   based on his prior conviction for domestic abuse assault under Iowa Code 
   Sec. 708.2A, as the offense had an element of physical force; no error in 
   applying a twenty-level career offender enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 
   4B1.1(b)(3) as the starting point for defendant Gaines's sentence; 
   Gaines's sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
