Iowa has the ninth lowest unemployment rate in the country.

CNBC ranked the Hawkeye state as hav-ing the lowest cost to do business in the coun-try, and the conservative magazine Forbes named the state’s capital and largest city, Des Moines, as the number one place in America for “Business and Careers.”

Despite all of the positive economic indica-tors, incumbent Gov. Chet Culver is far behind in the polls and fighting to stay in office, and it’s driving Democrats nuts.

At the Story County Democrats barbecue event Saturday, a woman shouted at State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald, “Why can’t we get any of this into the media?” as he gave a speech to supporters.

Excellent leader. Very outgoing. Humble. Talented.

Military leaders use these words to de-scribe the traits displayed by Tyler Bauman, second lieutenant in the Army Reserve and 2010 ISU alumnus.

It was because of these traits that Bauman was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service in Iraq.

The Bronze Star Medal, the fourth-highest U.S. Army award, is awarded to any person in the U.S. Army who has shown “he-roic or meritorious achievement or service” while engaged in military actions against an opposing armed force, according to the U.S. Army Individual Decorations website.

On Bauman’s second tour of duty over-seas, a mission for which he volunteered, he showcased the actions required to deem himself worthy of the distinguished award.

During the mission, Bauman was in charge of driving a heavily armored truck equipped with machine guns. He and his unit drove around, making a presence so people were discouraged from causing trouble.

“On our first mission, we were hit by a suicide bomber,” Bauman said.

Rather than backing down, Bauman said he and his unit kept going.

Due to his actions and the leadership he showcased during the special mission, Bauman was awarded the medal for his mer-itorious actions.

Benefits of serviceBauman said his service in the Army has

helped him grow as an individual, both in and out of the classroom.

Before joining the Army, Bauman said he struggled with self-confidence and maturity levels. The leadership positions he held have helped him improve those areas.

Joel Soenksen, adjunct assistant profes-sor of military science and tactics, said one of Bauman’s responsibilities in the ROTC was serving as a mentor for younger ROTC soldiers. Soenksen said Bauman helped the younger soldiers determine what classes to take and how to have proper military presence.

“He was very well thought of by his peers,” Soenksen said.

During the summer before Bauman’s senior year in college, he and other

Mark Engelbrecht, professor of architecture and dean emeritus of the College of Design, is a man of utmost intelligence when it comes to architec-tural design.

What interested you in archi-tecture to begin with?

I started out majoring in aero-nautics, but two of my roommates were architectural design students. I learned a lot about the major through them, and what they were learning in-terested me far more than aeronauti-cal equations did.

Where do you get your style? How do you decide how to design your projects?

It’s not so much style as you must be sensitive to the context of the sur-rounding environment. For example, if you are in an older community, you need to pay attention to the surround-ing buildings as well as the climate.

Work with the values of the natu-ral world and surrounding commu-nity. That’s part of what I like about having architectural design students study in Rome is that they have access to an environment that is thousands of years old.

When and how did you start out in this field?

I was a dean for 16 years and I have always been a designer since I was a student.

My partner and I started a busi-ness in Des Moines in 1967 known as Engelbrecht Griffin Architects. Our main office was originally just in Des Moines, but as our work headed to the East Coast then over to the West Coast, we added another office in Newburyport, Mass.

I worked primarily out of the of-fice for 10 years, and then I moved on to basically working on big projects all while teaching here.

Our firm designed the Maucker Union at UNI and we also specialized in retirement housing and health care facilities in over 26 states.

What are your thoughts on re-ceiving the Christian Petersen Design Award?

I was very pleased particularly with this award because this is the primary prize the College of Design gives out, and I have been able to pres-ent it to over half of the winners in the past; so now that I am able to receive it — that makes it quite special.

There have been only about 40

It’s only minutes after Democratic Senate candidate Roxanne Conlin walks into the Democratic Party of-fice in Ankeny clutching a Diet Coke when she begins to remind her sup-porters her incumbent opponent, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), hasn’t agreed to a debate.

“Lincoln-Douglas-style debates, just the two of us,” Conlin said in Ankeny. “Just the two of us on a stage talking to each other and asking each other questions. He has had 30 years to get his talking points.”

She said the only event they have both accepted is a debate on an Iowa Public Television show called Iowa Press. But it’s not enough for her.

Conlin said it’s “not fair” for Grassley to avoid de-bates in the campaign, as she asked her supporters to write and call his office to press him on the issue.

“With over 50 years in elected office, Iowans de-serve to hear Sen. Grassley defend his Senate votes,” Conlin said days later. “He should stop being a coward and explain why he voted to bail out Wall Street, why he

Fitzgerald responded that they were the leaders, and said to tell people to “look at the facts,” a theme repeated by Secretary of State Michael Mauro and First Lady Mari Culver.

Culver faces a former four-term Iowa governor, Republican Terry Branstad, with whom Iowans are al-ready familiar and who dealt with similar major events dur-ing his time in office: record flooding, a national recession and the issue of same-sex marriage.

When the GOP gubernato-rial field began to shape, many candidates like Bob Vander Plaats and Christian Fong made changing the legality of gay marriage a top priority.

Branstad later joined the field but made the economy a larger issue to run on, despite the fact he signed the Defense of Marriage Act which was struck down by Iowa’s Supreme Court during his fi-nal term in office.

A KCCI News poll, done by Research 2000, found 53 percent of Iowans supported same-sex marriage rights to 41 percent who opposed.

But the Des Moines Register found it overwhelm-ingly remained a big issue for Republican voters.

Branstad won the June primary with 50 percent of the vote, beating out Bob Vander Plaats who garnered 40 percent.

Prior to the primary, poll-ing suggested any of the GOP

candidates would be able to beat Culver.

Culver’s administration suffered scandals in 2009 con-cerning a lack of oversight on film-making tax credits and worldwide recession leading to an unpopular across-the-board 10 percent cut, greatly impacting public schools.

Culver’s campaign traded attack ads through the sum-mer with Republican nominee Branstad.

One of the first ads by Branstad, who was Iowa’s gov-ernor from 1982 to 1999, said Iowa’s unemployment rate was at a 25-year high.

Culver responded in a June 4 news conference that 25 years ago, Branstad was in office.

It didn’t take long before Branstad had an ad to respond, touting how he left office in 1999 with unemployment at a historic low, although it was just prior to the “dot-com” bubble burst.

Mari Culver said she be-lieves people have “Branstad amnesia” and people near age 45 or younger don’t know what Iowa was like during Branstad’s term.

“I think they bank on that, and they misrepresent their own record and they certainly misrepresent Gov. Culver’s,” Culver said.

I-JOBS, floodingOne area Branstad has

hammered Culver on is I-JOBS, which Culver main-tains has worked and has done a lot of work to restore Iowa af-ter historic flooding.

The Quad City Times

Editorial Board wrote in July:“Challenger Terry

Branstad’s campaign con-demned I-JOBS as creating ‘short-term jobs ... costing Iowans over $240,000 a piece.’ The unfair criticism com-pletely discounts Iowa’s ur-gent need for flood repair. It ig-nores the value of permanent investment left behind. And it shortchanges the jobs impact of this program.”

The top five counties to re-ceive money under I-JOBS are Johnson, Linn, Polk, Story and Black Hawk, all counties who suffered great damage from flooding in 2008 and 2010.

The Board added I-Jobs remains a program focused on “I-flood.”

Democrats like State Sen. Rob Hogg (D-Cedar Rapids) outspokenly criticize Branstad for his response after the 1993 floods.

The Iowa Supreme Court declared on Sept. 3 a lawsuit against the state could move forward concerning a high-way bridge which obstructed a flood plain and allegedly led to multiple homes and business-es being flooded in 1999.

