"As a former educator, I have seen the benefits that internships can provide by giving students a firsthand look into the government process," said Loebsack. "I encourage all hardworking, motivated students and recent graduates to apply."

Interns will have the opportunity to learn about the legislative process and the federal government by working closely with the legislative, communications and constituent services staff members. Interested candidates should email their cover letter, resume, a short writing sample and a letter of recommendation to LoebsackInternship@mail.house.gov.

DAVENPORT, IA - On July 17, 2014, Jesse Dewayne Moore, age 26, formerly of Davenport, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Stephanie M. Rose to 120 months imprisonment, after pleading guilty to coercion and enticement of a minor, announced United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt. Moore was also ordered to serve ten years of supervised release following the imprisonment and pay $100 towards the Crime Victims Fund.

Moore will also be required to register as a sex offender.

On multiple occasions, staff members of the Internet website, meetme.com, reported instances of what appeared to be sexually explicit images of an individual purporting to be a juvenile from Davenport, Iowa. This information was forwarded to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation who used records to identify this subject as Jesse Dewayne Moore. At approximately the same time, the Davenport, Iowa, Police Department was conducting an investigation concerning an adult suspect making inappropriate contact with a 13 year old minor.

The minor reported meeting Moore on the website, meetme.com, and corresponding with Moore by text messaging. Law enforcement officers obtained a search warrant for text messages off of Moore's cellular phone. This search warrant found a large number of text SMS messaging between Moore's phone number and the minor's phone number. In these text messages, Moore makes numerous references to his desire to have sex with and perform sex acts on the minor.

These text messages include a series of texts on January 2, 2013 that discussed arrangements to meet at the library. Later on that same day, the text messages from Moore's number discussed whether the minor enjoyed giving him oral sex. The text messages also discussed future plans to meet for more oral sex and actual sexual intercourse. Moore later admitted that he posed as a 14 to 15 year old male on the meetme.com website, that he used this website and later his cellphone to make contact with a minor he knew was only 13 years old. Moore admitted that he made arrangements to meet this minor at a Davenport library, and later that day Moore had sexually explicit contact with the minor.

This case was investigated by the Davenport, Iowa, Police Department and the Iowa Department of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Investigations. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa as part of the Project Safe Child initiative.

Rock Island, IL-– The Rock Island Library is seeking volunteers to help install the Smithsonian Exhibit, "Hometown Teams," when it arrives at the Main Library in early September.

The six-person installation team will help put together the national exhibit on the 2nd floor of the Rock Island Main Library on Sept. 9 and 10, and take it down on Monday, Oct. 27. Installation requires no special skills. A step-by-step guide and video from the Smithsonian Institution Museum on Main Street program is available.

"If you've ever put together kit furniture, you can do this," said Lisa Lockheart, hometown teams project coordinator for the Rock Island Public Library. She is also searching for volunteers who can serve as exhibit guides. Training will be available on Sept. 11, at a time to be announced later.

If you can assist with either need, please contact Lisa Lockheart at the Rock Island Public Library by calling 309-732-7303 or emailing lockheart.lisa@rigov.org.

Hometown Teams is a celebration of hometown sports, and its impact on nearly all aspects of American culture. The Rock Island Library is also looking for local memorabilia to display alongside the national exhibit from Sept. 13 to Oct. 25. Focus areas include :

• Photos of high school teams, past and present, for "Hometown Teams" photo walls;
• Softball items from traveling tournaments held at Douglas Park in Rock Island, and
• Items from the Rock Island Independents football team and the Tri-City Blackhawks basketball team.

Donated items will be displayed in locked cases, and will be returned to their owners after the six-week run of the exhibit. To discuss what you have, call the library's Hometown Teams project coordinator Lisa Lockheart at 309-732-7303, or email lockheart.lisa@rigov.org.

Hometown Teams will be displayed at the Rock Island Main Library from 11:00 am, Saturday, Sept. 13 to 4:30 pm, Saturday, Oct. 25. Free public programs on the area's unique sports heritage will also be offered. Additional local sports displays may also be viewed this fall at Moline Public Library, Rock Island County Historical Society and the Karpeles Manuscript Museum.

Hometown Teams is part of the Museum on Main Street (MoMS) program, a partnership between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and the Illinois Humanities Council (IHC). MoMS brings Smithsonian-quality exhibitions to local museums, historical societies, libraries, and community centers. Other Illinois towns chosen to host the exhibit are in Cobden, Mattoon, Nokomis, Waterloo, and Nauvoo, IL.
