Daily Snapshot Celebrity NewsNotes and events.Jennifer Aniston’s not dat-ing Justin Theroux Looks like former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston has made a new pal.On Wednesday night, the actress was spotted out on the town with “Your Highness” star Justin Theroux at L.A.’s Sunset Towers Tower Bar. Though X17online reported that the duo were on a “romantic dinner date” and are now an item, Aniston’s spokesperson says that couldn’t be further from the truth.“What X17 neglected to mention was that there were three other people at the dinner,” the rep told Us Weekly. “It was a friends dinner.”Indeed an onlooker told Us, “[Jen] was romantic with nobody at the table. She had a great time, but was definitely not on a date.”Expect to see more of the two together, however: Aniston and Theroux co-star in the October comedy “Wanderlust.”

Unbelievers throw ‘left behind’ bashArmageddon

By Ben.Theobald iowastatedaily.com

The Iowa Atheists and Freethinkers (IAF) held a “left behind” party in Des Moines on May 21, the day which Harold Camping, a broadcaster in California, predicted the Rapture in which all Christian believers would be asserted to heaven.

The party took place at the Underground bar and started at 9 p.m. One of the main organizers of the event was Kyle Bailey, Secretary of IAF.

“One of our goals as an organization is to increase the visibility of the secular community,” Bailey said. “Something as widespread or well known that has so much buzz behind it is clearly a secular versus an extrem-ist position. We would defi-nitely want to come out and make a public statement that we are on the secular side.”

The idea to throw a celebration started af-ter Camping made his prediction.

“Almost as soon as we heard Harold Camping was predicting the end of the world on May 21 we knew that we had to throw a left behind party,” Bailey said.

The event kicked off with a poem, Catacomb Confetti, read by poet Josh Boyd.

“These days are damp with misfortune,” Boyd read. “Just today, angels lost luggage in the yard. Hands rubbed raw, the sap on their skin steaming... . You show me a lost weight, I’ll show you a North Star.”

Boyd believes there is no set date for the end of the Earth.

“I think if there was going to be a Rapture then it would be unknown,” Boyd said.

Jason Uhlmaan is a mem-

ber of IAF and was respon-sible for booking the bands that played at the party.

“It was really word of mouth,” Uhlmaan said. “We had bands approaching us wanting to play. It came to-gether on its own within a few months.”

The festivity was a way to prove wrong the specific reli-gious group that believed the Rapture was coming.

“Three percent of the population believe in this very specific brand of Christianity,” Uhlmaan said. “As soon as you hear people talking like that it becomes appropriate to throw a party, get together, and poke fun at

organized religion.”One of the bands that

played was The Neverends led by Willy Muse. Muse graduated from Iowa State in 2009 and is currently design-ing men’s pants in New York for J Crew.

“I came back to Iowa and my brother got me a show,” Muse said. “This is kind of a reunion show. We use to play in Ames and Des Moines.”

Muse graduated with a degree in apparel merchan-dising and design. Muse saw May 21 as a reason to celebrate.

“I love it, it was an exuse to have a party and prove someone wrong again as

[Camping] also predicted it in 1994,” Muse said.

Sabahal Hassan who attended the party saw the Rapture as a way to draw attention.

“We are just disproving someone’s own superstition,” Hassan said.

Hassan came from Bihar in North India to Iowa where he is currently working at John Deere. Hassan believes the May 21 Rapture was far from the truth.

“As per Islam this has not been proven,” Hassan said.

Atheists, freethinkers reject fear

GOPpresidentialracea‘wideopenfield’

The race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination is heat-ing up. Many candidates have announced their candidacies or the formation of exploratory committees. Some have even have begun touring leadoff states.Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, said

that the Republican presidential landscape is still a “wide-open field.” However, Dave Peterson, associate professor of politi-cal science at Iowa State, feels that it is a “two-person race” between Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty.Peterson and Bystrom gave their input on the current candidates, those expecting to announce soon and some of those who have bowed out of consideration:

The City of Ames is set to hold an open forum, dur-ing which residents may share their thoughts and ideas for the future of their community.

The meeting will be part of the Ames Visioning Project, a 19-week program designed to gather information from vari-ous constituencies in order to formulate a collective vision for the future of the city.

Professor Douglas Johnston, chairman of the ISU community and regional planning department, said

visioning projects are im-portant prerequisites for long-term changes within a community. Citizen feedback is crucial for projects of this nature.

