A flotilla of rescue vessels, mean- while, led by the U.S. hospital ship Comfort, converged on the capital. They are helping fill gaps in still lag- ging global efforts to bring water, food and medical help to hundreds of thou- sands of people who are surviving in makeshift tents or simply on blankets or plastic sheets under the tropical sun. The strongest tremor since Haiti’s cataclysmic Jan. 12 earthquake struck at 6:03 a.m., just before sunrise, while many were still sleeping. The 5.9-mag- nitude aftershock lasted only seconds but panicked thousands of Haitians. “Jesus!” they cried as rubble tum- bled and dust rose anew from govern- ment buildings around the plaza. Par- ents gathered up children and ran. Up in the hills, where U.S. troops were helping thousands of homeless, people bolted screaming from their tents. Jajoute Ricardo, 24, came running from his house, fearing its collapse. “Nobody will go to their house now,” he said, as he sought a tent of his own. “It is chaos, for real.” A slow vibration intensified into side-to-side shaking that lasted about eight seconds — compared to last week’s far stronger initial quake that seemed to go on for 30 seconds. Throngs again sought out small, ramshackle “tap-tap” buses to take them away from the city. On Port-au- Prince’s beaches, more than 20,000 people looked for boats to carry them down the coast. But the desperation may actually be deeper outside the capital, closer to last week’s quake epicenter. “We’re waiting for food, for wa- ter, for anything,” Emmanuel Doris- Cherie, 32, said in Leogane, 25 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince. Homeless in Leogane lived under sheets draped across tree branches, and the damaged hospital “lacks everything,” Red Cross surgeon Hassan Nasreddine said. The death toll was estimated at 200,000, according to Haitian govern- ment figures relayed by the European Commission, with 80,000 buried in mass graves. The commission raised its estimate of homeless to 2 million, from 1.5 million, and said 250,000 people needed urgent aid. “It is like working in a war situation,” said Rosa Crestani of Doctors Without Borders at the Choscal Hospital. “We don’t have any morphine to manage pain for our patients.” The damaged hospitals and emer- gency medical centers set up in Port- au-Prince needed surgeons, fuel for generators, oxygen and countless other kinds of medical supplies, aid groups said. Wednesday’s aftershock, the stench of the lingering dead, and the tears and upstretched hands of helpless Haitians made clear that the country’s tragedy will continue for months and years as this poor land counts and remembers its losses. After the tremor’s dust settled, street merchant Marie-Jose Decosse walked past the partly collapsed St. Francois de Salles Hospital in Carrefour Feuille, one of the worst-hit sections of town. She raised her arms to the sky, and spoke for millions. “Lord have mercy, for we are sin- ners! Please have mercy on Haiti,” she shouted. By Jody Korthaus Daily Staff Writer The new year brings new changes in the test- ing services in regard to the new HIV testing pro- cedure at Thielen Student Health Center. In the past, HIV testing has been offered free of charge at the Student Health Center, but because of changes made by the State of Iowa, the health center cannot continue the testing for free. “We use to qualify to be a site, but because of changes in the program we no longer qualify,” explained Michelle Hendricks, director of Thiel- en Student Health Center. According to Hendricks, the State of Iowa is only going to fund sites with the free HIV testing that serve an at risk population of 80 percent. The Thielen Student Health Center has never tested more than 20 percent, so it doesn’t come anywhere close to the new regulation. Along with having to serve a high risk area, Iowa will also require that free hepatitis B testing is given as well. Unlike the HIV testing, which is performed as a cheek swab in the center, hepatitis B testing requires blood to be drawn. Thielen would not be able to offer it because it’s not a lab. Though HIV testing isn’t free at the health center, it is still available with a scheduled doc- tor’s appointment. In making a doctor’s ap- pointment, you and your physician will be able to go over your risk exposure and receive an in-depth assessment to conclude what tests are necessary. “The main thing for me is that if a student believes they have had at risk exposure and need testing, they can absolutely be seen at the health center and have a conversation with a physician and discuss what testing they should get done. It’s true that, that one test is going to have a charge for it where we were able to offer it for free before, but if you look at the total benefit of the testing outcome, I think that adding it to that visit will actually be a benefit to the student that ends up being a more comprehensive test,” Hendricks said.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A frightening new aftershock Wednesday forced more earthquake survivors to live on the capital’s streets or sent them fleeing to perhaps even worse condi-tions in the countryside.
A flotilla of rescue vessels, mean-while, led by the U.S. hospital ship Comfort, converged on the capital. They are helping fill gaps in still lag-ging global efforts to bring water, food and medical help to hundreds of thou-sands of people who are surviving in makeshift tents or simply on blankets or plastic sheets under the tropical sun.

A new design for the CyRide hybrid busses has been chosen by the city in an online poll.
The new busses, nicknamed “Cybrids,” will bear the gold leaf design after it won 60.3 percent in the poll.
“More than 80,000 people voted, which truly illustrates the community’s interest in CyRide’s image and in ‘living green,’” Transit Director Sheri Kyras said.
CyRide was one of 42 transit agencies nation-wide to receive federal funding to upgrade diesel busses in order to reduce greenhouse gas emis-sions and fuel consumption. CyRide received $1.6 million through this program.
The hybrid busses work in a similar manner to hybrid cars, using electric motors for low speeds and switching to diesel engines at higher speeds.
According to a news release from CyRide, hy-brid buses are ideal for serving Ames residents because of the low speeds and frequent stops on CyRide routes. CyRide hopes using the new buses will result in significant fuel savings and green-house gas reductions.
CyRide is working to develop materials for the Ames public explaining the benefits of the hybrid busses to carbon emission reduction.
CyRide will have the largest hybrid fleet in Iowa once the buses are delivered.

