What are typical executive administrative assistant salaries? Do some companies pay a lot more for this position than others? What does a top earner make in this field?
What skills should you learn to increase your salary?

I've been doing some research and on average an Exec, Admin, Assist. makes between $26,000-$42,000. For an entry leven Exec, Admin, Assist. it is usually around $21,500-$27,750.

I think the salary depends on the company, and the location.

The online salary calculators (payscale.com or monster.com, etc) I have seen online are bunk. Pay no attention to them. I haven't seen one that is close to accurate. That being said, I can tell you first hand that a true EA position typically pays anywhere from $60k - $90k; it depends on the company, the geographic location, and the culture of the company. A company that knows the value of a talented and professional assistant pays top dollar to employ the best.
Now, there are alot of clerical or admin job postings that simply use the title Executive Assistant, but then offer a salary of only $40k-$45k. So, you will find the salary range all over the board if you consider these lesser positions too.
If you have been an admin for 7-10 years, your skills are probably good enough to work for an executive, provided you have the professional demeanor and work ethic that is expected. So don't accept the mediocre paying position; hold out for a top notch position. It is a job you can be proud of, and the pay can be very good as well.

I was making $57.4 as an Executive Assistant after working for an information technology company for 16 years. I was laid off in December of 2008 and it seems difficult to even match what I was making. Several large companies have called me requesting my salary requirements and after I tell them what my last salary was I do not get a call back. Has anyone else experienced this reaction?

You need all Microsoft Office -Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Calendar.
Most Exec Assist report to Vice Presidents, Sr. Vice President and Exec. Vice President before they get to the President or CEO, CFO.
The range is $50 to 70K. If you working under a sales dept. you may be given a nice bonus from your boss.

I am running into the same problem. Supporting a C level exec I was making in the 90k range and the salaries have really come down and I am having the same problem trying to find something even in the 70s

I moved to Tucson from San Diego; salaries are about 25% less, if you can find a job. My honest opinion is take any job that seems decent, and learn to live on less; it is better to have employment on your resume that a long period of unemployment.
I would never give a salary-just tell them your requirements will be based on their requirements. Let them decide they must have you first, then negotiate salary.

Hi to All,
I have been applying and inteirviewing since May. I took one job that was a temp job, for 26.00 an hour. It was 45 mins. away.
Most recently, I am waiting on a, "projecect admin." role. The pay is 30.00 an hour and I had to fight for that, if I even get the job. It's a bout 40 mins. ride from my house at a major corporation.
As for regular jobs, i've gotten calls with offer's of very low salary in some cases. If you target larger companies, and metro area's and find out who thier temporary agencies are, that helps.
I am hoping to get the contract IT assignment I mentioed above because of the pay being 30.00 an hour. That is through a technical agency and the role is, "project admin".
I am a single home owner and pretty soon, I will be running out of severence. Unemployment will not even cover my mortgage. So, this is giving me extra motivation.
As far as a project assistant desecription: IT's usually assisting IT or Finance technical teams and leaders/project managers. You may do data projects, or sit in on a software team. There may be minute taking but they give you a laptop. It's good to learn Microsoft Project also if you can.
So,I am supposed to find out today and am hoping for the best.
Good luck to everyone also.

I am just a "plain ole Administrative Assistant" - I have almost 20 years of experience supporting project managers in the engineering industry - and I could really use some advice on the "salary requirements" and "salary history" demand question. I received a substantial raise a few months before I was laid off and my final rate was quite a bit higher than the salary range I've seen for admin. asst. positions in this area and I wonder if that alone puts off prospective employers. When given a chance I explain I wasn't at that salary level for very long. Second, are there any practical ways to get around the "salary requirements" demand when submitting a resume? I'm getting a feeling that the sad truth is employers are taking advantage of the bad economy and number of desperate unemployed people to hire whoever is willing to work for the least amount of money rather than who is best for position. Then again I would rather not work for an employer with that attitude ... but I'm still wanting to get someone to look at my resume, especially for positions where I seem to be a good match ... rather then getting dismissed offhand because I made "too much" money at my last job or appear to be asking/expecting "too much" for a salary. Help! Thanks.

I work for a Fortune 20 and my base salary was $45,000 in 2007.
My base salary was increased in 2008 to $52,000 after obtaining my BS.
In 2009, my base salary was once again increased to $82,380 once I completed a year of my graduate degree.
Once I complete my MBA (expected 2010), the pay scale for my position will bring my base salary to $102,500.
If you want top dollar as an Assistant, you have to become an extension of your boss. You need a real education not the occasional seminar.

