3 hospitalized Iowa players quit team IOWA CITY — When Iowa opens the season Saturday, three of the 13 players who were hospitalized after a now-scrapped weightlifting exercise in January won’t be on the team.

One walk-on player and two who were on scholarship quit the team following their hospitalization with rhabdomyolysis, a muscle disorder that caused discolored urine and extreme soreness, according to a report released this week by a committee appointed by President Sally Mason to investigate the injuries.

The walk-on quit before spring practice to concentrate on academics. One of the scholarship players left the team before spring practice, considered transferring and then stayed at Iowa but decided not to play football. The other completed spring practice but left the university for what the report described as unrelated personal reasons.

The report, e-mailed to the Iowa Board of Regents and posted online Tuesday, does not identify any of the players. The second player is believed to be reserve senior cornerback Willie Lowe, who had asked for a release from his scholarship last spring to consider transferring but later decided to remain enrolled at Iowa but not rejoin the team.

The committee concluded that all 13 players appear to have completely recovered.

CyRide is exploring ways to erase a $250,000 budget deficit, the effect of increased gas prices.

Anna Fox, Government of the Student Body senator and member of the CyRide Board of Trustees, said three possible solutions to counteract the budget deficit are to increase fares, service change options or local funding partner share increases.

One solution brought up at last week’s Government of the Student Body meeting by some members of the senate was to use funds from CyRide’s trust fund, which currently stands at $1.2 million.

Warren Madden, vice president of business and finance, said the CyRide board would have to approve the usage of the trust fund money.

Each year, GSB provides 61 percent of CyRide’s budget and the remaining 39 percent is provided by the city of Ames.

When student fees provide more money than what was originally budgeted, the surplus goes into the trust fund.

Madden said once the money is put into the trust fund, it becomes the board’s responsibility.

“Years when the enrollments go down, we take money out of the trust fund for that year. If there’s anything above our normal service rate, our board would need to approve it,” said Sheri Kyras, CyRide transit director.

Kyras said the two students who serve on the CyRide Board of Trustees act as the voice of the student body.

They participate in voting on whether or not to utilize the trust fund.

Fox said in the past, the trust fund money has been used for special projects, such as organizing a new route.

Tom Wacha, who serves on the Ames City Council and CyRide’s Board of Trustees, said he wasn’t at last week’s City Council meeting, but to his knowledge the council has not addressed the issue.

“I believe they are waiting for CyRide to come up with possible solutions before the City Council discusses any options,” Wacha said.

Kyras said the board would be presenting some new ideas it has to reduce the budget issue at a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1, in the City Hall Council Chambers.

She also said the transit board would meet again on September 22nd, to discuss the issue and possibly to make a decision during that meeting.

Big 12

Pollard reacts to A&M’s departure ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard released a statement on Wednesday regarding Texas A&M’s recently announced Pollard departure from the Big 12 Conference.

“It is unfortunate that Texas A&M is moving forward with plans to depart the Big 12,” Pollard said in a news release. “They have been highly competitive in the conference and represented our league well on the national stage. Although our preference is for them to stay in the Big 12, we wish them well in the future and respect their decision. The Commissioner, Presidents and Directors of Athletics are poised to move quickly and aggressively in studying alternatives for the conference.”

Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin officially released a statement Wednesday informing the Big 12 that the school’s membership in the conference would end on June 30, 2012, if it is accepted into another conference.

“We appreciate the Big 12’s willingness to engage in a dialogue to end our relationship through a mutually agreeable settlement,” Loftin said in the news release. “We, too, desire that this process be as amicable and prompt as possible and result in a resolution of all outstanding issues, including mutual waivers by Texas A&M and the conference on behalf of all the remaining members.”

Ice cream social welcomes students

By Ben.Theobald @iowastatedaily.com The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance and Friends, along with the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Student Services, hosted an ice cream social and open house Wednesday evening.

The purpose was to welcome new students and educate them about the history the program has had at Iowa State.

“We’re informing people that we do exist,” said Anna Howie, president of LGBTA. “We are opening communication between new and old students, as well as showing the services we have in the Ames community.”

There were many activities and

giveaways at the event, which was a way for students to socialize and learn what resources are available to them.

“Students know that they are not alone,” said Brad Freihoefer, director of LGBTSS. “There are many folks on campus who may share some experiences, identities or are just a part of a good community here at Iowa State.”

Sahid Taha, freshman in electrical engineering, was one of many ISU students who took part in the event.

“I love supporting the gay community and wanted to help out,” Taha said.

Mel Gibson makes peace with his baby’s mother The bitter child support and custody battle between Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva apparently reached a conclusion, with Gibson agreeing in court Wednesday to pay his ex-girlfriend $750,000 and share time with their young daughter.

The settlement, which was revealed in a Los Angeles courtroom Wednesday, also allows Grigorieva to remain in the home that Gibson has provided her until Lucia, who was born in October 2009, turns 18.

It then would be sold, with the money going into a trust for their child.

“Lucia was born out of love and she was a planned child,” Grigorieva lawyer Daniel Horowitz said after the hearing. “They both wanted another child. Oksana wanted a settlement for Lucia’s sake.”