They plan to debate and come to agreement over issues regard-ing religion on campus.
Alex Anderson, Interfaith’s Catholic council member and junior in physics, said the Inter-faith Council will “create a sense of communication between groups and to be a forum to solve controversy.”
On the agenda for this year is to have faiths communicate with each other and to come up with a solution for the debate for the Memorial Union and look into the issue of religious holi-day decorations in the resident halls.
The group will look into any problems that current and for-mer ISU students present to it as a concern.
“Hopefully we can get this club off the ground. Hopefully
we can do some good on cam-pus,” Anderson said.
The group does not have set meetings at this time, but if indi-viduals are interested in joining the Interfaith Council, e-mail the club at [email protected].
In addition to Interfaith Council, ISU Cigar Club was also at ClubFest II.
They are the largest cigar club in the United States with more than one hundred mem-bers.
“Basically we take time out of the week to just hang out and relax,” Justin Nelson, the secre-tary of the cigar club, said.
Each meeting the mem-bers smoke a cigar, learn new techniques for smoking and cigar types while meeting new people.
One of the problems facing the club is the recent campus-wide smoking ban.
In the past the club has met at the Memorial Union for meetings but now they have been forced elsewhere.
The group tried talking to the Memorial Union last year to get back on campus but had no luck.
This year it tried again with the same results, but members have since then given up hope in finding a new location.
Another popular club this time around was the ISU Sky-diving Club.
As of this year it has eight members, four of which could jump on their own with out an instructor.
It only takes 15 minutes of
on-the-ground training before someone can jump with an in-structor.
The instructor is strapped to the club member and pulls the shoot for them.
Because the Ames Airport is generally too busy to skydive, the club travels to Boone to jump.
The group jumps in good weather about six to seven times a week.
During spring break, the club travels to Colorado to jump in a wind tunnel instead of out of plane.
Iowa State currently has more than 200 clubs students can join.

But now we got weapons,Of the chemical dust.If fire them we’re forced to,Then fire them we must.One push of the buttonAnd a shot the world wide,And you never ask questionsWhen God’s on your side.-Bob Dylan, “With God On Our Side”I gave a lecture on the topic of homopho-
bia at Pace University in New York City ap-proximately five years ago. I talked about my own experiences as the target of harassment and abuse growing up gay, and I addressed my book, Homophobia: How We All Pay the Price. In the book I argue that everyone, regardless of her or his actual sexuality identity is hurt by homophobia and, therefore, it is in everyone’s self interest to work to reduce and ultimately eliminate this very real and insidious form of oppression.
Following my presentation, two students came up to me — one woman and one man — to continue the discussion. The young woman began by telling me: “I’m really sad to hear about the abuse that you and others have received because you are gay or lesbian.
I am here to tell you that I have a way to prevent that from ever happening to you again.
I believe that Jesus Christ can help you. If you ask Jesus and pray hard, Jesus will save you from your homosexual feelings and help you to achieve the life that is meant for you, in his service, as a happy and healthy hetero-sexual. This will save you from the abuse you have suffered.”
My response: “So, let me see if I under-stand you: If I accept Jesus in my life and ask him to help me become heterosexual, then I won’t suffer from homophobia any longer? So, to be supported in society, I have to change who I am and conform to the dominant stan-dards of society? So, for people like yourself to truly support me, I have to become like you? While I understand that you are offering me, in your mind, a gift, do you not see how
this in itself is a form of homophobia, a form of oppression? Do you not see how this per-petuates oppression?”
She responded with surprise and claimed that she knew the “truth,” and that if accepted, could grant me salvation and happiness, but if rejected, would result in continued earthly and eventual eternal torment.
We continued our dialogue for more than one hour, and we ended cordially. All the while, the young man had been closely looking on and listening to the young woman and my discussion. Then the young man spoke to me. He asked: “Professor Blumenfeld, you stated that you are a writer, that you had published a number of articles and books. Is this correct?”
“Yes,” I responded.“Okay, then,” he continued. “You know
that in the writing process, the first draft is never really complete or isn’t any good.”
“Yes, that’s often the case,” I agreed.“Okay, then after you have had some time
for reflection and you write your second draft, this is an improvement over the first draft, but still, it can be improved. So after further reflec-tion and writing, your third version is great. Now you can send it to your publisher.”
I said to him, “Oh no, please don’t tell me that this is a metaphor for religious texts.”
“Yes, indeed,” he uttered. “The first draft is the Hebrew Bible — not so good. The second draft is the Christian scriptures — somewhat better, but not much. But the best version, the third, is the Koran. The real truth. The ultimate truth. The only truth.”
My response to this young man: “As we speak, we are standing a few short blocks from the former World Trade Center towers. Utter-ances and understandings like yours and like the young woman I just spoke with, and by people of any faith, that there is one and only one ultimate religious truth results in people taking it upon themselves, for example, to crash airplanes into buildings. Utterances like yours of people of any faith give people justi-fication to kill in the name of their interpreta-tion of ‘God.’”
“Why,” I argued, “cannot the young
woman I just spoke with realize that her understanding of God, while valid and reliable for her, may simply not be valid and reliable for me or for you, too? And why cannot you realize that your understanding may be great for you, but not necessarily for me and for the Christian woman. How many deaths have to occur before we realize that there are many ways toward the truth, not one way for everyone when it comes to religion and spirituality?”
That was then. Though it occurred a num-ber of years ago this discussion comes back to my memory giving me an insight I previously had not known: That “truth” is what the domi-nant group declares to be “true.”
≠ “Knowledge” is anything the domi-nant group defines as “knowledge,” though “knowledge” itself is socially constructed and produced.
How many wars are we going to justify in the name of “God,” our “God” versus their so-called “false gods”?
Someone said to me once that throughout the ages more people have been killed in the name of religion than all the people who have ever died of all diseases combined.
I don’t know whether this is actually the case, but I do think it highlights a vital point, that we continually kill others and are killed by others over concepts that can never be proven.
Throughout history, the Jews and Muslims have killed each other, the Christians and Muslims have killed each other, the Christians and Jews have killed each other, the Hindus and Muslims have killed each other, the Cath-olics and Protestants have killed each other, the Sunni Muslims and the Shiite Muslims have killed each other, many faith communi-ties have killed Atheists and Agnostics, and on and on and on.
In psychology, there is the notion that in-sanity is doing something over and over again while expecting different results. The insanity of the world continues because human beings do not know their history, do not understand that we are doing something over and over again while expecting different results, namely, we are expecting peace to break out.
Individuals and entire nations continue to believe that their reality fits all, and that it is proper and right to force their beliefs onto others “with God on our side.”

