Princeton Review, a test preparation and admissions consulting company, recently ranked Iowa State as number 10 on its “Professors Get Low Marks” list. The “Professor Get Low Marks” list is one of 63 lists that Princeton Review publishes annually. A few examples of other lists are: “Students Study the Most,” “Most Politically Active,” “Dorms Like Palaces” and “Lots of Beer.” The Princeton Review compiles these lists annually after surveying college stu- dents from America’s 376 Best Colleges. David Soto, director of College Rankings and Ratings for Princeton Review, said Princeton Review chooses the best colleges based on academic rigor. “You’re looking at the cream of the crop,” Soto said. “Only 15 per- cent of colleges make the list.” Soto said 122,000 students were sur- veyed to create this year’s lists. He said he did not know the exact number of ISU students who completed the list, but he did say that 375 students from each of the 376 col- leges completed surveys on average. Princeton Review contacts admin- istrators from each of the “best colleges” to distribute and promote student sur- veys. Students can take surveys at www. survey.review.com all year, and their an- swers are calculated for the next year’s lists. Soto said the surveys ask various questions regarding students’ lives. He explained that they use a Likert scale for their surveys, in which the surveys ask to what extent a student disagrees or agrees with a statement. In order to create the “Professors Get Low Marks” list, Princeton Review asked respondents if they agreed that their instructors were good teachers. ISU students disagreed with that state- ment more, or in a greater frequency, than students from other colleges. Soto said Iowa State has landed in the top 20 on the “Professors Get Low Marks” list for the past six years, reaching number seven in 2006. Vice President of Student Affairs Tom Hill said he doesn’t fear the list causing potential students to decide against going to Iowa State. He said that, when students come to Experience Iowa State, they will realize the quality of the ISU faculty. “They will look at [the list], and then look at reality,” Hill said. Hill said that he re- alizes some students are looking for reasons to not go to Iowa State, and that the list may affect their decision. However, he said, judg- ing from the record enrollment this year, the list doesn’t appear to have deterred too many students from coming to Iowa State. “I think it shows that students are using good sound judgment when choosing a school,” Hill said.

The love letter con-tains intense lines like: “Emma, I think you’re all the way beauti-ful. Not just pretty, but smart and kind-hearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you.”He continues: “We would have chubby little freckle-faced kids, we’d laugh all day long, go camping and play Yahtzee. Tell ghost stories by the fire.”Reps for Carrey tell CNN that the video is not actually a proc-lamation of love, but instead “a completely comical video.Carrey has also tweeted, writing, “Yes, my msg to Emma Stone was a comedy routine and the funniest part is that everything i said is tru.”

SALT Company kicks off year with campus concert
Photo: Bertha Bush/Iowa State DailyAnthem performs at the Salt Company kickoff Thursday.
Photo: Bertha Bush/Iowa State DailyCody Cline, associate Salt Company director, speaks to ISU students at the kickoff Thursday.Hundreds of students gathered on the south
Campanile lawn on Thursday night to take part in the Salt Company’s fall kickoff event. The event featured live music and speeches from Cornerstone Church members like assistant Salt Company director, Cody Cline.
“The Salt Company is here to tell the good news of Jesus,” Cline said. “In everyone there is the desire to be a part of something great.”
Cline spoke to excited students from fresh-men to seniors and even a few Ames community members about the importance of community and establishing connections within one’s faith.
“I thought it was really cool how open every-one is about their faith” said Kristin Cardinal, freshman in animal science who just heard the music and followed the green shirts of the vol-
unteers. “It’s great that we can come together.”Students streamed in and out of the concert
grounds throughout the evening. Many stu-dents sat in the grass to enjoy the live music and speeches.
“With the concert and speaker, it’s a unique environment for students to come and get con-nected and hear that God loves them,” said Jesse Reyes, junior in agriculture business.
However, despite the significant involve-ment of leadership within the Cornerstone Church, Cline was thrilled with the hard work of the students and said his key to the successful evening was to recruit the best students.
“Our goal was to get our name out there so people could get together and worship God,” said Casey Dague, sophomore in computer en-gineering who is involved in the international ministry of Cornerstone. “We did a lot of pro-motion and we got a lot of people here. This is awesome.”
The Salt Company will continue to host events throughout the semester including group Bible studies and Thursday evening worship.
Group’s purpose is to ‘tell the good news of Jesus.’

According to an ISU Dining press release, Frederiksen Court underwent a construc-tion project that included new ordering kiosks and a self-serve, one-time-through buffet at Hawthorn, 24/7 access to the Frederiksen Court Community Center
as well as an overall expan-sion of the Frederiksen Court Department of Residence staff offices.
Originally set to open up in early August before stu-dents arrived for the 2011 school year, construction de-lays caused the dining center’s opening to be delayed until yesterday.

“I’ve eaten here for the past three years, usually about once a week, since I’ve lived here,” said Aubrey Dalbec, junior in environmental science.
“I’m neutral on all the changes, but overall I think they’re a little better than last year.”
Maggie Steinhart, sopho-more in agricultural business, was more enthusiastic about the renovations.
“I think they’re a lot better,” Steinhart said.
“There are more options, and I’m really looking forward to when they install the touch-
screen ordering.”Both Steinhart and
Dalbec agreed that the new number system was a vast improvement.
“Now the center has televi-sions set up with what number is being served,” Dalbec said. “So now instead of workers calling out what meal is up, people can see when their number appears.”
“It makes it a lot less confusing for the workers,” Steinhart said.
“I think it will make every-thing just a lot easier to deal with.”

This show “recaptures the sound and cultural context of a critical period of American history through the lens of jazz music and its iconic innovator, Miles Davis,” according to the Iowa State Center website.
With live performances, ar-chival images, film and record-ings, the Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet pays tribute to Miles’ most notable tracks from 1949 through his Blue Note years, culminating in his master-piece, “Kind of Blue.”
Blast!The brass, percussion and
visual performers of “Blast!” will be returning to Stephens Auditorium in October.
“‘Blast!’ is a novel art form evolved from the showman-ship of outdoor pageantry,” according to the Iowa State Center website.
SpamalotMonty Python’s
“Spamalot” is back for a sec-ond time. The show was the winner of the 2005 Tony Award for best musical, and is based on the film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” The comedic musical follows King Arthur of Camelot and his Knights of the Round Table as they search for the Holy Grail.
For ISU students, tickets are $20 for most shows. Along with the discount, students also are able to pay $50 to pur-chase tickets for three shows by using Stephens’ Student Discount Card, which can be purchased at the ticket of-fice on the north side of the building.

AgArts hosts potluck to fund new projects
The AgArts council will host a grant funding potluck this Saturday, aimed to raise money for agriculture-relat-ed artwork.
The grant funding will be based on donations from pot-luckers and will be distribut-ed to the project that acquires the most votes.
The unique format is geared to provide an unob-structed opportunity for art-ists to have their work funded without worrying about pa-perwork and committees, said Joe Lynch, owner of Onion Creek Farm.
“I think it’s a great way to bring the art community to-
gether a little bit and think of a way to do some projects you might be interested in with-out having to go through a huge funding process,” Lynch said.
AgArts is an organiza-tion made up of nearly 100 members of ISU students, faculty and Ames community members.
When they talk about art, they don’t mean cornhusk squirrel feeders and bean-can birdhouses.
They are pursuing what Iowa Poet Laureate Mary Swander has called an “intersection of art and agriculture.”
“It seems like odd bed-fellows, artists and farm-ers, but they actually have more in common than you think,” she mused. “Just the fact that they’re in business with themselves is a huge commonality.”
The organization began
as an offshoot from a play Swander wrote for her stu-dents called “Farmscape” that met immediate success, and is now in its fourth year of production.
The AgArts Local Wonders Dinner will be at the MonteBello Bed and Breakfast on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
AgArts encourages artists to pitch their ideas for proj-ects, but doesn’t want any-thing more than a paragraph for a proposal.
Artists “just need an idea,” said Lynch, and artworks can be anything from a quilt, a landscaping project or even a play–so long as it encompass-es the aesthetics of art with the utility of agriculture.
“When you look at the old rural life or the new rural life, it was filled with art,” said Swander.
“But they were folk art, so they were practical.”

