A recent Bloomberg report stated that satellite-TV operator DISH Network Corp. (DISH - Analyst Report) has made an offer of $2 billion to purchase the wireless frequencies of the bankrupt wireless wholesale service provider LightSquared Inc. However, the approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a major concern looming over this offer. FCC refused the use of this particular airwave as it was interfering with the global positioning system. This is the reason behind Lightsquared's bankruptcy.
For DISH, we believe that management is trying hard to develop the company as storage for spectrums that can be used to deploy a viable nationwide mobile network to offer bundled triple-play wireless voice, broadband Internet and pay-TV network. DISH is primarily targeting the wireless spectrum of those firms which went bankrupt. In 2012, the company purchased 2 slots of the 40 MHz S-band wireless spectrum fromTerreStar Networks Inc. and DBSD North America Inc. for a consideration of $2.9 billion.
In a major strategic move, DISH made a counter bid of $25.5 million to acquire Sprint Nextel Corp. (S - Analyst Report). Softbank of Japan had earlier made a $20.1 billion bid for Sprint. DISH network is trying hard to either acquire or collaborate with an established wireless operator to challenge telecom giants such as, Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Analyst Report) and AT&T Inc. (T - Analyst Report).
Earlier, DISH had purchased bankrupt movie-rental chain Blockbluster Inc. However, the acquisition failed to provide the required synergies to DISH and is currently considered as one of its worst performing assets. Successful deployment of a nationwide wireless network may enable DISH to install a formidable video-on-demand service over a wireless network of mobile handsets, such as smartphones and tablets. DISH currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

The State of the Union Address has, in keeping with all things American, gone all steroidal on us. In what used to be a humble effort to meet a Constitutional requirement that was once fulfilled with a message from George Washington that was not much longer than this post, we now find an extravaganza with national television coverage, pundits commenting on the reaction of pundits, an official opposition response, its own logo and theme music on the networks, and a host of set pieces (like the First Lady's box filled with notable Americans with heart-warming stories -- this year, that's means heroes and victims of the Tucson shooting.) It's got just enough calculated drama and just as little connection to the day-to-day life of average citizens to actually be a reality show. The only problem is there is not enough drinking. (But we will take care of that shortly.)
In fact, typically, the State of the Union Address is the political equivalent of the Super Bowl: A mid-winter ritual that combines hype, meaninglessness and boredom in equal parts. If only the president's address had good advertisements to liven up the action ... but maybe next year... (I'd love to see the Budweiser Clydesdale's take on health care reform.)
To help alleviate this, as a public service, let me offer the following score sheet. Simply watch (or listen to) the address and score per the instructions. Then see the key below to interpret the speech. The objective is to help determine whether the speech rises to the level of something actually newsworthy (not to mention worthy of the time of the president, his cabinet, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the news media and, most important of all, viewing audiences across America.) The scoring approach is simple: the president gets points for actually rising to the potential of the occasion and has them deducted for pandering, filling time, engaging in empty rhetoric, or worse. The score sheet is broken into several categories corresponding to different dimensions of the speech.
Foreign Policy
Domestic Policy:
The scoring key is:
50 points or more: Rooseveltian (pick your favorite
40-49 points: Reaganesque (or Truman-esque, you pick)
30-39 points: Kennedy-esque (pick your favorite Kennedy)
20-29 points:
Eisenhower-esque (What he
lacked in style he made up for in substance)
10-19 points: Clinton-esque (I'd rate him
higher but I served then...don't want to appear biased)
0-9 points: Bush 41-esque (He was a better president than his speeches)
-1-10 points: Carter-esque or Ford-esque (In the
interest of bi-partisanship)
-11-20 points: Bush 43-esque (He was not as good as
his speeches)
-21-30 points: Nixonian (It's complicated...)
-31-40 points: James Buchanan-esque
Below -40 points: Introducing your next president, Mitt Romney
If this doesn't work, try the State of the Union drinking game. This year's key word is: civility. Any use of this word, a variant of it, or concepts associated with it, and you take a drink. Any bi-partisan applause, you take a drink. Any breakdowns in civility or displays of partisanship, you take two drinks. I say you're unconscious even before those Americans who pass out due to boredom. However, if you seek an even quicker buzz, switch to the Advanced SOTU Drinking program where you can take a drink every time the words job or any employment related term or concept is mentioned. Don't hesitate to share your colorful drinking game stories.

Pass the jagger bombs. That's the only way I can stomach Obama telling me he's concerned about my middle class family because his actions scream he doesn't give a damn!
Like a lot of David Rothkopf's posts, this post takes almost as much effort to get through as a typical State of the Union address. I don't know why he doesn't at least try to get himself an editor.
From what I'm hearing, this year's SoTU drinking game should be based on the word "competitiveness."
Yes, I think Obama is going to unveil his plan for helping American corporations compete both with foreign corporations and American workers.
After registering here, and after a lot of lookups on bloggers and articles, I chose to read this one 1st. And I bet - one of the most well written ones. Too good sir. Liked your style of writing a lot.
I'm a bit more than half way through your Superclass book and I think it provides a valuable perspective from a quasi insider. You present pretty damning evidence that the world is in fact run by just a few thousand at great cost to democracy. The book is presented in a similar manner as the great social critic C. Wright Mills' The Power Elite and much of your conclusions are down the same lines as his. (Keep in mind I haven't finished the book yet.)
So, I looked you up and found this blog. I'm forced to admit that I'm disappointed to see your political positions are in the same place as such other prominent centrist democrats as Robert Rubin. Spokesmen for this group tend to be very wealthy insiders and are often associated with Wall Street. They can occasionally sound populist but the reality is that they refuse to offer anything but cliches or completely irrelevant tweaks. Although far more benign than those of the extreme right, they may actually hurt the cause of the majority / democracy more since the views are more subtle and not as obviously beneficial to a particular class. The views can sound reasonable and moderate but the reality is that they perpetuate a system in which power and wealth is controlled by very very people.
The game of this post is a good example. Many of the 5 pointers do direct harm to the majority population and I see nothing that would directly reduce the power of concentrated wealth. Like all policies, one can argue that they indirectly will help the majority but that's a real stretch. Here's some of the undemocratic 5 pointers: reducing public spending, cutting "entitlements" (i.e. old age security and health care), support for the view that corporate competitiveness should be the key driver, promotion of "free" trade, an attachment to eliminating the "deficit" (which I argue is a completely false concern in a fiat currency regime), reducing business regulation, a high regard for "bipartisanship" with a party so clearly representing nothing but wealth, and no mention of sharp increases in progressive income taxes.
I find the inconsistency between your book which raises concerns right out of the pages of C. Wright Mills and even Karl Marx and your real world views very striking.
After reading your rules, it goes against my better judgement to use vodka as the staple drink of this game, I will instead do the smart thing and grab beer. Then, maybe later on, I'll switch to vodka.
Also, I feel like the post-speech commentaries can also be made into drinking games fairly easily.
David Rothkopf is the CEO and Editor-at-Large of Foreign Policy. His new book, "Power, Inc.: The Epic Rivalry Between Big Business and Government and the Reckoning that Lies Ahead" is due out from Farrar, Straus & Giroux on March 1.