Great post. I was fortunate and made 68K-71K without the degree. I went to a top program for administration that was a year and a half and had some paralegal training and some college. Still, I worked for a fortune 500 company. The salaries are higher. I was there a long time (15 years) so my pay accumulated. So I was paid for my experience and was lucky to by pass the formal training.
I worked overtime as well. But, I do agree the education helps.
Congrats on your accomplishments.

I was making $77k base and getting around 8k as a bonus yearly as an Executive Assistant at a biotechnology company. The economy led to the demise of the company and so now I'm out looking. Right now, the most I've found is around $65k supporting a VP (instead of the CEO that I used to support and no stock options or bonus). Competition is fierce. For one job I was told that they received 200 applications in 2 days and that I was one of 4 people brought in for interviews. I did not get this position in the end, and, they clearly wanted the work of three people (support 15 people, plus set up and manage a new office). Yes, this is a market economy and like the great depression, there are always those who will take less when push comes to shove. I've never been unemployed, so this has been an eye opener.

To San Diego- I feel the same. I have always been able to get a job. It's scary. I keep trying. My last job the team I supported was 75 plus 100 contractors. They were technical so in some ways independant. But, it was a busy job. I honestly feel there was not a "true" reason to cut my job. It was my boss, and a way to get me out of there easily. No one has replaced me yet, but I am sure they will sneak a temp in there at some point. Pretty much my ex boss had a list, and most that were laid off were people who stood up to the poor management behavior. I thought I had gotten past that with the boss, but they waited a few years for this golden opportunitiy to cut my job. It was the ultimate revenge. It was a large company and I tried to transfer out but, my boss always made it hard. I still got decent reviews but the lay offs were just a way to make the balance sheet look good. They hire people every month for double my salary. My work is farmed out to the other staff or self service.
As far as the job market, it's very hard and you have to use all resoures and all sights available to you, and even then.. no gaurantes.
Last interview I told them I would take less. Most years I made between 68-80K, and believe me working for 75 plus was not easy.
Sometimes I think it's a blessing and I will find something better, other times I am scared of losing everything I worked so hard for.
This keeps me motivated. I have a lot to lose if I don't find a job. So, now I have to press forward and put the past behind me.
There's many emotions and dissapointments, but things can only go up from here.

Don't lose heart and be sure you have a positive and upbeat resume. I've had two calls to set up interviews this past week (of course how much they will really pay is still unknown)!

Thanks so much for your response. I do have a solid reference list. I heard my ex boss did give me a good reference, but as per company policy, they are not allowed to give otherwise. I signed an agreement to get severance and as part of company policy, they have to call an "800" number for refs. But, my list of references are all people who will give a verbal.
I have had a few background checks done and I did well on those.
I am glad you have an interview. But, yes, I love t he way the companies now include an area where you have to put in desired salary. I usually write back and say, what is the pay range for this role?
They are all trying to be cheap. I can take a cut but I need enough to live and pay for the cost of living here which has not gone down.
Good luck and keep us posted on the job.
I hope it works out for you.
I have already applied for several jobs today.
Maybe I will hear back.

Have you also set up an account for yourself at linkedin.com ? I did this and put the link near the top of my resume and now am connected to my previous co-workers (and all of their connections). The site lets you also upload a picture of yourself, which I always wanted to find a way of including in my resume (but could never find another legit way to do this). Also, it shows that you are current with the latest internet networking craze and I've found 90% of the recruiters I've talked to are on there as well. Email me at my personal address and i'll send you a copy of my resume so you'll get the idea. schwabery (at) yahoo

P.s. If they are going to be cheap, there is no way of getting around it. I suggest putting your lowest acceptable salary in there and then if it comes down to an offer and they are "sold" on you, then you can discuss the career track of the job. When I've talked to HR reps, I've told them honestly what my base salary was (but added in a confidential tone) that in this economy I realize that I must refine my expectations and I'm okay with that. They have been friendly so far with this approach...

