retail perspective on disposables is to try to purchase products that are made more environmentally friendly.� Currently there are some products on campus that are compostable, such as some of the silverware, fruit cups and cold beverage cups. Witt is also focused on implementing more recyclable, compostable materials, particularly with packaging. “We’ve also been trying to reduce the use of certain materials in our packaging. We have the compostable forks,
ÂŽ
spoons and knives, and any of the papers that we use, we got away from any sort of wax coating on those papers by just using a plain brown paper for a pastry bag or to wrap the subs in,� Patel said. “We are always on the search for products that we can use that reduce the carbon footprint and have more recycled materials or sustainable practices that go into their production.� At Hawthorn, a new recycling program will start to help employees monitor how much recyclables are used. “We are always looking for new ways to be more sustainable,� said Tatiana Twedt, manager of Hawthorn Cafe. Hawthorn currently recycles cardboard boxes along with plastic bottles; the cafe hopes to use more base compostable materials in their packaging. “It’s this fine line between if we’re not composting them, it’s going into the trash, it’s being burned to produce energy,� Patel said. As students continue to dine at Iowa State, the cafes will continue to improve themselves, with intentions to serve students more sustainably.

Economy forces shop to close doors By Nicole.McIntosh iowastatedaily.com For 76 years, Ames residents have been able to stop by a locally-owned chocolate shop and pick up a little treat, but Monday will be the last day for Temptations on Main. Due to cutbacks from businesses that in past years have been able to give Temptations the kind of business that has allowed them to sell ice cream at a dollar, they will permanently close their doors. “It was what really [helped] us keep prices low,” said Tim Coble, owner of Temptations. When Coble and his wife Janice took over the business six years ago, they reached new business markets that hadn’t been touched before. These companies would buy a chocolate basket for the holidays for their employees or send them to clients or other things like that. In past years with the poor economy, chocolates were some of the extras that have been cut from budgets. “The first thing you do is tighten up on extravagant things, and let’s face it, candy and chocolate are one of the things they cut back on,” Tim Coble said. The Cobles have owned the shop for the last six years. They live in Des Moines but have been active in the Ames community. Tim was the president of the Main Street Cultural District, and the Cobles attend a variety of events around town as well as ISU games and events. Both the owners were sympathetic to what the businesses around Ames are going through. Both expressed that if it’s chocolate versus jobs, then closing their doors is much easier. “We understand what they are all up against; they are making decisions to lay people off and all kinds of things, and so this is one little piece of the mix,” Janice said. “But it does all fit together.” The Cobles are still working on their plans for once the shop is closed, but they are excited to see what happens in Ames over the next few years. They are still planning on being involved around the community. ™

Legislature retains busy schedule The seventh week of the 2011 legislative session was filled with action:
Clean Air Act: HSB75 is a study bill that relates to fees being assessed for activities regulated under the federal Clean Air Act. The bill pays specific attention to Title V fees. The fee will not be more than $56 per ton of regulated air pollutant emitted from a major stationary source. Administrative Rules: SF232 would require periodic review of administrative rules by administrative agencies. Economic Commission: SF179 would create a Red Tape Commission for economic development purposes. The commission exists to review state law and assess the effects of the law on Iowa’s economic future. Economic Reorganization: HSB103 would serve as a structural reorganization bill for the Department of Economic Development, which is subject to oversight from the Economic Development Board. Division I of the bill eliminates both the Department and the Board. In their place the bill creates the Partnership for Economic Progress, The Economic Progress Authority and the Economic Progress Corporation. Eminent Domain: HF64 would change Iowa’s eminent domain procedures and authority which includes dates and applicability provisions. The bill provides that any action of eminent domain by the state needs to have a signed authorization by the Governor. The bill also changes the standard of proof from a preponderance of evidence to clean and convincing evidence for an action. Taxpayers First Act: HF45 after many amendments covers the following issues Prohibits legislators and legislative employees from having a better health care plan than executive branch employees Limits sabbaticals to not more than 3 percent of faculty through the end of FY2012 Denies state benefits to adult illegal aliens Requires the sale or lease of the Iowa Communications Network Prohibits purchase of new state vehicles Eliminates the Rebuild Iowa Office and moves responsibilities to the Department of Homeland Security