Mall with a lot of athletic shoe stores, urban wear, dollar stores, wig shops, stores that don't exist in other malls, stores where you can see they were once a national store such as The Gap, but something else moved in and did not remodel much and have a banner sign over the Gap sign.

AuditAnalytics (available in WRDS) is a deep, multifaceted database containing data on thousands of auditors and the corporations they audit. Although the file can easily link auditors and the companies they audit, it has many more uses than a simple "Who Audits Whom" database.
The image on the left shows the many modules available for searching.
Here are two examples of research questions that show off AuditAnalytics' ability to analyze auditing in depth.
1. Restatements: Identify companies for which the restatement identified fraud.
The SEC can require a company to reissue its financial statements for reasons ranging from clerical errors to fraud. Here's how to search AuditAnalytics for an answer.
From the list of modules displayed to the left, choose:
Audit and Compliance => Non-Reliance Restatements.
Now choose your search criteria.
Step 1: Enter Date Range (e.g. from 2004 to date)
Step 2: Choose option "Search Entire Database" (Other options here are to search for one or more companies by ticker or CIK number, or to upload a text file of such company identifiers).
Step 3: Choose Variables to display including "Res Fraud" and "Res Fraud Category Title List"
Click on "Manuals and Overviews" from the top of the screen to identify relevant variables and their definitions for each module. Here, "Res Fraud" indicates that a restatement identified fraud, and "Res Fraud Category Title List" describes the nature of the fraud.
Step 4: Select an output format, then click "Submit Query". Continue reading

Eva Longoria stars at Senate hearing to promote Latina entrepreneurs
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
Celebrity advocates are common on Capitol Hill, but actress Eva Longoria was more than just a pretty face at a Senate hearing on "Strengthening the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem for Minority Women." The "Desperate Housewives" star not only is an entrepreneur herself -- Longoria owns two restaurants and manages her own production company -- she's also launched a foundation to help other Latinas start and grow their own businesses.
Witness: Eva Longoria, owner of Beso and SHe restaurants, manager of UnBeliEVAable Entertainment, and founder of the Eva Longoria Foundation.
Hearing: Senate Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee on expanding business opportunities for minority women
Why Longoria was there: To encourage more support for Latina business owners, many of whom are held back by lack of training and limited access to capital.
What Longoria is doing about it: Her foundation has teamed with philanthropist Howard Buffett (son of Warren Buffett) to launch a program to provide business training and $2 million in micro loans to Latina entrepreneurs over the next four years. The program is starting in Texas and then will expand to California.
What government can do: Increase funding for the Small Business Administration's Women Business Centers program and the Minority Business Development Agency. "We are only emulating [these] successful programs," Longoria said. Plus, the government needs to push banks to make loans to Latina business owners.
Longoria's best lines: "Diversity breeds innovation, and that is what our country needs right now. ... Latinas are one of our nation's greatest natural resources, and we have to treat them as such. If we invest in giving Latinas the tools to unlock their potential today, we can create a brighter economic future for our country."

Char-Broil is aware of at least 30 reports of the gauges breaking, including 12 incidents of consumers who reported minor injuries. The gauges were manufactured by Grand Hall Enterprise Co., Ltd. of Taiwan. The products involved in the recall are outdoor, gas barbeque grills from the company's Commercial Series, Professional Series, and Stainless Steel Series. The Commercial Series models are constructed from both painted metal and stainless steel. The Professional Series and Stainless Steel Series models are made of stainless steel.

These grills are sold as LP or natural gas, three or four main burners, with or without a side burner, and a cabinet with doors. The recalled Stainless Steel Series by Char-Broil gas grill has model number 4632220. This grill is sold with three main burners and an open Stainless Steel Cart.

Although Yale Endowment CIO David Swensen tends to invest in some alternative investments, he is a strong proponent of index funds, telling NPR that over reasonable amounts of time, you stand little chance of beating the index fund. Most investors who try to emulate Swensen's success do not fully understand the inner workings of alternative investments, including their true costs and their real returns.