Scott and Krista Wrage, the married owners of Studio7 Salon and Spa, opened their business in January 2008. Since then, Studio7 has become a community favorite known for providing great service, sponsoring community events and stocking a full selection of hair care products with natural ingredients. The salon even pulled in three Iowa State Daily Student Choice awards for Best Haircut, Best Salon and Best Spray Tan in spring 2010. Studio7 offers a variety of services for clients of all ages, including hairstyling, massage, tanning and professional makeup application. The well-trained staff is very wel-coming, and the sleek design of the salon imparts a sense of cleanliness and modernity.
Making the dream a realityKrista Wrage’s passion for styling drove her to strive for a big goal. What began as a 10th-grade report about Wrage’s adult ambitions eventually turned into the suc-cessful Ames business we know as Studio7 Salon and Spa. In 2001, Wrage attended PCI Academy. After graduating, she became a manager at an Ames salon. “I took on a lot of responsibility at a young age, but I loved it. There wasn’t a day that I didn’t enjoy learning. Even through mistakes, I loved the whole process,” Wrage said.
After four years of management, Wrage was ready to take her expertise to a new level. She told her husband that she was interested in opening a salon. “He was very sup-portive and
automatically just jumped on, helping me out with my dream, so we started looking into everything,” Wrage said. From that point on, the Wrages spent the majority of their time working on business plans, search-ing for loans and visualizing their future spa. “One thing led to another, until we actually opened our salon five months later,” Wrage said. “It was just an incredible blessing. We just had faith from the beginning and support from family and friends.” The business began with Krista Wrage and one other stylist. She and her husband now employ nine stylists, two spa technicians and four receptionists. The design of the current location was even based on the couple’s ideas. Krista continues to work with clientele and manage her employees while Scott handles the salon’s business affairs.
Studio7’s passion Constant improvement is Wrage’s main goal for Studio7. “We give ourselves new goals and things to work on,” Wrage explained. Wrage encourages her employees to improve themselves through self-education. “I really wanted to focus on educa-tion. I want stylists in the salon to have the same passion that I do for the industry and want to continue to grow in their career,” Wrage said. Wrage’s commitment to education is underscored by her status as a Wella color educator. Carly Hubby, a stylist at the salon, is an educator for Sebastian, a beauty-product manufacturer. As well as wanting to spread knowledge, Wrage hoped to make her salon a part of the community. “We felt very strongly about it, and we want to do as much as can,” Wrage said. Studio7’s commitment to honesty and integrity keeps it focused on continual improvement.
Products Studio7 works with and sells two hair product lines. The first is Kevin Murphy, which is a natural, organic line. “It’s incredibly different than any other line out there. The whole idea is that it’s a weightless product line. It has a lot of healthy essential oils, but without the grease and build-up,” Wrage said. Both Kevin Murphy products and the biodegradable packaging they come in are natural. The second line Studio7 sells is Sebastian, which Wrage said was
great for “people that love many different things to try in the cup-board.” Sebastian’s leave-in styling product Whipped Crème won Styl-ist’ Choice awards in 2011. The line has gels, mousses, shine products and hairsprays that provide three different levels of hold. Its diversity guarantees that each of Studio7’s clients has ample hairstyling options. For clients seeking skin-care prod-ucts, Studio7 offers BeautiControl. The line features high-quality ingredients, has no artificial fra-grances and is good for skin from head to toe. The massage therapists Studio7 employs also use an organic mas-sage cream. Whether clients are looking for something natural or something that seems as though it was custom-made for them, Studio7 has products for all of them.
Hair Studio7 offers haircuts and color, but also Keratin Complex Smooth-ing treatments and deep-condition-ing treatments. The color products Studio7 works with won the Stylist Choice award for favorite color line and favorite lightener in 2011. Along with the haircuts and color treatments, the Keratin Complex Smoothing treatment is also grow-ing in popularity. “The Keratin Complex treatment is popular because it reduces curl and frizz up to 95 percent, so it’s good for people struggling with frizz and curl,” Wrage said. The treatment lasts for three to five months, so it greatly reduces the time one needs to spend styling
a cut.
Skincare Full-body waxing, facials and body wraps are all available at the salon. “The body wraps detoxify the skin so it’s smoother and softer — good before a special event or vacation,” Wrage said. The body wrap is also a great treatment because it rejuvenates dry skin. There are also two types of facials offered: basic and deep-cleansing. Clients can customize their facials to suit their specific dermatological needs. ”You can do different masks that add moisture or help with problem or aging skin,” Wrage said.
Massage The spa’s two massage therapists, Sou Vithasayab and Sarah Roy, provide many different types of massage, including therapeutic massage, bamboo massage, bare-foot bars massage and hot-stone massage. The bamboo massage is great for someone looking for a deep-tissue massage. Many clients like to alternate between therapeutic mas-sages and barefoot bars massages. “The barefoot bars massage is where the massage therapist stands on the bed and has bars that she holds on to, then uses her feet to do the massage,” Wrage said. “You would never know it was her feet.”
Spa The spa offers natural nail manicures and pedicures, but with a unique twist. “My whole idea was to have something home-y and different than other places. We have a couch set up and we offer our clients wine or a beverage while they relax,” Wrage said. The inviting amenities are reason enough to get a group together for a relaxing good time. Even while providing glamorous nail treatments, Studio7 works to “go green” by using natural products. One of these is the biodegradable slipper set offered to clients after their pedicures.
Makeup Many makeup services are also offered. Everything from makeup lessons to bridal makeup and hair packages are available. The makeup artists use YoungBlood makeup, as well as Beauticontrol. “If we do something new on someone, like a new hair color, I bring them back to our aesthetician and try new makeup,” Wrage said. Doing this ensures that customers are completely comfortable and excited about their new look. Studio7 also encourages bridal parties to choose its bridal package, because the salon offers a fun and relaxing environment. “We encourage our bridal parties
to bring in beverages and breakfast so they can have a good time and be comfortable. We really enjoy our wedding parties,” Wrage said.
Tan The spray tan is a popular service that earned the studio an Iowa State Daily Student Choice award. The spray tan provided is one color, but it works for different skin types. It typically goes one step further than a base tan. “It’s not orange-y, not sticky, dries quickly and we have a ton of people that come back for it regularly,” Wrage said. If you prefer a traditional tanning bed, you can also use one of those at the salon.
Events Clientele interested in getting more information can attend one of the in-salon events. At a recent Summer Trends event, the studio hosted a hair show and offered summer beauty tips, brow waxes, skin analysis, and food and drink for people of all ages to enjoy. Events are promoted through Facebook, printed materials sent to clientele and the salon’s website, which can be reached at www.studio7ss.com. Men and women of all ages are encouraged to attend. Along with in-store events, the salon also sponsors an out-of-store event each fall and spring. “We have an event that we do with Ayden Lee where we showcase the hair for the upcoming season, and Ayden Lee showcases the lat-est trends in collaboration with the Iowa State Daily and the Nightlife magazine,” Wrage said. Studio7 has also done the hair and makeup for the Iowa State University Fashion Show for the past three years. “It really pumps up our staff, who try new things on models and dif-ferent makeup techniques. It’s a re-ally fun and challenging event that takes us away from the comfort zone,” Wrage explained.
Your unique experience awaits Whether you’re looking to get a new hairstyle or enjoy a pampering massage, Studio7’s inviting studio and passionate staff will be there to give you exactly what you want. “We try to bring in clientele from all different walks of life. Our stylists have different personalities which attract and meet the needs of all clients that walk in the door, but all are highly educated and have experience with all hair types.” Wrage said. Wrage explained that the staff works hard to understand customer wants, ask questions and guarantee results. The way they do this is by keeping communication as clear as possible, so each client walks away with something he or she is happy and comfortable with.