“[City Council is] asking for participation in deciding or trying to characterize the strengths and weaknesses that people associate with Ames,” said Johnston.

The first part of the Ames Visioning Project consisted of an online survey with ques-tions pertaining to the current state of the city and its future. Respondents indicated their favorite aspects of living in Ames, as well as changes they wanted to see enacted.

The results of the sur-vey were released April 19. Approximately 5,200 people from Ames and the surround-ing area participated. The

Ames Visioning forum to take place May 26

results indicated that most people come to Ames to study at Iowa State. Participants described Ames as a leader in research, innovation and education.

Participants frequently described Ames as “safe” and “friendly.” Most said that Ames has a small-town feel with big-city amenities.

Despite these results, the majority of participants felt Ames was a long way from be-ing ideal, and that significant amount of change is neces-sary. The open forum is meant to allow citizens the chance to react to the results of the survey.

The feedback process is one of the final steps of the Ames Visioning Project. The meeting for it will be held 7 p.m. May 25 at the Ames Public Library.

Olympians have housing options

SpecialOlympics

Ames will experience a massive influx of visitors this week. According to the the Iowa Special Olympics web-site, approximately 3,000 athletes will travel to Ames to compete in the 43rd an-nual Special Olympics Iowa State Summer Games.

Conference Coordinator for Iowa State’s Department of Residence Martha Royer helps manage the housing and dining arrangments for these new visitors.

“In training our staff, we mention that this is one of our earliest conferences and our most fun conferences be-cause the group itself is just a wonderful group to have here,” Royer said.

Coaches, chaperones, and volunteers will also be trav-eling to Ames for the event. In total, approximately 6,200 people will be a part of the event this year, according to the Iowa Special Olympics website. Royer, however, ex-plained that not all of those visitors will stay overnight.

“Well, not all of them will choose or need to stay over-night, so I would guess that we typically accomodate roughly 1,000 and maybe up to, we might of hit 1,300 at some point,” Royer said. “It varies every year, but I would say that it would mainly av-erage between 1,000 and 1,200 each year.”

According to Royer, plan-ning for the annual event is a long process.

For instance, she ex-plained that she must sit down with the coordina-tors for the Iowa Special Olympics and discuss any changes with the residence

halls or dining facilities.“For example, I might

let them know, for a par-ticular summer, that one of our residence halls might be closed for an upgrade or a renovation or a project,” Royer said. “And, I would let them know what residence halls that we plan to provide housing in, and then I would also let them know of any major changes in our ISU dining facilities that would affect them in that particular summer.”

Ordinarily, the Special Olympics participants would stay in Maple Hall, Willow Hall, and Larch Hall.

“There’s typically a core set of residence halls,” Royer said. “We generally start with [Maple, Willow and Larch] first because they are together, in close proximity, and they’re air conditioned.”

However, Royer said that Willow Hall is undergoing renovations. Therefore, par-ticipants will stay in Oak-Elm Hall instead of Willow.

For dining accomoda-tions, the Special Olympics participants will eat at Seasons Marketplace.

“We have staff [at Seasons] who either have worked with that group be-fore and they’ve always had good records in what they need to do to set up for each conference group, so they have pretty good information in the book with what the special needs are for Special Olympics,” Royer said.

The Special Olympics Iowa State Summer Games run from May 26 to May 28. Although their stay is short, the Special Olympics partic-ipants make a big impact on Royer and her staff.

“[The Special Olympics participants] are very up-beat and positive, very ap-preciative,” Royer said. “Our staff really, just sincerely love working with the guests here, and it’s a great experi-ence for us to be able to host the Special Olympics Iowa here on campus.”

Several roads will be closed from May 26 through May 28, for the Special Olympics Iowa State Summer Games, held at Iowa State.

Beach Avenue will be closed from Lincoln Way to Wallace Road on Thursday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., according to Inside Iowa State. The roads will be barri-caded, and only those with per-mits will be allowed entrance.

On Thursday, South 4th Street will be closed from Beach Avenue to west of the stadium and at all entrances from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., however access to the stadium park-ing lots will still be available. The stadium parking lot will serve as the commuter lot, as all commuter parking will be in the stadium parking lots--S3 and S8--on Thursday and Friday. The Iowa State Center parking lots will be closed Thursday and commuter lots A3, A4, B4, B5, and B6 will be closed Friday.

