WelcomeFest frenzy Students look forward to freebies at event

By Taysha.Murtaugh iowastatedaily.com “Do we have to show our IDs to get on this one?” said five freshman girls as they boarded the Orange 23 bus in front of Maple-Willow-Larch.

They were headed to WelcomeFest, an annual event held by the Student Activities Center in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 25.

“I’m excited for the free stuff,” one girl said as she sat down.

Similar to ClubFest, WelcomeFest gives students an opportunity to experience Ames’ local businesses, community organizations and ISU departments — and yes, the vendors often give out a lot of freebies.

By Whitney.Sager iowastatedaily.com The recent recall of millions of eggs, believed to have been the cause of an outbreak of salmonella infection cases, has left people thinking twice before devouring their scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast.

Despite the egg speculation, the ISU community has nothing to worry about.

ISU Dining personnel have taken the necessary precautions to prevent the use of contaminated eggs in meals and baked goods prepared for campus dining centers.

Composting betters recycling

The final product of the process is held up at the Composting Facility. The facility is located 3.7 miles south of campus. This facility is made up of seven large, white “hoops.” Courtesy photo: ISU Dining

Approximately 3.7 miles south of campus, seven large, white, half circles sit off of the gravel road and rise above the stereotypical Iowa landscape of cornfields and farmhouses, covering what looks like large piles of dirt.

These white “hoops,” as they’re called, comprise Iowa State’s compost facility.

Composting has existed at Iowa State since 1993, initially using cattle manure and yard waste accumulated by Campus Services.

The composting operation is able to “divert over 2,000 tons of waste material from the landfill each year ... in combination with the estimated 1,600 tons of animal waste, bedding material and additional compost bulking agents from ISU farms,” according to the compost site’s page on the ISU website.

“We produce about 4,000 tons of compost per year,” said Steve Jonas, agricultural specialist at the ISU research farms.

“We’re using all of the organic stuff that we can, so we’re trying to get as much out here as we can.”

The compost generated at the ISU facility is used with new buildings on campus. The topsoil at a new building’s site is scraped off and mixed with compost and sand, which adds and helps to retain nutrients and increases the soil’s water retention.

Compost is also used by KCI Landscape Supply and is available to anyone that is interested in purchasing it in large quantities.

“A lot of people think compost is fertilizer, but it’s more of an amendment to the soil,” Jonas said.

Last fall, ISU Dining became involved and began com-

posting food waste generated from Seasons and Union Drive Marketplaces.

As of this year, all three of the residence hall dining centers contribute to the composting facility.

They all have pulpers which grind up the food waste, which then goes through the pulper, where all of the water is squeezed out and sends the remaining waste to a special trash can. This final, waterless product is what’s transported to the composting facility.

Food waste is measured to determine how much is preconsumer, which is waste generated from food preparation, and how much is post-consumer, waste generated by students after they’ve eaten.

“We record the waste because we want to acknowledge what’s pre- and what’s post[consumer waste],” said Nancy

Public Universities

Iowa State lands in top quarter ranking Harvard University ranked No. 1 overall

By Kristine.Ahlfield iowastatedaily.com Iowa State ranked in the top 25 percent of national public universities for the 12th straight year.

U.S. News and World Report annually ranks universities nationwide both public and private.

This year Iowa State ranks No. 41 out of 164 in “best public university.”

Overall, in the “best national university” category, Iowa State ranks 94th out of 262 universities.

“I’m not surprised [that Iowa State ranked in the top 25 percent],”

ISU Dining eggs void of salmonella outbreak

said Marc Harding, Iowa State’s admissions director.

“Iowa State continues to be a leader in higher education and it’s nice to see it recognized. The staff, students and the whole community should be proud.”

Last year Iowa State was slightly higher in the rankings at 39th in “best public university” and 88th in “best national university.”

Changes made to the ranking calculation process factored into Iowa State’s 41st-place ranking.

Though Iowa State has fallen slightly in the rankings, John McCarrol, executive director of university relations, said that throughout the past 12 years, Iowa State has ranked between 36th and 41st in the “best public university” category.

“We have remained remarkably consistent,” McCarrol said.

Individually, Iowa State’s College of Engineering and College of Business were ranked in the top 100 nationally.

The College of Business ranked at 88th and the College of Engineering at 37th.

Within the College of Engineering, the school’s specialty area of biological/agricultural engineering ranked 4th in the nation.

“It makes us feel good as a department, it’s a very nice feeling,” said Ramesh Kanwar, chairman for the department. “It’s a reflection of the quality of the people we have.

The faculty and staff are doing great

The SUV Daycare Center, located in University Village, suffered severe damage from the flood earlier this month.

The daycare center experienced 6-8 inches of water inside their building and was shut down.

Police Blotter:

Elin Nordegren said she never had an inkling.

She said she never hit her famous husband with a golf club.

She said she’s never felt so sad and devastated, and hopes she never will again.

All this and more from the woman the world has waited to hear from since that Thanksgiving night in November that shattered her marriage and the carefully crafted image of Tiger Woods.

“I’ve been through hell,” Nordegren said in an interview with People magazine released Wednesday, two days after she and Woods were officially divorced. “It’s hard to think you have this life, and then all of a sudden — was it a lie? You’re struggling because it wasn’t real. But I survived. It was hard, but it didn’t kill me.”

She and the couple’s children, 3-year-old daughter Sam and 18-month-old son Charlie, have settled a mile from her ex-husband in a rented, fivebedroom house in a gated community in Windermere, Fla. — where Woods needs her permission to get past the guard. The two share custody.

Levandowski, director of ISU Dining. “We think it’s very important because we don’t want to be saying to the students ‘You have more waste’ when really it’s pre-consumer because we’re getting more food products that are not in a bag that we just open up and pour out to use.”

The amount of waste produced in each dining center is also recorded, so that it can be used as a comparison to data collected from the dining center’s waste output from last year.

Data from Union Drive Marketplace will be used to monitor the difference in the amount of waste produced last year when the dining center had trays and, this year, with the conversion to trayless dining.

“What it did do for us, in going trayless [and adding] composting, is we no longer are taking that post-consumer waste and putting it down a garbage disposal and into the water,” Levandowski said.

“What was happening was we were starting to get charged for wastewater. So

>>RUSH.p1 Friday night they will have the opportunity to return to two of their favorite fraternities they had visited. When Fall Rush ends, the fraternity members will be able to invite any men to join their chapter.

Josh K., one of the vice presidents of recruitment for the Interfraternity Council, said the event “gives [men] the opportunity to see a large number of chapters over a short three-day period.”

Dan Schwartzstein, junior in kinesiology, went through Fall Rush in 2009 and joined a fraternity as a result. He said he liked the Fall Rush process.

“I thought it was well or-

ganized. The Rho Gammas did a good job of staying unbiased [and] making me feel comfortable with the different fraternities.”

Fraternity chapters recruit most of their new members during the summer in a more casual process. Lucas D., the other vice president of recruitment for the Interfraternity Council, said that their goal was to make Fall Rush more structured and formal.

He said the reason men are interested in going through Fall Rush rather than joining in the summer is because it allows them the opportunity to meet and interact with more of the members of a fraternity before committing to it.

“It’s their only opportunity to see this many chapters,” Lucas D. said.

Last year was the first organized fraternity rush in more than 20 years. This fall there are 70 men signed up, which is 50 more than the number of participants in 2009.

Any men interested in participating in Fall Fraternity Rush can still sign up by emailing gogreek@iastate.edu or calling the Office of Greek Affairs at 515-294-1023. The event includes three meals and a T-shirt.

It’s a low pressure situation.

See a few houses [and] investigate if it’s something you are interested in.”

Nancy Levandowski, director of campus dining services, said dining services received notification Aug. 14 that six of their egg cartons were on the recall list. Immediate action was taken to remove those cartons of eggs from the shelves before any of the potentially infected eggs were used.

Those eggs came from the Los Fredo produce company, one of two companies ISU Dining purchases eggs from. The other is Oskaloosa Food Products Corp., a company that provides frozen eggs to the dining centers.

Levandowski said Oskaloosa Foods sent out a letter Monday, Aug. 23 stating they would not use any shell eggs from either Wright County Egg or Hillandale Farms – companies whose eggs were recalled.

“We spend a good amount of time making sure we have safe products,” Levandowski said.

In the past when food recalls have been issued, Levandowski said ISU Dining has posted signs informing customers that any potentially contaminated products have been pulled from shelves.

Salmonella Infection Salmonella is a bacterial disease that harbors in the intestinal tract, according to the Mayo Clinic’s website.

Darrell Trampel, extension poultry veterinarian and poultry diagnostician in the veterinary medicine laboratory, said there are more than 2,400 strains of salmonella. The strain that infects chickens and their eggs is carried by mice.

The infection is spread from mice to chickens through the mice’s feces. Trampel said chickens may consume the feces if it is present in the chicken’s feed.

Humans who don’t take precautions when handling or cooking eggs risk the chance of contracting the infection.

Trampel suggests keeping eggs refrigerated, washing hands after handling eggs and thoroughly cooking both egg yolks and egg whites in order to ward off the salmonella infection.

“It’s very important that eggs be refrigerated,” Trampel said. “As long as they are kept cool, even if they have a few salmonella bacteria, the bacteria won’t divide and multiply.”

However, Trampel urges consumers not to consume the eggs that were on the recall list.

“Just destroy them, or return them to the store,” Trampel said.

The accidents have prompted the Iowa transportation department to consider moving up the installation of cable median barri-

‘Silly’ error may cost New Jersey $400 million in education grants Geoff Mulvihill The Associated Press HADDONFIELD, N.J. — For anyone who’s ever entered the wrong number on a tax return and been denied a refund, or accidentally overtipped, here’s some consolation: A silly error on New Jersey’s application for the highly competitive Race to the Top education grants might have cost the state $400 million.

The federal government announced that nine states and the District of Columbia had won the coveted grants. New Jersey was the top runner-up.

A panel judged the lengthy applications on a 500-point scale.

New Jersey finished just three points behind Ohio, which received the grant.

New Jersey was only barely ahead of Arizona and Louisiana, both states that did not receive the grant either.

