ISU’s 11th annual Polar Plunge brought over 160 people from the university and surrounding community together for the chilly event.
Polar Plunge brings exceeding turnout Anthony Goelz Reporter
This past Saturday students dove into freezing water to benefit the Special Olympics Indiana during the 2017 Polar Plunge held at Indiana State University. Around 10 a.m., spectators gathered outside of the ISU Student Recreation Center to watch as participants jump into a freezing pool of water. “We had over 160 plungers today and over $38,000 in funds raised for Special Olympics to support the summer games held here at Indiana State University,” Lisa Moore, a member of the Polar Plunge and an employee at ISU, said. The participants included 24 groups
and a few individual students. Moore went on to explain how one could participate in the plunge. “Anyone who raised more than $75 through their own initiatives were invited to plunge today and as you can see there were a lot of groups that work at that as part of their organization’s efforts throughout the year,” Moore said. According to the official Polar Plunge website, Moore slightly overestimated the amount of funds raised. The Indiana State event raised a total of $36,942. The highest earning group was the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority. Alpha Sigma Alpha raised a grand total of $10,155 from 307 donors. Other top groups include Plunging Palooza, Green County Popsicles, Long in Coat and the fifth highest group was For

Five people who did not know one another a few months ago stood around a campfire talking with passion, wit and pain about how they came to live together here in the cold. Somebody put bacon in a skillet. It was just after noon. The temperature was 17 degrees. “In weather like this,” explained the man from Kentucky, “you need to keep your calories up.” Not that anyone seemed cold. Not Cindy, who quit her job in Oregon to be here. Not Chato Duncan, who grew up in Northern California with parents who are from the Dine and Pomo tribes. Not Christopher, the homeless Kentuckian. Not Benji Buffalo, who was raised in the Blackfeet tribe in Montana and, if you ask the others, is the leader of this improvised tribe. “He’s our chief,” Duncan said. Of the thousands of people who spent hours or months here protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline before approval of its final segment this past week by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, some have had mysterious backgrounds and lengthy arrest records, while others have been prominent and
accomplished. At least one, Patricia Arquette, has won an Academy Award. Some would not reveal their real names or where they work. Some would pray daily for peace. Many have been Native American. Some arrived with one group of people only to migrate to another. They all came to help the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe fight the pipeline, which would carry oil through lands it considers sacred, and beneath a lake that provides its water supply. Yet even as they share a common purpose, protesters have been notable for their diversity and fluidity. That helps explain the tension that had been apparent lately, as some people have resisted a request by the Sioux to clean up and clear out so the tribe can shift focus to the legal and political battles ahead with the Trump administration. But it also might explain the camps’ resilience. Part of what has drawn and kept many people here has been the chance to see themselves anew in the service of a larger cause, a greater good. People may be circumspect about themselves, but they have been quick to talk—expansively, righteously, fre-

Mikey and Izabelle. Moore took time to thank the sororities and fraternities that participated in the event. “Alpha Sigma Alpha’s sorority at Indiana State University and Pi Kappa Alpha at Indiana State University are both huge helpers in fundraising, and also participants in the plunge,” Moore said. On the individual participant side, Linda Bedwell raised a total of $6,068 from 82 supporters. The rest of the top five participants were Billy Blundell, John Leinenbach, Mindy Schultz and Emily Astroski respectively. There is a full list on the official Polar Plunge webpage of donors for the 2017 Polar Plunge, according to Moore. This event was held to support the
Special Olympics Indiana. According to the Polar Plunge website, “Special Olympics Indiana is a nonprofit organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in more than 20 Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, reaching more than 12,000 athletes throughout the state of Indiana. Special Olympics Indiana is part of the international network of accredited Special Olympics Programs that reaches more than 4 million athletes with intellectual disabilities worldwide.” This was the 11th annual Polar Plunge held at ISU. This day brought together many members of the university community, students and the Terre Haute community.
Showing of ‘The 13th’ honors Black History Month on campus Claire Silcox Reporter
In honor of Black History Month, Cunningham Memorial Library will be showing the Netflix original documentary, “The 13th” at 6 p.m. in the events center. “The 13th” is a documentary directed by Oscar nominated and the director of “Selma,” Ava DuVernay. She was the first African American woman to receive the Best Director award at Sundance film festival for “Middle of Nowhere.” This in-depth documentary shows the audience a broader look at the United States’ prison system and the racial inequality within it, discussing not only the topic of today’s prison society, but also the past. History
makes up a large portion of most Black History Month educational programs. Since 1972, the amount of prisoners has grown to 2.3 million from 300,000, giving the United States the highest incarceration population in the world. With having only 5 percent of the world’s population, but 25 percent of the world’s prisoner population, this is just the beginning of the U.S. statistics on incarceration rates. This documentary is being shown to teach students about the history of racial issues within the prison system in the U.S. and how from the early days of freedom, the African American population has been charged to an extent of crimes they may not have committed.
The 13th amendment outlawed slavery in the United States, but there was a loophole —prisoners. Because of this loophole, African American people were arrested for minor crimes and were forced to continue their now-legal slavery as prisoners after the Civil War to help the South rebuild their economy. “The 13th” is an Oscar nominated film that teaches the historical and often unknown side of the U.S. prison system. Many Americans may not know the severity of the racist tendencies of their own country and its legal system, and the documentary works to inform them of that.