Friday, August 26, 2011 | Iowa State Daily | ADVERTISEMENT | 7A
As you begin your semester at Iowa State, whether you are a new or an old student,
one thing you probably don’t pay enough attention to is Internet security.
I know that most people don’t understand computer security very well, and whenever you see a story about computer security in the news, you don’t look at much besides the cute picture of a masked hacker reaching out of the monitor to grab your wallet.
However, your security online is a real threat to worry about. When you spend tens of hours a week using Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other services like Foursquare or Reddit, the security of your personal information on those websites should be of paramount importance. This is especially true when using your laptop, smartphone or tablet on an unsecured network, like the campus Wi-Fi network.
Iowa State’s IT department should strive harder to educate students both about how to secure their computer from thieves and criminals and about how to stay safe on social networks.
I helped out with a push a few years ago to educate students about the security and legal issues surrounding file-sharing networks, so why can’t ITS now strive to educate students about securing their computers and keeping their personal informa-tion private? Is that not just as important?
So while you might not have had reason to hunt down the “CyberSafe” page on the IT web-site before (which is quite good, I
might add), here are five easy ways to keep your computer secure:
Update, update, update. Don’t postpone requested updates and if you can, update proactively.
Make sure automatic updates are turned on and note programs that you need to manually update from time to time.
Use an anti-virus monitoring program.
Iowa State provides free op-tions for students. I like some free programs like Avast! Make sure the anti-virus is installed, turned on and is set to scan the hard drive on a periodic schedule.
Scan occasionally for malware programs.
Find a malware scanner and use it every few weeks to check for malware left by websites and software on your machine after getting the latest updates for the scanner.
Put yourself behind a firewall for protection.
A good firewall can be your first line of defense in blocking hackers from getting in and pre-venting malicious programs from phoning back home. Use the built-in Windows firewall or try a free program like Comodo Firewall or ZoneAlarm.
Don’t open suspicious web
pages, emails or files.If it looks fishy, don’t open it. If
you already opened it, close it right away and run a virus scan. Easy!
Once you go online to sites like Facebook and Twitter, you put your trust in those companies and the security of their servers, but you can also help keep yourself safe from attackers by creating good passwords. You’ve probably heard that you should use low-ercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and symbols in your passwords. That’s all good, but did you also know that the length of a password is more important than the complexity? Passwords get ex-ponentially more difficult to break the longer they are, so strive for 10 or more characters to be safe.
You also don’t want to have passwords that are words from the dictionary, passwords that are super-easy for you to remember or passwords that don’t change from site to site. Some of the most popular passwords (that you don’t want to use) include 123456, pass-word, abc123, 123abc, monkey, and the name of the website you’re visiting. Make your password challenging. Try using a password created by combining the first letters of each word in an easy-to-remember phrase.
Another thing to remember when checking Facebook on campus is that unless the website you’re viewing is encrypting your communications to the site (you’ll notice a padlock in the browser or an address beginning with https), anyone around you with the right tools can read your password as you send it over the unsecured Wi-Fi network. That is why you
should always use the slower, secure version of websites or use a password-protected Wi-Fi access point. An easy fix when you’re on campus is to use the Firefox HTTPS-Everywhere plugin, which forces you to use encrypted versions of websites when they exist.
Even if your Wi-Fi network has WPA encryption (don’t ever use WEP), with enough tools and time, an attacker can still get in. As computers get faster and hacking tools proliferate, it will only get easier for hackers to look at the data on your wireless network. One technically useful, but scary tool coming out soon that just appeared at a hacker confer-ence claims to help an attacker infiltrate networks at the push of a button with only the use of an Android application. It’s a brave new world out there.
Lastly, I just wanted to remind you to beware of location-sharing services like Foursquare, Gowalla, Google Latitude or Facebook Places. You should be careful who can see your updates and make sure you trust them. If a malicious person could get your updates, they could potentially determine your routine, the location of your house and more just by following the GPS breadcrumbs you leave behind.
Be careful out there. The digi-tal world is a great place as long as you remember to put on the right digital armor before heading out to share, create and play online.

Do you remember why you came to college? It was obviously to hear the beautiful melody of fire alarms, ringing multiple times throughout the dark hours of the morning. To have your Community Adviser herd you outside to wait in anything from heat and humidity, to a cold, snowy blizzard until the fire department gives you permission to re-enter the building.
Or so you’d think, given how often that tends to happen to students in the residence halls. But yesterday, this wonder of college life extended beyond the dorms to MacKay Hall as students were beginning their classes for the day.
While I’m sure we could all use the extra exercise of walking quickly and carefully out of our favorite class-room or dorm room to heed the fire marshal’s orders, it isn’t everyone’s favorite way to get in those additional workout minutes. Perhaps students would be discouraged from abusing the Friley alarms if they were forced to do a few laps around the building while waiting for the fire department to arrive.
In any case, the fire alarm is not a toy. It is a tool that exists to be used in emergencies only. It is designed to help protect us from harm. The annoying features of alarms are designed to save lives and protect our property. So don’t joke around and pull the alarm simply because you can.
When they’re overused, fire alarms can be more than just disrup-tive and can be intimately dangerous. How many of you have woken up at 2 a.m. to the screeching noise of a fire alarm, the inanimate voice of the system telling you to get up and exit the building? You stumble out of bed into a dark hallway with flashing alarm lights and try to get your feet beneath you as you navigate through the confused crowd to the exterior of the building. There is no way to deny this waste of time, when it turns out there was no fire to begin with.
Whether you’re resting, studying or partying, false fire alarms get in the way of everyday routines. Their misuse affects all students, even the culprits who pranked the rest of us, because in the end they too have to go wait outside until Kingdom Come.
If an alarm rings in class and instructors have to leave class lecture or discussion where it is — abruptly — even if the professor is lucky and his class is allowed back into the room in a few minutes, his or her class will be completely distracted and the dif-ficulty inherent in teaching students who are busy using their laptops and phones in class only increases.
Do us all a favor and think twice before you pull that fire alarm. Luckily, laws exist that prevent a “Boy Who Cried Wolf” problem. Otherwise pranksters could get us in serious trouble one of these times.

