Student Government

Budgeting allocation to be finalized

By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer The Government of the Student Body Senate will finalize the regular allocations budget at Wednesday’s meeting.

Danielson The finance committee has been working on preparing groups for regular allocations, in which the GSB has allocated approximately $1.3 million to various student clubs and organizations, since the beginning of February.

Two weeks ago, the unofficial numbers were voted on and passed through the committee, and then presented to the senate.

Senators were asked by Finance Director Tom Danielson to review the numbers, and if they wished to discuss a single group’s budget, to pull the group out for questioning at Wednesday’s meeting.

The budgets that are not pulled out for questioning will be voted on as one bill. Then the GSB Senate will review the individual budgets being questioned.

Claim Ames Day

Drop off Census forms at CyRide stops Thursday

By Allison Suesse Daily Staff Writer Census 2010 forms are due in April.

For students who have yet to mail in their completed form, the City of Ames and Iowa State will be collecting them from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday at campus CrRide bus stops for “Claim Ames Day.” Volunteers from the city and university will be stationed at CyRide stops including the Iowa State Center transit hub, Friley Hall, Parks Library, MapleWillow-Larch and along with other popular stops.

Volunteers will also be located to collect from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Campustown and downtown post offices and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Ames Public Library.

Ames residents and students are encouraged to stop by any location to turn in their completed census, grab a breakfast bar, promotional items and enter to win a drawing for a gift card.

There are 100 $50 gift cards to win in the drawing.

Susan Gwiasda, public relations officer for the City of Ames, said there are a lot of decisions made based on the information provided by the census, including political representation and federal funding.

“Census is important,” Gwiasda said.

It is important that students realize they are an integral part of the Ames community while they are enrolled at school and complete the form, Gwiasda said.

She said in a news release that census information is confidential, and the form only takes a couple minutes to fill out.

ISU professors react to Presidents to U.S. health care reform present plans for

By Alexander Hutchins Daily Staff Writer With the Affordable Health Care for America Act signed into law by President Obama with more than 20 pens, the long trek from the early days of his administration has accomplished a legCooper islative victory.

Now that the new law is signed and ready to be implemented over the course of more than five years, there is no shortage of anticipation and apprehension over the law’s potential effects.

Eric Cooper, associate professor of psychology and Libertarian party candidate for Iowa’s gubernatorial race, said the new health legislation is like a time bomb waiting to go off in five years.

Cooper said when the costs of the law begin to manifest and the expense becomes apparent around 2019, the public’s enthusiasm

He memorized combinations that unlocked each container. The charts not only included a description of the contents of the U.S. nuclear stockpile but also the newest technical developments the AEC hoped would keep the United States ahead of the Soviet Union in the nuclear arms race.

The sensitivity of the information was so high that the AEC could not risk putting the information together in one chart.

“I walked into this office alone and put the cases down and looked up and there was this bald guy behind a big desk looking at me. He asked me, ‘What’s your name?`’ and I stumbled and said, ‘My name’s Dwight.’ And he said, ‘My name is Dwight, too.’”

Unexpectedly alone in the Oval Office with the president, the combinations to the locked charts quickly vanished from Ink’s memory. His boss, John McCone, was late for the meeting with the president. Noticing Ink’s anxiety, President Dwight Eisenhower asked where Ink was from.

“I’m from Iowa,” Ink said to the president.

may wither and cost the Democrats significant support.

“This could be the gift that keeps on giving for Libertarians,” he said.

The Republican party could be either bolstered or demoralized come midterm elections, Cooper said. He said passage of the act was better for Obama now, but may end up turning away the public in the future if the reforms fail.

Steffen Schmidt, professor of political science, said Democrats knew some type of health care reform had to be implemented because changes had been put off for so long.

Both Cooper and Schmidt said in independent interviews that the legislation’s success was due to key compromises and negotiations made by Obama in order to ensure the support of key Democrats that were initially opposed to the law.

fund elimination

By Jessica Opoien Daily Staff Writer

The presidents of Iowa’s three regents’ universities will be asked to consider plans to potentially eliminate general fund subsidies for intercollegiate athletics at today’s Board of Regents meeting.

On the agenda is a resolution, pending approval, directing presidents to form Pollard plans that would “substantially reduce or eliminate” general fund subsidies for intercollegiate athletics over an undetermined “appropriate time period.”

“The proposal will actually have a minimal impact on our athletics program because we have already reduced our reliance on state funding significantly in the past five years,” said ISU Athletics Director Jamie Pollard in a letter sent to ISU athletics donors and ticket-holders March 23.

According to the letter, the ISU athletics department reduced its state support from 12 percent of the total athletics

budget — $3.4 million — in 2005, to 3.7 percent of the total budget — $1.6 million — in 2010.

Pollard also said in the letter that the athletics department increased its funding from 2005 to 2010 from $28 million to $42 million, despite a reduction in state support. Pollard cited the support of donors and ticket-holders as the reason the athletics department has been able to make improvements, including the investment of more than $50 million in new and renovated facilities, over the last 5 years.

General fund subsidies are used to fund utility, administrative and overhead costs for intercollegiate athletics, according to the resolution.

If the resolution is approved, the presidents will be instructed to deliver their plans, with time lines, at the Sept. 16 board meeting at the University of Northern Iowa.

The regents will also address retirement program proposals for Iowa State and the University of Iowa.

Iowa State has requested an extension of the application date for the Retirement Incentive Option 2 Program from March 31 to June 1.

of Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats were not as good as they were,” Schmidt said.

Cooper said Obama was very involved in this negotiation process and performed more effectively than President Clinton had back in the 90s.

“I think he was more involved than a chief executive ought to be according to the Constitution,” Cooper said.

Schmidt said the passage of the bill was a victory for Obama, as other issues may now be addressed.

“I think that it’s like getting rid of a bad rash,” Schmidt said.

“It’ll improve evaluation of his [Obama’s] leadership ability.”

The passage of the law might improve people’s impression of Obama’s leadership ability, though there was doubt whether Obama had followed the correct strategy in crafting the legislation.

Schmidt said Obama has demonstrated his ability to make political maneuvers and muster support for his agenda.

History will probably say it was smart for Obama to include Republican input in the law, Schmidt said.

He said by inviting Republican support and being fought continuously during the legislative process, Obama has branded the Republicans as obstructionists.

Cooper said that he hopes

from PAGE 1 The meeting will also decide the fate of two other bills.

One bills asks the GSB Senate for $1,600 — a little more than half of the total cost to host a “One Community” event.

“The Ames City Council, the GSB and the university have collaborated to host an event for ISU students at the end of the semester to thank them for their attendance at Iowa State and to let students know about resources available to them during the summer months. And this event would be a great opportunity for the GSB to partner with the city of Ames and the university to further the ‘One Community’ initiative,” according to the bill.

The bill also says the City of Ames would fund $1,603 and Iowa State would fund $1,250 for the event.

Some of the line items on the bill include 145 pizzas from Pizza Pit, $500 for a band and stage and $200 for prizes for drawings.

The GSB Senate will also vote on the allocation of $900 toward funding Earth Day events.

“The newly established Green Umbrella Organization is planning events for Earth Day, and these events would be a great opportunity for the GSB to partner with Green Umbrella to promote sustainability efforts on campus, as well as educate students about how they can reduce their carbon footprint,” according to the bill.

The Council on Sustainability will donate $200 to the event, and $100 would come from the Keep Iowa State Beautiful organization.

The bill budgets for a concert and printing expenses.

Trial

Police case delayed until after sentencing ALLISON — The eluding police case of a man convicted of killing an Iowa high school football coach has been delayed until after he is sentenced for first-degree murder.

Mark Becker, of Parkersburg, faces life in prison for gunning down Aplington-Parkersburg coach Ed Thomas on June 24.

Sentencing is April 14.

Becker is charged in a separate case with threatening a Cedar Falls man and damaging his garage, then leading police on a chase on June 20. After his arrest, Becker was admitted to a Waterloo hospital for evaluation, then released June 23.

The next morning, Becker shot Thomas.

The Butler County clerk of court’s office says Becker’s trial on the eluding case, which had been set for April 6, has been delayed until May 4.

Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Child Endangerment Case

Judge denies change of venue in student case

Attorney files incompetency claim

A Dubuque County judge has denied a change of venue request in the wrongful death case of a 15-year-old student who died after being struck by a motorist near a school.

Lauren Schmidt and another 15-year-old student were struck as they walked across the street in September 2007 near Dubuque Hempstead High School.

Schmidt later died at University Hospitals in Iowa City.

Her parents filed a wrong-

ful death lawsuit against the school district and a bus driver who authorities say had pulled partially into the road.

Defense attorney Jenny Harris claimed media coverage following Schmidt’s death makes it difficult for an impartial jury.

Dubuque County District Court Judge Lawrence Fautsch disagreed Tuesday.

A jury trial is scheduled to start April 6.

Health Insurance Rates

Push to give consumers greater voice DES MOINES — Senior advocates are pushing Iowa lawmakers to revive a measure designed to give consumers a greater voice in decisions about whether to increase health insurance rates.

Officials and members of AARP held a Statehouse news conference Tuesday to urge lawmakers to act on a measure that would require state regulators to hold hearings when rate increases are proposed. Compa-

nies also would be required to give notice when they plan such increases.

AARP member Don Corrigan, of Des Moines, was among those at the event. Corrigan said he’d just received a notice that

his health insurance premiums would increase by more than 57 percent on April 1.

The measure backed by AARP has passed the Senate but stalled in the House.

Sexually Transmitted Disease

Dentist loses appeal concerning failure to inform The Iowa Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of a Muscatine dentist who was ordered to pay a woman $1.5 million for giving her a sexually transmitted disease.

Under the terms of the 2008 lawsuit, Karly Rossiter of Winfield is to receive $700,000 in compensatory damages and $800,000 in

punitive damages from Alan B. Evans, saying he failed to warn her to take appropriate precautions to prevent human papillomavirus, or HPV. Rossiter said Evans told her before they had sex in January of 2005, he was free of sexually transmitted diseases and had not

had sex in six months. She said Evans later admitted that was not true.

Evans lost an appeal in 2009 and then asked the Supreme Court of Iowa for a further review of the case. That request was denied earlier this month.