Restaurant responsibility Indian Delights gives students valuable work roles By Ben.Theobald iowastatedaily.com An ISU alumnus is giving students a unique opportunity. Dipak Biswas is the owner of Indian Delights, 127 Dotson Drive, which currently has eight ISU students employed. The restaurant opened at the end of September 2009. “They are the best to hire,” Biswas said. “I want to help the students.” Biswas is an ISU alumnus and used to work at Iowa State. “I went to graduate school at Iowa State,” Biswas said. “I used to work for Iowa State in the Memorial Union and at Reiman Gardens.” The student employees do a number of roles and jobs at Indian Delights. “They advise the menus, pricing and they do all the forms,” Biswas said. “They help a lot.” The key to students making an impact through their work is motivation. “The students can really make a huge difference by putting their input by showing being motivated,” Biswas said. “If we motivate the students they can do a lot of things.” The restaurant is essentially run by the students. “It’s very student oriented and student driven,” Biswas said. “All the students are very intelligent. They come in on time, and I don’t have to really follow them up with anything; they bring their ideas.”
Indian Delights, owned and operated by ISU alumnus Dipak Biswas, employs eight ISU students. Biswas said he wants to help students and that their roles at the restaurant are very involved. Indian Delights offers different wines and candled-dinner. Photo: Yue Wu/Iowa State Daily
Jordan Nystrom, junior in geology, was hired at Indian Delights in early January this year. “I saw a job ad for Indian Delights on the student job board online,” Nystrom said. “Then I gave them a call, and it just kind of worked out.” Nystrom helps in any way that he possibly can at Indian Delights. “I do a little bit of everything or anything that needs to be done,” Nystrom said. “If there is no one else here then I’ll be a server and wait tables. Otherwise I’ll be in the back to help prepare food or cleaning dishes.” Ellen Even, senior in communication studies, noticed there was an Indian restaurant opening and went to see if they were hiring.
“I called Dipak and gave him my resume,” Even said. Even wanted a job at Indian Delights because it is different than other restaurants. “I like the fact that it is a smaller, locally-owned restaurant,” Even said. “It’s not a part of a chain of restaurants.” The atmosphere among student employees is positive. “It’s really enjoyable,” Even said. “We get along really well. It’s different than working at other regular restaurants,” she said. For Nystrom, working at Indian Delights has helped prepare him for his future by getting used to working hard under certain circumstances.
“I’m getting used to working really hard under a boss,” Nystrom said. “When it gets busy, it is really high pressure; we usually have one or two people working at a time so sometimes it can get a little hectic.” For Even, working at Indian Delights has helped her work on communication. “I’ve been interacting with customers,” Even said. “Working at Indian Delights has been helping my communication skills that I get from working with customers.” Nystrom said he enjoys coming to work every day. “It’s a great job, I love working here,” Nystrom said. “The stuff the students do really contributes to the business. It’s kind of almost student owned.”
Cancer
Fundraiser expands causes By Nicole.McIntosh iowastatedaily.com Fight Like a Girl has been a huge fundraising tool for breast cancer, but there are more types of cancer than just the one pink stands for. Signify Pink decided to expand their line to include more than just breast cancer. There are now six different colors that make up the One Cause Fits All line that raises money for all types of cancer. “Over the past two years, we’ve had a lot of people ask us for apparel and fundraiser to help people with other cancers,” said Glenda Elliot, account executive. Kelly Flaucher, a mammography technologist in Waterloo, who wanted to raise money for Mary Seitz who is a nurse in her office, started Fight Like a Girl in 2008. Together with Sigler Promotions they came up with the Fight Like a Girl campaign. After raising the $20,000 needed for Seitz’s medical expenses, they gave the campaign to Sigler and asked that they keep raising money for the cause. Today the original four pieces have expanded into a 39-page catalog and raised more than $500,000. People were happy with Fight Like a Girl, and it has been a huge fundraising tool for breast cancer, but people wanted more. Breast cancer is just one of many types, and requests started pouring in for something that repre-
One Cause Fits All colors

sented all cancers. One Cause Fits All has green for kidney cancer and lymphoma, pink for breast cancer, orange for leukemia and melanoma, blue for ovarian cancer, purple for pancreatic and general cancer and yellow for childhood and bone cancer. There is also a line for survivors, which is in purple — the American Cancer Society’s color for survivors. Signify Pink is also looking into adding gray for lung cancer in the near future as well as expanding the current lines with more merchandise. Each line is starting off with four pieces but will expand based on how the fundraisers go. The difference with One Cause Fits All and Fight Like a Girl is how the fundraising works.
Individuals with cancer, family members or someone who just wants to raise money for the cause can sell the shirts, hats and other merchandise to raise money for someone. The money goes straight to the person or cause they are raising money for. Signify Pink also puts together a Party in a Box. It has all the supplies to have a party to raise money. They ship it directly to you and even include a return label and marketing material for you. Right now they are doing just the Fight Like a Girl boxes that include One Cause Fits All merchandise, but they plan on making One Cause Fits All boxes soon. There is also the option online to make a store and direct the people to your personal spot so the proceeds go directly to a specific person or cause. The diversity of the people that have utilized the fundraiser range from individuals with cancer, their friends and family, runners raising money for a race and sorority houses for philanthropy. “Instead of just going around asking for money, people love to get a really great item for their money and the quality is fabulous,” Elliott said. Signify Pink not only has created a tool for others to use in their fundraisers, but the online retail store donates its proceeds to Free Clinics of Iowa and the wholesale division donates their proceeds to the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center in Iowa City.

Editorial
Letter from the Opinion Editor For the life of me, I have absolutely nothing to talk about. Shocking, I know. Rest assured we’re plenty pissed with the antics of House Republicans both here and in Washington D.C., what, with the “deficit-reduction” aimed at piddly things like, oh, public education, as opposed to something like, I don’t know, not conducting a land war in a mountain range halfway around the world. That is, when they’re not treating ‘the gays’ like second-class citizens, crying wolf about the integrity of a practice that, at best, is a good way to never have sex again and at worst, is a great way to lose half of your earthly possessions (and your soul) to someone who hates you. In this economy, no less. Moral of the story: This is what happens when Grandma and Grandpa vote, and you don’t. But hey, that’s alright – no need for things like preschool or affordable college during a budget crisis. More ethanol subsidies! More swanky benefits for government employees! I suppose I could mention how we’re still taking applications for the Editorial Board, and how by “applications’” I mean a nice, shiny e-mail telling me you’d like to be opinionated in board-y fashion. It’d definitely be nice if there were more than five people on the Board, and even nicer if the majority wasn’t Daily staff. I hope everyone’s been enjoying the section. I’ve been wearing my editor pants for almost two months now, and it’s been great hiring new people to complement a pretty solid stable of writers. I’m always looking for those, by the way. The only thing I ask is that you’re interesting and mildly articulate. Perendinate. Assuade. Caesura. No, you don’t need to be a journalist, nor do you need to be a writer. I’m one of two biology majors on staff, there’s a KURE DJ, an Aussie, a few engineers and I just hired a rocket scientist. If you’ve noticed the snazzy new art, that’s thanks to three new illustrators, which is three more than we had last semester. If you’re artistically inclined, I promise we’ve got more than enough work to commission – Rick’s story about IBM slowly turning into Skynet over there could most definitely have used some animated robot overlords. I’d like to apologize for a few things while you’re still here – letters have taken a backseat lately while we’re busy opining about the protests here, there, and everywhere. Rest assured, we want to hear from you. We need to. On average, I get two pages per day, and most days I wish I had more. Keep ‘em comin’. Lastly, I’ve instituted a moratorium on shmishmortion-related columns. Indefinitely. Enjoy your adventure. I am. Editorial Board