But New Jersey lost all five points on one section in which officials were asked to show that the state gives a consistent percentage of its revenue to education.

The application called for us-

ing data from 2008 and 2009 to make the case. New Jersey used figures from the 2010 and 2011 state budgets.

It’s not certain that the state would have aced the section if the right numbers had been used — but it certainly would have done at least a bit better.

The gaffe was first reported by the Star-Ledger of Newark.

It appears that the governor’s administration made the error late in the process before it submitted the application June 1, according to differences between a draft of the application reviewed by The Associated Press and the form that ended up being submitted by the state.

Now Democrats are teeing off on Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, for the problem.

State Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, a Democrat, called it “a stunning mistake that is going to hurt New Jersey’s children.”

At a news conference Wednesday, Christie accepted responsibility for the mistake, which he called a “clerical error” by a midlevel staffer charged with reviewing a 1,000-page document at the state Department of Education.

But he also blamed the administration of President Barack Obama for docking the application because of it.

Education Commissioner Bret Schundler was told about the error at a meeting in Washington this month and provided the correct information, Christie said — but it was still held against the application, which was reviewed by a national panel of education experts.

The panel appears to be more concerned with technical details than the educational proposals, Christie argued.

“This is the stuff, candidly, that drives people crazy about government and crazy about Washington,” he said.

“Does anybody in Washington, D.C., have a lick of common sense?”

Christie said his administration would ask the federal Education Department if it can have some of the $100 million left in the Race to the Top fund that hasn’t been allocated.

The governor also blamed the New Jersey Education Association, the state’s main teachers union, for not supporting the application — costing points that were given for having others in the state’s educa-

tion community on board.

“What this application proved is that the NJEA is irrelevant,” Christie said.

“Because with their support, we would have gotten the Race to the Top money.”

Before the deadline, Schundler worked out some compromises with the union to win its support.

Dawn Hiltner, a union spokeswoman who was on the committee, provided a draft of the application that included the budget data from the right years.

But before that application was submitted, Christie said he wouldn’t abide by the compromises — most of which dealt with how merit pay for teachers would work.

The reworked application included the numbers from the wrong years.

Christie said that using the compromise would have cost the state’s application even more points that the mistake did.

There’s one change sure to come out of the problem: Christie said the state Education Department would have two workers, rather than one, give a final check to future grant applications.

Nation briefs Obama to address US to mark end of Iraqi combat

By Erica Werner The Associated Press VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass.

— President Barack Obama will address the nation from the Oval Office and also visit troops at Fort Bliss in Texas on Tuesday to mark the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announced the dual commemoration in a statement and tweet Wednesday.

The speech will mark Obama’s second address from the Oval Office. He first spoke from the presidential office on June 15 to address the nation about the gulf oil spill.

Meanwhile, Fort Bliss is a symbolic military venue. The sprawling Army base in El Paso, Texas, has fielded numerous units to Iraq. Last week, some 600 soldiers from the 1st Brigade Combat team returned there in two groups after their latest tours.

Obama promised in 2009 to end the formal combat mission by Aug. 31, and earlier this week the White House said the number of U.S. troops staged in Iraq had fallen below 50,000.

Iraq is scheduled to assume security for its own territory after next Tuesday, with the U.S. falling into an advisory and backup role.

U.S.-led forces attacked Iraq in March 2003. More than 4,400 U.S. troops have subsequently died in the fighting.

Homeless man indicted in inferno Jeff Barnard, The Associated Press ASHLAND, Ore. — Families looked for valuables, pets and mementoes Wednesday in the ashes of 11 homes destroyed by a fast-moving wildfire while a homeless man accused of starting the blaze sat in jail.

John Thiry, 40, was arrested at 3 a.m. under a freeway ramp and arraigned on 10 counts of reckless endangerment and 14 counts of reckless burning, police said.

“Homeless living in the interface in Ashland is a real problem and a huge concern,” said Gary Jones as he helped his daughter, Lisa Jones, look through the blackened waterlogged rubble that used to be her home. “Who wants to be homeless? But by the same token, you can’t have camping in the middle of summer out there and lighting the place on fire.”

Ashland police Detective Sgt. Jim Alderman said other people at a homeless camp along Interstate 5 just outside the city limits saw Thiry running from the initial fire Tuesday afternoon.

The fire immediately burned an abandoned barn where homeless people sleep, and the embers blew across the freeway, touching off the blaze that raced through a subdivision, Alderman said.

The fire on the outskirts of Ashland, a town of about 21,000 people best known as home to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, ignited the 11 homes on one side of the same street one after the other, setting off explosions Tuesday afternoon.

“It was just inferno — black smoke, RV, things blowing up, gas tanks, tires,” neighborhood resident Cindy Walker said. “Propane tanks, I don’t know. It sounded like bombs going off. Like tornadoes of black smoke coming out of garages and backyards.”

Lisa Jones, pregnant with her first child, said she had just gone outside to get a tomato from the garden when she saw a house down the street was on fire. Her husband, teacher Nanosh Lucas, was on the couch recuperating from minor surgery. They managed to grab her computer and set a propane tank out in the street so it wouldn’t explode before a police officer told them it was time to go. They drove away in her car, leaving his in the driveway, where it burned.

When they returned, their cat, Lucy, was nowhere to be found.

The house was flattened.

“It was really cool,” Lisa Jones said. “It had a nice open floor plan. About a year ago we finished painting it. We took down the wallpaper. We put down new floors. We had all our artwork from traveling.

“We just drove away,” she said.

While Lisa Jones and her best friend, Lauren Jones, took photos of the rubble, Gary Jones exclaimed that he had found two carbonized tomatoes in what was left of the garden.

“No way! Stop it! Serious?” his daughter exclaimed.

“Oooooooh. The one garden I ever had.”

“These are going in the museum,” Gary Jones said.

Three other houses were damaged and homes along four

streets in the 1970s-era neighborhood were evacuated. The flames were finally controlled around dusk and no injuries were reported. Officials were tallying the damage Wednesday and looking for the cause of the blaze, which burned less than 20 acres.

In southern Idaho, firefighters hoped calmer, cooler weather would help them gain ground on a wildfire that scorched more than 510 square miles.

The lightning-sparked fire was fueled by strong winds Sunday and Monday, blackening more than 327,000 acres and becoming the nation’s largest actively battled wildfire since it started Saturday. So far, crews have contained 40 percent of the fire burning across a desolate, flat landscape of sagebrush and cheatgrass.

Full containment was forecast for Friday.

Meanwhile, firefighters planned an aerial attack on a 1,300acre wildfire that temporarily forced the evacuation of 200 homes in Kern County, about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

County fire Cmdr. Mark Geary said low temperatures and higher humidity allowed crews to close in on the two-square-mile fire overnight.

Temperatures in the area Wednesday were expected to reach triple digits, making it miserable for crews digging trenches and clearing vegetation.

About 200 homes were evacuated Tuesday but those orders were lifted later in the day.

Elsewhere in California, a lightning-sparked blaze burning in Yosemite National Park since Aug. 9 blackened 160 acres in the Lake Vernon area north of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. The National Park Service said crews were managing the fire for ecological benefits.

Firefighters had mostly contained a blaze east of Mount Diablo State Park in Contra Costa County by Wednesday morning. The fire, covering 375 acres, initially threatened six homes and 20 outbuildings, but no evacuations were ordered.

In Ashland, firefighters were battling a 6-acre grass fire on one side of I-5 that destroyed the barn, two shacks and a trailer when they got the call that flames were running up a grassy hill across the freeway and igniting the line of homes, said city Fire Marshal and Division Chief Margueritte Hickman.

Stabbing suspect may be Major Garrett leaving part of pro-mosque group Fox for National Journal

By Tom Hays The Associated Press NEW YORK — A group that promotes interfaith dialogue and has supported a controversial proposed mosque near ground zero said one of its volunteers is likely the man who’s been accused of stabbing a New York taxi driver after asking whether he was Muslim.

The Rev. Robert Chase of Intersections International said he believed that Michael Enright, who is in police custody, has volunteered for the group, based on the police saying Enright is from Brewster, N.Y., and other details.

A Facebook profile for a man named Michael Enright lists the same hometown and employment at Intersections International.

Police said Enright was arrested Tuesday night on charges including attempted murder as a hate crime.

He’s accused of slashing driver Ahmed H. Sharif with a hand tool after the driver said he was Muslim. said Deputy Inspector Kim Royster, a New York Police Department spokeswoman.

The driver was treated for cuts to the throat, upper lip, forearm and thumb, Royster said.

Chase said the situation was “tragic.”

“We’ve been working very hard to build bridges between folks from different religions and cultures. This is really shocking and sad for us,” Chase said Wednesday.

“If these allegations are true, we of course deplore this violence especially anything perpetrated against anyone simply because he or she is Muslim,” Chase said.

The 21-year-old Enright was expected to appear Wednesday in court in Manhattan.

The name of his lawyer was not immediately available.

Chase said Enright, a student at the School of Visual Arts, has been volunteering for the group for about a year on a project that involved veterans.

He did a video project that sent him to Afghanistan for about six weeks this spring to document the life of an average soldier, Chase said. He was embedded with a unit there.

The New York Taxi Workers Alliance identified the victim as Ahmed H. Sharif, a yellow cab driver for 15 years. In a news release, the labor group noted that the incident occurred amid tension over plans for a new Islamic cultural center and mosque in Lower Manhattan near ground zero.

“I feel very sad,” the release quoted Sharif as saying. In the current climate, he added, “All drivers should be more careful.”

Intersections has come out in support of the mosque project, but Chase said Enright wasn’t involved in that.

Police said the mosque wasn’t mentioned during the incident that began at about 6 p.m.

Tuesday when Enright hailed the cab at East 24th Street and Second Avenue.

Enright was carrying a tool called a Leatherman and, after the exchange about the driver being Muslim, turned it on him, police said.

The driver fended him off, then tried to lock him inside the cab and drive to a police station, they said.

The suspect jumped out a rear window at East 40th Street and Third Avenue, police said.

An officer there noticed the commotion, found Enright slumped on the sidewalk and arrested him.

A case for the tool was found inside the cab, but the tool itself was missing, police said.