Indiana State University’s first Natural Con Erica Garnes Reporter

Natural Con focused on the benefits and techniques on how to best manage natural hair while still looking and feeling its best.
Programs All Weekend held Indiana State University’s first Natural Con event on Saturday. Natural Con is a spin-off of Beauty Con, an event meant for the best beauty and fashion gurus. Natural Con was produced to spread the knowledge of natural hair and for all of the naturalists to come together and talk about their techniques. Natural hair is just as it sounds; it is the hair of an African American woman or man whose texture has not been altered by chemicals, such as relaxers and texturizers. Natural Con was made for pure knowledge and acknowledgment. Caucasian women also attended, staying to listen and learn something they may not have heard before. There were also few male participants that came
to listen and learn a thing or two about their hair, because believe it or not, there are plenty of guys who have natural hair. Natural Con was also made for the acknowledgment of all natural-haired women and men who do not get acknowledged. It is not a trend to be all-natural; it is a state of mind and life. It was relieving to sit and talk with other natural-haired people. The event was held in Dede I from 5 to 8 p.m. Ra’Leshia Davis was giving her client box braids, Deanna Scott was doing a sew-in, Koewyn Rose was styling natural hair with a twist out, and Nancy Godinez was the makeup artist. With natural hair comes protective styling: different styles you can do when you need to give your natural hair a break and not disturb its growing process. Students, faculty and the Terre Haute community all walked by
to watch, learn and to even make hair appointments with the stylists. There was a DIY deep conditioning section; it consisted of bananas, Greek yogurt and honey. People walked to the table took a scoop of each and mixed it all in a container. The more natural the deep conditioner is, the better it is for the hair. The final and best part of the event was the hour long panel. It consisted of Valerie Hart-Craig, Jamina Tribbett, HyDiea Johnson and Makayla Thompson. Four natural women who talked about their journey, goals, personal tips and gave advice through the panel. After the panel was done, there were goody bags given to the ladies. This event was sponsored by Curls, who not only were the page sponsor but also provided the participants with mini samples.

Snapchat’s young users are at once its greatest asset and one of its biggest risks Tracey Lien and Samantha Masunaga Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Kids don’t use email any more. Facebook is for Mom and Dad. And Yik Yak is so 2015. When it comes to communication in 2017, Snapchat is where it’s at. Snap Inc.’s ability to court a young demographic with its ephemeral photo and video messaging app Snapchat has been one of its defining characteristics and the pillar of its success. But as the company prepares for its stock market debut, its reliance on users under the age of 25 could also be one of its biggest liabilities. “It’s the rocks many ships have crashed on,” said Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, who has studied companies that staked their success on the loyalty of young customers. “Think of all the teen retailers that were fabulously successful five to 10 years ago that are now in terrible shape. Look at Abercrombie and Fitch,” Gordon said. “(Young people) are not as loyal as they move on. As they start to get older, they don’t want to do what they did as kids.” And Snap Inc. knows this. In its S-1 — a form that companies planning to go public file with the SEC — the company pinpointed as a risk the fact that the majority of its users are between 18 and 34 years old, a demographic that “may be less brand loyal and more likely to follow
trends than other demographics.” Worse, Snapchat usage appears to taper with age. Users younger than 25 opened the app more than 20 times a day and spent more than 30 minutes viewing photos and video. Users older than 25 visited Snapchat about 12 times a day and spent a total of 20 minutes in the app. Whether the company succeeds in the long term or falls on the sword of youthful disloyalty will depend on whether it is touched by the “age effect” or the “cohort effect,” Gordon said. In the former, broad swaths of Snapchat users would lose interest when they reach a certain age. “It would be like cheap beer,” Gordon said. “I live in a college town, and the best-selling beers are cheap beers. But when these students graduate and they have income, they switch. They’re no longer drinking what’s on special.” The latter — and more desirable of the two — is the cohort effect, in which people stick with a product or service they’ve grown up with because it has become a habit. “Each cohort and generation chooses what works for them, and then they stick with it,” said Chi-Hua Chien, a partner at Goodwater Capital who led early investments in Facebook and Twitter. “People in their 40s use email, people in their 30s use text and Facebook, people in their 20s use Snapchat. People in their 40s aren’t going to suddenly
start abandoning email because something else has come along.” And that’s what Snap Inc is banking on. Its S-1 is littered with references to “retention, growth, and engagement” — a sign that it understands the need to hang on to today’s teens and millennials if it doesn’t want to go the way of other flash-in-the pan apps. But even just hanging onto its current audience could be risky, said Adam Brasel, associate professor and chairman of Boston College’s marketing department. He said Snapchat faces a similar risk to many social networks: its mass popularity with current millennials might work against it in the next generation, much like how Facebook is not as popular with teens. “To some degree, Snapchat is so popular right now with millennials that as millennials age, the generation that’s coming up behind (them) may view Snapchat as not for them,” Brasel said. “If it truly becomes this generational thing, they run this risk of being tied to the generation, rather than the age group. And that can be very risky.” Snapchat’s popularity has already evolved from its initial appeal as a way to send disappearing messages. It now captivates users with a plethora of filters for photos and videos, and exclusive articles published by a select group of media companies. The trick, Brasel says, is to figure out what the next hook will be.