Remember when you got Rock Band? Remember how you created your imaginary bands with tender love and
care, naming them with the most creative moniker you could come up with?
My band, whose name cannot be printed here, may have broken up (it was a really long, arduous and heartbreaking experience that involved an incident with cottage cheese and sour cream) but if it was still around, it would be thrilled to hear — as I hope you will be — that the open beta of the Rock Band Network rolled out yesterday, and thanks to its intro-duction, users can upload their own tracks!
Now, don’t get to excited here. Sorry to suck you in and trick you like that, but the Network comes with a few stipulations.
First, it’s going to cost money. Quite a chunk of money, actually.
With no option for a cheaper, less time-committal alternative, it will cost $99 per year. This comes on top of a yearly subscription to Xbox Live, so you’re looking at an annual cost of roughly $150 at minimum.
Second, as you may have surmised by that mention of Xbox Live, this will only work on Microsoft’s console. There’s nothing wrong with PlayStation 3 versions of the game or the console itself, but this whole operation is being run through the XNA Creator’s Club,
Microsoft’s development platform utilized by indie game creators and small budget studios.
Third, you’ll need a PC, and you’ll need to download some specialty software to author these custom tracks.
It’s great that such software is becoming available to the masses, but this isn’t exactly an easy or uncomplicated process, which leads to...
Fourth — and take this as both a negative and positive — this isn’t exactly YouTube. Joe and Jenny Schmoe may be able to review and sample tracks, but the people creating the tracks are going to be dedicated bands with (I imagine) a proper recording studio, training in the full array of instruments and vocals, a relatively large amount of spending money and time to do all the work.
It’s a lot to ask of an artist to put his or her work out to the masses. It’s even more to ask him or her to volunteer craft with little prom-
ise of exposure or monetary reward.This really is a brilliant move for Harmonix;
broadening its horizons, opening the pearly gates to its musical kingdom and turning its intellectual property into a potential cash-cow reminiscent of a beneficial symbiotic organ-ism. If the symbiote was screaming Lynard Skynard and filling your veins with liquid money, mind you.
In the end though, you have to wonder if this is really going to pay off. Can Harmonix sell this thing, or are we going to have to wait for a full-fledged Rock Band sequel before it really takes off?
Even then, I have to wonder if the music/rhythm genre has been so saturated at this point that it’ll matter. Combine this with the stipulations attached to the Network listed above, and you have a recipe.
A recipe for ... I don’t know ... Something?
Game greets change
One year after President Obama took of-fice, it’s clear that the honeymoon is over.
The champagne has gone flat, room service has disinfected the hotel suite, and, much to Obama’s chagrin, voters are be-coming increasingly fearful that the whirl-wind courtship may have masked deeper problems for married life to come.
The problem lies in how Obama rep-resented himself as a candidate. In pre-election rhetoric, he claimed to be above the fray. He was a post-partisan, post-racial, post-disagreement, Post Cereal candidate for the modern era.
“On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord,” Obama said in his inaugural address on Jan. 20, 2009.
Unity in politics? Yeah, right.From the Federalist Papers on down,
vigorous debate has been the norm in our democracy. Hell, today’s bickering looks tame by historical standards. In 1856, one legislator attacked another in the Senate chambers, beating him into unconscious-ness with a wooden cane.
Sure, times have changed, and the edito-rial board wouldn’t expect to see Senate ma-jority and minority leaders Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell descend into fisticuffs. But neither should we have expected them to put aside their deep-seated ideological differences, abandon their convictions and sing “Kumbaya” around the campfire.
Many voters, though, bought the hype, like hapless stormtroopers under the spell of a Jedi mind trick. With a wave of his hand, Jedi Master Obama-Wan Kenobi dismissed the most long-standing debates in politics.
It worked. He was elected.A year later, though, the result is a nasty
case of buyer’s remorse, in which many moderate voters are left to reflect on the widening chasm between the candidate’s words and the president’s deeds.
In action, Obama has been anything but bipartisan, and his first-year agenda has proved more divisive than that of President Bush, though many are loathe to admit it.
Consider: The signature issue on Bush’s docket during his first year in office, aside from responding to the September 11 attacks, was No Child Left Behind, which passed 87 – 10 in the Senate. Even the USA PATRIOT Act, for which the Bush admin-istration was later disparaged, passed the Senate with a tally of 98 – 1.
President Obama’s agenda, on the other hand, has been hammered through Con-gress mostly unilaterally. The $800 billion stimulus package barely scraped by Senate filibuster, passing 60 – 38 with only three Republicans voting “yea.”
Health care — arguably Obama’s sig-nature issue — only escaped a filibuster because Senate Democrats were willing to play the role of Howie Mandel in a taxpayer-funded, billion-dollar game of “Deal or No Deal.” No Republicans voted for the bill.
Whether the House and Senate can agree on a final reform proposal remains to be seen. What’s clear, though, is that the post-partisan promise was nothing but a mirage.
In his inaugural address, Obama stated, “the question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works.”
They were eloquent words. But after a year of highly ideological governance, there’s no doubt which side of the aisle Obama calls home.
There’s a business phrase, caveat emptor, which means “buyer beware.” It applies to politics, too. Next time, be more critical of the rhetoric candidates use to win your vote.
Post-partisan plan is a mirage