Internet not as safe as you think
Justice
Roughly three months ago, there was quite a media kerfuffle over allegations
of sexual assault by the head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn. The story was that Strauss-Kahn assaulted a hotel housekeeper, Nafissatou Diallo. This past Tuesday, the charges against Strauss-Kahn were dropped — at the request of the prosecution, no less, who believed that the testimony they had received from Diallo was no longer credible.
It appears that Diallo had told several very different accounts of the incident at varying times, in addition to previously providing false information about a sexual assault on her application for asylum from Guinea.
With inconclusive physical evidence, the authorities were only left with Strauss-Kahn’s word versus Diallo’s. With Diallo’s testimony under scrutiny, and ultimately found to be unreliable, it is unlikely a jury would be able
to convict Strauss-Kahn beyond a reasonable doubt.
Strauss-Kahn could very well be guilty of the crimes with which he was charged. He may have simply managed to evade justice because his victim failed to main-tain the same story for unknown reasons. As it is, the varying accounts given by Diallo has cast significant doubt on her story. And Dominque Strauss-Kahn remains innocent until proven guilty.
It seems the public and the media too often forget this small fact: Simply because someone is charged with a crime does not ren-der them automatically guilty. In
fact, the French were somewhat shocked and outraged when the American press released pictures of Strauss-Kahn in handcuffs, be-ing led away.
In France, it is illegal to depict those accused of crimes in things such as handcuffs — it is believed that such images will do away with the “presumption of innocence” that the accused holds.
Unfortunately, those who are arrested or charged with various crimes are frequently found guilty in the eyes of the public before a trial has even begun.
While rape and sexual assault cases must certainly be taken seriously and investigated thor-oughly, sometimes it is true that the accuser is not in fact a victim. We may never know if Strauss-Kahn was truly innocent of the charges brought against him, but as it stands, Strauss-Kahn is still presumed as such.
It is the nature of our justice system that the guilty may some-times go free. A flaw for certain,
but at this point, necessary. The amount of evidence required to convict the accused and the proof needed is set intentionally high to avoid unjust convictions. It is viewed as better to run the risk of the guilty going free than to falsely imprison an innocent.
Some may view the Strauss-Kahn case as an example of a pow-erful man getting away with taking advantage of a immigrant woman. Until this has been proven, per-haps in the civil lawsuit that Diallo is bringing against Strauss-Kahn, I prefer to think of it as an example of a man being let go because there was no reliable evidence to pursue the criminal charges.
We can only deal in the facts in cases such as this. Because the current facts don’t support the allegations of Ms. Diallo, it is a per-fectly reasonable and acceptable action to set Dominique Strauss-Kahn free.
Strauss-Kahn’s release is reasonable

Editor: Michael Belding | [email protected] Friday, August 26, 2011 | Iowa State Daily | OPINION | 9A
As the father of three boys, ages 7, 4, and 3, I agree with the premise of Michael Belding’s article, “Teaching morals is important,” but I would like to challenge his article’s assertion that religion is the source of morality. Morality is not about what theological opinions you hold, but about how you behave and how you treat others.
In addition to being a dad who strives to raise ethical kids, I am also an atheist, and I have no doubt that one can be moral and ethical without believing in God. Let’s look at what research has found regarding the morality of nonbelievers.
In 1934, Abraham Franzblau found a negative correlation between acceptance of religious beliefs and three different measures of honesty. As religiosity increased, honesty decreased.
In 1950, Murray Ross conducted a survey among 2,000 associates of the YMCA and discovered that agnostics and atheists were more likely to express their willingness to aid the poor than those who rated themselves as deeply religious.
In 1975, a study found that college-aged students in religious schools were no less likely to cheat on a test than their atheist and agnostic counterparts in nonreligious schools.
In the most recent studies of religious belief among prestigious scientists, only 7 percent of members of the American National Academy of Sciences believed in God, while only 3.3 percent of the UK’s Royal Society said they believe in God.
There have been several interesting studies in which ethical dilemmas are presented to people of various faiths, including to people of
no religious faith at all.In the “trolley problem” experiments, for
example, atheists consistently make the same moral decisions that believers do. Maybe they’re just absorbing the religious values from those around them, you may say. However, adapted versions of these ethical dilemmas were presented to a tribe of people who had almost no contact with the outside world, and they too made the same moral decisions.
Phil Zuckerman, sociologist and author of “Society Without God: What the least religious societies can tell us about contentment,” found that the Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark and Sweden, have the lowest percent-age of believers and the highest percentage of atheists, and yet they are incredibly moral countries.
They have the lowest rates of violent crime in the world, the best elder care, the best child care, strong education and high literacy rates.
But aren’t they sad people who find life meaningless? Not at all — they have one of the lowest rates of depression and the highest
measures of happiness in the world. They find meaning in their work, families, causes that they are involved in, etc.
This doesn’t mean that atheism necessarily increases morality, although humanism, the ethical system that often goes with atheism, probably does.
Another good possibility is that atheism is correlated with some third factor, such as higher education, intelligence or reflectiveness, which might counteract criminal impulses. Neither do these data disprove the existence of God, but they are evidence that 1. people can be good without believing in God, and 2. that the morality of nonbelievers is not likely the product of being in a society steeped in some kind of religion.
So research does not support the idea that those who don’t have faith in Jesus are unrighteous, or that people become immoral when they lose their faith in God. Indeed, the existence of altruism, compassion, generosity, kinship and compassion can be explained very well by evolution by natural selection.

10A | OPINION | Iowa State Daily | Friday, August 26, 2011 Editor: Michael Belding | [email protected]
In a recent release by the “Princeton Review,” ISU students have reportedly given our professors one of the lowest
ratings in the nation. The report, based on the surveying of more than 122,000 students, has ranked Iowa State number 10 on the list of schools where professors “get low marks.”
Also in the top 10 are schools with rela-tively tough reputations such as United States Merchant Marine Academy and Rutgers.
I’ll be the first to say I’ve had several nega-tive experiences with professors at Iowa State — ranging anywhere from the professor who used “rape” as a verb unrelated to its meaning in lecture, to the professor who let us out of lecture five minutes late nearly every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
It can be safely assumed that my peers have had similar experiences with faculty and consequently share the same perspective; some professors simply aren’t the best instructors.
Regardless of the few negative experiences I’ve shared with professors, I’d like to point out the ridiculous nature of Iowa State claiming the number 10 spot for lowest student rankings of professors in the nation.
During my time at Iowa State in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, I have had the privilege of meeting incredibly inspiring faculty and staff. The willingness of professors and other mentors on campus to go out of their way to enhance my learning experience has been immense.
On a regular basis, I interact with profes-sors that take time after class to explain topics I don’t understand, invite me to office hours to further discuss a topic of interest, offer extracurricular opportunities to enhance my educational experience (and chances at getting into a great grad school), inquire about my plans for graduate school, allow me to vent about my frustrations regarding the current political and social situation — and offer tools on what I can do to change it.
Though I know not every student has this level of connection to professors, I’ve found all it takes is effort on the student’s part.
Faculty are incredibly passionate about what they study (why else would they earn doctorates and choose to enter a less-than-profitable career?); and instructors easily see hundreds of students a day, many of them extremely disengaged and apathetic about a topic that has been a life-long passion. Many of these individuals spend their lives convincing
students, peer review boards and grant founda-tions that what they have dedicated their lives to actually matters. Show a bit of interest and they are bound to get excited.
In my own experiences as a student at Iowa State, when I take the initiative on something that truly interests me, professors nearly faint from sheer excitement.
They want to listen to you. They want to add to your knowledge base, as well as grow them-selves from understanding your perspective. I’ve had outstanding experiences that I’ll value the entirety of my life thanks to faculty and staff in the department of sociology, department of women’s studies, Margaret Sloss Women’s Center and other LAS mentors housed in Catt Hall.
Iowa State may have made the number 10 spot for Princeton Review’s student ratings
of professors that “get low marks,” but I don’t believe this is an accurate reflection of our faculty and staff population.
Perhaps this rating echoes the fact that stu-dents should find what they are truly passionate about and get excited about it. Choose a major and coursework that truly captivates you — not one that will just “make you a lot of money.” I can promise you the success will follow when you find a passion.
As soon as we students get excited about and truly value our educations and the experi-ences we have while we’re here, faculty and staff at Iowa State will undoubtedly enhance the experience and support us every step of the way.

