David Miles named to national organization David Miles, current member and former president of the Iowa Board of Regents, was named to the Board of Directors of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges, the Association announced Aug. 22.

AGB is a national-level organization that represents and serves the interests of the academic governing boards, institutional foundations and upper-level campus administration, and has more than 1,200 member institutions.

Prior to being appointed to the organization’s board of directors, Miles served as the chairman of AGB’s Council of Board Chairs.

“AGB is honored to have Mr. Miles join our Board of Directors,” Richard Legon, the organization’s president, said in a statement. “David brings extensive higher education and nonprofit board experience to this endeavor, and his enthusiasm for governance and for the safeguarding of citizen trusteeship are laudable. On top of that, his background in law and investment will contribute greatly to AGB’s work.”

Elected president of the Board of Regents in 2007, Miles was asked by Gov. Terry Branstad to resign from that position this summer. His term as a regent runs through April 30, 2012.

Miles graduated from Drake University and has advanced degree from Harvard Law School and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. He is also the CEO of Miles Capital, Inc. Michael Craighton, Daily staff writer

The only flooding Iowa State was concerned about this summer was the flow of money making its way to the university. June marked the cap of an eight-year fundraising effort that brought in a record-breaking amount of more than $867 million.

The fundraiser, Campaign Iowa State: With Pride and Purpose, began in July 2003 with a goal of raising more funds than any previous fundraising attempt.

The official $800 million goal was established for the campaign in 2007 and, by 2011, the annual fundraising production averaged $115 million, more than double the amount raised in 2002-2003.

“We set a very ambitious goal,” said ISU President Gregory Geoffroy. “Right at the beginning, we were positive that we were going to exceed the previous fundraising efforts.”

The eight-year campaign brought in more funds than any other fundraising effort and Geoffroy was pleased with the success.

“It was enormously successful in every way,” Geoffroy said. “The campaign raised funds for a number of major priorities for the university.”

Donors included more than 118,000 individuals pledging both gifts and funds. This campaign brought in several new donors as well, with more than 37,000 contributors donating for the very first time.

“We were delighted by the number of new donors to Iowa State,” said ISU Foundation President Dan Saftig. “Donors support causes and the fact that they are giving their hard-earned dollars to support students and faculty is credit to their belief in Iowa State.”

Gifts were received from benefactors in all 50 states, and more than 70 percent of the campaign total came from out-of-state donors.

“About 65 percent of ISU alumni live outside of Iowa, so it makes it more challenging to attract their support,” Saftig said. “So we took Iowa State on the road and brought the news of Iowa State’s accom-

plishments to them.”

More than $40 million was received from the phone center, online and direct mail donations alone while the faculty and staff donations reached $37 million.

More than 800 new scholarships were generated from the funds and 38 new faculty positions have been created as well. Both the scholarships and the faculty positions were distributed to programs all across the university, including several endowed scholarships.

“Somewhere around $260 million or more of new scholarship funds were raised,” Geoffroy said.

“So that will help students with additional scholarships.”

More than 80 new endowed faculty positions were created with the funds as well.

“The faculty endowments improve the excellence of the faculty, which of course impacts the quality of educational programs,” Geoffroy said.

Several campus improvements have been made since the fundraiser began in 2003 including 25 new or renovated buildings.

“There are a number of improvements in campus facilities that were made possible with the fundraising campaign,” Geoffroy said. “Morrill Hall, for example, was completed 4 or 5 years ago and has been available for students’ use ever since.”

Morrill Hall, the Student Services Center and Curtiss Hall are just a few examples of where the campaign funds have been used.

Some gifts have not been completed yet and are still ongoing.

Both Geoffroy and Saftig think the results of the campaign are a great indicator for the future of Iowa State.

“I think the campaign will have a significant impact on the university and thus lay a strong foundation for continued fundraising and continued excellence at the university,” Geoffroy said.

“Combined with enrollment increases, research increases and other really great indicators of Iowa State’s great programs, our donors follow suit,” Saftig said. “They see the value in an Iowa State education and how Iowa State and the ISU experience molds and shapes young people into very productive citizens.”

Aerospace engineering

Course takes students out of the box Atrium provides for new learning style

By Kaleb.Warnock @iowastatedaily.com Students of Aerospace Engineering 160 may have noticed they aren’t attending a traditional lecture.

This fall, rather than cramming into a classroom or piling into a lecture hall, these soon-to-be engineers are taking a course at Howe Hall in the atrium.

“We wanted to do something very different,” said Richard Wlezien, professor and chairman of the department of aerospace engineering.

“How many classes have you seen in an atrium on campus?”

The makeshift classroom is a collection of chairs and tables under the stairs across from the VRAC C6. Although students and faculty pass through, sleep on benches or just plain stare, the students listen attentively as they study the fundamentals of form drag and airfoil technology.

“We’re trying to get students excited about aerospace engineering,” he said. “This case is based on

The goal of putting the class in

Though Lady Gaga did not technically appear as a woman at this year’s VMAs, it was ladies night nonetheless as Katy Perry and Adele took home three awards each and Lady Gaga took home two.

Gaga’s alter-ego — the frisky, pompadour-sporting, cigarettesmoking, beer-swilling Joe Calderone — opened the show with a monologue and performance of Gaga’s latest single “You and I” alongside Brian May of Queen.

VMAs queen, Britney Spears, won the first award of the night for “Till the World Ends” and thanked God, her babies Jayden and Preston and her current beau Jason Trawick in her acceptance speech.

Demi Lovato and “Glee’s” Chord Overstreet presented the award for best collaboration to Katy Perry and Kanye West for “E.T.” Lady Gaga won the Best Female Video category for “Born This Way.” Joe Calderone must have been feeling amorous because he leered at Cloris Leachman before accepting the award.

Beyonce’s announces big baby news at the VMAs Baby rumors began swirling when Beyonce appeared on the black carpet at MTV’s VMAs wearing a flowy red dress and holding her belly.

And guess what: The rumors are true.

The singer’s publicist confirms to CNN that Beyonce and husband Jay-Z are expecting a child.

In June, Beyonce responded to pregnancy rumors, telling CNN’s Piers Morgan, “Only God knows” if a baby was in her future.

“I always said I’d have a baby at 30. I’m 29. But I also said I was going to retire at 30. I’m not retiring.”

Beyonce and Jay-Z, who have been together since 2002, were married in 2008.

Hurrinane Katrina helps America prepare for Irene

By Katherine.Klingseis @iowastatedaily.com Americans looked to the past when preparing for Hurricane Irene, and this preparation helped save both money and lives.

“I think people really learned their lesson after Hurricane Katrina,” said Cinzia Cervato, professor of geological and atmospheric sciences. “They learned that it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Birth of a hurricane Hurricane Irene, like other hurricanes, began as a tropical depression off the coast of Africa. A tropical depression is a low-pressure system of clouds and thunderstorms that occurs when there is a disturbance in the easterly waves.

“A hurricane first needs something to organize it,” said William Gutowski, professor of geological and atmospheric sciences. “Easterly waves organize thunderstorms, and rotates some.”

Once organized, a tropical depression has the potential of becoming a tropical storm.

A tropical storm differs from a regular thunderstorm in that a tropical storm has rotation and, sustained wind.

The Azores High is responsible for tracking the tropical storms or hurricanes over the Pacific Ocean, Cervato said. A small high will cause tropical storms and hurricanes to remain over the Pacific Ocean. A

Problems with Irene large high will lead the storms into the Gulf of Mexico.

As a tropical storm travels across warm water, water evaporates, vapor forms and tropical storms use that water vapor for energy. When wind speeds increase to more than 74 mph, a tropical storm is then classified as a hurricane.

Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale into five categories based on the storm’s sustained wind speeds. A Category 1 hurricane has winds speeds between 74 to 95 mph while a Category 5 hurricane has wind speeds more than 155 mph.

“It’s just a convenient way to classify,” Gutowski said of the scale. “It’s one aspect of it — the speed of wind.”

• Back • Neck • Headaches • Extremities • Acupuncture

Gutowski said there are many more aspects to consider when trying to predict the potential damage that could be caused by a hurricane. For instance, in the case of Irene, the track of the storm was problematic.

“There’s this corridor of densely populated cities on the East Coast,” Gutowski said.

“And Irene was traveling right along it.”

