Ben-Veniste will deliver a lecture at Penn State Law at Carlisle on Tuesday as a part of Penn State Law’s Distinguished Law and Public Service Speaker Series cov ering government ethics and his infamous government cases. Lance Cole, director of the Penn State Center for Government Law and Public Policy Studies, said Ben-Veniste’s actions as a lawyer in holding public figures account able for their actions make him a great speaker for the series. “It’s very important to have someone take on that role as a lawyer and not as a politician,” Judge focuses on carp DNA in lawsuit MICHAEL TARM ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO The reliability of DNA testing suggesting Asian carp may already be in waterways near Lake Michigan was the focus of final arguments Monday in a law suit seeking the closure of Chicago-area shipping locks to halt the spread of the invasive fish. The issue pits five states asking for the emergency measure Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin against the city of Chicago, barge companies and others. The states want two locks closed and barriers installed to prevent the ravenous fish from slipping into the Great Lakes and potentially decimating a $7 billion-a-year fish ing industry. Opponents counter that shutting the locks would undermine critical flood-control measures in the Chicago region, as well as cost barge, tour-boat and others billions of dollars in lost business.

While the band is better known for its older songs, Takac said he and his bandmates are lucky enough to have fens who have followed them through the years. “Every record is the next step,” he said. “We hope to make one a lit tle more smarter than the one before. We try to make natural strides. If you look from when the band started to now, obviously the band has matured, but I think we’re doing it at a comfortable pace.” In 24 years of performing togeth er, the Goo Goo Dolls has played small clubs and large stadiums. “In this day and age, we often do more summer tours in larger ven ues,” Takac said. “But our theater Cole said. Cole said anyone inter ested in government, law or politi cal science would be interested in Ben-Veniste’s lecture. Ben-Veniste acted as chief of the Watergate special prosecutor’s Watergate Task Force. He led the effort to link former President Richard Nixon as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the prosecution with the investigation of the “18 1/2 minutes of silence” in the Watergate tapes, Cole said. Ben-Veniste also served as a counsel to the United States Senate Whitewater Committee investigation of Bill and Hillary Clinton and was a member of the 9/11 Commission responsible for examining the circumstances of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Cole said. In 2009, Ben- Veniste authored “The Emperor’s New Clothes: Exposing the Truth from Watergate to 9/11,” an autobi- U.S. District Judge Robert Dow is expected to rule on the matter within several weeks. His decision could hinge on whether he thinks environmental DNA testing is reli able, an issue he asked both sides about repeatedly during Monday s three-hour hearing. In three days of witness testimo ny in September, arguably the most critical witness in the case, biolo gist David Lodge, said his genetic tests showed carp were in the Chicago area. But the test he used looks not for the fish itself, but for traces of carp DNA. And attorneys opposing the closures called Lodge's findings and his scientific methods into doubt. "It's not reliable," David Rieser told Judge Dow Monday. Rieser represents industry groups opposed to shutting the locks. "It shouldn't inform the court's deter mination." An absence of easy-to-find Asian carp populations, Rieser added, only supports the contention that the voracious fish are far from the ulation... and I’m sure we’ll follow voting student representative.” through to the fullest.” Next, Ragland said UPUA mem- empty can of Four Loko malt bever age, according to the search war rant. Bags with marijuana stems and seeds and scented candles with marijuana ashes and residue were also seized during the search, police said. A Maryland driver’s license was also taken from a blue and pink backpack, according to the search warrant. Penn State Police officers responding to a fire alarm at Nittany Apartments gained entry to the pair’s residence, according to court documents. Police said they detected a strong ent stadium. Paternoville Vice President John Tecce said he thinks Penn State fans will make up more than 75 percent of the stadium. “It’s going to be exciting to have a student section but away from Beaver Stadium,” Tecce (junior marketing) said. Fans will still have the same amount of fervor and spirit they would if it were a home game, he said especially if the team does well before the game. The only thing that may hurt tick et sales is the split in the student section, he said. Tecce said he thinks students may be unwilling to pay $95 for the lower level tickets when they could pay $6O for upper level seats instead. Though only about 20 students runs are more focused shows and less of a circus.” John Mark Rafacz, editorial man ager at the Center for Performing Arts, said tonight’s venue fits into that goal. “Eisenhower is more intimate than the Bryce Jordan Center,” Rafocz said. “The audience mem bers in the orchestra seating are going to have an intimate experi ence with the band that they would n’t have in a larger venue.” He said the CPA is “really happy” to have the Goo Goo Dolls because the show will attract a different audi ence than the people who usually attend Eisenhower shows. A portion of these fans will be col lege students, who grew up listening to their music.

Distinguished Fellow in Law and Government Stanley Brand said has known Ben-Veniste for 30 years. Brand said the prominent lawyer has left a lasting mark on American politics. “The lessons from [Ben- Veniste’s] cases permeate the legal profession and legal thinking. Most government officials are more ethical now than in the past because of them,” Brand said. Brand said he continues to be amazed by the scope of cases Ben- Veniste has been involved with since the start of his legal career. To e-mail reporter: mjhsso7@psu.edu lake and no imminent threat. Those fighting the closures argue the carp DNA could have been transported in barges' ballast water or bird droppings mean ing the fish themselves aren't nec essarily present. But Lodge has said that by far the most plausible explanation is that the DNA came from discarded cells of carp living in the waterway. DNA can degrade within hours, he said, so it probably wouldn't have survived transport in a barge or a bird. Asian carp, which can weigh up to 100 pounds, have been migrating up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers toward the Great Lakes for decades. Biologists fear if the fish get into the lakes, they would gob ble plankton and starve out prized species such as salmon and wall eye.

The fundraiser is a unique oppor tunity, she said even the proceeds from Indiana fans’ tickets will bene fit THON. “It’s really neat to see some many different people coming together for the cause,” she said. The athletic department will offer a bus to transport the students to the game called “Road Hip FTK,” Rommel added.

Takac said he considers himself lucky to be part of a band that makes it work. “It’s a delicate balance of under standing and completely ignoring the people around you,” Takac said “In the course of any relationship things are done and said that you might not agree with, but you need to let go and move on.” To e-mail reporter: hmrso27@psu.edu
