Former Iowa first lady will move to Ames By Michael.Craighton iowastatedaily.com Christie Vilsack, former first lady of Iowa, released a statement Wednesday announcing her intention to move in May to Ames to “continue to explore the possibility of representing Vilsack Iowa in the U.S. House of Representatives.” This would make her the first Democratic challenger to current Rep. Steve King. The 2010 U.S. Census showed slower growth in Iowa compared to other states, resulting in the loss of one representative in the U.S. House. The redistricting plan signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Terry Branstad eliminated the 5th Congressional District. Ames now falls within the 4th

Researcher dispels fears of bacteria By Lea.Petersen iowastatedaily.com A recent outbreak of an antibiotic resistant strain of staphylococcus aureus found in pork, poultry and beef has Americans worried, but should we be? Robert Hubert, teaching laboratory coordinator for the department of microbiology, said not to worry. “Your body will take care of itself; don’t completely avoid meat in fear of eating the bacteria,” Hubert said. “Staphylococcus aureus or S. aureus, is a gram-positive cocci bacteria that is a common human pathogen,” Hubert said. Gram-positive means the bacteria do not have an outer membrane and stains a dark blue or purple color when stained with crystal violet. S. aureus is spherical in shape or coccus, as it is referred to in cell morphology. While S. aureus causes staph infections, it is nothing to lose sleep over.

Students from various colleges unite to compete By Matt.Wettengel iowastatedaily.com After more than eight months, students competing in the ISU Game Development Competition finally displayed the fruits of their labor Wednesday. The competition showcased 15 entries, a number that changed throughout the event, as teams joined the competition as late as February. “We started [our game] three months ago,” said Jacob Freemyer, senior in computer science and member of the team Entropy. “The initial idea was not to be in this competition. We’re from the same high school ... and we said it’d be fun to get

Students sleep outside for poverty By Frances.Myers iowastatedaily.com Cardboard house structures crowded Central Campus sidewalks Tuesday — the work of ISU Catholic Student Community, which hosted a Homeless Awareness Sleepout for students and the public. The national poverty rate is 12.9 percent, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless. A study of homelessness in 2004 by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty found that in 50 cities, nearly every city’s “official estimated number of homeless people greatly exceeded the number of emergency shelter and transitional housing spaces.” The group hosted a sleepout on Central Campus in order to raise awareness for the prevalence of poverty. Teams of four-to-six people were allowed to sign up in a cardboard house building competition, an event new to this year’s sleepout. In order to compete, they

Disney game designer discusses important video game mechanics By Nicole.Wiegand iowastatedaily.com Nathan Sumsion, senior video game designer for Avalanche-Disney Interactive Studios, spoke Wednesday night at the Memorial Union to conclude the ISU Game Development Competition’s final day of presentation and judging. His lecture, entitled “Spelling it Out: Communication roles of a Game Designer,” sought to advise students with an interest in video game design how to best communicate to the various parties the field deals with most. Sumsion pinpointed three specific groups that game designers work with most readily: publishers, development teams and players. “Knowing how to communicate with each group is very important,” Sumsion said.

Activists rally against sexual abuse By Kaleb.Warnock iowastatedaily.com “I learned. And when I learned, I found my voice. I told him, “f**k you” as I ran out of his house.” Liz Steinborn, graduate in equity and social justice education, shared the story of her encounter with a sexual predator to a small crowd Wednesday night on the West Terrace of the Memorial Union. Steinborn was accosted by a close family friend, an incident that had drastic effects on her as a 16-year-old girl. When she was younger, she lived in fear, but now she is a female rights activist. She is one of several women from the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center that helped to organize the Take Back the Night rally and march as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. “Why does the responsibility of keeping ourselves safe lie with us?” Steinborn said. “Why should

The Guinness World Records Book 2011 lists the CBS soap opera “The Bold and The Beautiful” as the “most popular soap opera — current” for its success not only at home, but abroad. The show can be seen in more than 110 countries and garnered 24.5 million viewers across the globe in 2008, making it more watched than any other telenovela or soap opera on television, according to Guinness. As fans mourn the impending loss of long-running soap operas “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” such dramas in other countries and in other languages are thriving.

A hearing in Charlie Sheen’s custody battle with estranged wife Brooke Mueller took place Tuesday in private, despite a request from the actor’s lawyer to allow reporters entrance. While the results were sealed by the judge, Mueller was smiling broadly as she left court, in contrast to a stone-faced Sheen. Los Angeles County, California, Superior Court Judge Hank Goldberg granted Mueller’s request for privacy, agreeing with her lawyer that the publicity would not be good for the couple’s twin 2-year-old sons. About an hour after he entered the courtroom, the actor departed, strolling down the hallway with a woman on one arm and lawyers and guards surrounding him. He looked straight ahead as he moved to a non-public elevator for a departure from the basement garage.