The I-JOBS program is a $875 million program cre-ated in 2009 to invest in infra-structure for flood recovery and to alleviate the recession struggles.

The money came through the issuance of bonds rather than raising taxes.

Fitzgerald said Iowa’s bond rating — ability for a state to re-pay its debt —has a AAA rating by agencies like Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, although

S&P placed I-JOBS bonds on its CreditWatch list Thursday.

In August, State Auditor Dave Vaudt, Republican, re-leased a report which stated Iowa’s debt to $3.2 billion, which Branstad’s campaign quickly seized upon.

“Gov. Culver deliberately re-leased a deceptive and mislead-ing report in an attempt to hide Iowa’s true debt,” said Branstad 2010 campaign manager Jeff Boeyink. “Iowans are shackled with a debt load that is in reality 14 times greater than what Gov. Culver asserted it was.”

Branstad’s campaign said the Business Tax Index 2010 ranked Iowa’s business tax cli-mate at 45th of the 50 states, but in addition to other various eco-nomic ratings, four Iowa cities made CNN Money’s list of Top 20 Places to Start a Business.

Still, Branstad said he would get rid of the Department of Economic Development and replace it with a public-private partnership.

He said he’d also lower property taxes to below the Midwest average, and traveled the state on a “Ready to Create Jobs” tour.

Democrats hope to turn things around

“The stakes are high,” Mauro said Saturday. While the number of registered Democrats dropped with the primary in June, the number is still 699,972 to 644,838 regis-tered Republicans in Iowa.

Republicans held an ad-vantage in those numbers un-til July 2006 and the number of registered Iowa Democrats

has still grown since 2006, mostly around the 2008 elections.

Mari Culver dismissed the notion there might be an en-thusiasm gap this year among Democrats and insisted, as they launch new ads this week, support would return to her husband.

Both Culver and Mauro said they highly doubt Iowans will vote as a referendum on national conditions and be-lieve voters will look at things in the state.

Culver, looking forward to the scheduled debates this month and in October, said she “cannot wait.”

Culver said they would be a chance to “call Terry Branstad on his lies,” since she said Branstad often has a spokes-man quoted on his behalf.

“You know, Chet’s dad, John [a long-time U.S. Senator,

whose seat now belongs to Sen. Charles Grassley] used to say, ‘A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth is heard,’” Culver said.

As Democrats in Story County discussed how to be-come more active to get the story of the good news under their governor’s time in office, Gov. Culver was given a chance to go live on CNBC Friday morning.

But a glitch and technical problems at the IPTV studios where Culver was to be inter-viewed from forced the gover-nor to speak by phone.

Then CNBC had to cut to President Barack Obama giv-ing a news conference on the economy.

After all the trouble, Gov. Culver reportedly said to IPTV employees, “The irony is, we’ve been trying to get this good news story out.”

Divers find body of missing 25-year-old in Williamson Pond

CHARITON — Officials have found the body of a man reported missing after the boat he was in capsized on a pond in southern Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says div-ers found the body of 25-year-old Jessie Tate of Melcher late Monday morning at Williamson Pond in Lucas County.

Tate disappeared after the boat he was in capsized about 1 a.m. Monday. The DNR says he was fishing with three other people when one of them stood up in the small aluminum boat causing it to capsize.

DNR spokesman Kevin Baskins says the other three boaters were able to swim to shore. No lifejackets were in the boat.

Father charged in son’s death appears to die of natural causes

MAQUOKETA — A 32-year-old man facing charges in connection with the death of his 4-year-old son has died.

Authorities say Andrew Holdgrafer appears to have died of natural causes.

Jackson County Sheriff’s deputy Steve Schroeder says Holdgrafer died Saturday afternoon. Holdgrafer had been working in the garage of his Maquoketa home.

Holdgrafer had pleaded not guilty to child endanger-ment in the June 12 death of Collin Holdgrafer. A trial had been set for Sept. 13.

Holdgrafer’s wife, 30-year-old Danielle Holdgrafer, has pleaded not guilty to first degree murder in the death. She allegedly held the child’s head under water while bathing him.

She is being held at Jones County Jail.Prosecutors allege Andrew Holdgrafer allowed his

wife to abuse the boy and failed to take action.

Radio announcer, ‘Big Bopper’ Hall of Fame inductees

ARNOLDS PARK — Two people with ties to Buddy Holly’s last concert have been inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Music Association Hall of Fame.

KIMT-TV in Mason City says former Mason City radio announcer Bob Hale, who hosted the concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, were inducted in the hall of fame Sunday.

A plane carrying Richardson, Holly and Ritchie Valens crashed in February 1959 shortly after it took off from the Clear Lake airport, killing all three performers and the pilot.

The Globe-Gazette says Richardson’s son, J.P. Jr., says the honor means a lot to his family.

The Associated Press

DES MOINES — State govern-ment spent $29.5 million on over-time in the last fiscal year, and one worker averaged 51 hours of over-time a week, a review by The Des Moines Register has found.

The newspaper reported in a copyright story Sunday that over-time spending in the fiscal year end-ing June 30 dropped about 7.5 per-cent below the previous year.

Gov. Chet Culver said a drop in overtime at a time when the state has reduced staffing levels indicates state government is well managed.

“The fact that we reduced the size of state government and made a substantial cut in the state budget — all the while reducing overtime — shows that Iowa is being managed very well,” Culver said.

A majority of the top overtime re-cipients worked to care for disabled people in state institutions.

The top overtime recipient was Chris Jensen, who works at Woodward Resources Center for people with mental disabilities. He averaged nearly 91 hours of work a week for a total of 2,673 hours of overtime. That brought his $42,000 salary to about $129,200.

Jensen said he occasionally

worked 16 hours, then left for four hours before returning to work.

“That’s very, very rare,” Jensen said. “All last winter when they had those bad blizzards. They can’t just shut down like a factory. They have to have people there.”

Some say that amount of over-time was worrisome.

Ross Eisenbrey, vice president of the Economic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan group in Washington, D.C., said such excessive overtime indicates poor management of the work force.

“If somebody is working a full year of overtime, it seems to me the state, the economy and residents who are being treated by this person would be better off with another per-son hired,” Eisenbrey said.

Some of the top overtime re-cipients worked at the Glenwood Resource Center, caring for about 300 people with profound mental disabilities and illnesses.

Glenwood Superintendent Zvia McCormick has formed a group that is studying ways to reduce overtime.

“There are no easy answers,” she said.

Conlin will not let the issue go. She has challenged him to 12 debates in 12 cities with live audiences, and of-fers stand from several major Iowa media outlets. Grassley said he looks forward to debates but said his Senate schedule does not allow him as much free time as Conlin. Now, she’s play-ing off of Grassley’s wife’s comments.

In Iowa’s Second Congressional District, Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks wants a debate with incumbent Democrat Rep. Dave Loebsack. And while campaigning for Miller-Meeks, Barbara Grassley said Miller-Meeks should put increased pressure on Loebsack.

Barbara Grassley was reported as having said Miller-Meeks should no-tify Loebsack of a certain time, date and place for a debate and if he does

not show to “do the empty chair rou-tine.” The Conlin campaign, playing off of that comment, said it’d do the same.

The Conlin campaign is now ex-tending an invitation to Grassley to debate on Sunday, Sept. 19 in Des Moines, said Conlin spokeswoman Paulee Lipsman.Flat-out saying ‘no’

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who represents 33 Iowa counties in the 5th District, indicated earlier in the summer he was open to a debate. He even stated he liked to debate. That was before his Democratic chal-lenger, Matt Campbell, showed up at King’s town hall meeting on Aug. 30 and asked him in person if he’d sched-ule a debate.