David Bauder AP Television Writer NEW YORK — Fox News Channel chief White House correspondent Major Garrett said Wednesday he’s leaving the network after eight years to join the National Journal as a congressional correspondent.

Garrett, who worked at the Washington Times, U.S. News & World Report and CNN before joining Fox in 2002, said it was a return to his roots in print journalism.

“I’ve been seen, I’ve been heard,” he said. “I appreciate that. I just want to be read now.”

Fox named no replace-

ment, saying his duties will be taken up its other White House reporters, Wendell Goler and Mike Emanuel.

Garrett will leave Fox at the end of next week.

He’s leaving only a month after getting new real estate.

Fox was granted a coveted front-row seat in the White House briefing room after the resignation of Helen Thomas from Hearst News Service.

Garrett said Fox “promoted me every step of the way” and his visibility at the toprated news network helped him land the new job.

He called himself a “conscientious objector” last fall when his network and the Obama administration were

essentially at war following the administration’s accusation that Fox was a wing of the Republican Party.

Garrett, who landed an interview with Obama in November that signaled a thaw in the relationship, said the political controversy that often swirled around his network had nothing to do with his leaving.

“If you can’t swing it in this business you’ll be found out rapidly and you won’t survive,” he said.

“All I ever tried to do, whether I was at CNN or U.S. News or Fox, was to do the best reporting I can and let that speak for itself,” Garrett said.

Party school ranking not boastworthy

Own your inner geek

As you’ve probably heard, the University of Iowa is officially one of the top 10 party schools in the country.

Playboy has ranked the school as the 10th best school in the country to go crazy, while the Princeton review ranks it at No. 9.

Although determining a “party school” isn’t an exact science, there were some definite criteria these organizations used. Male-female ratio, volume of drug and alcohol use, and average daily study time per student were among the variables considered to determine the lucky schools.

However, this is not news to those familiar with the culture at the University of Iowa.

It’s pretty common knowledge that the bars next to the University of Iowa didn’t used to require a customer to be 21 for entrance and that the party scene there is extremely active.

One question being asked, though: “Should we be jealous?”

No. This dubious honor is something that we should be glad not to be granted.

Our school has a different culture about drinking, partying and life in general. Students here tend to be students first and partiers second.

We have a much more academic focus, we work harder and our reputation as a school shows it. Employers know ISU graduates are among the best.

Not to mention the problems that come along with a culture of serious partying.

There were numerous, well-publicized examples of students last year, and in the past, who died in accidents on nights they had been drinking, and the police blotter mentions at least one person hospitalized due to alcohol almost daily.

That doesn’t even cover drug use, one of the most frightening criteria for the party school surveys.

Is drug trafficking really something that needs to be increased on campus?

Is that what we want?

Even something that seems relatively harmless, like the male-female ratio, can be less than good for us. Iowa State is a predominantly male campus, whereas most of these party schools were heavily female.

The clear implication here is that it was much easier for the guys to hook up with the girls at will.

The Playboy survey was even completely overt, giving mention to “Fish-InA-Barrel” colleges.

The moral merits of wanton sex, hookups and drunken revelry are something for another time, but it should be noted that there are about 6,500 new STD cases per year reported in Iowa for people between ages 15 and 24, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The bottom line is that Iowa State should be proud of what it is, or more accurately, what it is not. There are plenty of opportunities on campus to party, but Iowa State’s priorities are in the right place.

T

here’s a strange attitude in America that causes members of a certain group to deny their identities due to fear of social rejection.

I have personally witnessed members of this group go to great lengths in order to conceal themselves.

They might tell parents they’ve been spending Fridays at the bars, convince a roommate they were looking at porn online all night, or even pretend not to know a member of their own community at a public encounter.

All lies.

As time progresses, people begin to wonder why these secretive individuals haven’t become romantically involved.

Concerned friends speculate about where these individuals slink off to for hours at a time. Sooner or later, the secret becomes the stigma.

That’s part of why I’m writing this article, to out myself in front of peers and professors: I am a geek. A massive geek.

I maintain a growing comic book collection. I contend that Picard was the superior officer.

I started playing “Magic: The Gathering” in 1996. I have a detailed plan for survival in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

And if I ever meet George Lucas, “Mesa shove a Jar Jar Binks doll sideways up his rectal cavity.”

I’m not surprising anyone who knows me with this declaration because I’ve never concealed my geekdom. However, it is cringe-inducingly obvious to me when I see someone else trying to conceal his or hers.

Pretending to not understand “Family Guy” references to Boba Fett, talking in hushed tones about gaming while at Perkins, suppressing your

rage when people rave about “Spider-Man 3” — don’t think it goes unnoticed; we can sense our own kind.

Let me spare you, my basement-dwelling brothers.

The world is welcoming. Come out into it freely. Perhaps you do not notice the abundance of other geeks because you are so busy trying to hide. Perhaps you never realized that among the highest-grossing films each year are several featuring costumed protagonists.

Perhaps you think you won’t get laid if people know you paint miniatures.

Of the five most prolific lotharios I’ve ever known, three are geeks living in the open.

Hell, one of them enjoyed wearing “Dragon Ball Z” boxers and shagging to “Harry Potter” films. None of them ever hid their interests from women.

And why would you? Chicks

are geeks too. And if they aren’t, then you’re armed with tons of jokes they’ve never heard from movies they’ve never seen. You know women always say they want someone who makes them laugh.

But I’m not here to get you a date. I just want you to admit you’re a geek. Yeah, bro, you are.

Maybe you haven’t recognized half of the name-drops in this article, but I’m willing to bet you possess enough enthusiasm about a certain subject to be embarrassed by it. It could be battles of the Civil War, it could be copious volumes of sports stats, but it’s something.

Being a geek takes passion, and as any director of adult films will tell you, there’s nothing wrong with passion.

The Joker publicly provoked Batman by saying, “I’ve taken off my makeup.” I submit the same provocation to you.

Equality

Defining marriage crucial

By Cameron.Leehey @iowastatedaily.com

U

.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker handed down a decision Aug. 4 that ruled California’s Proposition 8 unconstitutional.

In effect, the ruling not only allowed gay marriage in California, but used language that would almost certainly be the deathknell for any other laws on any level that restricted which sexes could marry. Although the case is still up for appeal, the decision is already being celebrated by gay marriage activists as a monumental civil rights victory; and it’s already being derided by gay marriage opponents as, well, the beginning of the end of civilization. Both sides think the other side is ignorant of reality.

What I think is revealing, and what I think is going to make this ruling very controversial for a very long time, is Walker’s actual arguments for his ruling. The decision copied almost word for word from the gay marriage activists’ playbook.

Marriage is considered a fundamental right, and any government’s attempts to regulate it are unconstitutional. This argument makes sense to most gay marriage activists, but makes very little sense to most gay marriage opponents. The difference between the two views actually has very little to do with gay marriage at all. It has to do with differing ideas concerning regular, old, dull heterosexual marriage.

Increasingly in our culture, marriage is seen as something of personal convenience.

People get married to someone who makes them happy; at least until that person stops making them happy. It’s a public show of affection, and having children is more of an afterthought.

The modern marriage is also far more temporary. With 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce, more often, marriage is seen as “a sort of friendship recognized by the police,” as Robert Louis Stevenson once said. This view of marriage is believed by many gay marriage activists, and if it is true, it is very hard to argue against gay marriage.

If marriage is simply a social construct that allows for public displays of affection, laws limiting this construct to a man and a woman are on very shaky ground. If marriage is simply a state construction for giving out certain benefits, then those laws are surely criminal.

However, gay marriage opponents see marriage as an altogether different animal.

They see marriage as not something imposed on human nature, but something that arises naturally from the complementary natures of male and female and perfects them. This view of marriage puts perma-

nent commitment and raising a family at the center of the institution. Because this view sees marriage as integrally connected to the nature of male and female, advocates of this view see gay marriage activists as not simply fighting against laws, but fighting

against reality itself.

These tremendous differences in what marriage is cause the current debate, in which opponents talk past each other and pander to their bases. We need to define marriage before we try to redefine it.

Technology

3-D movie effects still arousing viewers

By Brandon.Blue @iowastatedaily.com

T

hese days, everything is in 3-D. This summer saw such cinematic masterpieces as “Clash of the Titans,” “Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore” and “The Last Airbender;” that train shows no signs of slowing down. Next year, such Oscar-worthy titles as “Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked” will be shown in theaters around this great nation in eye-popping 3-D. As reported by the Telegraph, it seems three directors are working simultaneously around the globe to take 3-D film technology to the next level: the world’s first 3-D pornographic film.

In Hong Kong, director Christopher Sun is making “Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy,” to be released next year, while Italian filmmaker Tinto Brass is re-filming 1979’s “Caligula,” one of the few movies film critic Roger Ebert has ever walked out of. However, in the United States,

Hustler is working to churn out a spoof of James Cameron’s “Avatar”

by September.

That’s just next month. It looks like Hustler will produce the world’s first 3-D porn film, as Sun has projected his film to be released next May, and Brass has only begun filming this summer. We all expect the American one will be bigger and better, but quicker?

If that doesn’t arouse your interest, you should know that technically the world’s first 3-D porn film was actually made in 1969 and was titled “The Stewardesses.” It was made on a budget of just $100,000 and quickly became one of the most profitable films of all time until its infinitely sexier big sister “Avatar” came onto the scene.

Not only is it uncanny that “Avatar” upset “The Stewardesses’” claim as the most profitable film of all time, but even weirder is the fact that an entirely new technology was required to make “The Stewardesses,” just as it was for Avatar.

I can understand spending millions of dollars to make a new type of film for a sci-fi epic that scrapes the belly of the heavens in magnitude and profundity, but those crazy guys back in the 1960s, they created it for porn.

Without the advancements made on “The Stewardesses” by cinematographer and co-producer Chris Condon, the 1980s would never have brought us such joyful romps as “Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn” or “Jaws 3-D.” Seriously, YouTube that last movie; it’s terrifying.

Mankind has made some of the greatest special effects in the history of cinema and put them to good use: showing people shagging like animals and getting eaten by animals — wonderful.