Congressional District. King also announced his intention to run for the House seat Friday in the new 4th District. King said in a statement he is “pledged to represent all the people of the 5th District” and that he will continue to do so to the best of his ability. He also said he has “strong and effective relationships in the current 5th District” and is “looking forward to establishing similar relationships with residents of the new 4th District” as the 2012 election approaches. Vilsack said listening to Iowans about issues they are concerned about is of great importance to her. “More than anything, this should be a discussion about Iowa values — the value of work, the value of opportunity and the value of community,” Vilsack said. James McCormick, professor and chairman of the political science department, expects Vilsack running will make for a competitive race in the new district. “It will be a very expensive campaign on both parts,” McCormick said. “There will be lots of outside interest, both within and outside of the district.” McCormick also said that despite Vilsack’s earlier high-profile status as first lady, she is going to have to reintroduce herself to much of the district. He also expects that her and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack’s — her husband — Washington connections will bring in a lot of prominent politicians. However, King won’t be without bigname support either. “Rep. King’s ties with the Tea Party will also bring in a lot of politicians and campaign money,” McCormick said.
together and build a game that we can put on a marketplace.” Entropy’s entry was one based on the classic “Breakout” game, and they designed it as an Xbox 360, PC and mobile game. Once the team found out about the competition, they decided to pursue one member’s idea of creating a game and began programming an entry of their own. Competitors chose various approaches to their games that could be entered into one of three categories: PC games, mobile games or serious games, which have an intentional purpose to inform, educate or persuade, said Christopher Johnson, lecturer in computer science. Johnson was one of the leaders of the competition, along with Anson Call, associate professor of art and design. The two decided to put together the competition after they saw a need to bring students with similar interests together from different colleges. “[Anson and I] talked about how ... we’ve got a lot of students that really need each other, that have interests in both sides of things, both the creative and design side, but also the technical side of things,” Johnson said. “We’re so separated normally, that this is really something that’s bringing a lot of people together that wouldn’t necessarily ever work together and it’s been really good because that’s what we’re going to be doing once we graduate,” said Stefanie Dao, senior in integrated studio arts and member of Team Knathos. Providing this experience allowed students to create a product of their own outside of class work. Johnson hopes this type of project will encourage students to utilize what they learn in the classroom while they’re still in school. “I feel like as a lecturer, every time I give a homework, that becomes the bar to reach and once they reach it I don’t feel like much learning happens.” Johnson said. “I really want that to be

The good news is that is lasts for a very short time. Such infections usually only last a day, then your body will recover and that will be all.” Students should take care to appropriately wash, handle and prepare meats in order to decrease the risk S. aureus contamination. “Proper handling of food, wearing gloves and hair nets will help keep food from being contaminated,” Hubert said. “Properly cooking meat will denature the toxins of S. aureus and kill the bacteria.” Daily Staff
were asked to pay a fee of $10 or bring 10 nonperishable food items. “Shelly Bruecken did a great job of planning and organizing this year’s event,” said Heidi Dittmer, sophomore in agronomy and member of Catholic Student Community. “So far, as of yesterday we had two teams signed up but we made it so people could sign up today too.” “Now we have a couple more teams who have signed up and are building their structures. Tonight we are expecting more people to show up for the sleepout.” As well as a sleepout, the group also arranged to have a speakers panel in room 3512 of the Memorial Union. One of the panelists was Angie Schreck, assistant director

the baseline, the floor of what they learn. And here since I didn’t set up any exact expectations, the students set their own ceilings basically.” Johnson liked the competition because it provided an intersection between excitement and learning for his students. Students liked the competition because it allowed them to utilize some of the knowledge they’ve gained in their time at Iowa State. “What I love the most is that I never told anybody what to do,” Johnson said, reflecting on the diversity among the competition’s entries. “They worked really hard and they learned a lot, some folks started from absolutely zero knowledge of how to do all of this.” Many students credited their teams’ success to their classes at Iowa State, but a passion for video games and prize incentives drove the ma-
of Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support of Ames. Schreck spoke on the panel addressing the issues of domestic and sexual violence and how they contribute to homelessness. Impoverished, battered women often have to choose between homelessness and abuse, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless. “Overall, domestic and sexual violence is a major contributor to homelessness,” Schreck said. “ A victim may become homeless because they are fleeing from an abusive situation and have not had the opportunity to plan for self sufficiency due to immediate threats. Victims may be wrongfully evicted from their current housing as a result of the abuse.” ACCESS works to give victims
jority of the teams to compete. “Having that creative mind and drive to do this kind of stuff I think is the most important thing,” said Ryan Anderson, senior in computer science and member of Entropy. Entropy members found the feedback from the showcase was one of the most valuable aspects of the competition. The team plans to finish their game, which was in its “teen stage” and to put it on the market as soon as possible. In the future, Johnson and Call hope to continue the competition at Iowa State, but weren’t able to reapply for the $50,000 Motorola Foundation grant they received this year due to new restrictions that were placed on it. They hope to keep the competition going as a local event each year, but aren’t certain about its future, Johnson said.
power back in their own lives. Schreck said this includes evaluating what control an abusive person has taken away from that individual and connecting homeless victims to mainstream resources to aid in self-sufficiency. Vic Moss is executive director of Emergency Residence Project, a non-profit Ames homeless shelter which works to provide meals, shelter, referrals and intervention. “We go off of a fiscal year, and in the last complete year we provided help to around 2,372 people and 700 households,” Moss said. “It’s frustrating because it seems like the problems are bigger than the solutions; what we do is like a drop in the bucket.” “In Ames, there is a waiting list of more than five years for permanent affordable housing that just
got opened back up a year or two ago.” “Out of the renters the ERP assists, half or more don’t qualify for affordable housing because they have poor credit. It seems like the more you need it, the less likely you are going to get it.” In order to help combat homelessness, people need to be aware it exists. While it may not be as obvious as big cities, homelessness is nonetheless a major issue in Ames. “The public has to be informed about homelessness,” Moss said. “It doesn’t get enough publicity and it’s an issue that deals with everyone. People need to get informed, get facts and figures as well as motivation and figure out how best to channel it.”

