Failure to plan

Ellen Pirro, lecturer in po-litical science, said the attacks showed the Norwegian’s gov-ernment unpreparedness to respond to acts of terrorism.

“The Norwegian situation is absolutely typical of a coun-try that does not have an emer-gency plan to react,” Pirro said.

Commenting on the rough-ly 45-minute span of time be-tween police being notified of the shooting on Utoya Island and their arrival on the island, she said that crisis protocols “should have been established ahead of time” to ensure mini-mal loss of life.

Pirro predicted that the attack on the camp will have consequences reaching far be-yond the people and families directly affected by it, saying it had “wiped out the entire younger generation” of liberal political leaders in Norway.

Attempting to put the at-tack in context, she said its consequences would be just as devastating to Norway’s political left as an attack on Democratic leaders would be to America’s.

Nordic roots

Krista Neilsen, secretary of the ISU Viking Club and senior in English, had more immediate, small-scale con-cerns than Pirro. She said she was surprised by news of the attacks.

Neilsen, who is of mixed Norwegian and Danish ances-try, has traveled to Norway in the past, and spent some of her time visiting islands like the one on which the attack took place. Her familiarity with

them intensified her shock.After listening to inter-

views with Norwegian law en-forcement officials, she specu-lated that they were holding back some of their knowledge about the bombing and shoot-ing. She thinks this could be a prudent tactic.

“They want to be careful so they don’t overlook something and rumors start,” she said.

‘Just a stone’s throw away’

On hearing of the explosion in Oslo’s government district Friday, Hilde Agnete Leren, 24, didn’t immediately suspect an attack.

“I didn’t think it was going to be any kind of terrorism or anything,” Leren said. “You just never think it’s going to happen to Norway, because we’re so small and we’re so peaceful.”

Leren, who works as a bartender at Oslo’s Fisk og Vilt said that neither she nor

anyone she knew had been directly harmed by the explo-sion. However, employees of Internasjonalen, a bar near the site of the blast, recently told her the force of the bomb’s detonation had shattered the windows of their building.

Leren, who rents an apart-ment she calls “just a stone’s throw away” from the site of the bombing, was staying with her mother at the time of the attacks, in an area just beyond the town of Molde.

When speculation began that the bombing and shooting were the work of a terrorist, she said the image that came to her mind wasn’t much like that of Anders Behring Breivik, the man who has taken responsi-bility for the attacks.

“I wasn’t worried about any kind of right-wing extremists at all,” Leren said. “If some-body had asked me ... who might do it, I would probably say al-Qaida.”

Leren said that she doubted any Norwegian would dare to

emulate the actions of the per-son responsible for the attacks.

“Nobody wants to be asso-ciated with that,” Leren said, “Not even the biggest racists in Norway. And we don’t have many.”

Leren said the public re-sponse to the attack reinforced her positive impression of Norway as a whole.

“It’s just a compilation of a lot of different characters,” Leren said. “Unfortunately, Breivik was one of them. But he’s not representative of the Norwegian people, and I can see that in how the Norwegian people are ... trying to help each other and pick up the pieces. That’s Norway to me.”

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

Shock and grief gripped Norway over the weekend, as Norwegians mourned the bloodiest attacks their coun-try has sustained since World War II.

An ethnic Norwegian named Anders Behring Breivik, 32, was charged Saturday in relation to two attacks made the day before. Police suspect him of planting a bomb that killed at least eight in a car outside a government building in Oslo. They also suspect him of shooting and killing at least 68 attendees of a government-sponsored youth camp on Utoya Island.

In an interview on Saturday, Breivik’s lawyer Geir

Lippestad told the Norwegian broadcaster NRK that his cli-ent had taken responsibility for both the attacks. Lippestad said Breivik had acknowledged the cruelty and gruesomeness of the attacks, but thought that they were necessary to effect the kind of social change he wanted.

The nature of the change he sought is detailed in a (partly plagiarized) 1,500-page politi-cal manifesto that condemns multiculturalism, “cultural Marxism,” the growth of the Muslim population in Europe and the loss of Norwegian identity.

Just hours before the attacks, Breivik posted a YouTube video that aired simi-lar sentiments, according to Norway’s TV2. In the video, he predicts a violent conflict between members of a “multi-culturalist elite” and “conser-vative revolutionary forces.”

Despite my young age of 20 years, my friends — yes, dear reader, even I have friends — often chide me for

being an old man. One friend insists that because I play backgammon, always wear dress socks and have prescription glasses of the bifocal variety, I am actually 74 years old.

So maybe it is only my old soul shin-ing through, but I cannot help but notice the cavalier, contemptuous disrespect and irreverence with which nearly everyone (especially people my own age and younger) treats everyone else, living and dead alike.

My childhood, granted, was straight out of a storybook or fairy tale compared with those of so many of my friends. It was also marked by an education in character and morals — an education, it seems, that has gone extinct.