And while the Telegraph quotes producer Stephen Shiu in claiming, “This is the future of the movie business — it’s human nature to want to see things in 3-D,” he’s only half right.

People just want to see porn, in 3-D.

Recent trends have turned Hollywood toward 3-D films, and the adult film industry is set to release their own films in the near future. Courtesy photo: Thinkstock

Video Games

Kinect may not connect with consumer

By Tim.Greene @iowastatedaily.com

M

icrosoft’s new motion-control device for the Xbox 360, Kinect — formerly Project Natal — is set to release Nov. 4, and you can get your hands on this new accessory for $149.99, but will you want to?

The outlook for core gamers is bleak.

Microsoft has released a list of 15 titles that will launch with the device, all of which seem gimmicky, and the majority of the games revolve around sports or fitness — which are, of course, every gamer’s favorite activities. It’s no surprise Kinect is part of Microsoft’s plan to steal some of the casual gaming market currently dominated by Nintendo’s Wii, but the lack of support for core gamers could hurt Kinect’s success.

Microsoft has recently admitted it is focusing on casual gamers during the launch of Kinect, and will address the core gaming audience later in 2011. “Child of Eden” — the

spiritual successor to the cult-hit rail shooter “Rez” — shows gamer-friendly titles are possible, but if Microsoft is not willing to focus on the core gaming audience during launch, how much support will it receive throughout the life of Kinect?

So, core gamers feel they aren’t receiving the attention they deserve; this is nothing new.

From complaints about the price of downloadable content to criticizing publishers and developers for pushing back release dates, gamers are always feeling cheated. But what if Kinect is not received well among the casual gaming audience during launch? Will Microsoft attempt to salvage the device after a poor launch?

Microsoft has been less than committed to its new video game projects. The online game show “1 vs. 100” was canceled after two seasons, and its digital arcade “Game Room” has received dwindling support since its launch.

Like Kinect, these projects appeared to have promise and a strong appeal to casual gamers.

The outlook for the adoption by the general community is also unclear. Unlike Sony’s upcoming motion-control package PlayStation Move, Kinect does not require remotes and uses motion and facial and voice recognition to make the user’s body the controller. However, the allure of controller-free games may not be strong enough for current Wii owners to shell out the money for a new console and pricey accessory. Additionally, Nintendo has already established itself as an organization dedicated to providing family-friendly content. Parents may not want to buy a console synonymous with foul-mouthed teenagers and games like “Gears of War.” This confusion about just who will buy Kinect is very similar to the launch of Apple’s iPad. The iPad was seen by many as a useless,

oversized iPhone. However, the iPad sold 1 million units twice as quickly as its smaller counterpart, according to a report by Wired.

Perhaps this pursuit of a new technology will drive the sales of the Kinect as well.

The concept of Kinect is certainly intriguing. This new technology will make accessing the content on your Xbox 360 easier than ever.

Facial recognition will allow you to sign into your account with a simple wave, voice commands can pause videos on Netflix or music on Last.fm, and anyone who has seen the movie “Minority Report” can understand the appeal of a device-free interface. Even though the future of the accessory is unclear and it is not directly targeted toward core gamers like me, this initial fascination with new technology might drive sales and interest until developers and publishers find ways to create new and interesting games and experiences with Kinect.

Victims’ families join supporters of new mosque

By Verena Dobnik The Associated Press NEW YORK — The planned mosque and Islamic center blocks from the World Trade Center site got a new boost Wednesday from a coalition of supporters that includes families of Sept. 11, 2001, victims.

New York Neighbors for American Values rallied for the first time at a municipal building near the World Trade Center site.

“I lost a 23-year-old son, a paramedic who gave his life saving Americans and their values,” Talat Hamdani said, and supporting the Islamic center and mosque “has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with standing up for our hu-

man rights, including freedom of religion.”

Among the nearly 2,800 people killed when the World Trade Center was attacked in 2001 were more than 30 Muslims, she noted.

Opponents of the Islamic center project argue it’s insensitive to the families and memories of Sept. 11 victims to build a mosque so close.

Supporters cite freedom of religion.

The new coalition was started by members of 40 civic and religious organizations that “spontaneously called each other, because we had the feeling that something very negative was happening,” said Susan Lerner, executive director of the New York office of the watchdog group Common

Cause.

The controversy was triggered by “irresponsible politicians” using it as an election issue, she said. Names mentioned at the rally included former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Republican, and the highest-ranking Democrat in the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Gingrich has suggested that building the mosque near the World Trade Center site is akin to putting a Nazi sign “next to the Holocaust Museum.” Reid has broken ranks with President Barack Obama by saying he thinks the mosque should be built elsewhere.

Coalition members are now contacting officials, asking them to support the proj-

ect as a reflection of religious freedom and diversity, and the rejection of “crude stereotypes meant to frighten and divide us.”

They plan a candlelight vigil on Sept. 10, the eve of the ninth Sept. 11 anniversary.

“This is not just about Muslims; this is about who we are as Americans,” said Lerner, adding that to oppose the Islamic center is “a slip-

pery slope. There will always be people who are offended standing next to people who are different from others.”

Rabbi Arthur Waskow, director of New York’s Shalom Center, said the project will show the world a form of Islam that espouses peace — not the Islam of the terrorists.

“It is right; it is wise to build it,” he told hundreds of people gathered under the arches

of Manhattan’s Municipal Building, a short walk from the World Trade Center site.

Several coalition members noted that the mosque site’s developer, Sharif elGamal, modeled it after the Jewish Community Center on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. It serves anyone who wishes to participate, they said, and so will the Muslim center.

Court

Blagojevich retrial Insurance regulators could be downsized approve slighter hike CHICAGO — His own legal funds spent, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich may have to make do with a discount, taxpayer-financed version of his offbeat defense at any retrial.

At a Thursday hearing — the first since jurors deadlocked on 23 of 24 charges last week — a judge could say how many attorneys he keeps now that his defense will be publicly funded. It could be as few as two, down from the half dozen he had the first time around.

His theatrical lead attorney, Sam Adam Jr., has indicated to colleagues he may even want to step aside, though whether he’ll be allowed to is up to the judge.

On Thursday, Judge James Zagel also may try to pick a date on his already full calendar to squeeze in another trial. One could start within months or not for a year or more.

Zagel told attorneys in a private meeting last week he worried that if the trial started soon, it could spill into the Christmas holidays — posing a hardship for jurors — so he may want to hold it off until at least January, Blagojevich attorney Sheldon Sorosky said.

Defense attorneys also could use Thursday’s hearing to begin filing a torrent of motions, maneuvers that could delay initial steps toward a new trial for weeks.

The thornier issue, though, is the future makeup of Blagojevich’s defense team.

The Democrat drew on nearly $3 million in a leftover campaign fund to pay his lawyers during the first trial. But two-and-half months of proceedings sucked those coffers dry.

Blagojevich had half a dozen attorneys at his first trial, but Zagel could rule the broke ex-governor will now get only two.

“That’s what the system says in these situations, ‘That’s all you’re going to get,’” said former federal prosecutor Phil Turner. “’Nobody else gets more than two, so why should you?’”

Turner said given the complexity of the case, which includes allegations Blagojevich schemed to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama’s former Senate seat, Zagel may have to consider perceptions Blagojevich would be in an unfair fight with

only two attorneys.

“The government has an army and, OK, this guy’s not a good guy,” he said. “But it provokes a sense of unease. The public loses confidence in the court system. This is a real conundrum.”

It’s not only an issue of Zagel forcing Blagojevich to cut lawyers. Adam and other attorneys may ask for permission to pull out, said Blagojevich attorney Sheldon Sorosky.

Adam’s office said Wednesday he was not available for comment.

The 38-year-old delivered a thunderous closing for Blagojevich — even reciting a joke about an old woman and a mule to help illustrate a point.

But after jurors announced their sole guilty verdict for lying to the FBI — prosecutors immediately vowing to try Blagojevich again on the 23 undecided counts — Adam seemed dejected. In a hallway afterward, the visibly exhausted attorney slumped against a wall, staring at the floor.

Sorosky insisted it wasn’t fatigue that has made Adam consider withdrawing.

“It’s just that I know that he honestly feels that Gov. Blagojevich needs a new lawyer or new approach for the second time around,” Sorosky said.

There’s a school of thought, he added, that defendants always should bring in new lawyers after a hung jury — partly because prosecutors know the tactics of the first set of lawyers.

Turner, for one, doesn’t buy that. He says employing the same lawyers has huge advantages, not least of which is that they know the details of the case inside and out.

Money also is a consideration. Attorneys working on taxpayers’ dime get a little more than $100 an hour. That may seem generous, but it’s less than a top defense attorney can make.

And the Blagojevich case is more all-consuming than most, said Turner, not just because of the amount of work but because of the stress and public scrutiny involved.

Even if defense lawyers ask Zagel to release them, he could refuse. He could argue new attorneys would take too long to prepare — pushing a trial date back more than a year.

But it’s unlikely Zagel would force a reluctant lawyer to stay on, Turner said.

“Just think of the issues you create,” he said.

Crime Man gets 3 years in prison for running cancer drug scam PHOENIX (AP) — A Canadian man was sentenced Wednesday to nearly three years in federal prison for selling fake cancer drugs over the Internet.

Federal prosecutors in Phoenix say 22-yearold Hazim Gaber, of Edmonton, Alberta, was given a 33-month prison term and ordered to pay a $75,000 fine and nearly $54,000 in restitution.

Gaber pleaded guilty to five counts of wire

LOS ANGELES — State regulators have accepted rate hikes on individual Anthem Blue Cross health insurance policies after public outrage and government scrutiny halted a larger increase.

The California Department of Insurance said Wednesday it approved a rate increase averaging about 14 percent for Anthem Blue Cross customers.

The department also approved a nearly 19 percent increase for Blue Shield of California.

Anthem, the state’s largest for-profit insurer, had previously requested a boost that would have raised rates as much as 39 percent for some customers, with average increases of about 25 percent.

But regulators found accounting errors in the proposal and Anthem retracted the filing, which would have affected about 700,000 individual policies regulated by the commissioner.

Another 100,000 individual policies are regulated by the state’s other insurance regulator, the Department of Managed Healthcare.