Thanks for the great ideas. I am also on Linked in. I do see postings but the same one's are usually on the sites too. But, it is still a good resource. I had it on my resume, and as part of my "package", they provided a professional resume rewrite. The person there told me to take the "linked in" off my resume. She wasn't from this part of the country, and I think it's important to keep up with the technical options available. Plus, people can give you references also.
Well, today I found a frew postings. Some are agents trying to stockpile good candidates and make money, and other's are "real" jobs.
I talked to another friend who was cut when I was. She has not had one interview. I am meeting her for lunch to see if I can cheer her up and give her some pointers. Of course, it's great to get all the idea's possible.
Honestly, we sure can't help that the economy is poor, but we can sure as heck, keep on trying.
I just spent a few hours doing yard work. It keeps me busy and my yard looks nice.
Usually Thanksgiving to Xmas is the "blackout" time for hiring, but you can't always go by that.
So, we have to try now to see what we can get and be dilligent in searching this month.

I was just offered a Administrative Assistant to the President/CEO of a large non-profit agency. The salary offer they made was $37,000. I believe this is a low salary offer. While I understand the economy is poor right now, I believe it is in my best interest to counter offer with at least a salary of $40,000. Any thoughts anyone. Thanks in advance for your honest answers.

This is ridiculously low in my neck of the woods, even for a non-profit, but only the best funded and successful non-profits pay a competitive price. You did not mention what you made at your previous job. I was recently forced to accept a lower paying job (about 10k less a year) after massive layoffs at my company of twelve years. I was upfront about my previous pay to my new employer, but told them that I realized it was a "new world" and that I did not expect to start where I had left off with the more established company.
If you decide to go for it, couch your request in positive terms regarding your excitement about coming on board and really making a positive impact. Another option is to take what they offer, but ask them to review your performance after an introductory period and reassess your value then. Good luck!
laid off in Pittsburgh area in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
87 months ago
I am having the same problem. I have been a Senior Administrative Assistant for more than 21 years in private industry. I left my private industry position to work for the Fed Gov. (working for the fed was one of my personal goals) also the current company I worked for was starting to lay off people and had a nasty female boss.
However, this was definitely the wrong move for me since I was laid off after less than a year at the FED agency and Now I have been looking for a job for the past 9 months. Pittsburgh PA market for administrative professionals is way low. Most temp agencies offer as low as $8.00 hr. to the highest I have seen here has been $17.00. My salary when laid off was $43,700. I will be 51 this year and this makes it even harder even though age is not supposed to be used against you for a job.
I still have several months of unemployment, I own my own home because it was my parents house and was given to me, so I do not have a mortgage but I worry about health benefits running out. I am in the running for a temp. job for 1 year plus at a major company I used to work for, this job would pay $17.00/hr with limited benefts, no vacation, no sick days. I am hoping to get it so that I can get back into this company. I have applied for over 50 jobs but have only had 3 interviews.
I hope something good comes along soon for all of us in the same boat!!

I've been an administrative assistant making $25,000.I've also had the title Senior Administrative Assistant at a small non-profit that also dealt with human resources (I really enjoyed hr and would like to get back into it!) where I started $25,000 with my salary going up to $28,600. I want to know WHO THE HECK ARE THE ADMINS MAKING THESE BIG BUCKS IN ST. LOUIS?!?!?! Anytime I interview for a position they keep quoting me this high school money when they see that I have an exemplary background and I have a Bachelor of Arts and Associate of Arts in Communications. I don't understand it....

'100 percent' Mannion to backup Vaz against Utah
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Sean Mannion was Oregon State's biggest fan last weekend against BYU, but this week he's ready to play.
Just eight days after having surgery on his left knee, quarterback Sean Mannion says he feels "100 percent."
He was at practice Thursday making all the throws and will be a backup this Saturday when the Beavers face Utah.
"My goal the whole time was to be ready for the Utah game, so I guess I reached my goal," says Mannion. "Obviously in my mind, it was never fast enough. From what everyone was telling me, I'm pretty far ahead of schedule."
Mannion said that if he needed to, he could come into the game, but after Cody Vaz's impressive performance last weekend against BYU, there is no need to rush things.
"I just need to prepare myself like last week," says Vaz. "You know, even more, just watch more film. I don't want to be surprised by anything that I see out there, so I'm going to do everything I can to prepare myself."
"They are a good football team," says Mike Riley about Utah. "They are very, very physical. All we have to do is look at last year's film to know what being physical means to them."
Last season the Beavers lost 27-8 in Salt Lake City.