Iowa Labor

Trial set for violations involving mentally disabled DAVENPORT — A trial has been set for May 2011 in Davenport for Texas labor broker Henry’s Turkey Service on allegations of labor violations against Iowa workers.

The broker and one of its owners, Kenneth Henry of Proctor, Texas, face a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Labor for allegedly paying mentally disabled workers 40 cents an

hour.

The federal lawsuit alleges 37 workers employed at the West Liberty Foods turkeyprocessing plant in Muscatine County are owed back wages.

Henry’s Turkey Service has

denied the allegations.

Last week a federal judge scheduled the case for Senior Judge Harold Vietor on May 16, 2011, at the Davenport federal court.

Unconstitutional Declarations

Cold Case

Attorneys sue over health care

Two men arrested in connection to fire

Claims against overhaul filed within seven minutes of vote

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Attorneys general from 13 states sued the federal government Tuesday, claiming the landmark health care overhaul is unconstitutional just seven minutes after President Barack Obama signed it into law.

The lawsuit was filed in Pensacola after the Democratic president signed the 10-year, $938 billion bill the House passed Sunday night.

“The Constitution nowhere authorizes the United States to mandate, either directly or under threat of penalty, that all citizens and legal residents have qualifying health care coverage,” the lawsuit says.

Legal experts stated that it has little chance of succeeding because, under the Constitution, federal laws trump state laws.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum is taking the lead and is joined by attorneys general from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Michigan, Utah, Pennsylvania, Alabama, South Dakota, Idaho, Washington, Colorado and Louisiana. All are Republicans except James “Buddy” Caldwell of Louisiana, a Democrat.

Some states are considering separate lawsuits — Virginia filed its own Tuesday — and still others may join the multistate suit.

In Michigan, the Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor, a Christian legal advocacy group, sued on behalf of itself and four people it said don’t have private health insurance and object to the decision that they will be required to purchase it in the future.

McCollum, who is running for governor, argues that the bill will cause “substantial harm and financial burden” to the states.

The lawsuit puts forth the o: Zach claim that the bill violates what ame: 1/4 isSAC Daily Ad 10th Amendwritten in the ame: 1/4_SAC_Daily_Ad.pdf ment, which states the federal has no authority Size: 3colgovernment x 6” beyond the powers granted Dates: March 24,25, & April 6 & 7to it under the Constitution, by unt#: 206-00-35-00-8901 forcing the states to carry out its ent to: ads@iowastatedaily.com provisions but not reimbursing them for the costs.

It also says the states can’t afford the new law.

Using Florida as an example, the lawsuit claims that the overhaul will add almost 1.3 million people to the state’s Medicaid rolls and cost the state an additional $150 million in 2014, growing to $1 billion a year by 2019.

“We simply cannot afford to do the things in this bill that we’re mandated to do,” McCollum said at a press conference after filing the suit. He said the Medicaid expansion in Florida will cost $1.6 billion.

“That’s not possible or practical to do in our state,” he said.

“It’s not realistic, it’s not right and it’s very, very wrong.”

South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster, who is also running for governor, said that the lawsuit was necessary order to protect his state’s sovereignty.

“A legal challenge by the states appears to be the only hope of protecting the American people from this unprecedented attack on our system of government,” he said.

But Lawrence Friedman, a professor who teaches constitutional law at the New England School of Law in Boston, said before the suit was filed that it really had very little chance of success.

He said he can’t imagine a scenario where a judge would stop implementation of the health care bill.

Still, McCollum said he expects the U.S. Supreme Court will eventually decide upon whether the overhaul is constitutional.

“This is not lawful,” he said.

“It may have passed Congress, but there are three branches of government.”

Some states are looking at other ways to avoid participating.

Virginia and Idaho have passed legislation aimed at blocking requirements in the bill, and the Republican-led Legislature in Florida is trying to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to ask voters to exempt the state from the requirements created by the federal law.

At least 60 percent of voters would have to approve.

Under the bill, starting in six months, health insurance companies would be required to keep young adults as beneficiaries on their parents’ plans

NEWARK, N.J. — On an August night 32 years ago, authorities say, three men who believed five teenage boys had stolen their drugs herded them into an abandoned house at gunpoint, tied them up and set the building on fire, burning them alive and leaving no trace.

Those details on one of the coldest and most baffling missing-persons cases New Jersey has ever seen became known Tuesday as prosecutors announced that two of the men had been arrested on a recent tip from a witness. A third suspect died in 2008.

The teens had not been seen since they disappeared, and the five bodies were never found in the rubble of the destroyed house. The suspects believed the boys had stolen a pound of marijuana from one of them, the Essex County prosecutor’s office said.

One of the suspects, 56-year-old Lee Evans, routinely hired teenagers to help with odd jobs, officials said.

He was interviewed in the months after the disappearances but was cleared as a

until they turn 26, and that companies would no longer be allowed to deny coverage to sick children.

Other changes would not kick in until 2014.

That’s when most Americans will for the first time be required to carry health insurance — either through an employer or government program or by buying it themselves. Those who refuse will face tax penalties.

“This is the first time in American history where American citizens will be forced to buy a particular good or service,” said Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning, who is also president of the National Association of Attorneys General, while explaining why his state joined the lawsuit.

Tax credits to help pay for premiums also will start flowing to middle-class working families with incomes up to $88,000 a year, and Medicaid will be expanded to cover more lowincome people.

suspect.

Evans, of nearby Irvington, and Philander Hampton, 53, of Jersey City, were charged with murder and arson and are being held on $5 million bail each, prosecutor’s office said.

The boys, Melvin Pittman and Ernest Taylor, both 17, and Alvin Turner, Randy Johnson and Michael McDowell, all 16, were last seen on a busy street near a park where they had played basketball on Aug. 20, 1978.

Evans told police at the time that he dropped off the boys on a street corner near an ice cream parlor. Later that night, Michael McDowell returned home and changed clothes, then returned to a waiting pickup truck with at least one other boy inside.

That was the last confirmed sighting of any of the teens.

McDowell’s uncle, William McDowell, said Tuesday that the family always felt Evans was responsible.

“It’s been very frustrating for Michael’s family and for myself,” McDowell said.

A trip to grandma’s house

Your culinary passport

Devon O’Brien AmesEats Flavor Writer

Although Colombian food is not something common in Iowa, it was what a visit to grandma’s house was all about for me. My abuelita — grandmother — spent most of her life in Colombia and my mom and the other members of her side of the family was born, making it an intricate part of my heritage. Colombian food is what we traditionally have when all of my mom’s family members get together and it’s absolutely delicious. Columbian comfort food is a lot different from American food, featuring a lot of spices and produce used in variety of Latin American cuisines but not commonly in American cooking.

One of the most common ingredients used while cooking in Colombia is called Sazon Goya con Azafran. This is a dry spice mix that includes garlic powder, cumin and Mexican saffron and can be found at any Hispanic Grocery Store. Cilantro, garlic and onion are some of the other very common flavors found in Colombian food, and the nice thing is, it is something we are familiar with in the United States.

One staple vegetable in Colombian food is called Yucca. Yucca is a white and starchy, like a potato, but it has a little bit of a lighter texture to it. It is a tropical vegetable and is therefore not found in the United States. Plantains are a tropical fruit also unknown to most Americans. It is very similar to a banana — in is mashed and fried, or sliced and dried to make plantain chips. Other times, plantains are used in their ripe, unsweetened form for cooking — this is called platano verde, or green plantain. Meat is another key ingredient in Colombian dishes. They use a lot of seasoned beef or pork. Chicken and seafood are present as well, but shredded beef is most common.

So you think you like Mexican food?

“I love Mexican food!”

We hear this phrase when someone suggests eating at La Fuente or Cazador, and it’s understandable. Who doesn’t love beef tacos, chips piled high with gooey nacho cheese and a margarita? Or how about a huge burrito with chicken, rice, lettuce, cheese, salsa and a side of chicken tortilla soup?

But is this really what people eat in Mexico? Mexican food in America has twisted traditional Mexican dishes into what we know today: flour tortillas piled with meat and cheese.

But what is authentic Mexican food compared to what we get in the restaurants along Lincoln Way? When I studied abroad in Cuernavaca, Mexico, I had the opportunity to live with a host family, and my host mom showed me traditional Mexican food compared to its American counterparts.

Tacos The main difference between tacos in Mexico and in the United States is that authentic tacos use smaller, palm-sized corn tortillas as shells. You will never find a crunchy shell or flour tortilla unless you

Linda Berlakovich AmesEats Flavor Writer are in a tourist city or in northern Mexico, near the border. Also, the fillings are simpler and generally include meat such as pork, seafood and beef. Cilantro, onions and a variety of sauces and relishes dress up the tacos. Many versions of tacos are

enchilada soup. In Mexico, people eat pozole. Pozole is a savory soup with hominy — corn with the germ removed — and shredded meat, usually pork or chicken.

It is garnished with lime juice, oregano, avocado and fried pork skins, depending on your preference. It is very filling and there are a variety of pozolerias in Mexico that offer hundreds of variations of this filling soup.

Burritos and nachos Burritos are not traditional Mexican food and can only be readily found in the northern Mexican cities near the border. Nachos are also not a traditional Mexican food, but just another Americanized creation served at football games and during happy hour.

served as street food. My favorite is Tacos Al Pastor, which is similar to the gyro stand on Welch Avenue. The meat, marinated and spiced pork, is sliced off a vertical rotisserie stand much like gyro meat.

Soup When people from the United States crave Mexican-inspired soup, they order a bowl of chicken tortilla soup or cheesy

Chilaquiles, however, are a concept similar to nachos that include ingredients commonly found in burritos.

Chilaquiles are pieces of fried corn tortillas simmered in sauce and then covered with ingredients such as shredded chicken, crumbly white cheese or eggs and salsa. They are served with refried beans and have various combinations of spices and sauces that vary by region.

Bringing the heat Over winter break, my dad stayed with us for a week. At one point during his stay, he pulled me aside to let me know he was concerned about how many spices my husband had. I informed him they were actually the spices we both use to cook with.

In America, the food we eat often is flavored with fats and salt. If you come across someone who doesn’t like ethnic food, it is usually because of the unfamiliar spices. Most regions have more flavored food than the United States, especially Iowa. There are spices that give flavor, and then there are the ones that give heat.