2 charged in Pittsburgh car chase, crash that ended in drowning
By Matthew Santoni
Published: Friday, Nov. 9, 2012, 12:01 a.m.
Pittsburgh police charged two passengers involved in a chase and crash that ended with the driver drowning in the Allegheny River.
Antoine Leonard and his brother Anthony, both 20 and residents of East Liberty, were passengers in a silver Ford Taurus that David Thomas, 19, of the North Side drove through the Strip District at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, court records show.
When police tried to pull them over for running a stop sign, Thomas led officers on a chase through the Strip District into Downtown, clipping another vehicle stopped from an unrelated accident. Thomas drove went the wrong way on Ft. Duquesne Boulevard and crashed into another car, police said.
Police believed the Taurus was carjacked Monday night in Lawrenceville and said Thomas was a suspect.
Police said he fled on foot, jumping and falling from Ft. Duquesne Boulevard to the 10th Street Bypass and the riverwalk along the Allegheny River. He tossed a gun before jumping into the river.
Thomas swam toward the North Shore but turned back. He treaded water for a few seconds within 5 or 6 feet of the riverwalk before disappearing underwater, police said.
Pittsburgh River Rescue recovered his body about an hour later. The Medical Examiner's Office performed an autopsy on Thursday and concluded that Thomas drowned.
Anthony Leonard also ran from the car, but police caught him. Officers took Antoine Leonard from the back seat.
In the trunk of the car, police found a wheelchair belonging to Antoine and a nylon bag with a handgun, ammunition and medical supplies that both siblings later said were Antoine's.
Police charged Antoine Leonard with possessing an unlicensed firearm. He remained jailed under $25,000 bail. Police charged Anthony Leonard by summons with criminal mischief and resisting arrest.

Johannesburg - Lions head coach John Mitchell said he needs to help some of the younger players in the squad, to make the step up to Super Rugby as soon as possible.
Mitchell said after his side's 28-6 defeat against the Stormers at Newlands on Friday, that mental fortitude was an important part of the team's preparation.
The Lions team included several players who carried the side to last season's Currie Cup title while the Stormers fielded players, particularly along the Springbok-laden backline, which saw the franchise win the South African Super Rugby Conference.
"I will be looking to close that mental window for them (the youngsters) very quickly," said Mitchell.
"Also because the (substitutes) bench will be critical at some stage, we have to make sure that we've prepared the guys.
"I have a few under-19 players because there was nothing to buy, at least not players with reputation.
"I'd rather bring youth through the ranks in our system and that has been a big part of my coaching career."
Mitchell felt that in terms of preparedness for the match, his team needed another week to be adequately conditioned.
"Our preparation was probably a week short for this game," said Mitchell.
"We were pretty average in attack and there's work to do in the line-outs. "But it was a good starting point for us and performance-wise we can see there is still a lot to work on.
"As we close in on the start of the season we will look to be sharper and more physical.
"Our style of football will be refreshing and nothing will change the way we play our football."
Mitchell said his side's performance fell apart in the closing stages.
"There was individualism and selfishness towards the end," said Mitchell.
"We have to start to focus on the details (of our playing pattern)." Stormers coach Allister Coetzee praised the Lions for the thrust they displayed with ball in hand.
"We saw what a threat the Lions pose when they dominate," said Coetzee. "We were physical and showed attitude. It's the kind of attributes we need to see as we approach the start of the season.
"But there is a lot of things to work on, especially at the breakdown." Stormers captain Schalk Burger said he was pleased with his side's performance at the breakdown when his side was on attack.
"We were effective at the breakdown on attack," said Burger.
"We've got to stay on our feet and make sure we're not falling in the wrong place. It's important at this stage to get through the matches physically."

The firm-fixed-price award, granted under a 2006 contract for the U.S. Navy's Surface Ship Torpedo Defense program, is for five years and carries a value of $14.8 million.
The system by Argon ST, a subsidiary of Boeing, is the AN/SLQ-25C, nicknamed the Nixie. It is a towed decoy system that lures torpedoes away from ships though simulated electronic signals that mimic a ships propulsion system. It also has sensors to detect enemy submarines.
Under the award, Argon will not only produce the systems, but it will also deliver enhancements to the system already in use, the company said.
"The Navy has relied on Argon ST for advanced signals intelligence and counter-measure systems for almost a decade," said Joe Carlin, Argon ST vice president. "We are committed to upgrading current systems and developing the next generation of SSTD in order to protect sailors and Marines and help them complete their missions."