In memory of this Golden Age, each year the Saturnalia was observed on December 17 at his temple on the Forum Romanum. This temple, below the Capitoline Hill, contained the Royal Treasury and is one of the oldest in Rome. The Saturnalia was one of the major events of the year. Originally only one day, it was later extended to seven days. During this festival, business was suspended, the roles of master and slaves were reversed, moral restrictions were loosened and gifts were exchanged. Offerings made in his honor were done with uncovered heads, contrary to the Roman tradition.
In contrast to his festival, Saturn himself was never very popular. From the 3rd century on, he was identified with the Greek Cronus, and his cult became only marginally more popular. That he ruled over the Golden Age is an extension to the Greek myth. Saturday is named after him.

Click on the Google Preview image above to read some pages of this book!
Tim Winton's characters are ordinary people who battle to maintain loyalty against all odds; women, children, men whose relationships strain under pressure and leave them bewildered, hoping, sometimes fleeing, but often finding strength in forgotten parts of themselves.
The pre-eminent Australian novelist of his generation, Timâ??s literary
reputation was established early when his first novel, An Open Swimmer,
won the 1981 Australian Vogel Award; his second novel Shallows, won the
Miles Franklin Award in 1984; and his third book, Scission, a
collection of short stories, won the West Australian Council Literary
Award in 1985.
That Eye the Sky was adapted for the stage by Justin Monjo and Richard Roxburgh, and also made into a film. A second film adaptation was made of In the Winter Dark, featuring Brenda Blethyn.
Timâ??s fifth novel, Cloudstreet, the story of two working-class families rebuilding their lives, was a huge literary and commercial success. It has been a best seller since its publication in 1991 and was recently voted the most popular Australian novel by the Australian Society of Authors. Awards include National Book Council Banjo Award for Fiction, 1991; West Australian Fiction Award 1991; Deo Gloria Award (UK), 1991 and the 1992 Miles Franklin Award.
Cloudstreet, was adapted for the stage by Nick Enright and Justin Monjo, and played to sell-out houses around Australia and in Zurich, London and Dublin in 1999. It toured internationally again in 2001, playing in London, New York and Washington. Film rights have been bought by Cloudstreet Inc. (USA).
Timâ??s 1995 novel The Riders was shortlisted for the prestigious Booker Prize and has been translated into numerous languages including French, German, Italian, Danish, Dutch, Polish, Greek and Hebrew.
His books for children and teenagers include the series of three books about the 13 year old Lockie Leonard. The first book in the series, Lockie Leonard, Human Torpedo, won the Western Australia Premier's Award for Children's Fiction. It was adapted for the stage by Paige Gibbs and toured nationally with great success. Lockie Leonard, Legend, the most recent in the series, won the Family Award for Childrenâ??s Literature. The books are being made into a television series by RB Films.
In 2001 Timâ??s novel, Dirt Music, was published to considerable critical acclaim and impressive reviews. The book was shortlisted for the 2002 Mann Booker Prize and won the 2002 Miles Franklin Award, the West Australian Fiction Award and the Christina Stead Award for Fiction. Film rights have been optioned to Phil Noyceâ??s film company, Rumbalara Films, and Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz are signed to star in the film.
The Turning, published in 2004, was described as At once exquisite and unsettling, brimming with imagery so lush and observations so precise the book is almost incandescent (The Bulletin). The Turning was shortlisted for the Frank Oâ??Connor Short Story Award and won the Christina Stead Prize for Fiction, the Queensland Fiction Book Award and the Colin Roderick Award.
His new novel, Breath, was published by Penguin Books Australia, Picador United Kingdom, Farrar Straus Giroux USA, Harper Collins Canada, de Gues in the Netherlands, Luchterland Germany and Editions Rivages Payot France in 2008.
Breath was awarded the 2009 Miles Franklin Prize for Literature.
Tim Winton is patron of the Tim Winton Award for Young Writers sponsored by the City of Subiaco, Western Australia. Active in the environmental movement in Australia, he was awarded the Centenary Medal for service to literature and the community. He is also the patron of the Australian Marine Conservation Society and the Stop the Toad Foundation and is active in many of their campaigns. He has recently contributed to the whaling debate with an article published on The Last Whale website. He lives in Western Australia with his wife and three children.