“And my answer to that is judg-ing by the fashion in which you have conducted your campaign, you have not earned it. Thank you, next ques-tion,” King said, looking directly at Campbell.

into applause while others, including a man who identified himself as a tea party member, stood up and said King should debate Campbell.

Campbell pressed, asking, “How have I not earned a debate? I’m the Democratic nominee, I’ve won a com-petitive race.” But King ignored him.

“Steve King’s ego is causing a theft of a public right,” Campbell said the next day. “Every election year Steve King says he likes debate and then never participates in one.”

King has not debated a Congressional opponent since being elected in 2002.

“This is a different era in politics; in 2010 everything goes,” said Steffen Schmidt, professor of political sci-ence. “When your opponent won’t debate you, you’ve got to use every measure you can.”

Schmidt, who regularly appears as a political analyst on Iowa Public Radio, pointed out most incumbents do not want to debate challeng-ers because it doesn’t benefit them

politically.“Usually when candidates won’t

debate, it puts pressure on them be-cause the voters will start saying, ‘Well, why don’t you want to debate them?’” Schmidt said.

“I have long said I will debate if my opponent develops an issues-based campaign,” King said in a statement. “Clearly he has not and his most re-cent ‘fraternity prank’ at Western Iowa Tech Community College is conclusive.

“Any discussion in favor of a de-bate is therefore concluded. There will be no debate.”

Schmidt said whether it was a proper move or not for Campbell to appear at King’s town hall, it was a good move because it garnered so much publicity.Challenges around the country

Candidates challenging incum-bents to debates is not an isolated issue. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) has largely avoided debating her GOP opponents and agreed to one with her

Republican challenger Carly Fiorina. Boxer barely leads Fiorina in the polls, 44-43.

In states where there is no incum-bent in the race, like South Carolina and Vermont, the tactic of challeng-ing opponents to debates is employed.

Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, Republican nominee for Vermont’s gubernato-rial race, said he wanted 12 debates around the state against whoever his Democratic opponent would be.

Once he was certified as the Democratic nominee, Peter Shumlin said he welcomed the challenge.

In South Carolina, Democrat Vincent Sheheen told Republican Nikki Haley they should do Lincoln-Douglas style debates. Haley, who leads in the polls, cautiously said they would but Sheheen’s campaign would not dictate the format.

Campbell, Conlin and Miller-Meeks trail in the polls against their opponents, but remain hopeful that if they get their wish of scheduling debates the playing field would level.

Cyclone Jell-O

By Gina GarrettAmesEats Flavors Writer

Grilled pizza is a delicious meal that will make everyone around you jealous, and it’s simple, too. Start

with any pizza dough; you can buy it at the grocery store or make it yourself. Roll the dough out into individual sized servings; I suggest making the dough somewhat thin, it makes for quicker cooking and a crispier crust. Then choose your toppings. Bring along diced tomatoes, pizza sauce,fresh mozzarella, shredded cheeses, chopped onion, bell pepper, basil, pep-peroni, sausage, anything you would put on a pizza. Bring all the ingredients along with you in resealable containers and let each person at your tailgate create their own pizza.Brush one side of the dough with olive oil and throw it on the grill at a medium-high

heat, once the dough is golden brush olive oil on the top. Flip the dough and quickly put on the toppings each individual has chosen. If your grill has a cover, put it on to help the toppings cook quickly but check on the pizza frequently. Once the other side of the dough is golden and your toppings are melted or cooked, take the pizza off the grill and enjoy!That’s not your only option. Papa Murphy’s has a new promotion: Instead of the tra-ditional take-and-bake pizza, you can now order Papa Murphy’s to take and grill. All you need is the reusable grilling pan they offer, or a piece of aluminum foil. Pick up a Papa Murphy’s pizza on the way to the game, grill and serve!

Avocados are amazing.They’re sweet and buttery with a very mellow but delicious flavor. They are also a great source of fiber and healthy polyunsatu-rated fats. They are fantastic in guacamole dip.

But what else can you use them for when you are tailgating before a Cyclone victory?

• Rather than making gua-camole, take salsa and add diced avocado for a more interesting and colorful texture.

• Avocado quesadillas are very easy to make on the grill.

• All you have to do is place cheese, sliced avocados and a little bit of lime juice between tortillas and grill on each side.

• Place sliced avocado on hamburgers for a richer tasting sandwich.

• They’re also great on veggie burger options.

• Make a veggie “sushi roll” by placing avocado slices, cream cheese and cucumber on a tor-tilla and rolling it up.

• Or just add it into any salad for a unique variety of flavors!

• Enjoy your snack. • Go Cyclones!

ALL AMERICAN | BBQ BASH

More than just guacamoleBy Linda Berlakovich

He said that competitors need to find a balance between the natural flavor of the meat, seasoning and smoke so one element doesn’t overpower another.

Don’t forget history behind Labor Day

Editorial Schmidt vs. Arment

Jason Arment: Obama’s religion does not matter

Steffen Schmidt: Obama’s religion does matter

Column battle: Religion in politics

To honor the spirit of Labor Day, take the opportunity to look beyond a Sunday night available for partying to consider the ways in which the American labor movement has played in establishing your livelihood. Also think about the role it must play in American society if we hope to reduce inequality and enable meaningful, enriching lives beyond mere sustenance for its more than 300 million.

While Labor Day is more colloquially known for a prohibition on white shoes, a Monday off work and the autumnal partner to Memorial Day, its roots would urge a more serious tone be taken to the holiday.

The first Labor Day was Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City by the Central Labor Union. Congress established Labor Day as a federal holiday under the direction of President Grover Cleveland in 1894. Its establishment took place immediately after the end of the Pullman strike by 12,000 federal troops, an action that resulted in the shooting death of two workers.

Pullman, Ill., was a town founded by the president of the railroad company that em-ployed the town’s residents. Pullman owned the banks, Pullman owned the houses and Pullman owned the factory. After workers received a pay cut, some were taking home only cents from a week’s paycheck. It was this strike that President Cleveland declared a federal crime and dispatched troops to break the lines. In an attempt at reconcilia-tion, he gave the labor movement a national holiday — Labor Day.

The current climate in the United States toward workers’ rights is only somewhat improved. An August 2010 publication en-titled “The Global State of Worker’s Rights” lists the U.S. as having a mostly-free status, behind 41 countries including Chile, Belize, South Africa and most of Europe. It cites a growing willingness of corporations to vio-late labor laws to prevent unionization.

Paying a fine is cheaper than paying your workers reasonable wages. Additionally, American workers lack assurance of paid vacation; health insurance, for a few more years; paid maternity leave — much less paternity leave — and for those on salary, you may continue laughing at the idea of a 40-hour work week. Yet, still as a nation, we allow the power of unions to wane.

Perhaps it’s time for that to change. In 2006, Goldman Sachs stated, “The most im-portant contributor to higher profit margins over the past five years has been a decline in labor’s share of national income.” As banks return to high profits while unemployment lingers, there’s little doubt this trend has continued through the recession.

In an environment of high unemploy-ment, it’s tempting to say that staying em-ployed is the only right a worker should be concerned about right now, but recessions will come and go and the conditions of labor will remain. Many older college students will have witnessed ISU graduates forced to take jobs without health insurance, vacation, a wage sufficient to pay back college debt. Their struggle should be our struggle, as many of us will face their situation soon. We should work to make sure our children don’t face it as well.

So welcome back from your three-day weekend. But don’t forget the reason for the holiday. If organized labor isn’t the answer, start thinking about what is. The idea that the person working through a holiday yes-terday should get vacation time, health care and a sufficient wage shouldn’t be foreign.

It’s the future those in the labor move-ment have been working on for centuries.

Commentator Glenn Beck said one day af-ter his massive rally

“for God” in Washington that Barack Obama “ ... is a guy who understands the world through liberation theology, which is an oppressor-and-victim. People aren’t recognizing his version of Christianity.”