Laptops

Your laptop is your enemy
By Cameron.Leehey iowastatedaily.com
Laptops in the classroom are an expensive distraction
I
am very fond of my laptop computer. Before setting foot in my first ISU class, I took out a sizable student loan and purchased the laptop most capable of satisfying my technological needs and desires Modern word processing and a wireless Internet connection have aided me greatly in researching and writing papers from any location. PowerPoint, as many of you know, is a fantastic resource for transforming poorly researched presentations into illusions of professionalism. And, of course, there is also a myriad of delightful programs that have no pertinence to school whatsoever – ranging from the relatively benign, such as iTunes, to the quintessentially pernicious, such as World of Warcraft. But let us set those extraneous functions of our robots aside for the moment and reflect upon how we justified purchasing these devices in the first place: to help us in college. Admittedly, our campus is richly furnished with modern, reliable machines, but one cannot rely upon a console to be unoccupied in a moment of crisis, e.g. when a forgotten paper
is due in three hours. Furthermore, libraries do not always offer an atmosphere conducive to productivity – sometimes, it seems, people gather in them to procrastinate socially – so the ability to work off-campus can be critical. And finally, having a laptop at one’s immediate disposal does away with the inconvenience of marching through subzero temperatures and fierce precipitation in order to complete an assignment. But why we do we drag our laptops to class with us? Seldom do we require them on campus, due to the aforementioned abundance of computers, for which Iowa State liberally charges us each semester. Most classrooms, at least most classrooms I have been in, do not have adequate desktop space for anything larger than a 13-inch MacBook or one of those ridiculous, pursesized PCs. Even when desktop space is not so scarce, these sophisticated, little machines of ours wind up performing a function better served by a notebook and a pen. Sure, it could be argued that sometimes, since typing is faster than writing, a laptop is the superior note-taking device, but it is rarely a dominant strategy to produce gigantic tomes of notes for a given class. Much of the time, jotting down a short phrase or list gets the job
done. Besides, if you rely upon your laptop for note taking, what do you do when the temperature is low enough to damage your LCD screen on the way to class? Are you really going to want to transport that expensive, fragile machine in your backpack when it is pouring rain? I have sat in the back of classrooms often enough to know what you are actually doing on your laptop. Nine times out of ten, you are online. Whether you are playing poker, cracking out on Facebook or just idly surfing, your mind is elsewhere. I am not the only one who notices –your professor does not need to see your screen to know that you are present in body only. Then again, I do not care if you waste your time in class, and it is possible that your professor does not care either. It is a quandary, though, why a person would spend such sizable quantities of time and money on an education, only to ignore it. Maybe you do not mean to ignore your classes, maybe the temptation to frolic on the Internet is simply too strong to resist after 35 minutes of a lecture. Maybe that darling laptop of yours, though otherwise a loyal ally, is actually an enemy once you take it into a classroom?
Computers
John Connor will save us all By Rick.Hanton iowastatedaily.com
S
o for those of you that watched IBM’s Watson 3000 processor supercomputer take on Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter a couple weeks ago, were you rooting for the humans or the computer? I for one, was rooting for the humans, maybe because I couldn’t connect to the computer on an emotional level or possibly because I have a tendency to root for underdogs. It is tough to see IBM slowly show that their computers can be smarter than the smartest humans we can find. First it was Deep Blue showing the benefits of thinking dozens of steps ahead of the current move in a chess game, now it’s Watson showing that computers can gain an amazing level of comprehension of human speech to answer knowledge questions. What will it be next? Will sites like Google slowly gain the uncanny language insight of Watson during the next decade? Just think about this, the combined main processors of Deep Blue back in 1997 (there were 30 of them) are today about as powerful as one of the most powerful consumer desktop processor chips. There are even chess-playing computer programs that can run on a laptop and can beat chess grandmasters today. In a decade, will there be smart robots the size of a Roomba that we can give verbal commands to? How cool would that be? Here at Iowa State, the closest thing we have to Jeopardy is Kaleidoquiz, the 26-hour trivia contest that happens this weekend thanks to KURE 88.5, our local campus radio station. It
Columnist Hanton writes that “it is tough to see IBM slowly show that their computers can be smarter than the smartest humans we can find.” Courtesy photo: John Tolva/Flickr
would really be nice if we had a Watson on our team this year to help us win Kaleidoquiz. As it is, my team and most of the others have become quite reliant on Internet search engines, so much that our main base of operations has been known as the Google Room for years. But those engines can be beat by hard questions or they can simply provide bad answers. Decades ago when Kaleidoquiz began, Google wasn’t in existence and neither was the Internet itself. Competitors instead raided Parks Library for information that could be sent back by pay phone to their teams. Like many
things today, Kaleidoquiz used to take much more footwork than it does now. Today with a simple point and click, we can get all the information we need, right at our fingertips. What will be the next big thing to be better organized by the millions of computer chips under desks and in data centers around the globe? Watson gained his Jeopardy genius by staring at and categorizing four terabytes of hand-picked data. In the same way, Google’s auto-translation engine became one of the best programs in the world at translating text by analyzing millions of translated documents
to create its own statistical logic about how to provide translations. How many other conveniences in our daily life are only made possible by millions of computers working hard on our behalf? I’m excited about what will happen in our computer-inundated future and hope you are too. The computing power in our office, in our house and now in our pocket keeps expanding endlessly. We just have to be careful to heed James Cameron’s warnings and not give the computers too much control. We don’t want to wake up one morning and find Skynet running the world.