I love spices, but I cannot handle any heat at all. If you are like me, you may wonder what you can do if someone serves you spicy food or you over-season your cooking at home.

Gina Garrett AmesEats Flavor Writer Drinking milk with some fat in it was the only thing “MythBusters” tried that worked, according to the show.

It would make sense that the tips I found on the Food Network and Tone’s Web sites to add some kind of dairy fat, like cream, would work for dishes that would be complimented by dairy. That same program saw no results trying to wash down the heat with water, beer, tequila, toothpaste or petroleum jelly.

There are so many delicious Colombian dishes that I could share with you but my two favorites are my abuelita’s empanadas and yucca frita served with pique. These are usually appetizers, but can be so filling my family will sometime eat them as a meal with a salad. An empanada is basically a fried cornmeal pouch filled with seasoned beef, potatoes, onion, tomatoes and many other seasonings. This can even be served vegetarian by simply excluding the beef and are just as delicious. Yucca frita is a fried version of yucca. Both are served with pique, which is a sauce made with cilantro, tomatoes, onions, vinegar and hot sauce.

put it on all the tables.

How can you prevent the over-spicing in the first place when cooking at home?

Always be minimal with your spices and taste-test before adding more.

According to Tone’s Spices, red pepper seasonings intensify during cooking, so dishes should be allowed to cook a while and be tasted before adding more.

Many swear by lemon juice or some other source of acidity, but I have not tried it. Rumor is that is why you find lemons and limes on the plates of Latin American dishes. Others swear by adding sweetness, such as sugar or honey. A former P.F. Chang’s employee claimed that vinegar works and that is why they

Tibetan Mastiff

North Korea

Boston man faces terrorist charges

China’s latest fad: big, furry dogs $43,000 for a large platform and a poster-plastered booth to show off his dogs. One breeding session with Sui’s top mastiff King goes for $40,000.

The craze seems to defy sales patterns and common sense elsewhere, especially for a dog that is common, has thick hair, grows to 180 pounds and is known for being fierce.

“I can understand racehorses and diamonds, but I don’t understand why someone would want to pay half a million dollars for a dog,” said Martha Feltenstein, president of the American Tibetan Mastiff Association. “They have a relatively short life expectancy and are not especially rare, so it’s quite puzzling why they are fetching such a high price in China.”

In the U.S., Tibetan mastiff pups can be bought for as little as several hundred dollars, Feltenstein said.

Breeders in China say adult Tibetan mastiffs sell for tens of thousands of dollars, and can even go for more than $100,000.

One of them sold for more than half a million dollars last year to a woman in northern China who then sent 30 black Mercedes-Benz and other luxury cars to fetch the dog from the airport, according to a report in the state-run China Daily.

MARKET AJ’S

After splurging on real estate in Australia, American thoroughbreds and European designer fashions, China’s rich see the Tibetan mastiffs as a new status symbol. China is now home to an estimated 825,000 millionaires — its most in modern history — and its luxury goods market is one of the fastest growing in the world. Among the must-haves for rich men in northeast China, the official Xinhua News Agency recently said was a young beautiful wife, a Lamborghini and a Tibetan mastiff, “the bigger and more ferocious the better.”

“You could call it a local luxury brand,” said Rupert Hoogewerf, a Shanghai-based tax specialist who compiles a popular annual list of China’s richest people. “Luxury brands are growing at phenomenal rates in China and owning a Tibetan mastiff is another channel for increasing your credibility and showing off your rich status.”

The mastiffs, themselves, look like money, resembling a lion that is a traditional symbol of good fortune.

“We want a breed of dog that is home grown, and this guardian dog is perfect because it is also a symbol of good luck for Chinese people through-

BEIJING — China’s latest must-have luxury for the ultrarich — to go with mansions and sports cars — is a large, slobbery dog with massive amounts of hair best known for herding sheep in Tibet.

Once banned by the Communist Party as bourgeois, pet ownership is booming in China, and the Tibetan mastiff is the dog of the moment for those who want to spread their wealth beyond stocks and real estate.

“I used to invest in German shepherds, but Tibetan mastiffs are what’s hot right now,” said Sui Huizheng, a business owner who has about 20 of the dogs and attended the 6th annual China Tibetan Mastiff Expo this past weekend.

Hundreds of the hairy dogs were on hand, and owners and handlers marched the most expensive ones down catwalks as though they were fashion models. Some carried the names of wealthy Americans like “Warren Buffett,” while others were called “God” and “Prince.”

Among the owners was a controversial running coach who trained world track champions in the 1980s.

Their hoped-for prize: breeders willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a mate for their mastiff. Sui spent

out history,” said Wu Yunliang, the owner of “Warren Buffett” and nearly 20 other mastiffs.

He keeps them in the northern city of Taiyuan where he owns a nursing home.

Potential profits from mastiff breeding are what drew Sui, the businessman-breeder, who said he isn’t a dog lover. “I don’t touch or play with them much,” Sui said. He leaves the brushing and fluffing of his dogs to nearly a dozen handlers.

Passers-by were told only to admire the dogs from afar and not get near them because they’re hostile to strangers — all the better for protecting flocks and herders on the isolated Tibetan plateau, where they originated.

Retired track coach Ma Junren became fascinated with the mastiffs when he was training female distance runners on the Tibetan plateau in the late 1980s. Some of his athletes were later caught using banned performance-boosting substances.

Ma retired, denying wrongdoing.

BOSTON — A Boston man facing trial in North Korea for illegally entering the communist country “is not a terrorist” but, rather, a deeply religious English teacher dedicated to his students, a friend said to The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Aijalon Mahli Gomes attends church every Sunday in Seoul and refuses to quit his teaching job in South Korea despite the stress of being located in a foreign country, Marshalette Wise said in a telephone interview from that country, where she trains English teachers.

“Aijalon is not a terrorist,” said Wise, a Tuskegee, Ala., native who met Gomes in 2008 while both were teaching English in South Korea. “He is very professional. He’s here to teach English.”

North Korea announced two months ago that an American was detained Jan. 25 for trespassing after crossing into the country from China and was under further investigation.

State-run media identified Gomes, 30, as the detainee Monday and said “his crime has been confirmed.” The brief Korean Central News Agency dispatch did not offer information as to when he would stand trial.

U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said that the United States wants to make sure the American man is returned at the soonest possible opportunity.

Thaleia Schlesinger, a family spokeswoman, said Gomes grew up in Boston and graduated from Bowdoin College in Maine before going to South Korea to teach English.

Schlesinger said Gomes had been in South Korea for a couple of years.

Wise, 33, said she last talked to Gomes in early January and had no idea he was the detainee until she was contacted by The Associated Press.

She described Gomes as “very friendly” and so “socially conservative” that he didn’t even have a Facebook account.

Wise said she saw Gomes wear only slacks and dress shirts, and always wore a bow tie to church.

Wise said Gomes typically went out of his way to make other American teachers in South Korea feel at home and helped them adjust.

For example, she said Gomes once helped her move to a new teaching job an hour and a half away. She said they also attended English music festivals together.

“I hope America steps up and gets him out of there,” Wise said.

Wise said Gomes liked to travel around the region on his days off from his school just north of Seoul.

Wise said she didn’t know why he would be in North Korea.

Gomes would be the fourth American detained in communist North Korea on charges of illegal entry in the past year.

It was not immediately clear why he crossed into North Korea.

Two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, were arrested a year ago near the Chinese border and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for illegal entry and engaging in “hostile acts.” They were freed in August after former President Bill Clinton made a high-profile humanitarian visit to Pyongyang to negotiate their release.

On Christmas, American missionary Robert Park strode into North Korea from China on a self-proclaimed mission to draw attention to the country’s human rights record and to call for leader Kim Jong Il to step down.

He was released last month after more than 40 days in custody.

briefing.

Eisenhower was the first of seven presidents for whom Ink worked. In addition to playing an integral role in the AEC, Ink helped to create the Department of Housing and Urban Development, deconstruct Community Service Administration and rebuild Alaskan communities shaken by the 1964 earthquake.

Throughout his career, Ink maintained his hard-working, modest countenance that made him successful as a college student in Ames.

At 87, he lives with his wife, Dona Wolf, outside Washington, D.C., in Lansdowne, Va. “His accomplishments are truly unique. That’s exactly how I would describe them,” said James McCormick, chair and professor of political science. “To be a trusted adviser to seven presidents is an extraordinary feat, which is quite telling of Dwight’s character.”

Ink was recently honored for his service in a book published in November. “If We Can Put a Man on the Moon: Getting Big Things Done in Government,” by William D. Eggers and John O’Leary devoted an entire chapter to Ink’s ability to be successful in a variety of different positions while working for administrations with widely varying ideologies.

“The thing I don’t know how to express is they were, none of them, experiences that required any brilliance,” Ink said. “It was just plain, ordinary work.”

His willingness to learn the complexities of problems allowed Ink to enjoy success early in his career. After working in local government and federal government field offices, Ink was brought to the attention of the federal government after he helped to expedite construction of the most critical project in the free world, the Savannah River Plant in South Carolina in 1952.

Ink was able to find a job heading the department of statistics at the plant after successful stints serving as assistant city manager of Fargo, N.D., heading a new Bureau of Reclamation program and working for the AEC in a community development program in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

“I didn’t even like statistics,” he said. “I didn’t have expertise in the subject matter despite the efforts of Professor [George] Snedecor at Iowa State, though my lack of knowledge turned out to be my salvation.”

At the time, the AEC wasn’t solely concerned with creating weapons. The agency also maintained that atomic energy promised to be a source of cheap energy. There was also hope that atomic energy could be applied effectively to medical problems.

“It was still quite a new agency at the time with an exciting and challenging mission,” Ink said.

“We all agreed that if the Soviet nuclear capabilities surpassed those of the United States, then Western Europe would be done for. What that would do to us in the long term from an economic standpoint greatly concerned people. Some predictions were pretty dire, but anyone you talked to would regard it as having very serious consequences for the

United States.”

Met with a bevy of problems at the Savannah River Plant, Ink had joined a project that had fallen behind and was undergoing seven different investigations from congressional committees and the White House. Ink tried to organize more detailed data on staffing, materials and money spent in order to understand why the project was delayed.

“None of the data matched up. I thought it was my misunderstanding, not a fault of the system, so I went out into these areas and talked to the foremen and check on the data that was coming in,” Ink said.