Is this an appropriate questioning of the president of the United States, or should religion be a private matter?

Given that the United States is the most religious of the liberal democracies in the world, religion matters a great deal in politics. The majority of Americans — 76 percent — identify themselves as Christians. Non-Christians make up 5 percent. About 15 percent have no religious affiliation.

Every American president

and vice president was raised in a household with protestant Christian affiliation, aside from former President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Joe Biden who came from Catholic households. President Obama was raised in a family environment that was very diverse and included Islam, no-religion, Catholic and Muslim schools. In various interviews Obama has never answered questions about religion the way, say, a traditional Christian would.

For most of American his-tory, a Catholic had no chance of being elected president be-cause of the fear that the pope and the Vatican would control him. Kennedy had to make a special and very public effort to educate the public that he did not take orders from Rome, and this action was very important

for his narrow victory over Richard Nixon in 1961.

There has never been a Jewish president or vice president.

When former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney ran in the Iowa caucuses and primaries for president in 2008, his candi-dacy was plagued by questions about his Mormon faith. He was never able to convince the largely Christian Republican voter base that Mormonism was “real” Christianity.

Right or wrong religion is a huge part of American society, law, values and, yes, politics.

Liberation theology, which is preached by Obama’s Chicago-based minister, Jeremiah Wright, is a very edgy form of Christianity.

In Latin America, Catholic liberation clergy such as the

Rev. Camilo Torres actu-ally took up arms against the government and the upper class and fought guerrilla warfare to overthrow the economic system.

It is legitimate to ask if Obama subscribes to this “revolutionary” vision of faith, something the president has dismissed as nonsense? In American politics, religion is not nonsense, and Obama should more clearly and definitively explain what his religious beliefs are and how these translate into his vision of politics and public policy. That’s especially important now that his faith has become an issue and almost 20 percent of Americans believe he is a Muslim.

In America, public opinion is politics, no matter how poorly informed.

I f you ever get the chance to happen upon a street magician doing his thing, stop to watch for a bit. There’s

a lot to be learned from their act. I like the card tricks, and of course the classic three upside-down cups with one covering some-thing — the way they whirl the cups around and stare you in the face.

I figured out shortly after my first encounter with a street magician that it didn’t matter what was in the cup, it didn’t even matter if you watched the cup really hard. It slowly dawned on me that focusing on any one thing would make you lose and that meant forfeiting money you put down to play.

Then I realized something else; the ma-gician wasn’t working alone. When I would win or help someone else to win, there was always someone who would ask me to leave or give me a hard time. As I focused on the game less, I started noticing more that there was always someone around to provide a needed distraction if the chips were down and the magician was struggling. They were plants — people that were planted there to help the magician.

Glenn Beck and others put forward that Barack Obama is a Muslim, and as soon as the American public loses interest in that, the cup will slam back down. Another will whirl forward to reveal the next thing, as the last cup seamlessly moves back. All the while, Beck will stare you in the face and smile. As soon as you start to figure the game out, something or someone will

distract you — the plants rarely miss their cues.

When something is so arbitrarily exchanged, it doesn’t matter. “How can you say that religion doesn’t matter when it comes to the president?” I know, it’s crazy to think like that isn’t it? Or is it?

There is a fallacy referred to as the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy — “after this, therefore because of this” — think faulty cause-and-effect arguments. This fallacy makes people believe that a person of their same religion will be better suited to lead them and also will tell you that there is a cause and effect between a president’s religious beliefs and public opinion.

I would put forward that most Christians don’t understand their own religion. To most people, religion is just a dogma passed down to them from their parents. If they don’t understand their own religion, how can they be expected to un-derstand a religion like Islam? If they don’t and are rejecting something they don’t understand, aren’t they just being xenopho-bic? It doesn’t matter if they understand, does it? Only what they think. Why do they think what they think? History shows that few bend their will to real critical thinking in the way that so few philosophers have guided so many. People think what they think because other people tell them what to think.

If religion really mattered to people, it wouldn’t have just started mattering to the extent that people say it does now —

unless, as I assert, outside influences are using sleight of hand to make them think it matters.

Let’s say it does matter, fundamentally, and all of the people who think Obama is a Muslim now thought he was a Muslim during the election. Sure, there were those that did, and made a fuss, but I can’t seem to remember hearing a general outcry about it. It was almost like it didn’t matter, and that we were trying to elect a man based on his own merits. That’s why Obama won the election by a landslide 365 to 173 electoral votes.

In recent times the issue of our presi-dents’ religion has come to the forefront; the cup spins deftly out, rises to show some-thing to do with our president’s religion underneath. I’m not sure what will be next when the cup is snapped back to the magi-cian and another is put forward, but when that happens, the new thing will “really matter.”

I do know that when trying to establish a cause-and-effect relationship, the cause must be something concrete — it can’t be something that can be changed at the drop of a hat.

When it can be, it’s not cause and effect, it’s a magic trick. You’re being hoodwinked.

This time in our nation’s history, when our first black president was flagrantly ad hominem, will be looked back on with more than just a tinge of shame — and is why call-ing someone a Muslim was used as an ad hominem will be considered as well.

Reflections on fatherhoodBy Curtis.Powers iowastatedaily.com

Children

At 1 p.m. on Aug. 28, my life changed forever.

My wife gave birth to our first baby, a son named Elijah Joel.

For those wondering, he wasn’t named for anyone.

My wife and I just happened to like these two Hebrew prophets and thought they made for good names.

To be honest, the experience as a whole was a little weird. Surreal actually may be the better term.

I had read stories, watched movies and listened to other people, mostly dads, recount their birth experiences.

Almost universally it seemed, it was this great transformative and emotional experi-ence for them.

When their child was born, there was this instantaneous, overwhelming flood of love for the child.

They would do anything for him. Throw themselves in front of a bus, etc.

As for me, not so much.I watched as my wife writhed in pain for

an hour and a half, pushing him out of her. When he finally did arrive, I thought, “Oh wow, he’s blue.”

I was glad my wife was done with pushing and that the baby was safely out, but I had no overwhelming sensation.

That probably shouldn’t surprise me too much.

I’m not a really emotional person. After the child popped out, the nurses

then prompted me to get my camera and shoot some pictures, which I did — after some oxygen got in his blood and his skin turned to a more normal color.

He got weighed and measured.I called and picture messaged family and

friends about him.People came and visited us in the hospital,

which is good, because being in a hospital can be pretty boring.

Overall, it was an interesting experience. It’s been even more interesting now that we’re home.

Obviously, he does standard baby things like eat, sleep and poop.

However, he does them in curious ways. For instance, sometimes when he’s hungry and I’m holding him, he tries to nurse at my nipple through my shirt.

The first time he did this, my wife and I really had to stifle our hearty laughter for fear

that I might drop him.When he sleeps, he likes to snore just like

his daddy.Except his snores are actually cute, since

he’s a baby.As for pooping, you can generally tell when

it happens because it is pretty explosive.

It always takes people by surprise when it happens, too, which is pretty funny.

They’re like, “Did he just ...?” Yes. Yes, he did.

Having a baby, much like getting married, is tough and has its ups and downs, but I’ve found that it’s definitely worth it.

Keep menu simple, lose weight logically

By Sean.Flack iowastatedaily.com

Fad diets

I recently read a book called “Eat This, Not That” that outlined foods and drinks that were healthy and those that were not.

It stunned me to see how many so-called healthy foods were actually horrible for your health. Yet people buy into this scam.

It’s a scary thought. I could give you examples upon examples, but really it’s best to check it out for yourself at menshealth.com.

Some people also have the worst logic about eating healthy.