Thursday, January 21, 2010 | Iowa State Daily | OPINION | 5Editor Sophie Prell | [email protected] | 515.294.6768
This editorial appears courtesy of the North-ern Iowan, student
newspaper at the University of Northern Iowa.
Despite all of the statistics and advice college students are bombarded with each semes-ter - doing the “right thing” in order to succeed after college is confusing.
On the outside looking in it’s obvious. Get good grades, get involved and gain work experience.
As always the advice handed down from many of our all-knowing elders is if we think this is hard, “just wait till we get to the real world,” going through college is a piece of cake.
In Nov. of 2008 Cedar Falls began experiencing a string of seven robberies at Cedar Falls banks and credit unions.
Just one week ago Iowa City Police apprehended a
suspect in a local robbery and evidence connected him to the previous robberies in Cedar Falls.
Jay Harkless is now behind bars in Iowa City and will be charged with 2nd degree rob-bery for five of the Cedar Falls crimes.
He is also a registered stu-dent at the University of Iowa, according to the university web site.
Although we don’t know his motive, it’s hard not to wonder if he would have spent some of his alleged stolen funds to survive the recent $100 spring tuition surcharge.
While the “real world” no doubt will be a reality check for many students, for others it’s already not that simple.
According to a recently released NACE Research Job Outlook study, in 2009 employ-ers reported hiring 22-percent less college graduates than they did in the previous year.
Employers expect to hire
about 7-percent fewer college graduates during 2009-2010 then they did in 2008-2007.
The student loans we have to pay back six months after graduation are piling up.
What does it take to get a job to pay back those loans in this difficult economy?
Advice is easy to come by, it doesn’t always make sense.
According to the NACE study, in the last five years employers have placed an increased emphasis on a good GPA (usually 3.0 or higher.)
However, previous work experience or internships were ranked by far the most influ-ential, followed by leadership experience, major and then the potential candidates GPA.
Employers ranked leader-ship positions, major, a high GPA (3.0 or above), extra curricular, the school attended and volunteer work as the order of which they place importance.
According to this study,
students today have to get good grades, obtain practi-cal work experience through often unpaid internships, get involved to the point that they hold a leadership role in an organization, choose the right major, and maybe find time to do volunteer work on the side.
Most college students are not involved in bank robbery during their free time, so find-ing a way to pay for college also must fit in somewhere as well.
But, it’s important for students not to give up, or feel discouraged about entering “the real world.”
As a whole UNI students have fared well in the job market.
In 2007-2008 85 percent are occupied meaning they’ve found work, are attending graduate school, are in the military, etc making an average of $32,271 a year.
In 2008-2009 80-percent were occupied earning $36,751.
The “real world” is coming hard and fast for many of us, but where there is a will, there’s a way to make it (that doesn’t involve a getaway car.)
So you’ve just bought your favorite late night cartoon show (“The Ven-ture Brothers,” “Robot Chicken,” etc
— you fill in the blank) because you loved watching it on TV as a child.
You start watching it, and one-half the way through the first episode you realize you haven’t heard a single beep.
That little beep that catches you off-guard, possibly evoking a laugh, but its main purpose is to mask those words that aren’t meant to be heard by virgin ears.
Not all of us have virgin ears, so what really irks us is that without that beep you
miss an opportunity for a good chuckle. In fact you end up realizing how “adult”
your favorite cartoon really is. You almost tend to look at your favorite characters in a different light.
The magic of the beep is that it’s some-thing that doesn’t flow into a sentence, so it really stands out, and it also lets you fill it in with your own favorite dirty word.
It ends up being like those mad-libs you filled out in high school that your mother would not be pleased to find out you were doing.
It lets the audience interact with the
show and expand their creativity just a little bit.
The other problem with getting rid of the beep is that it makes you realize how dirty the show you’re watching really is.
That little beep can make all of the dif-ference in the world.
With it, you would almost be comfort-able watching it with an 8-year-old child, and, without it, the whole situation gets a nice, big helping of awkward.
If you do end up watching it with a small child you can always tell them that the man on the TV said ass hat and not ... well you know the rest.
So for all of you who enjoy that humor-ous, awkward moment-saving little beep that makes our favorite characters seem that much classier, go out there and save the beep by giving a f*beep.*

Great article! It will be cool to see how one group of college stu-dents so motivated for a common cause that they switch to their rival school will have an impact!
As far as the numbers crunching goes, I wonder what the value proposition is of the students that Salt Company has brought to Iowa State over the years of its existence. I know at least 50 students that came to Iowa State because of Salt Company.