Editorial
Obama’s hot mic remarks raise concern Some of the online media folks are up in arms about the “hot mic” recording of President Obama making remarks about budget negotiations with GOP leaders. CBS apparently has the full recordings, but has only released a 2-minute, 47-second video of Obama’s comments. The amount of hot mic comments made by the president are unknown, but some folks are asking for the full recordings, citing an interest in the full comments as “news we deserve to hear.” And there lies the conundrum: Should the entirety of these recordings be released to the public? If the president became overly candid with some of his peers in what he believed to be private, those comments are not something the general public needs to hear; it isn’t news so much as a gossip. But then, if the president made comments that are significant enough to be actual news — a subjective and controversial definition to reach in any situation — CBS should want to release those comments so the public could better understand the man leading this country. The question is now whether CBS is correct in regard to not releasing the recordings in their entirety. Mark Knoller, White House correspondent for CBS, tweeted to John Romano, publisher of the blog “Yes, But, However!,” in response to why the entire audio recordings haven’t been released that, “My editors decided against it.” This decision by CBS could be an attempt to cover up comments by Obama, or it could be CBS simply decided the majority of the recordings weren’t newsworthy, and as such decided to not release them as they were private comments. CBS is a news source that makes decisions about what to and what not to cover on a daily basis. Just because it happened upon something doesn’t mean it has to be reported on. If this information has news value, then the recordings should be released. If the information is simply the president talking in what he thought was private, with no real news value, then the recordings do not have to be released. CBS has the information, and as a news source, they can choose what it wants to do with the “story.” We approach this situation with a tentative trust that CBS is making a respectable news judgment decision to not sensationalize comments that have no real bearing on the world; not simply shielding a candidate who has the network’s support. At the same time, we need to carefully watch this and future incidents from any news source if the content in question does indeed possess legitimate news value. Editorial Board

Elections have become too melodramatic
D
onald Trump represents everything wrong with western democracy. Western democratic elections have become a farce and the behavior of western governments around the world insults the plight of those who seek these opportunities that we flagrantly disrespect. I feel at liberty to say this because both Australia and England have gone through similar, farcical events in their most recent elections and it appears America is about to have her turn. Now before you slam down this paper — or your computer — muttering “lefty, commie socialist,” take, for example, the Australian prime ministerial election of 2010. To preface for those unfamiliar with the Westminster system of government, as a voter, you do not vote for a leader, per se, you vote for a party which can, at any point, change its leader. While in America, you have more say as to who represents each party through primary elections, in Australia, England and other commonwealth countries, the party itself selects and supports a leader from within party ranks. So, much like the United
States, Australia had a very popular progressive leader elected after a long and eventually unpopular reign by a rather conservative leader. Kevin Rudd, or Kevin ‘07, was elected with much hoopla and was held as a beacon of hope to those despondent with the state of the nation. However, raising the popularity and notoriety of a politician to celebrity levels can only lead to one thing: a celebrity-sized downfall. As the 2010 election drew ever closer and the popularity of and support for ol’ Kev sunk ever lower, the incumbent party faced the realization that it could not win the next election. Suddenly, and behind closed doors, the deputy prime minister, Julia Gillard, made a move for prime minister. She was popular enough within her party and was eventually chosen to lead, thus becoming Australia’s first female prime minister. The event that lead to this political mutiny? A threat of tax increases on the multi-billion dollar mining industry that supports Australia’s economy by Rudd. Had Rudd garnered favor with the mining industry by refusing or limiting suggested taxation increases on the sector, he would remain the leader today. After the take-over, Australians went to the polls and had their chance to elect a government. This resulted in a nearly 50-
50 split between the conservative Liberal Party, who had three leaders overthrown within its ranks in as many years, and the progressive Labor Party, who couldn’t keep its own leader. Three independent representatives held the balance of power, and eventually reelected the Labor Party and Gillard after days of mystery and speculation as to which party was to lead our country; this result, at least, was a win for us feminists. We now have a government that manages to politicize each petty issue, while no real change or improvement is made. Each speech and comment in and out of parliament is merely an attempt to grab at popularity as each politician is looking to the next election and is fearful of losing their job due to their back stabbing and power grabbing colleagues. Over in Mother England in 2010, there was a split between the three major parties so even that a coalition had to be formed between the centerright Conservative Party and the centrist Liberal Democrat Party to form a government. This sees the Conservative Party leader, David Cameron, have the Liberal Democrat Party leader, Nick Clegg, as his deputy. Leading up to the election, scandalous events were revealed including the coverup of exorbitant spending of government allowances by members of
parliament and the former prime minister calling a supporter of the opposition “a bigoted woman” with a live microphone. If, in countries where elections were traditionally boring affairs, such scandal and intrigue was able to flourish, I can only imagine in the popularity contest that is the U.S. presidential election, what drama will unfold. Good luck to the American people; may they elect a government that is able to rise above the current tit-for-tat politics of our time and act as representatives of the majority, making decisions that benefit the middle and working classes who support and run the country. May voters look to educate themselves on the issues of the election and place an informed decision that is congruent with their needs and beliefs. May the losing party be graceful in defeat and work with the incumbent party with the wisdom and understanding that the great American democracy that led to the election of this leader will in four short years allow another opportunity to make their case for election. While America faces one of its most melodramatic elections, may we all remember that people are losing their lives in the hopes that their children will live in democracy. Honor their lives, be democratic and demand a functional government, not a reality show.

