Crest Financial Urges Clearwire Stockholders To Vote Against Sprint-Clearwire Merger
"SoftBank's CEO Son recently said that Clearwire stockholders like Crest that have urged Clearwire to seek a better deal "can stay as shareholders for however long they want. We are happy with just 65 percent [of Clearwire stock]." For all of the reasons stated above, we do not believe this statement. We firmly believe that, if Sprint does not control 100% of Clearwire, the value that Sprint's suitors have attached to Sprint dissipates, while, at the same time, Clearwire's minority stockholders will still have the opportunity to realize that value for themselves.
"In short, Clearwire is the ultimate prize in the intensifying battle for Sprint. It is time to lift the veil off of these back-to-back merger transactions so Clearwire stockholders can see them for what they are—an attempt to take value from the Clearwire stockholders without offering them fair value. We do not believe that this or any other offer from Sprint can reflect the true value of Clearwire. Only when SoftBank, DISH, or another suitor for the Clearwire spectrum makes a direct offer for the Clearwire stock or Clearwire's assets will this true value be discovered."
D.F. King & Co, Inc. has been retained by Crest to assist it in the solicitation of proxies in opposition to the merger. If stockholder have any questions or need assistance in voting the GOLD proxy card, please call D.F. King & Co. at (800) 949-2583. The full letter can be found at http://www.dfking.com/clwr.

Revenge :The summer season kicks off in The Hamptons as Emily Thorne's course of revenge is renewed and set against an unexpected timeline. Meanwhile the return of Victoria Grayson's son brings changes and complications to the all-powerful family. And a glimpse into the future shows that the wedding of the century may lead to Emily's ultimate demise.
Season 3, Episode 1
Time : 9:00 PM
Date : 29-9-2013
Network : ABC
Revenge 3X1 : Wealth, beauty and status define the people in this town, but one woman is willing to destroy everyone for the sake of revenge. Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp) is new to the Hamptons. She's met some of her wealthy neighbors, has made a few new friends and seemingly blends into the town. But something is a little odd about a young girl living in a wealthy town all on her own, and the truth is that Emily isn't exactly new to the neighborhood. In fact, this was once her old neighborhood, until something bad happened that ruined her family and their reputation. Now Emily is back, and she's returned to right some of those wrongs in the best way she knows how – with a vengeance.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The globe last month matched a record for the hottest September.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday that September was 60.2 degrees Fahrenheit worldwide, which is 1.2 degrees above normal. That matches 2005 for the hottest September. Records go back to 1880.
For most of the year, world temperatures were warmer than normal, but not near record levels. At the same time, the United States kept setting heat records. But that reversed in September. It was a record hot month for the world, but the United States ranked as only the 23rd hottest. Climate monitoring chief Deke Arndt (AHR'nt) said the highest heat was in South America, Japan, Russia, Canada and the Atlantic.
This is the 331st consecutive month with global temperatures above the 20th century average.

I love Nadia G., but I HATE this recipe. It tasted of really bad Indian food. The cinnamon adds a bitter and sour flavor that made the dish unpleasant. The texture of some of the squash is stringy and didn't break down the way I imagined it would. Grade: F

I made the recipe with a couple of changes. Firstly, I doubled the amount of chickpeas and secondly, I substituted the dried apricot and figs with dates just for the heck of it! Everything turned out delicious! Awesome recipe!

Ive made this twice now Serves more than six if used as a side dish. Gets better as it ages in the frig. Takes planning as I dont usually have all these ingrediemts on hand. My husband loves it and he usually resists vegetables. Takes more than one hour to prep the vegetables - more like 1.5 hours.

When MPs Cross Party Lines
Political parties over the years have promised more freedom for MPs, more free votes etc., but little comes of it. All too often deviance from the party line by an MP becomes a media story and it plays as an embarrassment of the respective leader. It is no wonder then that party leaders react so strongly when this happens.