Gibson entered a “no contest” plea in March to a misdemeanor battery charge relating to an incident last year involving Grigorieva. A plea deal put the actor on unsupervised probation for three years and it requires Gibson to complete 52 weeks of anger management counseling. It also allowed him to enter a no contest plea without admitting guilt.

‘Hangover 2’ stuntman claims brain damage doubling for Ed Helms An Australian stunt actor is suing Warner Bros. studio claiming he suffered permanent brain damage while working as Ed Helms’ stunt double for the filming of “Hangover 2,” court documents said.

Scott McLean, a veteran of dozens of movies and TV shows, was in a medically induced coma for two months after a high-speed, head-on collision.

McLean, who now lives in a Sydney rehabilitation facility, “suffers ongoing seizures, speech impediments, physical impediments, and brain trauma,” according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in a federal court in Los Angeles.

The lawsuit does not specify how much money McLean is seeking.

“Hangover 2” has grossed nearly $600 million worldwide since its release in May, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com.

Prince Harry coming to U.S. in October for army training Britain’s Prince Harry will be coming to America in October to train on Apache helicopter gunships in his role as a serving army officer, U.S. and British military officials reported Wednesday.

News of Harry’s U.S.-based training was reported last week, and specifics of his activities were announced Wednesday.

The prince — Capt. Harry Wales, to his comrades — will be training at the Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field in southern Arizona and at the Navy’s airfield in El Centro, California, starting the first week of October.

Harry is the younger son of Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, and the late Princess Diana. He served on the front line in Afghanistan as a forward air controller and saw combat, but was withdrawn in February 2008 after news of his deployment broke.

His brother, Prince William, is also an army officer. But as second in line for the throne, he is specifically barred from combat.

Anonymous buyer wants to take Kim Kardashian sex tape offline An anonymous client wants to buy the Kim Kardashian sex tape from the porn company that owns it so it can be taken off the websites where people now pay to view it, according to a lawyer.

The porn video, made with R&B singer Ray J, brought Kardashian celebrity and launched her reality show career, but she entered a new phase of her life with her marriage this month to NBA player Kris Humphries.

Nashville attorney Adam Dread confirmed to CNN he sent a letter to Vivid Entertainment on Monday asking to start negotiations for the sex tape’s sale.

Kardashian and her representative did not respond to CNN’s call for comment. A representative for Ray J also did not comment when contacted.

Dread’s letter to Vivid said his client “does not intend to distribute or broadcast the ‘tape,’ but hopes to completely remove it from the market.”

Ames offers organic options Healthy eating can be more sustainable

By Lea.Petersen @iowastatedaily.com Eating healthy is a popular topic these days with America’s ever-growing obesity epidemic, but when it comes to eating healthy, the debate between organic and non-organic is a heated discussion.

While an organic apple will have the same nutritional health profile as a nonorganic apple, Linda Johnson, general manager at Wheatsfield Cooperative, points out noticeable differences. “Organic produce is growth without pesticides, additions to soil or any type of spraying that might be added to crops,�

Johnson said. “Organic animal products, such as poultry, meats and milks, are made from animals that have been fed organically and have not has any antibiotic treatments.�

Iowa State has its very own organic farm run by undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and Ames community members. The ISU Student Organic Farm is open to everyone.

Paul Beamer, senior in horticulture, enjoys working at the Student Organic Farm for many reasons. He said organic farming practices are beneficial to a person’s health for three reasons: 1. There is no harmful residue left over on the food, 2. There is less oil used to manufacture and ship products and 3. There is no residue left over in the soil. “The great idea behind organic isn’t always just what is left over on our food, or how much energy was used to make it and ship it,� Beamer said. “Sometimes it’s the concept of preserving the present so our future can use it. If the soils are degraded and mistreated now, how will that affect Earth’s life in the future?�

Rachael Cox, graduate student in agronomy and officer of the Student Organic Farm, invites anyone interested in “learning and experiencing organic farming firsthand� to join. “Anyone can join and participate in the Student Organic Farm activities,�

Cox said. “The best way to get involved is to join our Listserv.�

During the vegetable-growing season, the group meets once a week. Currently, it is meeting Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 5:15 to 8 p.m. During the

Noodles & Company prepares to open

winter, Student Organic Farm meets monthly.

To join the Listserv, e-mail Cox at racox@iastate.edu.

Nick Brock, senior in kinesiology and health, said he thinks positively about organic foods. “I don’t currently eat organically, but would be open to the idea of adding more organic foods to my diet,� Brock said.

Brock, like many students, finds the extra cost of eating organically a deterrent. “Organic foods do have a price stigma to them,� Johnson said. “But farming organically is more sustainable to the environment because of the lack of pesticides and additives to the soil.�

For students looking to eat organically at a reasonable price, Johnson suggests shopping around. “Wheatsfield Cooperative is very price-conscience and offers weekly and biweekly sales that cut the prices of organic foods,� she said. “It is easy to eat organically while staying within budget.�

Students looking to “health up� their diets need not go 100 percent organic, but even the smallest bit of changes can do the body a lot of good.

By Sarah.Binder @iowastatedaily.com Noodles & Company, a restaurant chain providing a variety of dishes from around the world, is set to open at 400 S. Duff Ave. on Sept. 21.