Another worry for public officials was the fact that hurricanes do not hit the East Coast as often as they do Florida or New Orleans, Gutowski said.

“There was concern that the infrastructure might not be prepared for it,” he said.

“People paid attention,” Gutowski said. “People responded individually to the warnings.”

In contrast, when Hurricane Katrina occurred, many people in New Orleans ignored the warnings.

“They thought, ‘We’ve been through hurricanes before.

It can’t be that bad,’” Cervato

said. “Nobody moved. Very few people packed up and left.”

New Orleans is also below sea level, which means that the area is more susceptible to flooding. In addition to high winds, hurricanes also bring storm surges.

In the days before Irene made landfall, people on the East Coast prepared for the worst. Several governors declared states of emergency and asked residents in dangerous regions to evacuate. Even without being asked, many other people on the coast packed their belongings and headed inland.

India Perspective

India agrees to anti-corruption law

By Kaleb.Warnock @iowastatedaily.com Indian parliament agreed to pass an anti-corruption bill after activist Anna Hazare ended his hunger strike Sunday. Hazare is a primary leader in an Indian anti-corruption movement aiming to pass a bill providing for a Jan Lokpal, an investigative body intended to fight corruption within the Indian government and expe-

dite prosecution of offenders.

This is a landmark success for the Indian people because this is the first time such a bill has made it through the India parliament, and has been awaiting approval in several forms for more than 40 years.

Hazare is an Indian political activist who has been instrumental in reinstating the bill for several years, but has recently been active through hunger strikes in recent months. The movement has cul-

minated in his most recent hunger strike that began nearly two weeks ago. He employs nonviolent tactics and firing up Indian youth in his current mission to end corruption indefinitely.

Several Indian international students from Iowa State are passionate about their home country’s political situation and were more than willing to speak with the Iowa State Daily about their own feelings and experiences.

Presha Kardile sophomore civil engineering

Upabali Das Sarma senior economics

“In India, you just have to bribe people or use your contacts. It’s not going through in an easy way. Everything has to go through in an illegal way. When this Lokpal bill is brought through, the members of the committee will be able to control the flow of black money abroad.

Also, they can have the right to question anyone.”

“If corruption ends in India, so many things will be right. Everything from education to the economy, to politics to business, both the private and the public sector.

In India we are like, ‘chalet sai,’ which means corruption is a part of life. But we should realize that, as a country, it’s not going to sustain for long if corruption is going to go on.”

“I don’t think it’s ever going to work. I mean, corruption is a huge thing. It’s not going to work because it just has to be in the morality of the person. I mean, people look at corruption in a bad way and want to change it, but I don’t think it’s going to help. Whoever is looking at the bill, even if it gets passed or something, unless they take action, whoever are the corrupt people or in charge will get bribed.”

Wall Street

Insurers drive stocks higher; Dow gains 254

By Chip Cutter AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — So much for Irene.

Stocks rose broadly Monday, led by insurance companies, after it became clear that the tropical storm caused far less damage than many had feared. An increase in U.S. consumer spending also helped, as did as did a rare piece of good news from Greece: a merger of two major banks.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 254 points.

Trading volume, or the number of shares bought and sold, was the lowest since July 26 as many traders struggled to get to work in Lower Manhattan or were on vacation.

Insurance stocks rose sharply as analysts lowered their estimates of how much damage the storm would cause. Allstate Corp. rose 8.5 percent, Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. rose 13 percent, and Travelers Cos. Inc. rose 5.1 percent. Insurance and banking stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 4.2 percent, the most of the 10 company groups that make up the index.

Kinetic Analysis Corp., a consulting firm, sharply lowered its estimate

of storm damage from $20 billion late Thursday to $7 billion late Sunday as the storm weakened. Of that amount, insurers would probably have to cover up to $3 billion, Kinetic said. That’s less than the $6 billion the industry paid after Hurricane Isabel struck the region in 2003.

“The U.S. came more or less un-

scathed through the hurricane,” said Kim Caughey Forrest, equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. “The cleanup isn’t going to cost as much as anticipated.”

Utilities companies also rose after it became clear their storm-related expenses would be lower than earlier estimates. Duke Energy Corp., which

IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY

serves customers in the Carolinas, rose 1.1 percent. New York’s biggest utility company, Consolidated Edison Inc., rose 1.3 percent.

The New York Stock Exchange and other major U.S. exchanges opened as usual Monday after making extensive preparations over the weekend. At the NYSE, executives brought in dozens of cots so employees could sleep there to be ready for the opening bell.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 254.71 points, or 2.3 percent, to close at 11,539.25. It is now down just 0.3 percent for the year. It had been down as much as 7.4 percent for the year on Aug. 10.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 33.28 points, or 2.8 percent, to 1,210.08. The widely used market benchmark is now up 8.1 percent since on Aug. 8, when it hit low for the year because of a downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating.

The technology-focused Nasdaq composite index rose 82.26, or 3.3 percent, to 2,562.11.

The Russell 2000 index, a benchmark for small companies, rose 32.86 points, or 4.7 percent, to 724.65. The stair-step pattern of gains, from 2.3

percent in the Dow to 4.7 percent in the Russell, suggested investors were more willing to take on risk. Small company stocks are more likely to fall in economic downturns, but they also offer the potential of larger gains if the economy does well. The Russell is still down 7.5 percent this year, nearly twice as much as the S&P 500.

Bank of America Corp. rose 8.1 percent, the most of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow average, after the bank said it would sell half of its stake in China Construction Bank Corp. The bank has been selling assets to raise cash to comply with new banking regulations.

Last week, billionaire Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said it would invest $5 billion in BofA, giving the troubled company a badly needed boost. The nation’s largest bank has lost 34 percent of its value over the past year as investors worry that its liabilities from soured mortgages will get worse and that it will have to sell large amounts of stock to raise capital.

An increase in consumer spending also helped push stocks higher.

The government reported that spending rose 0.8 percent in July.

NASA

Space station may be evacuated by November

By Marcia Dunn The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronauts may need to take the unprecedented step of temporarily abandoning the International Space Station if last week’s Russian launch accident prevents new crews from flying there this fall.

Until officials figure out what went wrong with Russia’s essential Soyuz rockets, there will be no way to launch any more astronauts before the current residents have to leave in mid-November.

The unsettling predicament comes just weeks after NASA’s final space shuttle flight.

“We have plenty of options,” NASA’s space station program manager, Mike Suffredini, assured reporters Monday. “We’ll focus on crew safety as we always do.”

Abandoning the space station, even for a short period, would be an unpleasant last resort for the world’s five space agencies that have spent decades working on the project. Astronauts have been living aboard the space station

since 2000, and the goal is to keep it going until 2020.

Suffredini said flight controllers could keep a deserted space station operating indefinitely, as long as all major systems are working properly. The risk to the station goes up, however, if no one is on board to fix equipment breakdowns.

Six astronauts from three countries presently are living on the orbiting complex. Three are due to leave next month; the other three are supposed to check out in mid-November.

The Sept. 22 launch of the very next crew — the first to fly in this post-shuttle era — already has been delayed indefinitely. Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft have been the sole means of getting full-time station residents up and down for two years.

To keep the orbiting outpost with a full staff of six for as long as possible, the one American and two Russians due to return to Earth on Sept. 8 will remain on board at least an extra week.

As for supplies, the space station is well stocked and could go until next summer, Suffredini

said. Atlantis dropped off a year’s supply of goods just last month on the final space shuttle voyage.

The unmanned craft destroyed Wednesday was carrying 3 tons of supplies.

For now, operations are normal in orbit, Suffredini noted, and the additional week on board for

half the crew will mean additional science research.

The Soyuz has been extremely reliable over the decades; this was the first failure in 44 Russian supply hauls for the space station.

Even with such a good track record, many in and outside NASA were concerned about retiring the

space shuttles before a replacement was ready to fly astronauts.

Russian space officials have set up an investigation team and until it comes up with a cause for the accident and a repair plan, the launch and landing schedules remain in question. None of the spacecraft debris has been

recovered yet; the wreckage fell into a remote, wooded section of Siberia. The third stage malfunctioned; a sudden loss of pressure apparently was noted between the engine and turbopump.

While a crew may well have survived such an accident because of safety precautions built into the manned version of the rocket, no one wants to take any chances.

