Hyde Park Forum Brings Alumni Back to Campus as Contest JudgesPosted Apr. 11, 2013
By Chloe Dong
As a tradition in the School of Communication Studies, the Hyde Park Forum Persuasive Speaking Contest was held on April 10 in the Kent State University Student Center Ballroom.
Nine students from a variety of academic majors enrolled in the school's Introduction to Human Communication course competed against each other to be named winner.
Matt Fredmonsky, magazine journalism alumnus, '06, and editor of Kent Patch.com; Ann Guariniello, Rhetoric and Communication, '91, and IS/IT technical coordinator, ComDoc; Suzanne Theisen, Stow Munroe Falls High School speech coach; Paul Haridakis, Ph.D., director of the School of Communication Studies; and Stan Wearden, Ph.D., dean of the College of Communication and Information, served as the competition's judges.
"We had our largest audience," said Jennifer McCullough, Ph.D., assistant professor and basic course director in the School of Communication Studies. "We invite alumni to judge the forum so that they have an opportunity to see what current students are doing and give them a chance to stay involved in the school. With hundreds of people attending the event, it is a good chance for alumni to see how excited and engaged our students are."
"I felt very honored to judge this competition as a proud alumna of the Kent State School of Communication Studies," Guariniello said. "I believe I was a good candidate to judge this competition because I have 20 years of work experience, which allows me to use what I have learned to help judge this competition."
Every student enrolled in Introduction to Human Communication during the 2012-2013 academic year was eligible for the competition. Contestants were determined by a committee that reviewed each of the submitted persuasive speech outlines of the hundreds of enrolled students.
"Each forum contestant was judged on his or her clarity in topic and purpose, the use of credible supporting materials, and use of a clear and logical organizational pattern," McCullough said. "Contestants also were judged on their use of language, vocal qualities, articulation, and use of nonverbal communication."
"Personally, I think what affects their scores the most are two things," Guariniello said. "One, were they prepared? Another, were they confident? They will have a hard time convincing a panel of judges anything without these two things."
Pearson Education, the world's leading education company, sponsored the 2013 Hyde Park Forum. It donated $1,500 in scholarship and event funds.
First place went to Lindsey Shook, special education major, who earned a $500 scholarship. Her topic was "Spread the word to end the word." Hallie Rasner, visual communication design major, took second place and a $300 scholarship with her speech titled "The Detrimental Effects of Reality Television on Society," while third place and a $100 scholarship went to Natalie DeGenova, broadcast journalism major, for her presentation "Celebrities above the law."
In addition to the scholarships, students gained valuable experience from participating in the contest."Students always benefit from competing in this competition," McCullough said. "Confidence in one's presentation skills is a major advantage. The Hyde Park Forum provides students with a unique opportunity to speak to a large audience of peers and an experienced panel of judges. The feedback competitors receive from the judges is a great way for students to learn from experts."
"I feel any opportunity like this is an excellent chance for a student to shine and show case his or her talents such as presentation skills and knowledge about the topic covered," Guariniello said. "Students should be able to learn to take constructive criticism on the feedback that is offered to them. They should also feel honored that they are part of this great event."
Other students who competed in this year's forum were:
- Cassandra Mejia, exploratory major – "Know the breed before you buy"
- John Stahl, finance major – "Space exploration"
- Lauren Nervo, early childhood education major – "Texting and Driving Could Lead to a Dead End"
- Rachel Morrell, communication studies major – "Adopt-A-Bull: Your New Best Friend"
- Taylor Heibertshausen, hospitality management major – "Raising Chickens: Becoming Healthy, Wealthy and Wise While Still Sleeping In"
- Amber Bucher, news major– "Honey Bees"

With today's hectic lifestyle and abundant responsibilities, it can be difficult to make time for health and self-care needs. But what better time to explore some self-care strategies than at the start of what for most people is a long weekend?
The idea of self care has been around for centuries, but it really gained a popular following in the 1980s, when it was employed in households, businesses and health care facilities. It has been proven that taking care of ourselves makes us better caretakers for others, whether children, parents or patients.
Self care is about choosing behaviors that balance the effects of emotional and physical stressors in our lives. This can involve exercising, eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep or practicing relaxation techniques, anything that cultivates a healthy mind and body. Here are some ways to make time for your own well-being:
This list of self-care strategies could go on and on. The most important thing is that we take care of ourselves, do what we enjoy the most and make the best use of our time. You must make yourself a priority to attain a better state of mental and physical well-being, and self-care gives you the knowledge and tools to improve the quality of your life.

There isn't one so I'll make a quick one.
That was a great first tv prelim fight. Glad the long islander came away with the W but how did that one judge score it 28-27? Did he give each guy a 10-8 round? I don't think I've ever seen that score before.

$#*! Snoop Lion Likes: Pics With Amanda Seyfried, Snooki, Peter Dinklage, and More!
While it's pretty normal for stars to take photos together — say, they meet at a club, or they're working in a studio together — some take it to a whole new level. Snoop Lion (nee Dogg) takes it to an extreme.
It seems like every time Snoop attends an event, he poses for pics like he's either a Comic-Con attendee or a little kid at Disneyland.
Not that there's anything wrong with that! It teaches us about what Snoop is into. For example, did you know that he's a Deadliest Catch fan and a Game of Thrones fan? He's a man of diverse tastes, which leads to lovely things like his duet with Miley Cyrus.
In honor of today's album release, we found some of Snoop's best fan photos. Click here to see what Snoop Lion likes!