Jill Preston, director of communications, said Noodles & Company restaurants tend to do particularly well in college towns. The company has more than 260 restaurants nationwide, with another 30 to be added yet this year. “What’s nice about it is the convenience and speed of fast food, but the quality is more comparable to a sit-down restaurant,� she said.

Noodles & Company fashions itself as an alternative to fast food, with prices around $7 and service within 5 minutes of ordering, Preston said, but also featuring a nicer atmosphere, such as serving food with real dishes and

silverware.

The company is also looking to hire local employees, between 20 and 40 people.

The menu: Noodles & Company’s menu features dishes from America, Asia, and the Mediterranean, all centered around the noodle. They offer a variety of soups, salads and appetizers. “It’s kind of like three menus rolled into one,�

Preston said, “I think that’s why we’ve been so popular.�

The menu is also friendly to special diets. Preston said of the 18 core dishes, 16 start out vegetarian, with the option to add chicken, shrimp or beef.

The company’s website offers more information for other diets, such as vegan, low-gluten, low-sodium or less than 500 calories.

The restaurant also offers to-go orders and a selection of beer and wine.

Meeting

GSB discusses residence halls

Bachmann touts jobs policy during her return to Iowa DES MOINES — Presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann pivoted her focus to jobs and the economy Wednesday during her first campaign appearance in Iowa since winning the leadoff caucus state’s Republican straw poll earlier this month.

With Texas Gov. Rick Perry now in the race and promoting his state’s job growth, Bachmann put jobs ahead of government spending cuts on a day in Des Moines that included private meetings with area business owners.

Bachmann urged the federal government to allow companies with cash holdings overseas to reinvest the money at home without paying taxes on those profits. She claims the change could quickly inject billions in investment into the U.S. economy. “They want to bring it back into the United States and create jobs here in Iowa, all across the country,� Bachmann said while appearing at a tea party rally in Des Moines. “Wouldn’t the smartest thing to do be to say to all of these companies, ‘Zero repatriation tax?’ “ It’s a popular notion with economic conservatives, but a study by the National Bureau

almost exclusively touted his state’s job growth and has recently pulled ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the lead in national polls. Romney, who ran for the GOP nomination in 2008, has focused primarily on jobs and the economy during his second bid.

Bachmann’s campaign spokeswoman Alice Stewart said Bachmann was not adjusting her approach in light of Perry’s entry into the race. “Reining in government spending, limited government and where she stands on the social issues: That’s why we won the straw poll,� Stewart said. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.�

Bachmann did not mention her opposition to gay marriage during Wednesday’s 20-minute talk in Des Moines. She did discuss the debt.

By Charles O’Brien Daily staff writer The Director of Residence, Pete Englin, was a keynote speaker at the Government of the Student Body meeting Wednesday night.

Pete Englin said the Department of Residence pays $10 million a year on mortgages that took place between 2003 and 2005.

Englin added that $3.3 million was spent on Willow Hall to improve climate control.

Englin said current facility reinvestment projects include new furniture in common areas, heat, as well as, smoke detection systems, surveillance and Internet upgrades.

Future goals include upgrades for bathrooms, windows, and improvement of student room furniture.

He said there are 4,400 incoming freshman and 1,800 transfer students expected for the 2012-2013 school year. “I don’t see us selling square feet, I see us selling the students an experience when they live in the dorm,�

Englin said.

He said 161 students are currently living in temporary housing and the University spends $7 to $8 million dollars on 2.9 million square feet of living space annually.

GSB allocated $1,000, a quarter of the total cost of the “Beat Iowa Bash,� which will take place Friday, September, 9th at Frederickson Court.

of Economic Research found similar policies to have little impact on employment when used in the past. Most of the money has been reinvested in stock buybacks and shareholder dividends, according to the study.

Bachmann, who had spent July and August railing against the federal deficit and raising the debt ceiling, was focusing on jobs as a rival for the nomination, Jon Huntsman, was releasing his jobs blueprint.

But Bachmann’s steppedup jobs rhetoric comes as the campaign’s landscape has changed since she won the Aug. 13 Iowa GOP straw poll on an outpouring from Christian and tea party conservatives.

The biggest change has been the rise of Perry, who entered the race the day of the straw poll and has since vaulted to the top of national polls.

Earlier in the day, Bachmann told Fox News that Perry’s rise was due in part to his newness to the race.

Bachmann leapt to near the top of the polls in Iowa shortly after entering the race in June. “Of course, it’s natural when you have a new candidate come in, that sucks a lot of the oxygen out of the room,�

Bachmann said during the Fox interview.

It is the largest studentrun LGBQTA conference in the country.

The conference started at Iowa State in 1993 and came back to Ames again in 2004.

Howie is looking forward to incoming students as new perspectives. “We’re going to need a lot of assistance,� Howie said. “We will open up all the networks to make the conferences as big and wonderful as possible.�

Freihoefer sees the conference as a learning opportunity for students. “It is an incredible experience,� Freihoefer said. “There will be LGBQTA issues and opportunities to network with each other and learn. It really concentrates on the community-building and identity development.�

Patience key for State Gym renovation The renovations to State Gym are not yet complete. The facility should be open again when the spring semester rolls around, but until then we’re stuck with Lied, Beyer and whatever other space you can find around campus.