Anthem’s rate hike was repeatedly criticized by President Barack Obama as an example of a broken health care system in the runup to the vote on federal health care reform.

fraud in May. He was indicted in June 2009, arrested a month later in Germany and extradited to the U.S. Gaber set up websites to market the experimental cancer drug DCA to at least 68 patients in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands in 2007. Authorities say the product Gaber delivered was not DCA but a combination of starch, dextrin, dextrose or lactose.

The smaller increase announced Wednesday was expected to save consumers $184 million, Department of Insurance spokesman Ioannis Kazanis said.

Anthem spokeswoman Kristin Binns said in a written statement the company “is pleased that the department has posed no objections to our individual rate filings and we look forward to continuing to serve consumers in California.”

Anthem’s parent company is Indianapolisbased Wellpoint Inc. Nonprofit insurer Blue Shield of California’s rate hike will affect more than 247,000 policyholders.

Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access, a nonprofit advocacy group for consumers, said that state regulators require better control over the rate hike approval process.

Two bills currently being considered by the Legislature — AB2578 and SB1163 — would strengthen the authority of insurance regulators, he said.

“The fact that Anthem had to pull back and reduce their rate hike shows that public oversight can work, but we’re not going to have the presidential spotlight on every future rate increase,” Wright said.

Providers must give 30 days notice to policyholders before increasing rates.

Media Companies

Offering TV episodes for rental the day after premiering is unlikely

By Ryan Nakashima AP Business Writer LOS ANGELES — Apple Inc.’s iTunes store may have revolutionized the music business, but its recent push to let people rent TV shows for 99 cents won’t amount to a game changer for how people watch TV. The idea to offer episodes of hit shows for rental a day after their broadcast may be great for people with busy lifestyles, and it could help Apple sell more iPhones and iPads, but only a few of the major media companies support the plan.

That’s because they already make money from TV shows in a number of ways, and compared with those, the planned price of 99 cents is seen as a big cut, according to some people familiar with Apple’s proposal.

Media companies already sell episodes on iTunes, but currently for $1.99 or $2.99, and sometimes more than a day after the broadcast.

Because most people watch such shows just once, the cheaper rental model might end up cutting into revenue, rather than boosting it.

Also, media companies sell advertising, and coming out of the recession, prices have been going up for those 30-second commercial spots on TV. Allowing people to avoid those ads by paying 99 cents the next day doesn’t make sense if it means a smaller audience and smaller advertising revenue on the day of the broadcast.

Still, The Walt Disney Co.’s ABC and News Corp.’s Fox network are nearing a deal on such a rental plan, according to several people familiar with Apple’s proposal. That means shows such as “Modern Family” or “Glee” could soon be available the day after they air for less than the cost of buying a permanent download. Rentals would typically be available for 48 hours after the purchase.

The people familiar with the discussions spoke on condition of anonymity because no deal had been finalized. If a deal is cut soon, Apple could announce it at a media event next

Wednesday, though music appears to be the focus of that.

Offering a rental model would expand options for viewers. It’s now possible to watch many of the shows for free — with ads — on Hulu and the sites of broadcasters. But those shows are streamed and require an Internet connection while viewing. A rental model would give people the ability to download files to take with them on planes or other places; the files would automatically expire after the 48 hours.

Those who buy shows for children, or who tend to watch shows multiple times, would likely continue to buy them in various ways.

Media companies are experimenting with new ways of selling their content over the Internet but want to avoid jeopardizing existing business models. Those include the billions of dollars that cable TV providers, satellite TV companies and telecommunications firms pay to media companies to carry their channels.

Those so-called affiliate fees are a huge and growing source of revenue and have helped media companies withstand the ad downturn during the recession. Media companies are not about to turn their backs on Comcast Corp. or DirecTV Inc. by making content available elsewhere for less than it would cost for a monthly subscription.

Time Warner Inc. is even trying to make it more worthwhile to continue paying your monthly cable bill by offering its TV shows for free online — as long as you’re a paying subscriber. Its “HBO Go” service also allows online viewing of HBO programming for free with a subscription.

While talks continue between Apple and all the major content companies, CBS Corp. and Time Warner are definitely not taking part in the rental plan as it is currently structured, according to the people familiar with the talks.

There are still plenty of ways to catch shows, though. You can check the channel’s websites or simply record them on digital video recorders. Or, like the old days, you can just sit on your couch and watch the shows when they come on.

Murder

NY man surrenders McCray turns self in, claims own innocence

The Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. — A man who had been sought by police in a sidewalk shooting that killed four people including a Texas man celebrating his wedding anniversary turned himself in Wednesday and was

charged with murder.

Riccardo McCray was charged with four counts of second-degree murder in the shooting outside a downtown restaurant, Mayor Byron Brown said in a news release.

He was expected to be arraigned Thursday.

McCray, 23, surrendered Wednesday at a television studio.

Jackson said he persuaded McCray to turn himself in at the WIVB studio rather than

run from police.

Jackson said McCray told him he didn’t kill anyone and didn’t know why police were looking for him.

“He said he was innocent,” Jackson told The Buffalo News newspaper.

McCray’s lawyer, Terrence McKelvey, didn’t immediately return phone calls seeking comment Wednesday.

A crowd filled the sidewalk outside the City Grill at 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 14 when a gunman

opened fire, killing a Texas man celebrating his first wedding anniversary and three other people.

Killed were Danyell Mackin, 30; Tiffany Wilhite, 32; Shawntia McNeil, 27; and Willie McCaa, 26.

Three survivors have been released from hospitals; another remains in critical condition.

In May 2009, McCray was arrested on charges of having a loaded rifle in his car.

Judge won’t move trial from Austin

By Kelley Shannon The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The Empire State Building’s owner has lost his bid to stop a new skyscraper from rising in the neighborhood.

The New York City Council approved zoning and land use changes Wednesday that pave the way for a new 67-story tower two blocks west of the 102-story Empire State landmark.

The Empire State Building’s owner tried to persuade lawmakers to reject the project. Anthony Malkin says the 1,190foot glass office tower will ruin the view and alter the skyline.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg and council members who backed the plan dismissed those complaints and said the city should welcome new investments.

AUSTIN, Texas — Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay returned to court Wednesday on a mission to move his money laundering trial out of Austin — a place he calls a liberal bastion where he alleges a rogue prosecutor crusaded against him.

A Republican pollster who tested public opinion on DeLay as recently as this week testified that a large percentage of those polled in Travis County know who

DeLay is and have a negative impression of him. Pollster Marc DelSignore also said a big chunk of voters questioned believe DeLay is guilty of a crime.

“I think the poll is very accurate, so that’s why we’re so concerned,” said DeLay’s attorney, Dick DeGuerin. “All we want is a fair trial, and we want a trial from jurors who aren’t affected by the unrelenting bad publicity about Tom DeLay here in Travis County.”

The former majority leader was indicted in 2005 on charges that he illegally sent $190,000 in corporate money through the

Republican National Committee to help elect GOP Texas legislative candidates in 2002. He says he has done nothing wrong and that a trial will prove it.

DeLay is asking that the trial be moved to his conservative home county, Fort Bend. Prosecutors insist DeLay can get a fair trial in Travis County and that the county is not as anti-Republican as DeLay and his lawyers claim.

Senior Judge Pat Priest has said DeLay would be tried before his co-defendants, John Colyandro and Jim Ellis, who now face lesser charges.

Marines fault Navy in Calif. crash that killed 9

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Marine Corps is blaming a Navy air traffic controller for not preventing the collision of a Coast Guard plane and a Marine helicopter that killed nine people off the Southern California coast last year.

The Marine Corps says in a report released Wednesday that the controller’s failure to alert the pilots of each other’s presence directly contributed to the October crash.

Kirtley was part of a team that conducted groundbreaking research on diabetes drugs.

Cupcake truck conďŹ scated City said truck operator didn’t have permit

Man charged for online stalking

By Joe Mandak The Associated Press

By Patrick Walters The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — A kerfuffle over cupcakes in the City of Brotherly Love has dessert lovers sour on Philadelphia’s confusing business regulations.

The Department of Licenses and Inspections seized a converted mail truck on Tuesday that’s used by a woman known as “the cupcake lady,� who roves the city selling 400-500 cupcakes a day.

The city says she did not have a proper permit to be running her small vending operation in the University City neighborhood, near the University of Pennsylvania.

But the cupcake lady, Kate Carrara, a 35-year-old former lawyer, says the rules are just too confusing. “It’s just the laws,� said Carrara, who paid $200 to get her truck out of the lot and was

back selling cupcakes at a plaza near City Hall on Wednesday.

Five days a week, she sell cupcakes downtown or nearby. She said she’s tried to make sure she either has a permit or is outside of the zones where

permits are needed.

But when she showed up in University City on Tuesday, Carrara said, city officials with badges were waiting for her.

She thought she was just outside the zone where a permit

was required, but the inspectors told her they had received complaints and that she wasn’t allowed to operate there. They went through her cake-ďŹ lled truck and promptly drove it to a lot.

PITTSBURGH — An Indiana man created a Facebook page in the name of an ex-girlfriend he raped in Ohio, then used it to stalk a more recent ex in Pennsylvania and threaten to distribute a secretly ďŹ lmed video of them having sex if she didn’t return to him, police said.

Travis Allen Davis, 23, of New Castle, Ind., has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer has said he intends to prove his innocence.

Davis was arrested Aug. 15 outside the second exgirlfriend’s home in Delmont, about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh. He had a .45-caliber pistol, three magazines of bullets and a box cutter, and the car had a stolen Pennsylvania license plate taped over the Indiana plate on his car, police said.

Davis had created a Facebook proďŹ le in the name of another ex-girlfriend, a woman he had raped in Ohio, and used it to contact the Pennsylvania woman and her current boyfriend’s family, police said.

A week before his arrest, police contend Davis sent the Pennsylvania woman a video of him having sex with her when both still lived in Indiana. The woman “never knew that this video was ďŹ lmed in the ďŹ rst place and obviously never gave consent to send the video to anyone,â€? a criminal complaint said.

Davis threatened in an e-mail to “send the video to everyone if she did not return to Indiana for him,� a criminal complaint said.