Republican incumbent Erik Paulsen has won re-election in the Third Congressional District race against challenger Brian Barnes.
With nearly 77 percent of precincts reporting, Barnes conceded the race to Paulsen, who earned 58 percent of votes and Barnes had 41.5 percent, as of 11:15 p.m. Tuesday evening.
Paulsen gave his victory speech when approximately 50 percent of precincts had reported their numbers, showing Paulsen with more than 60 percent of those votes.
The news was well received during the Republican's election party at the Hilton Minneapolis-Bloomington Tuesday night, since it came shortly after Kurt Bills gave his concession speech in his run against Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
The crowd cheered not only over Paulsen's win, but other expected results for the makeup of the U.S. House of Representatives.
"We got one win on the board, and look this is going to be a long night. … There are more wins to come, without any doubt. The good news is the House is going to stay in hands of the Republican majority."
After 77 percent of precincts reported, Barnes called Paulsen to congratulate him on a victory and then released a statement to the press.
"Tonight didn't end as we would've liked, but this campaign has never been about just one election," Barnes said in the statement.
"We set out on this journey 15 months ago to raise important issues and to change the tone in Washington, D.C. Win or lose, Election Day was always simply a marker we'd have to pass on the road to building a politics worthy of all Minnesotans and all Americans."

Muskingum College Center for Church Life hosts Faith Based Grants: Funding the Vision, November 13
The Muskingum College Center for Church Life will host Faith Based Grants: Funding the Vision, on Saturday, November 13 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., on the campus. This seminar addresses the opportunities and challenges associated with faith-based funding.
The cost of the seminar is $10, which includes lunch, and the registration deadline is November 1. Registration material and other information is available by calling 740-826-6105.
The keynote speaker is The Reverend Jack McClelland, executive director of the Eastside Community Ministry of Zanesville, speaking on The Changing Role of the Church in the Community.
The Eastside Community Ministry was founded by the Central Presbyterian Church in 1958 as a center for low-income children. The ministry is now ecumenical in nature and offers a broad array of services to low-income families. Before serving at Eastside Ministries, Rev. McClelland was associate minister at First Baptist Church in Middlesboro, Ky.
The seminar will then break into concurrent sessions throughout the day, with a break for lunch.
Grant Writing 101 will cover the nuts and bolts of grant writing, including information on faith-based grants and regional funding. The session will be conducted by Pamela Jira, assistant to the president at Zane State College; and Chris Shaw, CAP, grants and special projects coordinator for Ohio University, Zanesville.
Church and Community Collaboration will discuss the opportunities and challenges of collaboration between churches and their communities. It will be conducted by T. Richard Murray, Ed.D., superintendent of the Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center in Zanesville, a state agency dedicated to providing educational leadership and services for Coshocton, Morgan and Muskingum counties; and Dave Boyer, the executive director of Muskingum County Children Services Board.
Successful Models: Sharing Successes will talk about successful funding efforts that have worked for different congregations. It will be taught by Rev. Rob Turner, associate pastor, Faith United Methodist Church, Zanesville; Rev. Tim Alexander, youth pastor, Cornerstone Full Gospel Church, Duncan Falls; Rev. Mary Gene Boteler, pastor, Brighton Presbyterian Church, Zanesville.
Seeking Quality Experiences for Youth: Developmental Assets will discuss the concrete, common sense positive experiences and qualities that are essential to raising successful young people. Churches seeking to fund visions relating to young people will want to gain an understanding of these important developmental assets. This session will be conducted by Rev. James McDonald, director of Muskingum Counseling Center, part of Six County, Inc., an agency providing mental health services for six Ohio counties.
Upcoming Center for Church Life events for 2005 are Jesus Interprets His Own Cross, with Reverend Dr. Ken Bailey, canon theologian of the diocese of Pittsburgh of the Episcopal Church, on Tuesday, February 8, 2005; and Understanding Youth Culture for Parents and Youth Ministers, with veteran Christian educator Rev. Roger Nishioka; on Saturday, November 5, 2005.
The Center for Church Life is a joint venture of Muskingum College, the Presbyterian Church (USA) Bicentennial Fund, and the Presbytery of Muskingum Valley. The Center provides programs and services to support the ministries and missions of local congregations.