Yellow-nosed AlbatrossThalassarche chlororhynchos
29-34" (73.5-86.5 cm). W. 6'4"-6'11" (193-211 cm). A large, black and white seabird with long slim wings and a short, rounded tail. Back, upperwings, and tail blackish; rest of body white (except some individuals have pale gray on head and neck visible at close range); underwing white with narrow, dark trailing edge and broader dark leading edge; dark bill slender and hooked, thin yellow stripe on culmen. Juvenile has black bill, no gray on head.
Generally silent at sea.
Open ocean; rarely seen from shore.
Breeds in southern Atlantic and Indian oceans, ranging west to southern South America and east to New Zealand. Accidental off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America.
This and the slightly larger Black-browed Albatross are the only recorded albatross species in the North Atlantic. Because they are long-lived, it is possible that some albatross sightings may actually refer to the same individual for many years in succession. Yellow-nosed Albatrosses feed mainly on squid and fish.
1 white egg, finely spotted with reddish, in a truncated mud cone placed on a cliff ledge, slope, or plateau. Nests are solitary, but some birds also breed in colonies of hundreds of pairs.

Wednesday Trivia: Volunteering in America
Today–the 12th anniversary of 9/11, and the country's annual Day of Service—is an apt time to investigate how much Americans are volunteering. The good news: About 64.5 million people volunteered through or for an organization at least once between September 2011 and September 2012, according to a 2013 report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bad news: That number only accounts for 26.5 percent of the population (and it's a .3 percent decline from the year before).
Fortunately, it's not too late to bring up our numbers for 2013. Pledge to perform a good deed today (submit your plans here, so you have some accountability). Want to make a really big impact? Use these tips to get your community involved.

VICTORIA, Texas (AP) - An ex-athletic trainer for a South Texas district has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for having sex with a student at her home and in a school parking lot.
Jurors in Victoria late Thursday sentenced 33-year-old Jesse Earl Holmes in the case involving a 15-year-old girl.
The Victoria Advocate (http://bit.ly/1mg6Cb7 ) reports Holmes on Tuesday pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault of a child.
Holmes was hired by the Victoria Independent School District in 2010. Investigators say he was an athletic trainer at Victoria East High School when he had sex with the girl in the fall of 2012, plus sent sexually explicit texts to several students.
Prosecutors say Holmes still faces two counts of an improper relationship between an educator and a student involving another girl.

PHOENIX Trains, lanes and automobiles.
Those are the big options on the table as state leaders prepare for millions of new cars expected to clog our roads and freeways over the next two decades, pumping out tons more pollution to cloud the skies.
With rapid growth, lawmakers say transportation seems to be a hotter topic now than it has been in years.
Last week Gov. Janet Napolitano signed an executive order for the Arizona Department of Transportation to look into mass transit options.
The move has the mayors of Tucson and Phoenix, as well as some legislators, beaming about the possibility of a commuter train between the two cities. With the order, ADOT is putting the pedal to the metal to update a 1998 study on the train within the next 90 days.
Imagine: Hop on the train, take a seat, even open up your laptop to surf the Web and before you know it, you're in Phoenix for shopping, sports, business or a weekend at a spa. And never give a thought to wildly fluctuating, ever higher gas prices.
Likewise, Phoenicians could enjoy hiking, art galleries, summer resort discounts and the more relaxed ambiance Tucson has to offer.
Since the concept has been discussed for years and always resulted in nothing more than studies, some wonder if the excitement is premature.
This time, however, with the corridor between Tucson and Phoenix anticipating major growth over the next decade, advocates can already hear the sound of whistles blowing. But completion might be years away, even if it received the massive funding needed to get off the drawing board.
"We already have the need to expand I-10 to (six) full lanes between Phoenix and Tucson," said Tucson Mayor Bob Walkup. "But right behind that you're really looking at, what we need in the future is a way to move people between those populated areas and stay off the roads."
Walkup and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon say they've been working together on the issue for three years and see the governor's order as a major turning point.?á
"There have been a lot of folks who have expressed interest to the governor. A lot of elected officials and basically the community transit organizations," said Shannon Scutari, the governor's policy adviser for growth and infrastructure.
But the governor is waiting to see what ADOT reports, and is interested in examining solutions statewide, Scutari said.
Walkup and Gordon were expecting a specific mention of the train in the governor's address. She didn't do that. Still, her call on the Department of Transportation to study a commuter train is "music to my ears," Gordon said.
The rail makes sense because "it's no longer city against city in this state," Gordon said. "It's region against the rest of the world."
In the 1998 report done by ADOT, the department concluded that at that time, a commuter train would cost at least $380 million.
All aboard?
Chantal Ottino seems like the ideal customer for a commuter train.
All too often, the 21-year-old University of Arizona accounting senior gets homesick for her family in north Phoenix. So at least once a month, you'll find her speeding up Interstate 10 in her black Ford Mustang.
Traffic is a constant problem.
"When there's an accident, it can get backed up forever, and then you're stuck," she says.
Still, when it comes to riding a train, "I'm torn," she says.
"I like to leave when I want to leave," Ottino says, and boarding a train at 9 p.m. in Downtown Tucson well, that could be dangerous.
Plus, "Leaving my car? That would be hard. How am I going to go to the clubs in Scottsdale?" she says, laughing.
And that's the big dilemma: How to get around in either city, both built around the car culture of the post-1950s.
"You would still have the same problems of congestion within Maricopa (County) and Tucson even if the rail moved you from point A to point B," said Darcy Olsen, president of the Goldwater Institute, a Phoenix think tank that advocates smaller government.
But Gordon and Walkup both say that issue is working itself out already. Phoenix has started a light-rail system, and Walkup pointed to plans for a streetcar system in Downtown Tucson.
Still, Olsen says advocates "don't seem to take into account individual preferences, which is people prefer to drive. (Rail) is impractical and undesirable."
Steve Farley disagrees. Farley, a freshman Democratic state representative from Tucson and advocate of mass transit, says the best time to introduce a passenger railway is during expansion of Interstate 10, when people are looking for an alternative to avoid construction. Federal funds can help, he said.
As for demand, Farley points to a new state-subsidized railway in New Mexico, the "Rail Runner," which will eventually connect Santa Fe with Albuquerque.
"All the stars are aligning, with gas going through the roof and all the consequences of global warming issues and all the people in the business community seeing how much money is available from development along rail."
Funding conflicts
But funding for a railway may collide with money for road improvements and expansions.
A proposal to spend $450 million of the state's $650 million rainy day fund for road construction is already on the legislative table. Napolitano opposes dipping into those funds and instead wants to refinance bonds to pay for construction.
"I guess it all comes down to how you define emergency," Bob Burns, a Peoria Republican and chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said last week. "If we can stimulate the economy and help speed up our transportation construction and at least keep up with the flow of people who are coming here, maybe we can prevent an emergency."
Meanwhile, Democrats in the House have already started talking about an increase in the gas tax, while Olsen is pushing for the state to look at efforts elsewhere, like having a private developer build a toll highway, as is being done in Texas.
From all those choices, Farley is hopeful the train will be included in the mix of solutions. "I haven't really come across anyone who's against that," he said.