The reason is an apparent shortage of the zinc necessary for the walls of the addition.

While we’re displeased with the university and the contractor for failing to ensure that all the materials they need for the project are available, the situation was handled well. Instead of charging students their nearly $90 athletic fee, the university will refund it if the Board of Regents give their approval, and the contractor is exploring the feasibility of options other than zinc. Hopefully this situation is used in the future as a model for handling interruptions in campus construction — Lord knows there’s always something going on.

Until State Gym is reopened, we should be patient. The renovations weren’t some public relations stunt the administration conjured up to sell itself to prospective students and their parents. The impetus for renovations came from student requests for workout facilities on the West side of campus coupled with the administration’s desire to improve students’ well-being.

To refresh your memory, almost exactly two years ago this newspaper reported the State Gym addition will have a “gymnasium, fitness and freeweights area, aquatic facilities and recreational pool, jogging and walking track, group exercise and multi-purpose activity rooms, climbing wall and a vending area.”

Updated parts of the older section of the building will include improvements to the “gymnasium handrails and floor, outdoor recreation, club sports rooms, fitness assessment area and areas for equipment storage and laundry.”

That’s a lot of improvements. Be grateful. As the Daily’s editor-in-chief noted upon seeing the construction site, “There’s so much going into this place. It’s not even believable.”

The way the administration has handled its inability to open State Gym demonstrates at least some effort on their part to appease the student population and keep us informed about their progress, or lack thereof. But, we still feel that we should be more informed about how the renovations are progressing. If you recall, asking for student input was a major part of planning the improvements.

We were disappointed to hear about the delay in reopening State Gym, but we must say, it is good to hear that the university is working on alternatives and actually refunding some money to students. It is nice to see the university near completion on a project that incorporates student input and is reasonably fair to students’ wallets, too.

The definition of conservatism does not reference religion, a prerequisite for many modern conservatives.

Crash course on conservatism Read beyond flashy rhetoric for true reason

G

iven the recent straw poll, the upcoming caucuses and the 2012 election, there have been a lot of political “buzzwords” floating around: our “socialist” president, the democratic “liberals,” the religious “conservatives,” fascists, communists, -ists, -ists, -ists...

The problem is, most of these labels are completely incorrect. The post-modern era has assigned its own meaning to these words that, in turn, strips them of any meaning at all.

I am aware that not everyone has the chance to take a political theory course before they carelessly throw around and mutilate these schools of political thought; however, I can only hope our politicians have taken the time to read up on it, as they obviously haven’t.

Therefore, throughout my next few columns I am going to take us through a sort of “-ism 101: Crash course on political theory.”

Since we just got to witness Michele Bachmann’s totally meaningful and deserved win at the straw poll, with her ability to say “Iowa” the most and her deep and profound rhetoric on why she should be allowed to shove her individual religious beliefs down everyone else’s throats — we’ll start off with conservatism.

Conservatism (as defined by MerriamWebster): 1- a: the principles and policies of a Conservative party, b: the Conservative

By Jessica.Bruning @iowastatedaily.com party. 2- a: disposition in politics to preserve what is established, b: a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change... 3- the tendency to prefer an existing or traditional situation to change.

I would agree with all of these things; nowhere do I see anything about religion being a pre-cursor to conservatism, anything smiting the gays for their unnatural desire to love whom they please or suddenly cutting out resources to public institutions. It seems pretty basic: a smaller government and a desire to thoroughly evaluate decisions before implementing change. I can respect these things.

Edmund Burke is known for his theories on conservatism. He advocated for a “prudent willingness to change in order to conserve” rather than a blind resistance to change. I think that this way of looking at conservatism gives it a bit more credibility than its stereotype of old rich men who long for the “good ole days,” and instead credits it with prudence, carefulness and forethought. We need this sort of thinking

in the world. We need people who are able to look at things logically and carefully to balance out the people who act on passion and emotion.

Burke believed that authority develops naturally as people look to one another for guidance and support, and that government should be “limited in the sense that it cannot try to change human beings.”

This would be conducive to the idea that the government should have a limited role in individual’s private lives. This has always been something for which I have believed the rightwing conservatives to have always advocated.

This is why their very heated opposition of same-sex marriage has always confused me.

Shouldn’t tax breaks and a “live and let live” motto work in nicely to the conservative ideals?

It is when we start letting religion and private biases into our politics, which is purely a public matter, whereas religion is private, that the true essence of conservatism is distorted.

It is each individual’s own prerogative to determine what principles should guide their lives, but once those principles invade other people’s lives the true meaning of conservatism is abolished.

Keep an eye out next week for the exciting world of liberalism! Here’s a clue: It doesn’t have as much to do with tree-hugging environmentalists as you think is does.

Letter

Unpandering Paul ignored by media Ron Paul’s message is popular.

This is undisputable. I was at the Ames Straw Poll on Aug. 13, and I think it’s fair to say he had the most prominent support.