EJ tells Nicole's secret to Eric, John taunts Kristen about Brady, and Kristen's meeting with Bishop White is interrupted.
Nicole finds EJ at the pub. "You outplayed the player." She's impressed, even if it is fleeting. She assumes he was planning it for a while. Nicole asks him to put a muzzle on Sami at the reception. EJ notes she's a real advocate for Father Eric. They change the topic and Nicole talks about Stefano consistently sabotaging EJ's efforts to bring him down. EJ will always be in Stefano's shadow. EJ disagrees but appreciates her concern. She's not concerned about him - just his kids. EJ holds her hand and assures her he has won. She hopes this is the case. The kids need him and Sami would lean on Eric and he has no time for that. EJ finds her concern for Eric interesting.
JJ opens a pair of shoes at home. Rory tells him to sell them on eBay. Abigail heads in and the guys tell her the shoes are Rory's early birthday present. Rory gives them space and Abby tells her brother that Jenn and Daniel took a break because of his behavior. JJ couldn't care less. Abby calls him selfish. Daniel's a great guy - even though he's not Jack. JJ thought she and their mother put Jack out of their minds. Abby's offended and hurt. She tears up and tells him she doesn't recognize him anymore and doesn't think their father would either.
At the hospital, Theresa doesn't hear Jennifer asking her to do her job since she's busy filing her nails and listening to tunes on her headphones. Jennifer orders her to get to work. Theresa isn't motivated. She doesn't want to waste her youth under fluorescent lights and implies Jennifer is wasting hers. Theresa considers quitting. Jenn thinks she's waiting to be fired so she can become the victim. It's not going to happen. Theresa really does need this job but asks for time to run to the post office to get Father Eric's gift from her mom.
Brady wanders the woods and recalls his father's words. "She was dead set on marrying you, kid." Daniel jogs up and Brady opens up about John confirming Kristen's story about being unable to go through with the seduction of his father because she loved Brady. Now, everything is 'ass-backwards'. "Maybe ass-backwards is the new sure." Daniel tries to give some advice and then talks about his non-existent love-life.
Kristen barks out a laugh at the new portrait of EJ and Samantha at the mansion.
Bishop White, Father Matt, the Monsignor, and Father Eric tour the new school. They're impressed with Eric's work. Bishop White receives Kristen's call requesting a chat. She stares at the sex video and makes a plan to meet him at the church. She copies the video and hits the road, bumping right into John on her doorstep. He warns her to stay away from his son but she doesn't take orders from him. He tells her he came clean with Brady about what went down during the seduction. They taunt each other and John has the last laugh before leaving. Kristen throws things around the room and tells herself to let it go. Brady will never forgive her.
Back at the school, Bishop White says after today, Father Eric's name will be on the map for his good work.
At the rectory, Theresa gives Father Eric Grandpa Shawn's bible from Kimberly. Theresa says what he has done is impressive. Eric's touched. He asks her to the reception but church isn't her thing. Her parents sent her there to spend time with family but she feels judged. Eric hugs her. He's glad she's in Salem. It's awkward. She hurries off, fingering a joint on the way out. Daniel arrives to ask permission to keep working on his illness and later, EJ arrives with a donation for the school from Sami, and intimates that Nicole's in love with Father Eric.
Jenn arrives home to get her MP3 player to use while jogging on her lunch. She notices JJ's new shoes. He tells her they're Rory's. She threatens to confirm that with Rory's mom. She leaves and JJ calls Rory and then later receives a call from Theresa. "I just smoked my last joint. Can you come down with a fat one for me?"
Brady fantasizes about Kristen at home.
Kristen meets Bishop White at St. Luke's Academy. He's surprised to hear the future of the school is at stake. The Monsignor interrupts then and Brady walks up.
As Jennifer jogs by the lake, she smiles as she sees Daniel putting water wings on Parker.
Abby arrives to Jenn's office and smells weed. She confronts Theresa just as JJ arrives.

text: Guerlain Orgueil Rouge G L'Extrait ($48.00 for 0.20 oz.) is described as a "plum." What a pedestrian description! This shade is so much more complex. It's a rich, deepened scarlet red with ruby red micro-shimmer. There's just a hint of berry in the overall color, especially from afar. While it is not a dupe, it's a cooler-toned, more berry-hued version of Chanel Dragon. MAC Good to Be Bad is browner and has no shimmer. MAC What a Joy! is more berry-hued. Guerlain Gigolo is deeper, darker, but it is rather close.

Topic: Premiership picks 29-1
- Saturday -
Sunderland - Bolton
Sunderland: 2-0-4
Bolton: 3-0-3
Sunderland have weak form both home and away. But I believe they can win this game at home. But probably the best pick on this one is on a bit few goals.
Less than 2.5 goals.
Middlesbrough - Newcastle
Middlesbrough: 2-3-1
Newcastle: 2-2-2
A North Eastern derby clash this one. I believe in t tough battle against two teams who have shown ok form recently.
Less than 2.5 goals.
Wigan - West Brom
West Brom: 0-1-5
If Wigan want to avoid the fight to avoid relegation this season they will have to beat West Brom, who are struggling at the bottom with very poor form.
Wigan to win.
Stoke - Hull
stoke: 3-1-2
Hull: 1-2-3
After a very good start to the season Hull have disappointed in their recent games. I do not believe it will get any better after this game.
Stok to win.
Aston Villa - Fulham
Aston Villa: 3-1-2
Fulham: 3-2-1
Fulham are very strong at home but they have not impressed me on travel. Aston Villa managed a strong draw at home to Manchester United in their last game, but they should win this one.
Aston Villa to win with 0-1 handicap.
- Sunday -
Manchester City - Manchester United
Manchester City: 2-1-3
Manchester United: 3-2-1
City have just ok form but this is a derby clash, anything can happen. But after going two games without a goal I believe United will get a few goals in this one, so my pick will be on the amount of goals.
More than 2.5 goals and Dimitar Berbatov to score (if he starts the game).
Portsmouth - Blackburn
Portsmouth: 1-3-2
Blackburn: 0-2-4
Pretty poor form on both teams. Pompey have failed to impress after Harry Redknapp was replaced by Tony Adams as manager at the club.
Tottenham - Everton
Tottenham: 4-1-1
Everton: 3-2-1
Both teams have impressive form. Spurs are in super form after Harry Redknapp took over as boss at the club. But I expect Everton to put up a good fight in this one.
Tottenham to win and Frazier Campbell to score.
Chelsea - Arsenal
Chelsea: 4-1-1
Arsenal: 2-1-3
London derby between a side in good form and a side with poor form and internal problems. But do not expect Arsenal to lose this game. They are often very good against the best teams around.
- Monday -
Liverpool - West Ham
Liverpool: 4-1-1
West Ham: 1-2-3
Despite winning, Liverpool have failed to impress me in their recent games. Several lucky wins and 1-0 wins etc. I am still not convinced that they have a chance of winning the title this season. Could be a close one at good odds.