One or two unmanned Soyuz launches are on tap for October, one commercial and the other another space station supply run.

Those would serve as important test flights before putting humans on board, Suffredini said.

NASA considered vacating the space station before, following the space shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. Back then, shuttles were still being used to ferry some station residents back and forth.

Instead, the station got by with two-man crews for three years because of the significant cutback in supplies.

The space station’s population doubled in 2009, to six. It wasn’t until the space station was completed this year that science research finally took priority.

Tropical Storm Irene

District court

Federal judge blocks Alabama illegal immigration law

Death toll jumps to 38; Vermont battles floods

By Jennifer Peltz and Wilson Ring The Associated Press MONTPELIER, Vt. — The full measure of Hurricane Irene’s fury came into focus Monday as the death toll jumped to 38, New England towns battled epic floods and millions faced the dispiriting prospect of several days without electricity.

From North Carolina to Maine, communities cleaned up and took stock of the uneven and hard-to-predict costs of a storm that spared the nation’s biggest city a nightmare scenario, only to deliver a historic wallop to towns well inland.

In New York City, where people had braced for a disaster-movie scene of water swirling around skyscrapers, the subways and buses were up and running again in time for the Monday morning commute. And to the surprise of many New Yorkers, things went pretty smoothly.

But in New England, land-

locked Vermont contended with what its governor called the worst flooding in a century. Streams also raged out of control in upstate New York.

In many cases, the moment of maximum danger arrived well after the storm had passed, as rainwater made its way into rivers and streams and turned them into torrents. Irene dumped up to 11 inches of rain on Vermont and more than 13 in parts of New York.

“We were expecting heavy rains,” said Bobbi-Jean Jeun of Clarksville, a hamlet near Albany, N.Y. “We were expecting flooding.

We weren’t expecting devastation.

It looks like somebody set a bomb off.”

Meanwhile, the 11-state death toll, which had stood at 21 as of Sunday night, rose sharply as bodies were pulled from floodwaters and people were electrocuted by downed power lines.

The tally of Irene’s destruction mounted, too. An apparently vacant home exploded in an evacuated, flooded area in Pompton Lakes,

N.J., early Monday, and firefighters had to battle the flames from a boat. In the Albany, N.Y., suburb of Guilderland, police rescued two people Monday after their car was swept away. Rescuers found them three hours later, clinging to trees along the swollen creek.

“It’s going to take time to recover from a storm of this magnitude,” President Barack Obama warned as he promised the government would do everything in its power to help people get back on their feet.

For many people, the aftermath could prove more painful than the storm itself.

In North Carolina, where Irene blew ashore along the Outer Banks on Saturday before heading for New York and New England, 1,000 people were still in emergency shelters, awaiting word on their homes.

At the same time, nearly 5 million homes and businesses in a dozen states were still without electricity, and utilities warned it might be a week or more before some people got their power back.

Ala.

—

A federal judge temporarily blocked enforcement of Alabama’s new law cracking down on illegal immigration, ruling Monday that she needed more time to decide whether the law opposed by the Obama administration, church leaders and immigrant-rights groups is constitutional.

The brief order by U.S. District Judge Sharon L. Blackburn means the law — which opponents and supporters alike have called the toughest in the nation — won’t take effect as scheduled on Thursday. The ruling was cheered both by Republican leaders who were pleased the judge didn’t gut the law and by opponents who compare it to old Jim Crow-era statutes against racial integration.

Blackburn didn’t address whether the law is constitu-

tional, and she could still let all or parts of the law take effect later. Instead, she said she needed more time to consider lawsuits filed by the Justice Department, private groups and individuals that claim the state is overstepping its bounds.

The judge said she will issue a longer ruling by Sept. 28, and her temporary order will remain in effect until the day after. She heard arguments from the Justice Department and others during a daylong hearing last week.

Similar laws have been passed in Arizona, Utah, Indiana and Georgia. Federal judges already have blocked all or parts of the laws in those states.

Among other things, the law would require schools to verify the citizenship status of students, but it wouldn’t prevent illegal immigrants from attending public schools.

The law also would make it

a crime to knowingly assist an illegal immigrant by providing them a ride, a job, a place to live or most anything else — a section that church leaders fear would hamper public assistance ministries. It also would allow police to jail suspected illegal immigrants during traffic stops.

Finding a way to curtail public spending that benefits illegal immigrants has been a pet project of Alabama conservatives for years. Census figures released earlier this year show the state’s Hispanic population more than doubled over a decade to 185,602 last year, and supporters of the law contend many of them are in the country illegally.

Isabel Rubio, executive director of the Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama, which is among the groups that sued over the law, hopes Blackburn will block it entirely but was happy with the temporary reprieve.

President

Obama taps labor economist for top White House job

By Julie Pace The Associated Press

Austan Goolsbee, have all left the administration, leaving Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner as the only top official remaining from the president’s original economic team.

Obama has often reached within his administration’s ranks to fill vacant posts on the economic team, and Krueger is no exception. Though he spent last year at Princeton, he served as assistant secretary for economic policy at the Treasury Department during the first two years of Obama’s administration.

Gregory Mankiw, a former CEA chairman under President George W. Bush and long-time acquaintance of Krueger, said Obama’s new nominee has a reputation as an analytic, data-driven economist, not as a champion for many specific policy initiatives.

While Mankiw said he believes Krueger is highly-qualified for the post, he doesn’t expect him to push the administration in any new directions when it comes to tackling the nation’s economic and unemployment woes.

“This is more of a continuity appointment rather than a move-

WASHINGTON — Facing a public deeply dissatisfied with his handling of the economy, President Barack Obama on Monday tapped a prominent labor economist to join his cadre of advisers and help steer a fall jobs agenda that will be critical to the president’s re-election bid.

In nominating Alan Krueger as chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Obama gains an economist with expertise in the labor market and unemployment, a key drag on the U.S. economy and Obama’s presidency. Krueger, a former Treasury Department official and Princeton University economist, has advocated for hiring tax credits for businesses and increased government spending on infrastructure, two programs Obama aides are considering proposing this fall.

His appointment also caps a wholesale makeover of Obama’s economic leadership team during the past year. Several high-ranking advisers, including Lawrence Summers, Christina Romer and

He’s keeping the basic structure of the team in place.”

White House spokesman Jay

A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows that 63 percent of Americans disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy. Approval of his economic performance stands at just 36 percent, his worst approval rating on the issue in APGfK polling.

Obama has promised to outline a new round of jobs initiatives next week. But it’s unclear whether anything he proposes could improve the economy short-term.

The president has already called for an extension of a payroll tax cut that expires at the end of the year and to continue jobless benefits. Aides are considering other measures, including tax incentives for businesses to hire and direct infusions of government money into construction projects.

Obama has also said he intends to call for additional long-term deficit reduction to help pay for the short-term spending his proposals would require.

He said Monday that his jobs initiatives will be “the kind of proposals that everybody can get behind, no matter what your political affiliation might be.”

whose particular skills are more relevant than ever in the economic environment we find ourselves in,” Carney said. “His expertise in the labor market is particularly relevant as we focus on the need to grow the economy and increase job creation.”

Obama announced Krueger’s nomination at a Rose Garden ceremony Monday morning and said he would rely on the economist for unvarnished guidance, not partisan political advice.

“That’s more important than ever right now,” Obama said. “We need folks in Washington to make decisions based on what’s best for the country, not what’s best for any political party or special interest.”

If confirmed by the Senate, Krueger will join a White House grappling for ways to boost sluggish economic growth and bring down an unemployment rate stuck stubbornly above 9 percent.

Republican presidential hopefuls are traveling around the country, campaigning hard for the GOP nomination by focusing squarely on Obama’s handling of the economy. And an already anxious public is growing increasingly frustrated.

Carney brushed off questions Monday about whether Krueger would bring any fresh job creation ideas to the White House, saying only that the president’s nominee was the best person for the job.

“He’s an excellent economist

What we want in a president As the Presidential Search committee continues advancing toward its task of finding someone to fill President Geoffroy’s role a year from now, we brainstormed a few ideas as to what attributes the committee members should look for in a candidate.

A month ago the committee held a conference call to update everyone on its progress. At that time, there were 50-odd individuals nominated for the position. The organization hired by the Board of Regents to assist in the search for a new ISU president then stated there were still about five or six weeks of recruiting.