Parking lot 50A, by Forker Building, will be closed to all except those with Special Olympics or handicap per-mits on Thursday and Friday, as well. From 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., those with reserved per-mits for lot 50A are asked to park in the upper deck of the east campus parking deck for free or in general staff parking.

“We keep all of Lot 63, which is by Maple-Willow-Larch, is used for all the people who are staying on campus. The rest of them will have to ride the commuter stuff in,” said Aaron Steffen, Parking and Transportation Enforcement Supervisor. “The rest of them, we’re asking to park in the stadium lots and ride the buses in.”

On Thursday and Friday, CyRide will move its usual stop at the commuter lot to the stadium parking lot.

Also on Friday, Lot 3 will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for aquatics being held at Beyer Hall. Only those with Special Olympics or handicap permits will be al-lowed to park in Lot 3. Those with reserved permits in Lot 3 are asked to park in Lot 21 at the Armory without being required to pay.

No parking will available at Lied Recreational Center except to those with Special Olympics or handicap per-mits, as Lots 57 and 100 will

be saved for use by the Special Olympics Summer Games.

“It’s kind of unique with Special Olympics just because they have to use so many build-ings... . And it’s conveniently during the summer and no one’s really housed at Maple-Willow-Larch so you can use that large parking lot to fit a lot of people in,” said Steffen.

Parking in Richardson Court will also be limited to those with only Special Olympics and handicap permits.

Religion should soothe, not terrify

Editorial Cock and Bull at the Bar: Texting

8

Beginning in 2010, Christian broadcaster Harold Camping stirred up an apocalyptic frenzy with his prediction that the Rapture would occur last Saturday. His fear-monger-ing and doom-saying were directly opposed to what religion is supposed to be about: giv-ing people hope. Fortunately, the damage he wreaked appears to be reversible.

Camping plucked arbitrary numbers from the Bible, plugged them into an equally arbitrary equation and pointed to its product to support his prediction of the end of the world. This led people to sacrifice their en-tire lives — family and job abandoned, money squandered on propaganda — in order to help others prepare for the supposed return of Jesus Christ.

Whether Camping is a con man or just dangerously deluded, men like him must be outed as the charlatans they are.

But outing them will not change the minds of those poor souls who were desper-ate for hope. What might help those preyed upon by these wolves in sheep’s clothing is the aid of the merciful.

It is the duty of every compassionate hu-man on this planet to help those led down the primrose path to get back on their feet. You don’t need to give money or go far out of your way, just show some compassion.

Instead of laughing at or insulting those that have been hoodwinked, be nice to them. Enlighten those who might be vulnerable to the ravings of false prophets. Above all, be a caring human. And that is something people of all faiths should do for others.

Recently I was graced with the in-sight — thanks to a friend who read Cosmo or Maxim or some other use-

less magazine — that 52 percent of people under the age of 35 think dumping someone via text message is OK.

Dumping people by text is one of the most lame, cowardly and idiotic methods of ending it I can think of. And people believe this is OK? Ugh.

Another wonderful friend was busy touting the marvels of meeting “nice” men online — the kind she “knew” wouldn’t be like the jerks she meets time and again at parties.

Sure, having categories to sort potential beaus into might make dating easier, but those people are just putting their best side forward. You can’t get a true read on people until you actually meet them. Besides, whatever you learn about them online can be gleaned from five minutes of actual conversation.

I shouldn’t act so surprised. Contemporary American daters are so scared of person-to-person interaction that they’d rather sit and text for minutes on end at bars, clubs and house parties then talk to the person next to them. They speak more online with people they hardly know on Facebook or Chatroulette then they converse with the people they come across in real life.

Yes, social media is the way of the future. It is a boon to the entire world — but one that has little place in dating.

“But wait,” the Internet-dating masses say, “I met my girlfriend/boyfriend/booty-call buddy while using X-Date and we are now happily married with 2.5 kids.”

Yeppers, those sites are fine crutches for people who are too afraid to go out and run the risks of human interaction. Sure, you might be able to meet someone who has similar interests or fetishes, but what about the majority — those who searched in vain for a soul mate, or those who ended up dumped?

This argument can go on for hours and hours. I’ve had it at more bars and

parties than I care to count, but the bottom line is as follows: Text breakups, Internet pickups and perpetual texting are making the dating population of America into a bunch of socially-awk-ward introverts.

The conversations conducted via text are lackluster at best, as well as being dif-ficult to read into. Often, the same message has to be reiterated again and again to tease out its subtext.