I spent hours looking at admixture results for our DNA testing. For someone who literally dreams about maps, vectors and migration patterns (not normal I know, but I really don't have much control over my dreams) it's been fascinating. I've always seen traces of central Asia in my grandmother's face, a slight oriental cast to her eyes. While my father's family has been firmly planted in the shadows of the Carpathian Mountains as far back as we can trace them, that's no more than 200 years. It's clear from the DNA tests that somewhere in the previous 10,000 years or so his ancestors (MY ancestors) were tromping across Asia. While 75% of his DNA reads as European in the latest admixture test, 25% is a mix of Middle Eastern, Asian and North African. Forget finding Charlemagne. I'm hunting Ghengis Khan! And one note to my descendants - all that DNA you think might be Indian comes from your European Grandfather, NOT your Colonial American Grandmother.
Switching gears, I searched GenealogyBank.com for Meredith information and found some information about a John & Thomas Meredith who were merchants in Easton, MD in the early 19th c. I would very much like rule these guys in or out as my John & Thomas Meredith but it's not clear yet.
Finally, I'm assembling some information on my grandmother Anna Pereksta's family for a new-found cousin and am, of course, obsessing over what I don't know or haven't well documented. He's more interested in what I do know and that's what I need to focus on. HOWEVER, during my one (ok, there were four of five) last check on FamilySearch I found a fascinating record.
I mentioned in an earlier post about the Perekstas that my aunt knew a family in Binghamton, NY where the first husband had been George Pereksta. He was a cousin of some sort, was working as a miner in Vermont when he was killed in a mining accident. I did not mention that his wife was named Susie and that they had a daughter Katherine before he died.
Today someone new, Katie Perkesta born 1905 in New York, showed up on my screen. Since I thought I'd found every possible Pereksta in the US after 1900 I was startled. Katie was enumerated in the 1905 New York State Census which can now be viewed. I viewed.
|From FamilySearch.org
Katie was listed as the 5 month old daughter of Mike and Susie Pereksta both born in Austria (the Empire, not today's nation). Just as I was beginning to remember a Susie with daughter Katherine I saw Mike's occupation. Slate quarryman. The bells went off! That's awfully close to a miner. Then I looked up Granville on a map. It's awfully close to Vermont! I went back to my notes from my aunt and saw George, not Mike, staring up from the page.
|From Google Maps
I don't have an immigration record that fits for this Mike or Susie. It's not clear whether they were married in the United States or if Mike went back to Europe to marry. I don't know where Mike died. There were plenty of slate quarries in Vermont and NY and apparently many accidents and deaths. He likely died shortly after the 1905 census, since Susie's next daughter, who was reportedly not his child, was born about 1907/1908. Immigration, marriage, birth, death records - lots to do!

Danbury continues rebuilding process
By Yaneek Smith
Sports Editor
Over the past few seasons, the Danbury football program has made progress.
The Lakers have gone from wondering whether or not they would even be able to have a program to becoming consistently competitive to in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference.
Needless to say, it won't be easy to take that next step.
Gone from last year is TAAC Defensive Player of the Year Lucas Kennedy, who is set to play football this fall at Baldwin Wallace College. The defensive back had 101 tackles, four interceptions and four fumble recoveries. Kennedy also earned first-team league honors for his play at quarterback, doing damage with both his arm and his legs as he threw for 1621 yards and 11 touchdowns and ran for 1266 yards and 15 scores.
The Lakers also lost standout players Ben Adams (OL/LB) and Justin Tester (OL/DL) Cory Schenk to graduation. In 2011, Schenk set the school record for receptions (62) and receiving yards (1087) in a single season.
Taking over for Kennedy under center is senior Zach Kalinoski, who has previously seen time at quarterback, wide receiver and even center. While faced with the task of replacing one of the best players in school history, head coach Bryan Dudash is confident that Kalinoski can do a sufficient job of replacing the production left by Kennedy's graduation. (Former head coach Tim Heffernan is staying on as an assistant.)
"(Kalinoski) throws a nice football, he throws accurately — he's got a pretty good arm," said Dudash, who served as the team's offensive coordinator for the past two seasons. "I think he throws the ball a little better than Lucas, but doesn't run it as well. I think he was 17-of-28 for 160 yards passing in our last scrimmage. He's done some nice things for us."
Wide receiver Brandon Bahnsen returns after missing the last five games of the season with a back injury. Aside from Bahnsen, the Lakers lost all of their starting receivers to graduation and must replace, according to Dudash, approximately 90% of their offensive production from '11. Cody German, who will split time between running back and wide receiver is expected to see an increased load.
"We expect him to get 20-25 touches per game," Dudash said.
Passing the ball is what the Lakers do. They like to run a lot of four-wide receiver sets and focus on a short passing game that gives their receivers a chance to make plays in the open fields. And, while they don't run many plays, they do use a variety of formations to confuse the defense.
Defensively, Dudash sees the defensive line as being one of the team's strengths. Austin Morin will be the primary run stopper and Cooper Eller and John McClellan will rush from the edge. Taylor Molnar is taking over at middle linebacker and fills the void left by Adams.

Apple and Samsung move from love/hate to hate/hate
Apple seems to be moving to reduce its reliance on Samsung for the manufacture of the A-series processors found in iOS devices, and are possibly planning a move to another company for the production of future chips. While Apple and Samsung have been at odds in the smartphone market, they've remained close partners in manufacturing. The increasing rivalry between the two companies when it comes to the former is cited as the reason for their deteriorating relationship when it comes to the latter. The The Korea Times reports that love-hate might be turning into pure hate.
According to industry sources, Apple has not collaborated with Samsung in the process to develop its A6 microprocessor used in its latest iPhone 5. Samsung has handled the manufacturing of the processors used in previous iPhones and believed to have contributed in their design to some degree.
Apple is still relying on the Korean firm to manufacture its chips but has made it clear it will no longer use its rival's technology, according to a senior Samsung official.
In addition to several lawsuits, Apple has hired a senior Samsung chip designer away from the company at a crucial time when both companies are intensifying their chip design efforts. The hire further drove the wedge between the two companies. A split makes the most sense for Apple, who undoubtedly loathes using a rival as the manufacurer of the brain of their most important devices and is bringing an increasing amount of chip design in-house. Samsung, on the other hand, stands only to lose the multibillion-dollar Apple contract if and when Apple makes the transition away from Samsung for new chip production.