It has been more than four weeks since then. According to that timetable, it is time to think more aggressively about what qualities candidates should possess. We need administrative leaders who will take their roles as facilitators of education very seriously.

A good university president should be a good professor and teacher and should approach his job with an eye toward facilitating as much learning here as possible. More and more Americans of all ages pursue an increasingly expensive higher education. To say nothing of the cost of room and board, tuition is nearly $10,000 per semester for non-resident students and $4,000 per semester for resident students. He also should understand how the various departments relate to one another and appreciate the value in each.

A good president will work for the whole university rather than favoring one particular college or discipline.

And just as it’s not enough for a professor to be unbelievably brilliant in class, it’s not enough for any administrator to simply be good at his or her job. An ability to connect with students — an ability to meet their minds with an understanding that is almost second nature — is absolutely imperative.

Visibility goes along with that.

Our next president should appear at university functions often and be visible around campus. If you walk past Beardshear Hall toward the Campanile and Memorial Union early enough in the morning, you have a pretty even chance of walking past President Geoffroy.

Nor should an administrator use his or her position here as a political position. It may be funded in large part with appropriations from the state of Iowa, but the reason this place exists is to educate the citizens of this state so they will be able both to work as productive members of society and to make informed decisions about the aspects of life that bring us together.

Good presidents are ones who take active interest in their students. They are leaders, willing to make difficult decisions that better the university, with vision for where we’re headed in the years to come.

Olympics would restore patriotism

T

he next Summer Olympics up for grabs is a long ways away. It’s nine years away, to be precise. But the U.S. Olympic Commission’s announcement last week that it would not pursue nomination of an American city to host the once-in-four-years series of events is disconcerting.

The announcement comes at what is almost a time of national crisis. Trillion-dollar deficits mar the government’s checkbook, and the political discourse surrounding our budget is chock-full of accusations of both treason and an absence of patriotism among the dissenters from party lines.

We’re winding down two decade-long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, sure. But what did we accomplish there? Even if we did establish two constitutional states like ours in the Middle East, how will ordinary Americans benefit?

How will their lives be improved?

Will we be less fearful? Only one member of the “axis of evil” was removed. The others remain, but no nuclear attack has come.

Manned space exploration as a public endeavor has died.

Apparently if it’s not going to be profitable, acquiring knowledge about the universe around us and the limits of what we can do is not important. Scientific knowledge for scientific knowledge’s sake, as an end in itself, has fallen out of favor.

Instead of going outward in space, we’re staying in. With the discontinuation of the shuttle program, the only way out of the earth’s gravitational pull is strapped to a Russian rocket. We abandoned doing it for ourselves, now relying on another foreign

By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com power. But since the Russians are apparently having difficulty getting their rockets out of the atmosphere in one working piece, NASA announced last week that they may have to evacuate the International Space Station.

Economic performance remains sluggish. Earlier this month, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 500 points, then up 500 points, and continued this oscillation for about a week. The expectations for our national debt were downgraded for the first time in history by a major bond ratings agency, and unemployment in the 9 percent range persists.

We don’t make things anymore. Basic manufacturing left these shores for more profitable continents decades ago, and even parts of our service industry (think computer support) now serve us from Asia or the Indian subcontinent.

Where am I going with this?

The Olympics are a great opportunity to set a fire under our asses and get rid of this malaise.

Making sure we do a damn good job of hosting them is nothing less than the kind of challenge the American people need and the kind of challenge to which they can rise — and surmount — with ease, should they put their energy

to it.

But the U.S. Olympic Commission rejected even the possibility of hosting the 2020 Summer Games. Their reason, they said, was focusing on preparing for the Games in London next year, and working out a revenue-sharing agreement with the International Olympic Committee, as if we can’t work on multiple projects at once.

Sure, these two reasons may be legitimate, and they may both be very daunting. But why not involve so many more sections of the United States in preparations of Olympic proportions by trying to host them?

American athletes are some of the best. From competing in 47 Olympic Games, Americans have brought home 5,365 gold medals, 5,333 silver medals and 5,623 bronze medals. That’s a total of 16,321 medals that American athletes have won since 1896.

How much more inspiring would it be to win some of those at home!

Americans of all walks of life need to see Americans winning in America.

The Olympics also are an opportunity to put aside the day-in, day-out, nonstop politicking we insist on broadcasting and printing every minute of every day. To our credit, we are a people who insist on practicing politics at every turn. But it’s tiring; it wears us down. We stop remembering we are all Americans and begin to think Americanism travels with a specific political party and not others.

Having an American city host the Olympic Games also obtains tangible benefits. Infrastructure

upgrades, which necessarily entail spending and jobs, accompany any serious bid to host the events.

Successful bids continue those infrastructure improvements, whose benefits exceed the two weeks of athletic competitions, and bring jobs and publicity to the area. Costs of attending the games — costs of lodging, entertainment and whatever else the national delegations have a mind to spend their money on — offset the costs of hosting.

Hosting the Olympics also is an opportunity to mend relations with foreign countries that were damaged by our nearly unilateral action in Iraq, as well as our bullying insistence that Saddam Hussein was a loose cannon in the lead-up to that conflict. “If you’re not with us, you’re against us” is the mantra of someone who wants to lose his friends and lose them quickly. By demonstrating our good offices to representatives of countries as large as China and as small as Palau (find that one on a map), we can show we take our role as the world’s most powerful country and largest economy seriously. We can show our willingness to lead in even the worst of times.

Next time, hopefully the U.S. Olympic Commission realizes that hosting the Olympics isn’t just about the Olympics. It’s about the United States. It’s about shoring up national integrity and harnessing potential energy into the kinetic variety and bringing us out of malaise.

University needs to teach network safety First and foremost, I would like to say that Rick Hanton’s column on computer passwords last week was a well-written article, and I applaud him for bringing a big security issue for today’s students to the forefront.

The university has meeting after meeting about physical safety on campus, but none about network security. That doesn’t seem right.

Before I go any further, I should point out that my views are not those expressed by the Iowa State ITS department, they are my own that I came to after reading the article.

There is a part in the article where Rick states that ITS should step up its game to help educate students about online security.

While I agree this should happen, I do not believe it is the department’s responsibility to

Alex Meyer, senior in computer

engineering.

do this.

We are here to provide support to students and staff of the university, and if you work on campus you know the amount of red tape that goes into each and every decision made.

To have the ITS department teach safety would require that it get approved by board after board, and somewhere along the line, it would probably not pass.

What I think should happen though is that, just like each student is required to take Library 160 (even though most students will not set foot in the library again after they take

the course), they should also have to take Computer Engineering 131, an introductory course on network security that teaches students about firewalls, antivirus protection, social engineering and phishing schemes.

This class and the ideas it teaches would probably reduce the amount of students we see in the Solution Center by approximately 30 to 40 percent because most of the appointments we take deal with removing fake antivirus programs, or something of the like.

I also think this topic should be publicized more and should not get swept under the rug; it is a very real danger for people connecting to Iowa State’s network anywhere on campus and should be treated as such.

I’m sure that doing this would make some people at the Solution Center very happy.

Books

Reading for leisure important to students’ learning, future

D

o you like to read? This may have been a silly question decades ago, but unfortunately it is a legitimate query in the times we live in. Reading has become somewhat of a chore to many lazy college students this day and age. It’s something that is only done in dire circumstances, when cramming for a test or hastily catching up before class starts.

Many professors water down the course reading load to accommodate students that despise reading or are simply too lazy to put forth the effort.

Suddenly it has become a badge of honor to admit you hate reading. And this is not even the type of reading I am getting at. I mean reading. You know, for leisure? Reading books that stimulate your mind or take you to different lands; that kind of reading.

In today’s mass saturation with pop culture, cellphones, social media and a near endless stream of entertainment, Americans today are relentlessly bombarded with attention-grabbing distractions: reality television, contests, sports, celebrity gossip, clubs and parties, booze and sex. It is of no wonder that many people do not do any actual reading anymore. Who wants to expand their mind reading philosophy when you can spend an entire day glued to a television screen watching “Jersey Shore”?

If you have never read Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” I highly recommend that you do so. The book is set in a futuristic, dystopian American society where no one reads books because they are burned by fire departments.