He essentially tied with Michele Bachmann (she won first by less than 1 percent with each receiving a record amounts of votes). More importantly, you can see support for Paul’s message by looking at the comments section of political articles or videos.

Look at the results of any online presidential candidate poll. Take note of the fact that active military members have overwhelmingly donated to the Paul campaign compared with any other candidate including Obama.

However, the most obvious news in the Paul community right after the Ames Straw Poll was the blatant lack of just that ... news.

This should bother everybody, Paul supporter or not, and I’ll try to explain why.

The obvious fair and expected reaction in the days right after the straw poll would be that he gets almost as much attention as Bachmann. In 2007 with a much more distant, although unexpected, second place, Mike Huckabee received plenty of media attention.

This has not been the case for Paul. Bachmann was featured in a handful of high-profile TV interviews the day after the Ames Straw Poll. Paul? None.

Early on, some news headlines acknowledged “Bachmann wins, Paul close second” but they became more and more rare as headlines like “Bachmann wins straw poll; Perry enters race” and “Michele Bachmann wins Ames

John Sedig is a senior in computer engineering

Straw Poll, Tim Pawlenty gets third” became the norm.

Some may say I’m “whining” because my chosen candidate missed out on a little bit of media coverage. Well it wasn’t a “little bit.” And I’m here to educate, not whine.

Hopefully, you are as curious as I am as to why Ron Paul has been highly ignored by the media. This was most obvious in a CNN discussion shortly after the straw poll, which began with the host saying, “We are in the business of kicking candidates out of the race.” Then a Politico guest says that the media avoids Paul because, and this is the key statement, “The media doesn’t believe Ron Paul has a hoot in hell’s chance of winning the Iowa caucuses, winning the Republican nomination or winning the presidency, so we’re going to ignore him.”

Did you catch that? The media ignores Ron Paul because they believe he is unelectable! I think you should feel insulted. You should feel insulted that the mainstream media thinks you cannot think for yourself. That you cannot decide on your own who you believe is the right person to become president.

That you will not decide who is electable. They will decide who is electable for you.

This is not an uncommon theme among political analysts, devout Republicans and Democrats, and those who are unfamiliar with what Ron

Photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, speaking in Des Moines last Saturday, is largely ignored because the media think’s he’s unelectable.

Paul is all about to say that he is “unelectable.”

But where did that notion come from? Do people decide that after watching him speak, really understanding his message or reading one of his books? Or do they get that idea because they “heard” he was “unelectable”?

It should be apparent that this is a big deal. Why shut him out when he’s obviously popular with many people, has a top-notch campaign and can fundraise with the best? What is there to be afraid of?

Ron Paul is a steadfast protector of the people, not government or corporate interests. He does not pander and he won’t tell you what you want to hear. Instead, he will tell you what he thinks you need to hear.

Imagine how threatening that may seem to those well-connected big shots who depend on political games, when someone who refuses to play along is heading toward

the White House. Lobbyists avoid his congressional office because they know there’s no point. He’s too principled.

Notice I haven’t even gotten to his issues. The issues are secondary. First and foremost, Ron Paul is not about Republican vs. Democrat or even Republican vs. Republican. It’s about freedom and liberty vs. the status quo.

A principled statesman vs. the establishment. The people vs. the government.

Ron Paul has had the same messages since he entered Congress in the ‘70s. This election cycle, many discussions have moved toward his unchanging discussions such as the Federal Reserve. Others are pandering.

Ron Paul is not.

You owe it to yourself to really find out what Paul supporters find so appealing. Understand why the issues are often secondary to his quality. Be sure to watch some videos. Google Ron Paul.

CYCLONE SOCCER HEADS TO MINNEAPOLIS iowastatedaily.com

Pro basketball:

NBA lockout: Players, owners meet in Manhattan NEW YORK — There’s still time for a deal to keep the entire NBA season intact, though it’s running out.

And with that in mind, owners and players realize it’s time to stop talking about each other, and start talking to each other.

They returned to the bargaining table Wednesday, meeting for about six hours in just their second bargaining session since the league’s lockout began on July 1.

“Everyone loses if we don’t reach an agreement, that’s something that I think has always been understood,” union president Derek Fisher of the Lakers said. “But as we approach Sept. 1 and obviously the training camp schedule to start on Oct. 1, the urgency is just continuing to build and increase on both sides, and we’re going to remain focused on finding a way to get this done.”

Neither side offered any specifics or would say if progress was made, but said they plan many more meetings in hopes of having basketball begin without interruption.

“I don’t see any benefit to characterizing our positions,” Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said, a thought repeated frequently by both sides.

“I will say we are not apart in terms of an agreed urgency on getting a deal done and we’re not apart on the need to avoid missing games and we’re not apart on the agreed impact that will have, not just on our teams and our players, but the communities in which they operate in as well.”

Commissioner David Stern and San Antonio owner Peter Holt, head of the labor relations committee, also represented the owners at a Manhattan hotel.

MLB:

Feds drop remaining charges against Bonds SAN FRANCISCO — Federal prosecutors on Wednesday dropped all the remaining charges against Barry Bonds, days after a judge upheld the slugger’s conviction on an obstruction of justice count.