The childhood activities I remember most are these:

• Attending Wings, the Thursday-night Bible education program for children

• Attending church and Sunday school every week, and Vacation Bible School for its week every

summer• Watching “The Waltons” one night

each week with my mother and siblings

• My mother reading the Little House on the Prairie and Chronicles of Narnia books to my siblings and me

• My guiltiest feelings occurring whenever my mother would catch me disobeying her or trapped in a lie I’d woven

I coupled these habits with spending all my time at family functions with the adults (I had no cousins my own age), and thereby learned a great deal of respect. The thing I remember most easily about the Little House on the Prarie books is that “children are to be seen and not heard.” Apparently, the education was so thorough that until very recently people would ask me — just like clockwork, by the close of our second meeting — whether I’d gone to a Catholic school.

It should come as no surprise that so much of our population, especially that portion of it under age 40, battles alcohol-

ism, drug addictions, unwanted pregnancy, bankruptcy and divorce. So many of us were given too much license as children.

When the only expectation for children is that they will not disturb their parents’ pursuit of guilty pleasures — when we have no expectations for what our children will actually do, rather than what they will not do — why should we expect them to func-tion well with other people once they reach high school and the years beyond that?

Training people to perform certain tasks might give them a paycheck and create some profit to grow the economy, but any properly built robotic droid could just as easily do the same.

Indeed, dear reader, it may be better to use such machines, from a profit-making point of view.

Machines do not think or feel emotions or bleed when wounded.

But it is our ability to work together and create shared experiences that has led, over the past millennia, to the development of human civilization. If we want to sustain our civilization, a moral education will be necessary for all members of it.

Don’t spare kids a moral education By Michael.Belding iowastatedaily.com

Gov. Terry Branstad’s “education summit” highlights this state’s deficiency in educa-tion. In an increasingly competitive national and global economy, students need an educa-tion to face any challenge they — and this country — encounter.

We’ve made many attempts over the years to fix education. But we’ve all seen the No Child Left Behind Act’s overemphasis on test scores, and we haven’t really had time to measure how well the Iowa Core Curriculum delivers its “challenging and meaningful content to students that prepares them for success in life.”

The most important thing in education is employing teachers who want to teach. One way to attract good teachers whose work is worth paying for, of course, is to raise salaries above the statewide average of $41,970.

High expectations and graduation re-quirements have their part to play, but most important is the power of individual people and personalities. Students learn best when they’re involved in the teaching. Simply standing in front of a class, lecturing and talking at pupils (rather than to or with them) isn’t constructive.

For either a student or a teacher, “personal enrichment” is as good a reason as any to go to school. But in today’s economy, such enrichment needs to be paired with a living wage.

Teachers are occupied with educating the future of our country. They educate, day in and day out, the inheritors of whatever prob-lems the prelates and politicians of today (and yesterday) create.

To fix system, focus on getting the best teachers

Men’s basketball

The axiom that “no one is hir-ing right now” is one that many college graduates have likely used to describe the job market after graduation.

For Diante Garrett, that oft-used metaphor is a reality. When it comes to NBA hopefuls, quite liter-ally no one is hiring right now.

A leaguewide lockout has made it impossible for players to partici-pate in tryouts, or for teams to sign any draft picks or free agents.

As a result, Garrett has signed with KK Zagreb, a Croatian profes-sional basketball team.

“I need a job — can’t just sit around and wait until the lockout is over and not be able to do anything when I have a chance to go overseas and make some money and play,” Garrett said.

Garrett, who averaged 17.3 points and 6.1 assists per game as a senior, had been projected to be a late-second-round pick before the 2011 NBA Draft, but was not selected.

In light of the labor turmoil in

the league right now, Garrett said he was confident he made the right choice.

“It was just the best situation that was out there for me right now. It’s just getting a chance to get out there and showcase my ability and it was a chance to play in one of best Euro leagues out there,” Garrett said. “It was a no-brainer.”

Garrett was not the only NBA hopeful that KK Zagreb was able to sign amid the lockout turmoil.

Former Pittsburgh center Gary McGhee and forward Papa Dia, from Southern Methodist University, have also signed with the team.

“Both of those guys are with the same agency that I’m with, so we were out in L.A. working out to-gether,” Garrett said. “I know those guys and they’re real cool and it’ll be fun to be out there with other guys that I know.”

McGhee averaged 6.9 points and 7.7 rebounds per game last year for Pittsburgh.

As a forward with the Southern Methodist Mustangs, Dia averaged 18.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game his senior year.

Though he is putting his NBA hopes on hold for now, Garrett thinks his time playing overseas could help him accomplish his dream of being an NBA player.

“It’s a good opportunity to go over there and play,” Garrett said. “A lot of guys have gone overseas and gotten better playing over there, and then come back and got a chance to get into the NBA, so why not take that chance?”

Unlike their NFL counterparts, who agreed on Monday to end their own lockout, NBA players are still at the beginning of what could be a very lengthy lockout. Many are predicting that the 2011-2012 NBA season may not only be shortened, but lost altogether.