Another Turkey Day come and gone. I hope you all had as much good food as I did, and I hope you're all geared up for another Black Friday!
If you work in retail and you're on shift today... you have my deepest sympathies.
For the rest of you surfing around looking for great stuff to buy for yourself or friends and family, I wish you the best of luck!
Don't forget to swing by SUMO and check out their great selection of lounge furniture. If you haven't treated your butt to a SUMO beanbag yet, you're missing out on an incredible sitting experience! The SUMO Sway is one of my favorites, and I highly recommend it as a gaming chair.
Also don't forget to check out Amazon for some great deals too! Aside from their lightning deals, they have some pretty decent discounts on games. Fable 3 is running at $40... it was more of a polished Fable 2, but hey, at $20 off that's easier to swallow, yeah?
Demon's Souls is $20 new... if you haven't played this game yet, you now have no excuse.
If Steam is your thing, they have Borderlands for $10. Borderlands is another must-play title that's a steal at $10.

Attorney calls on SPD to release video of alleged police brutalityon November 26, 2012 @ 3:09 pm (Updated: 11:20 am - 11/27/12 )
A Seattle attorney has filed a lawsuit against the police department for their failure to release "the worst police misconduct video" he has ever seen.
Attorney James Egan says the video shows his client, Leo Etherly, being choked and punched in the face by officers.
On Oct. 6, Etherly was stopped by officers who were investigating a hit-and-run accident in the Central District. According to Egan, a video inside one of their patrol cars shows an officer punch Etherly in the face while two others pin him to the hood of the cruiser and choke him.
"The officers are heard - crystal clear - saying, 'Well, I'm not choking you,' but he is. Then he calls him a (expletive) idiot," Egan said.
Etherly was arrested for allegedly spitting on one of the officers during the incident, but claims he accidentally coughed-up saliva while he was being choked.
Misdemeanor assault charges in the case were eventually dismissed.
Egan claims the Seattle Police Department will not allow him to release the video to the media because it is not a public record. He received a copy of the video through discovery while representing Etherly and such records are often confidential.
"This is a circumstance where the police have an awful public record and I want it and I want to give it to you," Egan said.
In a post on their blotter, a police department spokesperson said they plan to release the video to Egan, but implied that he is being impatient.
"This request is currently in process. Once completed, Mr. Egan will receive another copy of the same video," the post read.
"The SPD Public Disclosure Unit handles on average 4,000 requests for records per year ... Since 2008, Mr. Egan alone has made 316 requests of the Seattle Police Department. He has 10 requests that are currently pending. His current request, like all others, will be handled in the order in which it was received."
KIRO Radio has also filed a public disclosure request for the video.
Brandi Kruse is a reporter for KIRO Radio who is as spontaneous and adventurous in her free time as she is on the job. Brandi arrived at KIRO Radio in March 2011 and has already collected three regional Edward R. Murrow awards for her reporting.