He spent nearly 10 months working with the plant contractor employees to determine how money, materials and employees could be better coordinated to move more smoothly. The changes implemented by contractors ultimately culminated in the project getting back on schedule.

“That brought me to the attention of the federal government,” Ink said. “Part of this was because I wasn’t very smart and had gone down to talk to the foremen and the lower level workmen to see for myself what the problems were.”

He spent nearly three years heading the reports and statistics branch and was eventually asked in 1958 to serve as executive assistant to the chairman of the AEC, John McCone, one of the most respectable government figures Ink has encountered. After McCone’s departure in order to become the director of the CIA in 1961 where he helped President John F. Kennedy with the Cuban missile crisis, Ink continued to serve as the assistant general manager of the AEC, which included frequent trips abroad to check on custody of U.S. nuclear weapons at NATO bases.

On one such trip in 1963, Ink sat alone in a West Berlin subway, confined helplessly to his car as he realized that he, a top official in the AEC, had just entered East Berlin behind the Iron Curtain.

He said it was one of the most terrifying moments of his life.

Ink had been trying to reach the American airport in West Berlin when he unknowingly boarded a subway that would cross the iron curtain.

Summer 2010 | jobs and camps Agronomy jobs abound

Camps create memories

By Wendy Sloan Daily Staff Writer Still looking for something to do this summer or next? Becoming a camp counselor is a great summer position for college students. There are many benefits to taking on this sort of job for the summer.

Nancy McCann, assistant director at Tripp Lake Camp, said counselors will get a lifetime of wonderful memories from the experience. It will be “the best summer job they will ever have,” she said.

Tripp Lake Camp, in Poland Spring, Maine, is a seven weeklong summer camp for girls ages 8 to 16. Counselors work for eight weeks starting June 18.

Jessi Kokjohn, owner and manager of SK Horses, Ltd. in Colorado, said this position is great for outgoing and friendly people who work hard and love the outdoors. SK Horses provides guide trail rides in two Colorado locations, Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Staff lives in bunk houses and spends every day guiding rides.

McCann mentioned that counselors may at first be overwhelmed by the camp experience, but they adapt quickly into teaching their activity and developing new friendships. Mc-

Cann said she was also a camp counselor and that for her, being a counselor has turned into “the perfect year-round job.”

McCann and Kokjohn outlined some benefits they believe students can gain from being a counselor for the summer.

You can make life-long friendships. Kokjohn said she has had trail guides who have met their soulmate over the summer and gotten married.

“It’s a hobby-type job, not a career-type job, so you’ll meet people who share similar interests with you,” she said.

It’s a rewarding experience.

“Seeing a young girl pass her first swim test or hit a bull’s eye in archery for the first time is just so amazing,” McCann said.

“Their faces glow. They are so incredibly proud of themselves.”

Students can become a role model or mentor. The children at the camp learn from the counselors and look up to them, McCann said. “Individuals have an opportunity to thrive, whether it be teaching a sport or helping someone on stage for the first time,” she said.

It’s good for a resume and career path. Kokjohn said students can get leadership experience. It requires them to be responsible and reliable. McCann agreed, saying counselors can “develop

people skills that will be beneficial in every career path.”

Kokjohn said this experience is life-changing, what they tell their grandchildren about. McCann said staff has “the chance to travel and visit new friends they have made at camp.”

You spend the summer in a great environment. “Camp is such a caring and giving environment for everyone that works and lives here,” McCann said. “It is such a people place.”

You can work outdoors in beautiful scenery. Kokjohn said her staff loves working in the mountains and the view of the parks. She said many come back for another year because of this.

McCann also mentioned being outdoors as a benefit. “I enjoy the sunny summer days, sitting under the trees and eating outdoor lunches,” she said.

McCann said her staff learns to love Tripp Lake Camp as much as the workers who’ve been there for decades. “We have a 60 percent return each year,” she said.

Kokjohn also has trail guides who return year after year.

Tripp Lake Camp is still taking applications for camp counselors this summer.

SK Horses accepts applications year-round, but stops each summer as it fills up.

Research before your move

By Amanda Molitor Daily Staff Writer Secured an out-of-town internship? Congratulations, but where are you going to live?

Figuring out where to stay after accepting a long-distance internship can be a struggle, especially if time is tight. However, there are several options to help you find a place to live: Tap into local resources Many of the colleges at Iowa State have a Career Services division that is able to help jumpstart your housing search; make an appointment with the staff to discuss options and resources.

Also, make sure to seek out the internship coordinator. He or she may be able to offer suggestions for where to find student-only housing.

Pester (nicely) other interns Another opportunity to find housing includes talking to former interns who worked in the same area. Not only can they tell you where they stayed, they will also be able to suggest neighborhoods and how accessible transportation is. A simple e-mail can yield positive results.

Some programs also offer a chance for future interns to participate in a panel, where former interns discuss their experiences. Take the time to ask how they found housing.

Talk to your internship boss Some employers will also be able to guide you to housing — some even offer a place to stay.

Kyle Wiebers, senior in management information systems, secured housing through his internship with Kingland Systems. “[Kingland] set up a house for interns, so we all lived together. It was a great way to get to know the guys I worked with,” Wiebers said.

If your internship doesn’t offer housing, ask for the names and contact information of the other interns you’ll work with.

You can then connect and work on finding housing together.

Hit up the Internet The obvious choice here is to look at sites such as Craig’s List; however, it is important to do your research before commit-

ting to a place. Ask lots of questions — inquire about payment, size of the space and animals.

Also make sure to ask for pictures of the space and building.

Whatever method you

choose to take when looking for housing, remember it takes time. Do your research to ensure you will be living in a place you can enjoy getting to know for three months.

Internships are the gateway into a job. It allows the intern to get an inside scoop of what a job they might like entails. Getting a job in the ISU agronomy department is becoming easier despite tough economic times. In addition, there is an array of careers within the department.

“When it comes to hot job markets, agronomy is one of them, and agronomy is the strongest job market on campus,” said Mike Gaul, director of Career Services in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Some careers within agronomy include: seed production, sales and marketing, research and development, crop consulting and scouting along with precision agronomy, or the development of GPS and other agronomy-related technologies.

Agronomy jobs on campus include working with professors on research projects, working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, working in a greenhouse and working on the research farms.

Jobs are primarily in the Midwest, but there have been students who have worked as far away as Hawaii. Students can even work outside U.S. borders, like the student who worked in Brazil.

“Everybody has to eat, and that traces back to grain production,” Gaul said.

Getting internships can be difficult, but Gaul gave a few tips. Having a technical background helps, along with interpersonal skills and having a work ethic from working on farms.

“There is a lot of effort required to work in this industry,” Gaul said.

Just as important as having experience in the field is being involved in clubs. Student organizations within the agronomy department include Block and Bridle, Animal Science Judging Club, ISU Turf Club, ISU Horticulture Club and Food Science Club. Involvement in some of these clubs will get your name out in the working world.

“Agronomy is an incredibly strong job market. The ball is in the student’s court,” Gaul said.

“There is good job recruiting; the faculty is outstanding.”

Gaul quoted a student who had an internship: “It is not who you know it is who knows you.”

“Industry exposure is extremely important [for students],” Gaul said.

Tailgate tour allows fans, athletes to celebrate loyalty

By Danielle Gibbons Daily Staff Writer ISU students get involved in many different activities during summer break. Some take summer classes, some study abroad or go on vacation and some go home to work and save money for next semester.

Those are the usual thoughts that come to mind when thinking about a student’s summer break.

Something that one might not think about, however, is what student-athletes do during summer break. Even if they are out of season, they still have commitments to Iowa State during the summer. One of these commitments is making appearances at the Cyclone Tailgate Tour.

“The Cyclone Tailgate Tour is an interactive format with a tailgate atmosphere,” said Joan Bowles, Associate A.D. for Development. “Coaches, administrators, student-athletes, Cy and the Spirit Squads are involved with face-to-face interaction that gives us an opportunity to thank Iowa State fans.

“It is an event that is free to the public with interactive games for children along with food and beverages and door prizes.”

“The Tailgate Tour is a free event for anyone to attend. You can meet coaches, administra-

The goals of the Cyclone Tailgate Tour are to create a carnival-like atmosphere where families can interact with student-athletes, Cy and the ISU Spirit Squad; create a greater presence and awareness when the Cyclones come to town; and reach out to new fans.

The event format for the Tailgate Tour consists of a special visit to a school or a hospital then the tailgate which includes drinks, food, inflatables, the spirit squad, Cy and the ISU band.

There are also interactive games throughout the tailgate.

During the tailgate there is also a short program where ISU

coaches and other staff members welcome everyone, thank people for coming and give a couple of speeches.

“The Tailgate Tour starts in May and continues into June,” Bowles said.

“This is the best time of year to have these events due to the schedules of our head coaches, administrators, student-athletes and the ability to travel around the state.”

The Tailgate Tour is a way to thank the fans for their support.

These events impact the communities in a way that can’t be done otherwise.

“Cyclone fans are so passionate and wonderful about driving to Ames or other arenas to cheer for all the student-athletes,” Bowles said.

“The least we can do is have the athletics department travel out to the fans and thank them in their towns for their support and participation.”

Study abroad experiences provide extra opportunities Take advantage of time overseas to be an intern

By Leslie Millard Daily Staff Writer Studying abroad is an exciting and rewarding experience to begin with, but some students have used their time abroad. Interning abroad is a worthwhile option for students to consider when planning their summer agendas.

Students wishing to intern abroad can choose one of two paths: go abroad solely for an internship or take classes while interning.

Kalese Henry, senior in journalism and mass communication, interned abroad in Wellington, New Zealand, at the Shakespeare Globe Theatre of New Zealand.

Henry explained the application process.

“It’s through a program called AustraLearn. You have to apply, which consists of writing a few essays and turning in your transcripts,” Henry said.

The application is similar to normal internship and job applications.

After Henry applied and was accepted to the program, she explained that she was given choices.

“If you get in they call you back and they ask you what you would like to intern in and where in the country you would like to be located,” Henry said.

“You kind of get to pick which ones you like.”

Through this selection process, Henry obtained a position as a public relations intern, her main field of interest.