New York City provides more than Iowa can
While reading Jessica Bruning’s article about Iowa being just as good as New York, I was left wondering if what she wrote was an attempt at mockery or if she was being serious. I have decided she was serious and left wonder-ing how she actually spent her time in New York.
My mother is from two minutes outside of NYC and my father is from Los Angeles. I have spent ample time in both cities, as well as in Minnesota, Ames and downtown Chicago, which has been my home for the last few years. I have spent ample time in both big cities and small cities.
Like Ms. Bruning, I attended Iowa State and graduated a few years ago. I loved my time at Iowa State and would relive any year of my time at ISU. It was a fun time as I met great friends and had a great educational experience. ISU is a great university, and Ames is not bad for a very small city. Nobody is debating this.
Ms. Bruning contests that New York is filled with primarily chain stores like H&M, with only a few boutiques in Brooklyn and East Village. Her logic says that Iowa is just as good because there is Jordan Creek with the same chains. I guess if you are looking at
buying cheap clothing from American Eagle or Aeropostale, then she is absolutely cor-rect. Everyone seems to have the same jersey number in Iowa — 87. Fashion is more than just a few months behind in Iowa. Try a few years, at least.
Food — something else New York is world-renowned in. I don’t know where you were eating to think that New York as a whole doesn’t have cheap food, but again this is completely in-correct. You can go to almost any neighborhood and find cheap food that is better than most food in Iowa. Look at the per capita income in New York. Contrary to popular belief, people have to eat and not everyone can afford a $70 steak or even a $20 chicken-stuffed-with-goat-cheese dinner.
Bars and entertainment? Most bars are the same around the country. People are half of what makes a bar. I don’t know if you realize it, but most people are the same regardless of where you go in the world. We are all trying to get through the day and figure it all out. When was the last time Ames had a chill place full of couches and down-tempo electronica music?
Nightlife-like clubs? Good luck attracting a big time DJ to any club in Iowa ... ever. They play
every week in New York. Major artists in Iowa? Maybe every five to 10 years. Broadway musi-cals? I think we need to understand that most actors in those were not quite good enough to make Broadway, or stay there. It’s rare for a star from Broadway to tour the country. Touring shows are good, but not “Broadway good.”
I could go on for a long time, but this is lim-ited. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. I agree on some things like green space. Iowa is a quiet, simple place with low crime rates, but not much to do and not much culture. If you want an active and cultural lifestyle with variety, look to New York.

Letter
Our state is more than just cornfields, empty spaceThis letter is in response to John Romano’s
letter, “Iowa pales compared to New York City.” Personally, it all depends on what you are com-paring. Hank Williams Jr. said it best in his song “If Heaven Ain’t a Lot Like Dixie”: “Just send me to hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me.” I’ll stick with Iowa.
There are a few things that need to be made clear about Iowa. I do wholeheartedly agree that Iowa should be thought of as a quiet, Midwestern state with corn and clear water, however, I think many non-Iowans may be a little misinformed on what Iowa has to offer. There are many things in my wonderful home state that most ISU students never get to experience, sadly, because most of their time is spent in Ames, Des Moines or on the interstate system.
Iowa has a many landscapes to offer. I come from the middle of nowhere, on a farm, in southwest Iowa. We have more than just corn there including: rolling hills, pastures full of lush green grass, timber and livestock, all of which you can see when you pass through. One thing we are also famous for is our monster white-tail deer. It is one of a kind because of its beauty, peacefulness and the fact that everyone knows each other. Ames and northern Iowa are decent places live, but they do not begin to show the beauty of the state nor the kindness of its people.
I went to high school in Murray, Iowa, and graduated with 17 people. I drove to school at 14
years old, and did not have to deal with even one stoplight. With this said, I believe I can speak for those who are fans of the small-town Iowa scene. In places similar to where I attended school, there are people who plan to grow up and move away to a metropolis, but many of them come running back.
I, however, never want to leave. We all grew up without big-city amenities that most others wouldn’t dream of living without. We only went to Des Moines to buy school clothes or go to the State Fair. We were perfectly happy without “city luxuries”; our luxuries were at home. The best cuisine was cooked in a kitchen, not a res-taurant. It was prepared fresh, and handled only by those you knew, plus it was cheap (when my family comes back to visit they prefer to eat at my grandma’s house for every meal).
It’s not only the cuisine that is better in Iowa. The most fun is not an arcade, a play or an opera; it is fishing, hunting and many other out-door activities that float our boats (or canoes). The point I am trying to make is, we do not need, or desire, all of the things that Romano mentions. Many Iowans prefer not to spend their hard-earned money on city luxuries, therefore, there is no demand. If people around here want those things, they usually take a
vacation.The place you choose to live will only be as
good as how much you like it and the things it has to offer. If you can put up with the lack of food and entertainment diversity, love clean water and air, and enjoy a friendly population with low crime rates, Iowa could be the place
for you. For those of you who dislike Iowa and think that it sucks, just remember that nobody forced you to come here. You can leave anytime, and chances are most Iowans don’t like you either.
And don’t forget Iowa is not just corn. We grow other things, too.

ISU basketball is going global once again.Former Cyclone star Craig Brackins has signed
a contract with Maccabi Ashdod of the Israeli Super League. The Palmdale, Calif., native is joining a host of other NBA players, as well as former teammate Diante Garrett, to sign contracts overseas.
“It was a decision that I made probably three weeks ago,” Brackins said. “I felt instead of sitting around and working out, being uncertain about the lockout, that I felt like I had to go play.”
Brackins didn’t see much, if any, playing time on an NBA floor last season, but did see some action in the NBA D-League. The forward played in 18 games, averag-ing 20.1 ppg and 44 percent from the field.
His goal, he said, was to use his time in Israel to hone his skills and show people back home what he’s capable of. Because once the lockout ends, he’s coming right back.
“I have an NBA-out in my contract, so it’s not just me signing for the whole year,” Brackins said. “If the NBA doesn’t call back, I’m there for the whole year.”
Aside from just getting to play the game, Brackins is most looking forward to playing with guys he’s played with and against before.
Brackins said he loves the idea of getting to play against good friends and enjoying the friendly rivalry.
“A lot of my friends actually are in the Israeli league [that Maccabi Ashdod belongs to],” Brackins said. “Trevor Booker is one of my good friends, and he’s one of the guys that’s on a rival team. It’s kind of cool that I’ll be seeing a lot of my friends. It makes it tougher because they know your game and you know their’s. You’re al-ways trying to go at each other, but then laugh about it at the end of the game.”
The connections aren’t just limited to other teams. Brackins said he knows a few players on Maccabi Ashdod already, including former Texas A&M guard Josh Carter — someone Brackins saw a few times in Hilton Coliseum — and former Florida forward Alex Tyus.
“They reached out to me and told me they were ex-cited that I’m coming onto the team, and they can’t wait till I get there,” Brackins said. “They said they like the city and the fans treat them well.”
Overall, Brackins is excited to head to Israel despite any unrest that might be in the Middle East.
“All the people that reached out to me that have been there before say ‘I love the country,’” Brackins said. “That stuff didn’t bother them, so I don’t really see it bothering me.”
Brackins is set to leave for Israel on Sept. 5, and gets ready to play in October. His play overseas very well could earn him playing time for his NBA team, the Philadelphia 76ers.
He said the physical play and raucous crowds will ready him for what it might be like in an NBA arena.
“If I show what I do, if I put it out there and play well and give them something to see, to show that I improved, I think it can help me,” Brackins said. “I think it can help
my game because overseas is a whole different type of play. It’s a different type of atmosphere playing there than anywhere else.”