Bayreuther Graduiertenschule für Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften (BayNAT)
- Neutronenbeugung (1) (remove)
- Iron in oxides, silicates and alloys under extreme pressure-temperature conditions (2011)
- (1) There is a general agreement, that magnesium silicate perovskite (Pv) comprises around 80 vol% of the Earth's lower-mantle, making it by volume the most abundant mineral in our planet, and and there is no doubt that Pv in the mantle contains Fe and Al. However, the exact concentrations are unknown, as well as the effect of pressure on physical properties of Pv at conditions of Earth lower mantle. In our study we investigate Pv with one of the less explored substitution Mg2+A+Si4+B→Fe3+A+Al3+B. Here we explore as a function of pressure and temperature the crystal structure of the material, the distribution of chemical elements between different crystallographic sites and the evolution the spin state of ferric iron, as one of crucial parameters determining electrical and radiative conductivity of the Earth's lower mantle. We perform single-crystal x-ray diffraction on magnesium silicate perovskite with the composition Mg0.63Fe0.37Si0.63Al0.37O3 (MgFeAlPv) using a combination of in-situ diamond anvil cell technique and laser heating in order to simulate the extreme conditions of the Earth's lower mantle. We provide a complete description of the behavior of MgFeAlPv in terms of crystal structure and ferric iron occupying its dodecahedral (A-)site. We observe no spin transition of ferric iron at A-site, confirming theoretical predictions and recent experimental observations. However, even upon heating MgFeAlPv samples to 1800 K at ~78 GPa we see no indication of a spin crossover or a pressure/temperature induced redistribution of ferric iron and aluminum between the different crystallographic sites as suggested previously. We combine these data with high pressure-high temperature measurements to obtain a thermal equation of state. (2) As a model Fe-O system, magnetite is a mixed valence iron oxide incorporating both ferric and ferrous iron. Being essential part of some sedimentary (banded iron formations) and igneous rocks, magnetite can be subjected to high pressure in natural systems, for instance, during subduction of oceanic crust, or during serpentinization (metamorphic reaction). In order to shed light on the complex physical properties of magnetite under compression we conducted a combined single crystal x-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy at pressures below 25 GPa. We find no evidence for the transition from inverse to normal spinel in magnetite. Analyzing the collected Mössbauer data, we show that a high spin – intermediate spin transition cannot occur in magnetite in the pressure range of 10-20 GPa, and finally, based on a careful analysis of the data and results reported in the literature, we provide a model consistently describing the behavior of electronic and magnetic properties of magnetite in terms of a gradual charge delocalization induced by pressure. (3) Our study of wüstite (FexO) is focused on the high pressure – low temperature phase diagram of the Fe-end member in the (Mg,Fe)O system. We perform high resolution neutron diffraction experiments in order to investigate the low temperature phase diagram of Fe0.925O and Fe0.94O. We determine the critical temperatures of antiferromagnetic ordering (the Neél temperature TN) and structural transitions (TS) of the two compounds. We report divergence of TN and TS as a function of pressure. We argue that a modification of the defect structure in wüstite can be invoked explaining the drastically different response of Fe0.925O and Fe0.94O to compression. With that we show that although ferric iron is a minor structural component of wüstite, it is an essential component of defect structures and induces profound effects on the low temperature phase diagram of wüstite. (3) We investigate effect of pressure (P) on the elastic and electronic properties of Fe, Fe0.9Ni0.1 hcp phases below 70 GPa. After processing our experimental data, we report a gradual decrease in the ratio of the hcp lattice parameters c/a for Fe in the pressure range below 45-50 GPa, and a non-linear behavior of Mössbauer isomer shift for hcp phases of pure Fe and Fe0.9Ni0.1, suggesting an isostructural transition in these phases. We investigate paramagnetic hcp Fe under compression by employing state-of-art calculations (LDA+DMFT) and including many-body correlation effects. Based on the results of the calculations, we predict an electronic topological transition (ETT). After comparing data on materials with already known ETT with our observations and theoretical predictions, we conclude that results obtained from the independent experimental measurements can be explained in the framework of an ETT. (4) The development of a portable laser heating system was a necessary requirement for our work done on minerals at conditions of Earth's lower mantle in general, and for the study of magnesium silicate perovskite containing iron and aluminum in particular. The main advantages of the system developed are compactness, versatility for different in-house and synchrotron based techniques, including high pressure measurements of resistivity, Raman spectroscopy, energy and time-resolved Mössbauer spectroscopy, powder and single crystal x-ray diffraction, nuclear inelastic x-ray scattering, and x-ray absorption. These advantages, the low times of assembly, stable and homogeneous conditions for heating, in-situ measurement of sample temperature, as well as the direct visual control over the heating area distinguish our system from similar, but bulkier devices.