January 2012
Be in a movie.
- Zip-Line in Kauai
- Volunteer
- Look for a new job (?)
- Go to LA
- Save up for a car
- Have more bonfires.
- Throw another party with a jumper and piñata for my 20th birthday HAHAHAHA!
- Go to a cornmaze on Halloween.
- Ghost hunt in Hawaii. omg.
- Read a GOOOD book.
It's always the internet that's the first to go.
I am running on 16% battery power right now and I am bored now that I finished revamping my lovely laptop. Currently adjusting to this new keyboard cover since it was getting dirty and o0oglay. For two classes, I just spent $93 on books. How many books you ask? Two. THIS IS SO STUPID.
I'm torn between two classes because I want to get a move on with my "major" and also finish my stupid segments. One class is Ethnic Studies 110 and the other is TH A130 which is an acting class. Without the Acting workshop, I wouldn't be done with segment two and there's so many reasons why I want to take this class. It's something NEW. I'm tired of taking bullshit classes just to finish up clusters and shit so MAYBE if I can gather up the balls to stay in this class, I'll do it. I took yoga two semesters ago and I've been stuck on it since. I also put down on my bucket list to one day be in a movie. LOL Hey, DREAM BIG. I find GOOD movies/shows with GOOD actors a motivation too. They have so much things to bring to the table.
I'm so ready to take on new challenges this semester/year. I'm ready to meet new people and get myself in new hobbies and stuff like that. It's a shitty feeling when you're "stuck" and I'm just desperate to move on.
I have so much more stuff to put down but I'm running low on juice and I need to get ready for tomorrow!
- Casey Anthony:So it's kind of obvious that I either killed my kid or knew about it and don't give a fuck lol.
- Court:Sounds good. You're free to go.
- OJ Simpson:So after being found not guilty for killing my wife, I wrote a book about doing it. That's kinda just slapping it in your face that I did it and you let me go.
- Court:Nah, I know you're a good guy.
- Teenagers:I can't really afford CDs or iTunes, so I download my music so that I can -
- Court:How dare you breathe?
Old people eating alone.
- elementary school:I went to bed at 10
- everyone:omg thats so cool
- middle school:I went to bed at 10
- everyone:wow loser
- high school:I went to bed at 10
- everyone:omg luckyyyy
- college:I went to bed at 10
- everyone:is that even possible
and this was my friend LOLOLOLOLOL
I'm not much of a blogger on tumblr but I'm bored!
I've just gone through my diary that I started writing back in 2006. It's been 6 years since I've had this diary and it's just so crazy to see the way how I felt, the way how I viewed the world and how things have changed. The things I went through back then are nothing greater than what I face now and I find it just so crazy! In a way, I feel hella stupid just because I know that it was a big ass deal to me at the time. But that's how it's like with all diaries. Lol oh dear.
Ughh I've been going through so much lately, it just feels like these days are getting slower and slower. I don't know what to do with my free time. I don't know what to do at all! I'm not ready for school and I'm too broke to do anything fun. There's nothing on TV and ughh IDK. Well one project that I am doing right now is my room. I've had these pictures hung up for SOOOO long that half the pictures up there are faces of strangers. So this room is starting over. One wall is COMPLETELY FULL with pictures of beautiful people and that's as far as it gets for now. But as for everything else, it's just so empty….
For the past couple of days, my brother and I have been caught up in watching DCOMs (Disney Channel Original Movies). LOL. But honestly, those original movies really did have originality. I don't know what it is anymore that the media is lacking but I honestly think Disney should air those ORIGINAL movies and shows like Cheetah Girls, Jumping Ship, The Other Me, Rip Girls, Quints, The Poof Point, and so on.
Lalala, I'm bored and I'm freaking out about my classes. Tomorrow's registration and there's NOTHING left. D: I'm not trying to waste my time with crappy teachers because this semester, I'm just not down for it. I'm ready to take it slow and have fun. trololol.
Hmmmm. So I've been soooooo obsessed with Titanic and Leo and Kate Winslet it's scary. Somewhere in my mind, they BELONG TOGETHER. Their friendship is inspiring and just makes me so envious! I want to one day meet them and make a cameo in their future films regardless if they're both in the film or not. Can't wait to see them in 3D! ahaha
Ouu, so I posted a while back about that blk. water. Guess who found it?! Not me, but Jayj! LOL So he got it for me and now I'm too scared to drink it. It looks like dirt. Or flat pepsi or something. But it's okay because I have until August to drink it. :D
I went shopping the other day right. I got this $80 jacket for $30. Beautiful steal.
Well I meant to make it meaningful but I'm sleepy. A bit of nostalgia and random shtuff, huh?
I'm at that point in my life where I'm stuck. I'm stuck with not knowing what to do with anything that I'm currently doing… if that makes ANY sense.
I want to take on new challenges.. I want to travel. I want to be creative. I made a bucket list not too long ago and I would really want to get started on it. I've always been one to keep Carpe Diem in mind and lately, I've been doing a very bad job at it.
It's not about me not knowing what I want to do or whatever because I know what I want to do. It's just that I just don't know how to get it started. It's a sucky feeling but as the saying goes, this too shall pass.

Yep,and I am a registered Republican. Reagan, please come back. Carter or Reagan? Easy choice. Carter.....useless. Obama v Kennedy? Obama is useless. Can anyone,seriously make a comparison between Obama and Kennedy? Obama is a joke compared to Kennedy. The ONLY thing they have in common is a "D" next to their name. This country is going in the debt toilet and people still vote for Obama. Who do they think is going to have to pay this 6.5 trillion increase in debt Obama has given this country over the past 4 years. He hasn't worked,his politics haven't worked and people think unemployment is getting better? Really? Gas prices are double what they were 4 years ago. His foreign policy is absurd. Benghazi anyone? Gitmo still open.....that was a priority when he was running for office. Russia.....can't really do anything until AFTER the election, he whispers to Putin. Bows down to a MUSLIM leader. Sad.Bet my next paycheck Kennedy wouldn't have done that.
Gas prices are double, please. When Bushie was campaigning in 2000 he said if the prices went up he would jaw bone with the Arabs cause he was an oil man. It never happened, it went up again and again and was well over three dollars. It came down when Bushie's economy crashed and Americans weren't going anywhere driving prices down when the demand tanked. How soon we forget history or make it up to suit our purposes.