Garrett said that if the lock-out does indeed drag on, he thinks there will be plenty of NBA players who are drawn to play overseas.

“They have to make money for their families, so I think you’ll see more players go over there,” Garrett said.

Garrett added that he plans to head overseas to begin practice with his new team near the end of August .

Alexander Robinson thought he’d be working out with NFL players in late July. On Friday, he was.

The former ISU running back was running 100-yard sprints alongside NFL wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and other NFL players, but not in the NFL training camps Robinson, Fitzgerald and more than 1,500 other players had envisioned.

An NFL labor dispute involving NFL owners and players, which was ended on Monday, kept current and fu-ture NFL players from rejoining their team or, in the case of Robinson, an un-drafted free agent, finding a team.

Robinson, a Minneapolis native, is one of more than 50 high school, col-lege and professional players that have participated in workouts organized by Fitzgerald on the University of Minnesota campus this month.

“It’s been great just to see every-body’s work ethic, the stamina that they have throughout the workouts,” Robinson said of the professional play-ers on Friday. “It’s not necessarily that they’re doing more than we did [in col-lege], it’s the fact that they’re able to do it full speed all day.”

The players have gone through speed and agility workouts and, in or-

der to get back in football shape, plen-ty of lengthy conditioning sessions. Robinson began training with the group last week, and has enjoyed getting the chance to work out with players like Fitzgerald, Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and Bengals defensive end James Ruffin, who have all been able to share their NFL experiences with him.

Robinson wasn’t the only class-of-2010 Cyclone to go undrafted.

Quarterback Austen Arnaud, of-fensive lineman Alex Alvarez, tight end Collin Franklin, defensive lineman Bailey Johnson, center Ben Lamaak, safety Michael O’Connell and safety David Sims all participated in workouts in front of NFL scouts but did not have their names called on draft day.

Had there been a normal NFL off-season, Robinson and all other free agents would have had the opportunity to be signed by teams and participate in organized team activities this spring.

“It’s hard for us undrafted guys, be-cause now the longer that it goes on, the less of a chance we’re thinking that we’re going to get,” Robinson said.

Although Robinson, the fourth-leading rusher in ISU history, and the other undrafted Cyclones will not have as much time to impress NFL teams, they, along with this year’s NFL draft-ees, will be the first group of players giv-en the chance to sign with teams once free agency opens.

“All it takes is one team, one oppor-tunity, so you’re just hoping for that call,” Robinson said.

Owners, pros reach tentative deal to end lockout NFL

Members of the NFL Players Association have unanimously ratified a collective bargain-ing agreement with owners, an association ex-ecutive confirmed Monday.

Negotiators had reached a tentative agree-ment very early Monday, according to a report on NFL.com.

On Sunday, the NFL quoted New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees as telling fans in an email, “The deal is almost done.”

Brees is one of 10 NFL players who filed an antitrust lawsuit against the league over a lock-out imposed by league owners.

The lockout started in March.Both sides over the weekend discussed de-

tails that players wanted resolved in the agree-ment. They included the contractual handling of player injury, an opt-out clause in the 10-year deal and, “most pointedly, the potential time-line for the recertification of the NFLPA (NFL

Players’ Association) as a union,” the NFL said.The proposed collective bargaining agree-

ment with 1,900 players would last through the 2020 season.

An originally proposed agreement included a new rookie compensation system, a salary cap of $142.4 million per club in 2011 and additional retirement benefits, according to the NFL.

In a bid to reduce injuries, the pact limited practice times and full-contact practices. Clubs were to receive credit for actual stadium invest-ment and up to 1.5 percent of revenue each year.

Under the owners’ proposed plan, players could remain in the player medical plan for life,. They also would have an enhanced injury pro-tection benefit of up to $1 million of a player’s salary for the year after his injury and up to $500,000 in the second year after his injury.

Free-agent signing could begin this week and the four-week preseason could go forward

with only one hitch, according to the NFL.The first preseason game — the annual

Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, between the Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams — was can-celed because of the delay in opening camps, NFL Commission Roger Goodell said. It had been scheduled for Aug. 7.

The regular season is set to open on Sept. 8. The owners call for the free-agent signing pe-riod to begin this week.

The league’s owners imposed the lockout on March 11, suspending the labor deal in place at the time in hopes of creating a new financial structure. In addition to Brees, players Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and seven others sub-sequently filed an antitrust lawsuit against the league on behalf of other current and eligible NFL athletes.

A judge in early April joined that action with another filed by retired players.

Since the lockout, the two sides have faced off in courts and around conference tables. The major issues have revolved around how to divide the billions of dollars of revenue reaped via the league each year, rules of free agency, the rookie wage scale, retirement benefits and a host of other matters.

The heart of the issue between the players and the owners was how to divide the league’s $9 billion in revenue.

Under the old agreement, NFL owners took $1 billion off the top of that revenue stream. After that, the players got about 60 percent.

The owners said the old labor deal didn’t take into account the rising costs related to building stadiums and promoting the game.

The players argued that the league had not sufficiently opened up its books to prove this.