Shot in and around Tooting, a film that looked like never being made after funding efforts stalled, is in post production and could be on our screen before the end of the year.
Tooting-based writer and director Andrew Flynn and first time producer Chris Nials have overcome considerable odds to be on the verge of completing feature film Early Bird.
A bid to raise £13,000 in a month with a on-line Kickstarter campaign at the end of last year fell flat, threatening to derail the project, but the small team refused to be defeated.
Mr Nials, who is also founder of on-line horror film fan site London Horror Society, said: "As part of the Kickstarter campaign we had spoken to a lot of people and businesses who excited about the project we sat down and said we have to make this happen."
Through the support of businesses offering locations for free, colleagues Mr Nials knew through the London Horror Society, and by cutting costs the team shot the 80 minute film in 10 days in late January early February.
Mr Nials, 32, said: "It was pretty hectic. We did some re-writes pulled in a lot of favours. So many people were amazing in offering locations for free, or lending us equipment."
With the film now in the final stages of post production, the next stage is organising how it is distributed, with the team aiming to screen Early Bird somewhere in the area in autumn.
Based around the idea of a flat-share situation from hell, the majority of the film was shot in an apartment metres from Tooting Broadway, but viewers should also look out for scenes shot in Little Bar on Mitcham Road, and Fisher and Co coffee shop on Tooting High Street.
Mr Nials said: "We didn't originally have Tooting in mind, but the theme, worked so well as so many people living there are probably in some sort of flat share situation.
"It was not based on one specific person but we have taken a situation where 95 per cent of people find themselves in and maxed it up. There are definitely some elements of taking from real life."

Adrian Belew Power Trio ft. members of King Crimson at Boulder Theater
Boulder Weekly is proud to present Adrian Belew Power Trio with Stickmen featuring Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto from King Crimson at the Boulder Theater on Tuesday, October 11th, 2011. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 24th for $25 General Admission, $30 Reserved and $40 Gold Circle.
"2 of a Perfect Trio" Tour
King Crimson players Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto keep very busy individually when Crimson's not active, but now, a historic joint tour: Adrian Belew Power Trio will headline the bill, with Stick Men (featuring Tony and Pat) opening.
And of course, how could they resist joining together for a Crim-centric extended encore - after their respective sets we'll see them reconfigure as Ade/Tony/Pat trio, morphing into the double trio lineup like King Crimson featured in the 90's.
The tour name, 2 of a Perfect Trio, harkens to the King Crimson song "3 of a Perfect Pair"
Adrian Belew's trio features the amazing bassist Julie Slick, and NYC drummer Tobias Ralph - perfect complements to Belew's extraordinary guitar playing and singing.
Stick Men presents Tony Levin's virtuosic playing on the Chapman Stick, with Pat Mastelotto giving his unique progressive drumming on both acoustic and electronic drums. Markus Reuter rounds out the band, playing his self-designed touch style guitar.

PAUL Grayson admits it would be a nice and unexpected bonus to have Ravi Bopara available for the start of their season.
The England all-rounder failed to attract a bid at the auction for this year's Indian Premier League and, as things stand, will be available for the county's start to the new campaign in April.
Bopara's starting option of $100,000 (£64,000) did not attract interest from any of the franchises.
It was the second year running he's been overlooked, and Essex head coach Grayson said that could be a big bonus for them.
He said: "I haven't spoken to Ravi because he's in Bangladesh, but he'll be disappointed he did not get any deals with the IPL.
"We are not banking that he will now be definitely available for us, though. He is available now but things change quickly in the Indian Premier League, and players can still get picked up if there's any injuries.
"But we were preparing for him not being available for us, so we will be really pleased if he is because we'd like to think he'll make a big contribution to the team because it's a big year for him this year."
England batsman Kevin Pietersen tweeted his surprise at Bopara missing out, saying: "How Ravi Bopara didn't get picked up in the IPL auction is beyond me! Bowls/bats/fields and a top team man! Maybe he will get in somehow...".
Grayson admitted it was a surprise to him too.
"I don't know why he was not picked to be honest," said Grayson.
"Maybe his form dipped in the second half of last season, so that's probably why one of two people were a bit scared away.
"We know at Essex that if you get him in good form and get him in a good place he's a good bowler in one-day cricket, an outstanding batsman and a very good fielder as well."
Bopara played for Kings XI Punjab in the 2009 and 2010 IPL tournaments but has not featured for the last two years. Fellow England international Matt Prior plus Ireland batsman Kevin O'Brien also failed to attract bids at the IPL auction on Sunday.
Former Hampshire batsman and rising Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell fetched the highest bid of $1m (£637,000) from Mumbai Indians.