Rachel Marek, senior in journalism and mass communica-

*$142 for online courses

tion, is having a similar experience abroad. She is currently interning in London, England, at Selvedge Magazine.

“It is a smaller publication, which is international,” Marek said. “Known for textiles, fashion, and travel, they also have a small shop in their office where they sell the dry goods that are featured in the magazine.”

Marek applied for the internship program through Middlesex University, where she is also taking classes.

She explained that she applied for the program at the same time she applied for admittance to the university. Middlesex University is one of many universities that offer students internship programs through the university itself.

While interning Marek is also taking three courses at Middlesex.

Henry and Marek both explained their tasks on a daily basis as being mostly errands with some more significant tasks being presented to them on occasion.

“I did a variety of activities; it was never the same every day. I promoted events for the Shakespeare Theatre, I wrote press releases for their youth Shakespeare program, I compiled and updated different databases for people involved with the Shakespeare Company,” Henry said.

Marek explained her days as being very different as well. She has done anything from walking the office dog and getting coffee to editing articles for the magazine and writing blogs.

The experience is what you make it. Some tasks may be small, while others may be very large and important.

Internships abroad can vary greatly, as the time required of interns varies from program to program.

“For my program at Middlesex, I only have to work for 20 days. I usually work from 9:30 to 5:30 a couple days a week, and when they need me for extra hours,” Marek explained.

Marek is required to do fewer hours because she is also attending classes.

Henry explained that she was required to work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday during her 12-week stay in New Zealand. The main factor to Henry’s greater time requirement was because she went abroad solely for the internship.

Both of their internships were unpaid, but one thing both Marek and Henry agreed on was how worthwhile the experience was for them.

“I think just not only learning about the public relations field, but learning about it globally was the best part,” Henry said.

“Of course being in New Zealand didn’t hurt because it is beautiful. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend it.”

The experience of interning abroad is one that cannot be replaced by any other experience.

If you have the resources, go out and do it.

It is not only a portfolio builder, but also an incredible experience.

“My favorite part about the experience is learning about the magazine and learning about the culture here in London. I love seeing how a magazine, no matter how small, works,” Marek explained.

“Having stuff that I have done, no matter how small [blurbs or craft fair listings] in the magazine is incredible.

Working for such a high quality, beautifully put together magazine is just wonderful.”

Games:

Athletic department does right by taking $1.6 million cut The Iowa Board of Regents will conduct a telephonic meeting Wednesday afternoon to discuss, among other things, a proposal requesting the presidents of the state’s three Regents’ institutions develop a plan for the financial futures of their athletic departments.

The presidents will be asked to consider the feasibility of and to form a plan to significantly reduce or eliminate the state appropriations they allocated to their schools’ athletics departments — money that is currently used for utilities, administrative and overhead costs.

The regents are also asking the presidents to set a time line for the changes and present their plans at the board’s September meeting.

The Iowa State Daily Editorial Board approves of this message.

As we’re sure you’re well aware, over the past few months, cuts have been announced to schools and programs left and right.

While we do appreciate the ISU athletics department and everything it does — go Cyclones, and whatnot — we also believe that the crowd at the Jacobson Building will be quite alright without the estimated $1.6 million to be cut from its $42 million budget.

The amount of money that is currently being discussed makes up only 3.7 percent of the total budget, and we feel like that money could easily be used elsewhere rather well.

This isn’t the first time the athletics department has faced cuts, but it could likely be the last.

But, when times are hard, how we spend our money has to be scrutinized, and every last dollar has to be accounted for.

If the university must lay off the teachers that are supposed to be teaching the student athletes, it isn’t right that the university be paying to keep the lights on at Jack Trice Stadium.

With all of the money the department brings in through ticket sales and contributions from its donors, it is in a much better spot to take another hit than some other of the university’s entities.

Apparently, ISU Athletic Director Jaime Pollard is OK with the changes, too.

As the Daily reported in Wednesday’s paper, Pollard wrote “The proposal will actually have a minimal impact” on the athletics department in an e-mail he sent out to donors and season ticket holders. He went on to explain that, over the last five years, the program has already “significantly” reduced its reliance on state funding. Even as recently as 2005, the department relied on state funds for nearly 12 percent of it’s budget, then just $28 million.

Almost every other department has been asked to develop a plan for a five or tenpercent cut to their budget, so 3.7 percent doesn’t seem all that unreasonable, even though it is the entirety of the money they receive from the university’s general fund.

If ISU athletics can build its budget by $14 million over a span of five years while still cutting $1.8 million in state-appropriated funds, why is it wrong to think it will struggle without another $1.6 million? After all, it’s not like the regents are asking Mr. Pollard and Co. to cut those funds immediately.

They’ll come up with a plan, just as they have previously, and they’ll likely even find a way to build the overall budget, even with the increased hardship.

As this develops in the future, we hope to delve even deeper into the financial relationship between the university and its athletic department.

The popular video game “Dante’s Inferno” has impressive visual effects. It is a very unique and visually engaging game. However, other aspects of the game fall flat. The story line and characters lack real substance due to the fact that the game is too similar to other games of its type. Courtesy photo: ign.com

‘Dante’s Inferno’ plays copy cat New video game is an expensive spin-off of other popular game

W

hen I was young, I was quite the avid little reader. I dove headfirst into books, unafraid of their length or complexity. I read Michael Crichton, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and yes, even Dante Alighieri as translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Although my imagination ran wild with the images these books provided, I would call it a stretch at the least to say that I would ever dream of the possibility that any one of the books I so loved could be translated to video game form.

Thankfully, “Dante’s Inferno” has assuaged (some) of my fears.

Let’s get this out of the way first, because I know it’s what’s on everyone’s mind: Is “Dante’s Inferno” a “God of War” clone? Well, the answer is both yes and no. The term “clone” carries a very negative connotation, when I don’t think that need be the case.

Yes, the similarities are blatant and obvious, from over-the-top boss fights dominated by quicktime events and action sequences so sick they might as well be carrying the bubonic plague to the repetitious button mashing combat and gratuitous violence. But does that automatically negate the entire title?

More on that question later. Right now, I want to go back to what I just mentioned — the combat.

The combat is varied and fast-paced, and every enemy requires a different tactic.

For example, pagan witches have a barrier that blocks Dante’s cross, so projectile attacks aren’t an option. Fire shades can’t be destroyed until you’ve hit them with a projectile and finished them with a melee attack.

There’s plenty more, but you get the idea.

I won’t spoil the other enemies; more than half the fun is watching them make their entrances.

Unfortunately, if more than half of the fun is the introduction, that doesn’t bode well for the rest of your time with your new friend.

There are only so many fresh faces to bump into down in Hell, and things

start getting pretty repetitive and bland in terms of enemy design after the circle of Greed. Sure the tactics to combat them will change slightly, but more than likely you’ll end up using the same four or five combos to dispatch the same four or five denizens of Hell.

Apparently Lucifer’s got higher priorities than making his footmen look cool. Who knew?

While enemy design may grow a bit stale, level design is consistently impressive. The first half of the game treks through some very interesting, visceral, and freshly imaginative depictions of circles like Lust and Greed, while the second half of the game heads back to the Renaissance and Gustave Doré’s engravings for inspiration.

I’m totally fine with this. In fact, it’s nice to see a more classical depiction for the City of Dis and Lake Cocytus when the introductory levels are so drastically reimagined they seem like they’re trying a little too hard to be different.

But unlike Alighieri’s original musings, which linger and simmer in the mind for days, weeks, years. The circles in EA’s rendition of “Dante’s Inferno” are over so quickly and the narrative is delivered in such a rushed fashion that it’s all over and forgotten with before you know what’s happened.

This is really unfortunate because – as morbid as it sounds – the Hell in Dante’s Inferno is so visually unique and captivating I wanted to see more. Just as I was starting to think how cool or engaging a level or fight was, it was done and behind me.

Let me give you an example. You know that big three-headed worm thing you’ve seen in a lot of the previews, right? That’d be Cerberus, guardian of the circle of Gluttony.

With such a large and interesting boss, you might think he’d be at the end of the level, right? Wrong. He’s the boss at the beginning of the level, and the end-level “boss” is just a new enemy type you’ll see later on popping up in some of the endurance trials combat can resort to.

In other words, the designs are all there.

Levels and enemies are – for the most part – unique and visually engaging, and succeeded in making me uncomfortable, as Hell should do. But the implementation of these designs could’ve been handled in a better, more impactful manner. (And speaking of impact, I can almost guarantee that at some point in the game, you will scream, “The power of Christ compels you!”)

The story addresses – or maybe I should say touches on, then quickly scampers away from – Christian mythology and history, focusing on Dante’s history as a crusader and the sins he has committed during his life. There are hints and accusations of hypocrisy and wickedness thrown into the mix of things, but the game itself never seems to be making too bold of a statement.

Still, I wonder how a Christian-minded player would receive the game. Perhaps it would stir a bit deeper within them than it did for me.

The sounds of “Dante’s Inferno” are stirring, with the monstrous shrieks and squeals of monsters and screaming of the damned haunting your eardrums nighconstantly.

While one might think this would get old after awhile, you never really get used to hearing an unbaptized baby cry in wretched pain or the countless tortured souls crying in vain for salvation and forgiveness. In short: when you think about it, the game can be very unsettling.

The voice-acting is adequate, though not particularly spectacular. Again, the narrative has been so rushed that it’s hard to get a good grasp on who the characters are and how they should sound or what makes them unique other than their design. The soundtrack is similar: adequate, but nothing noteworthy – no pun intended.

Is “Dante’s Inferno” a “God of War” ripoff/clone/copycat/whatever-you-wannacall-it? Yeah, I won’t deny that. But does it still have its own unique set of problems distinctly its own? Sure. It’s short, repetitious, textures are a little flat at times, etc.

But unlike “God of War”, at least I give a damn – pun definitely intended that time – about the main character. He’s got motivation and a purpose. He’s a respectable character; flawed and imperfect, but overall likable.

“Dante’s Inferno” tried. I can respect that, and I’m glad I played it. I’m just not so happy I paid $60 to do so.

Letter:

Christianity simply strives for perfection On Monday, Marc Perkel wrote a letter to the Daily challenging Christians to show how God has transformed his or her life through his or her behavior.

Let me speak for a moment to those like Perkel who are looking at Christianity from the outside in.