Online introductions are nothing more than staged events, akin to the photo ops

that accompany presidential speeches.The secret to meeting your future friend,

lover, or heartbreaker is real-life interac-tion. The rush of skirting rejection, the thrill of uncertainty, that moment when you wait, breath baited, for a response to your last come-on — all this is what makes dating worthwhile.

When you dump someone with a text, neither party learns anything. Both parties are likely to make the same mistakes with whomever else they meet. They’ll continue to fail.

When you meet someone online, build a relationship, then finally meet in person, you have cheated yourself of many of the intricate details of human interaction that make a relaionship meaningful.

When you text at a party rather than talking, you send mixed messages worse than someone saying “yes” while shaking his head. If you don’t want to talk to people around you, move or leave. If you have to answer a text from a friend, tell him or her to come meet you. However you reply, make it brief.

If you’re determined to avoid human interaction, stop trying to set it up. Just buy yourself a vibrator or fleshlight for those lonely nights, and whenever you actually want human contact, hang out with the friends you’ve already made.

But if you want to really understand the rush of love or lust that you have read about in Shakespeare or seen in oh-so-many chick flicks, then go out and let the chips fall where they may.

You might fail, you might succeed, but you will have an experience that no online chat could ever equal.

Save the texting for when you abso-lutely cannot speak in person. If you have something meaningful to say, do it in person. Communicating via type alone can be fulfilling — reading is a fantastic pastime — but it lacks too many of the elements that make being with people so great. It’s no way to play the mad, mad game of dating.

Recently, I was able to go hear presidential candidate Newt Gingrich at Olde Main Brewery

in Ames. There was a large crowd — larg-er than expected, according to Gingrich. He delivered this observation after arriv-ing 45 minutes late. When there are five campaign stops during the day, however, one can be forgiven for being late to a speaking engagement.

When Gingrich finally got down to business, he started in speaking in an al-most Obamaesque tone. He declared that Washington is out of control, that change needs to come and that it takes an entire generation to change Washington, not just one man.

A moment’s scrutiny of these opening lines shows how disingenuous Gingrich is being. He speaks as though he is a Washington outsider. Just the opposite is true: Gingrich was a member of the House of Representatives for 20 years. After an ethics violation forced him to leave Congress, he stayed a part of the

Washington political elite as a member of think tanks, public-policy teams and other political entities.

At one point, Gingrich spoke about a “Tenth Amendment initiative.” He was vague about the specifics of this initia-tive, saying only that more legislative power would be transferred to the states under his presidency. I was able to per-sonally ask Gingrich about this after the speech, citing the enormous legislative powers already accorded to the states. I reminded him that everything not

explicitly outlined for the federal con-gress to do is reserved for the states by the Tenth Amendment, and that almost every interaction with law that people have on a day-to-day basis is in the form of state legislation. His response was that I should go “ask a state legislator how much power they really have” before moving on to the next person in line.

My contention is that Gingrich wants to form a confederation of states with a weak central government. This has been tried before under the Articles of Confederation, the disastrous system of government that only worked for only five years here in America before the Constitution was drafted.

Another one of Gingrich’s proposed initiatives is the elimination of the “death tax”, known to some as the estate tax. This proposal roused the audience in a way that nothing else in his speech did. I am not particularly sure why, as the repeal of the estate tax would affect only millionaires and billionaires. Maybe they were well-represented at Olde Main. The estate tax was created to affect only the super-rich, a measure against a con-centration of wealth that would make America look like an aristocracy.

Sen. Charles Grassley just demonstrated a regrettable lack of courage at a time when all Iowans needed him to fight for their interests.

Sen. Grassley was one of 48 Republican senators to block a vote to remove $2 billion of tax subsidies for Big Oil. It would have reduced oil executives’ first-quarter combined profit from $365 billion to $363 billion. You read that right: billion, not million.

Back in the days of the Bush administration, representatives of five oil companies said if oil exceeded $55 per barrel, they would no longer need subsidies. Yet now, with the cost almost double that, they just have to have them.

This is a no-brainer. Big Oil is still raking in record profits. But Sen. Grassley receives more than $200,000 worh of support from Big Oil, so did he have the courage to tell Big Oil

that this $2 billion subsidy is unneeded?

No, he did not. He must believe we will buy some lame excuse that reducing $365 bil-lion in profits to $363 billion will cause gas prices to rise. We are not so gullible.