Letters
Lecturer’s letter lacked research, quality I’ve been reading the Daily opinion page for nearly four years now, and enjoyed watching the banter for quite some time. I’ve noticed the trend of criticism and defense of religions, almost always against Christianity. I’ve always perused them and like to think I’ve thought critically about their arguments, weighed them against my own findings and drawn conclusions based on experience, truth, facts and logic, to the best of my human ability. But Mr. Walker’s Tuesday article finally broke my proverbial camel’s back. His “argument” was non-existent. I’ve seen a number of articles soaked in arrogance before, but this one was soaked, washed, rinsed and repeated in a double cycle of arrogance. For anyone to write something so condescending and rude, with nothing to back it up
but a simple sharing of their own opinion is
Bo Meester, senior in history education. pure narcissism. It’s the equivalent of me telling my friend, “You’re wrong, and I’m right, because you’re wrong and I’m smarter than you.” Not a lot of intellectual material there, Mr. Walker. Mr. Walker was so concerned about looking the part of an intellectual as he wrote his article, that he forgot to make it worth reading. All I drew from it was that he’s ardently against any belief in the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, and apparently doesn’t quite care for geologists who do, or even classically trained rednecks. And that’s really a shame. He presented no clear evidence to make his point that the resurrection never occurred; had
he, I may have enjoyed reading it. It’s almost as if he got mad at the previous article, wrote up a scathing response, realized there was no content and proceeded to his word-of-the-day toilet paper roll to add some “academic quality” to his outburst. For anyone who actually wants to start considering common arguments against, and evidence for, the Resurrection, I would turn your attention to “The Case for Easter,” a short book by former Chicago Tribune journalist Lee Strobel. Strobel is a former atheist, who after months of research and interviews in search of proof that Jesus didn’t resurrect, led himself to the best logical conclusion that Jesus, in fact, did rise from death. The book itself is a cliffnotes version of his actual book, “The Case for Christ,” and his evidence is laid out clearly, with expert testimony from guys with more degrees
than Fahrenheit. It’s worth considering, regardless of your stance on the resurrection. It’s really cheap, less than $5 new on Amazon, and what’s better, it’s really short; it only took me an hour to read it, and I’m not even a lecturer in intensive English. Mr. Walker, I plead with you, if you’re going to put your name and title on an article, please oh please oh please, make it worth my while to read it. I understand you’re passionate about your cause, but for the love of all that is academic, please add some quality to your ranting. And I really hope you change your mind about rednecks, because some of us really do enjoy some Mozart or Tchaikovsky in between our moon-shining and tractor-racing.
Private rights exist to assist participation In regards to Mickey Belding’s article, “Second Amendment not a license for individual use of force” and the controversy that it has created, there seems to be great misunderstanding on the purpose and construction and government. The founding fathers wrote the Constitution in order to construct a political space in which the members of the state were free to act. In this regard a constitution is inherently public by definition. After reviewing the definition of a constitution, it is properly understood as a composition or makeup of composed parts, each part being a constituent. As a constituent to the government you inherently have the power to frame and alter the overarching political constitution. The mentality of this ideology is analogous with any object of composed parts. For example, if you remove any one component from a motor, it may still run; but it has been fundamentally damaged in its ability to do so.
Similarly, the individual is also critically damaged when being removed from the constitution, for although each component can be studied in seclusion to the whole, a true understanding of its purpose relies upon its function it has in relation to the other components. In other words, we the people are the government and each constituent has valuable contributions they can make to the collective. Although each individual is vested with private rights the total constitution of the public as well as the private individual are damaged by their disengagement from the public sphere. Understanding this, the founding fathers gave us political rights to help secure and define our role in the public realm. For example, the First Amendment was established to allow individuals the guaranteed
right to participate in discussions, debates and assemblies, together as a public. This helps the individual define themselves as they confront controversial ideas and declare their own thoughts into a listening audience. The public gains the benefit of flexibility and constructive criticism over its policies and performances, and over time as the individuals debate they come to alter their government accordingly. As constituents we have the ability to choose the issues and the appropriate reactions, but it is only be engaging in the public realm that the individual can bring these issues to the table and establish legislation or lack thereof. Other rights, such as the Second Amendment, grant individuals the right to bear arms for the security of the public. As individual constituents we have a vested interest in the security and continuity of our institutions. We are a part of the American institution, and most all Americans will identify themselves
as such, regardless of political orientation. To the extent that we are the ones who shape and develop the government, we have been vested with the duty as well as the right to protection the public sphere. Contrary to popular belief, the Second Amendment was not written for protection from the government, for as the Constitution is constructed we are the government. Other private rights for private purpose exist, such as self-defense, but only as means to protect your foundations of life, which do not necessarily include the use of arms as a proper defense. The government is a construction of individual constituents and our private rights exist to support our participation in the public realm. Individual citizens are provided the ability within the Constitution to define who they are among a population of other engaged individuals. The meaning of The Bill of Rights is to protect this ability.
Comments of the Day
The following comments were left in response to the “What’s your stance on cannabis?” online polls. “Legalize it...It’s one sure-fire way to get the ball rolling in our economy. It’s a plant. As everyone already knows more deaths come from cigarettes and alcohol than there will ever be from marijuana. Easily regulated, and just tax it.”
— Matt Beero “I would have to agree. Marijuana is just a plant. It is grown in the ground. There are more deaths from driving drunk and from cancer caused by smoking cigarettes than there are from marijuana. It is a form of relaxation for some and oth-
ers it helps relieve some pains. I feel it is ok to legalize it. We shouldn’t be arrested for having a little bit in our possession. Welcome to the world of Marijuana!”
— tmgarrison
The following comments were left in response to the letter, “Geology and Christianity do not mix.” “My ability to use a thesaurus doesn’t make my arguments any more or less valid; same goes for you, Mr. Walker. Not to say that I agree *or* disagree with your point, but (quite paradoxically) using big words in a college newspaper makes you sound like an absolute idiot. Next time try throwing in some validation for your arguments. I know you academically-inclined
types prefer intricacy without substance in your writing, so I apologize in advance for making such outlandish requests. Have a good day!”
— Matthew Sullivan “While I agree with Mr. Walker’s conclusion, his logic is flawed: ‘The evidence for mountains having risen is plain. For Jesus having risen there is no evidence; and so it must be concluded that he did not rise from death as a mountain rises from earth, but lies beneath it on a Levantine plain.’ Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. You may argue that you’ve seen no evidence of black swans, therefore black swans do not exist, but it would be fallacious. You can’t prove Jesus did not rise from the dead nor that black swans don’t exist by the absence of evidence.