Apple and Samsung move from love/hate to hate/hate
If TSMC can output chips with their 20nm process to match demand, then we have a winner. I think, just like maps, this is a necessary move for Apple. Despite the over-blown bad press iOS maps received, I believe it's a vast overall improvement over Google maps. Continued improvements will make into a solid product.
not sure it's "necessary." moving to away from google that is. I like google stuff. I don't get any better experience. If they eventually do then great but i don't consider things like flyover an upgrade as it's not usefull in real life.
And i care very little about maps but the navigation program is not better then waz a free offereing. it kills your battery in less than 1 hour. Has very few feature of a full navigation client. I get that apple wants it. but as a consumer it's not currently a positive or an upgrade.
Which takes you around in circles depending on where you live...
I only "really" used the iOS maps app for actual navigation the first time this past weekend. I was blown away by how much better it was than Google maps. I love how you can rotate and tilt the point of view of the map with two fingers and you can use it in landscape or portrait mode. The navigation system worked perfectly. I'm loving it.

Brandenburg - the destination all around Berlin offers
Brandenburg is renowned as the state of nature, water and cultural heritage. The region is full of palaces and parks, stately homes and gardens. Amongst them is the most famous Palace of Sanssouci. The picturesque castle with its fountains and vineyard terraces is part of Europe's most significant and extensive park areas that it also hosts the Neue Palais, which is the last large castle complex in Prussian baroque style. Throughout the year, the cultural heritage is highlighted with concerts and performances such as the Potsdam Schlössernacht (night of castles).
The person who designed Sanssouci castle was no one less than Prussian king Frederick the Great himself who would have turned 300 years of age in 2012. Frederick was the happiest during his newlywed life at the castle in Rheinsberg, an imposing town surrounded by lakes of the Ruppin region. If you are interested in the European history Brandenburg will not disappoint you: there are many stunning places ranging from royal palaces, gothic churches and monasteries, to GDR-heritage and industrial culture.
Apart of the palaces and gardens film-making has a long tradition in Brandenburg's capital. It started in the 1920s when great movie stars like Marlene Dietrich produced movies here in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Today, national and international productions such as Inglourious Basterds by Tarantino are shot in Europe's oldest film complex.
As Brandenburg is renowned for its access to open landscape and to water, outdoor activities enjoy a great reputation. Anyone who wants to explore the state by bicycle can choose between ca. 7,000 kilometers of cycle paths along rivers like Havel, Oder, and Spree or through forests: all the routes can be planned to suit personal preferences, physical fitness and time. The topography is ideal for cyclists: Brandenburg mainly offers flat countryside, a number of idyllic nature reserves and a multitude of lakes and rivers. Famous paths include Berlin to Copenhagen, which connects the two capitals (www.bike-berlin.copenhagen.com) and the Oder-Neiße path where Europe's latest meadow landscape awaits you. www.oderneisse-radweg.de
Finally, anyone who would like to combine two activities at a time has a smooth run on the "Fläming-Skate". The wonderfully asphalted Fläming inline skating path leading through "Baruth Urstromtal" and "Niederer Fläming" (the Lower Fläming) is 100km in length and 3m in width offering cyclists and skaters best conditions for intense legwork. www.flaeming-skate.de
The fascinating waterways of the Spreewald have ceased to be the exclusive preserve of canoeists. A must for every visitor is a punt trip through the idyllic Spreewald or "Venice of Brandenburg": an atmospheric and secretive labyrinth consisting of thousands of small and larger waterways. Sailing enthusiasts feel perfectly at home on the Scharmützelsee at the traditional spa resort of Bad Saarow. Houseboat fans can travel several hundred kilometres without any need for a driving licence. www.brandenburg-tourism.com

50 Ways Not To Leave Your Agent ... or, How To Have a Bad Breakup
Under-communicate. Don't talk to her about any concerns you have; instead, the breakup should come as a total surprise to her. If you have luck on your side, you may let her know on the same day that she gets an offer for your manuscript from a publisher. For the coup de grace, hire another agent before you fire her.
Make a new plan, Stan
Over-communicate. Send the agent partial first drafts so that she can see your writing before it puts on its makeup in the morning. Send threats, rants, and complaints directly to your publisher, without telling your agent first, so that you look like an unstable mess and she looks like she has no idea what her authors are up to.
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Have little concept of personal boundaries. Call her on her cell phone, crying, in the middle of the night. Talk to her about every problem you've ever had. Let her know how dysfunctional your family relationships are, and then tell her she's like a sister to you.
Hop on the bus, Gus
Once she's sold several books for you, fire her. After all, now you know the editors, so what do you need an agent for? Alternatively, while she's still your agent, go behind her back and sell books without her, and without ever talking to her about it. She's just a stepping stone, so step on her.
Just drop off the key, Lee
After she's fired, ask that her name be removed from your finalized contract so that she won't get her share of the royalties. (It won't work, but go ahead and try it. She won't be upset at all.) Then go on discussion boards and say nasty things about her. A classy agent can't and won't do this in return, so you're safe saying pretty much anything.
I know my readers are too smart and too kind to do any of these things. But it's still useful to know that they happen; that these are the treacherous seas that agents have to navigate. As true as it is that there are not-so-good agents who serve their clients poorly, there are plenty of wonderful agents who get bitten badly for their trouble. I know the publishing industry can seem brutal, callous, and cruel. Just remember that you don't have to be.

Reading that is like reading those absurd "warning" labels on products (like "remove cover before using razor" or "do not spray poison toward face")
They sound so obvious that you can't see anyone actually doing them, but at the same time, you know that someone, somewhere DID, or else there wouldn't be a warning.
With all the time and effort that goes into catching an agent's interest, you'd think that (except in the case of a total scammer who does nothing) a writer would be more tactful once they have it.

My agent and I had a marvellous breakup, not that I wanted it to happen at all. She even invited me to query her again in future if I didn't find new representation.
So thank you to all publishing professionals who blog with an eye toward helping us writers understand their side of the equation. When things went belly-up with my agent, I knew how to behave and as a result, there's a door still open to me that might have been shut.

What a well-time post, since my agent terminated our relationship on the same day you posted this.
But one of the inequalities in the agent/writer relationship is that she was signing other clients, requesting fulls, reading queries the whole time that I was with her. I expect that, of course. But agents are able to replace their clients before they fire them, but not writers.
- January 6, 2011 at 10:18 AM

Great song lyrics, and great post! Consider this newbie educated on the finer points of an agent/writer
break-up. Let's hope that I never have to use this advice, though.