My goal is to send a letter to the editor to every newspaper in Iowa, urging readers to tell Sen. Grassley how ashamed they are that he lacked the courage to say no to Big Oil.

Please call or write him today. His primary office is at 721 Federal Building, 210 Walnut St., Des Moines, Ia. 50309. Its phone number is 515-288-1145. He has five other regional offices as well.

Let him know Iowans will remember his lack of courage.

Joshua Ullestad stood in the middle of the Iowa Falls-Alden High School track with shot put in hand, preparing for his final throw of the practice.

Ullestad shuffled his feet forward with the shot put wedged between his neck and his right shoulder. A grimace crossed his face as his arm exploded forward, sending the 12-pound shot-put into flight.

“32 feet! Great throw, Josh,” said a volunteer who was measuring each throw.

It was Ullestad’s longest throw of the day by five feet.

“Wait, did she say 32 feet? Seriously? That’s crazy,” said Zac Hunt, a recent graduate of Iowa Falls-Alden, who was observing the day’s practice.

Ullestad, a 16-year-old sophomore at Iowa Falls-Alden, has autism and is preparing for the Iowa Special Olympics.

“I’m a little nervous, but with all this training we’ve been doing, I think I might do all right. I mean, once the Olympics get started, it’s just fun,” Ullestad said. “To tell you the truth, my mom dragged me to the first one, but then it turned out to be a really good experience.”

Ullestad’s mom, Robin Sampson, acts as both a cheerleader and a coach during competition.

“She’s kind of like my coach and she is one determined person, but sometimes she can be a little stubborn. That’s good though because I know she wants me to do my best,” Ullestad said. “I get a little nervous sometimes, but when someone is cheering for you, you get a little more

confidence.”With the help of Iowa Falls-Alden special

education teacher Cynthia Brown and several trained volunteers, Ullestad and seven other Iowa Falls-Alden students were able to qualify for Special Olympics.

During recreational time, Brown and her vol-unteers do trials with each participant, record-ing the results of each attempt. After many dif-ferent trials, Brown sends the collective results to the people at the Special Olympics Central District, who categorize the participants ac-cording to their skill level.

Participants from the Central District, such as Ullestad, then compete at a regional event in Marshalltown, Ia. for the right to go to the state-wide Special Olympics.

“I think it’s just a really great way to get kids who wouldn’t normally be involved in athletics to be able to compete, because they just don’t get those kinds of opportunities in their regular high school, so it’s just a really cool thing,” said Sampson. “You get to see a lot of people that are in the same situation so it’s a great deal. You see some people that are ex-cited just to finish, even if they finish last. You see them jumping up and down and giving high fives, so it’s pretty cool.”

As for Ullestad’s shuffling shot put tech-nique, he credits the throwing coach for the Iowa Falls-Alden track team, Derrick Elman, with inspiring it.

“It’s actually called the shuffle. Mr. Elman taught that to me when he practices with me after school,” Ullestad said. “He was my fifth grade teacher a long time ago, and he is a pretty good guy. He’s probably one of the nicest guys I know.”

Elman, also an assistant coach on the high school football team, said that Josh’s positive at-titude is infectious.

“Josh is a great kid, he always has a smile on his face,” Elman said. “He’s the kind of kid that, when he was in fifth grade, he could always bring you up, even when you were having a bad day.

He could always say some little joke or just say something to you that would put a smile on your face and change your mood at any time.”

The Special Olympics begin for Ullestad and his fellow competitors on the Iowa State University campus on May 26 and run until Saturday, May 28.

His time as an Iowa State grappler may be over, but Jon Reader continues to carry the banner for Cyclone wrestling.

Reader was recently selected as a wild card to participate in the World Team Trials in Oklahoma City, which will take place June 10 and 11. Reader, a three-time All-American and

2011 NCAA Champion for Iowa State, earned his place at the trials with a runner-up finish at the Northern Plains Regional Championship.

At the qualifying tournament, Reader placed second in the 185 pound freestyle bracket behind former two-time NCAA champi-on Chris Pendleton.

Iowa State was also represented in other weight classes at the Northern Plains Regional Championships. Redshirt freshman

Ryak Finch, who has yet to wrestle in an ISU singlet, took second at 121 pounds. Nate Carr Jr., a recent Cyclone grad, placed third at 163 pounds.

Reader and his nine fellow wild-cards will join the race for the world team.