I wholly agree with your desire to look at Christians and compare them to the rest of the world.

After all, anyone who claims to be following a God that commands his people to love and esteem others higher than oneself,

Andy Mungons is a junior in computer engineering and a member of Cyclone Bible Fellowship. should, in fact, be loving an esteeming others in such a manner. However, if you are looking at Christians with a standard of, “Christians shouldn’t, under any circumstances, be doing <insert crime here>,” every Christian you know will in some way fail to meet your expectations.

Like Marc, I come from a reality-based community: the

reality is, all humans, including Christians like myself, are inherently evil and will do horrible things. The Bible said, “All have sinned.” Christians will do bad things. Even rape and lying about it.

If Christians did no wrong, they would not be in need of the God they claim to follow. After all, why would Jesus come down to earth to die for mankind’s sins to if mankind was perfect?

This is the reason that I am a Christian: not because once I am saved I do no more wrong,

but that once I am saved I am forgiven of all my wrong-doings, past and present. Through God’s help I am able to overcome my naturally evil human nature. This isn’t an instantaneous process — I still do evil things. But I know that I am forgiven, and I press on, striving to conform more to my God’s perfect standard of living.

To you who are skeptical about believing in God, take a look at your Christian friends.

Don’t go about fault-finding them; instead, look at how they deal with their faults.

Bill:

Health care should be for the security of all Americans need to look out for their best interest

T

he headline on March 22 was, “Congress gave final approval to legislation that would provide medical coverage to tens of millions of Americans and remake the U.S. Health Care system along the lines proposed by President Obama.” By a vote of 219 to 212 — with not a single Republican voting in favor — the House Democrats approved a Senate version of the legislation that’s been debated for months.

The Senate still has to pass it — which is considered likely — this week.

The legislation will require most Americans to have health insurance, add as many as 16 million new patients to Medicaid eligibility (this is the current program for low income Americans).

The legislation will also subsidize private health insurance for low and middle-income Americans.

The new legislation will require most employers to offer health insurance to their employees.

States will be required to set up a health insurance marketplace (exchange) where folks without insurance can shop around for the best price.

Republicans said the plan would add to the national debt, force the states to enact federally mandated rules on health care and weaken Medicare.

You may say, “I have heath insurance. Why should I care about a broken health care system?”

Take the case of MiamiDade’s Jackson Memorial Health Care Systems in Florida, which I had the chance to study.

This facility is a community hospital with a client base of largely lower income people.

Many of their patients are folks with no insurance (charity cases) or those who are billed but eventually default and never actually pay their bills.

Jackson made a series of terrible management decisions.

They expanded to add several branch clinics. They calculated their revenue stream much higher than was realistic or justified by adding as anticipated revenue the clients whom they knew would never pay their bills.

Their whole business model was apparently unsustainable because the poor and uninsured are simply a cost with no prospects of revenue and no chance for the hospital to stay in the black.

They hired expensive outside consultants and paid millions for services they should have been covering in-house,

there may even be criminal activity by some of the management team. There was clearly lax and ineffective oversight by the board that is supposed to keep the facility honest and efficient.

So I will ask again what do you care if you live in Miami but have insurance and can go to your hospital and clinic? Or why should you care if you are a student at the University of Miami, which is affiliated with Jackson?

The answer is that as Jackson goes into crisis or even goes under many folks will be deeply affected.

First of all, the facility is not paying their contractors therefore reducing their cash deficit.

Apparently they have not paid many of the suppliers and contractors because the system balanced its books by deferring payments.

One plumbing contractor interviewed by the Miami Herald is going bankrupt and will lay off many of his employees because he has not been paid.

The same is true of many others doing business with Jackson. If you work for or own one of these businesses you are deeply affected.

Second, as Jackson goes under its poor and uninsured clients will go to emergency rooms in other hospitals since ERs cannot turn away emergency room patients. This will

then shift all the non-paying clients to the solvent and wellmanaged hospitals. That in turn will add serious overcrowding and shift the costs of unpaid services to the paying clients and those with insurance. In other words the middle class and the rich will suddenly be “taxed” indirectly by the shifting of costs of treating the poor to them.

That’s just the same as if their insurance premiums went up or their taxes were raised suddenly to pay for the health care of the uncovered.

Third, as hospitals like Jackson go into crisis they may need to turn away and not treat

patients who can’t pay. These folks may just walk away and not get any treatments. This is a clear and present danger to the community, an urgent risk to the general health security of everyone. Many low-income workers in the food services, and even in the healthcare industry continue to work rather than get treatment. Do you want a food handler at your local restaurant, your teacher, the custodial staff where you study or work, the clerk at the supermarket or someone in childcare continue working while sick?

The same crisis that is devastating Jackson Memorial

has hit community hospitals in California and other parts of the United States without much media coverage. This is shocking because if Americans are confused about the healthcare debate it would be educational and informative for them to consider the direct impact on his our her quality of medical services if the system surrounding it is breaking apart.

I don’t know if the sug-

gested health care reform will solve problems like Jackson Memorials crisis. I do know that Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Liberals, Conservatives and everyone else has a big stake in fixing the problems with our health insurance and health delivery system.

It is not just for the sake of the poor and uninsured but also for the health security of all of us.

Editorial Cartoon: Nate Beeler/McClatchy-Tribune

Bill represents one small step in the long road of health care After a long fight filled with tremendous uncertainty, health care reform efforts are drawing to a close.

The debate across the country has been rancorous. Cannonades of attacks have been launched from both sides. The process has been confusing and drawn out. Tea Party protests decry an obtrusive government takeover and a loss of liberty. There are those further — way further — on the left who feel betrayed that the privateinsurance model remains firmly intact.

Most are situated at various places between those two extremes. I imagine, however, that the debate we’ve been having for the past year or so has left many even more cynical. The sensibleminded have found it difficult to cut through the constant spin or all the talk about parliamentary procedure and legislative tactics. But passage of health-care reform, the most important piece of social legislation since Medicare in 1965, represents substantial progress. As dispassionate as they may be about this particular issue, it will mean material progress for youth as well.

The president will sign a bill that, at its core, will provide a way for most people to obtain affordable coverage, strengthen the coverage of those who are already insured, and make medical care more efficient and less expensive.

The bill will ban insurance companies from discriminating based on pre-existing conditions, health status, and sex.

It will provide coverage for 32 million people currently uninsured, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. It will also reduce the deficit.

As a demographic cohort, young people are more likely to be uninsured than any other group.

Many youth forgo purchasing health insurance not because they think they’re “invincible,” but rather because they simply can’t afford it. Transitioning from college to the workforce has become increasingly challenging. Affording rent, studentloan payments, and possibly health insurance — it’s nearly impossible.

Under the bill, young people will be able to

This editorial was originally published in the Daily Iowan, the student newspaper of the University of Iowa. stay insured on their parents’ coverage until the age of 26. For those who can’t afford insurance — because everyone will be required to purchase it — they’ll be provided a subsidy.

There are some critics who have characterized this as radical socialist engineering. For political and ideological reasons, they are completely affronted by these efforts. Yet these reforms are fair, decent, and in fact overdue.

President Obama made the argument that reform was necessary because the status quo is unsustainable. But there’s a more overarching argument to be made for reform.

As the only industrialized economy without a universal system, we leave so much physical and financial suffering to chance. Even if you eat right, exercise, or avoid risks, without (and sometimes with) insurance, you may be one chance medical accident from ruin. It’s a vulnerability and a frailty in life that we all share.

Thousands die each year simply because they lack insurance. Millions are only one medical bill away from bankruptcy or other economic hardships. Every day, quiet but profound tragedies take place because of our broken health care system.

Those who have opposed reform have overlooked the moral imperative, the ethical need for reform. Because we all share some vulnerability to chance — often at no fault of our own — government, as an extension of our collective interests, must step in.

Obama and every member of Congress who votes for reform will make history. Passage of health care reform will make America more just and equitable. Yet it represents only a step, and there will be more steps to take.

The legislation is not perfect; few pieces of legislation are. It’ll be the task of this generation to pick up where current efforts are leaving off.

Comment of the day: The following comment was left in response to “LETTERS: Cover-ups show contradictions” on Mar. 21.

“I’m sure you believe you are a “realist” because you demand physical proof of God before you believe of the existence. Try using that test on the concept of love. I’ll bet you believe in love but I’ll bet you cannot as hard as you try prove its existence beyond the shadow of a doubt.

In addition you say that you don’t see the fruits of a belief in God because some members of the Catholic Church are

clearly not deserving of respect. You failed to realize that church organizations give literally billions of dollars every year and millions of volunteer hours helping in every corner of the globe. You will find that faith organizations give more money and time to help the people of the earth than any other group.

If you are going to wait to believe that the fruits of a belief in God will only stand if every believer is perfect, you will have a long wait and you are definitely not a realist.”

Letters:

Iowans triumph despite Latham’s arguments Tom Latham’s recent comments in the Des Moines Register on the passage of the Health Care Bill makes Iowans sound petty and selfserving. At what point does Tom Latham realize that Iowans are intelligent and compassionate people who understand the issues? The Health Care Bill will lead to lower health care costs, and it expands access to health care while protecting consumers from the abuses of the insurance industry.

Tom Latham’s attempt to distort the truth and play on people’s emotions won’t work with Iowans. He needs to get a grip; he was and is wrong. Latham is going to have to explain to his insurance industry friends that despite all their money, he was just not able to stop what is in the people’s best interest. The people triumphed on this one!

As for Latham’s continued Washington

Bill Maske is a Democratic Candidate, United States House of Representatives, Iowa’s 4th Congressional District bashing, he needs to just stop. He is a career Washington politician, so he needs to understand that when he points his finger at Washington, three are pointing back at him. Besides, Iowans need and deserve a representative who can think and speak for himself, not a John Boehner want-to-be.

As for the Health Care Bill, thank you to our fine Iowa Delegation who stood strong on behalf of the people of Iowa and the nation. To Leonard Boswell, Bruce Braley, Dave Loebsack and Tom Harkin, I offer my heartfelt gratitude for a job well done!

Will Limbaugh keep his word?

On March 9, Rush Limbaugh said on his show that if the Health Care Bill passed he would leave America and go to Costa Rica — which has universal coverage like what we just passed.