TEL AVIV, Israel — Greeted at the airport by fans singing and banging drums, New Jersey Nets guard Jordan Farmar said Thursday he is excited about playing during the NBA lockout with Israeli champion Maccabi Tel Aviv, a club he followed as a youngster.Aside from Israel’s own Omri Casspi, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Farmar is the only Jewish player in the NBA.Farmar is one of the highest-profile players to play for Maccabi, the runner-up in the Euroleague last season and an organization he said is “commit-ted to winning.”Farmar won two NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers before joining the Nets in 2010. The 6-foot-2 guard will play for Tel Aviv as long as the lockout continues.“I’m committed to this team, to the coaching staff and the orga-nization for the time I am here and I want to do my part to help the team grow,” Farmar said at a news conference at Maccabi’s Nokia Arena. “Leaving at the end is not some-thing I’m looking forward to ... but there is a business aspect to it. Part of my contract says when the NBA restarts I have to go back.”Farmar expects to adjust eas-ily to the European basketball game and fit in well with a deep Maccabi squad.“I’m here to be a positive influ-ence,” he said. “I’m a leader by nature, whether I’m on the floor or not. I’m not here to show anybody up. I’m just trying to be a member of the team, a positive influence and whatever they ask of me I’ll do.”

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com
Almost a week away from Iowa State’s season-opening game against Northern Iowa, the defense has found itself in the midst of change.
Junior A.J. Klein, who started all 12 games last season at strong-side linebacker, has been moved to middle linebacker with either C.J. Morgan or Deon Broomfield, both normal contributors at nickel back, occupying the strong-side slot.
“We’re more of a nickel-based team, if you would ask what our base team was, it’s nickel,” said coach Paul Rhoads.
“The Sam linebacker and nickel spot is the same spot. If it’s a two-back set and that guy’s got to scoot in, he just scoots in and we call him a Sam at that
point. It’s the same position.”Klein’s shift to middle has demoted redshirt se-
nior Matt Tau’fo’ou to second-string one week after being named the starter for that position.
“Every position is competitive,” Tau’fo’ou said. “No matter whether it’s linebacker, quarterback, re-ceivers or anything. I think every day each one of us players are out there trying to compete and just make ourselves better because I think competing will help make each other better.”
Broomfield, who is listed as 194 pounds on the team roster, said he does not mind the different style of play that linebacker provides.
“I kind of like it because I like being up in the box,” Broomfield said. “It’s a lot easier. Once you get the reads, you get the play faster and it’s a lot [more] physical, that’s the type of ball I like to play.”
Morgan is not much larger than Broomfield, weighing in at only 207 pounds.
This scheme, however, is not set in stone and is subject to change depending on the differing offens-es the Cyclones are slated to face this season.
“If we were playing a power team, we’d change and have three prototype linebackers out there as opposed to Deon or C.J.,” Rhoads said. “But they can both still execute those responsibilities.”
The decision to move Klein to middle and demote Tau’fo’ou was made due to Klein’s familiarity to the position in nickel packages in the past.
“When we put C.J. [or Deon] at Sam/nickel, then that makes A.J. the full-time Mike linebacker now,” said defensive coordinator Wally Burnham.
“So he’s not having to learn two positions like he did last year.”

State Gym
State Gym renovations bring challengesWith an anticipated record incoming class — which is esti-
mated at 4,654 —now settled at Iowa State, renovations of State Gym press on, causing a potential strain for Recreation Services.
The $52.8 million project, which includes renovations to Lied Recreation Athletic Center and Beyer Hall, along with State Gym — and a 94,000-gross square-foot addition to it — was delayed when the contractor was unable to obtain enough coil zinc mate-rials to complete construction.
State Gym, which was built in 1913, was set to re-open in October after more than two years of work. However, the re-open-ing has now been pushed back to spring 2012.
Due to the delay, the university has made the decision to rec-ommend to the Board of Regents an $89.95 credit for full-time students, a prorated credit for part-time students and a credit for students who were charged this past summer.
Vice President of Business and Finance Warren Madden doesn’t believe the plan will be a problem when proposed Sept. 22 and feels it’s the right thing to do since students can’t use the
facility.“Students have financial challenges and we’re sensitive to
that,” Madden said.While a refund will likely make the wait easier for students, it
could cause some hectic times for Rec Services, which has been anticipating the State Gym renovation to solve previously exist-ing space concerns.
“Obviously with the addition and expansion of State Gym, we are already in a space problem,” said Michael Giles, director of Recreation Services. “That’s what State Gym is doing for us; it’s enabling us to expand our programs and our services and our fa-cilities to meet the needs of the student body.”
A student body that continues to grow adds yet one more challenge.
“We do expect to see a greater demand on our programs and a greater demand on our current existing facilities, Lied and Beyer and our outdoor fields,” Giles said. “But it’s also a challenge for us to take what we currently offer and expand that out, even with some of the limited resources we may have at the moment due to State Gym not being ready yet.”
The previously expected re-opening of State Gym this se-
mester had given the intramurals department hopes to return intramural sports back to its previous home on the west side of campus.
“We wanted to go back to where Lied would be an open rec fa-cility and [State Gym] would be more for intramurals,” said Russ Jones, assistant director of intramurals.
Those plans will be put on hold while Rec Services will instead focus its attention toward reaching a growing student body and making sure there is room to participate for all who are interested.
“Our numbers are going to grow — number of teams, number of participants,” Jones said. “It might create some challenges from field space to court space depending on what sport we’re talking about, but those are challenges we’re excited about.”
Meanwhile, Giles is excited about the new choices students will have when State Gym finally does open its doors.
“Our students at Eaton Hall and Martin won’t have to try to make that decision, ‘Do I want to walk across campus? Do I want to get on the bus to go all the way across campus to Lied?’” Giles said. “They’ll be able to step right outside their door and walk right into State Gym.”
Just as soon as construction is complete.