Polyphasic sleeping... Star Trek-esque technology has arrived, no longer fiction at your own risk S W
By Heath.Verhasselt iowastatedaily.com
By Brandon.Blue iowastatedaily.com
ouldn’t it be nice to be awake 22 hours of your day, alert and refreshed? For me, there’s a lot of Dungeons and Dragons Online to play, but perhaps you’d stay up for a more noble pursuit. Either way, with our current sleep schedules, we spend about a third of our lives drooling on our pillows. The majority of us sleep by a mono- or biphasic sleep schedule, that is, one in which we have a core “sleep episode” at night, the former requiring no additional sleep and the latter including an afternoon nap. But to be a powerhouse of productivity (and who couldn’t use the extra time in college?), one has to adapt to a polyphasic sleep schedule, in which the time spent sleeping is broken up and shortened to anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. People that sleep through all their classes need read no further; they are already successful polyphasers. In fact, they’re following in the steps of famous sleepers through the centuries. Leonardo da Vinci is one of the first noted “polyphasers.” Legend has it that he slept for only two hours per day, napping for a half an hour at three-and-a-half-hour intervals. In the mid-20th century, Buckminster Fuller, an American futurist, experimented with the same sleep schedule as da Vinci. He rebranded it “Dymaxion,” and claimed that if American’s leaders adopted it, they would shorten WWII. Dr. Claudio Stampi, founder, director and proprietor of the Chronobiology Research Institute near Boston, wrote about polyphasic sleeping in his 1992 book “Why We Nap.” The book chronicles one of the few formal attempts at researching polyphasic sleep. A decade later in 2001, Dr. Stampi worked with Ellen MacArthur, that year’s secondplace winner of the Vendee Globe, a solo nonstop yacht race around the world, to develop a sleep system that allowed her to pilot her yacht as efficiently as possible. Flash forward to the present day – anyone who’s watched a cat sleeping pleasantly on a couch knows that polyphasic sleeping is common in the animal kingdom. That makes sense; small animals become small snacks if they sleep too long. Internet user Puredoxyk is perhaps the most experienced person with regard to polyphasic sleep, having been on both the
Uberman sleep schedule (six 20-minute-long naps spread equally throughout the day) and the Everyman schedule (a three-hour sleep episode at night and 3 20-minute-long naps through the day) for extended periods. In her 2008 book “Ubersleep,” Puredoxyk explains that someone following the Uberman schedule for 20 years gains about five years of time spent awake. Apply that over a lifetime and adherence to the Uberman nets you a little over a decade of “extra” time. But where Puredoxyk supports a strict schedule to maximize effectiveness and minimize sleep, psychologist Piotr Wozniak argues the very opposite. Dr. Wozniak’s theory is that the body consolidates sleep into a single main episode regardless of adapted schedule. By the reasoning of “Your body knows best,” he believes free running sleep, that is, sleeping whenever you feel like it, is the most efficient way to snooze. I can see one clear benefit of polyphasic sleep over free running sleep; I can have a life outside of sleeping. To be clear, there are no case studies tracking the health of long-term polyphasic sleepers. Fuller only managed a Dymaxion sleep schedule for a short while. Puredoxyk pulled off the Uberman in college; beyond that she seems to have switched to the Everyman, and even so, she’s only slept polyphasically since 1999. Sleep deprivation is a bad thing, filled with memory loss and cloudy cognition, which is to say nothing of the depression and occasional hallucinations. In my research I’ve not yet found an explanation as to why polyphasers are unaffected by sleep deprivation while getting at most four hours of sleep a night. This makes me unsure of the health factors of Puredoxyk’s experience. While she does point out that polyphasic schedules aren’t for everyone, I think the long-term health concerns about the Uberman or Everyman schedule make them better suited for situations where sleep deprivation is bound to occur, i.e. college. Adapting it as a lifestyle doesn’t seem wise to me, for one core reason. Would I really want it? Like the man who finds immortality, damned to watch those he loves die around them, my sleeping friends would surround me, and through the lonely nights, my sole consolation would be the Internet. I guess it wouldn’t be so bad after all.
o I’ll admit it, I’m a geek. I love science fiction, playing video games, computers, science and the obsession included with those hobbies. The other day, I was watching “Star Trek” with my roommate — “Star Trek Deep Space 9” if you really wanted to know — when one of the characters pulled out their tricorder, or handheld scanner for the non-Trekkie, I realized something. We as a society have managed to, in essence, “catch up” to “Star Trek” in terms of some of their technology. We have created our own tricorders. They’re called smartphones, and of course I’m kidding, but they’re pretty darn close to the real thing. Hear me out. So, what does a tricorder do? It scans things, analyzes information and records data. It gives us information we wouldn’t have had otherwise. Same goes for a smartphone, if not more. Turn on the GPS and you can know right where you are, where others are, and how to get directions to wherever you need to go. All smartphones are Internet enabled, giving you any information about any specimen or culture you may come into contact with, even Hawkeye fans. A lot of this can be made possible in thanks to an application called Google Goggles. This app allows you to take a picture of almost any landmark, book, art or other item and give’s you information about that item just from the picture of it. Now all you need is to put on a cool Bluetooth headset and you’ve got yourself a combadge to call back to the Enterprise. The most recent breakthrough has been translating

those foreign language classes you took back in high school useless. Keep in mind this is just one aspect of that world. We have yet to develop the advanced medicine they claimed to have on “Star Trek,” not to mention our lack of teleportation. I once overheard someone saying why they liked “Star Trek.” They made no mention of the cool devices or space ships, they said it was because they didn’t have money on the show, you got to do what you wanted for your career in life; you were able to help build a better society and were allowed “to boldly go where no one has gone before.” And I think that’s what it’s all about. As much of a fantasy world as that may seem, it’s always nice to think that such a day could be near. A day when there is actually world peace, food is “replicated” and you get to carry around a phaser. All we need now is a fleet of warp-capable ships and we’re good go.
languages on the fly. One aspect of the show that many overlook is the idea of the universal translator. When the characters on “Star Trek” came into contact with alien life, they spoke different languages. What you didn’t see was the computer in the background translating the language for both parties to understand and respond — that and it was easier for audiences. Well guess what? Google has made the universal translator, almost. The app is called Google Translate, and it has a special speech recognition mode. Simply start up the app, say what you want to say, and it’ll translate it and play it back in the other language. It then gives a second party the chance to respond in their language and Google Translate plays it back for you. Right now this app only goes from English to Spanish and back, but I can see this catching on, rendering all