The U.S. attorney’s office in San Francisco filed court papers informing U.S. District Judge Susan Illston it was dismissing the three charges of making false statements still pending against Bonds, Major Leader Baseball’s all-time home runs leader. A jury deadlocked on the three counts at Bonds’ trial in April.

The deadline for prosecutors to start the process for a retrial on those charges was about 30 days away. Now, Bonds won’t face a new trial on accusations that he lied to a grand jury back in 2003 when he testified that he never knowingly received steroids or human growth hormone from trainer Greg Anderson, and that no one other than his doctors ever injected him with anything.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Parrella declined comment.

It’s not easy to replace two All-Americans, but the Cyclones’ young talent is making the transition to Big 12 volleyball rather smoothly.

Freshman outside hitter Victoria Hurtt joins setter and defensive specialist Taylor Goetz as well as middle-back Tory Knuth. Those three make up the No. 25 recruiting class to start the season.

Outside hitter Hannah Willms also will be playing her first official season after redshirting during her first season in Ames.

Knuth comes in as the 2010 Des Moines Register Player of the Year. The Johnston native was named to the All-State team every season during high school.

She didn’t play in the team’s opening weekend, but coach Christy Johnson-Lynch knows she is going to be effective in the future.

“We’re still evaluating her and seeing what we want to do with her this year,” Johnson-Lynch said.

“She’s going to be really, really good.”

The speed of the game from high school to college has been the toughest thing for the Knuth to adjust to.

“It’s a lot faster than high school,” Knuth said. “Just learning to adjust to how quick the game goes has been hard for me.”

Hurtt, a Kansas City, Mo., native, led Archbishop O’Hara to four straight state championships before being named a 2010 PrepVolleyball.com AllAmerican. She’s made an impact at Iowa State right from the beginning. Through the first three games, Hurtt finished with 35 kills, including a 17-kill performance against Northern Illinois.

She had nine kills in the victory against Northern Illinois in the season opener, which is the most kills for a freshman in her collegiate debut since teammate Rachel Hockaday recorded 11 in her debut in September 2008.

Goetz, from Ankeny, boasts a pair of state titles of her own in 2008 and 2009. She was able to find playing time in the Cyclones season opener against Northern Illinois.

“Right now, she’s our backup setter and is playing [defensive specialist] as well,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think she can contribute. She didn’t get many opportunities, but when she had them she did a really nice job with that.”

Willms took a redshirt for her freshman season, but also was highly recruited coming out of high school.

The redshirt freshman from Waterloo was the No. 37 overall ranked prospect coming out of DikeNew Hartford and was also named the Des Moines Register’s Female Athlete of the Year in 2009.

Through the first three games, Willms totaled nine kills with a hitting percentage of .160.

With plenty of talent and experience around her, Knuth has been able to pick up the system quickly and smoothly.

“The freshmen, as well as any of the upperclassmen, have been a big help to look up to,” Knuth said.

“Everyone has been a good role model and a big help at practice.”

The heights of the players is something Goetz is going to have to adjust to as the season goes along.

The average height of a collegiate defensive specialist is 6 feet 2 inches, which leads to different kinds of sets.

“I have to get used to the different types of sets for different players because the players are a lot taller now,” Goetz said. “The main thing they’ve been telling me is to have high hands and shoot it high but fast, so the hitters can get on it.”

The ISU volleyball team will open its home schedule this Friday at noon against Southern Mississippi, followed by a 6 p.m. match-up with Arizona State.

The No. 19 Cyclones (3-0) opened their 2011 season last weekend with three wins at the Northern Illinois Invitational over Cincinnati, IUPUI and Northern Illinois.

“I like our start to the season,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “There is some room for improvement, but I feel like we have a nice core out there right now. It’s going to be a busy week for us, but I like where we’re at.

I really like our start to the season.”

Southern Mississippi (3-0) is coming off a weekend in which it won the Southern Miss Invitational on its home court by defeating Chattanooga, Northwestern State and Jackson State, dropping just one set all weekend.

“I don’t know what we have in competition in Southern Mississippi; I do know that they’ve always been pretty good,” said sophomore libero Kristen Hahn. “We’re all really excited to play at home and see what kind of crowd we can bring out on Friday. Hopefully we get a lot of students out.”

“They have a great coach, I know some of the players just from watching them in club. We’re going to have to play really well to beat them,” Johnson-Lynch said.

“They’re not going to make a lot of mistakes. They aren’t going to let us off the hook with a lot of errors. We’re going to have to play well to have a shot.”

Regardless of who their competition might be, several Cyclone players said they were just ready to play in front of a home crowd again for the first time all year.

“We had the scrimmage here, but that’s just not the same as a game,” said junior setter Alison Landwehr.

“We’re definitely ready to show what we have coming off an undefeated weekend.

We want to come back and show our fans what we’ve been working on and where we stand.”

The Cyclones will open Iowa State Invitational play at noon on Friday in Hilton Coliseum against Southern Mississippi.

Creating art in streets

By Sarah Binder Ames247 Writer

Art Vongphakdy wants to make a name for himself in the fine art world — and he’s not afraid to take the fast track by putting that name up large, on buildings.

The junior in integrated studio arts has been involved with graffiti since he was 14.