Editorial:
Staiger’s departure poorly planned
Lucca Staiger quit the basketball Tuesday night. He left because an opportunity to play professional basketball in Germany became available, and he took it.
Judging by responses on the CycloneFanatic message boards and the sheer number of Facebook statuses that changed in unison, Iowa State’s basket-ball fans were shocked, to say the least.
Priorities have to be questioned when a decision like this is made. Yeah, there’s a lot of money at stake. However, you have to wonder how well Mr. Staiger will sleep the next few weeks. Let’s summarize the most popular arguments:
1) You don’t abandon your team with 14 games to go. You just don’t.
2) What about your teammates, who may have “dreamed” of playing in the NCAA Tournament? What about all the work they’ve put in to get you the ball?
3) What about your coach who gave you a chance to play? His job is being increasingly called into question. You’ve fanned the flames.
4) What about the fans, who have tolerated your mind-numbing eligibility mishap, poor defense and inconsistent shooting for two seasons, only to see you leave town?
5) New questions have now arisen regarding sup-posed premature dealings with an agent which may lead to NCAA’s actions against Iowa State.
Now what, Mr. Staiger? With one massive swipe, you’ve simultaneously burned every bridge you built here in Iowa. We trusted you, we tolerated you, we supported you, we loved you and what did we get in return? We got Chiz-ed! Again!
In time, the fallout from this decision will become visible. For now, everyone will put on a happy face, act tough and say “good riddance.”
But the truth is that Lucca Staiger spurned us, and it hurt. We can pretend all we want, but losing the team’s third–best scorer isn’t a wound that simply scabs and heals.
Wether you agree with Lucca’s choice, and wheth-er you can honestly say you wouldn’t do the same thing, it’s fair to say the timing couldn’t be worse.
Plagued with injuries and off the court squabbles, a player jumping ship only deepens the hole. If you plan on leaving your job, you give your manager two weeks notice as a courtesy. Forcing others to scramble and reassemble the pieces while the team is in Texas for an away game is downright rude.
There’s really not much more to say. It was a ter-rible situation, compounded with equally terrible timing.
Now more than ever we need to support this team. The Cyclones face No. 3 Kansas in Hilton Coliseum on Saturday. Wear gold, bring friends and don’t leave early.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Mike Singletary scored 23 points and had 11 rebounds to lead Texas Tech over Iowa State 78-71 on Wednesday night, giving the Red Raiders their first conference win.
Texas Tech (13-5, 1-3 Big 12) led most of the game and built a 16-point lead with about nine minutes to play. The Cyclones (12-6, 1-2) used a 13-5 run, including a 5-point play after a technical foul was called on Darko Cohadarevic and 3-pointers by Craig Brackins and Scott Christopherson, to pull within 69-61.
But Texas Tech stiffened with bas-kets by John Roberson and Coha-darevic to seal the victory.
Marquis Gilstrap scored 19 points and had 12 rebounds to lead the Cy-clones. Brackins added 14 and had 10 rebounds, his first double-double since Jan. 13 against North Dakota State.
Roberson scored 20 points and Nick Okorie added 15 for the Red Raiders.
The game was the first for the Cy-clones without guard Lucca Staiger, the team’s third-leading scorer, who announced Tuesday he was going back to Germany to pursue professional op-portunities there.
Staiger, a junior, started all 17 games
this season before Wednesday night’s contest, averaging 9.4 points and shooting 42.5 percent from 3-point range in his second year.
The Cyclones seemed to gain mo-mentum from the 5-point play. Gilstrap made a layup and was fouled by Coha-darevic, who got angry about the call and slapped the pad beneath the back-board. An official called a technical on him, and Brackins sank both of those free throws.
Then Gilstrap hit his foul shot. Less than 40 seconds later, Brackins hit a 3. Christopherson’s 3 came at the 5:04 mark to whittle the Cyclones deficit to eight points.
Tech shot 42.6 percent from the field on 29-of-68 shooting, while the Cyclones hit 25 of 60 for 41.7 percent.
Both teams shot poorly from the free throw line in the first half. Together they missed 11 of 16 attempts. The Red Raiders got just two points off seven Cyclones turnovers, while Iowa State scored seven points off six Texas Tech turnovers.
The Red Raiders ended the first half on a 13-5 run to lead 41-31 at the break.

Earlier this season, the Iowa State hockey team faced off with Central States Collegiate Hockey League rival Illinois and came away with a weekend split, losing 3-2 on Friday and winning 4-1 on Satur-day. Illinois is the only opponent the Cyclones will play twice in the regu-lar season and the Cyclones expect this time around to be close.
In the loss earlier this season, Iowa State took a 1-0 lead into the locker room at the end of the first period. In the second period, Iowa State let the game slip away by al-
lowing Illinois to score three times and the Cyclones went on to lose 3-2.
The following night, Iowa State put together an impressive perfor-mance and beat the Illini 4-1.

IOWA CITY — Iowa defensive back David Cato and running back Josh Brown have decided to transfer.
The Hawkeyes say in a statement released Wednesday that both players will seek schools closer to home.
Cato, a sophomore from St. Petersburg, Fla., played in 12 games last season and made six tackles.
Brown, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound freshman from Arlington, Texas, didn’t have a carry in 2009.
Iowa, which finished 11-2 and ranked No. 7 in the final Top 25 poll, return a number of young players at both running back and in the defensive backfield.

Several Jets rest, expected to play in AFC title gameFLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis sat out practice because of a broken left hand, but he is expected to play in the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Ellis broke the hand on the Jets’ first defen-sive play in their 17-14 victory at San Diego on Sunday but later returned with a cast wrapped up like a club. He said he’ll have surgery to have screws inserted after the game against the Colts.
Linebackers Bart Scott (left ankle) and Da-vid Harris (right ankle) were limited at prac-tice Wednesday, but coach Rex Ryan said they’ll be fine to play.
Running back Thomas Jones and fullback Tony Richardson were held out of the first practice of the week to give them some rest, as has been the case for the last month.

Vikings’ Edwards out of practice with knee injury
By Ann SannerAssociated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — Education Sec-retary Arne Duncan on Wednesday said poor graduation rates among some college basketball programs would im-prove if the NCAA linked postseason play to the number of student-athletes getting their diplomas.
“They should make a rule that if you’re below a certain point, you don’t qualify for the tournament,” Duncan told reporters at the Capitol. “And I guar-antee that would fix the problem in a hurry. I promise you that. We’d fix this thing overnight.”
Duncan, who played basketball at Harvard University, said 25 percent of men’s basketball teams in last year’s NCAA tournament graduated less than two out of five players.
“You had four teams that didn’t graduate any African-American players. Zero. If that was my son, I don’t know if I would want him playing there,” Duncan said. “And why did we allow them to play in this tournament, make all this money, be on national TV, and they’re not grad-uating any kids?”
He did not name any specific schools.
Duncan had weighed in on the issue in a speech last week at the NCAA con-vention in Atlanta, where he also criti-cized coaches who move to new jobs while their former schools are being in-vestigated for violations. Citing himself as an example, Duncan said taking part in collegiate athletics can been benefi-cial to students.