3 arrested after guns, drugs found in car, police say
Updated On: Aug 14 2013 12:51:19 PM EDT
Three men were arrested Tuesday night in West Palm Beach after they were found with guns and drugs in their car, police said.
Tyrell Alexander, Willie Hutchinson and Jamar Alexander face multiple charges.
West Palm Beach police said officers observed a man, possibly armed, running behind a car along the 600 block of 39th Street.
Police said the car ran the stop sign and sped off south on Broadway before turning west on 36th Street. Police said the car continued speeding along the street until stopping in the 3200 block of Windsor Avenue.
All three suspects bailed out of the car and tried to run inside a nearby home, but they were apprehended, police said.
A fourth man who was running behind the car before the chase began remains at large.

SoLost: Bill C. Malone: Scholarly Hero of Country Music
As lonely Maude Owens Malone toiled away on the North Texas tenant farm she shared with her husband and three boys in the 1930s, little did she know that the sorrowful song fragments of old hillbilly and gospel songs she sang to comfort herself would inspire and lead her youngest child to the pinnacle of country music scholarship many decades later.
The first member of his family to attend college, Bill C. Malone quickly became known as a local authority on hillbilly music while attending the University of Texas in the early 1960s. As an amateur performer around Austin, Malone began sharing local stages with a number of soon-to-be musical luminaries, including a young Janice Joplin. Malone, an aspiring historian, was soon encouraged to pursue his own musical scholarship of country music—a subject that had never been given serious attention in the world of academics.
His dissertation on the subject became the basis for his first book, Country Music, U.S.A. (University of Texas Press, 1968), and made him something of a household name in country music circles. Now, fifty years and many books on, Malone's body of scholarly work has earned him a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of American Music, among other commendations. No less than Larry McMurtry has said of Malone, "If anyone knows more about the subject than [Malone] does, God help them."
In a less-than-predictable outcome, Malone has ended up in Madison, Wisconsin, with a radio show of old-time country music that has made him something of a local cult hero. SoLost headed up to Madison to see what the fuss was about….

Don't be afraid to consider a colorful design just because it is made of a different material tan you wanted, originally. Get what makes you happy, now and will keep you happy for years to come!


text: Peter Graves thought the script for what would eventually emerge as Airplane!: ''Don't Call Me Shirley!'' Edition was the most tasteless he'd ever read. Lloyd Bridges hopelessly searched for his character's motivation. At least Robert Stack understood the madness behind Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker's genre-pioneering spoof of 1970s airport films, explaining to Bridges, ''Lloyd, we are the joke.'' Surely, they couldn't be serious, but the contrarian casting of deadpan actors like Leslie Nielsen reinvented careers by making every utterance a punchline. ''What I had facing me were grandfather parts,'' recalls Nielsen, who went on to further perfect faux gravitas in the Naked Gun films. EXTRAS The Pop-Up Video-style trivia track echoes a recycled commentary with the three directors and producer Jon Davison, and the deleted scenes are spare since, claims Jerry Zucker, ''there is nothing that's actually funny on the cutting room floor.'' At least the interviews, spliced within the film, are fresh: When Norman Alexander Gibbs and Al White eloquently describe their on-screen slang, the DVD provides subtitles in jive just in case Barbara Billingsley's not around to translate.

