Monday, January 10, 2011 Editor: Micaela Cashman ™ iowastatedaily.com/business business iowastatedaily.com Business online 6 Iowa State Daily Economy Baking Consumer confidence dropped in December In December 2007, New York-based re- search firm Conference Board, Inc. reported consumer confidence was at 96.8 percent. This was during the country’s last economic expansion. Since then, consumer confidence has decreased to 52.5 percent. In November 2010, consumer confidence was reported at 54.3 percent, but that dropped in December possibly due to reality setting in after people got their credit card bills from November. Retail sales rose 4.8 percent the week of Christmas. Researchers accredited this to shoppers having Christmas Eve off from work and using the day to shop. This rise in sales was greater than that of last year’s holiday season, which researchers blamed on rough snowstorms hitting all parts of the nation at the time.

Monday, January 10, 2011 Editor: Jason Arment ™ iowastatedaily.com/opinion opinion iowastatedaily.com Opinion online 10 Iowa State Daily Editorial Politics Condolences, not arguing, after shooting A senseless act of violence left six dead and 14 wounded in Tucson, Ariz. on Saturday. It didn’t take long for speculation to start, and before the gunman had been named, mo- tives were being guessed and blame was being placed. This horrific tragedy brings to light a number of issues and discussions that should be had, and you can be sure this editorial board will delve into the ones we’re most passionate about throughout the course of this week — but not today. Today, we’re not going to get politi- cal. We’re not going to argue. We’re going to ease up on the shouting and the heated rhetoric that seems to per- meate the U.S. media culture, and do what seems most appropriate — most necessary. Today, we offer our condolences to those affected by this shooting. U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is a member of our extended Cyclone family — her brother, Alex, was a placekicker for the ISU football team from 1979-1982, whose third-quarter field goal gave Iowa State the win over Iowa in the 1980 Iowa-Iowa State game. “She [Gabrielle Giffords] gave me a print of Beardshear Hall at Iowa State that I have in my office, which she got from her brother,” said U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley in a statement Saturday. Our thoughts are with Giffords and her family as she recovers from this attack.

By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State spent plenty of time leading its opponents over the holiday break. From 13:02 left in their Dec. 12 game against Columbia, the Cyclones were ahead of their opponents every minute of each of their five consecutive home wins. Not until Iowa State faced the No. 1 Baylor Bears did the Cyclones trail on the scoreboard, falling to a 16-0 deficit early in the game. The Cyclones were unable to continue their win streak as they lost 70-58 in their Big 12 opener. The Cyclones (12-3, 0-1 in Big 12) began Big 12 play Saturday with their first game on the road since falling to Iowa in Iowa City on Dec. 9 as they took on the No. 1 Bears in Waco, Texas. The Bears, who took over the No. 1 ranking after Stanford ended Connecticut’s 90-game win streak, jumped out to a 16-0 lead as they held the Cyclones scoreless for the first 7:55 of the game. The Cyclones trailed 34-22 at halftime and were able to cut the lead down to seven. But the efficient Baylor offense would be too much as the Bears made 52.2 percent of their second-half shots on their way to the 70-58 victory. Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Brittney Griner used her 6-foot-8-inch frame to control the post as she led all scor- ers with 25 points. ISU senior guard Kelsey Bolte ended with 21 points and sophomore center Anna Prins chipped in with 15. Before traveling to Waco, the Cyclones ended their non- conference season on a six-game winning streak that 45,658 fans were able to see at Hilton Coliseum. ISU coach Bill Fennelly said the first game after finals was always one that scared him, but his team did not disappoint as it took a 51-15 halftime lead en route to a 93-47 victory over winless Cal State Northridge. Junior point guard Lauren Mansfield helped balance the Cyclones’ scoring with 10 as- sists as Bolte led four Cyclones in double figures, finishing with 16 points. The Cyclones had nine days off before hosting the Cyclone Challenge as East Carolina, Florida A&M and Prairie View A&M converged on Hilton Coliseum for the two-day tournament. Bolte, the Big 12 leader in 3-point field goal percentage this season, drained a season-high seven 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 28 as the Cyclones downed Florida A&M Forward Jamie Vanderbeken tips the ball into the basket during the Cyclones’ game against Montana State on Nov. 27 in Hilton 85-60. Mansfield dished out 10 assists for the second consecu- Coliseum. File photo: Manfred Brugger/Iowa State Daily tive game and added eight points for Iowa State. The Cyclones next squared off against Prairie View A&M and looked poised for their 56th consecutive non-conference home victory as they jumped out to a 36-20 lead. However, a resilient Panthers squad trimmed the team’s lead to one with Team sees continued two minutes to play. But a three-point play by sophomore forward Chelsea Poppens with 1:05 left gave the Cyclones a 56-50 advantage, and a pair of free throws from Kelsey Bolte sealed a 58-50 victory for Iowa State. Poppens had her first double-double of the season as the success over break Aplington native scored 18 points and pulled down 15 re- bounds. Freshman forward Hallie Christofferson chipped in with 12 points, all scored in the first half, and Bolte added eight.