Davis is charged with stalking, transmitting obscene images, loitering, criminal coercion, carrying an unlicensed ďŹ rearm and other crimes.

Insurgency

Disease

Strikes occurred after US troops numbers dwindle

Nigeria: Cholera epidemic death toll rises to 325

Attacks kill 55 across Iraq

By Sameer N. Yacoub The Associated Press

By Bashira Adigun The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Bombers and gunmen killed 55 Iraqis in two dozen attacks spanning the country Wednesday, mostly targeting security forces in seemingly coordinated strikes the day after the number of U.S. troops fell below 50,000 for the first time since the start of the war.

Insurgents have been stepping up their attacks on Iraq’s security forces in recent months as the U.S. has trimmed its military presence in the country. At least half of those killed — 31 — were Iraqi soldiers and policemen.

There were no claims of responsibility for the spate of attacks. But their scale and reach, from one end of the country to the other, underscored insurgent efforts to prove their might against security forces and political leaders.

The deadliest attack came in Kut, where a suicide bomber

blew up a car inside a security barrier between a police station and the provincial government’s headquarters. Police and hospital officials said 19 people were killed, 15 of them policemen. An estimated 90 people were wounded.

“I rushed to the scene to help evacuate the people, and saw body parts and hands scattered on the ground and dead

bodies of policemen,” said government employee Yahya al-Shimari.

A similar attack struck a neighborhood in north Baghdad, where a suicide bomber detonated a car bomb in a parking lot behind a police station.

Fifteen people were killed in the blast, including six policemen. Officials said another

58 were wounded.

Five others, including an Iraqi soldier and a police officer, were killed in small bursts of violence in Baghdad.

A senior Iraqi intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, said the Baghdad suicide bombing bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida.

ABUJA, Nigeria — All of Nigeria is at risk in a cholera epidemic that has killed 352 people in only three-months time, health officials warned Wednesday, as the country’s rainy season continues to spread the water-born infection.

The nation’s Health Ministry issued a statement saying Nigeria has had more than 6,400 cases of the disease since June. Doctors now have detected it in 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states.

“Epidemiological evidence indicates that the entire country is at risk,” the statement read.

Cholera is a fast-moving infection that causes diarrhea, leading to severe dehydration and possible death. The infection is highly contagious yet easily preventable with clean water and sanitation.

The health ministry blamed the recent outbreak on heavy seasonal rains spreading the infection across rural communities without access to proper toilet facilities. In many areas, wells remain uncovered, allowing tainted water to flow into the communities’ drinking water supplies.

The Nigerian cases comes as an outbreak in neighboring Cameroon has killed 155 people out of 2,000 confirmed cases.

Meanwhile, the health ministry says a measles outbreak in four states has killed 83 and sickened more than 5,000 so far this year. Measles is usually characterized by coughing, rash and high fever, and is fatal in rare instances.

The outbreak comes after the World Health Organization warned in May that measles is making a rapid comeback in the world, as funding cuts for vaccination campaigns have allowed the disease to spread.

Bustling out of the bus and through the entrance, the girls walked right over the “Zodiac,” one by one.

“Oh, s---, I just walked over the ‘Zodiac,’” the last girl said. “If you walk

over it, you fail your next test.”

The Great Hall was absolute pandemonium. Somewhere between 3,500 and 4,000 students attended WelcomeFest. Soon enough, the students were in and feasting on the free food and information provided by the 98 vendors inside.

“They’re giving out free condoms!” one freshman boy said excit-

edly about Thielen Student Health Center’s booth.

Papa John’s gave away 300 slices of pizza within the first half hour. Old Chicago’s pepperoni rolls went equally fast.

At Qdoba Mexican Grill’s booth, students could spin a wheel for chips and queso. Coldstone Creamery found their cake batter ice cream was

a crowd favorite.

The Entrepreneur Club provided a photo booth with free prints, and Leedz Salon clipped festive Cyclonecolored hair extensions into girls’ hair.

“It’s awesome,” said Kait Mueller, sophomore in child, adult and family services. “There’s free s--- everywhere.”

At the Iowa State Daily booth, students who won at bean bag tossing received free “Just Sayin’” shirts.

As a group of freshman exited the Memorial Union, arms weighed down with merchandise, they each walked mindfully around the “Zodiac” and out the front doors. Slowly but surely, they are becoming part of the ISU and Ames community.

Music Department

Professor’s play to inspire students with faculty music

By Allison.Suesse iowastatedaily.com

Professors in the music department are still performers at heart.

Seven music department professors will take the stage Sunday, Aug. 29 to showcase their talent at the fourth annual Fanfare Concert.

The concert, as defined by Jonathan Sturm, associate professor of music, is a “big musical flourish” intended to welcome students to the beginning of a new school year.

The music department faculty hopes their performances will inspire students to continue pursuing music as they showcase their high-level of artistry.

These high-caliber performances are a result of the professors’ continuous practice and dedication to their art, said Michael Golemo, professor and music department chairman.

Sturm has been practicing violin for more than 40 years to reach the level of excellence he will showcase. He asserted that continuous practice has gotten him to his current performance level and hopes to inspire students to do the same.

Sturm chose to perform two classical violin pieces: “Perpetuum Mobile” by Novacek, which is “showy and fast,” and “Legende” by Wieniawski, which is “slower and romantic.” He began practicing the two pieces, each lasting less than two minutes, weeks in advance. He chose the two difficult pieces because he knew students would like them and find them inspiring.

Sturm said he became a teacher to inspire.

Though they are teachers, the seven faculty performers consider themselves first and foremost performers.

As a performer dedicated to teaching students about music, Matthew Coley, lecturer in percussion, said he thinks it’s crucial that a teacher practices what they preach.

He said he wished he could have heard his professors perform more when he was a student.

“I enjoy performing because that’s how I learned at their age,” Coley said.

Coley will be performing a marimba and flute duet with colleague Sonja Giles,

assistant professor of music and theatre.

They chose this piece because they felt it fit the upbeat fanfare theme.

“We wanted something upbeat with fun sounds to get things kicked off,” Coley said.

Coley will also perform the finale with three of his percussion students. The piece, Coley said, is exciting and fast.

When first-year music students see their professors perform, “they come away saying ‘holy cow,’” Golemo said.

“We’re proud of our faculty,” he said.

The concert will be from 3 to 4:45 p.m., Sunday at Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall, Music Hall. Admission is free.

Club teaches students ballroom dance moves

By Julia.Ferrell iowastatedaily.com There are plenty of ways to stay active on campus, but the ISU Ballroom Dance Club gives students of all experience levels the chance to meet other dancers and learn a new move or two.

The club offers Tuesday and Friday evening classes for both students and nonstudents, and each lesson is taught by experienced instructors and skilled dancers.

Beginning Sept. 10 classes will be held in the Forker Building. Lessons will be in studio 213 on Tuesdays, and in studio 196 on Fridays.

The ISU Ballroom Dance Club has beginner, intermediate and advanced levels of dances such as swing, waltz, tango, foxtrot and several Latin dances such as salsa and rumba.

Classes are comprehensive, so regular attendance is required. Students are allowed to register up to two weeks after lessons start, but no later.

For beginners, the first lesson is free and members of the class have the opportunity to earn more free lessons by participating in the Perfect Practice Program.

The program enables beginning dancers to earn $20 in credit toward future ballroom classes.

The only requirement is new dancers must attend nine of the ISU Ballroom

Dance Club’s Friday night socials.

The Friday night socials are free to all dancers, and are held every week from 7:30 to 9:45 p.m. Dancers practice swing and foxtrot to the music of a modern big band and get the opportunity to meet other dancers in the program.

Dress is casual, but indoortype shoes or socks are required on the studio floor.

The club also hosts occasional “Xtra Moves Nights” on select Friday nights. The lessons are free for all levels, and students will have the opportunity to learn a few tips from guest professional dancers.

Dancers Dan and Amy Divine will kick off the club’s first night of practice Sept. 10 with their tango lessons, beginning at 8:30 p.m.

Music

Seattle-based singer to perform Friday at Ames auditorium Brandi Carlile will be performing Friday, Aug. 27 at Ames City Auditorium as part of her tour to promote her new album “Give Up the Ghost.”

Ames will be the next stop in her tour that will cover most of the United States.

The main theme of her album “Give Up the Ghost” is the idea of passing through the stages of life and death. Carlile hopes to “let her guard down” and give her listeners a stripped-down and more personal angle to her music.

“To give up the ghost is not just to die ... It’s a sort of leaving yourself behind,” Carlile said in her blog. “Or what you knew yourself to be so that you can grow and transcend love or youth.

Sometimes both.”

Carlile is a Seattle-based singer-songwriter who found her way onto the mainstream music scene in 2005 with her self-titled album, and found most of her success with her sophomore album, “The Story,” in 2007. Her most recent album allowed her to take advantage of her previous success and work with musicians Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Elton John.

“It’s been a totally unique experience for us.

As some of you know, we recorded ‘The Story’ in under two weeks, whereas this record took more

than a year. They say that it takes you your whole life to write your first record and then you have to write your second in a matter of months,” Carlile said in her blog.

“Give Up the Ghost” was released in October 2009 and contains the song “Caroline,” which she recorded with fivetime Grammy award winning singer-songwriter Elton John, Carlile who is the primary inspiration in her music. The album has enjoyed mainstream popularity from the single “Dreams” that was released from the album in February 2010. Carlile has also been featured in the TV shows “The Deep End” and “Grey’s Anatomy” with her songs “Oh Dear” and “Before it Breaks” from the same album.

Student appeals court ruling BOSTON — A Boston University graduate student is appealing a federal judgment that required him to pay $67,500 in damages for illegally downloading and sharing songs online.

A Harvard law professor has filed the notice to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the

1st Circuit, seeking to overturn the penalty against Joel Tenenbaum.

Tenenbaum was sued by music companies who said he violated copyright rules. He admitted downloading songs between 1999 and 2007.

The jury found Tenenbaum liable and assessed a $675,000

damage award last year.

Last month, a judge said the amount was “unconstitutionally excessive” and trimmed it to 10 percent of the original amount.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs have filed an appeal of that decision.

Grateful Dead members book show at Stephens with new band Furthur Ames Deadheads unite.

Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh and guitarist Bob Weir will make their way to Stephens Auditorium in November as part of a nine-city tour with their new band Furthur.

Tickets for the Nov. 9 show went on sale Aug. 20 through Ticketmaster.

Formed in San Francisco in 1965, the Grateful Dead, known for lengthy jams and their association with the Haight-Ashbury district and its psychadelic drug culture, became one of the biggest live acts of all time.

The Grateful Dead never had great commercial success with their studio albums, but became well-known for their psychedelic and improvisational live shows that they allowed

audience members to tape.

Eventually, a community formed around the band, affectionately called Deadheads, that followed the band from show to show.

After the death of lead guitarist Jerry Garcia in 1995, Lesh and Weir remained on the jam band scene playing as The Dead and forming their own acts, Phil Lesh and Friends and RatDog. In 2009, Weir and Lesh formed Furthur with Dark Star Orchestra guitarist John Kadlecik, RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and drummer Joe Russo from Benevento/Russo Duo. Sunshine Becker and Jeff Pehrson will join the group on vocals.

The Museum, widely known as the first building on campus, will host festivities, including music and food from the Victorian era as well as a display on the history of the house.

Iowa State’s first president lived in Farm House.

Located just east of Central Campus, the Farm House Museum has been a home to many important figures in the university’s history.

The national historic landmark became a museum in 1976, after Farm House was restored to its original state.

As a result of the recent flood damage to the Scheman Building, the Brunnier Art Museum will remain closed until further notice, according to a news release from University Museums.

The “Relationships: Drawn, Analog to Digital” exhibition reception scheduled for Sept. 2 has been postponed,

along with four other exhibits originally scheduled to open.

The building has not yet restored power, and no date has been determined when the Scheman Building will be fully operational. University Museum offices have been temporarily relocated to the Christian Petersen Art Museum in Morrill Hall.

No damage to University Museums’ collection was reported. However, some exhibition supplies stored on the ground level were lost in the flood.

Cyclones’ roster goes for ‘roller coaster ride’ This year’s squad looks to veteran leadership, incoming recruit talent

By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com A cursory glance at the ISU basketball roster from 2009 to 2010 and 2010 to 2011 will reveal a drastic shuffling of names.

Basically, this season’s edition of the Cyclones, who began individual workouts Wednesday, Aug. 25, will look nothing like the Greg McDermott-Craig Brackins fronted duo of the past two seasons.

Fred Hoiberg’s return to Ames dominated off-season talk for the basketball program.

Players departing and arriving like the Sukup Basketball Facility was O’Hare International were a back story.

But workouts have begun, the roster is set, save for Minnesota-transfer Royce White and the names will be sewn on jerseys sooner than the floor in Hilton is recovered.

“It’s been a roller coaster ride. Starting with getting the job, and the next week they’re talking about conference realignment. Then we had the floods hit. It’s been busy, but it’s been great,” Hoiberg said.

“I think we’re building this program the

Flooding

right way, and I’m really excited about our year, and I’m really excited about 2011.”

There are fewer returning players than transfers that have to sit a year to be eligible.

Guards Diante Garrett and Scott Christopherson will return to the lineup for the Cyclones, entering their senior seasons, with Garrett the only holdover in the entire program from 2007. Jamie Vanderbeken, a former transfer will also play his last season in Ames after being sidelined last year with a foot injury.

Coach Hoiberg will need the leadership these players can provide to succeed with so many fresh faces, and the tenured

The veteran volleyball Cyclones will have to work harder this year.

Not only to reach their goals of Big 12 and NCAA Championships, but also to keep at bay the competition of three new freshmen ranked as the No. 16 recruiting class in the country.

“We do have a pretty veteran team and a lot of returning starters, but we have a lot of young talent” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch.

“There’s competition at every position like there’s never been since I’ve been here.”

One new competitor is Tenisha Matlock, who comes to Iowa State from North Platte, Neb. She is a 6-foot-2-inch middle blocker and right side hitter who was a three-year letterwinner in high school and a firstteam all-state performer as a senior.

Now, after only three weeks of practice with the Cyclones, she has already drawn the attention of older teammates. “[Matlock] is just so athletic,” said senior Victoria Henson.

“They had her on the right side, in the middle and hitting on the outside. So for her to come in as a freshman and take on the kind of role where she’s playing three different positions, it’s crazy.”

Matlock appreciates her new teammates for their downto-earth attitudes, and she likes the faster pace of collegiate play.

“What I love about volleyball is that I can get my aggression out on the court instead of any other way,” Matlock said.

Matlock’s height is thrown into sharp contrast when compared to her 5-foot-6-inch teammate Kristen Hahn, but what Hahn lacks in height, she makes up for in talent.

As a three-year letterwinner at Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids, Hahn was also named a PrepVolleyball.com high school All-American. She is a defensive specialist and libero.

Hahn came to Iowa State not only because she feels it suits her personality, but also because of the coaching staff.

“The coaches really, really know what they’re talking about,” Hahn said.

“We don’t get punished for making a really bad pass, we don’t have to run, but in competition they expect things out of you. In practice you’re expected to give a certain amount of effort, verses in high school where you’re allowed to slack off a little.”

Hahn said it is different coming to Iowa State from high school because of the level of talent the Cyclones have.

“It’s kind of weird because, coming from high school, I’m used to playing on the number one side,” Hahn said. “Here we’re coming in as freshmen now, and we’re playing against

Intramural area damages nearly recovered from

Cyclones add depth to offense

Only one event cancelled due to water

By Laura.Eisenman iowastatedaily.com It’s been barely more than two weeks since the Flood of 2010, and the Ames community is looking to make a full recovery.

But, substantial damage to the sand volleyball courts, softball fields and disc golf courses left students worried about the upcoming intramural season.

However, of the intramural events scheduled for this fall, only the Labor Day sand volleyball tournament will be canceled due to flood damage.

Garry Greenlee, associate director of ISU Recreation Services, explained the severe damage to the volleyball courts just east of Jack Trice Stadium: The level of repair needed was beyond Iowa State’s ability.

In the days to come, Cotton, a company specializing in disaster repair and recovery, will remove the two feet of con-

taminated sand from the volleyball courts and deliver new sand.

Workers will replace contaminated soil on the neighboring softball fields with new soil that won’t be infested with floodwater bacteria.

“There’s really not enough good to say about Cotton [and all its help],” Greenlee said.

Ultimate Frisbee is set to take place on the fields next to Maple-Willow-Larch, although the date has been moved back one week.

Water sat near MapleWillow-Larch for an extended period of time, and new grass has yet to start growing.

Greenlee said if progress isn’t made within a week, turf specialists will be called in.

The rest of the intramural season will go on as planned.

The disc golf course reopened Wednesday, Aug. 25,

Winning a bowl game to cap off last season is no reason for the Cyclones to rest on their laurels.

The Cyclones return even deeper at the running back position, led by senior Alexander Robinson and receivers primed to make a big impact in 2010.

Alexander Robinson was the second leading rusher in the Big 12 last season, behind only Kansas State’s Daniel Thomas. Robinson rushed for 1,195 yards on 232 carries.

Robinson is entering his senior campaign with more focus and a new routine that adds to his already strenuous workout regiment.

“I actually have a ‘yoga for beginners’ DVD,” Robinson said.

“I just threw it in my DVD player and tried to do the stretches and poses with them.”

Robinson got the DVD from his parents and has been doing yoga for about a month, and he said he is doing it to help prevent and cut down on the injuries like those he suffered last season.

NFL owners eager to move to 18 games ule — and keep four preseason games for each team — under the current labor agreement with the players. But that contract expires after this season, and it’s clear the expanded schedule will be a central issue in talks on a new collective bargaining agreement.

The owners would like to keep the season at 20 weeks, reducing the number of preseason games from four to two. “We want to do it the right way for everyone, including the players, the fans and the game in general,� Goodell said. “There’s a tremendous amount of momentum for it.

We think it’s the right step.�

The owners held off on voting on a speciďŹ c proposal that could be presented to the players union. Among the issues that still must be resolved: when to start the expanded regular season, possible roster expansion to cope with more games, and changes in training camp and offseason routines to come up with ways for evaluating younger players who wouldn’t have as many preseason games to make an impression. “We want to continue to address a variety of issues before putting together a speciďŹ c proposal, which our negotiating team will provide to the union’s negotiating team,â€?

Goodell said. “There’s tremendous support for it. Almost all the questions, all the discussions, are how to do it in a way that’s fan friendly.�

Around the NFL, however, many players questioned the wisdom of making an already grueling season even longer. At the very least, they want more money — and several proposed changes in the rules governing injured players, or adding an extra bye week to deal with the grind.

By Paul Newberry AP Sports Writer ATLANTA — NFL owners are eager to increase the regular season from 16 to 18 games.

The players aren’t so sure.

During a ďŹ ve-hour meeting at a posh hotel in downtown Atlanta, the push to add two more games to the regular season picked up steam Wednesday — at least among those who sign the checks. “I think it’s a win-win all around,â€? said Bob Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots.

The owners also unanimously approved Stan Kroenke’s proposal to purchase majority ownership of the St. Louis Rams, assuming he turns over control of two other teams he owns — the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche — to his son.

Kroenke owns 40 percent of the downtrodden Rams and exercised his right to purchase the rest of the team from the Rosenbloom family for a reported $750 million. “Obviously, all of us know and respect Stan,â€? commissioner Roger Goodell said. “He’s been a terriďŹ c owner in the NFL and we’re conďŹ dent he will continue to be a great owner.â€?

Kroenke must turn over operational and ďŹ nancial control of the Nuggets and Avalanche to his 30-year-old son, Josh, by the end of the year. He must give up his majority stake in the teams by December 2014 to meet NFL rules against cross-ownership of franchises in other NFL cities.

But talks on the expanded season dominated most of the meeting.

Goodell pointed out that the league already has the right to impose an 18-game sched-

Cyclones are happy to provide. “I had to sit back and soak it all in, because I had another year left, a new coach coming in and he’s going to be a great coach, ‘The Mayor’ of the city,� Garrett said, joking. “But we also got new players, different types of players than I had in the past, it should be real fun.�

Ames High graduate Bubu Palo redshirted last year, but will likely be a necessary body for the Cyclones this season. Coming from nearby Marshalltown Community College is DeMarcus Phillips, a 6-foot-2-inch combo guard who averaged 16 points per contest 30 miles to the east.