I know salad has this immaculate reputation as being something healthy, but when you drown it with ranch, croutons and bacon bits, you might as well be eating chicken strips.

And let’s not kid ourselves, ordering a Diet Pepsi with your double bacon cheeseburger meal is not doing you any favors.

Despite the names, Vitamin Water and Anti-Oxidant Snapple water are not good drinks to be guzzling down whenever you have a chance. Organic isn’t always good.

And Applebee’s new healthy menu is anything but.

You owe it to yourself to look into this trick that food companies are pulling on the general public.

I know it’s tough to control, but the answer to weightloss is simple: Cut back your food intake, and increase your exercise.

I used to weigh 164 pounds, but now I’m 148. This transformation didn’t happen because of Jillian’s 30-Day Shred or some all-cranberry juice diet.

I simply started going to the gym, cut back on my snacking, cut back on fast food and started drinking water for every meal. And it’s not like I don’t indulge.

When I go out to the bars, I’ll have a beer. If I’m out with friends and we go to Coldstone, I’ll get ice cream.

You can indulge within reason. I feel this method is easiest. You’re not even putting your-self through torture or anything.

But people just seem drawn to the new fad, anything that promises instant results.

Losing weight is not an instant thing, though. It requires dedication and willpower.

If you don’t have that, you’ll fall prey temptations.

And I urge everyone who reads this to do a little research on your eating habits.

Columnist tells of life changes, introduces son

Kristen Hahn is used to playing in high school gymnasiums, but she never expected to be playing in one during her freshman year on the ISU volleyball team.

“At first I was really nervous. You know, [playing collegiate volleyball is] a big deal,” Hahn said. “But being here at Ames High School, it’s kind of just, you know, it’s my freshman year, and I’m used to playing in a small gym like this.”

The former standout at Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School has found herself a spot in the playing rotation, substituting for junior outside hitter Carly Jenson.

Jenson, who was filling in for junior Rachel Hockaday after Hockaday sustained a season-ending ACL injury, was forced to tape her right wrist from all the pressure she had exposed it to af-ter being given the starting nod.

“I just keep tweaking [my wrist] over and over with blocking

Now that fans and coaches have had the weekend to digest Thursday’s season-opening win against Northern Illinois, it’s time for the biggest rivalry in

the state to take the stage.Unless you live under a rock, you already know Saturday

is the annual Iowa State-Iowa game.And this year, maybe unlike many others, we’re coming in

with an abundance of storylines.There’s Iowa State’s impressive, and some would say

surprising, performance against Northern Illinois. There’s Iowa’s top 10 ranking. There’s David Sims

returning from suspension to a secondary that played well Thursday. There’s Iowa’s daunting defense.

Any one could be — and has been in many places — a story of its own.

But if you ask the ISU coaches and players, they’ll down-play the game’s significance completely.

“[The game] equates to one of 12 games,” said coach Paul Rhoads.

“Win or lose, it’s going into one of those columns like the Northern Illinois game did,” he said.

Austen Arnaud agreed, saying the team has to treat this game like any other. Alexander Robinson echoed his coach as well.

“If you get caught up in the hype and things, that’s where things could potentially go wrong,” Robinson said. “And when you get out there, it’s just another football game.”

That’s a great attitude to have. If you’re a fan of ISU football, then you definitely want to

hear the coach and his players are keeping a level head, and not turning one game into their entire season.

But can we really believe them entirely? Should we really think they only see their big-gest rival as “just another football game”?

ISU coaches, players and fans spent the early part of their weekend taking in a full serving of college volleyball.

The Cyclones hosted the Iowa State Challenge at their temporary residence, the Ames High gymnasium.

Florida International, South Dakota State and North Dakota State joined the host Cyclones for a busy weekend that included four matches for No. 11 Iowa State within a 32-hour span.

“It’s a grind for sure,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “You just watch so much volleyball in one week to pre-pare for four teams, its very difficult.”

All senior strong safety David Sims could do was watch.

He watched as his backup Zac Sandvig recorded his first career interception, one of three in the game for the Cyclones’ defense.

He watched as the defense held Northern Illinois running back Chad Spann to 82 yards rushing, and he watched the Cyclones post a 27-10 victory.

As the Cyclones prepare for the annual rivalry game in Iowa City, Sims will be ready to make an impact on the field.

The safety was forced to sit out the season opener after be-ing charged with unauthorized use of a credit card.

He has been one of the de-fensive leaders of the team throughout his junior — and

now the start of his senior — season.

Last season, he led the team with five interceptions.

“I know Sims and his char-acter,” said senior defensive end Rashawn Parker.

“He’s a good guy for us and works hard. He’s going to be ready to play, and he’ll make big plays for us, and he’ll do big things for us out there on the field,” Parker said.

Sandvig is also looking for-ward to having that extra help returning to the secondary.

“David’s a tremendous football player,” Sandvig said. “He’s very skilled and a guy you want to have on your side. He makes plays, he’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast. He’s every-thing you want in a football player, and it’s going to be a good asset to have back playing

In Iowa State’s 27-10 win over Northern Illinois on Thursday night, the ISU offense had 403 total yards.

A big reason — maybe even the biggest — the offense was so successful was the play of senior quarterback Austen Arnaud.

At coach Paul Rhoads’ weekly news conference Monday, he addressed the quarterback’s improved play in the opener.

“He did a great job of executing and running the offense,

Sore wrist forces junior hitter to rest

I hope as a football fan in general, that it isn’t just another game. In a game like this, I hope linemen and linebackers have a little extra fire when they line up against their biggest rival.

And I have to believe that the players walk with a little extra strut in their step on Monday going to class after a win at Iowa — one they probably wouldn’t have after a win against Kansas State or Colorado.

It’s human nature to play a little harder in that situation.

But in the grand scheme of things, they are exactly right.

I know there are a group of ISU fans who would rather go 1-11 and beat Iowa than win the Big 12.

Sure, the Iowa game means a lot — at the time. When you talk about last year’s team and how successful they were, do you remember the Iowa game?

I’d venture to say the majority of people would say no — and yes, that’s probably because of the game’s lopsided outcome, but I digress.

The task Saturday is obviously far from an

easy one for the Cyclones.Arnaud knows better than anyone what

mistakes against Iowa can mean. He even went as far as taking the blame for

the loss. His teammates will refute that in a hurry,

which shows how much they stand behind their quarterback.

That’s crucial in a big game like this, espe-cially if he makes a mistake early and they have to rebound from it.

But if they play the way they did in the first half against Northern Illinois, the task won’t be

as hard.Rhoads knows to complete that task there

has to be focus.“The game has got to be played with raw

emotion and enthusiasm,” Rhoads said. “But it’s got to be played with what I like to

refer to as a ‘one-play-at-a-time focus.’ You can be excited ... but then you’ve got to roll right back to the next snap and you’ve got to understand what it is you’re supposed to execute,” he said.

And now is as good of a time as any to take that focus and enthusiasm to Iowa City and dash the Hawkeyes’ national title hopes.

end with a non-conference match against UW-Milwaukee (2-1) on Friday afternoon.

Sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube led Iowa State to a sweep (25-15, 25-14, 25-18) of the Panthers with a career-high 15 kills while hitting at a .545 clip. As a team, Iowa State hit .400, thanks in large part to sophomore set-ter Alison Landwehr’s match-high 38 assists.

Iowa State then began play in the Iowa State Challenge on Friday evening against the North Dakota State Bison.

Senior and return-ing All-American out-side hitter Victoria Henson became the first Cyclone this season to eclipse the 20-kill mark with 22 as her efforts boosted the Cyclones to a four-set (25-11, 21-25, 25-14, 25-17) victory over the Bison.