Your precinct number and polling place address are printed on your voter information card. If your polling place is permanently changed, we will notify you of the new location by sending you an updated voter information card in the mail. All changes in polling place locations are published in the newspaper prior to an election.
On Election Day, you are required to vote in the precinct where you live. Your voter information card shows your precinct number, or you can use the Precinct Finder feature.
What are the hours the polls are open?
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.
What type of ID do I need in order to vote?
A photo and signature identification are required to vote a regular ballot in Florida. Voters without acceptable identification may still vote a provisional ballot, which will later be evaluated by a canvassing board for eligibility. To avoid delays at the polling place, voters should bring acceptable identification.
Acceptable valid and current forms of photo ID include:
When you arrive at the polls:
1. Show your valid and current photo and signature ID.
2. Sign the precinct register.
3. Receive your paper ballot and proceed to a privacy booth.
4. Using the black pen provided, completely fill in the oval next to each of your selections.
5. Review your ballot.
6. If you wish to make changes, request another ballot.
7. If you are satisfied with your selections:
o Take your ballot to the optical scanner in the secrecy folder provided.
o Insert your ballot into the optical scan feeder.
o The scanner will record your votes and place your ballot into the locked ballot box.
o The scanner will alert you if your ballot appears blank or contains one or more over votes.
- You will have the option to either vote the ballot as is, or make any changes.
- The scanner will not alert voters to under votes.
If you have any questions, ask a poll worker before you insert the ballot in the scanner. Once a ballot has been accepted, it cannot be retrieved.
If you need assistance at any time during the voting process, ask a poll worker for assistance. They are trained to guide you through the process and answer your questions.
Please note: Florida has a very broad public records law. Written communications to or from the Supervisor of Elections regarding business constitute public records and are available to the public and media upon request unless the information is subject to a specific statutory exemption. Therefore, your e-mail address and message may be subject to public disclosure.

New head coach Gale Lackey took over the Wesleyan field hockey program in 1978, just before its seventh season. A year earlier, the team was 2-5-1, and over its first six seasons tha program's cumulative record was 11-35-5 with no more than four wins in any one season. In her first season Coach Lackey led her squad to a fine 10-1 mark, followed by a 10-2-1 season in 1979.
The 1980 season capped a three-year dynasty as the Cardinals produced their first undefeated season of 8-0-3 and their second outright Little Three title. The team was led by a particularly stingy defense that produced six shutouts in 11 contests and held two other opponents to one goal. The Little Three victories were particularly decisive, with two shoutouts and eight goals for: Amherst, 3-0, and Williams, 5-0.
Team tri-captain Carol McCrae '81 started all 11 games as net minder, yielding a mere nine goals. Top scorer Barb Martin '81, also a tri-captain, scored a team-leading 17 goals, more than half the team's total of 30, and posted three hat tricks while scoring at least one goal in 10 of the 11 outings. Her only scoreless game came in a 0-0 deadlock at Smith College.
The Cardinals relied heavily on their 11 starters. During eight of the 11 games, no more than one player came off the bench to spell a first-stringer, a tribute to the team's resilience and stamina.
The season finale against host Bridgeport was fittingly dramatic. Tied 0-0 after regulation, the game went into overtime and when the smoke cleared, Barb Martin had secured the win with her career-record 51st goal, and the Cardinals had put the finishing touches on a remarkable three-year run of 28-3-4.