Yeah, I don't feel great about this one.
Officials letting them play so far. I love it.
No, this officiating does suck. There is zero definition to what constitutes a foul vs what does not. First 5 mins was call everything (see also: Hulls picks up 2 quick fouls). Now nothing is called. Zeller getting hacked, no calls.
Christian Watford really is one of the most disappointing players in IU history. I keep waiting for him to have that DJ White epiphany. It's not going to happen.
Some seriously lazy ball on offense.
I think you're really misremembering white to compare him to watford
White was hurt/soft his first few years. He played too far away from the basket, played soft was too in love with his long-range game. He figured it out later in his junior year and all throughout the senior year: he needed to play like a damn forward. And his senior year was one of the guttiest years any IU player ever put together, even as the team crumbled around him. He boarded hard, he played hard inside, he boxed out, did all the right things.
Watford is a poodle in a Great Dane's body. Does everything half-assed, and does it 15+ feet away from the basket.
This ****ing ***** Gatens is kiling us. Mother****er.
White never played like watford. He may have been hurt at times or grown into his game but he was never as soft as watford.
Last edited by Trader Joe; 02-19-2012 at 08:55 PM.
Fair enough. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm waiting for Watford to have that epiphany that he needs to play like a 4, not a 2.
I thought White had a realization like that and played a lot harder later in his career. His attitude change got him in the NBA. I want Watford to have a similar epiphany, but I doubt he will.
Madison Square Garden.
gets the juices flowing, huh?
'Zo's Volunteers seem to be coming on, too, though to late for the Big Dance. Throw in maybe Butler, and it would be a pretty decent Final Four.
A 20 win iu team with wins over uk osu mich notre dame is not missing the tourney
Andrae Patterson is a better comparison to Watford...
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
Man, had no idea how to attack the zone and got completely worked over physically. It's definitely been our downfall in B10 play - lack of length, strength, athleticism inside.
They need to work with Zeller in the offseason on developing jump hooks with both hands. Maybe just a left hand period around the hoop. All would really make him more effective around the rim.
Glad they made 20 wins and are likely in the tournament. No complaints. However, I think they've about shot their wad. Lot of holes to patch in terms of quickness/athleticism over the next couple years. Hopefully, recruits will live up to the hype.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
A bad loss for sure but this team is progressing nicely overall. People that get bent out of shape over this loss need to understand that IU is not a Final Four, top 15 team but is no longer a laughingstock in the conference or nationally.
Would agree, but I think it's fair to have some serious criticisms for Hulls and Watford, who really aren't fulfilling their roles as leaders or playing even remotely acceptable basketball. And while I think the Crean love/hate is always way overblown (he's either the best or worst, gauging Peegs forum), I think it's fair to question his coaching a bit after his team has looked unprepared to face the zone twice in a row now.
At the very least, we should beat NCCU and Purdue at home, if we win a game or two in the tourney in Indianapolis (which will basically be a home environment for the Hoosiers), then we will still likely end up something like a 4 seed and probably no lower than a 5.
I wad talking to someone about IU and I just thought "they are a lock for the tourney BUT their great wins are almost negated by some bad losses..." how does IU beat UK and OSU but lose to Iowa? That's got to be frustrating.
Let me make this clear, as of right now, we are the only team in the entire country that has beaten Kentucky...the...only...one. Combine that with our other good wins (vs OSU, vs. Mich, vs. ND (on a neutral court), @NC St.) they are not even close to being negated by our bad losses.
Iowa walloped Michigan at home as well. Don't know why everyone seems to be forgetting this. That was anything but a guaranteed win. We are 5th right now in what is regarded as the most difficult conference in America. We have 20 wins, and while this shouldn't matter it does, we are Indiana.
We would have to lose every game left on our schedule and our first tourney game to not get in and even then we would still probably get in as a 9 seed or a 10 seed.
Last edited by Trader Joe; 02-20-2012 at 11:25 AM.
Fortunately, we tend to play better on a neutral court than a true opposing court. Otherwise, we'd be a lock first-round out in the tourney.
Honestly? They won games they shouldn't have. They lost games they shouldn't have.
What's that mean? They're a young, inconsistent teams.
Maybe not for much longer. Miss. St. up 13 on the Cats at halftime.
A meh performance over a mediocre mid-major school. 21 wins is nice- at least we are back to respectability and should stay there for the foreseeable future.