Doing so is the classic fallacy of the appeal to ignorance, ie something is true because nobody has proven it isn’t. This is an error one expects of sophomores, not professors. If you graduate from college without taking a class that teaches you reason and rhetoric, ie logic and logical fallacies, then you have not been educated, but simply credentialed. Iowa State would benefit from more emphasis on the medieval trivium and less emphasis on political indoctrination. In other words, teach your students how to think rather than what to think.”

It’s a devil’s proof, folks, so unless somebody miraculously finds some evidence either way, we’ll get nowhere trying to be logical about it (especially not while using several fallacies to attack the other party).

MMA creates power shift
Divide between contact sports incites predicament By Jake.Calhoun iowastatedaily.com
Collegiate wrestling saw something unusual this year, when former ISU coach Cael Sanderson led Penn State to its first national title since 1953. The Nittany Lions’ capture of the title was the first time that a team from outside the states
of Iowa, Minnesota, and Oklahoma had won a national championship since Arizona State in 1988. “This is just an opportunity to showcase great wrestling in the East,” said Sanderson, who became the only undefeated wrestler in
NCAA history from 1999 to 2002 as a Cyclone. “I’ve been blown away by the support for wrestling on this side of the country.” Sanderson’s departure from Iowa State to Penn State, along with the development of re-