“Just the feeling of working at night, the thrill of it — there’s nothing like it,” he said.

Though he credits “teenage angst” for his entrance into the graffiti culture in Sioux City, Vongphakdy now says the art form has had a major impact on his life and work. His current projects in

illustration, painting and metalworking are influenced by the energetic, attention-grabbing forms of graffiti.

He’s not the only one who sees a connection between street-culture and high art.

“What has started to happen on an international level has been a great deal of visibility and study of graffiti as an art form,” said Ingrid Lilligren, interim director of the integrated studio arts program. “It is becoming much more widely accepted.”

For example, the Museum of Contemporary Arts, Los Angeles, recently had a major exhibition of graffiti and street art.

Lilligren also said graffiti has a high degree of visibility around the world, because trains bring it to rural areas and the Internet makes images instantly accessible.

Beautifying the streets

Vongphakdy created a mural for a storefront in Sioux City, Iowa, this summer.

“The world is our gallery,” Vongphakdy said.

“We just want to create art for our streets, maybe brighten someone’s day as they’re walking to work.”

He said he sees a lot of potential for this type of beautification in Ames, and would like to see

Thursday, Sept. 22

File photo: Iowa State Daily Envy Corps’ guitarist and singer Brandon Darner performs on Central Campus last Homecoming.

The band released its new album, “It Culls You,” two weeks earlier than scheduled.

The Envy Corps releases album early Because of a glitch in the online pre order system, Ames band The Envy Corps’ second album released a full two weeks earlier than scheduled.

According to guitarist Brandon Darner, the band had planned to release a week earlier than the scheduled date, Sept. 9, anyway. The band quickly decided to announce the early release and have made the album available on their website.

“It’s more important for people to hear the music and get it out there than it is for us to sit on it,” Darner said, explaining the band’s decision.

“It Culls You” has taken the band in a different direc-

The ugly side of graffiti art Iowa State’s facilities planning and management department doesn’t share the view that graffiti art is separate from vandalism or gang markings.

“As soon as it starts, it breeds more, so we try to get the graffiti — or art, whatever you want to call it — removed as soon as possible,” said Les Lawson, manager of Facilities Planning and Management.

Lawson said since last August, there have been 37 work orders related to graffiti on campus, resulting in a total of 131.6 man hours and $8,588 to remove it.

Vongphakdy said that ideally, a graffiti artist would work with the permission of the building owner. Lilligren also said this was an area of emphasis at the Museum of Contemporary Arts show.

Making a name Vongphakdy has landed some major projects that are examples of perfectly legal graffiti.

Through ISU Design West, he spent the summer working on a commissioned mural in downtown Sioux City, and he received a FOCUS grant for an exhibition in the Memorial Union last spring.

“Don’t be afraid to try new things,” he said as his advice to aspiring artists. “Be bold.”

the city consider establishing a public graffiti wall to allow for self expression. He said a similar program in Sioux City was a positive influence.

He said an artist, however, would have to go beyond that wall to gain respect. This is where the legality of graffiti comes into question, but in Vongphakdy’s mind, the line is clear.

“You can tell the difference between vandalism and artwork,” he said. “A piece of artwork takes time, takes effort and it has an underlying metaphor, a message.”

tion than their debut album on Vertigo Records, “Dwell.”

“When we started writing, we knew we wanted it to sound different than ‘Dwell,’” said vocalist and founding member Luke Pettipoole. “We approached song writing [on ‘It Culls You’] differently than in the past.”

One major difference since “Dwell” is the loss of the label, Vertigo Music. The band has self-released its latest album, and members are pleased with the results. Pettipoole said the music is deeply layered, with samples and tracks to help fill out the sound.

“I’m extremely happy with it, it was just a breeze to make,” Darner said. “Everyone was very much together with this new idea.”

Sound engineer A.J. Mogis, who has worked with bands such as Cursive, Bright Eyes and The Faint, mixed and mastered the new album. He also approved of the band’s new direction.

“I like the older stuff, too, but what they’re doing now is taking them in an interesting direction,” Mogis said. “There are a lot of fun songs to listen to on the record.”

Now that its new album is released, The Envy Corps is working on maintaining itself as an independent artist. The band now handles its own funding, promotion, studio and tour schedule.

“We’re in the best times we’ve had as a band,” Darner said. “We’re just a band that likes to do things ourselves.”

Q: When did you start playing the drums?

A: I got started in drumming, actually, at my high school. I went to a military academy and they have a Scottish pipe band, so I actually started drumming there, playing the snare.

Q: Do you play any other instruments?

A: Yeah, I play piano. I took lessons for about 10 years, mainly because that’s what my mom does for a living. So I always had access to

a relatively nice piano and some pretty good teachers.

Q: What was the Mumford’s national tour like?

A: The Mumford’s tour is one of the best experiences of my life. I went on tour with them before, back in the spring. It was a week tour. This tour was about twice as long. It was a six-week tour, but I didn’t get to go on the whole thing. The two weeks that I did go on were absolutely fantastic.

Q: Do you play in any other bands?

