Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger wants to see progress from his fifth ranked Cyclones Monday night when they host Missouri-Kansas City. ISU opened last week with a win over Mississippi Valley State.
Otzelberger on some of the areas that need to get better.
Iowa State has dropped out of the AP football poll. The Cyclones were steamrolled in the opening half in a 45-36 loss to Kansas in Arrowhead Stadium. It was ISU’s second straight loss after a 7-0 start and the Cyclones will look to bounce back Saturday night at home against Cincinnati.
That’s Cyclone coach Matt Campbell. Iowa State’s usually reliable defense was torched by the Jayhawks, who rolled up 532 yards of offense to earn just their third win of the season and Campbell says the KU offense took advantage of ISU’s inexperience.

IOWA CITY, Iowa [KGAN-TV] – Nearly 47 years ago, two NASA spacecrafts were bound for one of the grandest journeys across our solar system to fly by and learn about our outer gas giants. They launched within a special planetary window, which occurs only once every 176 years. It allows these spacecraft to use the gravitational pull of each planet it flies by to alter its trajectory, allowing them to arrive at the next planet on its path with minimal use of fuel.
The Voyager spacecrafts paved the way for our understanding of our solar system, but it’s now over 15 billion miles away from Earth. It takes light and radio signals about 23 hours to reach it one way, and it is still changing our understanding of the cosmos. The instruments still onboard and operational were built, and are still operated by, the University of Iowa’s Department of Physics and Astronomy. One of them is the Plasma Wave Subsystem, which measures subtle waves within plasma fields around planets and in space. 
The instrument has been pivotal in some of our most incredible discoveries in space, including the data set confirming when Voyager entered the interstellar medium beyond our solar system in 2012. It was also instrumental in detecting lightning on another planet for the first time back in the early 80s. Lightning sends off a wide array of electromagnetic waves. Due to the different speeds at which each of these waves travels, it creates an odd, descending whistling tone.
Dr. Bill Kurth, a research scientist at the University of Iowa and a co-investigator of the Voyager Plasma Wave, was part of the initial development of the instrument nearly half a century ago, and continues to monitor data sent back from the aging spacecraft to this day.Of the nearly 10 instruments on board, only four remain. The University of Iowa’s instrument still furthers our understanding of our place in the stars is one of them still in operation.
It’s still uncertain how much longer the voyager probes have left, but predictions show they may make it into the early 2030s. However, they will still be drifting through the vastness of space, likely outliving our own star, the sun, well after they shut down.

(Clive, Iowa/via the Iowa Capital Dispatch) – Iowa’s state librarian has been arrested on a change of disseminating obscene material to a person he believed was a 14-year-old boy.
Clive police announced Friday that as part of an ongoing investigation, they arrested 53-year-old Michael Lynn Scott of Clive, the state librarian, on a misdemeanor charge of dissemination of obscene material to a minor.
The charge is punishable by up to one year in jail, a $2,500 fine, and registration on the state’s Sex Offender Registry for 10 years. Scott has yet to enter a plea in the case.
According to police records, Scott used an anonymous messaging app called KiK to communicate with someone he believed to be a 14-year-old male named Ricky. Scott allegedly sent the individual messages stating that he was on KiK “out of curiosity” and that he liked “being dirty.”
Scott allegedly sent multiple images of his face before sending a video of himself masturbating underneath his shorts. Police allege he then sent a picture of his exposed penis with the camera tilted at an upward angle and his face visible in the image.
The individual Scott was messaging was actually a deputy with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. Because of jurisdictional issues, the sheriff’s office then shared its information with Clive police for additional investigation.
“In this day and age, with technology being so ingrained in everyday life, you never really know who is on the other end of an app like this,” Clive Police Chief Mark Rehberg said in a written statement. “In this case, it was an undercover deputy, but in many instances, the victims are young children, and these contacts can lead to more serious offenses.”
It’s not clear whether Scott remains the state librarian. His photo and name were recently deleted from the State Library’s website, but in a financial document Scott provided the court on Thursday, he indicated he was currently employed by the State of Iowa and earned $140,000 per year.
The office of the State Library offers a range of services and programs to libraries and citizens throughout Iowa. The agency is governed by a nine-member Commission of Libraries with the authority to receive and approve the State Library budget and to appoint the state librarian.