Rain conflicts approaching norm Scheduling changes break routine, flow By Dan.Kassan iowastatedaily.com April showers have brought nothing but inconsistency and scheduling changes for the ISU club baseball team. During a rain-dominated VEISHEA weekend, Iowa State hosted Northern Iowa for three games, all played Sunday due to poor conditions Saturday, yet another schedule change for the Cyclones. “Having a routine is almost nice and when you break from that routine, people will try to take advantage of that free time, and since it was VEISHEA week last weekend a lot of people went out and partied when they would’ve been playing baseball and that might have affected their play on Sunday; who knows,” said ISU senior Matthew Coffey. The rain and snow mixture that fell Tuesday prevented Iowa State from practicing. The batters weren’t able to get batting practice, the pitchers weren’t able to keep loose and the fielders couldn’t get in any preparation on fielding grounders and throw-
ing out base runners. It’s a tough break for a team struggling heavily on defense. Errors have plagued the Cyclones so far this season. Coffey said there are two types of errors: physical and mental. “Physical errors are OK because you know the guy gave it his all and he might have gotten a bad hop or something,” Coffey said. “Mental errors are the things that really kill you. So many errors made that day [Sunday] really frustrating and really long. When it’s like that, it’s not fun to play in the field.” Teammate Shawn Lawler agreed, adding that it is a culmination of many factors leading to losses. “We didn’t really get the hops, had some bad hops, ground balls in the outfield we didn’t get down on,” Lawler said. “Kinda hard to explain what exactly does it, practice, it could be just focus; just hard to tell.” Iowa State has had its chances to break out of the slump. It led 5-3 into the top of the seventh and final inning during game two against the Panthers, but Northern Iowa struck for four runs off pitcher Jeff Peterson and eventually won the game and the final one Sunday afternoon. “We showed up Sunday for three games, everybody’s tired, probably hung over who knows,” Lawler said.
Softball
Hawkeyes remain dominant at home, conquer Cyclones By Darrin.Cline iowastatedaily.com The predominant sports rivalry in the state, the CyHawk Series, took to the diamond Monday night in Iowa City. Unfortunately for Cyclones fans, the home team carved out a 4-3 victory. “We had opportunities and they gave us opportunities,” said Cyclone coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler. “We just had some trouble adjusting offensively early.” The Cyclones (19-20 overall, 1-7 in the Big 12) fought back late, but were unable to topple the Hawkeyes (25-16, 7-3).With the win, Iowa now holds a one game advantage in the all-time series, 31-30-1. Jenny Schuelke was the difference maker. Schuelke, senior outfielder for the Hawkeyes and former teammate of ISU star Heidi Kidwell, cracked a three run home run in the second inning. Schuelke only came to the plate twice during the match up, but made the most of her opportunities. “That was not an ideal situation. We missed with the pitch and they just capitalized,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. Both teams remained stagnant on offense until the fifth inning. Iowa State began clawing its way back into the
picture. Catcher Amandine Habben, shortstop Cassie Knutson, and outfielder Heidi Kidwell loaded the bases. Back-to-back walks given up by Hawkeye pitcher Chelsea Lyon scored Knutson and pinch runner Kelsey Enslin. Heading into the sixth inning, the Cyclone rally seemed to be on fire. Iowa reliever Kayla Massey stepped up to the mound, and Iowa State’s Erin Johnson took advantage of the freshman hurler. Johnson launched a line drive to rightfield for a triple. Johnson completed her trip around the bases on a sacrifice bunt by Habben, tying the score at three. “We were very patient at that point. They walked the bases full with no outs but we couldn’t fully capitalize on it,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “We got into the heart of our line up where we should come through, but we didn’t.” In the bottom of the sixth inning, Iowa’s Liz Watkins wasted no time turning the tide. A double by Watkins gave the Hawkeyes a runner in scoring position, and a Michelle Zoeller sacrifice fly secured the Iowa victory. “I don’t think they were really that much better than us. I thought we matched up well with their pitching and I thought we could win,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.
>>SUPPORT.p8A gional training sites with an emphasis in Olympic freestyle wrestling on the East Coast, has accounted for this recent trend. “As a result of that, wrestling is developing more,” said former ISU coach Bobby Douglas. “People are getting more educated about it, and I think that there’s potential for growth.” Douglas, who coached Arizona State to the 1988 title before coaching Iowa State from 1992 to 2006, went on to say that the influence of mixed martial arts on the West Coast has inhibited the growth of wrestling in that area. “It hurts us not having guys going into the Olympics and going right into MMA,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson. “It hurts the country.” Jackson, a 1992 Olympic freestyle gold medalist, formerly competed in MMA to stay in shape after missing the cut for the 1996 U.S. Olympic freestyle team. “With the MMA, you can take advantage of the things that you’ve been doing for 20 years; the skills that you’ve learned and have become an expert in can pay off for you big-time as far as winning more titles on the MMA level, as well as making a lot more money than you would wrestling,” Jackson said. Arizona State’s Bubba Jenkins committed to MMA after winning the 157-pound title at this year’s national tournament. “I’m excited about it,” Jenkins said. “With me being a twotime finalist, national champ and junior world champ, I believe that should give me some good fights to begin with.” Even though wrestlers with world or Olympic accolades would be more attractive to the MMA world, there’s no guarantee for someone with accomplishments at the NCAA level to succeed in the world or Olympic scenes. “I’d much rather see our guys go for the world championships, Olympic games, and then after that they choose to go to MMA and do that,” Jackson said. Another 2011 national champion, Iowa State’s Jon Reader, decided to continue wrestling under the guidance of Jackson for the Cyclone Wrestling Club with Olympic aspirations. “He has the mindset that he wants to accomplish something bigger and better and that’s a world Olympic title,” Jackson said of Reader. “So he’s going to stay in our room as a member of the Cyclone Wrestling Club, continue to train with [Trent and Travis] Paulson and continue to improve.” The divide between Olympic wrestling and MMA has been drawn by the number of differences in culture on both the East and West Coasts, creating a schism in the sport at the collegiate level.
Past schedule changes March 26 to 27 Iowa State was scheduled to host Saint Louis University, but it called to cancel their trip. Temperatures for that weekend hovered around the low- to mid-30s. A team scrimmage took place of three games.
April 2 to 3 The initial schedule had Iowa State traveling to Mankato to play Minnesota State-Mankato. However, the Mankato field was not in game shape. Mankato instead made the trip to Ames. Rain threatened to cancel the series altogether, but no rain fell and games were played as scheduled. Iowa State dropped two of three to the Mavericks.
“Just kinda happens, kinda tough not knowing when you’re going to play.” It’s the start of the Cyclones final two series. After this series, Iowa State will battle another in-state rival, the University of Iowa, in Iowa City next weekend.

