AMES, Iowa (AP) — DeAndre Kane had 17 points with nine assists and No. 11 Iowa State beat Texas Tech 70-64 on Saturday after blowing an 18-point lead in the second half. Georges Niang also had 17 points for the Cyclones (19-5, 7-5 Big 12), who survived an impressive rally from the Red Raiders to win for the fourth time in five games.

Matt Thomas and Niang hit layups that put Iowa State ahead 67-62 with 1:27 left. Niang’s wide-open dunk with 7.2 seconds sealed the win for the Cyclones, who missed 8 of 12 free throws in the second half.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Melsahn Basabe scored 16 points and No. 16 Iowa pulled away from Penn State 82-70 on Saturday. Roy Devyn Marble added 15, Aaron White 14 and Mike Gesell 13 as the Hawkeyes (19-6, 8-4) won their fourth Big Ten road game of the season. Iowa’s three-game road winning streak in the Big Ten is its longest since 1998.

Penn State (13-13, 4-9) was led by D.J. Newbill, who scored 22 points, but Tim Frazier was held to 11. The game was tied four times in the second half before Iowa stretched it out with a 14-4 run. Marble, the team’s leading scorer at 16.5 points per game coming in, pumped in seven of those and Mike Gesell converted on a 3-pointer from the corner to help the Hawks pull away.

Iowa DNR reminds manure handlers to attend session

Ag/Outdoor

February 15th, 2014 by admin

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Time is running out for people who handle certain manure in Iowa to get certified without paying a fee.

The state Department of Natural Resources says manure applicators could face a $12.50 fee if they don’t get the necessary certification by March 1.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach works with DNR to offer free training sessions. There’s about 15 left for confinement site manure applicators. Applicators who handle mostly dry manure have four remaining sessions.

State law says people handling, transporting or applying manure from certain confinements must be certified. Applicators will need to watch a training video or take an exam if they can’t attend a session. Additional fees may apply.