Although this can be seen as a criticism of

By Jacob.Witte @iowastatedaily.com government censorship, it is not. The people themselves stopped reading books because mass entertainment provided them instant gratification. Books also made people unhappy because they show different sides and viewpoints to “conventional wisdom.” At one point, the fire chief explains, “If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget that there is such a thing as war.”

Taking people’s minds off of what is important depoliticizes them and keeps them from considering alternatives.

Bradbury’s almost prophetic vision of the future is complete with parlor rooms in which three of the four walls are covered entirely with television screens. People go off in the morning to work and drive back home so they can be mindlessly entertained by television shows that send out scripts to the viewers so that, as they follow along, the actors stare into the camera and wait for you to give your line, making you think that the show cannot possibly go on without you. The mindset of doing something

incredibly important, yet in reality is completely pointless, ensues (American Idol text-in voting, anyone?). Although, I digress.

There is a clear upshot to this seeming epidemic, however. It is never too late to change.

Go to the Parks Library to find anything you fancy, whether it be fiction, science fiction, romance or fantasy. You name it, they have it.

There are myriad of ways you can start reading great books. Lists upon lists of classics you can pick up are available on the Internet, or you could just peruse the library and seek out books that pique your interest.

Also, if you do have a smartphone or tablet,

chances are there is a free e-reading app you can download that contains a plethora of free classic titles. The possibilities are nearly endless.

So what is to be done about the current and future state of reading in this country?

We can either continue to let it slide until Ray Bradbury’s tale comes to fruition, or we can pick up an intriguing title and welcome the company of a society that chooses to read. The choice is up to you.

Learning how to cook serves your future

Culinary skill offers sophistication and a chance to dazzle

W

ith that first bite, my teeth sink into the warm, soft skin of the lasagna.

The gentle waves of marinara swim across the surface, adding a sweet and tangy sensation to the smooth taste of the homemade delicacy.

Deep below the surface, the simmered ricotta hits my taste buds, and the sensation is heavenly. It’s by far the best lasagna I have ever eaten, and it was cooked by a college student.

Cooking is an essential skill, one we tend to lack at this age when we no longer eat at home. Since we’ve been eating out, we’ve not only lost any ability to cook, we’ve forgotten the value of a homemade meal. But cooking is in fact a skill worth taking the time to develop; if properly learned, it has many merits. My friend has made it a point to learn this precious skill and it profits him daily. He uses it to enthrall both professors and friends, he can win the heart of any hungry crowd, and his fine foods keep him both healthy and fed. Sadly, most students are much like myself, utterly inept in the culinary arts, and we’re missing out.

Like most students, my cooking creations violate the laws of nature, but he seamlessly creates the divinity in noodles. Even my basic pretzel can be dangerous. I have the ability to generate lumps of bread dough, inedible in all regards and a long way from dazzling anyone.

As my doughy lumps demon-

By Ryan.Peterson @iowastatedaily.com strate, most students can’t cook, in part because of the lack of time and attention to learn it; macaroni and cheese becomes macaroni stew when we forget it’s on the burner.

Any attempt to eat it will make you ill for a week. Our attention is distracted by homework, exams and friends. So we eat on campus because it’s quick or we eat out because it’s good, but we don’t associate good quick food with home cooking. It’s sad, though; we’re missing out on the best lasagna of our lives, the juiciest burgers of any barbecue and countless other cuisines.

The inability to cook is a mark of incompletion. You’ll always be rendered inept in the kitchen without the ability to make basic dishes.

Even if you can explain cellular respiration as a college student, your experiments with carbon, hydrogen or oxygen to make anything edible could be lethal. It’s far more common to eat out to save yourself time and energy. This, however, is a restriction. An expensive one at that, where we cannot provide food for ourselves or others without paying someone else to do it. Cooking can be a strong tool in anyone’s arsenal if they allow it.

I lack the culinary skills to serenade a girl of sophistication, I’ll never be able to bring clients home to enjoy a meal, and any attempt to

feed friends could be considered homicide. Taking them out to eat just isn’t the same as laboring over a dish yourself. Cooking says, “I made this, just for you to enjoy.”

Cooking is the ability to bring your project manager home for a meal, a lucrative endeavor if you can make a decent dish, and it’s a bonus, a mark of sophistication that sets you apart from the world.

We’ve stopped learning because we’ve stopped cooking. Mom and Dad used to cook and we learned by watching. It’s a family bond, a way to nurture your family. But now we’re learning to eat out or eat from cans.

Even though most people aren’t as bad as I am, the college cuisine rarely goes beyond ramen noodles and hot dogs. How bland, unimpressive and what poor nutritional value.

Can it even be classified as a meal?

risk, but you also put emergency crews at risk,” he said.

“And, you take them away from helping someone who is in danger from no fault of their own.”

As cleanup begins, many people will talk about the damage caused by Hurricane Irene. According to the Associated Press, there are 38 confirmed deaths due to Hurricane Irene. And Reuters reported that the storm could cost billions of dollars in damage.

However, those numbers are significantly lower than those produced by Hurricane Katrina.

The National Hurricane Center reported that 1,836 people died in Katrina or from subsequent flooding and the total property damage amounted to $81 billion.

Cervato and Gutowski both believe that Americans learned from the catastrophe that occurred because of ill preparation for Hurricane Katrina. Although individuals and public officials can mitigate hurricane damage, no one can prevent hurricanes from occurring.

“They’re natural phenomenas,” Cervato said. “It’s just something we have to deal with.”

rises in sea level that result from strong winds. As a storm surge nears land, it become larger. Eventually, it crashes into the shore and the water spreads across the land, taking anything in its way.

“Storm surges do the most damage,” Cervato said.

During Hurricane Katrina, which was a Category 3 hurricane when it made landfall in Louisiana, storm surges reached more than 20 feet tall. These storm surges flooded New Orleans and caused colossal damage to the entire Gulf Coast region.

In fear of storm surges, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered the mandatory evacuation of nearly 370,000 residents in low-lying regions of the city. When Irene made landfall in the Coney Island area of Brooklyn, after having already made landfall in North Carolina and New Jersey, the hurricane had been downgraded to a tropical storm.

“The combination of warnings and the down class to tropical storm was a good thing,” Cervato said.

Officials warned that storm surges could have reached more than 8 feet tall.

However, Irene lost energy as it traveled up the East Coast, and the storm surges reached only about 5 feet across the region, which led to less damage that had been predicted.

Although critics say that Bloomberg acted unreasonably when he called for the mandatory evacuation of so many residents, Gutowski feels that Bloomberg made a smart decision.

“There could have been a small shift in the storm and storm surges could have been

much worse,” he said.

Cleaning up after Irene With the storm over, residents on the East Coast must now deal with the damage dealt by Irene. Flooding and power outages are two of the biggest problems that were caused by the storm, Cervato and Gutowski said.

“The cleaning up process is: wait for water to retreat, clean up debris and rebuild,” Cervato said.

Gutowski said that floodwaters are often contaminated. He said public officials must provide citizens with fresh, clean water. He said officials must also provide food for people who do not have access to a working refrigerator due to power outages.

During the rebuilding process, Gutowski recommended that citizens avoid dangerous areas and doing actions that will put them at risk.

“If you do something dangerous, you put yourself at

“It seems a lot more casual compared to my 400-some odd people lecture for chemistry. That one seems pretty formal-ish. I like this.”

Despite the occasional traffic and extraneous noise, the young aerospace engineers were surprisingly attentive.

“I was trying to take notes, but it’s harder to see some of the subscripts and some of the stuff on the equations,” said Brandon Nelson, freshman in aerospace engineering.

“I’d say that’s a downfall, but other than that, it’s OK.” Although the change is still in the trial phase, Wlezien is optimistic about the evolving job market and changing scene of the aerospace engineering department at Iowa State.

“With the changes within the university, we’re becoming more and more conscious of student retention,” he said.

“The companies have realized that setting the bar in the wrong place, they’re scaring students away.”

Editorial

Play hard, study harder

ISD Sports fantasy guidelines Yes, it’s that time of the year again folks. Thank goodness, we have football back.

You know who is the most grateful? The fantasy football junkies. The guys who live in front of a television and on a computer every Sunday.

The guys who spend all of August thinking about who will be the biggest sleeper, or who would they rather have with the No. 1 pick.

Yes, fantasy football is back in full swing.