In the end, after much debate, the vote was rescinded and proper presentation and debate of amendments was postponed. Had the voting been sustained, the bill would have passed a point in the legislation where it could be amended, leaving no room for future negotiation. Now, regardless of what you may think of the current state of politics in Wisconsin and regardless of your political alignment, corrupting of the legislative process is unacceptable. While it is true, one could point out that the session only began five or six minutes ahead of schedule. It seems like a small time difference, I grant you. But it is in the conduct of the Republicans after the debacle begins that is perhaps worse. Not only is the session started early, but amendments are skipped over on the agenda in order to get to the budget bill while the Democrats are still en route. Once the Democrats arrive on the scene, the Republican staff encouraged leaders to “keep going” despite cries of protest. These Republicans have the majority in the House, meaning they have little to fear from the sheer voting power of the Democrats. It seems they are simply working to avoid any possible debate and discussion
of proposed amendments. For a bill that proposes such drastic changes in the public employee unions, the least they could do is be open to discourse about the matter. As the protester turn-out has shown, a significant number of Wisconsin residents are opposed to passing the bill as it stands. The unions have shown willingness to concede benefits, as long as their bargaining rights remain intact. If the Republicans would take the time and have the decency to listen and debate the proposed amendments, perhaps a middle ground could be reached. Their eagerness to bypass proper conduct for their own purposes only incenses the opponents of the bill and increases the already tense negotiations. Hopefully these coming weeks will bring a compromise between the unions and the government of Wisconsin and the Republicans in Wisconsin owe it to their constituents to behave as upstanding members of the Assembly to which they were elected. No one is ever happy with budget cuts and changes that must be made in the current economy, but our government at least owes us a system that makes those changes fairly and with the due process that has been given to the legislative bodies.
e a k 2011!
an attempt to block the passing of the bill, the Wisconsin Assembly is still meeting to vote on amendments to various bills, including Walker’s. In a stunningly underhanded move last week, Wisconsin Republicans began an Assembly session before the scheduled time and without the Democratic representatives. Footage from the session shows the Republican speaker taking roll and beginning voting on amendments before Democrats had entered the chambers and before the time the session was to begin. About five minutes in, a Democrat representative runs into the room and clearly calls for a “point of privilege.” A point of privilege is typically used to address issues of misconduct within the assembly; and I hope most would agree, starting a session before it is scheduled and holding votes seems to fall into that category. Shockingly, the speaker plows right ahead with the voting, despite the first voice of protest. The Democrats then file in, a minute before the official start time of the session, with a loud uproar as the voting proceeds without them. The shouting eventually subsides enough for Rep. Peter Barca to demand he be recognized by the speaker and that the previous vote be thrown out.

am not usually one to get heavily involved in politics beyond social issues. I avoid discussions of fiscal policy or health care programs, mainly because I don’t want to give an opinion on a topic I haven’t thoroughly researched. Regardless of what the policies actually are, there is something to be said for the political process itself. America has a rather good system of checks and balances overall, but when one of those systems is corrupted, someone must speak up. Unless you pay no attention to the news, you will have heard of the recent protests in Madison, Wis. In short, the Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is pushing a budget bill that will take away all collective bargaining rights of public-employee unions. The bill would also force these employees to put 5.8 percent of their salaries toward their pensions as well as nearly double their health care premiums. While Democrats and Republicans have offered other plans and amendments for the bill, Walker refuses to budge. Unions have even agreed to the cutting of benefits, but remain steadfast in maintaining their collectivebargaining rights. While the Democratic senators remain out of state in

The No. 22 ISU gymnasts couldn’t pull off the season sweep against No. 15 Iowa on Friday, as the Hawkeyes defeated the Cyclones in the Cy-Hawk matchup 195.450-195.200. Despite the loss, the Cyclones (7-4-1, 1-2 Big 12) scored their highest team total away from Hilton Coliseum this season. Even though the end score wasn’t enough to match Iowa (6-5, 2-3 Big Ten), ISU coach Jay Ronayne was pleased with the team score. “This is our highest road score, and that helps us a lot,” Ronayne said. “Our score is something that is very important to us. We are trying to climb to the top 15 in the country by the end of the season.” Leading the Cyclones was junior Michelle Browning, who won the vault competition with a score of 9.825. Also performing strongly for Iowa State was freshman Camille Santerre-Gervais, winning the bars title while earning a score of 9.900 – tying a career high. The Cyclones return to action in their final home meet of the season in a rematch with the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The dual meet is set to begin at 7 p.m. Friday Dylan Montz. Daily staff writer

Teams pull mixed success at Big 12s The ISU women’s track and field team finished the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships with 66.50 points, tying the highest number of points they have ever scored at the event, and good enough for a sixth-place finish in Lincoln, Neb. The men didn’t fare as well, as they concluded the meet with a total of 24 points for 10th place. Nebraska won the women’s side with 115.50 points, while Texas A&M took the men’s title with 134 points. Defending men’s mile run, champion Hillary Bor finished in 4:08.95, two seconds behind the winner and good for fourth place. Meanwhile, on the women’s side, Betsy Saina and Laishema Hampton continued their strong seasons. Saina once again won the 5,000-meter run with a time of 16:14.96; Dani Stack finished the race in fifth place. Saina also placed third in the 3,000-meter run. Lucy Kennedy was runner-up in the event to Colorado’s Emma Coburn. Laishema Hampton finished second behind Texas Tech’s Kelly Closse in the weight throw. She had a throw of 64-08.50. Iowa State will prepare this week for the NCAA Qualifier at Lied Recreational Athletic Center at 10 a.m. Saturday. Kevin Shay, Daily staff writer
ISU splits weekend in Charleston, S.C. The ISU softball team traveled to Charleston, S.C. this weekend for the College of Charleston Cougar Classic, ending the round-robin play with a 3-2 record. On Friday, the Cyclones faced Marist College, followed by Liberty, in what would be the first game for both of their opponents. Freshman pitcher Bree Holliday got called to the mound to pitch against Marist in the first game. Holliday allowed just one run on three hits in four innings of work. The Cyclones, meanwhile, manufactured 10 runs on just seven hits, for a 10-1 victory. The team did not need much offensive output in the next game, as pitcher Rachel Zabriskie threw a shut-out against Liberty. On Saturday, Zabriskie pitched another strong game against Notre Dame. She allowed just one run, but still picked up the loss as the Cyclones managed only two hits and never had a runner advance past second base. A 5-2 Cyclone victory over Drexel was started Saturday night, but was called to a halt after five innings, as it became too late. Action resumed Sunday morning but it would not make a difference on the scoreboard. A 2-1 loss to the host team ended the weekend, with Zabriskie picking up the loss. Zach Gourley, Daily staff writer