The true beginning to the ISU track and field season will occur Friday and Saturday as the men and women’s track and field teams compete at the ISU Open at the Lied Athletic Recreation Center in Ames. Coming off a long holi-day break without meet competition since the Iowa State Holiday Preview on Dec. 11, the Cyclones are excited about the opportunity presented by competi-tion coming to the competition.
Sprinters and hurdlers coach Nate Wiens has his squad ready behind ju-nior hurdler Jenna Caffrey. Caffrey won the 60–meter hurdles event at the ISU
Holiday Preview for the second year in a row, giving a strong indication of her capabilities this season.
A strong performance is also ex-pected from senior Lashawn Wright, one of the top runners last year in the Big 12 Conference.
Wiens is looking for a good start to track in 2010, but knows that this early in the season won’t necessarily bring the best results.
“We’re just looking to stay healthy right now, if we go out and set a per-sonal best that’s great, but that’s not necessarily what we’re looking for,” Wiens said. “The expectations are still

He was hurt in the third quarter of last week’s playoff win over Dallas, after record-ing three sacks, five quarterback hurries, eight tackles and a forced fumble. Edwards spent eight hours in the training room get-ting treatment on Wednesday. He says his knee is “good.”
All-Pro defensive tackle Kevin Williams was also held out of practice because of a knee injury.
Other players limited by injuries Wednes-day were receiver Bernard Berrian (ankle), guard Steve Hutchinson (shoulder), line-backer Ben Leber (knee) and Antoine Win-field (foot).

ISU defense neutralizes Kansas offense, McCray
By Travis J. CordesDaily Staff Writer
For the first time in conference play, one particular mark in the ISU scoring column wasn’t absurdly lopsided.
Over the past three games, Alison Lacey stole the show on offense for the Cyclones, pouring in 24.7 points per game while only once did another player score in double digits. On every occasion, Lacey more than doubled the next highest scorer for the Cyclones.
The offense still didn’t light up the score-board on Wednesday night, but a balanced attack and another strong defensive showing propelled the No. 21 Cyclones (14–3, 2–2 Big 12) to a 53–42 win over Kansas at Hilton Coliseum.
“I would say that was our most balanced team effort offensively,” said ISU coach Bill Fen-nelly. “We made shots when we needed it, and I think that transferred to how we played defen-sively because everyone was involved in our defense, too.”
Lacey still led Iowa State with 13 against the Jayhawks, but she was complimented by 10 points from Denae Stuckey, along with seven apiece from freshmen Anna Prins and Amanda Zimmerman. Stuckey added a team-high seven rebounds in the process.
While the offense was making strides, Iowa State showed why they are currently the Big 12’s top-ranked defense, holding Kansas (11–6, 1–3) a full 30 points below their season scoring aver-age.
With the exception of an easy bucket for the Jayhawks in the game’s waning seconds, the Cy-clones had held their opponents scoreless for the final seven minutes of the game.
“We just had to execute and do the little

things that we were taught,” Stuckey said.
“We had to make their shooters work to put the ball in the basket instead of just jump-shooting, and we had to force them to dribble the ball and play help defense. We played them exactly as we had planned in the scouting report.”
The Cyclones’ swarming zone defense successfully sti-fled Kansas guard Danielle Mc-Cray, who was second in the conference in scoring entering the game with 20.9 points per game.
The senior was held score-less before halftime and was limited to just six points in the second half.
“Every time I caught the ball there were two or three people around me, especially
Denae,” McCray said. “I need to do much better, but they were right there just about ev-ery time I got the ball.”
It took a late 10–0 run by the Cyclones to pull away from the pesky Jayhawks, who had clawed their way back to with-in three with seven minutes remaining.
But a steal and two lay-ups in consecutive possessions by Stuckey and a lay-in by Chel-sea Poppens turned the tables on Kansas, sparking the well-known Hilton atmosphere that
had been absent throughout most of the lackluster game.
Iowa State will hit the road once again this weekend, as they head south for an after-noon tilt with the No. 23 Texas Longhorns (13–5, 2–2) at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Against an offense as good as Texas — scoring 78.9 points per game — Iowa State will need to find that balanced attack again to run with the Longhorns in Austin.
“We didn’t score a lot of points but everyone contrib-uted,” Fennelly said.

In those games, Illinois played a very fast and physical two games. With a bigger sheet of ice to play on this week, Iowa State believes it can still play its trademark physical style of play.
“Obviously, we’re going to be a lot more physical than them,” said junior forward Cort Bulloch. “Every series we make a goal to be the leader in hits and all other categories. We’ll defi-nitely be the toughest team on the ice this weekend.”
Iowa State will travel to Champaign, Ill. this weekend in hopes of improving its stand-ing in the rankings and hope-fully move up the seeding in the CSCHL Tournament in Ames.
The ice arena is a slightly big-ger than the one in Ames, which the Cyclones will need to adjust to.
“We have to get used to the ice surface right away,” said freshman forward David Kur-batsky. “Some of us have experi-ence playing there and some of us don’t so the first period will be huge in order for us to get used to the surface.”
Senior forward Tom Con-nell, who has 11 goals and 29 assists this season, leads Illinois. The Illini are coming off a disap-pointing split with Robert Mor-ris giving them their fourth loss of the season and the first loss since the one in Ames. Those losses coming at the hands of first ranked Lindenwood, Iowa State and Robert Morris.
“They’ll be flying and they like to play well in front of their
home fans,” said coach Al Mur-doch.
The Cyclones will enter this game with a record of 20-8-3 with six losses on the road. Murdoch has confidence that his team can pull off a couple of wins this weekend to bring them to 22 wins on the year.
“I’ve been around long enough that I know that Cy-clone hockey, most of the time, plays better on the road than they do at home so now it’s time
to show that by beating Illinois,” Murdoch said.
Getting these two wins are important for the Cyclones be-cause with the tournament less than a month away, they need all the wins they can up until then.
“I’ve never won on their ice and I know the seniors haven’t either so that’s something we want to do before we end our career here at Iowa State,” Bulloch said.