Yikes. So sad, but it's also agent beware out there.
- January 8, 2011 at 4:15 PM
I'm late late to this post but just once I'd like someone to tell agents how to break up with authors. So, here, I'll do it:
- don't ignore your client's latest ms for eight months, pretending you are "getting to it" as soon as you find a minute. You're not "getting to it," you don't give a shit about it.
- don't make edit suggestions when you haven't read the ms. Yes, this happens. You don't want to do this because, A) she might DO them, and then the ms will suck. Or B) she will think you are a crazy bitch, hate your guts, wail to her writing friends that you don't give a crap about her work, and everyone will know you are stupid. If you find yourself not wanting to read a client's ms, it's probably because you don't want to be their agent. Why pretend? Why treat them shitty and wait for them to leave?
- don't tell your client write "something more high concept,commercial," when you signed her for a quiet novel, and she was careful to make sure you knew that is WHAT SHE WRITES. If you no longer wish to have an author that writes quiet books then fire her, instead of waiting for her to fail at writing something she hates only to have you tell her its not good enough to sub.
- don't let six months go by before you bother following up with editors on her ms. You either respect this client's work enough to follow up on subs or you don't. And if you don't, they should not be your client.
- don't ignore her emails when she's only trying to find out if her ms has been rejected or if it's even been sent out. Don't ignore her emails when she's only trying to follow up on YOUR timeline that YOU gave her. Don't ignore her emails, period. She will go tell all her writing friends that she HATES YOU. And you SUCK.
* if you find yourself doing these things it's usually because you don't want this client's work anymore. And guess what? That's okay. It happens all the time. But how you handle it makes you a professional or a bitch. So grow some balls. And TELL that clinet it's not working out. Why treat her shittily and wait for her to quit? TELL her so she can move on. She might not like it, but she will RESPECT it.
- January 10, 2011 at 12:32 PM
What a great post!
First time reader here, and I had to comment on this post. I've been thinking so much about blog posts for my business, and this post is genius! It's informative and helpful, of course, while also intelligent and funny. And then tying it all up in a song with such familiar lyrics and structure is so appealing. Really well done...

A couple of years from now, will you be zipping around between meetings on one of the new very light jets?

The Citation V/Ultra is perhaps the best example of Cessna's well-honed ability to continually evolve a time-tested airframe into a market-leading workhorse. Based on the wildly popular Citation II, which entered production in 1977, the Ultra adds a slightly stretched fuselage, a plush interior, a more efficient high-speed wing, more powerful engines and updated avionics.

If your car is less than 10 years old, there might be a little computer buried somewhere inside that records events.

In the years that I've written for Business Jet Traveler, I've discussed nearly everything that affects your choices as a charter user. There's at least one factor I haven't covered, though: the FBO or fixed-base operator, through whose lobby you pass to board your charter jet.

The fractional aircraft business is fascinating, in part because it is founded upon several myths, partial-truths and artificial constructs that are both pleasing for owners and profitable for providers. In many ways, fractional flying is more akin to using an executive airline than to owning a whole aircraft.

With new business jet delivery slots stretching out as far as 2015 and acquisition costs hitting the high side of $40 million, a growing number of buyers are foregoing factory-fresh models in favor of refurbished used airplanes at a fraction of the cost.

All takeoffs are optional but all landings are mandatory. It's one of those clever dark-humor catchphrases that permeate aviation and it speaks an unerring truth. Once you break ground and clear the security of the runway, you've left behind the one option that absolutely guarantees you will not have an airplane crash today.

Jets.com-an online charter broker that allows customers to bid on flights-has bestowed its latest Circle of Excellence awards on eight charter operators, based solely on surveys its customers complete after each flight. Survey criteria included condition and cleanliness of the aircraft, amenities, crew performance, luggage handling and flight readiness.