Conference promotes green energy By Elisse.Lorenc iowastatedaily.com While other students spent their weekend at VEISHEA, 19 ISU students headed to Power Shift, a nationwide, green energy conference in Washington, D.C. Students from across the country arrived for the fourday conference, and attended panels and workshops to teach students about activism and clean energy. Throughout the conference, keynote speakers came to address students about various environmental issues plaguing our planet, including former Vice President Al Gore, environmental and civil rights activist Van Jones, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson, and 350.org founder and author Bill McKibben. Gore and McKibben stressed the urgency of the climate change threat, stating the year 2010 as being the hottest so far on record. “Last year 2010, was the hottest year ever recorded in the instrumental record statistically tied with 2005, 9 of the 10 hottest years have been in the last 12 years,” Gore said. McKibben said science is the easy part of this — grim, but easy — 2010 was the warmest year on record, reaching a high temperature of 129 degrees in Pakistan. That kind of heat melts the arctic, caused droughts so deep across Russia that the Kremlin stopped all grain exports, and caused 4 million people in Pakistan to be homeless due to flooding, McKibben said.

That is why coal, oil and natural gas are all called “fossil fuels.” “We burn death in our power plants without ceremony, and then we act shocked when having pulled death out of the ground and burned it,” Jones said. “We acted shocked when we get death from the skies in form of all the warming and death on our oceans in form of oil spills, and death in our choked lungs in the form of asthma and cancer. Let’s stop fueling our society based on death and destruction.” To phase fossil fuels out of the world’s culture, economy

and environment, Jackson sees the answer within the students, students who gathered from all over the country to Power Shift. “Our first line of defense is you: young people who are organized and active,” Jackson said. “The young people who came together this weekend for one of the largest grassroots training ever held, the young people since the first earth day 40 years ago, have always been the leading voices for environmental protection in our nation.” This generation is bigger than the Baby Boomers, it’s more diverse, ecologically
conscious and technologically savvy, Jones said. “Each and every one of you is a walking technological superpower, what will happen in America when you stop using these devices as toys and start using them as tools to change America,” Jones said.

my hair or my clothing dictate whether or not I’m targeted for sexual assault. Instead of being told how to stay safe, I say we demand our safety.” Steinborn not only wanted to empower young men and women, she also helped to raise larger social questions. Her speech continued to discuss what is often called the American “rape culture”; a concept that criticizes society for focusing on holding people responsible for their own safety to avoid sexual assault, rather than working to prevent sexual assault by educating people of the potential negative effects of their actions. Several other speakers, including provost Elizabeth Hoffmann, Peter England, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Student Services coordinator Brad Freihoefer each shared the same theme of empowering men and women to stand up for their own rights and to hold perpetrators accountable for sexual crimes. At the conclusion of Steinborn’s speech, the Campanile tolled and the small, but loud group of young women and a few men walked down the south steps toward Lincoln Way chanting, “Yes means yes, no means no. However we dress, wherever we go.” The sun began to set over Friley Hall and cast a long, golden beam across a choppy Lake Laverne, sharing the surface with the reflection of a cloudy April sky. The weather had little effect on the small, but dedicated marchers. Although this was a loud and jubilant event, some of the individuals present attended for much more personal reasons. One of such individuals was a young woman, Vicki, who was sexually assaulted. “I was molested as a child, and I feel like I need to be here for other people,” she said as her voice broke. She began to weep. “I want just to let other people know that there are families out there that will come out,” Vicki said. “There’s just people that don’t feel strong enough to tell anyone. I feel like that for the next generation we can stop this.” Despite difficulty, Vicki visibly shared her experience, she called on ISU students to be active in combating sexual assault. “I feel like students really don’t realize how hurtful people can be, or don’t pay attention to people’s actions and that they might be able to help someone if they pay attention,” Vicki said. The march continued south on Lynn Avenue and turned west on Knapp Street before returning north down Welch Avenue. The march attracted stares from many onlookers and even picked up a few bystanders who marched alongside them for a short time. Although there were mostly young women present, a few male students were also in attendance. They too, were beginning to understand the importance of sexual assault awareness. “At the end of this, I feel more connected. It seems like there are many things happening behind the scenes that you don’t know about,” said Charles Kanube, graduate in biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology. “Because it doesn’t happen to you, most of the time you don’t know about it.” Despite being yelled at from open windows in Friley, the march continued through the arches and concluded at the Union Drive Community Center. It was followed by an open mic night, in which those present were able to share their experiences in open discussion with their peers. Steinborn said she was thrilled about the attendance and deemed the event a success. She had few reservations about sharing, and was optimistic about the effects of her efforts. “That’s the first that I’ve told my story to a group of people that I wasn’t directly connected to. It was empowering, but it was scary,” Steinborn said. “I think being able to now communicate that with others is really important. Share your story. There are people who want to listen.”

He said there are 15 various facets integral to a game’s design that must be consistently communicated throughout the design process. Among these were artificial intelligence, plot, mechanics, content, game flow and the “fun factor.” “As designers, we have to tie all these ideas together and make sure everyone understands them correctly,” Sumsion said. He described one of the objectives of a video game designer as “[trying] to communicate these ideas in our head to a programmer or artist and explain, ‘This is why this is gonna be fun,’ so they can take it a step forward and make it something people want to play.” A constant communication between a designer and the development team is essential to the process, Sumsion said. However, the relationship a studio has with its publisher mainly consists of game pitches and game design documents. Because of this, Sumsion said, the communication process between the two is slightly different. “Visually communicating is a big key; use lots of pictures,” Sumsion said. “Concept art, images which encompass the general scope of the game, is one of the best tools a studio can bring to a pitch.” However, the game design document is at the heart of the pitch. A game design

document outlines and summarizes every aspect of the game from the plot and gameplay to characters and levels. Sumsion said there is no set format or length for a game design document and that they typically range from 40 pages to more than 200 pages. He cautioned game designers to be concise in their description of the game, though. “If you have some 400-page masterpiece with your epic storyline, no one’s go-
ing to read it,” he said. Sumsion also encouraged game designers to hook publishing companies with new and unique ideas, as well as bringing along a complete and working demo version of the game. Sumsion said every situation in which communication is necessary for game design studios is going to be different. “Figure out what works well in your situation, and do it,” he said.