The sounds of shouting and fake gunshots echoed around the Cal State Northridge campus Thursday morning as about 100 police officers gathered to practice for a worst-case scenario that has become all too real: a shooter on campus. | PHOTOS
It was coincidence that the "active shooter" drill at CSUN came just six days after 26 people, including 20 children, were shot dead at a Connecticut elementary school.
"It was very much on our minds," CSUN Police Chief Anne Glavin said after the exercise. "You get starkly reminded of why you're doing it and the fact these things sadly do occur. And we have to be prepared to deal with them."
The annual exercise involved officers from CSUN police and five other departments. Students are on winter break.
Capt. Scott Vanscoy of the campus police said they've been doing the drills with other police agencies for five years. Before that, CSUN police did their own drills.
The campus force was joined by officers from the Los Angeles police, Los Angeles school police, California Highway Patrol and Simi Valley police, plus sheriff's deputies from the Lost Hills station.
About five officers at a time went through a 15- to 20-minute scenario, then were debriefed as the next group ran through a drill.
The scenarios are changed every year, and this year's included practice on dealing with deaf people in an emergency. CSUN is home to the National Center on Deafness, which serves about 175 deaf or hard of hearing students at the university.
Some of those students played shooting victims or bystanders.

I am so loving Emily Murgatroyd and DeSmog Blog TV. This wry and clever component of the DeSmog Blog site perfectly balances the enormity of global warming. This site and Emily are uniquely Canadian and demonstrates the resilience of Canadian culture. Keep it up!
Hi, you're doing great work
Hi, you're doing great work here at DeSmogBlog. Only, as a European I find it strange that there is still a need for a 'debate' in the U.S. (we thought America was the place of the bright and the Enligthened people). In Europe, the 'debate' on global warming ended in 1990.
So keep up the good work to make it end in the U.S. too. We need you guys on board to tackle climate change.
Cheers from Belgium, Jonas

Thanks for your supportive comments. The US is a large part of our focus at the DeSmogBlog, (see our 'Support Operation Desmog USA" initiative on the right hand side of the site.) and we fully recognize the importance of getting them on the right side of the issue. Keep giving us your feedback - much appreciated.

Thanks Jeff! It's nice not being compared to the church lady for once. : )
NOAA NWS downplay strategy exposed
The reason the the global warming debate goes on in the US is partly explained in the July 20, 2007 article in the Miami Herald, link below. Although the article content itself deals with a problem with satellites used for hurricane monitoring the strategy that NOAA NWS management has used to downplay problems with QuikScat and global warming is being exposed in the "Recent comments" to the article.

OMG!!! LOL!!! Bush is teh STOOPID!! HAHAHAHA!! (9/11=inside job)
Don't get me wrong, I've always thought that Will Ferrel is a top-notch comedian. But I've always felt there was something missing – something to give his material a just a little nudge, to push it right over the top into pure comedy gold.
I could never figure out what was lacking. Sure, Will Ferrel makes people laugh. In fact, he's hilarious. But, somehow, he just didn't quite have what it takes to distinguish himself. What is it that the best writers of Saturday Night Live and Hollywood couldn't provide to give him that little extra pizzaz.
Now we know. It all seems so obvious. This video is just the right medicine. As this brilliant video proves, all that was needed was to have some smirking fake questions clumsily edited-in, written by what seems to be borderline retarded 8-year-olds, and shot with a cheap camera-phone. Simple, yet INGENIOUS! Take that, you professional comedy writers.
"This site and Emily are uniquely Canadian and demonstrates the resilience of Canadian culture. Keep it up!"
Indeed. If, by "uniquely Canadian", you mean "derivative, pedantic, smug, way-behind the curve, and completely un-funny." Another glass of Chardonnay for you, Jeffery?
So are you a Canadian
So are you a Canadian self-hater, EH? Not surprising, really, given your chosen handle.

A Colorful Midday Meal at Feast
On a recent trip to Texas, Reef wasn't the only provocative meal that I had. I also ate an unorthodox lunch at Feast, a restaurant that was opened by three British ex-pats, James Silk, Meagan Silk, and Richard Knight, in Houston last year. The eatery, which has earned accolades from the New York Times as well as a James Beard Best New Restaurant nomination, focuses on adventurous and gourmet nose-to-tail dining. See more of the restaurant — and the dishes that push America's dining envelope — when you keep reading.