“[Henson] absolutely took over the match at the end and that’s really exciting to see,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think all great teams need that type of player who can just take over a match, and she rose to the occasion tonight. We really needed her and she came through big time.”

With many teams avoiding her early on this season, Iowa State’s other return-ing All-American, senior libero Ashley Mass, bolstered the Cyclones’ defensive efforts with a season-high 24 digs.

Halfway through its volleyball-filled

weekend, Johnson-Lynch’s squad began Saturday against South Dakota State.

For the second time this season, Iowa State had four players with double-digit kills, led by Henson — who also led the team in digs with 14 — and junior Carly Jenson with 13 apiece en route to a victory (25-17, 26-24, 25-22) over the Jackrabbits.

Although her squad came out victo-rious, Johnson-Lynch was not entirely pleased with her team’s performance against SDSU.

“I thought we were a little sloppy,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I thought we got outworked by the other side, so I wasn’t real pleased with the overall intensity and effort out of it. We hit decently, we served decently, but our ball handling wasn’t up to par. I just don’t think the intensity was there on our side of the match.”

In the final match of the weekend against Florida International, Johnson-Lynch nearly cleared the bench as 13 of the 14 active Cyclones saw significant playing time in Iowa State’s 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-20) victory over the Panthers.

“We really wanted to play some other people this weekend, not just for playing time but to actually see if this [player] is a potential sub down the road,” Johnson-Lynch said.

“Whether another player is strug-gling, whether we want to make some blocking switches, whatever it is we wanted to get some other people in there and see if we could be a little more cre-ative,” she said.

The only two Cyclones to not see the court were junior outside hitter Rachel Hockaday, who is out for the season with a knee injury, and freshman outside hit-ter Hannah Willms, who might be red-shirted for her freshman season.

“We’re looking at [redshirting Willms],” Johnson-Lynch said. “With Hockaday going out it makes it a little more difficult, but we’re certainly look-ing at it and discussing it.”

As for the Cyclones on the court, the Henson-Jenson duo both reached dou-ble-digit kills in that match as well, lead-ing the Cyclones with 11 apiece. Henson hit for a .625 clip, leading a Cyclone of-fensive effort that hit .361 compared to a mere .105 for FIU.

Mass and Landwehr paced the Cyclone defense with 11 and 10 digs while Landwehr earned her first double-double of the season with 32 assists to go along with her dig total.

and stuff,” Jenson said. “It’s not a big deal. Now that I taped it once, I feel like I need to keep taping it.”

Hahn was given the nod to rotate with Jenson during the Cyclones’ three-set vic-tory over UW-Milwaukee on Friday afternoon after coach Christy Johnson-Lynch no-ticed the pressure the oppo-nents were putting on Jenson.

“I think they were picking on Carly a little bit, service-wise,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It’s very tiring for an outside [hitter] to have to pass and hit the whole match. And if some-one is working you hard, that can be kind of a tiring thing.”

Having Hahn available for giving Jenson a break has proved to be a successful strat-egy, as Hahn has been provid-ing a defensive presence that has excited Johnson-Lynch.

“Kristen is a great defen-sive player, and I like her en-ergy,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She makes plays when she’s in there. She brings the ball up, and she makes a difference when she’s in there.”

Hahn finds Johnson-Lynch’s confidence in her reas-suring, motivating her to go all out in each set she sees action.

“Christy has confidence in me, so that gives me confi-dence,” Hahn said.

Hahn likely will continue to see action as she has recently, but that also means she’ll be experiencing the challenges Jenson faces.

“It’s just the mindset,” Jenson said. “I need to go in knowing that I am going to keep getting served to, and I just need to respond to that better and just be a better pass-er, too.”

In five matches, Hahn has recorded 10 digs and one assist for the cardinal and gold.

“Whenever they need me, I’m always ready,” Hahn said, who has seen action in eight sets of the team’s last five matches.

“I mean it’s kind of my job whenever they need someone to come in and relieve a player; I hope I’d be the first one they pick to go in and do that,” she said.

In high school, Hahn led the Kennedy Cougars with 628 digs with 6.10 digs per game her senior year.

Her junior year, she record-ed the second-most digs in the state with 733 and 7.26 digs per game.

Even though Hahn may appear comfortable with the pace of collegiate volleyball, there have been a few things that have made the transition from high school to college an adjustment.

“The tempo and the perfec-tion that they expect from you,” Hahn said.

“Getting a good pass or making a good play and how much they praise you at the end and tell you how good you did, that’s really exciting. It makes me feel really good,” she said.

As each game passes, the ISU freshmen soccer players add more and more to a team that gets bet-ter each time out.

Friday night, freshman Caitlin Graboski was the one who stepped up.

In the 40th minute in the first half, Graboski was fouled while in the Creighton box, giving her an opportunity at a penalty kick. She buried the shot and gave the Cyclones a 1-0 lead. The goal wound up being the game winner.

The Cyclone defense was stellar once again, only allowing Creighton six shots on goal in the first half.

Freshman keeper Maddie Jobe picked up right where she left off after her first set of games last weekend and saved all seven shots that came her way.

With the win, Jobe remains undefeated on the season, and brought the Cyclones to 4-0-1.

It took 110 minutes from start to finish, but neither Iowa State nor North Dakota could find the net by the time the game was over, ending in a 0-0 draw.

Both teams struggled to find scoring opportunities through-out the match.

By the end of regulation, Iowa State only had two shots on goal, while North Dakota State had three.

Early in the first overtime, the Bison managed to fire a couple shots on ISU freshman Maddie Jobe, but she turned both away.

With time running out in the first overtime, North Dakota State had one final chance to

score, but Jobe was able to save the shot and force a sec-ond overtime period.

The second overtime only saw one shot on goal by each team.

Iowa State was able to get

a corner kick with about a minute left in the game, but senior Jordan Bishop was unable to find a teammate off the kick.

Jobe finished the game, saving all seven of the Bison’s

shots.Iowa State moved to 4-0-

“I think everyone played awesome, we didn’t miss a beat,” said junior right side hitter Kelsey Petersen. “Everyone played, starter or non-starter, everyone played the same, so that says a lot about our team when anyone can come off the bench and still get a lot of kills.”

In addition to Henson and Jenson, Petersen has been a key contributor in the early going this season. The junior from Kearney, Neb., is fourth on the team in kills with 47 and hit above .600 twice this weekend.

“I think I’m just jumping higher than I did last season because this summer I worked out all summer, I’m jumping higher and hitting harder,” Petersen said.

And her play isn’t going unnoticed by Johnson-Lynch.

“She’s just an exceptional athlete,” Johnson-Lynch said. “On that one-foot takeoff, she is hitting that ball very, very high. I’m just thrilled that she’s playing at whole other level this year.”

Another Nebraska native mak-ing her mark on the court early on has been freshman middle blocker Tenisha Matlock. Although she came into the program as a middle blocker, in lieu of the Hockaday injury, Matlock has spent her playing time on the outside and right side.

“She’s kind of our first-off-the-bench type player, whether outside or right side,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We feel like she’s just so physical, she plays so high above the net, and while it might not al-ways be technically perfect she’s just so physical, she can do some really spectac-ular things out there.”

The 6-foot-2-inch freshman from North Platte, Neb., ended the Cyclones last victory of the weekend with the fi-nal two kills in Iowa State’s victory over Florida International.

“I had the biggest butterflies in my stomach but it was so much fun,” Matlock said. “I was just stoked to go in.”

Iowa State (5-1) will begin its rivalry week by hosting No. 18 Northern Iowa at Ames High on Wednesday night.

The Panthers (5-1) are coming off a five-set upset victory at No. 12 Minnesota on Saturday.

“Despite graduating some good play-ers, they’re still a great team, so it’s go-ing to be a very, very tough match on Wednesday,” Johnson-Lynch said.