So Rush, the bill passed. When are you leaving?

Or are you going to come up with some

By Jordan Wickstrom Daily Staff Writer Echoing from the small, but strong fan section of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the words “Yes we can!” could be heard throughout Hilton Coliseum.

And while the Phoenix came close to gaining the official title of the 2010 Cinderella story of the tournament, it was the Cyclones who would prevail with a 60–56 win and a trip to the Sweet 16.

The Sweet 16 berth comes as a pleasant surprise for a team that was supposed to finish in the bottom half of the Big 12 standings.

“If you would have told me at the start of the season we’d be here, I don’t know if I would have believed you,” said senior guard Alison Lacey. “We started off 0–2 in the Big 12, we were

really young and apparently this was a rebuilding year. But to the freshmen’s credit they’ve stepped up in the last two games and I am really proud to be the leader of this team.”

For the entire first half and most of the second, the Cyclones had a difficult time figuring out the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s defensive scheme and trailed by as many as 10 to

the Phoenix.

Junior forward Kayla Tetschlag was the main source of offense for the Phoenix in the first half. With 18 first half points, Tetschlag demonstrated why she was named to the first-team All-Horizon League.

Tetschlag shot 6–8 from the field including going 3–4 from beyond the arc and as well as being perfect from the free-throw line.

While the Phoenix were thriving on offense, the Cyclones were struggling to find any consistency.

Combined, Lacey and junior guard Kelsey Bolte shot just 3–16 from the field in the first half. With the Phoenix

Experienced offense meets young defense for spring

Iowa State enters Big 12 schedule on winning streak

By Shane Lucas Daily Staff Writer When ISU football coach Paul Rhoads began a news conference by talking about the women’s basketball team, it was clear he had been getting what he wanted out of the offseason.

Rhoads opened his second spring practice as head coach with the news conference at the Jacobson Building on Tuesday.

“Usually, by now, kids are sick and tired of just the weight room and just the conditioning portion of practice,” Rhoads said.

“I haven’t felt that in this offseason — I believe they’ve attacked those workouts, but now they’re equally excited about starting practice and getting the football portion of it going again.”

Rhoads took a lot of time to address the team’s defensive needs, especially at linebacker.

The Cyclones lost all three starters from last season, but have a number of players in competition for positions.

Sophomores Jake Knott, A.J. Klein and Kevin Hamlin and junior Jake Lattimer are all in contention for the outside linebacker spot.

Senior Matt Tau’fo’ou appears to be the favorite to succeed Jesse Smith at middle linebacker after seeing action in only two games last season.

“He’s a physical, downhill player,” Rhoads said of Tau’fo’ou.

“And I think he brings good leadership skills that you want in that position, the guy that’s got to call the huddle and get people straight and get people set.”

Although the departed linebackers leave a big gap in the defense, the players that learned from them over the past season feel that they have been properly prepared to fill their predecessors’ cleats.

“I know it’s going to be a loss, but I don’t think we’re going to sag behind in any way,” Klein said.

“I know Jesse [Smith], Freddy [Garrin] and [Josh] Raven contributed to us young guys, teaching us the ropes and teaching us what we need to do as players to be successful.”

Along with new player personnel, Rhoads said the defense will focus more on the pass rush.

The Cyclones finished last in the Big 12 with 16 sacks last season.

The Cyclones are right where they wanted to be heading into the Big 12 schedule: on a seven-game winning streak.

Iowa State (20–12) edged Creighton (14–11) by scores of 2–1 and 3–1 in Omaha, Neb., on Tuesday.

The double header was the team’s final tuneup before opening up the conference season.

Zabriskie The first game on Tuesday featured both teams’ aces in junior Rachel Zabriskie and Creighton’s three-time All-American Tara Oltman. Zabriskie won the battle with a ten-strikeout, three-hit performance.

“She threw really well,” said coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler.

“She has been a little bit sick so she didn’t practice yesterday and was able to really focus and do a great job. She worked ahead of batters, she kept people off base, kept them off balance. She did exactly what we needed her to do in order to win.”

Zabriskie was a little bit more subdued when discussing her performance.

“I feel like it could have been better but it was what it needed to be for today,” Zabriskie said.

“I felt like I didn’t have all my stuff, but I had enough to get through.”

Oltman battled a hot Cyclone lineup that peppered her with nine hits along with four Blue Jay errors, but surrendered just two earned runs by stranding 10 ISU runners.

Oltman had won both of her previous encounters with Iowa State, but the All-American didn’t intimidate Zabriskie.

“I was just worried about pitching to their batters and our hitters really took care of her,” Zabriskie said.

“It was a pitching duel, but because we were hitting the ball so much, it didn’t really feel like it.”

In the second game, the Blue Jays jumped out to a one run first

Wrestling

Jackson legacy boasts long train of wins

By Jake Calhoun Daily Staff Writer Coach Kevin Jackson returned to Ames to take over the ISU wrestling program after former coach Cael Sanderson departed to take the head coaching job at Penn State after three seasons as the Cyclones’ head coach.

Jackson, who placed second at 167 lbs. as a collegiate wrestler on Iowa State’s last national title team in 1987, inherited a team that was rich in talent and featured five All-Americans — including a reigning national champion in Jake Varner at 197 lbs. — who were all respected leaders on the team.

The season started with a 43–3 dual meet victory over South Dakota State, followed two days later by the Harold Nichols Open where seven Cyclones won individual titles. It was there that senior All-American Nick Gallick suffered a deep thigh bruise that would later require surgical attention to end his senior season. However, Jackson has said that they will be seeking a medical redshirt for Gallick so he will be able to return next season at 141 lbs.

Despite his injury, Gallick did compete in the dual meet against top-ranked Iowa on Dec. 6, which took place in front of a crowd of 11,137 in attendance at Hilton Coliseum. Gallick defeated Iowa’s Dan LeClere by a sudden victory decision of 8–6 to score the first team points for the Cyclones, who had dropped the first two matches which awarded Iowa six points. It was the last match Gallick competed in during the season.

Junior Jon Reader defeated the Hawkeyes’ Ryan Morningstar for the first time in four career matches at that dual meet after earning a point at the very end after holding over a minute of riding time to win by a decision of 4–3.

However, Reader was not

inning lead, capitalizing on a hit batter, a wild pitch and two hits off of freshman pitcher Tori Torrescano.

Torrescano settled down, however, retiring the next ten batters in order.

The offense immediately erased the Creighton advantage in the top of the second as senior catcher Alex Johnson blasted a leadoff home run.

as pleased with the manner in which he wrestled to get his first victory over Morningstar.

“I know I’m capable of more,” Reader said after the match. “A win’s a win, but I’m disappointed with the way I competed.”

Sophomore Jerome Ward also electrified the crowd after beating Phillip Keddy by a 5–3 decision to end the Hawkeyes’ string of victories. However, Iowa squeaked by with the 18– 16 victory, handing the Cyclones their first loss of the season and the first loss of Jackson’s collegiate coaching career.

Iowa State redeemed itself by beating Northern Iowa, 42–0, in a dual meet at Cedar Falls. Sophomore Dalton Jensen made his first dual meet appearance of the season, stepping in for Gallick, where he managed to pin the Panthers’ Alec Hoffman in 1:17 to end the dual meet.

“To have Dalton get out there and pin the guy is just awesome,” Jackson said. “He’s a pinner and if he gets on top of a guy, he’s looking for it.”

At the Midlands Championships, four Cyclones advanced to the championship matches but only Varner walked away with a Midlands title, avenging his second-place finish at last year’s Midlands.

Redshirt freshman Andrew Long lost for the second time to Iowa’s Matt McDonough after losing a lead in the third period to go into overtime, where he would lose, 9–7. Reader also lost to the eventual national champion at 165 lbs., Wisconsin’s Andrew Howe, by a 3–1 decision after two sudden victory periods.

After the Midlands, Iowa State faced a tough opponent in No. 5 Minnesota, but managed to beat them in a close dual, 19–16. The Cyclones were fueled by a pin from Varner and Long’s victory over then-No. 3 Zach Sanders at 125 lbs. Long, who was ranked 13th in the nation at the time, defeated Sanders by an

Although the two-game 5 run total is a little bit less then Iowa State has been averaging recently, the team was hitting well, racking up 18 hits in the double header.

“We had 9 hits against Tara Oltman which is really good,” Gemeinhardt-cesler said.

“Our hitters did a good job putting the ball in play. We had a lot of chances, we ended up leaving 10 people on base [in the first game] but we were able to scratch across a couple runs.”

The Cyclones’ hitting spree was a team effort as nine of the 11 Cyclone hitters that had an at bat in the double header got

8–4 decision, not letting Sanders score an offensive point.

“There were definitely some good scrambles in the match,” Long said. “But I felt strong in all of the positions.”

The Cyclones moved on to the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in Cedar Falls, where they won three-straight duals en route to a rematch with Iowa in the championship dual. A lethargic ISU team was no match for Iowa, dropping its second straight dual meet against the Hawkeyes, 19–12. The Cyclones placed second in the event, which was their best finish since 2000.

After a challenging winter break, the Cyclones returned to Ames to defeat No. 24 Illinois, 33–9, before embarking on a four-meet road trip. Iowa State opened its conference schedule

at least one hit led by senior infielder Courtney Wray’s four hits.

“It wasn’t just a couple people carrying us, it was a lot of different hitters hitting throughout the line-up,” GemeinhardtCesler said.

“That’s really fun to see.”

The pair of wins helped the Cyclones maintain momentum as they head to Texas Tech over the weekend.

“Getting both wins, and getting them the way we did was big going into the weekend,” Zabriskie said.

“It wasn’t just a fluke, we won both games fair and square.”

by beating No. 10 Oklahoma and No. 3 Oklahoma State within the span of two days. The next week, the Cyclones traveled to Ithaca, N.Y., to face Cornell, who they beat, 24–13.

They ended their road trip the next week by beating Arizona State, 30–10, to earn the program’s 1,000th dual victory, becoming the first collegiate wrestling program ever to do so.

“It only comes around once,” said sophomore 157-pounder Andrew Sorenson. “To be a part of that with the senior group that’s been here for five years and the four years they’ve been training and for them to get the 1,000th dual win and to be a part of it is something special.”