A: Utopia Park... There’s a blues project that [Dylan Boyle, former Iowa State Daily employee, and I are] going to be putting together. It’s a lot of fun. Dylan’s a great musician.

Q: When is your next performance?

A: During the Maximum Ames Music Festival, which is Sept. 22 through Sept. 25. I don’t actually know what venue we’re going to be playing at or which days we’re playing, but you can find out that information at maximumamesfest.com or on Facebook.

With Labor Day weekend approaching, students feel the need to rush out of town for entertainment, however this year that is no longer the case.

Ames will be hosting the All-American Weekend, with events throughout the weekend.

The weekend begins with the Deuces Wild dueling piano fundraising concert Friday night. The event, sponsored by the Ames Foundation, will feature David Charles Eichoch and Ted Manderfield, two self-taught pianists as they perform a comedic concert including country, rap, classic rock, and show tunes.

Joyce Vegge saw the duo perform in Minnesota last October and said she was “very impressed by their versatility.”

“They play saxophone, guitar and one of them even does a well-done Sir Elton John impersonation,” Vegge said.

Music

“After the show, I said ‘They have to come to Ames.’”

On Saturday, various classic cars will compete in the Vintage Car Show on Main Street. Along with the car show, the Farmer’s Market will showcase fresh produce until 1 p.m..

On the corner of Burnett Avenue and Fifth Street, vendors such as Down Home Cooking, Big Dawgs, as well as Andy’s BBQ will be participating in the BBQ Bash.

Barbecued ribs, pulled-pork sandwiches and other barbecue staples will be offered.

At 11 a.m., five professional barbecuing teams from three different states will be competing for $10,000 in prizes at the BBQ Pitmasters competition. Finals will be held Sunday, September 4th.

“Every year, [the barbecue] is different,” said Sonya Stolze Newstrom, one of the coordinators of the event. “This year is looking like it’s going to be the best yet.”

Along with the barbecue, homemade ice cream will be provided by Sweet Treats.

The weekend will come to a close at the Olde Main Brewing Co. for a Beverage Garden, which will feature live music provided by the rockabilly blues band Eldorado.

As Labor Day weekend in Ames will be full of entertainment, food, and friends, be sure to stay in town and enjoy.

Musicians prep for recitals Recitals are a big thing in music majors’ lives. They need to be planned out in advance, and students must reserve a spot for the recital hall, prepare the music, practice, and advertise.

Beginning in September, music majors will begin this year’s season of senior recitals at the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall.

A recital is a musical performance that usually specializes in one composer’s music and is accompanied by a piano. A recital can be a solo performer or a group of performers.

Jocelyn Ascherl, senior in music, said she has been preparing for her recital by picking out music from her repertoire, working with text and language, making sure her diction is correct, and working on perfecting the songs with her vocal teacher. “[I do] a lot of table work on the history of the composers and also lay out the sets and see what they’re really about and see how the songs intermingle with each other,” Ascherl said.

Ascherl’s recital is Sept. 24 starting at 4:30 p.m. at the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall. She will be singing pieces by Handel, Wols, Chaminade, Mozart, Dominick Argento, and she will be singing a musical

theater set as well.

Along with Ascherl, Ben Millar, senior in music, is practicing for his recital, which will be a joint performance with fellow vocalist and senior in music Colin Morgan.

“We will be splitting [the recital]. We each will be doing solo pieces and then some duets,” Millar said.

As a duo, Millar and Morgan will be singing pieces by Schubert and numbers from the musical “The Book of Mormon.”

As a soloist, Millar will be singing several French poems by Debussy, Dupont, and Bellini. Millar said his practice consists of analyzing the different languages “so that I know what I’m singing about.”

“I try to listen to as many recordings as possible, at least two or three so I can get a different idea of how other people have done it. It also helps with the language,” Millar said.

Millar and Morgan’s recital is Dec. 3 in the recital hall.

Mike Givens, senior in music, will also be performing foreign songs. His recital will include pieces in English, German, French and Italian.

“Listening to the pieces is the most effective way of learning your pieces,” Givens said. “I spend a decent amount of hours in the practice rooms, I spend some time outside memorizing lyrics. I go

through the songs in different languages to make sure I know what they’re saying.”

Givens’ recital will be Dec. 10 at 3 p.m. in the recital hall. “[Recitals are] like studying for a test, except it’s for vocalists and other musicians,” said Jacquie Evans, senior in music. “You practice the songs, you learn them and generally, you’ll start having more voice lessons and coaching. You’ll start solidifying it and perfecting your pieces.”

Evans has been working on pieces by Fauré, Edvard Grieg, Frank Martin and Stephen Sondheim. Her recital will be Dec. 3 at 5:30 p.m. at the recital hall.

While Ascherl, Millar, Morgan, Givens and Evans are vocal music majors, Michael Bagby, senior in music, puts just as much effort into his senior recital for his instrumental music major. His recital will include pieces by Franz Liszt, Gershwin, Rachmaninoff and Mozart. “[I] definitely listen to other recordings,” Bagby said. “I always listen to the golden performers like Horowitz and see if they have a recording online that I can listen to.”

Bagby’s performance will be Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the recital hall.

There are many more senior recitals going on this year, which can be found on the Music Hall Events Calendar.