In their final non-conference match of the season, the Cyclones will travel to Iowa City to face a 5-1 Iowa Hawkeye squad on Friday. Both the Northern Iowa and Iowa match times are set for 7 p.m.

It’s a grind, for sure. You just watch so much volleyball in one week to prepare for four teams, it’s very diffi-cult.”

10 Reasons Why Studying is Better Than Sex

ACROSS

Today’s birthday (9/7/10). Priorities involving a partner recede now as you take on a powerful new role in your career. This year you move forward toward your dreams of success and greater stature. Make your own luck by relying on intuition to find the best strategies.

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 6 -- Today you do a circus-style balancing act between accepting responsibility and claiming independence. You can have both. Keep an open mind, and be willing to dance.

Taurus (April 20--May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Close the door and work in silence to accomplish more in less time. Warn others off with a note: Do not interrupt. Then thrive.

Gemini (May 21--June 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Transform a romantic relationship with greater insight into the desires of another. You get what you need in return. Love flows both ways.

Cancer (June 22--July 22) -- Today is a 5 -- You probably don’t want to adhere to family traditions now. You’re more interested in making big changes as quickly as possible. Enlist help from a partner.

Leo (July 23--Aug. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Take romance home with you if possible. Definitely don’t leave it on the desk at work. Pick up flowers on the way home. Good news comes from far away.

Virgo (Aug. 23--Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Your partner surprises you by throwing more money in the pot. Then you both need to spend time balancing the checkbook. Spend on basics.

Capricorn (Dec. 22--Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Pretend you’re in charge of the world, just for today. Use intuition and apply logic to get people to think, instead of just blindly accepting.

Aquarius (Jan. 20--Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- A business problem requires active listening and logical skills. Keep conversations private for confidence and to respect people’s feelings.

Pisces (Feb. 19--March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- You may wish you could shift attention away from yourself today. Although there are good targets out there, it keeps coming back to you anyway.

(CNN) — Online classified ser-vice Craigslist’s decision to censor its adult services section is a “good step but a continuing battle has to be fought,” a leader in the fight against prostitution ads told CNN on Sunday.

“I’m very pleased by this very solid and significant apparent step in the right direction,” said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who spearheaded a re-cent letter from 17 attorneys general urging Craigslist to discontinue its adult services section.

“I say apparent because we have received no definite or defini-tive word from Craigslist that the shutdown is permanent or com-plete,” Blumenthal told CNN’s Tom Foreman.

Blumenthal said he wants to broaden his fight against online pros-titution ads but that “right now our focus is really on Craigslist.”

“We’re taking it one step at a time,” he said. “We want to verify and con-firm that Craigslist is in fact shutting down [its adult services section].”

The embattled website has been under fire for allegations that it pro-motes prostitution.

“These prostitution ads enable human trafficking and assaults on women,” Blumenthal said Saturday. “They are flagrant and rampant. Craigslist has lacked the wherewithal or will to effectively screen them out.”

The section that usually reads “adult services” on Craigslist was replaced Saturday by the word “censored.”

It was not clear whether Craigslist removed the adult services and re-placed them with the “censored” sec-tion, which had a link that was not ac-tive. But for users who accessed the account outside the United States, the adult services link was still active.

Craigslist representatives told CNN on Saturday that they will re-lease a statement at a later time.

“If it remains shut down it will be a model for other sites, we hope, because Craigslist is by far the big-gest,” Blumenthal, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut as a Democrat, said Sunday.

He said that he would try to change federal laws to make it easier to prosecute sites like Craigslist.

“Craigslist says it cannot be held legally responsible for anything on its site,” he said. “My belief is strongly ... that we need to change that.”

In the Aug. 24 letter to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster and founder Craig Newmark, the attorneys gen-eral wrote: “The increasingly sharp public criticism of Craigslist’s Adult Services section reflects a growing recognition that ads for prostitution — including ads trafficking children — are rampant on it.”

Blumenthal told CNN on Sunday that attorneys general from three more states have joined his campaign against Craigslist’s adult services ads. Blumenthal didn’t say which attor-neys general joined the initial list of 17.

A Craigslist spokeswoman said at the time that the site agreed with at least some of the letter.

“We strongly support the attor-neys general desire to end trafficking in children and women, through the internet or by any other means,” said Susan MacTavish Best, who handles press inquiries for Craigslist.

“We hope to work closely with them, as we are with experts at non-profits and in law enforcement, to prevent misuse of our site in facili-tation of trafficking, and to combat such crimes wherever they appear, online or offline.”

In their letter, the attorneys gen-eral highlighted an open letter, which appeared as a Washington Post ad, in which two girls said they were sold for sex on Craigslist.

When the ad came out, Buckmaster wrote a blog post in re-sponse that said, “Craigslist is anx-ious to know that the perpetrators in these girls’ cases are behind bars.”

The letter also highlighted a re-port in May by CNN’s Amber Lyon, who posted a fake ad for a girl’s ser-vices in the adult section. She re-ceived 15 calls soliciting sex in three hours.

In a later blog post, Buckmaster said Craigslist implemented manual screening of adult services ads in May 2009. “Since that time, before being posted each individual ad is re-viewed by an attorney,” the post said.

CNN’s Deborah Doft and Nicky Robertson contributed to this report.

(CNN) — Two Montana teen-agers texting in search of some marijuana got the wrong number. Seriously wrong. They wound up messaging the local sheriff, and he messaged right back.

“They were one number off,” Louis and Clark County, Montana, Sheriff Leo Dutton told CNN. “Luck of the draw.”

Dutton said the 15- and 16-year-old boys mistakenly sent him a text message on Aug. 25 that read, “hey dawg, do you have 20 i can buy right now?” At first, Dutton said he “thought it was a joke” but decided to continue the conversation by reply-ing, “how much we talking?”

“I need 20 right now do you have any?” the teens allegedly texted back,

unaware that the person they were communicating with was the chief law enforcement officer in the area.

Dutton said he handed the case over to a narcotics officer who ar-ranged to meet the two teens later that day. After the officer showed his badge to the teens, one of the boys “got white and his knees started wobbling,” Dutton said.

Although the teens were on re-cord with their purchase attempt, the sheriff says they won’t face charges.

The parents of both of teens “took immediate action” which played a big part in the decision not to charge the two, Dutton said with-out offering specifics of the parental punishment.

(CNN) — The U.S. commander in Afghanistan on Monday criticized a Florida church’s plan to burn copies of the Quran on September 11, warn-ing the demonstration “could cause significant problems” for American troops overseas.

“It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort in Afghanistan,” Gen. David Petraeus said in a statement issued Monday.

The Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, plans to mark the anniversary of al Qaeda’s Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington by

burning copies of the Muslim holy book.

The event has drawn criti-cism from Muslims in the US and overseas, with thousands of Indonesians gathering out-side the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Sunday to protest the planned Quran burning.

“The burning is not only an in-sult to the holy Quran, but an insult to Islam and Muslims around the world,” said Muhammad Ismail, a spokesman for the hard-line Indonesian Muslim group Hizb ut-Tahrir.

(CNN) — Babies and children under the age of 5 getting less than 10 hours of sleep at night are more likely to be overweight or obese five years later, a new study suggests.

Researchers found that insuffi-cient sleep at night may be a lasting risk factor for obesity later in life and that napping cannot replace the benefits of nighttime sleep,” accord-ing to a study published Monday in the journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

“This is something we may be able to change to address the growing obesity problem,” said study author Dr. Janice Bell from the University of Washington. Her study analyzed

data taken from a nationwide survey in 1997 and 2002.

Bell found that babies and chil-dren up to age 4 who didn’t sleep enough at night were “80 percent more likely to be obese [five years later] compared to other[s] who had long sleep.” However, she did not see the same link to obesity when older children [between the ages of 5 and 13] burned the midnight oil.