The Graduate Affairs Committee (GAC) is responsible for these decisions, and their decisions must be approved by the Director of the Division of Biology and then by the Graduate School. So, while we encourage prospective students to contact faculty to find out about research opportunities, it is important for prospective students to understand that the final decision for admission is made by the GAC, not by individual faculty members. The committee's purpose is to select the best students from the applicant pool. As you can imagine, comparing the applications of students from around the world is a difficult task since every country, sometimes every school, uses a slightly different system, has different standards, etc. Further, we can only make our decision based on what is sent to us in the application. So, to give yourself the best chance of acceptance, make sure your application is complete. We are happy to help you prepare the best application you can, so contact us (email@example.com) with any questions.
You will receive full financial support (tuition and stipend sufficient for living in Manhattan) if you are admitted. The exact amounts change regularly with increases in tuition and cost of living; please see here for up-to-date information. We expect that you will devote your full time and attention to your graduate education and research, and we offer financial support at a level where you will be able to do that.
Yes. As noted above, all admitted students, regardless of the degree program to which they are admitted, will be fully supported.
No. As noted above, we strive to admit the best qualified students to our program, and are not constrained by artificial limits for foreign or domestic applicants.
There are a limited number of University-sponsored Timothy R. Donoghue Scholarships available to incoming graduates of U.S. colleges or universities. These scholarships provide a substantial financial supplement and can be held up to two years. You do not apply directly for these scholarships, rather the Selection Committee will select the best candidates from among the application pool. Awardees will be notified with their offer letter. Note that only U.S. citizens are eligible.
A brochure describing the plan provisions and an enrollment form (including premium rates) are available from the Division of Human Resources website at http://www.k-state.edu/hr/benefits/gta.html or at 103 Edwards Hall.
We typically receive an average of about 100-120 applications each year for fall admission, and 20-40 for spring admission.
That ranges between 15 to 25 admissions each year, depending on fluctuations in grant support for our research faculty.
We will typically enroll 10-20 students each fall, and 2-4 in the spring.
During the last 60 hours of your coursework, you must have maintained a B average or its equivalent (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) in order to qualify for regular admission. If your GPA is lower than that, you can be admitted on probationary status. See the Graduate School Admission Requirements page for additional details.
We will consider an applicant whose degree is not in biology, but our preference is for those with biology or other life science degrees. An applicant whose degree is not in the life sciences should have at least taken several biology courses or courses with equivalent content. An applicant without a degree in the life sciences should stand out in other respects in order to have the best chance of acceptance, and the applicant should address this issue in their Statement of Personal Experiences and Goals.
For full consideration, completed applications should be submitted to us by December 15. For spring admission, completed applications should be submitted by August 1. We will generally begin reviewing the applications soon after those dates. Depending on the number of applicants in the pool, we usually are in a position to make admission offers within 6-8 weeks after these deadlines.
We are looking for a statement about your goals for your graduate education. We would also like to know why you want to continue your studies in graduate school and what your plans are afterward. This statement is a good place to describe any specific research interests you have and how they might mesh with the research opportunities in our department. If you have relevant experience that does not appear in other parts of your application, the statement is a good place to describe them, too. In total, you should try to keep your statement to roughly one page.
The Graduate School requires original transcripts showing your completed Bachelor's degree and the original diploma before you can be officially admitted. You can, however, bring them with you when you come to K-State. The Graduate School will then make a copy of them for their records.
Yes, we do.
The KSU Biology program does not have a numerical cut-off for GRE performance. We have found that GRE scores are not a good sole predictor for success in graduate school, i.e. some students with excellent GRE scores do not perform well in graduate research, and others with marginal GRE scores turn out to be excellent researchers. For that reason we do not have a minimum required score for the GRE, but merely use the GRE score as one parameter in our admission decisions.) But a low GRE score must obviously be accompanied by other strong proof of your knowledge and preparation for graduate work.
We look at recommendation letters for information that we cannot get from transcripts or scores. We want to know, for instance, whether you are creative, can communicate well both in English and scientifically, work hard, and work well with others. We want to know whether you take the initiative on projects and whether you go beyond the minimum requirements. We want to know whether the recommender believes you have the necessary skills to succeed in the demanding environment of graduate school and beyond. The best information is comparative. That is, how you compare in each of these categories to other students at the same stage of their career. Your recommenders should also include a brief description of how they know you and how many students at your stage they can compare you with in their experience. Specific examples are, of course, much better than general statements, and anecdotes can also be useful. Any other information your recommender cares to share is certainly welcome as well.
No, there are no special forms, but they should be printed on the letterhead of the recommender's institution if available and include an original signature. These are uploaded by the recommender.
You need to upload copies of your transcripts both in English and your native language (for international students) of all degrees received along with copies of your graduation certificate/diploma. Specialists in the graduate school will evaluate these official transcripts. We do not need high school transcripts.
We do appreciate your financial situation, but unfortunately we have little flexibility with this requirement of the KSU Graduate School.
Through the online application process. Check the Graduate School's FAQ for complete information.
The University is typically closed from December 24 through January 1, but is otherwise open Monday through Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM.
All of our graduate students are required to assist with teaching in our undergraduate classes; you will need good English communication skills to be successful in that responsibility. Your graduate classes will be conducted in English, and since many graduate classes feature discussions between the students and with the instructor, good English communication skills are needed for success in your classes as well. Finally,, your professional success in science demands that you be able to communicate results to others in spoken and written English. For these reasons, the K-State Biology Division seldom relaxes the TOEFL requirement. TOEFL scores are only valid for two years, so we cannot accept TOEFL scores older than two years. The University Code for testing is 6334.
Yes, if you are an international student who has received a degree from a U.S. institution.
Official scores will need to be submitted to KSU by ETS.
See link.
Yes, even if you are applying for an assistantship, you need to sign Section I of the form and upload to Graduate School website. The University will not admit you without this signed form (original signature—no copies accepted).
You will need to provide evidence that you have financial support for each dependent you bring by filling out all three sections (mandatory) of the "Affidavit of Financial Support" form (original signature required—no copies accepted).
In many cases arrangements can be made with a K-State research group and the Department to provide support. Your chances will be especially good if you know who you want to work with and what you want to work on.
We have some opportunities for highly-qualified US-based applicants to visit KSU, primarily in the springtime for applicants planning to start graduate work in the fall. Funding is available to defray part or all of the costs for travel and lodging. You will learn more about this possibility after your application is reviewed. Visits at other times of the year are also possible, but funding for such visits may be limited. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or Graduate Affairs Committee Chair for additional details.
- Thanks to the KSU Physics Department, whose FAQ provided much of the framework and content for this one.