Indiana State's men's basketball team has 14 players on its roster. Of those, only five have never played a game for the Sycamores.
One is Demetrius Moore, who has junior college experience at Northwest Florida State, and who will be a contributor this season.
There's also Mike Samuels, who also had a juco background and who spent a year with the Sycamores after sitting out the 2012-13 season with a broken foot. Freshman T.J. Bell is another, but he also has a season's worth of practice under his belt at ISU, as he sat out last season as a redshirt.
That leaves true freshmen Alex Etherington and Brenton Scott as the only two true neophytes to the world of college basketball on the ISU roster.
Etherington, a 6-foot-5 swingman from Cicero, and Scott, a 6-1 point guard from Fort Wayne, have a somewhat enviable situation of being able to ease their way into action as they join a veteran team.
Did I say enviable? That situation turns on its head when Etherington and Scott have to get used to pace of ISU's practices and the standard ISU's veterans are trying to set this season as they have a realistic chance to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
"It's been a learning experience," Etherington said. "It's obviously a lot harder than high school. The pace is a lot different and I'm getting used to that. Coach [Greg Lansing] wants to run a lot, so we've been going up and down a lot. It's getting me in shape."
For Scott, the learning curve includes the trappings of his position at the point. Not only does he have to get used to everything as anyone else does, but he has to learn the system inside and out to make it as a floor leader.
"The speed is a little different. Everybody can play now. The reads are a lot different, you have to make quicker decisions, but everything for me right now is fine," Scott said. "I feel like I'm fitting in. I'm learning the system and I'm learning everything coach Lansing wants me to learn. I'm trying to be really professional about everything. I think I'm making a good adjustment."
Lansing noted that both players have had their eyes opened to the advances they need to make as players to succeed at the Division I level.
"Both of these guys have worked hard on the court, off the court and in the weight room, but even though they were here this summer, it was overwhelming a little bit. You could see it in their eyes at times as to how hard this group works and how hard you have to compete," said Lansing, who noted that both players have been coachable and haven't been afraid to mix it up with veteran teammates.
The upside of Etherington and Scott is significant. Etherington averaged 18 points per game at Hamilton Heights High School and can give the Sycamores athleticism and a shooting threat. Scott teamed with his Purdue-bound twin brother, Bryson, to make Fort Wayne Northrop a northeast Indiana power. Scott was a double-figure scorer throughout his Northrop career and was particularly adept at forcing steals on the defensive side.
Each player cited a veteran teammate as a mentor. Etherington said he's worked well with sophomore swingman Khristian Smith. The obvious mentor for Scott is senior point guard Jake Odum.
"They want me to be a leader, but you have to be a follower first," Scott said. "Right now, I'm following in Jake's footsteps to see how he does it. I'm not trying to put any pressure on myself, I'm just trying to learn. He's taught me a lot. He's pushed me, and I'm pushing myself to be a better point guard."
Since 2007, ISU has gone the redshirt route with most of its true freshmen. With two weeks to go before the season starts, it's a decision that still hasn't been seriously discussed or finalized. Scott said that he wouldn't redshirt this season. Etherington was more open to it.
"It's definitely a possibility. We haven't talked about it much. We're going to see how practice goes and see where I am when the season starts," Etherington said.
The reality is that playing time is going to be difficult for either freshman to earn given the veterans in front of them. It's something that Lansing takes into account when he asks true freshmen whether they want to redshirt.
"We have a lot of guys back and guys who didn't play as much last year fighting for playing minutes. These guys have been trying to concentrate and get better every day learning our system," Lansing said. "You have to make decisions as to whether anyone wants to redshirt or not. We always leave that up to the kids and their families. No matter what, they're good players, and they'll be good for our future."

Zurek, one of ISU's best defenders, also working hard off the court
Winning basketball teams need glue players, the term sometimes used when referring to someone who helps hold it all together.
In some cases, that means getting the ball in the right place at the right time. Or having a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
It's more often than not coming away with a loose ball on the court. It's deflecting so many passes that you become the player that most annoys the opponent.
For Indiana State, that's Natasha Zurek. The junior athletic training major was inserted into the starting lineup for the past two games.
Zurek leads the Sycamores with 16 steals through six games, which isn't surprising to anyone on the team. -
Swift excels for ISU track in EIU Early Bird indoor track meet
The Indiana State men's track and field team won the Eastern Illinois Early Bird meet by scoring 133 points.
Eastern Illinois placed second with 111 and Illinois State was third with 70.
The Sycamores started off the meet strong with wins in the mile run and 60-meter hurdles.
Freshman David Timlin won the mile, leading from the gun in a time of 4:15.20. In the hurdles, senior Greggmar Swift led a dominating performance by the Sycamores as they took the top four places in the event. Swift won the race in 7.74 seconds. -
EIU might come at right time for ISU
Sometimes an opponent lines up just right on the schedule that suits a team's needs.
That's true for Indiana State as it travels to play Eastern Illinois at 8 p.m. today at Lantz Arena. And it's not because the Panthers have struggled, even though they have. -

From The Press Box: If ISU figures out defense, look out
The Great Alaska Shootout is not going to provide the Great RPI Bump that Indiana State's participation in last year's Diamond Head Classic provided.
Indiana State holds off hot-shooting Pepperdine
Indiana State's men's basketball team is very much a work in progress defensively. Evidence of that came Saturday when Pepperdine shot 57.8 percent against the Sycamores in the fourth-place game of the Great Alaska Shootout.
But when it came down to winning time? Pepperdine's Waves crashed on the rocks of ISU's defense. -
Sycamores outpace Seawolves
Indiana State wanted a better defensive effort in its Great Alaska Shootout consolation semifinal game against host Alaska-Anchorage on Friday, but the Seawolves weren't going to give the Sycamores an orthodox offense to assess themselves with.
Humbled Sycamores want to make amends
The disappointment undeniably exists, but the bottom line for Indiana State's men's basketball team is there's nothing that can be done about its 63-62 loss to Tulsa late Wednesday night.
But the Sycamores want to remember it. They want to let the bad feeling they had simmer, but turn into something positive. -
Uneven Sycamores fall 63-62 to Tulsa
Indiana State loses to Tulsa 63-62 in opening game of Great Alaska Shootout
Tulsa's switching defenses confounded Sycamores
Tulsa paid Indiana State the respect they feel the Sycamores earned with a 3-1 start and a win at Notre Dame on Nov. 17.
So the Golden Hurricane threw multiple defenses at the Sycamores. -
On target: Sycamores spreading the wealth with their shooting
Indiana State's men's basketball team did many things right during the 2012-13 season, but one thing it couldn't get a handle on was its 3-point shooting. The Sycamores shot 32.1 percent from 3-point range, ranked 252nd in the nation. It was going to take a lot of work to improve ISU's percentage. So far, hard work has had its own reward.