The Cyclones returned home, going on to beat the Missouri Tigers, 28–10. In that dual, senior Duke Burk pinned

think we have a secondary capable of handling that.”

That secondary will return the most starters of the defense, including senior safety and 2009 Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year David Sims.

“For us it was exciting as a coaching staff because we’ve been waiting for that true competitive fight for seven minutes out of him, and I guess he had to go overtime to do that too,” Jackson said of Burk. “It was a big highlight.”

In the season finale dual meet, Jake Varner defeated Nebraska’s Craig Brester by a 6–4 sudden victory decision in what was possibly the most electrifying match at Hilton this season.

Varner managed to ride Brester after a takedown to diminish Brester’s riding time to exactly 59 seconds, denying Brester the extra point to force the sudden victory period in which Varner

scored his winning takedown.

“I knew I had to ride him for four seconds,” Varner said. “You don’t really count that in your head but I know how long that is to ride the guy.”

At the Big 12 Championships in Norman, Okla., Iowa State failed to secure a fourthstraight Big 12 Title, losing to Oklahoma State by 1.5 points.

However, senior heavyweight David Zabriskie managed to avenge a loss earlier in the season to Oklahoma State’s Jared Rosholt by beating him in a 3-1 decision in two sudden victory periods. Zabriskie’s victory over the then-top-ranked Rosholt earned him his third Big 12 Title and the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, where he would go on to defeat Rosholt again in the championship match to win the national title.

“Austen is going to work to the best of his ability without necessarily having that competition take place, which is a positive for him,” Rhoads said.

“But I’d much rather have Jerome out there for all 15 practices so I’m disappointed in that.”

The play of the quarterbacks mixed with the shifted offensive line will no doubt have an effect on the passing game, which took a backseat to the run for a lot of last season.

Iowa State finished ninth in the Big 12 in passing offense compared to its third-place finish in rushing.

“We definitely need to improve our passing efficiency,” said senior wide receiver Jake Williams. “Last year we relied on our run game a lot to get us out of some situations and I think it’s going to be pretty competitive at the receiver spot and I think that will help a lot.”

The one area of the offense that will see some changes is the offensive line.

Senior Ben Lamaak will move to center and junior Scott Haughton will take his place at right guard.

Despite that change, all five of the projected starters on the line saw action in at least one game last season.

“With the offensive line remaining pretty much intact, we think we’ll be at least as good,” Rhoads said.

Through the offseason workouts, Lamaak has already shown improvement in snap timing, which is something Rhoads stressed last season.

Considering Lamaak and quarterback Austen Arnaud are roommates, developing chemistry shouldn’t be a problem.

“He’ll definitely let me know when it’s a bad snap, that’s for sure,” Lamaak joked.

“He kind of blames it on me, but I’ll take that blame.”

Along with Tiller, senior defensive end Rashawn Parker and redshirt junior running back Bo Williams will be held from contact drills due to lingering injuries, but are expected to be back before the end of spring practice.

Bailey Johnson, Lonzie Range and Walter Woods are out indefinitely.

Spring practices started Tuesday and will conclude with the Cyclone Gridiron Club spring game on April 17.

NFL

Men’s Basketball

Vote changes overtime rules for playoff games Barry Wilner AP Football Writer ORLANDO, Fla. — Sudden death has gotten a little less sudden in the NFL playoffs.

The league on Tuesday changed its overtime rules for postseason games.

Starting next season, if a team wins the coin toss and then kicks a field goal, the other team gets the ball.

If that next series ends with another field goal, play will continue under the current suddendeath rules. If the team winning the toss immediately scores a touchdown, however, the game is over.

Team owners voted 28-4 on Tuesday in favor of the proposal at the NFL meetings.

Minnesota, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Baltimore opposed the change.

Passage was helped by commissioner Roger Goodell’s support and by a spate of statistics indicating the coin toss had become too prominent in determining OT winners.

Minnesota lost last season’s NFC championship game in overtime to New Orleans.

The Saints won the toss, drove downfield and kicked a field goal to win.

“Modified sudden death is an opportunity to make a pretty

good rule ... even better,” said Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee.

“Statistically, it needed to change. It wasn’t producing the ‘fairest result.’”

Those statistics showed that since 1994, the team that won the overtime coin toss won the game on the first possession 34 percent of the time.

Overall, the team that correctly called the coin toss won overtime games nearly 60 percent of the time in the last 15 years, or since kickoffs were moved back 5 yards to the 30.

The new rule applies only to postseason games.

NBA

Prosecutors ask for 3-month sentence for Wizard’s Arenas

By Joseph White and Sarah Karush Associated Press Writers WASHINGTON — Prosecutors are portraying Gilbert Arenas as a thuggish intimidator who tried to pressure his teammate into a cover-up, as they argue for a three-month jail sentence for the NBA star on a weapons charge.

Arenas’ lawyer says his client is “a peaceful man” who played a misguided prank and has already been severely punished for bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room. He says the more fitting punishment is probation and community service.

Both sides staked out their positions on Tuesday in court filings, ahead of Friday’s sentencing in D.C. Superior Court.

Arenas pleaded guilty on Jan. 15 to one felony count of violating the District of Columbia’s strict gun laws, a charge stemming from a locker-room confrontation that followed a card-game dispute between Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton during a Dec. 19 flight to Washington.

Authorities say Arenas threatened to shoot Crittenton in the face and blow up his car. Two days later, Arenas brought four guns to the locker room and put them in a chair by Crittenton’s locker with a sign saying, “Pick 1.” Crittenton then re-

not showing any signs of slowing down defensively, there were no real signs of turning things around offensively during the second half.

Then, the Cyclones’ fortune began to turn around when someone familiar to hitting clutch shots in the postseason would step up for the Cyclones once again.

Just as she did during last year’s postseason, senior guard Denae Stuckey came through for Iowa State when the team needed it the most. With 9:07 remaining, Stuckey made her only shot of the game: a three-pointer to give the Cyclones a 48–47 lead.

The lead would not last for long, but the shot clearly gave the Cyclones an added boost of energy on both offense and defense as the Cyclones would hold Green Bay to just nine more points over the last nine minutes of play.

After Stuckey’s shot, the Cyclones and Phoenix

trieved his own gun and showed it to Arenas.

Prosecutors wrote that the locker-room incident “was not a spur-of-the-moment joke,” but rather a calculated attempt by Arenas to defend his supremacy among his peers.

“In the confined quarters of an airplane, a younger, junior player disrespected the defendant in front of the entire team,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Kavanaugh wrote. “On a team where the defendant is the highest-paid player, was the face of the franchise, and is known for particularly outrageous conduct, the defendant believed he had no choice but to respond.”

In arguing for jail time, Kavanaugh noted that Arenas lied repeatedly about why the guns were in the locker room. Arenas first claimed he brought them to work because he wanted to get them out of the house and away from his three young children.

Also, on the day after the confrontation, Arenas told a member of the Wizards’ management that Crittenton wasn’t even in the locker room when the guns were displayed, according to prosecutors. Minutes later, Arenas asked an unnamed teammate to forward a text message to Crittenton, Kavanaugh wrote.

The message instructed Crittenton about what he should tell NBA officials.

Permission to interview granted Charles Odum AP Sports Writer ATLANTA — Georgia Tech has granted permission for St. John’s to interview Yellow Jackets coach Paul Hewitt.

Georgia Tech associate athletic director Wayne Hogan said St. John’s was given the OK on Tuesday to speak with Hewitt.

Hogan said he did not know when the interview will take place.

Hogan said the request was granted after he said earlier Tuesday that St. John’s had not asked to speak with Hewitt.

“What’s happened from there, I don’t know,” Hogan said.

Hewitt, who is from New York, coached Georgia Tech to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Hewitt has guided Georgia Tech to five NCAA tournaments, including the 2004 Final Four, in his 10 seasons.

His New York background and NCAA experience match St. John’s athletic director Chris Monasch’s stated criteria for a new coach.

“We want to hire someone who has a record of success of

But after nearly perfect for the entire game, going 10–13 from the field and leading the Phoenix with a career-high 29 points, it would Tetschlag who would give the Cyclones one of their first breaks of the game in the form of a costly turnover with 1:39 remaining in the game.

“It just seemed like we could never put backto-back plays together; until we had to,” Bolte said.

“The last two possessions we guarded really hard and certainly did the things we needed to do to win.”

getting into the NCAA tournament,” Monasch said. “In trying to find the right person, probably the safest choice is someone who has done it at this level, someone who believes in the mission of school and understands New York.”

St. John’s fired Norm Roberts last week.

Hewitt did not immediately return a phone message to The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Georgia Tech (23–13) advanced to the championship game of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and earned its first NCAA tournament victory since 2005 before falling to Ohio State in the second round.

The postseason wins followed a disappointing finish to the regular season that left Hewitt’s job security in doubt.

Georgia Tech ended the regular season with two straight losses and five in its last seven.

Hewitt’s six-year contract at about $1.3 million per year has an automatic rollover clause.

He said he had offers from other schools when he signed the contract in 2004; one of those schools is believed to be

St. John’s.

After the ACC tournament, Hewitt blasted suggestions his rollover contract has protected his job.

“I could have made at least a half million more going someplace else but I felt really strong about the philosophy and mission of Georgia Tech,” Hewitt said.

St. John’s hired Roberts after Hewitt signed his new deal with former athletic director Dave Braine. The contract includes buyout clauses for Hewitt and Georgia Tech.

Hogan said it was too early to say if Georgia Tech would enforce its side of the contract and force Hewitt to pay his buyout of approximately $3.4 million.

“I don’t think we’re talking about the contract,” Hogan said. “I think that’s premature.

I think a lot of water has to pass under the bridge.”

Hewitt insisted last week he’s not interested in moving.

“If they tell me they don’t want me here anymore, that’s fine, but my family likes it here.

I like it here,” Hewitt said.

Monasch said the school is ready to offer a salary competitive with top national coaches.

Green Bay had one last shot at regaining the lead and leaving Hilton with a win when junior guard Celeste Hoewisch drove the baseline, trying to get in the lane for a lay-up. However, a strong defensive stand by Lacey would force Hoewisch to turn the ball over with four seconds remaining, giving the Cyclones the ball and the win.

With the win, Iowa State moves into the Sweet 16 and will play the Connecticut in a rematch of the 1999 Sweet 16 game.