The ISU soccer team will have its work cut out for it Sunday, when the Cyclones face the No. 23 team, Washington, in Madison, Wis.
It will be the team’s first test of the season, and the Cyclones (2-0) hope to contin-ue the defense that has allowed just one goal in four games this season, two of which were ex-hibition games.
“I think there’s a lot of ex-perience back there now with Meredith Skitt and [Jessica Stewart] back there now,” said sophomore goalkeeper Maddie Jobe. “I think we’ve just been able to communi-cate a lot better because hav-ing one year under the belt and getting used to things and just being comfortable with each other.”
Jobe’s 2010 season got off to an unexpected start. Then-senior keeper Ashley Costanzo got injured in the third game, causing Jobe to go on to start the rest of the sea-son, which she said was a big learning experience.
“Some things were tough, but I felt like I never had a time to just back down and kind of feel bad for myself,” Jobe said. “I just had to keep fighting through it, keep learning new things, and I could see my-self improving end of fall and spring season. It’s been fun, I just keep learning new things.”
The Cyclone have never faced the Huskies (1-0) before, and coach Wendy Dillinger said they will be sticking to the basics for the team they know
nothing about.“[We need to be] focus-
ing on the general things that we need to do in terms of just high-pressure defense, re-sponsible defending, tracking runners and being dynamic in our attack,” Dillinger said.
Dillinger said they hope to get more information on Washington after the Huskies play Wisconsin on Friday night.
The Cyclones have shut out each of their first two op-ponents 2-0, and sophomore midfielder Emily Goldstein said they need to improve their ability to work off the ball.
“It’s kind of just working smart and working hard at the
same time, so even if we don’t think we’re going to get the ball,” Goldstein said. “We need to make sure we’re making that run and we need to make sure that our final pass into the 18 to score that goal, it needs to be more on.”
The Cyclones take on Green Bay at 7 p.m. Friday before facing Washington on Sunday, which kicks off at 11 a.m.
“We’ve had so many oppor-tunities,” Goldstein said. “We build up, we build up, and then that final pass, we just keep messing up, so we’ve been working a lot on that this week, and a lot more on dynamically moving on and off the ball.”

On Saturday, the 18th-ranked ISU volley-ball team will enter its second day of competi-tion at the NIU Invitational, where it will take on both the IUPUI Jaguars and the Northern Illinois Huskies.
“This weekend will be very tough for us. Northern Illinois is picked to win the MAC, probably for the first time ever,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “For us not knowing exactly and having a lot of questions still, it’ll be a really tough weekend.
IUPUI is returning seven players from its 8-22 campaign in 2010, including second-team All-Summit player Shari Bernhardt.
Bernhardt has collected more than 500 digs in each of the past two seasons. In addi-tion to Bernhardt, the Jaguars return sopho-more Alexis Meeks, a Summit League All-Freshman Team selection from a year ago. Meeks led the team in assists last season with 901.
“Basically our whole preseason is tough,” said Cyclone outside hitter Carly Jenson. “This month is going to test everyone in our abilities and our stamina. Every time we play we’re going to have to be ready to go.”
After facing IUPUI at 10 a.m. on Saturday,
the Cyclones will have little time to rest before their 2 p.m. matchup with the Mid-American Conference preseason favorite NIU Huskies.
The Huskies are coming off a 27-win sea-son in 2010, the most victories for the squad since 1998.
NIU return two Preseason All-MAC team members in sophomore outside hitter Lauren Wicinski and senior setter Kristin Hoffman.
Wicinski is coming off a huge season in which she set school freshman records in aces (71), kills (636) and points (742.5) while averaging 4.82 kills per set, good for 6th best in the nation.
Hoffman averaged 11.51 assists per set, ranking second in the MAC and 17th in na-tion in that category.
“I think we’re definitely ready to see where we stack up with other teams and just play a game, just to play somebody new and see some new stuff,” said Cyclone middle blocker Jamie Straube. “They’re great teams, but we’re a great team also. We can’t get too focused on the team we’re playing. It’s just more important to see if we can go out there and how well we can compete at this level.”
The Cyclones will kick off Saturday morn-ing’s action at the NIU Invitational in DeKalb, Ill., at 10 a.m. against IUPUI.

NEW YORK — East Coast refineries are likely to close in advance of Hurricane Irene’s arrival this weekend, analysts say. The shutdowns are already boosting gasoline prices.
The storm pounded the Bahamas Thursday with winds of 115 mph and it could reach East Coast re-fineries, which are concen-trated in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, by Sunday afternoon.
Refineries are already starting to turn off equipment.
“Even if the storm even-tually misses them, they can’t take chances,” says Ben Brockwell at the Oil Price Information Service, which monitors fuel shipments around the country.
Refineries are sprawling complexes of concrete and steel that turn oil into gaso-line, diesel and other kinds of fuels. While the main build-
ings are designed to with-stand hurricane-force winds and earthquakes, some of their pipes, cooling towers and power lines are suscep-tible to wind damage. Utilities
are expecting widespread power outages from winds and downed trees.
It takes several days for a refinery to start operating again following a shutdown.
And many would need almost a month to get back to full operation.
Gasoline futures rose nearly 2 percent Thursday.
Tom Bentz, an analyst
at BNP Paribas Commodity Futures, said traders are bet-ting that supplies may be squeezed.
“There’s the potential for certainly coastal flooding, potential for refinery outages, potential for shipping delays, things like that,” Bentz says.
Drivers should also see pump prices rise this week-end as Irene approaches. People are now paying any-where from $3.37 a gallon in South Carolina to $3.91 in Connecticut. Gasoline is down 40 cents from its peak of $3.98 on May 5. But it’s still 87 cents higher than at this time last year.
Shutdowns of more than a few days would put serious pressure on fuel supplies and prices. Fuel stockpiles are already low because distribu-tors need to switch to win-tertime grades of gas, which starts being sold September.
“Anything longer than a few days could be a problem,” Brockwell says.
Three years ago, pump
prices jumped 21 cents a gallon in just eight days as Hurricane Ike swept through the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall at Galveston, Texas.
East Coast refineries are located in Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. They account for 7 percent of the nation’s refining capabil-ity, producing more than 19 million gallons of gasoline and diesel a day, according to the Energy Information Administration. Other refin-ing hubs are along with U.S. Gulf and West Coast.
Refinery operators must decide about 72 hours before a hurricane hits whether to go into what is called “cold shut-down.” Furnaces are turned off and fluids are drained from the refining vessels and into storage tanks.
Jeff Hazel, the senior di-rector for refining technology at the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association says refiners are most concerned about losing power due to high winds.

BOISE, Idaho — The fam-ily of a slain University of Idaho graduate student wants to know how the school responded to a complaint she filed this sum-mer against a professor who sometimes referred to himself as “the beast” and, police say, eventually killed her after their romance ended.
But the university so far will not disclose what actions were taken after Katy Benoit, 22, complained earlier this year about Ernesto A. Bustamante, 31, who police say committed suicide in a Moscow hotel room after killing her outside her home late Monday.
Benoit was shot multiple times with a .45-caliber hand-gun. Her family called on the university for disclosure in statement Wednesday.
“We hope that the University of Idaho will be forthcoming in disclosing everything that went on this past summer in response to Bustamante’s behavior toward
Katy and others, including the university’s involvement,” her family said.
The family issued the state-ment after the release of court documents that offered details of the relationship between Bustamante and Benoit, in-cluding violent encounters described by friends and room-mates. Benoit’s roommates told police her romance with Bustamante ended in March and after the breakup, Benoit had said Bustamante pointed a handgun at her on multiple oc-casions and at one point had put a gun in her mouth, according to a police affidavit.
Benoit’s roommates told police she filed a complaint with the university in June and Bustamante was either fired or forced to resign as a result.
The university confirmed Bustamante resigned effective last Friday, but has declined to comment on employment, the existence of a relationship between him and a student, or any actions that were taken with respect to Bustamante and Benoit, citing public records
laws and school policies.The university instead de-
tailed, at length, procedures that would apply in cases where the school is notified of a relation-ship between a faculty member and a student and there are alle-gations of inappropriate behav-ior by the instructor or a com-plaint of sexual misconduct.
School officials said the mat-ter would be investigated as sex-ual harassment by the universi-ty’s Office of Human Rights and if evidence of a “credible threat” to the student is found, the uni-versity says a team of university and non-university profession-als are assembled to assess the threat and direct an appropriate response.
The person found at risk is then counseled on how to avoid or minimize the risk, university officials said.
“Where appropriate, law en-forcement is engaged and per-sons at risk are also encouraged to make their own contacts with law enforcement,” the univer-sity said in a statement issued late Wednesday. School officials did not immediately return
phone calls Thursday from The Associated Press.
School officials said there is no court record of Benoit seek-ing a restraining order, though her family said Wednesday they believed she had. The AP was unable to confirm that a re-straining order had been issued against Bustamante in Latah County, where the university is based.
Benoit’s family said she had become increasingly alarmed about Bustamante’s behavior and had taken steps to get away from the man after their rela-tionship soured. Benoit’s room-mates told police they had also been concerned for her well-being because Bustamante had weapons and multiple personalities.
Rowdy J. Hope identified himself as a close friend of Bustamante and confirmed the former professor “had multiple handguns and multiple per-sonality disorders to include one Bustamante calls a ‘psy-chopathic killer’ and another Bustamante calls ‘the beast,’ “ according to the police affidavit.