Former Terre Haute North standout Matt O'Leary is hoping to help Loyola Chicago coach Porter Moser turn the program into a new chapter of success in a new conference.
ISU wants to take Hawaii spirit to Alaska
Since Greg Lansing took over as Indiana State's men's basketball coach, the Sycamores have seen their frequent flier and hotel points skyrocket.
After a decade or so prior in which the Sycamores mostly stayed in the Midwest to play tournaments, if they played them at all, holiday trips to Florida and Hawaii were on the docket during the last two seasons. -
Sanford vows to get ISU football back on track
Indiana State football coach Mike Sanford said that the Sycamores' just-concluded 1-11 season was a learning experience for everyone.
Free throws seal win for ISU women in 20-point comeback
Two free throws by Lashonda Littleton with 1.7 seconds left Sunday enabled visiting Indiana State to overcome a deficit that was 20 points at one time and earn a 68-67 nonconference women's basketball victory at Marshall.
METRO/PREP ROUNDUP: ISU volleyball barely misses MVC tournament
A 15-13 loss in the decisive fifth set at Southern Illinois late Saturday ended the Indiana State volleyball season one victory short of the Missouri Valley Conference postseason tournament.
ISU puts up fight, but can't hold off SIU in football
Indiana State's football team had nothing to play for aside from pride in its finale Saturday against Southern Illinois. The Sycamores also had an injury list that made it difficult to cobble together a starting unit at all.
Given the circumstances, ISU put up a very good fight against the playoff-hopeful Salukis, but the task was too much for the Sycamores as they fell 31-9 at Memorial Stadium. -
ISU women play today at Marshall
The Indiana State women's basketball players put their hands together at the end of practice Thursday, shouting a collective "do work."
On the heels of a 90-74 loss at Stetson, the Missouri Valley Conference preseason favorites are 2-2 and not content with losing, especially when giving up 90 points. -
Weather forced move of start line at NCAA
Indiana State coach John McNichols made the decision early Saturday morning to move the starting line up about 100 meters. The reason was to ensure every team in the NCAA Cross Country Championships would have a fair start. Sticking one team directly in front of a large puddle of standing water and another in front of a relatively dry area would not have provided fair conditions.
ISU defeats Truman
What do you expect when a Division II team pays a visit to a Division I arena?
In Truman State's case, you can expect a pretty good showing. Indiana State had some nervous moments against the Bulldogs, but the Sycamores prevailed 80-69 on Friday at Hulman Center. -
ISU football closes out season against SIU
Indiana State's football team had its last practice of the 2013 season Thursday and it had a jovial climax.
Favorites look to win at NCAA cross country championships
Two consensus thoughts prevailed in the hunt for the NCAA cross country individual championships: Kenyan Kennedy Kithuka of Texas Tech is the heavy favorite to repeat as men's 10,000-meter champion and Dartmouth senior Abbey D'Agostino, last year's runner-up, will be tough to stop from winning the women's 6,000-meter race.
ISU's Underwood family affected by Illinois tornado
Indiana State defensive end Connor Underwood can be forgiven if football wasn't the biggest thing on his mind this week as the team prepared for its season finale against Southern Illinois today.
New officiating edict could help ISU's Odum
For ISU, one player immediately comes to mind as far as who might benefit most from the new rules -- senior point guard Jake Odum.
Gant looms large in ISU's 2013-14 improvement
It's no overstatement that as Justin Gant went in the 2012-13 season, so did the Indiana State's men's basketball team.
- ISU women have options in the post
John Mascari's sights set high in NCAA cross country championships
Big John is in the big show for the second straight year.
This time, Terre Haute's own John Mascari, an Indiana State sophomore, has his sights on an All-American finish Saturday on the course he grew up racing as a prep standout at Terre Haute North.
Mascari was 60th in the NCAA championships as a freshman at Louisville, and after last week's Great Lakes Region victory, he is confident he can crack the top 40 at LaVern Gibson Championship Course in front of hometown fans. -
ISU basketball hopes to continue free-throw accuracy
Taking — and then making — free throws have been important in basketball from the beginning, regardless of changes in offensive philosophy or rules. But when the NCAA mandated that officials consistently call contact fouls, everyone in the game knew that making free throws would take on even greater importance than usual this season.

Ds apparently had an episode at school (he is an Aspie) and instead of calling myself or DH, the secretary called the CO-ed bsc smil because they are friends. Well bsc smil sent DH a text that ds tried to kill himself at school.
Que me panicking, calling the school and them telling me someone would call me back. Um, bullshit. I flipped shit on the principal when he answered the phone on my second call and told him if someone didn't tell me what is going on myself, my lawyer and a news crew would be there shortly.
***mind you I'm not normally this psychotic but I'm thinking the worst about Ds as I'm getting monitored for blood pressure. The doc told me to calm down or I would be admitted. Not happening until I get answers obviously.***
Well the principal says he has no idea what is going on and if that happened he would know.
About 20 minutes later ds's teacher called and explained everything, including that she asked the secretary to call me to set up a meeting because of something ds said. Apparently he brought up to the substitue teacher yesterday that he told a student that has been brutally bullying the whole class to leave him alone because he could cause someone to want to take their own life with his behavior. Some how it got brought up to his teacher today and he had a melt down because he thought he was in trouble.
So now I have a meeting with his teacher and I plan on going and apologizing to the principal about my behavior and show him the text that bsc smil sent DH, that includes her saying the secretary called her instead of me. I honestly don't care if she loses her job because she fucked up and after I pick up ds this afternoon I have to check myself into the hospital per doctors orders because my blood pressure is so high. I told them I won't be able to calm down until I take care of all of this myself. DH is flipping out and is at a lawyer friend of his getting a c and d drawn up and seeing if there is anything else we can do.
What the hell is wrong with people? I honestly think smil would dance if something happened to myself or the baby.