The following will be the editorial board’s attempt to better equip those who haven’t drafted yet, and make those who have already drafted say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

State:

Two Hawaii football players suspended HONOLULU — Two starters on the University of Hawaii football team are suspended after they were arrested at a Waikiki nightclub.

News reports say outside linebacker Aaron Brown and receiver Darius Bright were arrested early Sunday for their alleged involvement in a brawl at Zanzabar Nightclub.

Brown and Bright were arrested on charges of misdemeanor assault and were released after posting bail.

The two are not allowed to participate in practices and team-related activities while suspended. The Warriors open the season at home Saturday at home against Colorado.

Coach Greg McMackin says he will evaluate the situation and take appropriate action.

McMackin was scheduled to meet with both players Monday before forwarding his recommendation to athletics director Jim Donovan.

State:

Bengals RB Benson gets jail sentence in Texas AUSTIN, Texas — Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson was sentenced to 20 days in jail Monday after reaching a deal to settle two misdemeanor assault cases in Texas.

Benson said he will surrender to authorities on Oct. 1.

“This was a difficult decision for Mr. Benson,” said Sam Bassett, the running back’s attorney. “His priority right now is to get back to work and put these legal matters behind him.”

Benson’s jail time could be significantly shorter than the sentence. He could be given credit for any time served when he was arrested and state law requires inmates be given two days credit for every day they are rewarded for good behavior. Jail overcrowding could also shorten his stay.

But for now, the Bengals must make plans to be without their leading rusher.

Benson was arrested in 2010 for allegedly punching a bar employee in Austin, an incident that earned him a meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last year but resulted in no punishment.

He was also arrested last month for allegedly punching a former roommate in downtown Austin.

He pleaded no contest to a charge of assault with bodily injury with family violence, and that will be dismissed if he performs 30 hours of community service and pays an undisclosed amount of restitution to the victim.

“We’re pleased that Mr. Benson took responsibility for his actions today and we think this was a just result given the facts of the case,” said Corby Holcomb, assistant trial director with the Travis County Attorney’s Office.

By Cory.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com In light of the recent news that ISU quarterback Jerome Tiller is academically ineligible for the 2011 football season, one question that arises is how something like this would happen.

To the surprise of many students, however, academic eligibility isn’t solely based on whether an athlete gets an A or a D in a class.

“There’s a number of different rules that a student-athlete has to meet every semester that they’re in school,” said Tommy Powell, associate athletic director at Iowa State.

“Some of it’s GPA, some of it’s hours passed, some of it’s hours earned, some of it is percent toward degree.”

At Hixson-Lied Student Success Center, there are many resources available for student-athletes, and Powell said they have been buzzing with about 500 appointments per week.

“That’s individual,” Powell said. “That’s people coming in and getting tutored or mentoring, which is a person that helps them get organized and we do that mainly with our freshmen coming in.”

One of the athletes who utilize the resources for student-athletes is junior defender Megan Long of the ISU soccer team. Long was also named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team in 2010 and said the resources are really helpful.

“It’s really nice because there’s a lot of people that are watching out for you and making sure you’re on the right track and everything,” Long said.

Hixson-Lied offers a wide range of resources to help student-athletes stay on track, from tutoring and mentoring to academic conditioning.

Powell said their help supplements the guidance that each student’s adviser gives them.

“They have an adviser on campus though, just like you have an adviser on campus, so they have to be advised by that person as far as what classes to take for their degree,”

1. Don’t risk it too early In the first round don’t try and go out on a limb.

Yes, you may think this is the year that an unproven running back rushes for 2,000 yards out of nowhere, but it probably won’t happen.

You’re better off taking the safe high-value pick like an Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson.

2. Don’t pay attention to rankings This is a philosophy that has helped win leagues for years.

Choose guys you want and you stick to them. During the draft you may get excited and want to jump at the chance for a player you didn’t expect to be there, but stick to your guns and it’ll pay off.

Photo: Jordan Maurice/Iowa State Daily Hixson-Lied Student Success Center gives student athletes the opportunity to get academic help.

Powell said.

“All we do is we supplement that with tutoring, mentoring and tracking how they’re doing in each one of their classes.”

The amount of hours each athlete must spend in Hixson is determined on an individual basis. While that number is set for all freshmen, it can change based on their performance in the classroom as time goes on.

“We set up our freshmen to be here at least eight hours a week, and then based on how they’re doing, they can either matriculate out of having required study hall or they remain in throughout their entire time here,” Powell said.

“But it’s a call that I consult with our coaches and we work really closely together, but it’s our system that we put in place here that we have our students prescribed to.”

The NCAA Rules and Regulations Book is the size of the dictionary and is on display at just about every library, but for more information on academic eligibility among student athletes, visit NCAA.com.

3. Prepare wisely Think it out. Schedules help out a large amount.

Do you really want a guy that has to play the likes of the Steelers and Ravens four times a year in the AFC North?

Yes, Sam Bradford may be a middle-of-the-road quarterback so far, but he plays in the NFC West.

The style of team helps out a lot.

The Saints may be phenomenal offensively, but they have too many weapons and are really pass-heavy.

Players on a team like the Colts are no-brainers — someone like Reggie Wayne for example.

He may not be the sexiest pick, but he’s been a top 10 receiver the past five seasons because Peyton Manning has to throw it to someone.

4. Avoid the one-hit wonders Guys like Peyton Hillis and Steve Johnson were crucial last season because no one expected it. Same goes for Arian Foster. Yes, he may have won you the title last year, but he won’t be worth a No. 1 pick because defenses know how to prepare for him now.

5. But be ready to snatch them up at the same time The waiver wire is key. A wise man once said be quick without hurrying. In fantasy football terms that means: Be the guy who snatches up the waiver wire players, but don’t go dumping your entire team right away.

If you beat someone to the punch and get that breakout player off the waiver wire at the beginning of the year, it could mean a championship.

We know one fantasy owner who picked up Michael Vick at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday morning after finding out he would start the next week.

Cyclones speed toward UNI

By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com Game day may be right around the corner, but these four days until Saturday’s kickoff of the ISY college football season couldn’t come sooner for coaches, players and fans of the game. Saturday will mark 287 days since Iowa State last took the field at Jack Trice Stadium in a 14-0 loss to Missouri.

“Game week, finally. It’s been a long time coming and I’m sure this week will be equally as long,”

Rhoads said at a press conference Monday.

When the season does kick off Saturday night, both ISU and UNI fans will see their teams try to capitalize on speed, not power, to gain an advantage on the field.

The Panthers, who are picked to repeat as champions of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, return 18 starters — eight on offense, nine on defense, and one on special teams — from a 2010 team that finished 8-5 and was eliminated from the NCAA FCS Playoffs after a first-round loss

to Lehigh.

“Nobody has to tell our football team the challenge that they will be faced with this Saturday night,” Rhoads said. “UNI is a football team and a program that certainly understands how to win.”

Leading the eight starters on UNI’s offense is an experienced backfield led by dual-threat senior quarterback Tirrell Rennie, who in 2010 became the first quarterback in program history to pass and rush for

UNI.p3B >>

6. Drafts are won in the later rounds This isn’t all that different from the regular NFL Draft. Our resident fantasy “expert” told us his starting team in the title game last year didn’t feature any one of his first five picks.

The later rounds are time for sleepers and where you want to find the guys that make sense.

Last year Arian Foster was going in the late rounds, but someone had to get the carries in the high-octane Texans offense.

These aren’t fail-safe or guaranteed guidelines, but we believe these tips will only help you in your fantasy league this season. Hopefully, if you haven’t drafted, you’ll be able to avoid some of the pitfalls of every draft.

Like taking Tim Tebow or a player who’s suspended.

If you’ve already drafted, we’re sorry. Just save Tuesday’s paper and use it next year.

More work to be done for No. 18 Cyclones

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com This past weekend, the ISU volleyball team cruised to a 3-0 record at the Northern Illinois Invitational in Dekalb, Ill. No. 18 Iowa State (3-0) defeated Cincinnati (25-15, 26-28, 25-16, 25-16) on Friday, and IUPUI (25-13, 25-13, 2520) and Northern Illinois (21-25, 25-17, 25-18, 25-21) on Saturday.

“This weekend was a good chance to get the jitters out,” said senior Carly Jenson.