high for our athletes because we know that when they put those cleats and that Iowa State jersey on they’re ready to go.”
A young squad will be repre-senting the Cyclones in jumps and multi-events this weekend, but they certainly are up for the challenge. Having only under-classmen jumpers on the wom-en’s squad puts heavy expecta-tions on sophomores like high jumper Tiffanie Synacek.
Synacek had third place finishes at both the Big 12 out-door meet and the NCAA Mid-west Regional in the high jump last year and will be one of the strong components of the jump squad.
Throwing coach Grant Wall is coming into his first season at Iowa State, bringing fresh talent into an already accomplished group of throwers. After spend-ing last season as the head track coach at Saginaw Valley State, Wall brought thrower Emily Nugent with him as a transfer to add depth to the squad.
“Emily fits right in where our throws group is at on the wom-en’s side,” Wall said.
The women throwers are led by sophomore Laishema Hampton, who is leading the Big 12 in the weight throw com-petition by two feet.
“She’s shown glimpses in practice of throwing further. All throwers have shown good things in practice, we’re going to have a good year,” Wall said.
Wall’s optimism is matched by standout distance runner Lisa Koll. The seven-time All-American, former Drake Relays champion and two-time Big 12 champion in the 10,000-me-ter run looks to begin making steady progression toward the outdoor season, while remain-ing patient.
“The key is to pick a time to
peak,” Koll said. “The first meet is a gauge to see where your fit-ness is at, as well as a confidence builder. It’s good for us to get in that racing mode. It’s hard to get fired up for running when it’s negative 20 degrees outside.”
The temperature will be much warmer than that in-side Lied Recreation Center this weekend, but it provides a much greater advantage to the teams than its temperature.
“It’s great for us to be at home, have an opportunity to represent our university at such a great facility without being worn down from travel,” Wall said. “The comfort level of Lied is great for our athletes and the adrenaline it gives them makes for a great atmosphere.”
The Cyclones will compete against primarily local colleges, including Drake University, Grandview University and Iowa Central this weekend as they set off on a string of home meets that does not end until March.

Ten dance moves not to bust out at this year’s Dance Marathon:
AMUSE
By Tyler KingkadeDaily Staff Writer
As Joe Summers rolls out of bed in the morning and gets online he, like many people, has a routine: Check e-mail, then Facebook, then Twitter, then perhaps a blog.
For some, this still includes MySpace. Usually, this has little benefit outside of their social life — for Summers, it’s business.
As the lead singer of his Ames-area band, Classic in the Making, working to maintain its presence on social networking sites is vital to its success. Though the spots where they make themselves heard has changed over the past year.
“Now there are so many bands on MySpace, it’s hard to find bands you like,” Summers said. “I’m really starting to get into blogs and let-ting them find me bands.”
Summers recalled checking into Web sites like PureVolume and MySpace to keep up with music in high school.
Summers said it’s as if “having great music isn’t enough anymore.” Bands today must operate more like small businesses and be able to handle appearance, merchandising, logos as well as selling their music and booking the shows all on their own.
He said Myspace, in the past, was a great way to be heard and build a following, yet he believes now “actual social networking” holds more importance.
“When we played with Mayday Parade there was this band called A Bird A Sparrow that was just fol-lowing the tour and making people listen to their music while they waited in line,” Summers said.
“I see a resurgence of the concert experience,” singer-songwriter
Andy Zipf said. “Better live acts and less auto-tuned smoke and mirrors. People are tired of being fed that shrill.”
Zipf is based in Virginia but tours all over the U.S. including central Iowa. Zipf holds a strong impor-tance in the integrity of his rela-tionship with his fans or “pfriends” as he refers to them.
While MySpace gave rise to countless acts, even creating stars on MySpace Records which essen-tially shut down earlier this month, the site saw drastic decreases in traffic as Facebook and Twitter have continued to grow over the past six months. MySpace has at-tempted to compete by adding vid-eos, a full catalog music streaming service, news feeds and trending reports for bands on their fans.
In 2009, MySpace shifted its fo-cus, announcing they would begin to emphasize video and MySpace TV competing more with Yahoo! rather than Facebook. It’s been ex-pected that Facebook and MySpace will finally allow users to link statuses on the sites at some point in 2010; potentially starting with a new service MySpace is starting called “Fan Video.”
This is how Kayla Kern, junior in design and advertising, believes MySpace will stay relevant.
“I mean with Twitter you can link to Tumblr, MySpace, Facebook,” Kern said.
But she acknowledged this makes Twitter more of a hub for informa-tion. Kern pointed out that being able to do much of these updates through text messaging and the growth of mobile connectivity is also connecting bands and fans.
Kern has used MySpace to develop her own photography business that primarily dealt with
taking pictures of bands both live and promotionally. MySpace has been key to her networking with other photographers and getting her work out — attracting more bands to hire her.
“If your page looks good, more people are going to check it out,” Kern said of bands’ MySpace pages. “That brings in graphic designers, photographers.”
“Bands always said at shows to check them out on MySpace and everyone laughed, but it worked,” she added.
Kern said Flickr has been a great tool for networking with other photographers. She still uses MySpace but admits it’s nowhere near the point it used to be.
There’s no doubt MySpace’s influence and size of audience fur-ther brought down walls for many
musicians, destroying the formula for success in music. Bands sud-denly had the potential to gain the national and even world-wide popularity. Unsigned artists and acts signed to independent labels reached the top of the iTunes charts before ever being on MTV.
Dane Schmidt, better known as the Minneapolis-based Jamestown Story to his music project’s fol-lowers, watched the rise and fall of MySpace as his music has gained world-wide notoriety through social networking sites. Jamestown Story’s song, “Futile Road,” was featured on a January episode of MTV’s “The Real World: DC.”
“It’s frustrating but hopefully something else will pop up that will be the ‘new thing,’” Schmidt said. “In the mean time I’m work-ing to get people coming to james-
townstory.com and making that a good place to discover and listen to Jamestown Story.”
Summers has seen a lot of bands revert to buying their own Web site as well as trying to build followings on Twitter.
“Twitter is great to get updated with bands on a day-to-day basis but it’s nothing like MySpace,” Summers said. “It’s not really an improvement; it’s just the way things are going.”
While many bands remain frustrated for the moment, losing their central outlet to focus their attention on, Summers isn’t overly surprised.
“Things get old,” he said.Perhaps the lesson for bands is
not to put all their eggs in one bas-ket. For now, these musicians will have to roll with the punches.
myspace Redirects Bands to new media
By Tyler KingkadeDaily Staff Writer and ETHOS Writer
Dance Marathon is an annual event benefitting the children at University of Iowa hospitals and clinics. We were able to ask the hard-hitting questions and found out who the Dance Marathon co-
directors think they are. Lindsey Loomer, senior in advertising
Trent Jacobson, senior in materials engineering
1. If you could pick one song to be played on repeat the entire night, what would it be?
■ Loomer: Definitely Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”
■ Jacobson: I’ll have to go with “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga.
2. Will The Beatles Rock Band be includ-ed in the activities this year?
■ Jacobson: Yes, plus much, much more.
3. I think everyone is
dying to know if the gladiator jousting will return, so what’s up?
■ Loomer: Well the inflatable pirate ship fell through, but we found something more interesting.
4. Will there be an open bar?
■ Jacobson: All the food, water and non-caffeinated beverages you can imagine.
■ Loomer: And Dori-tos.
5. Who is your favorite Jonas Brother?
■ Loomer: Oh, I love Nick. I’m still hoping he’ll come.
■ Jacobson: I prefer Miley Cyrus.
6. Can you confirm or deny the rumored ap-
pearances of Fall Out Boy, U2 or Al Roker?
■ Jacobsen: Still in negotiations.
■ Loomer: But we promise you won’t be disappointed.
7. Has there been consideration of using Dance Marathon to start a fund to help finance the $25,000 per year in–state tu-ition these children at the U of I hospital will be paying by the time they reach college?
■ Jacobson: We’ll stick with the plan for now, but maybe we’ll open an investment account for them. No promises, though.