UNITED NATIONS — The U.S. and South Africa reached a deal Thursday that will release $1.5 billion in frozen Libyan assets in American banks which the U.S. is earmarking for the cash-strapped rebels fighting to oust Moammar Gadhafi.
South Africa had blocked agreement in the Security Council committee monitor-ing sanctions against Libya on unfreezing the money over concerns that it implied recognition of the opposi-tion National Transitional Council. South Africa has not recognized the rebel govern-ment and said neither has the African Union nor the United Nations.
Mark Kornblau, spokes-man for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, said the U.S. never intended its request to unfreeze the Libyan assets to imply recognition of any gov-ernment. He said the wording
has been changed to say that the money will go to “relevant authorities” — and the U.S. will earmark the $1.5 billion for the National Transitional Council.
The United States had called for a vote Thursday af-ternoon on a Security Council resolution that would have au-thorized the release of the fund unless South Africa changed its mind and joined consensus in the sanctions committee. While the committee requires unanimous agreement of all 15 council members, a resolution does not.
With South Africa lifting its objection, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice welcomed the de-cision by the Libya sanctions committee “to release $1.5 bil-lion dollars in Libyan assets to meet the critical humanitarian needs of the Libyan people.”
“Today’s action demon-strates the international com-munity’s solidarity with the brave people of Libya at this historic moment,” Rice said in a statement.

BAGHDAD — Bombs killed at least 14 people across Iraq Thursday, including eight police officers and a soldier, in the latest strike against Iraqi security forces as U.S. troops prepare to leave.
Gunmen attacked a police station Thursday in the town of Karmah, about 50 miles west of Baghdad. After exchanging gunfire with the policemen, the gunmen withdrew and a car bomb exploded near the police station, killing five of the po-lice officers, Iraqi police and hospital officials said.
About 30 minutes later a parked car bomb exploded near a police
checkpoint in a village outside of Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad.
Three policemen and one civilian were killed in the second attack, of-ficials said.
Fallujah was the scene of fierce fighting between U.S. troops and Sunni militants in 2004. The city has since revitalized, but bombings and attacks against Iraqi security forces who are seen as allied with the Shiite-led government are still common.
In the southern city of Basra, a suicide bomber blew up his vehicle near a Shiite mosque, said Ayad al-Emarah, press secretary for the Basra provincial governor. Three worshippers died and another 50 were injured, said hospital and morgue officials.
Such attacks, especially those involving a suicide bomber, are rare in Basra, which has seen increas-
ing foreign investment and foreign visitors as Iraq tries to boost its oil exports.
Earlier in the day, a roadside bomb exploded near an Iraqi army checkpoint in eastern Mosul, police said. One soldier died in the after-noon blast in the city that was once an al-Qaida hotbed.
Al-Qaida’s footprint recently has shrunk in Mosul, located 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, but the Iraqi wing of the terror group remains focused on thwarting Iraq’s govern-ment and security forces.
In Baghdad, a car bomb killing one passer-by and wounded 17 other people as an Iraqi army convoy drove by al-Mustansiriya University in a Shiite neighborhood.
A Baghdad policeman said 11 sol-diers were among the wounded.
Cars parked along the street were also damaged in Thursday’s
explosion.The casualties were confirmed
by a medic at the nearby al-Kindi hospital.
All officials spoke on condi-tion of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
Violence has dropped across Iraq since the days when the country tee-tered on the brink of civil war just a few years ago, but deadly attacks still happen nearly every day.
Iraqi security forces are often targeted by insurgents trying to ex-ploit weaknesses as U.S. troops pre-pare to leave the country by the end of December, as required under a 2008 security agreement.
However, U.S. and Iraqi officials are negotiating whether to keep some American troops in Iraq next year to help bring stability to its gov-ernment and security forces.
SANTIAGO, Chile — Tens of thousands of Chileans marched peacefully Thursday demanding profound changes in the country’s heavily cen-tralized and privatized form of government, while smaller groups broke away to fight with police. More than 450 people were arrested and dozens injured.
Union members, students, government workers and center-left opposition parties took part in the final day of a nationwide two-day strike, which included four sepa-rate protest marches in the capital and demonstrations across Chile. In many areas, families grabbed spoons and spilled into the streets to join in noisy pot-banging shows of support.
President Sebastian Pinera’s ministers sought to minimize the impact.
Police estimated
Santiago’s crowds at just 50,000 and said only 14 per-cent of government workers stayed off the job.
Union leaders claimed 600,000 people joined dem-onstrations nationwide. Raul de la Puente, president of the government employees union, said 80 percent of his members joined the strike, at the cost of two days’ pay.
Pinera called the strike unjustified because Chile’s economy is growing strong and providing more oppor-tunities. He also said he re-mains open to those seeking dialogue, although his admin-istration has refused to dis-cuss some student and union demands, arguing the real work of reform must be done in Congress.
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka’s presi-dent announced plans Thursday to lift wartime emergency laws that have curbed civil and po-litical liberties for most of the past 30 years.
The country has been under intense inter-national pressure to sweep away the draconian measures now that more than two years have passed since the government’s victory in its bitter civil war against separatist Tamil Tiger rebels.
The emergency laws, which Parliament had extended every month, had allowed the govern-ment to detain suspects without trial, displace residents from their land and set up ubiqui-tious military checkpoints.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa told the leg-islature the laws were no longer needed, signal-ling that they would be allowed to expire by the end of next Wednesday.
“Today I propose to this assembly the withdrawal of the emergency laws to enable the country to conduct its affairs through its normal laws and in a democratic manner,” Rajapaksa said. “I do this because I am satisfied that we no longer need emergency laws for our governance.”
Authorities still can exercise similar powers under another law, the Prevention of Terrorism
Act. But legal experts say unlike the emergency laws, PTA is inferior to fundamental rights clauses of the constitution.
The move to lift the emergency comes amid widespread international pressure on the gov-ernment to ease wartime conditions like the state of emergency, investigate alleged human rights violations during the war and share po-litical power with ethnic minority Tamils.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said lifting the emergency would be a positive step, but repeated calls for Sri Lanka to probe allegations of rights abuses during the 26-year civil war that ended in May 2009.
Friends and relatives mourn as they carry a coffin Thursday.