Bell believes this is the first large, nationally representative study to suggest lack of sleep contributes to obesity in children, something that’s long been believed for adults. She says this research needs to be cor-roborated by other studies.

COUPON

since 1979

ROTC soldiers attended the Leadership Development and Assessment Course in Fort Lewis, Wash. During the course, soldiers were evaluated on their leadership development and GPA. Of the 4,700 soldiers in attendance, Bauman was ranked 67th for his displayed lead-ership skills and academic accomplishments.

Jay Soupene, professor and chairman of mil-itary science and tactics, said Bauman had the highest ranking out of the other soldiers from Iowa State’s ROTC program.

“It’s no question he was the most talented and outgoing student last year,” Soupene said.

Balancing service and schoolThe training Bauman received and the ex-

periences he went through overseas helped him excel in his classes as an animal science student.

“That first week of classes, if I hadn’t been deployed, I wouldn’t have made it,” Bauman said. “I was struggling.”

After a year overseas, Bauman came back with a better sense of what he needed to do to be successful in school.

“When I came back, I had really matured and had a focus on classes,” Bauman said.

Bauman’s hard work and determination proved successful; he achieved a 4.0 GPA his first semester back after deployment.

“He’s more mature than the average stu-dent, just because he’s experienced so much,”

Soupene said.On top of his responsibilities in the class-

room and the ROTC, Bauman was also involved in several clubs and taught some classes in the animal science program.

“I took every chance I could to get involved in the animal science program,” Bauman said.

Bauman graduated last May with a 3.9 GPA and was accepted into ISU’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

Plans for the futureBauman will start vet school next fall, after

he has completed Officer Basic School with the 949th Vet Med Company. He plans to work as a veterinarian, both for the military and as a civilian.

“It’s a new adventure and a new opportunity and I look to the chance to do that,” Bauman said.

Bauman said he enjoys being in the Army because it gives him a chance to serve both the country and the community.

“Any time an individual has the opportunity to give back to the community, they should do that,” Bauman said.

Bauman encourages other young men and women to enlist in the Army or other branches of the military. Educational benefits and per-sonal development are two areas Bauman cites as advantages of enlisting in the service.

“There is not another club at Iowa State that can have as big of an impact as this one does,” Bauman said of the ROTC program.

winners for this award so far, and it rewards people who have supported the College of Design whether it’s finan-cially or for work that the recipient has done advancing design here at the college.

What is the hardest or most frustrating partof your job, whether it is as an architect orteacher, etc.?

What makes architecture so frustrating is attempt-ing to assimilate so many ideas into one final product. You must take into mind the desires of the owner, the fi-nancial adviser, as well as so many other people.

You are the middleman, the common thread. Your challenge is to take into mind all these ideas, voices and agendas that are handed to you and balance them. Your job is to be a filter.

You must listen carefully to what these people want. The owner may want one thing, but the financial consul-tant will tell you that that is not in the budget. Therefore you have to listen carefully to what everyone wants, but at the same time add your own value to the product.

The hard part is putting together what everyone wants without losing the value of your own contribution.

What advice do you have for students going into the field of architecture?

Be calm and listen before judgment and decisions. Your job is to be a good and honest broker of the desires of everyone involved.

Also, sometimes people do not know what they want in the product. You must be a good listener not only in what they tell you but what they are not telling you.

Figure out what type of person they are and what their “wish list” includes. It is difficult getting students to understand the importance and how much of a challenge this can be while only learning in the classroom.

Being a truly good architect is something you can only learn through hands-on experience.

Engelbrecht’s historyAfter joining the faculty at Iowa State in 1969,

Engelbrecht has worked to help the College of Design achieve national distinction for excellence, as can be seen in the national rankings of its degree programs.

His most notable projects include the Maucker Union at the University of Northern Iowa. This earned national honors back when it was built in 1968, and in 2000, it was named one of Iowa’s top 50 buildings of the 20th century by the American Institute of Architects.

In 1991, he started the Rome Program, and since then he has helped it develop into a fully licensed branch of Iowa State. Through this program, more than 1,600 students majoring in architectural, studio and graphic design have been able to spend a spring semester in Italy studying design.

Engelbrecht’s accomplishments include earning numerous awards from the AIA. These include the AIA Iowa Chapter’s first annual education award and the AIA Medal of Honor for distinguished service to the profes-sion. He also won the ISU Order of the Knoll Faculty-Staff Award in 2009.

Most recently he became the 2010 recipient of the Christian Petersen Design Award, presented by the col-lege and given annually to alumni, staff and friends of the university for distinguished work that advances the de-sign and art professions.

>>INTERVIEW.p1 Iran

Punishments stay severeContradictory reports

swirled around the case of an Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned to death for adultery, with one Iranian lawyer saying Monday she had been whipped 99 times for another alleged of-fense, but another casting doubt on it.

A woman who was in prison with Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani told lawyer Javid Houtan Kian that his client had been lashed over a newspaper photograph which, Iranian au-thorities thought, showed her without a headscarf.

Iranian law requires all women to cover their hair, re-gardless of their religion.

The Times of London ran the photo on its front page on August 28, identifying a woman in it as Ashtiani. It later apolo-gized, saying it was not her. On Monday, the newspaper pub-lished an editorial calling the lashing an “outrage.”

“Ms Ashtiani has been imprisoned in Tabriz for five years,” The Times wrote.

“The prison authorities know exactly what she looks like and therefore must have

known that the photograph printed in The Times on August 28 was not of her,” The Times wrote.

The newspaper also accused Iranian authorities of punishing her “to make her suffer for an international campaign to save her that that exposed so much iniquity.”

Kian was not able to speak to Ashtiani, and neither the courts nor the prison would confirm the whipping, but he believes the other woman, he told CNN Monday.

“I know what she is saying is correct. If she is making this up, then how did she know that the reason for the flogging was over

a photo released in a foreign newspaper?” he asked.

Ashtiani asked the woman, who was released from prison, to tell her son she had been whipped, said Kian, who spoke to CNN by phone from Iran on Monday.

In July, Iran’s judiciary said the case was under review.

Soldiers fire on family’s car in Mexico, killing father and his 15-year-old son

MONTERREY, Mexico — Soldiers opened fire on a fam-ily’s car at a military checkpoint in northern Mexico, killing a 15-year-old boy and his father, authorities and relatives said Monday.

It is at least the second time this year that a family has been caught up in a shooting involving Mexico’s military, which has come under intense criticism for human rights abuses as soldiers fight brutal drug cartels.

Javier Trevino, Nuevo Leon state lieutenant governor, said soldiers apparently shot at the car when the driver failed to stop at the checkpoint Sunday on the highway connecting the north-eastern city of Monterrey to Laredo, Texas.

But the boy’s mother and uncle said the family had just passed a military convoy when the soldiers opened fire.

The Associated Press

Van der Sloot admits to extortion

Joran van der Sloot admitted in an interview with a Dutch newspaper that he extorted money from the family of Natalee Holloway, but his attorney in a Peruvian murder case suggested Monday that his client’s comments may have been mistranslated.

Attorney Maximo Alteza said he is not involved in the case of Holloway, the Alabama teenager who disappeared in Aruba after going out on the town with van der Sloot, and was reluctant to comment on van der Sloot’s interview with The Telegraph.

“Maybe there were some mistakes in the translation,” he said. Alteza said van der Sloot was not paid for the interview.

“I wanted to get back at Natalee’s family,” van der Sloot said. “Her parents have been making my life tough for five years.”

Van der Sloot faces a count of wire fraud and a count of extor-tion in the United States for allegedly trying to extort more than $250,000 from Holloway’s family in return for her location.