Hmmm... How about crazy stories of ours from when our parents went BSC on the schools?
When I was 16, I was assaulted at school. I was in the lunchroom eating and a guy grabbed me in a double-chicken wing (grabbed at the elbows, arms pulled back--the chair I was in actually cracked from how much pressure was put on my shoulderblades) and another guy grabbed my boob while it was happening.
The school took an HOUR to call my parents. A fucking HOUR. And the principle knew my mom because he's a diabetic and she was a drug research coordinator for the Endocrinology practice he went to.
By the time they actually called my parents, the school day was almost DONE (so I'd been in the principal's office from about 11:30-1:25). When my parents got there, I was pretty sure the school was going to explode. My dad has a temper, especially when you fuck with me (so's my mom for that matter), and he was yelling and angry and red in the face.
My mother, however, when she is beyond pissed and into "I'm about to go nuclear" territory has a very level, very calm voice...it's almost soothing actually... but when you hear it, you want to shrivel up and die rather than hear what she has to say.
So there my parents are, pissed off that someone violated their daughter and that someone else had her in a double-chicken wing (which is an illegal wrestling move, btw).
The Vice Principal and Assistant Principal were the ones who'd be doling out punishment and the Vice Principal (a man) figured that taking out the student code of conduct and reading them the riot act was all that was necessary.
Fuck no.
My mother was down at the school the next day (she made an appt. with the principal) and she marched into his office and used her deadly calm, very scary voice to point out that the guy who had me in the double-chicken wing was over 6' tall and over 200lbs... I'm just under 5' tall and in high school, I was about 95lbs dripping wet from all the sports I did (all muscle, but still, small). Her exact words were "You know my daughter. You've SEEN my daughter. She's no bigger than a minute!"
After that, the one who grabbed my boob got suspended for 3 weeks and had to repeat his grade b/c he missed his standardized testing while suspended. The other one got ISS.
Oh, and the principal really was my "pal" after that incident. I'm pretty sure I could've asked for a personal parking spot and he'd have handed it right over lol. I was involved in Teen Court in high school and I was part of the Mock Trial team. We had a competition on a school day... your teachers were supposed to sign off on your grades and you couldn't go if you had anything less than a C in any class... and then the principal had to sign off on it giving permission for you to miss school.
He didn't even LOOK at my papers. I said, "I'm on the Teen Court Mock Trial team and there's a competition next Thursday..." "Oh here! Let me sign! Good luck!"... you'd have thought I was gonna kill him if he didn't comply or something.
I've noticed some people don't like my screenname. Well, I shave my legs with Occam's Razor.

Nurse observation during colonoscopy increases polyp detection: a randomized prospective study.
Am J Gastroenterol. 2013 Feb; 108(2):166-72
Aslanian HR, Shieh FK, Chan FW, Ciarleglio MM, Deng Y, Rogart JN, Jamidar PA, Siddiqui UD. Am J Gastroenterol. 2013 Feb; 108(2):166-72
This interesting randomized prospective study evaluated the potential to increase polyp detection rates with colonoscopy by incorporating endoscopy nurses in simultaneously evaluating the mucosa during withdrawal. The results of this trial demonstrate a significantly increased number of polyps detected, and a trend toward an increased adenoma detection rate. The beauty of this trial is that it incorporated nursing staff that are...