generate a marketing strategy to inform students across the ISU campus.
Mariko Peterson, co-presi-dent of SHAC and Halley Stille, who serves as the director of student affairs on the executive cabinet of GSB, have been work-ing together to get a committee started so that they can begin to brainstorm ideas on ways to best spread the word across the ISU campus.
“We want the students to know that HIV testing, as well as testing for other STIs, are still
available at the Student Health Center with a doctor’s appoint-ment,” Peterson said. “We feel this is a good thing because you’ll be able to talk to your physician and they will be able to talk with you more in-depth about what you are experiencing and tests that they feel you need.”
Luke Rolling, who serves as a Senator on GSB, said there are also members who are looking for options or possibilities to rein-state the funding for free HIV test-ing, such as other grants that the health center could qualify for.
“We really want to get all the pieces together before we start anything so that we can build a
solid foundation in which we can work from. We are in the process of scheduling meetings right now, but the university affairs advisory committee meets at 5:30 [p.m.] every Tuesday in the west office space in the Memorial Union. We talk about issues and topics including student health, and ev-eryone is welcome to come to the meetings to ask questions or ex-press their concerns,” Stille said.
If you have any input or would like to get involved with constructing the marketing plan, you may contact Mariko Peter-son at [email protected] or Halley Stille at [email protected].
HIVfrom PAGE 1
By Brian MurphyAssociated Press Writer
BAGHDAD — An upcoming election in-tended to ease Iraq’s sectarian rifts is instead dredging up old hostilities — with the White House sending Vice President Joe Biden to smooth tensions between Shiites and Sunnis.
Some Sunni leaders have been outraged by the Shiite-led government’s political blacklist against perceived backers of Saddam Hussein’s Sunni regime, and by officials in a Shiite holy city vowing to banish any Saddam loyalists be-fore the balloting for parliament in six weeks.
Washington views the election as an op-
portunity for Sunnis to get a larger stake in run-ning Iraq and build alliances with Shiite power brokers.
Some Sunnis claim they are becoming vic-tims of political bullying by the Shiite-dominat-ed leadership. The vote will determine who will govern the country in the crucial years ahead — with U.S. military forces departing and Iraq seeking to tap into its vast oil and gas reserves.
“Punishing people for their ideological past is not acceptable and it will arouse fears,” said Nourdin al-Hiali, Sunni lawmaker. “Revenge will not bring good to this country and will turn the people banned from the elections as vic-tims and martyrs.”
Election stirs up Sunnis, ShiitesIraq

Today’s Birthday: (1/21/2010) As you seek greater power in career or social activities this year, also seek greater spiritual depth and under-standing. Brute-force methods may have worked in the past, but now you discover social or spiritual avenues to lead others with greater sensitivity and skill.
To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 7 -- You’ve reached the balance point with work and responsibilities. Now it’s time to pursue social activities with flair. Join the party!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 6 -- It may be hard to get through to an older person now. Don’t worry. You’ll get another chance. Follow through on social plans.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Give a female permission to carry your message today. You don’t need to be the bearer of news. You
just need it to be delivered.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Cultivate a relationship with your favorite person today. Spend extra time together and let yourself be carried away.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- You have your marching orders. Don’t be afraid to start out early and work hard all day. A female begs you to take a break for supper. Follow her instructions to the letter.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Exert yourself to push aside an obstacle at work. Challenge yourself to move up a rung on the career ladder. A female provides support.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Connect with a female who has a special connection to private information. Don’t expect her to reveal her sources. Just accept the data gracefully.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- If you collaborate with a much
older person, you’ll love the results. Both of you feel vindicated when the news gets out. Feel free to pat each other on the back.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- Get down to business early and stick to it. Most of the day is spent clearing up mistakes and trying to grasp what seems like an ancient concept.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- A woman presents a compel-ling argument. It’s unique and yet practical. It’s hard to imagine anything working better than that.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 5 -- Relationships have been tough lately. Today you get a handle on how to communicate your ideas reasonably, without seeming boring. Get exercise later.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 5 -- Share the stage with a female who knows her lines perfectly. Even if you ad-lib, she can handle the banter. Who knows where the play will take
Aries: Join the party!