Having a 'Fangasm': Writer and cosplayer Molly McIsaac joins SyFy showWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
The look on her face in the photo is priceless.
The selfie that geek writer/cosplayer/speaker Molly McIsaac posted on her blog this past Aug. 12 speaks volumes about her excitement for her latest project. Her visage is literally beaming with joy, eyes cast to her left, as though she's just shared the best news in the world with all her friends. The paper she clutches has scrawled on it in enthusiastic handwriting, "I'm going to be on TV!!"
McIsaac is one of the seven cast members of the new SyFy series "Fangasm," which premiered Sept. 24. Anyone who knows McIsaac's work online, where she has carved out a niche for herself as an infectiously entertaining representative of geek culture, already knew that she was a perfect choice to join a group of fanboys and fangirls in a series where they all live together and share their pop culture passions. What few folks knew until she announced the news, though, was that being on a television show had been one of McIsaac's ambitions since childhood.
"The entire thing was such a long process — from auditioning to filming and now finally being able to announce it — that I feel like it's an integrated part of my personality at this point. However, it's still totally weird to step back and become self-aware enough to realize I have fulfilled my lifelong dream at age 24," McIsaac said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star.
"I worked my butt off to get here, but it's amazing to see all of that hard work come to fruition. I just feel really lucky, and half the time I'm on the brink of tears because I struggled so long and hard to get here. There were days when it all felt so pointless, yet here I am."
Geek of all trades
In a way, the path that led McIsaac to televisions nationwide has a feeling of inevitability now, given her other lifelong pursuits.
Being a fan of things in geek culture has been part of McIsaac's life nearly as long as she can remember.
"I think my father instilled a love of sci-fi and movies into me from an early age — we watched 'X-Files' together every Sunday throughout my childhood, and he showed me 'Aliens' and 'The Thing' at a very young age — much to my mother's chagrin," McIsaac said.
Her passions for all things geek were amplified by her isolated surroundings, she added. "As a home-schooled girl in the wilds of Alaska, geeky pursuits quickly became the main focus of my childhood. Characters in novels were my best friends, and I read with a voracious appetite.
"It's hard to pinpoint one geeky thing I was into. Sci-fi, fantasy, anime, comic books — they all had really special places in my heart. I like to describe myself as a 'geek of all trades,' and I think this rang true even at a young age."
Of course, until recently it's rarely been socially acceptable to admit to having such enthusiastic passions. Most every geek has tales of being ostracized for the things they love and how fervently they love them. McIsaac is no different — which, she said, makes her so happy to see society embracing geek culture in recent years.
"I was bullied mercilessly for being a geek in high school, so it makes me really happy to see it become socially acceptable, finally, and even 'cool,'" she said.
"I don't understand the mentality that a lot of the [geek] community has about it being some sort of exclusive club — we fought so long to be accepted and embraced for our passions and interests, and now that we have it we're rebelling against it? It's entirely silly. I hope that no young person with interests in the geekier pursuits of life will ever have to be bullied like I was just because of what they're into!"
Reality knocks
McIsaac had already established a reputation and fanbase online when the opportunity to audition for "Fangasm" came around. "I kind of always 'knew' that if/when a geek reality TV show popped up I would be perfect for it. I even had a Google alert set up with the keywords 'geek reality show.'
"So when a casting call popped up — two years ago — with a very vague description of 'Are you a geek? From the producers of "Jersey Shore" …' I jumped on it immediately. My intuition must have been right, because I was called back less than 24 hours after I submitted my essay questions, and two years later here I am!"
Still, Molly admits to having some misgivings about the project at first. Pop culture depictions of geek culture have not been entirely positive, even as public acceptance of fandom has grown. AMC's own geeky reality series "Comic Book Men" hasn't exactly painted the community in the most positive light, either.
"Reality TV is absolutely a craps shoot, and I was a little nervous going into filming that 'Fangasm' would end up exploiting geeks," she said. "However, the filming process was so incredibly positive and wonderful. There was no manufactured drama, and the cast and crew were some of the most pleasant people I've ever been around.
"I genuinely feel that SyFy is using 'Fangasm' as a platform to depict the complexities and intensity of the fan subculture — not to make fun of it or exploit it."
Filmed 24/7
Even for someone who has dreamt of being on television most of her life, the process of actually filming a show is far different than anything one can expect. McIsaac said the production, which took place in Los Angeles earlier this year, was "overwhelming. Mostly in a good way."
"I lived in a house with my six fellow cast members, and we were filmed 24/7 for six weeks. It doesn't matter how much you mentally prepare for that — it's a singularly unique and surreal experience. Waking up and running straight to the mic-ing station before I was allowed to talk to my roommates, not having the freedom of everyday life to just run to the grocery store," she said.
"But I really enjoyed it. The producers and crew were great people who made all of us feel at ease, and it was the most fun I've ever had in my life. I only hold fond memories from my time filming the show."
McIsaac said she became tremendously close with her fellow castmates, as well.
"I butted heads with a couple of the roommates — you'll have to watch to see who — but I came away feeling like I had gained a new, lifetime geek family," she said. "The girls and I were especially close — they were my support system throughout the whole thing and we jokingly referred to ourselves as the 'Triforce.' Most of the time we were one big, silly family, though at times I did feel a bit like the 'black sheep' merely because I'm very opinionated and not shy to voice my beliefs."
Equality in fandom
One of McIsaac's most passionate beliefs lies in the issue of sexism within the geek community. From the accusations toward "fake geek girls" to the exploitation of female cosplayers in convention settings, it can be a complicated and emotional time for women in fandom.
"The entire situation is very sad. Women who are outspoken, sexualize themselves or complain about male treatment are immediately attacked by the geek community at large. There's a lot of problems revolving around the 'cosplay is not consent' argument, and a few bad social tropes have made the less informed masses believe that geek girls are 'only faking it for attention' — which is of course completely ridiculous," she said.
"I'm really hoping that my involvement in 'Fangasm' will make the geek community re-think their stance on geeky women. Not that it's important, but the other two girls and I pretty much outgeeked the boy roommates — and we weren't doing that for attention or because we wanted a date — we are just that passionate.
"I think we just need to keep being loud about things. I'm hoping that all of the crap that has come up lately is just the final cries of a wounded animal — it has to get worse before it gets better. I, for one, will continue fighting for the rest of my life."
Spreading geek awareness
McIsaac said she hopes "Fangasm" will help people come to a better understanding about the culture of fandom — both non-geeks who don't understand, and geeks who still feel the need to be territorial and stand-offish about their passions.
"So far I've seen a lot of people in the geek community very mad about 'Fangasm' because they think it is going to exploit their special unique snowflake club," McIsaac said. "I am here to publicly state that this is not the case — we are all fellow geeks, and I hope the geek community accepts us with open arms and realizes that myself and my six other roommates are doing this to spread geek awareness to the masses.
"I want to prove that we're not all the 'comic book guy,' and dispel pop culture stereotypes that have been perpetuated by shows like 'The Big Bang Theory.' We're functioning members of society who just happen to love nerdy pursuits!"

Research Rocket - Australia, RTV1e, Second-Stage, circa 1954 (Sectioned) Reg. No: ST 35159
- Summary:
- The Research Test Vehicle (RTV) 1e was developed and tested at the Woomera Rocket Range in South Australia by Fairey Aviation. The RTV 1e was a two-stage liquid fuel rocket used for research and development into problems associated with beam riding missiles. It was fired at an angle of 35 degrees with a maximum altitude of about 12,000 feet. The RTV 1e was launched by seven solid booster rockets which had a burn time of four seconds, after which the liquid fuel sustainer motor took over. It was guided by radar.
The original design can be traced back to the 1944 Royal Navy specification for a guided anti-aircraft missile known as LOP/GAP. In 1947, the Royal Aircraft Establishment took over development work and the missile was renamed RTV1. Several versions of the basic RTV1 were developed with RTV1e being the beam guidance round. Radar guidance was provided by a SCR584 radar unit which projected a narrow beam. In Australia, The Fairey Aviation Company of Australiasia Pty Ltd was awarded a contract to build 40 RTV1e rockets. The first of which were completed in early 1954. Components were built by the Royal Australian Navy Torpedo Establishment (hydraulic servo units), EMI (guidance receivers and amplifiers) and the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (magnesium castings). Some parts were also imported from the UK. Assembly was undertaken at Salisbury, South Australia by the Fairey Aviation Company Special Projects Division. Test firings took place in 1955-56 but by this time the RTV1 was considered obsolete.
The Museum has two examples of the RTV1e second stage rocket in its collection (ST 35159 & HT 21616). One has had its casing replaced with clear plastic for display purposes. They were donated by the Department of Supply in 1962. It also holds an example of the Stage 1 Booster Unit (ST 26129).