“Playing against Northern Illinois was tough, but we stayed relaxed and composed well.”

A few things were still up in the air for the Cyclones in terms of rotation and who would fit in where, but one thing that wasn’t a tossup was Jenson.

Over the weekend, Jenson racked up 47 kills while freshman Victoria Hurtt added 35 of her own. Both set career highs in kills against Northern Illinois, Jenson having 26 and Hurtt totaling 17. “[Jenson] has gotten better with her work ethic, determi-

On a defensive note, sophomore libero Kristen Hahn earned all-tournament rec-

ognition and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors.

This weekend Hahn racked up a total of 69 digs, including 30 against Northern Illinois, making her only the ninth player is ISU history to record 30 or more digs in a match.

“Hahn is doing a great job,” Jenson said. “She made alltournament and has really stepped up. She’s improved that much more at defense and serve-receive, and has helped a lot.”

This week the Cyclones will be preparing to have another string of games for the weekend at the Iowa State Challenge, which include Southern Miss, Arizona State and Iowa.

None of those teams are ranked inside the top 25, but no one is taking any of the teams lightly.

“I’ve beaten [Iowa] every time I’ve played them,” Jenson said. “I’m sure there will be a big crowd there, and I’m excited to keep that streak alive.”

Hahn shines defensively during weekend series

By Zach.Gourley @iowastatedaily.com

“She’s an awesome defender and we’ve always known that; she has very quick reactions,” Johnson-Lynch said of Hahn. “She has the libero personality that you like to see: high energy, kind of a sparkplug-type player. She’s like that naturally, so you don’t have to pull that out of her.”

As a result of Hahn’s efforts in DeKalb, the Cedar Rapids native was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week, the first conference honors of her career.

“I don’t really think about how many digs I get during a game, but a lot of balls came my way that I wasn’t expecting,” Hahn said. “It caught me off guard at first, but everyone did a good job playing their position.

“We’ve been practicing against our teammates so it was nice to see different hitters and their attacks and be able to defend them and pick up their hits and their tips.”

Hahn and teammates now have just a few day of practice remaining to prepare before they host the Iowa State Challenge in Ames on Friday and Saturday.

The Cyclones open the weekend’s action at noon on Friday against Southern Miss, followed by a 6 p.m. matchup with Arizona State.

The apex of this weekend’s action will come Saturday at 2 p.m. when the Cyclones take on the Iowa Hawkeyes at Hilton Coliseum.

Coming off an undefeated weekend for the ISU volleyball team, coach Christy JohnsonLynch critiqued her team’s 3-0 performance at a Monday news conference.

“We have to defend better, particularly team blocking,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I feel like we should be a pretty good blocking team. We’re pretty big, athletic and physical. Our blocking numbers are not where they need to be.”

The No. 18 Cyclones (3-0) averaged 1.82 blocks per set in their three matches in DeKalb, Ill., with Jamie Straube and Tenisha Matlock leading the team with seven blocks apiece on the weekend.

Though Johnson-Lynch said that blocking would be the focus of practice this week, the defense did have some bright spots, namely sophomore libero Kristen Hahn. “[Hahn] is just a fearless player, she’s really motivated and she works so hard,” said junior middle blocker Jamie Straube. “To see her have such a good performance is just a reflection of how hard she works every day in practice, so it’s really good to see that pay off for her.”

Hahn averaged 6.27 digs per set on the weekend, including a 30-dig performance against host Northern Illinois.

Notes: Senior wide receiver Darius Reynolds had the cast on his left foot removed yesterday as he will try and ready himself for Saturday’s opener. Rhoads said that Reynolds’ status for the opener is still questionable, but he will be doing aquatic therapy this week to try and speed up the recovery process.

Junior college transfer Henry Simon completed his physical yesterday and is expected to be on the practice field today. Rhoads said the 6’3 302 lb. junior will not play for the Cyclones on Saturday.

With the absence of Simon and freshman defensive lineman Quinton Pompey due to knee surgery, Rhoads announced that redshirt junior Jon Caspers has moved from offensive guard to defensive tackle.

In addition to starting quarterback Steele Jantz and wide receiver Aaron Horne, Rhoads anticipates that freshmen wide receivers Quenton Bundrage and Ja’Quarius Daniels, junior college transfer tight end Ernst Brun Jr. and freshman defensive back Jared Brackens will all be on the field for Saturday’s opener.

1,000 yards in the same season.

“They’re skill speed will match, I would think, a number of teams on our schedule because it’s national type of speed, it’s track speed, it’s [4x100] sprint relay speed and it will be a great challenge for our defenders to bottle those kids up,” Rhoads said.

Junior Carlos Anderson accompanies Rennie in the backfield and also is lethal in the return game, ranking 14th among FCS players with an average of 27.2 yards per kick return and two returns for scores last season.

“With UNI they might as well be a Big 12 team with the speed that they have,” said ISU junior linebacker Jake Knott. “Just watching them on film you can see the explosion, the quickness all of that stuff they have it so we’ve got to prepare for them just like a Big 12 team.”

On the ISU side of the ball, it’s not so much the personnel that will be relied on for gaining the edge on the perimeter but rather the tempo at which the offense runs plays.

Rhoads expects at times on Saturday that the ISU offense

will be aligned and ready to run a play even before the officials have the ball spotted.

“You never know from week to week how quick each crew will get that ball spotted, if they are doing that on time I think it will be noticeable to our fans the level at which we operate and execute,” Rhoads said.

According to sophomore running back Jeff Woody, during a scrimmage two weeks ago, a member of the ISU strength and conditioning staff timed the ISU offense as spending only 17 to 20 seconds in between the whistle signifying the end of a play and the snap of the ball for the next play.

At any point in the game, ISU offensive coordinator Tom Herman can relay a signal to the quarterback, which will indicate to the offense to change gears and start with what they call “Jet Tempo” to try and establish an offensive rhythm and keep the opposing defense off balance.

“The great thing about is we don’t know when it’s coming and thus the defense doesn’t know when it’s coming, so it’s a very useful tool,” Woody said.

Cyclone soccer undefeated on strength of goalie

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com

Defense is the name of the game so far in the 2011 Cyclone soccer season as Iowa State has now shutout its first four opponents of the season.

The most recent win for the Cyclones came against the No. 23 Washington Huskies by a score of 2-0 on Sunday. The Huskies (02-1) advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Championships in 2010.

The Cyclones most consistent aspect of the game has been their defense. The emphasis for the team’s defense has been to put high pressure on the ball, provide help defense when the other

team is attacking and to always stay active.

“It’s team defense and not just the back line,” said coach Wendy Dillinger. “A lot of our defense starts with our forwards putting pressure on their back line to prevent balls over the top. JD [sophomore Jennifer Dominguez], Britt [sophomore Brittany Morgan] and [freshman] Hayley [Womack] worked their tails off just to try to shut down the back line.”

Dillinger said the Cyclones have been building for this type of win and hopes that it will now earn Iowa State some respect on a national level.

Dillinger gives credit for the win to consistency and more efficient game management.

The Cyclones scored two goals against the Huskies within a 10-minute span. The second

goal, Dillinger said, was about teamwork and was exactly what the team needs to be ready to do at all times.

“We did everything right,” Dillinger said, referring to the goal. “We got behind the backs and JD outran the player to the corner, [sophomore] Margaret [Powers] blindsided her player, and Britt blindsided her player so we had three players doing exactly what they needed to do to create that goal.”

In addition to the players out in the field, Iowa State has been anchored by solid goalkeeping from sophomore Maddie Jobe. Jobe has a running streak of 550 straight minutes of play without a goal being allowed. “[My successes] just show how strong our

defense is getting,” Jobe said. “How you could see it at the end of last season and how we’ve come together and gotten better. The defense is a very close and connected group.”

Dillinger had nothing but praise for her goalie, and made it clear that her team has — and can — depend on her.

“Maddie is playing very, very well right now,” Dillinger said.

“She is very confident, putting herself in good positions and she is covering the goal well.

There was a dangerous play across the box and she saved. She had to dive to her back foot and she held it. If she doesn’t hold that ball, that’s a goal. We are very excited about the way she is playing right now.”