Four true freshmen have been welcomed to the fold quickly and will have to learn on the y as they complete the roster and will likely see plenty of playing time in the competitive Big 12.

Hoiberg plans on having the entire team on the y, wanting a running basketball team that keeps running to put the ball in the hole. “They’re working hard. We’re asking a lot of them, because we want to be a running team, so these guys are going to have to get in shape,â€? Hoiberg said.

The abundance of transfers will give Iowa State a talented practice squad and a good reason to look forward to 2011. “We’ve got a pretty darn good scout team, and we don’t know about Royce yet. [Newly added] John Lamb is a spot up shooter, that’s going to be a pretty good group our starters are going up against every day,� Hoiberg said.

Three former Big Ten players have joined Hoiberg’s group and will wait to play for the cardinal and gold in an effort at professional basketball dreams and improving their games in a complex built in an old cornďŹ eld. “I just saw that potential and opportunity were there. Coach Hoiberg has great plans for me and my teammates and where he wants to take the program,â€? former Penn State guard Chris Babb said post-workout. “He gave me a chance, like I’m giving him a chance, and I think we signed some other great transfers and the others guys with my year should make a great year.â€?

A major signing that preserved the continuity of the program occurred off the court as well, with associate head coach and top recruiter T.J. Otzelberger sticking around Ames after his boss McDermott and several players departed.

“There was a little uncertainty there, but as things kind of shifted, Iowa State is where I wanted to be,� Otzelberger said. “Fred’s done an unbelievable job taking over the reins of this program and leading us forward in a very positive direction.�

Former Minnesota forward Royce White, rated No. 19 on Rivals.com scouting report when he graduated from Hopkins High School in Minneapolis, is still a question mark for the otherwise locked-in Cyclones.

The program ďŹ led paperwork to the NCAA to get White on the oor in 2010, but Hoiberg said it would still be several weeks before the team found out his status.

>>FOOTBALL.p7B “It hasn’t really been contact injuries,� Robinson said. “It has been more freak injuries that I’ve had.�

Robinson is expecting to get between 15 and 20 carries per game this season, and likes coach Paul Rhoads’ spread offense. “It allows you to see your holes a lot quicker, and it spreads the defense out and makes the defense cover the receivers as well, so the holes are a lot bigger,â€? Robinson said. “I think it’s a good ďŹ t for myself and the other running backs because it kind of expands your vision for you.â€?

Running backs coach Kenith Pope has been impressed by Robinson’s performance throughout the team’s off-season practices and workout sessions, and senses Robinson’s comfort level with the offense, this being his second year in the system.

Robinson is coming off an impressive season, and Pope wouldn’t be surprised to see him have another highly productive year if he can stay healthy.

Robinson’s mental preparation is going to be beneďŹ cial for the Cyclones as they take on arguably one of the nation’s toughest schedules. “He’s a student of the game, and he’s always trying to ďŹ nd a way to make himself a better football player,â€? Pope said. “He wants to please you.

He’s trying to do everything right every time, and that’s why a year ago he played so well: because he did a good job of making himself a better football player each week, and if he continues to do that for us, he will have another outstanding year for us.�

Pope stressed Robinson has attributes that set him apart from some of the other running backs in the Big 12, including the fact that he thinks about more than just the running game and wants to know the entire offensive game plan.

However, the biggest attribute that sets Robinson apart is his knowledge of the game through extra preparation.

Although the team technically has Mondays off, Robinson isn’t one to recline at home all day. “He’ll come in on Monday and look at ďŹ lm and try to get an advantage for us,â€? Pope said. “He’ll try to get an idea of what the blitz package is going to look like. That’s the type of guy he is, and he’s always going to do a good job of taking care of himself physically. He does all the little things right, and that’s what you like in A-Rob. You know what you’re going to get every day he comes to practice.â€?

Robinson is not the lone threat for the backďŹ eld, as freshman Jeff Woody earned a scholarship on the practice ďŹ eld.

Rhoads described Woody

Thursday, August 26, 2010 | Iowa State Daily | SPORTS | 9B

“

“[Jeff Woody] runs hard, he knows his style and he doesn’t try to be something he’s not.� — ISU football coach Paul Rhoads

as extremely consistent, and a guy who comes to work every day and does a good job of knowing his assignments and doesn’t try to do too much. “He runs hard, he knows his style and he doesn’t try to be something he’s not,� Rhoads said. “He plays about three positions on our offense and he’s a special teams contributor.

He’s actually farther ahead as an offensive player than he is as a special teams player, and that’s where the scholarship has been earned.�

Sophomore Beau Blankenship and freshman James White are also candidates to get carries in the Cyclones’ backďŹ eld this season. “It’s very heated,â€? said assistant coach Tom Herman. “Jeff Woody, as of two days ago, is on scholarship. So that’s incredible for Jeff, with all the programs that passed him up and now he’s getting a preferred walk on just because of how he works. With James White, Shontrelle Johnson, Duran Hollis and Bo Williams, there’s a lot of guys who we can give the pill to and expect good things.â€?

When the Cyclones decide to go to the air, they have an

improved Austen Arnaud, who returns with receivers who can produce points and make big plays through the air.

Senior Jake Williams, along with juniors Darius Darks and Sedrick Johnson, lead the Cyclones receiving crew that will try to improve on their ninth-ranked pass offense in the Big 12 last season.

Williams had 403 receiving yards last year with ďŹ ve touchdowns.

Darks ended the season with 261 yards and three touchdowns. “These are the least selfish receivers that I’ve been around,â€? Herman said. “I’ve been around some guys that want the ball all the time; and rightfully so. They’re receivers. They want the ball and they want to make plays. These guys know their role, and they know they’re starting to get to a point where they know what I’m looking at as a defense.“ The coaches had seen the receivers go through a spell of dropping balls that should have been routine catches during off-season practices, but are conďŹ dent that that is starting to improve as the season approaches. “It’s continually gotten better,â€? Rhoads said. “I don’t know

if it was nerves, if it was timing, if it was the fact that we were going live for the very ďŹ rst time for an extended period of time that ďŹ rst scrimmage, but we had seen them in practice and knew what they were capable of, and we came out and kind of laid an egg in that ďŹ rst scrimmage. From that point on, they’ve steadily come up and made big plays for us.â€?

Rhoads stressed that the receivers making plays allows the quarterback’s conďŹ dence in his receivers to rise.

Even when they are in a jam, the quarterback will have conďŹ dence in the receivers to make the play.

Johnson struggled with injuries last season, and the improvement coaches have seen in him now that he’s healthy has them excited for the upcoming season, and they wouldn’t be surprised to see him do big things for the offense. “He’s a lot better,â€? Herman said. “He’s a lot better at adjusting to plays, he’s catching the ball a lot better and he’s playing with a lot more conďŹ dence.

He knows what he’s doing, he’s running faster routes, he’s competing. He’s a lot better than last year.�

>>VOLLEYBALL.p7B

Students play in the floodwaters at the Southeast Intramural Fields on Aug. 10. Squaw Creek flooded other places such as the fields

>>INTRAMURALS.p7B allowing students to practice before competition begins.

Cotton spent four days removing fallen trees and other debris from the flood.

The company also redid the baskets and foundations needed for the game to take place.

Flag football takes place just east of Jack Trice, and Greenlee said those fields are “roughly 90 percent” ready as of now and will be ready for play in early

September.

Andrew Jungers, senior in agriculture systems technology from Hospers, couldn’t be happier.

Jungers has been involved with intramurals since his freshman year.

His flag football team is already starting to think about the upcoming season.

“It’s fun competition,” Jungers said.

“After getting out of high school, you can’t really get into [the very competitive] sports.”

Less-than-perfect conditions won’t keep Jungers from reaching his intramural champion dreams.

Greenlee said he thinks most ISU students feel the same.

“I’ve been here 30 years,” he said. “My prediction is that we won’t see a change in the numbers. It’s like clockwork.”

For a complete list of intramurals and other details, go to the Recreation Services website, www.recservices.iastate.edu.

people who are even better, so that’s exciting.”

Johnson-Lynch doesn’t see such a difference between the freshmen and the upperclassmen.

She said that usually when freshmen come in it is easy to tell they are new, but the three freshmen are physically right up with the juniors and seniors.

“Practices have been so fun because they’re so competitive,” Johnson-Lynch said. “You know a lot of times you put your first unit out and they tend to kind of beat up on the second unit or you have to handicap the scoring so you can somehow make it competitive. We really don’t have to do that here. I feel like whoever we put on the second set or the first set, it’s still very, very competitive.”

The team’s competitive edge is increased by Hahn and Matlock, but also by the third member of their class, Hannah Willms.

Hahn and Willms knew each other before coming to Iowa State, as they both played club for Nike Six Pack.

The 6-foot outside hitter Willms hails from Waterloo.

She is especially unique in that, not only was she a fouryear volleyball letterwinner at Dike-New Hartford High School, but she also won 14 state track titles.

Despite her individual success in track, Willms likes volleyball because of the team aspect.

“I think, because of the team, it’s a lot different from sports like track,” Willms said.

Willms has gained the attention of Henson, who is an outside hitter as well. Henson said Willms can “jump out of the gym and hit really hard.”

After watching the three new freshmen, Willms in particular, Henson said she has had to step up her game because of the competition they provide for the whole team.

“They are probably the best group of freshmen I’ve seen by far since I’ve come here,” said Henson. “They’re really good, really athletic, and they’re not shy at all so its not like they’re standoffish. Playing-wise I wouldn’t really be able to tell they are freshmen.”

There is no doubt the freshmen bring more competition and talent to the Cyclones, and Johnson-Lynch said they can all contribute this season, even though there is still some work to do.

“All three of them, I didn’t know how ready they would be,” Johnson-Lynch said. “But they’ve all proven that on certain days they can compete with the upperclassmen. I think it’s about, for them, consistency and trying to compete at that level every day, but on days, they are right there with our best players on the team.”