2015 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZBlack, 8 Cyl, Automatic, 4WD
- Laurel, MD
Price: $64,527 Mileage: 26
Remember the SUV-asaurus? As a character in an ad campaign, it made us chuckle, the general gist being that the huge sport-utility vehicles of years past were hopelessly out of date, falling prey to higher gas prices and a shifting consumer attitude toward more efficient transportation, namely the car-based crossover. While no specific manufacturer was targeted (besides Suzuki, of course, as it was the brand that paid for the ad campaign), there were a few fullsize SUVs clearly wearing crosshairs – most obviously the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and their corporate Yukon and Yukon XL...

Fresh allegations have surfaced of abuses allegedly carried out by the Thai army against Rohingya boat people fleeing Myanmar. A group of almost 200 Rohingya, currently in the Indonesian province of Aceh, have told Al Jazeera how they were severely beaten after their boat was boarded by the Thai military last month.
Speaking from an Aceh hospital one of the group, Noor Mohamad, a Muslim imam from western Myanmar, told Al Jazeera that his journey started early in December last year when five boats with 585 Rohingya set off from Myanmar in search of for a better life. The refugees were soon captured and beaten by Myanmar navy, he said, but they let them go and even supplied them with fuel and a compass, ordering them to never return.
The Rohingya are a stateless Muslim minority group who face persecution in Myanmar, whose military government does not recognise them as citizens.
Set adrift
Twelve days later, Noor Mohamad said, his group arrived in Thailand.
"They [the Myanmar authorities] used steel rods and thick plastic pipes with metal tips ... but the Thai authorities beat us much worse," Noor Mohamad said.
"I was beaten over my whole body."
They were found by fishermen three weeks later off the Indonesian coast.
The case is the latest in a string of allegations of abuses carried out by Thai authorities against Rohingya boat people that have come to light in recent weeks.
Other cases have seen the Thai army accused of forcing boatloads of Rohingya to return to sea without food and fuel; or abandoned far off shore with their boat's engines disabled or removed.
Reports from survivors who washed up on India's Andaman islands and others in northwest Indonesia suggest hundreds may have died.
Human rights groups accuse the Thai military of carrying out a secret and systematic campaign against the Rohingya, because of suspicions they may be involved with Muslim separatist fighters in Thailand's south.
Thai denials
The Thai military and government have rejected the charges, and they also deny the Rohingya face persecution in their country of origin.
"As for the serious allegations, including that various forms of mistreatment were inflicted, this must be categorically denied as having no place in policy and procedures," the Thai foreign ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
Noor Mohamad said he and 192 others drifted at sea for three weeks when Indonesian fishermen found them.
By then 10 to 15 people on his boat had collapsed he said.
"Indonesian authorities treated us very well. They gave us clothes and food," he told Al Jazeera.
But he said he had no idea what would happen to him and the rest of the group and he fears they may be deported back to Myanmar.
"We heard we will be sent back to Myanmar," he said. "In that case we will ask the Indonesians to kill us. It's better we die in the hands of Muslims."