Cyclones snap skid Cyclones pull off win in overtime battle with Cornhuskers By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com It wasn’t going to be easy, shaking off a 10-game losing streak and putting together a complete game. Cyclone fans knew that. The crowd at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday held its collective breath in the final moments, but the home team came out on top, beating Nebraska 83-82 in overtime. In the back-and-forth battle, Iowa State (15-14, 2-12 in Big 12) won its first game since Jan. 15. Nebraska’s (18-10, 6-8) Lance Jeter hit a big shot near the end of regulation to send the game to overtime, but Iowa State held on and joined Cyclone fans in a boisterous celebration. “It was relief, we finally won one,” said ISU senior forward Jamie Vanderbeken. “I forgot what it felt like to win. It felt amazing.” Jeter tied the game up with 3.4 seconds left in regulation with an isolation three-pointer, silencing the home crowd and pounding his chest. Jeter led all scorers with 27 points and added 10 rebounds and five assists. In overtime, he even hushed the home crowd’s excitement knocking down a runningthree with 0.8 seconds left in OT. “I was proud of the way the guys responded in overtime. We’ve lost so many close games, it didn’t seem like we’ve caught one break this season down the stretch,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “Jeter raised up and made a heck of a

Cyclones notch win No. 20 over KSU Iowa State secures fifthconsecutive 20-win season By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com Iowa State picked up its first road win in a month as tough defense and 33 combined points from Kelsey Bolte and Lauren Mansfield keyed a 58-51 victory over Kansas State on Saturday. The Cyclones (20-8, 8-6 Big 12) locked up their fifth-consecutive 20-win season with the win in Manhattan, Kan. “It was just a grind-it-out, do-anything-towin kind of game,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “I was very proud of our effort. We beat a very good team.” Iowa State got over its three-game road losing streak in Big 12 conference play with a stiff

defensive effort as they held the Wildcats (18-9, 8-6) to 36.4 percent shooting and didn’t allow a 3-point field goal until 3:47 remaining in the game. “When you go on the road and you hold their field goal percentage down and your field goal percentage is decent, you are in the game,” Fennelly said. After scoring only two first-half points, Bolte, the Cyclones’ leading scorer at 17.6 points per game, came alive in the second half as she nailed four 3-pointers en route to scoring 17 in the second half. “I was not very confident in the first half – I could not hit anything; in the second half I told

myself to just keep shooting, and coach told me to keep shooting, and that’s what I did,” Bolte said. The Wildcats brought Iowa State’s lead down to 53-49 with 23 seconds remaining, but five combined free throws by Mansfield and Bolte helped the Cyclones hang on for their third consecutive Big 12 win. “We certainly made enough hustle plays down the stretch to keep us in the game and get a good win for our team,” Fennelly said. KSU forward Jalana Childs, who had 21 points in the first meeting of the two teams, led the Wildcats with 18 points. Taelor Carr also had a great all-around performance for the Wildcats as she put up 12 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in the loss.

Murdoch’s 1,000th Team grabs 6th at win celebrated conference meet By Dan.Kassan iowastatedaily.com
Players, coaches and supporters gathered Saturday night at Legends Bar and Grill to celebrate ISU hockey coach Al Murdoch’s 1,000th win. Murdoch achieved the Murdoch career milestone Feb. 18 when Iowa State defeated Indiana University in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament. “Doctor Hockey” finished his 42nd year on the bench with a 1002-493-36 record after sweeping Northern Iowa. “I think very highly of him,” said John Robyt, professor of biochemistry who also serves as an adviser to the Cyclone hockey staff. “He is tough but fair,” he said. “He is an optimum optimist and has made a big contribution to this university.” Robyt, along with the other advisers, meets with Murdoch weekly for breakfast to discuss anything from money to players to the coaching staff. That coaching staff includes Murdoch’s son, Andrew. Andrew played under his father at Iowa
State and has been influenced by him every step of the way. “I like how he cares about the players,” said Andrew Murdoch. “A lot of people say I’m similar to him with always bringing a positive attitude.” Andrew said it was good for his father to get the milestone out of the way. Andrew was a senior captain and made the Final Four twice at nationals during his collegiate career. From playing for him to coaching alongside him, Andrew, now a financial adviser, said he understands how important hockey is to his father. “The players mean so much to him – I try to do that with my clients, so I try to bring that passion that he has towards that everyday,” Murdoch said.

The ISU swimming and diving team earned a sixth place finish by scoring 176 team points at the Big 12 Championships this weekend. Texas won the conference title with 948 team points. “We had a number of outstanding swims,” said coach Duane Sorenson. “The whole conference has improved so much that we didn’t place as well as we wanted, but we swam very solid all the way through.” The Cyclones were led by sophomore Dani Harris. Harris swam career-best times in the 200 individual medley as well as in both the 100 and 200 backstroke. Senior Jenny Vondenkamp finished her ISU career with a strong Big 12 meet. “Jenny is what we call Miss Consistency,” Sorenson said. “She was out there every race swimming her heart out.” Vondenkamp contributed to the sixth place finish of the 800 free relay team, which clocked in at 7:31.37 and earned 26 points for the team. “I was more relaxed this year,” Vondenkamp said. “It went really fast, but I think I had more fun this year,” she said. Vondenkamp was also one of four Cyclones to earn points for the team in the 1650 free. Vondenkamp, Meredith Doran, Megan Thompson and Alex Gustafson finished 11th, 13th, 14th and 16th, respectively. The breaststroke event was one mentioned by the coaches before the meet as one they would be looking forward to. Overall the coaches were pleased with results.

be in the last game of the season,” he said. With the Cyclones missing the national tournament, this season is now behind them, and they are looking forward to next season.
“She was pretty solid on all three levels,” Warrick said. “She just did a fantastic job.” The team also saw a personal best out of Jessica Nicholson on the platform dive. Nicholson earned points for the Cyclones with a 14th place finish with a score of 194.15. ISU divers Jenn Botsch, Abby Christensen, Sarah Nelson and Lauren Naeve will be back in Austin, Texas on March 11-13, competing in the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships for one of 11 spots to the NCAA Championships.