Ames musicians cooperate to create vinyl record label By Dylan Boyle Ames247 writer Local vinyl is coming to Ames and will soon be traveling across the Midwest. Chris Ford, frontman of Christopher the Conquered, and Nate Logsdon, frontman of Mumford’s, have joined forces with several other Ames bands to create Maximum Ames Records, a label to help local bands release vinyl records and help with distribution and promotion. Back in the fall, Logsdon and Ford — both vinyl record enthusiasts — started meeting weekly to discuss projects their bands were working on and

Idol contestant speaks for Asian heritage week “American Idol’s” Andrew Garcia will speak Friday as part of Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. Garcia was a top 24 contestant on season nine of Fox’s “American Idol.” At his audition, he sang “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5, and all four judges voted yes to send him to Hollywood for the next rounds. He was born in Compton, Calif., but grew up in Moreno Valley, Calif,, where he still lives. He sings vocals and plays the guitar for the Moreno Valley band The Adrian William Project with Frank Hagen. Their first single is titled “Sandbox.” He has been singing since he was 18 years old. The 25-year-old Garcia’s wife is popular YouTube artist Christine Concepcion, and they have a son, Caeland. Garcia is also an advocate for people of color pursuing careers in the arts. Garcia was recently featured in the “American Idols LIVE!” tour 2010.

Maximum Ames plans four-day music festival
September ‘complete music takeover’ will showcase local talent, free shows By Dylan Boyle Ames247 writer It will be a “complete music takeover” of the city of Ames. Several groups and Maximum Ames Records have started planning a four-day music festival spanning dozens of venues and showcasing local talent during September. The Maximum Ames Music Festival will be during the weekend of Sept. 22 to 25, with events Thursday night in west Ames, Campustown on Friday night and
in the Main Street area Saturday and Sunday, including Bandshell Park. The festival will also provide music Saturday for the annual Octagon Center for the Arts art walk and the weekly farmer’s market. The festival will be a collaboration between the Main Street Cultural District, Octagon, The Space for Ames, The Ames Public Library and Wheatsfield. Nate Logsdon, frontman of Mumford’s who helped organize a 12-hour marathon show at the Ames Progressive — now The Space for Ames — in February, said
the festival will be more of a Mission Creek-styled event, with lots of free shows throughout the weekend and wristbands for sale that get attendees into all shows. So far, organizers are still in the early stages so no bands have been booked yet, but Logsdon said some bands have been contacted to generate their interest in the project. “I really think we’re going to get a chance to do something special with the first year and hopefully grow it year by year into a very exceptional celebration of Iowa,” Logsdon said.
>>LABEL.p1B expressed interest in releasing their own albums on vinyl. “Music sales in all mediums have gone down in the last few years except for vinyl, which is up,” Logsdon said. “Now that music is so available digitally, I think that music fans are only interested in having physical music if it is a very special object, not like a jewel case CD, which is kind of a hassle, where as a 12-inch LP is just a fine object with a bigger and more creative album art.” After considering options for releasing vinyl, they decided to create a label to promote Ames and Iowa music and give artists a whole promotional package as well as some financial backing for vinyl pressing. Maximum Ames will also have a website for sales and digital distribution of albums; each hard copy vinyl will come with a digital download code. Along with that, Ford said the label has started networking with local music and record stores in the Midwest to distribute physical copies. “You’re going to be able to buy Maximum Ames Records

at least in Midwest stores,” Ford said. “We really want to promote the tradition of Iowa music as something that is an identifying characteristic of us.” Ford said how much financial help the label gives will be determined on a band to band basis. Maximum Ames has set up a fundraiser show Friday at the Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines, featuring Mumford’s, Christopher the Conquered, Pennyhawk, and Derek Lambert and the Prairie Fires. Some money from each album sale will go back to the label to help fund more albums. Logsdon said the goal is
not to manage bands, just help local musicians they love put out quality vinyl records. “We’re a group of musicians,” Ford said. “The model we working with now makes sure that the label doesn’t make more money than the artists from sales.” Maximum Ames is looking to release about five albums a year, starting with Mumford’s second full-length album “Triple Trinities,” due out in July. Christopher the Conquered’s next release will
be the next album out, followed by a Derek Lambert 7-inch release sometime in the future. Because Ford and Logsdon have good ties with Dom and Phil Rabalais, who front Fairfield band Utopia Park and run a cassette tape label called Sweat Power Records, Maximum Ames will occasionally collaborate with Sweat Power to release albums on cassette as well. Along with Christopher the Conquered and Mumford’s, Logsdon said Maximum Ames is also working with Poison Control Center and Leslie and the LY’s for some specialty releases later this year.