Rated 5 out of 5�by elsasnow Sugar sweet! In love with this dress! More peachy pink than the picture. The sleeves are semi-sheer and it's super soft. The only issue I see is wearing the perfect bra, since the wrap in the front is nonadjustable and the back keyhole is pretty long. Definitely using fashion tape with this one. But it looks gorgeous on and it's super flattering! I got my usual small and it fits great! February 22, 2014

To describe his battle against psoriasis, Alan Eisenberg likes to quote John Paul Jones, the famed Revolutionary War mariner: "I have not yet begun to fight."
For six years, the Portland, Ore., resident has been trying treatments for his skin condition. Methotrexate helped his nails, but didn't cure the skin outbreaks. He says the prescription drug Enbrel worked for six months, then lost its effect. Another drug gave him hives. Yet another worked better, but put him at risk of infections. He had to stop using it when he had a hip replaced due to arthritis related to his psoriasis.
Still, the retired bus driver and union organizer keeps a sense of humor, joking as he reels off the highlights of his fight against the autoimmune disease.
In most cases, doctors can find a treatment that brings this disease under control, several psoriasis experts told WebMD. But the process can take trial, error, and time.
"A huge part of the first visit with patients is breaking the good news and bad news to them. The bad news is they have a chronic disease that is incurable. The good news is there are many treatments available to keep it under control," says Andrew Blauvelt, MD, of the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland.
"The goal of therapy is to hit on something that works and is safe, and it sometimes takes several tries to find something that works for an individual without side effects," he says.
Finding the Right Option May Take Some Experimenting
During psoriasis, a person's immune system acts up, causing skin cells to grow at a faster pace. This causes red patches, which may be rough and scaly. The disease is caused by different genetic glitches in different patients, says Blauvelt, a psoriasis expert who, like the other doctors quoted in this story, has done work on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. Not only does a person's genetic makeup determine how the disease shows up, it also plays a role in whether treatments will work or not.
"Each person's response is really individual and different," says Abby Van Voorhees, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania Health System in Philadelphia. Doctors can offer about a dozen treatments, she says. "I caution my patients that while the first one might not be successful, they really need to hang in there. Most often we can find a modality that will work."
When deciding which treatment to try first, a doctor will consider how much of your body is affected by outbreaks, says Lawrence Green, MD, a dermatologist in the Washington, D.C. area and a trustee of the National Psoriasis Foundation.
If just a small amount of skin is involved, you may be able to use a topical treatment, such as applying medicine to your skin. If more than 5% of your body is covered with outbreaks, you may need systemic therapy (treatments that go throughout your body, such as pills or injections). (The palm of your hand is the size of about 1% of your body's surface area, Blauvelt says).
Other signs that suggest you may need a systemic approach include:
- Having psoriatic arthritis
- Having outbreaks on more sensitive areas, such as your palms, soles of your feet, face, or genitalia
- Lack of success with all the topical treatments
You play a role in the success of your treatment. So while you're seeking a drug that will bring your psoriasis under control, the experts who spoke to WebMD suggested these strategies:
Be Patient
Depending on the treatment, you may need one to three months before the drug starts working, Van Voorhees says. Be sure to ask your doctor how soon you might notice improvement, and how you'll be able to know if the treatment is helping, she says.
Remember That Control Is a Long-Term Process
"There's not a treatment that allows you to take a pill once and make psoriasis go away, like treating an infection with an antibiotic," Van Voorhees says. If your treatment is to rub steroid medicine onto your skin, you may do it several times a day until your lesions have dwindled away, then hold off on further treatment until they start to return, Blauvelt says. You'll then continue this cycle indefinitely.
Be sure to stick with your treatment, even when your skin starts looking better, Van Voorhees says. "When their skin is looking good, sometimes patients get more casual, and they need to remain conscientious about continuing their treatments."
Find an Expert
If your disease requires medicine that you put into your body, seek out a skin doctor who has a special focus on psoriasis, Blauvelt says. "The care of patients on systemic therapies can become complicated, and it's probably best done by those with experience with newer medications," he says.
Help Your Doctor Find a Treatment That Fits
In general, people with psoriasis are happy to use their medicines as directed, Green says. But if your doctor prescribes a treatment that's hard for you to use, you'll be more likely to drift away from it, and your disease can return.
Be sure your doctor gives you a treatment that suits your lifestyle. If you travel often, needing a UV light several times a week may not be a good choice, says Green, who has had psoriasis since he was a teen.
Be Ready to Deal with Insurance Issues
Your insurance company may want you to first try an older treatment that's cheaper. For example, "Methotrexate is often a first-line systemic therapy for psoriasis, but it's only 30% to 40% effective and has potential serious side effects," Blauvelt says. "Often it's used first, because it costs about $500 a year, where newer, more effective treatments that go into the 80% effective range are around $20,000 a year."
Do What You Can to Help Yourself Heal
"I encourage my patients to work on managing their stress levels, getting enough sleep, and eating a balanced diet. Most people think that psoriasis is made worse by stress. So anything patients can do for themselves is certainly helpful," Van Voorhees says.
And by reaching out to others with psoriasis through a group such as the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF), you can pick up more ideas on how to deal with the effects of the disease, Green says.
Eisenberg, 63, relies on meditation and music to help him stay relaxed and to reduce his chance of flare-ups, and he stays active with the NPF. "Try to deal with it and ask your doctor questions," he says. "You'll learn that there are no silver bullets. If you luck out finding a treatment that works, you luck out. But if one thing fails, I myself have learned to not give up hope."

Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 10 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ecstasyBaby Statement piece As a Jeffrey Campbell fan, I have been eyeing these boots until they went on sale - got a size 7 which is my usual shoe size, and they fit pretty well. Love the crochet and the buttons - gives a romantic, Victorian feel. Would be great if the soles were made a bit thicker. There are a lot of people asking me where I got those boots. If you are on the fence, I would say get them! 1.1.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jessica_C Love them! I wasn't impressed by the online pictures but since it was such a deal on sale I decided to order these shoes anyway and I'm pleasantly surprised, they look amazing! I ordered a sz 6 since that was the only one left even though I'm a 6.5-7 and they fit perfectly, but the width is narrow, so people with wide feet would need to size up. They do seem a little unstable while walking but I guess that's expected with the height. Overall I'm happy I got these at such a great price! 2.7.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by electtralyte Awesome! These boots are gorgeous in person and are very well made. They are the perfect addition to your wardrobe if you like unique statement pieces 4.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by smurfday1718 Amazing I love these shoes if it hadn't been for the recent stream of snow storms I'd be wearing them a lot more. I loved them when I saw them and have loved them since I took them out of the box. They are made well and are really comfortable. just LOVE LOVE LOVE!! 4.17.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by candicealicia I loveeeeeeeeee these So, I was on the fence about these. I am 5'10. Tall & thin. I wasn't sure how tall they would make me. I felt as though they were so unique and there was only one size 9 left in stock so I bought them on impulse..screw it. Can always return them, right? The craftsmanship of this boot is unparalleled. They are gorgeous. I don't know when or where I will wear these but I am so happy to have them in my boot collection. The crochet is so beautiful. They are well made and I feel like a model in them. I am tall, but not 6'5 or anything. They fit my slim legs so well. I absolutely love them. Thanks JC! 3.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by PaulaMattie All Most Perfect! First Off I Have to Say These BOOTS are GORGEOUS!!!! And they will fit a wide selection of calf sizes! And At this Price if you are on the fence then don't wait GET THEM!!!! Now all this being said.... I took a chance and ordered a 10 which will sometimes fit and sometimes it wont. These fit but were just a tad bit tight and I could have made them work but it was just a bit to tight for a person who wears a true 41 or a 10.5~11. I really prefer my boots so I can wear socks with them in the winter so these just would not go. So it is no fault of Jeffrey Campbell or Free People that they didn't fit. I just Soooooooo Wish they had these in a size 11!!! They are way more AWESOME In Real Life, than what the pictures here can show! Sadly I had to return them. 2.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by flowerchild09 MY NEW OBSESSION I normally don't write reviews on the products I buy but I couldn't resist since I read the other 2 on here before I purchased. These boots are a dream! I fell in love with them when I saw another girl wearing them but was discouraged when she told me she spent $380+. After searching high and low and waiting I now own the very boots I fell for months prior. They fit perfectly! They don't run small like other people have said. I normally wear a 7 1/2 and got the 7 and they are fantastic. I have very large thighs and they don't look ridiculously tight because of the elastic on each side :) If you are debating on buying these, make the investment! I literally had a moment when I put them on my feet for the first time :D 1.29.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Artnugget Glorious Wonderbar boots! First off, these boots are gorgeous! However, they are EXTREMELY narrow. With that said, I was super excited when they arrived in the mail. I was blown away by the detail and craftsmanship of these boots, but with just about all Jefffrey Campbell shoes they run very small (at least for me anyways.) Against my better judgement I ordered a size 9 (my true size) just to see f maybe by some slim miracle they would fit. They DIDN'T. So I reordered them a size up. What can I say? I'm in love :) 1.28.2013

Types of Treatment for Cervical Cancer
Surgery and radiation therapy are the most common treatments for cervical cancer. A specialist known as a gynecologic oncologist, who is specifically trained to treat these cancers, may recommend one or both of these treatment options for you. Discuss with your doctor and other health care professionals any questions and concerns you have about your treatment options. Ask how successful the treatment is expected to be, and what the risks and side effects may be. Take the time you need to make the best decision for you.
Doctors are also finding new ways to treat cervical cancer. These new methods are tested in clinical trials. Before beginning treatment, you should ask your doctor if there are any clinical trials you should consider.
Treatment for cervical cancer is either local or systemic.
Local treatments remove, destroy, or control cancer cells in 1 area. Surgery and radiation are types of local treatments for cervical cancer:
Surgery. The goal of a radical hysterectomy is to completely remove the cancer and to remove the pelvic lymph nodes to test them for spread of the disease. Surgery is used for early stage cancers that have not spread far beyond the cervix. Surgical treatment usually results in a cure. Some patients with small, early stage tumors may undergo less radical surgery and may remain able to have children.
Radiation. This treatment kills cancer cells by using high-energy X-rays directed at the tumor. Radiation can be external (from outside your body) and can also be internal (using radioactive material placed inside your body). Women treated with radiation for cervical cancer usually receive low-dose chemotherapy at the same time, which can make the radiation work better. Sometimes radiation can be used in place of surgery. For smaller cancers, radiation works as well as surgery. Radiation can also be used to cure larger cancers and is the treatment of choice for more advanced stage tumors.
Systemic treatments destroy or control cancer cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment. That's because it travels through the bloodstream to the whole body to target cancer cells that may have spread beyond the primary tumor:
Chemotherapy. This treatment uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It is not very effective when used alone for cervical cancer. Most women who have chemotherapy for cervical cancer have it combined with radiation.
You may have just 1 method of treatment. Or you may have a combination of these treatments options.
How your doctor knows what treatment choices to suggest
Cervical cancer can be treated. The recommendations for your treatment depend on each of these factors:
Type of cervical cancer you have
Size and location of the tumor, called the stage
Your age and general health
Whether the cancer has spread to other parts of your body
Your desire to become pregnant in the future
How likely it is that the treatment will cure the cancer. Some cancers can be cured while others can't.
Treatment can control the cervical cancer. It can also control symptoms of the cancer.
The gynecologic oncologist will help you make a treatment plan once you know the type and stage of cervical cancer you have. Talking about your treatment choices will be one of the most important meetings you'll have with your doctor.
It may take time to choose the best plan. Ask your doctor how much time you can take to explore your options. You may want to get an opinion from another doctor before deciding on treatment. You may also want to talk with your family and friends.

"I was seen in your emergency room on Saturday, May 10, 2008.
I was brought back to an examination room almost within minutes after my arrival, being seen for chest pains and difficulty of breathing.
Two nurses, Kelly and Sarah, gave me personal, expedient and the most professional care I could have wished for. Dr. Deborah Younger was the attending physician and was absolutely wonderful.
Thankfully, I was not having a heart attack but was reassured that I had not been foolish to come with the symptoms that were present. Please extend my thanks to your wonderful staff."

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Dec. 19)-The New Mexico State men's basketball team's upset bid of in-state rival No. 16/17 New Mexico fell short with a 68-63 loss.
It snapped an 11-game home winning streak for the Aggies (5-6) dating back to last season. Sophomore guard Daniel Mullings paced the Aggies with 13 points and five assists. Senior forward Tyrone Watson contributed 11 points, while junior guard Kevin Aronis tied a career-high mark with 12 points.
Aronis hit a career-best four 3-poitners (4-of-5), and the Aggies made a season-high 10 shots from beyond the 3-point line (10-of-17).
After 18 days since their last home game, the Aggies were comfortable at home and shot the ball well in the first half. NM State made 6-of-7 3-pointers in the first half. The Aggies built an 11-point lead, 25-14, with a 16-2 run that spanned six minutes.
UNM (12-0) answered with the next nine points to even the score at 25-25 with 4:39 remaining in the first half. The teams traded baskets to end the half, and the Aggies were down, 34-32, at the break. Watson led the Aggies with nine points, and senior forward Bandja Sy added five points and five rebounds.
The Aggies regained the lead, 37-36, early in the second half on a 3-pointer from sophomore guard K.C. Ross-Miller at the 18:09 mark.