UNC@Work: The University of North Carolina:A 17 member system of engaged campusesApril 2013, Issue 22 |
Center for Design Innovation: A "Prototype" for the Future of Advanced Manufacturing in NC? An endoscope prototyped using CDI's 3D modeling and printing capabilities As North Carolina's proud manufacturing past evolves to an advanced manufacturing future, 3D printing is playing a key role, allowing designers to quickly turn ideas into products and prototypes— saving time, reducing costs and allowing for a range of customization that shows promise to revolutionize manufacturing in textiles, medical devices—and even human tissue. Many of North Carolina's businesses lack the technical expertise and equipment necessary to capitalize on this revolutionary technology. Fortunately, the Center for Design Innovation (CDI), a joint effort of Winston-Salem State University, UNC School of the Arts and Forsyth Technical Community College is there to help— using its 3D design and printing capabilities to support our state's businesses in saving money and innovating at the speed of the global economy. CDI has worked with 3D design and printing technology since it opened its doors in downtown Winston Salem in 2007— relying on students, community professionals, and faculty expertise to ensure that North Carolina's businesses have the support and talent they need to remain competitive. CDI has already made an impact, helping entrepreneurial firms, like Winston-Salem based OptiVia, an endoscope manufacturer, and global companies like Hanes Brands adapt to the new manufacturing environment. According to Carol Strohecker, Director of CDI, the ability to quickly and affordably create physical prototypes with 3D printers is critical to the innovation process— helping speed up the interval between the concept and production stage: "Talented industrial designers come in with things that look great on paper— only to print it out in the 3D printer, hold it, use it, and realize that they needed to make adjustments. 3D printing allows for quicker feedback at a fraction of the cost of commissioning a run using existing technologies like injection molding." CDI's work is part of a larger effort by the UNC system to do research, development and service in NC's resurgent manufacturing sector. Western Carolina's rapid prototyping center provides companies in western North Carolina opportunities to take advantage of similar design, prototyping and product improvement services. NC State's Industrial Extension Service helps businesses integrate "lean manufacturing" and other efficiency measures into their manufacturing process. In addition to helping existing manufacturers adapt, the work that CDI and its sister organizations are doing has helped equip entrepreneurial students with the skills they need to turn their ideas into products—and companies. One such student is Tunde Adeyemi, a 23-year-old Winston-Salem State University graduate and CEO of Phantom Works. Tunde learned 3D software modeling in his coursework in the art program at WSSU and through the hands-on experience he gained as a CDI intern—where he worked on numerous projects including building a prototype of the Winston-Salem Skyline, which is sold in stores across the city. In a recent interview with the Triad Business Journal, Adeyemi commented on how he sees 3D printing becoming an increasingly ubiquitous part of the manufacturing process across sectors: "We see this happening in many forms even to the point of printing skin and organs" referencing the specialized printers used at Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine. "I think this is something we'll see in many industries to the point where we'll take it for granted and it won't be a niche anymore." While CDI is a state institution located in the Triad, it sees itself as a community asset. "We aren't looking at barriers between the university, the community, and industry—we are looking at the needs that different people have, figuring out ways to create synergies and leverage strengths where we find them," Strohecker said. The UNC Board of Governors strategic plan, "Our Time, Our Future," challenges UNC to draw on the strengths of its students, researchers, communities and businesses to help make North Carolina a leader in advanced manufacturing – calling for the creation of a multi-campus consortium of university faculty researchers working on advanced manufacturing research and implementation as a supplement to the state's economic development activities. UNCP: A Model for Serving Those Who Serve UNC President Tom Ross and Lt. General Charles Clevland renew Memorandum of Agreement between the UNC System and US Army Special Operations Command on April 16th. Photo Courtesy of Raleigh News and Observer About 116,000 military personnel are stationed in North Carolina and are eligible for tuition assistance from the U.S. Department of Defense, presenting an important opportunity for UNC schools to serve men and women in uniform, during and after their military service. But veterans, active duty military and their families often have different needs than the "traditional" student population. They are generally older, have families, and must work around unpredictable deployment schedules, all of which require a different approach to course offerings and student support services. At UNC Pembroke, more than 8 percent of the student body is made up of veterans and active duty military—a proportion almost three times the national average. UNCP has become a leader in the UNC system's effort to educate the veterans, active duty service members, and their families. One thing that helps set UNCP apart is its Office of Veteran Services, headed by Mike Clawson, a former commander and helicopter pilot with the 101st Airborne. A veteran with 28 years of military experience, including multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Clawson arrived at UNCP in the fall semester of 2012. "When I first started, I thought my job was mainly to handle recruitment and make sure veterans could navigate the VA paperwork," Clawson said. "Since then I have realized that there is a lot more I can do." "If you have someone walk in with PTSD—that can affect a lot more than just class work—it's something that can affect your marriage, your relationship with you family and your job," he continued. "While I'm not a professional counselor or psychiatrist, I do my best to connect them to the resources that are out there on campus and in the community." Although veterans face different challenges than most students, they also bring unique strengths and perspectives that are valuable to the campus at large. "The leadership skills, technical skills and discipline that veterans have can be a real asset," Clawson said. "When veterans from the medical corps—who have learned how to save lives under fire—get to our nursing program, they are uniquely equipped to succeed and help those around them succeed." UNCP and other UNC schools are continuing to take steps to ensure that military training and experience on the battlefield can translate into credit in the classroom."Currently we have an agreement with Fayetteville Technical Community College where, after completing training, people from the Special Forces can complete 17 additional hours of community college coursework and count that as two years towards many of our four-year degree programs," Clawson said. Fayetteville State University, North Carolina State University and Western Carolina University also have a similar agreement with FTCC. Conversations are underway at campuses across the system to improve the transfer of military training to academic credit. UNCP's efforts to work with veterans and active duty military have not gone unnoticed. In March, UNCP reported that Military Advanced Education (MAE) named UNCP a military-friendly institution based on the areas of support, financial aid, culture and flexibility, including online course options. GI Jobs has also recognized UNCP for five consecutive years in the magazine's list of military-friendly colleges and universities. "We have made outreach to the military community a strategic priority," said Dr. Kenneth Kitts, UNCP's provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. "We welcome this news as validation of our efforts to meet the needs of those who have served their country so well." Further recommendations for improving the UNC-system's military-friendly reputation are outlined in the University's recently approved strategic plan. With a strong focus on military students, the plan calls for establishing academic advising centers at Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune, creating a culture of support for military-affiliated students, and establishing a fully online undergraduate degree with flexible delivery options that would be particularly beneficial military personnel and veterans. NC State Learning How to Grow Better Crops—From Outer Space Earlier this month, a FedEx truck pulled up to NC State's Centennial Campus carrying a single box. A pair of drivers had worked in shifts, pushing straight through the night on a 17-hour drive from the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Inside the cardboard, sealed with a bright red NASA sticker, was a deep-frozen capsule not much bigger than a fishing bucket. As Dr. Imara Perera and her research assistants began to unseal the lid, the two FedEx drivers hung around, curious to catch a glimpse of their unusual cargo, a cargo from outer space that could help NCSU understand how to help farmers in North Carolina grow better crops. Dr. Imara Perera and her research team Through thick layers of frost, they might have been able to see rows of tiny plants — each grown for just five days aboard the International Space Station before entering their deep freeze — that will help Dr. Perera and her team unlock the molecular secrets of plant signaling, the internal process through which plants defend against environmental stresses like drought and extreme temperatures. "We created transgenic plants where we tried to manipulate a particular signaling pathway," Dr. Perera said. "The idea would be that if a particular signaling molecule is important, and we introduced a gene to limit it, those plants might be somehow impaired in their ability to sense a microgravity environment and respond to it." Dr. Chris Brown, who helped design the plant signaling experiment and is now the UNC system's vice president for research and graduate education, said the long-term goal is a better understanding of how plants adapt to extreme conditions—helping create smarter crops that could save farmers billions of dollars in crop losses from droughts and temperature variability. "Experiments like these let us study some of the early changes that are part of the capacity for plants to respond to stressful environments," Dr. Brown said. "We won't be growing plants on earth in a microgravity environment, but we do grow plants in plenty of less-than-ideal conditions. If we can begin to understand how to manipulate these molecular pathways, we can understand how to make plants more adaptable." The NC State research was funded through a NASA grant and conducted in cooperation with the European Space Agency. Dr. Brown said these kinds of experiments take years of ground-based preparation, but are well worth the effort. Beyond the practical, agricultural, implications for consumers and industry, multi-national, multi-agency research like this helps the UNC system bring money in to the state while leveraging the expertise and equipment of researchers around the world. "Addressing the complex challenges we face with limited resources requires collaboration—across disciplines, agencies and nations," Dr. Brown said. Building this type of international cooperation aligns with UNC's recent strategic plan, which calls for the establishment of international "beachheads" in key areas to support student, faculty, staff, and institutional connections to innovators and institutions abroad. These relationships are designed to enhance the global "brand" of North Carolina and UNC, prepare students to succeed in the global economy and leverage our resources and expertise to solve some of the most pressing problems facing North Carolinians. Fact of the Month In Spring 2012, 6,589 students used GI Bill or other veteran or DOD benefits at UNC campuses. Want to get updates on UNC's work delivered to your inbox? |