Bombings

Fear, soldiers fill streets in Nigerian capital

By Jon Gambrell The Associated Press ABUJA, Nigeria — After a series of bombings in Nigeria’s capital, bars popular with the nation’s elite now close by 10 p.m. Soldiers in flak jackets carrying assault rifles guard the oil-rich country’s only Hilton. And every day, nervous citizens think twice about heading to market or into the street.

Abuja, Nigeria’s modern city of paved highways and shining government buildings, now looks militarized as the nation struggles to cope with the bombings. The latest one, on Friday, killed 23 people at the headquarters of the United Nations.

Nigerians say they’re losing faith in the ability of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration to stop the killings, especially those committed by the radical Muslim sect that

claimed responsibility for the U.N. attack.

“Because of these bombings, one is afraid of entering places because you don’t know what will happen in the next hour,” Godwin Odgwu, 40, an accountant, said Monday.

“Everybody is afraid. ... They have employed suicide bombings and when you are trying (to stop) somebody that’s ready to die, how do you arrest him?”

Abuja, located in Nigeria’s center, has appeared to be under constant construction since becoming the capital of Africa’s most populous nation in 1991. New highways snake for miles outside of the capital, as red-clay construction sites for federal projects dot the city. Its order, near-constant electricity supply and parks serve as a stark contrast to the rest of the nation, where unemployment runs high and poverty strangles the masses

in a country that’s one of the top crude oil providers to the United States.

For years, Abuja served as an insulated bubble for politicians who control the billions of dollars that come from oil production. The country’s presidential villa, Aso Rock, remains shielded from public view by its mountain namesake.

But that peace has been shaken in the last 10 months.

At least 12 people were killed in a dual car bombing last year during celebrations for the nation’s 50th independence anniversary. A militant group from the country’s crude-producing southern delta claimed responsibility for that attack.

On Dec. 31, a bombing at a popular beer garden housed at a military base killed at least four people. No group stepped forward to take responsibility.

In June, a car bomb exploded at the federal police’s national

headquarters, killing at least two people. A radical Muslim group known locally as Boko Haram claimed responsibility for that bombing.

Jonathan visited the police headquarters after the bombing and said: “Security agencies are on top of the situation.”

The governing body for the capital ordered public parks to be closed at 6 p.m. and bars shut by 10 p.m. as police conducted more random searches and soldiers began guarding public buildings.

Those precautions failed to stop the suicide bomber who rammed through two sets of gates to reach the U.N. building’s glass reception hall.

There, the bomber detonated explosives powerful enough to bring down parts of the concrete structure and blow out glass windows from other buildings in the quiet Abuja neighborhood filled with diplomatic posts.

Libya

Gadhafi’s wife, 3 of his children flee to Algeria

By Ben Hubbard and Hadeel al-Shalchi The Associated Press TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi’s wife and three of his children fled Libya to neighboring Algeria on Monday, firm evidence that the longtime leader has lost his grip on the country.

Gadhafi’s whereabouts were still unknown and rebels are worried that if he remains in Libya, it will stoke more violence. In Washington, the Obama administration said it has no indication Gadhafi has left the country.

Rebels also said one of Gadhafi’s other sons, elite military commander Khamis, was probably killed in battle.

The Algerian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Gadhafi’s wife Safia, his sons Hannibal and Mohammed, and his daughter Aisha entered the country across the land border. It said Algerian authorities have informed the United Nations Secretary General, the presi-

dent of the U.N. Security Council, and the head of the Libyan rebels transitional leadership council.

Ahmed Jibril, an aide to rebel National Transitional Council head Mustafa AbdulJalil, said officials would “demand that Algerian authorities hand them over to Libya to be tried before Libyan courts.”

Gadhafi’s children played important roles in Libya’s military and economic life.

Hannibal headed the maritime transport company; Mohammed the national Olympic committee. Aisha, a lawyer, helped in the defense of toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the trial that led to his hanging.

Ahmed Bani, military spokesman of the council, said he was not surprised to hear Algeria welcomed Gadhafi’s relatives.

Throughout the six-month Libyan uprising, rebels have accused Algeria of providing Gadhafi with mercenaries to repress the revolt.

Over the weekend, the Egyptian news agency MENA, quoting unidentified rebel fighters, reported that six armored Mercedes sedans, possibly carrying Gadhafi’s sons or other top regime figures, had crossed the border at the southwestern Libyan town of Ghadamis into Algeria.

Algeria’s Foreign Ministry had denied that report.

Bani said Monday that rebel forces may have killed Khamis Gadhafi in a clash Saturday.

Rebel clashed with a military convoy near the town of Tarhouna, 50 miles southeast of Tripoli, destroying two vehicles in the convoy. The bodies in the cars were burned beyond recognition, he said, but captured soldiers said they were Khamis Gadhafi’s bodyguards.

“We are sure he is dead,” Col. Boujela Issawi, the rebel commander of Tarhouna, told AP. But then he cast some doubt, saying it was possible Gadhafi’s son was pulled alive from the car and taken to Bani

Asked how they knew this, since Bani Walid is still under regime control, he said: “We have some people there.”

Think massive hair, spaghetti-strap tanks and highwaisted jean shorts. This look has frequented my refreshed love of the ’80s. While I do think I’m beginning to look more and more like my mother, the high-waisted jean shorts are my current favorite look. When this style began to recycle itself this past spring, I had my doubts. It took me a few months to even accept the fashion enough to try them on.

After finally making the first move as a joke between friends, I found myself hooked.

An extremely faded wash gives my favorite pair a vintage look that pairs perfectly with a dark tank top or even an offthe-shoulder T-shirt tucked in. A long, statement necklace adds to my look in an attempt to elongate my height-challenged body. The completing step? A pair of wedges to dress up or my favorites TOMS to go to class. Go on, indulge your inner ’80s girl.

London police employ tough tactics for carnival

By David Stringer The Associated Press

usual, so the carnival could end before dark.

London’s Metropolitan Police said it believed the earlier finish “had a positive effect” on ensuring the event was “very peaceful.”

Police said they arrested 132 people on Monday and 82 on Sunday — lower than the 270 people detained a year earlier during the two-day event.

But as night fell Monday, police remained on the streets to help usher the merrymakers away from the parade route and disperse small groups that gathered. Overall, the scene appeared largely calm, but police reported one stabbing and a few dozen arrests.

Police said a man was found with stab wounds in the area and hospitalized in “serious condition,” with three men arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

Overall, the London Ambulance Service said it treated 241 carnival goers Monday and 253 people on

LONDON — It took extra police and earlier closing times, but London’s Notting Hill Carnival, Europe’s largest street festival, appeared to give the city what it had hoped for Monday: a chance to regroup and celebrate in the wake of the riots that had occurred in the capital earlier this month and swept across England.

The two-day carnival, launched in 1964, celebrates Caribbean culture and attracts about 1 million people with its mix of flamboyant dancers, colorful costumes, rousing steel bands and booming outdoor sound systems.

British police flooded the prosperous west London neighborhood of Notting Hill with extra officers and authorized the use of tough search powers on Sunday and Monday. Sound stages pumping out music also turned off at around 7 p.m., earlier than

Sunday for various ailments.

Last year, 706 people received medical treatment.

London Mayor Boris Johnson, who attended the carnival, had favored holding the event, despite the deadly violence, looting and arson that had hit the capital earlier this month. He predicted the

festivities could help bring Londoners back together.

The city’s Metropolitan Police said it invoked extensive search powers that allowed officers to stop people — and order them to remove hoods, masks or other disguises — if officers suspected there was a possibility of serious violence

in a specific neighborhood.

Police said about 6,500 officers were out on the streets on Monday — more than the number who were deployed on duty during April’s royal wedding.

Since the four nights of rioting that hit London, Manchester, Birmingham and

other English cities in early August, about 3,000 people have been arrested on suspicion of crimes during that mayhem, and many charged and jailed.

That rioting, sparked by a fatal police shooting in north London’s Tottenham area on Aug. 4, was the worst civil disturbance to hit Britain since the 1980s, and left a trail of looted stores, torched cars and burned-out buildings. Five people died, including three men hit by a car as they protected stores from looters in Birmingham.

Still, Johnson wanted the Notting Hill Carnival to be held, despite the risks and the expense of the security.

“It’s right that the carnival goes ahead so we can show the world that the overwhelming majority of London’s people are decent, law-abiding citizens who respect the law, love their city and want to celebrate our vibrant, diverse and historical culture,” he said.