The ISU hockey team showed its strength in the final two-game set of the season this weekend against the Northern Iowa Panthers. The Cyclones swept the series, winning 9-0 Friday and 10-0 Saturday. In the first game, all five seniors tallied points, including goalie Erik Hudson, who also tallied an assist and stopped all 17 UNI shots for his fifth shutout. “The guys played well, and I think it reflects that our guys are in really good shape,” said coach Al Murdoch. “Sometimes our guys make it look easier than it actually is. Senior Matt Cohn scored a hat trick in the first game. All three of his goals were assisted by seniors Cort Bulloch and Jordan Pascale. “Coach put us together about halfway through the year,” Cohn said. “Ever since, we’ve had a lot of chemistry, and I definitely couldn’t have done it without those guys.” Along with his three assists, Bulloch also tallied a goal late in the game. Bulloch was playing with a partially separated shoulder that he injured at the Central States Collegiate Hockey League Tournament. “I thought he played pretty solid,” Murdoch said. “Most guys wouldn’t have suited up, but hockey players are different.” In the second game of the series Saturday night, Erik Hudson watched the final game from the stands. Sophomore Paul Karus started the game for the Cyclones, and freshman Scott Ismond took over at the halfway point in the game. “We had that planned in advance,” Murdoch said. “If he [Hudson] got a shutout on Friday, that would be a good way to end his career at Iowa State.” Murdoch was pleased with the way Karus and Ismond played. “We had both goaltenders get a shutout tonight,” Murdoch said. Freshman defenseman Kyle Ralston scored his first goal as a Cyclone late in the third period. “They were pretty focused, and they got the whole bench motivated to get the puck to him, and he finally got the goal,” Murdoch said. Ralston said the team didn’t realize he hadn’t scored

>>OVERTIME.p10 “They got a nice basketball team. The bounces just haven’t gone their way,” said Nebraska coach Doc Sadler. “They made plays when they needed to make them.” Nebraska guard Lance Jeter sealed the Jan. 8 matchup between the two teams with a late steal and a last-second free throw. Saturday, he sent the game to overtime with a late three, and nearly stole another game with a last-second three in the extra period. Jeter’s final score still left the Cornhuskers down one with just one second left to play. Hoiberg’s team finally got a bounce. “Didn’t seem like we had caught one break down the stretch this season,” Hoiberg said, “some of that due to our execution, some of that due to a bad bounce on the ball.” The outcome of the teams’ second meeting wasn’t the only difference between the two. Saturday, offenses ran rampant and both teams shot better than 47 percent from the field and 47 percent from behind the 3-point line. Points were easy to come by, as eight players scored in double digits, including Jeter, who led all scorers with 27 points. All five of the Cyclone starters reached double digits, led by senior guard Diante Garrett, who also tallied nine assists to go along with his 17 points. Iowa State’s clean play stretched

beyond the scoreboard, as it only turned the ball over nine times in the game, tied for the team’s second-best total this season. After the game, Sadler couldn’t pinpoint his team’s biggest defensive lapse. “All of them,” Sadler said. “Penetration, offensive rebounding, transition was atrocious. You can’t do any of those things and beat a team on the road.” On top of everything else, the Cyclones’ 83 points came against the Big 12’s best scoring defense. The effort was their highest output since their 86-85 loss to Kansas State on Feb. 5. “I think it goes back to us not being at the level you need to be at to play defense in this league,” Sadler said. “All the things that we built our program on defensively ... it didn’t click today,” he said. Hoiberg said the key difference offensively for the Cyclones was the presence of big man Jamie Vanderbeken, who returned to action after missing three games with a sprained ankle. Vanderbeken scored the Cyclones’ first five points in overtime and led the team with 10 rebounds to go along with his 13 points in his first game back in action since the Feb. 12 matchup with Kansas. “Jamie was awesome, it’s good to have the big fella back,” Hoiberg said. “We shot 50 percent against one of the top defenses in the country, and a lot of that has to do with Jamie out there on the floor.”
>>WIN.p10 shot, we were going to make him make a three.” Despite Jeter’s heroics, the Cyclones got the win in a tight game and fought off the murmurs and trepidation that builds up when a squad can’t win close games. Iowa State lost a tight game against Nebraska in the team’s first Big 12 game and created a knack for losing late leads. “If you look at the stat sheet, you’d think that we played really, really well in the second half,” said Nebraska coach Doc Sadler. “The fact of the matter is they made the plays when they needed to make them, got stops in overtime and got offensive rebounds. That’s a recipe for getting beat on the road.” Iowa State took a lead into halftime for the first time since Jan. 15 against Baylor, but it was a tight game throughout with nine ties and seven lead changes — the game’s biggest lead just eight points. All five ISU starters scored in double-figures and Diante Garrett led them with 17 points, nine assists and a 6-of-6 effort from the free throw line that likely saved the game.

The team was 19-of-22 from the free throw line Saturday. “There was just something about our pregame warm-up, everyone was happy, in a great mood. It was all positive and it just carried over to the game,” Vanderbeken said. Iowa State’s losing streak was the longest in the Big 12 this season and while the loss still leaves the team in last place, it wants to just build confidence heading into the Big 12 Conference Tournament. “You can not say enough about the number of close games they’ve played and the job that [Hoiberg] has done to be able to keep them competing like he has,” Sadler said. “That speaks volumes about the character of his players and also the job that he and his staff have done.” Saturday’s game was the final conference game between Iowa State and Nebraska, as the Cornhuskers depart to the Big Ten Conference next season. Iowa State’s last home game of the season is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday against Colorado at Hilton Coliseum.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- It’s funny how confidence can turn so quickly into self-doubt. Accept your thoughts, learn from them and love yourself. Trust your intuition.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 6 -- You’re yearning for adventure but are afraid of dangers ahead. Don’t let negative thoughts block your imagination. Follow your dreams anyway. Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Negative thoughts come into your head. Just thank them for their opinion, and move on with your day. There’s plenty of work to do. Reframe with new language.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 6 -- You’re right to be suspicious and trust your intuition. Not everybody is who they say they are. Choose your friends by their actions, not who they say they know.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- Don’t worry. Just get busy. Economic distress is temporary, and you still have the juice. Besides, money can’t buy health or love. Enjoy what you have.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Negativity looms and threatens your health. Make sure to get plenty of rest, and don’t take yourself too seriously today. Tell those fears you’ll get back to them later.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is an 8 -- Don’t get intimidated by the ideas of others. Get support from someone with more experience to keep you on the right track. Postpone travel until later.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- When you strive for perfection, you can be too harsh on yourself. Notice your successes, rather than lingering on failures (that gave you lessons to win).
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- Work schedule is full. Bring your top game as you’re going to need it. Leave aside all complaints and negative thoughts, and narrow your focus to win.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Your family will always have an opinion. Don’t take it personally. They love you and want the best for you, even if it doesn’t seem so. Look from a new angle.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is an 8 -- You have many work and social responsibilities. Figure out how you can combine them both, to save time. Get plenty of rest when you can or you’ll wear down.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- It’s difficult to believe your creative productivity over the last few days. Take time to acknowledge your accomplishments with a special celebration.