The collegiate national champion will have a chance to im-prove on his fourth-place performance from 2009 and take his talents to the world stage.

The Cyclone track and field program is sending 19 ath-letes in 12 different events to the NCAA West Regional in Eugene, Ore., which will take place from May 26 to May 28.

Expectations at regionals have been high for the wom-en’s distance runners since the tandem of Betsy Saina and Dani Stack finished 1st and 2nd, respectively, in the 5,000-meter race at the Big 12 Championships.

“We have to get in the top 12 to make it to nationals, so that’s where we want to be,” Stack said. “We’re going to go out there, compete hard and run together again, and work hard to make sure we both get in.”

The 10,000-meter race, which Stack, Saina and fel-low Cyclone Semehar Tesfaye will run together this week in Eugene, did not work out the way the duo had hoped at the Big 12 Championships.

The pair of Cyclones took an early lead and held it for most of the race, but when the rest of the field made a move, they were unable to respond. Stack held on to finish 2nd while Saina fell back, finishing 4th.

Stack said there were les-sons to be learned from the way the pair finished.

“We had a talk with Coach Ihmels and we asked him what he wanted us to do, and he said not to lead it because we led the 10,000,” Stack said. “We decided that we were just going to hammer it halfway through and try to drop the field, and that’s what we did.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Jamie Vanderbeken is a realist.

Sixty names will be called in this year’s NBA draft. Unless his draft stock skyrockets be-tween now and June 23rd, the name of the former ISU center won’t be among them.

“If I can land on an NBA team that’d be great, but I’m a realist, and with my style of play I’m more likely going to play overseas. But hey, I’m going to bust my butt until a decision comes,” Vanderbeken said following his workout in Minneapolis on Sunday.

At the first of three pre-draft workouts to be held at the Life Time Fitness facility in the Target Center, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ home arena, Vanderbeken and five other NBA hopefuls — Jacob Pullen from Kansas

State, Blake Hoffarber from Minnesota, Paul Carter from the University of Illinois-Chicago, Cameron Hodges from Minnesota State-Mankato and Andrew Albicy from France — competed in a variety of individual and team drills under the direction of the Timberwolves coaching staff.

The 6-foot-11-inch Vanderbeken, who as a Cyclone was known primarily for his perim-eter shooting, averaged 11.1 points and drained 42.5 percent of his 3-pointers last season, the fourth-best three-point field goal percentage in the Big 12. In the NBA, however, players of Vanderbeken’s height usually roam near the basket — something that Vanderbeken needs to get better at if he wants to continue his basket-ball career.

“I’m not gonna lie to anyone and say that I’m a big banger. That’s definitely not me, but I’m willing to work on whatever aspect of my game that I need to,” Vanderbeken said.

Members of the media were allowed to view the final portion of the workout, which fea-

tured a three-on-three scrimmage. During the scrimmage, Vanderbeken guarded the 6-foot-8-inch Carter and was instructed on numerous occasions to run a pick-and-roll with Albicy. Afterward, Vanderbeken admitted that he was much less familiar with the pick-and-roll than other post players.

He said he’d learned to retreat to the three-point line after setting a pick rather than rolling to the basket.

“I came in here with really no expectations or anything — just to go out and play my game. I think I could have played a little better out there, but I left it all out there on the floor, and that’s about all I can do,” Vanderbeken said.

Vanderbeken listed his post presence, his conditioning and the need to extend his shooting range from the NCAA to the NBA three-point shot distance as his main pre-draft concerns. He will be traveling out to Las Vegas, Nev. later this week to begin training at the Impact Basketball facility with other draft prospects.

In case he is not picked in the NBA draft

and does receive an offer to play overseas, the Belleville, Ontario native may cross the Atlantic. He thinks his pick-and-pop shooting may be better suited to the European style of play.

If he does go to Europe, Vanderbeken has little cause to fear culture shock: he played in Milan, Italy as a teenager and learned a bit of French at Iowa State.

“I did take some French classes [at Iowa State] but come two months from now I prob-ably won’t remember any of it,” Vanderbeken said. “I like different cultures, though and it’s a different style of basketball.”

If he goes undrafted, Vanderbeken’s next step will be to play for the Canadian nation-al team. The team’s training camp will be-gin in Toronto on July 15. It is scheduled to participate in camps in Italy and the Czech Republic, as well as a summer tournament in Argentina.

The 2011 NBA Draft will begin 6 p.m. June 23 in Newark, New Jersey.