Students try to break record ISU researchers find clue
Knockout game scheduled during VEISHEA
Capesius said. Currently James Madison University holds the record with 201 participants. The completion of that game took roughly two hours. They estimate about 500 participants for this upcoming game. “The game is simple,” said Jake Smith, senior in mechanical engineering. “In knockout, there is a line of people at the free-throw line with two basketballs. The first person shoots the ball, then the next person shoots right after him. If the second person makes the shot before the first person makes it, then the first person is out. The game keeps going until there is just one person left.” Pre-registration to participate is available on VEISHEA’s Facebook page, but walk-ins are welcome. Registration will begin at 6 p.m. and go until 6:30 the day of the game. “We cannot charge the students to play; it will only take away from people showing up,” said Sarah Milner, senior in marketing. The main rule is that all participants have to be either an ISU student or staff member. T-shirts will be sold at the game for $5. “We hope to keep things or-
By McKenzie.Vogt iowastatedaily.com Now that the weather is gradually getting warmer, the VEISHEA Tournament Committee is putting the final touches on all activities. On March 8 at Hilton Coliseum, the committee is hosting a competitive knockout game. Brian Capesius, senior in mechanical engineering, explained how the idea came to him. “Last May I had knee surgery, so I spent the entire summer cooped up on the couch. I was really bored, and I started thinking of ways my basketball club could reach out to more students.” “After coming up with the idea to break the Guinness World Record for Largest Knockout Game, I realized the magnitude of the idea, and I knew my seven ISBA officers and I could never pull it off. Then when school started, I brought the idea to the VEISHEA Executive Committee, and it’s taken off from there,”

derly by handing out numbers to help rotate everyone in numerical order until the participants have been narrowed down,” said Blake Woebbeking, senior in agricultural business. “Rules show that there will have to be one staff member for every 50 students,” Capesius said. Although they are not certain yet, Capesius and Woebbeking believe participants will have to stay until everyone has shot once. The winner of the competition will be able to keep the basketball as a trophy. Participants will also have the chance to win other prizes such as a poster signed by the women’s and men’s basketball team or a gift card from one of the local sponsors. “In the past, the VEISHEA Tournament Committee has held flag football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, softball, 5k, trap and skeet and playing card events,” said Woebbeking. Since the event is quickly approaching, the head committee members, Capesius and Woebbeking, are trying to finalize all details.

to stopping tuberculosis By Steph.Luhring iowastatedaily.com In 2009, researchers at Iowa State found a chemical that inhibits the human immune system from killing the bacteria that causes tuberculosis. Now they are working to find an enzyme that will inhibit this chemical instead. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the bacteria that causes tuberculosis. It is a pathogen, which means it can be spread through the air when an infected person coughs and another person breathes it into their lungs, according to Reuban Peters, leader of Iowa State’s team of scientists dedicated to this research. When the human body’s immune system recognizes the foreign bacteria, sentinel cells try to “eat the bacteria and kill it inside the cell,” Peters said. In December of 2005, researchers began work on a clue that could lead to understanding tuberculosis and the immune system. “We discovered something the bacteria makes, a chemical,” Peters said. The chemical was Isotuberculosinol, a natural product that aids in blocking the killing function of sentinel cells of the human body’s immune system. “We kind of stumbled upon it,” said
tions. Many of their targets had roles involving energy and agriculture policy. The conservative fund says it’s focused on promoting free-market ideals but has launched ads against the Indy
Francis Mann, a recent graduate and doctoral student who was part of the research team. Peters speculated that the mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria may have picked up the genes for Isotuberculosinol from a plant. The ancestral mycobacterium tuberculosis may have originated in the soil where it would be in contact with rotting plant material. Peters said they discovered how the bacteria makes Isotuberculosinol and what triggered the compound. Mann said that by feeding Isotuberculosinol to molecules in the immune system, the immune system is arrested. The researchers are trying to “design an analog that mimics mycobacterium” to help find where the bacteria binds to cells. Peters said the next step is to put tags on the Isotuberculosinol chemical. There are 10 million new cases of tuberculosis a year, and the disease causes close to 1.5 to 1.8 million deaths per year, Peters said. “We’re discovering not only how a pathogen manipulates our immune system ... we hope that it will tell us how the immune system works as well,” Peters said.

Federal Election Commission, claiming they violated their non-profit tax status and that they should change to a political action committee so their donors would be disclosed. Many of their members have connections to Mitt Romney’s 2008 presidential campaign, Branstad’s 2010 campaign and administration and other Iowa Republicans. The Regents is one of the largest arms of Iowa’s state government but has received more significant cuts than any other area in the state in recent years. Over the past 10 years, they have increased in-state tuition by 99.7 percent. “I am pleased to announce that I have appointed Bruce Rastetter to the Iowa Board of Regents,” Branstad said in a release. “Bruce’s knowledge he brings from being a CEO in the private sector will be an asset to the board as he works to create strategic plans, monitor progress and approve the budgets of the Regents institutions.” Carroll holds a bachelor’s degree from Iowa State and a graduate degree in law from the University of Iowa. She and her husband’s children graduated from Iowa State. Mulholland holds bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Northern Iowa. They would serve six-year terms that begin May 1 and run through April 30, 2017. The outgoing members of the Regents are all Democrats, appointed by Gov. Tom Vilsack. Rastetter is a registered Republican, Mulholland is a Democrat, who has voted in Republican primaries, and Carroll is an independent who donated to Republican Rod Roberts in the past. Nine citizen members sit on the Board of Regents. They oversee The University of Iowa, Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa, the Iowa School for the Deaf and the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School.