Trump’s stand on immigrants could be costly Internet-connected devices threaten security Franco Ordonez
McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS)
In his first week on the job, President Donald Trump launched an ambitious plan to increase immigration enforcement. But while there has been much discussion about the cost of building a wall along the 2,000-mile-long border with Mexico, there has been almost none about the financial impact of his proposed end to the “catch and release” policy, which would require those here illegally to remain in custody until they appear in court. That program will require Trump to double or triple the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s $2.2 billion detention budget, according to calculations by McClatchy. The additional money would go to build and staff more jails. “You’re talking billions of dollars,” said Muzaffar Chishti, the director of the Migration Policy Institute’s office at the New York University School of Law. “Americans have swallowed a lot in terms of immigration enforcement since 9/11. The issue for the Trump administration is that they’re also trying to reduce
the deficit. It’s very difficult to both reduce the deficit and have a huge expansion of immigration machinery.” Trump has issued a series of directives aimed at reducing the number of foreigners living illegally in the United States, estimated at 11 million. Those plans include building the border wall and adding 5,000 Border Patrol officers. Ending “catch and release” also presents a legal challenge. Federal courts have limited long detentions for immigration violations. Based on a 2001 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security agency that is responsible for enforcing immigration laws, must deport or release immigrants within six months after their cases are decided. Immigration lawyers say that deadline is routinely missed. Moreover, a 2015 federal court ruling limits the detention of children and parents to just 20 days, hardly enough time to resolve an immigration case. Detaining thousands more people will exacerbate an already long backlog of hundreds of thousands who are awaiting
cases in immigration court. Trump has portrayed his immigration orders as a national security issue to stop the flow of drugs, crime and illegal immigrants into the United States. “We are going to restore the rule of law in the United States,” Trump told a crowd of Homeland Security employees after the order was released. “Beginning today, the United States gets control of its borders.” But it will take more than strong words. Trump will need Congress to pay for his actions. The anticipated costs to revamp the immigration system are already in the billions. The wall would cost $8 billion to $10 billion, or perhaps much more. Hiring new immigration agents will cost more billions. The Homeland Security Department’s 2017 budget request sought $7 billion to pay more than 40,000 officers. Trump has received the backing of key lawmakers like House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who called the border wall a “national security issue.” Determining the total cost of detaining everyone suspected of violating immigration laws is complex.

Your office may seem clean. But it’s probably not. Invisible network pollution contaminates the space, and it may open a door to intruders. The pollution comes from the growing list of internet-connected devices: cellphones, security cameras, thermostats, door locks, printers, speakerphones, even coffeemakers. Not all of them have up-to-date security patches or strong password protection. All of them are potential targets for hackers. In a report titled to be released Monday, a Boston-based company says the connected devices that surround us at home and work concern technology security experts, who see the rise of a menacing new force. “Our devices live in an open and free world. They connect to anything. They connect to good things and bad things. They don’t know the difference,” said Paul Paget, chief executive of Pwnie Express. The problem, Paget said, is that much of the internet-connected world is contaminated
with malicious code, or malware, “and your devices swim in that pollution.” Increasingly, employees carry their own devices to work, perhaps unwittingly bringing infections and malware into contact with office networks, or bring devices with weak defenses that can be hijacked forcibly recruited into a robotic network, or botnet, for attacks elsewhere. The first major alarm about botnets arose on Oct. 21 when hackers used malware, which security professionals called Mirai, to harness an army of connected devices, mainly security cameras, to overwhelm a New Hampshire firm, Dyn, that is a backbone of the internet. The took down internet access in some metropolitan areas of the East Coast. Suddenly, the risk of connected devices became a hot topic.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abelooks on as US President Donald Trump speaks during a press conference in the East Room of the White House on Feb. 10, 2017 in Washington, D.C.
Despite President Donald Trump’s dire warnings about imminent foreign threats, the White House said Friday that it did not plan to appeal a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals order halting his travel ban on citizens from seven Muslim nations directly to the Supreme Court. A senior administration official said White House lawyers would likely instead argue the case before the same Seattle court run by the man Trump denounced as a “so-called judge,” and Trump told reporters on Air Force One that options other than a Supreme
Court appeal were being considered. While predicting an eventual victory, Trump acknowledged it may take time. “We will win that battle,” he said. “The unfortunate part is that it takes time statutorily, but we will win that battle.” Trump also said he was considering issuing a new order that presumably would change aspects of the original order that an appeals court found objectionable. The senior administration official said the White House might eventually take the case to the high court, but that would depend on how it fared in lower courts. “All options are on the table,” the official said.

REJECTION FROM PAGE 2 The White House statement came 24 hours after Thursday’s unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals not to reinstate Trump’s executive order temporarily banning entry by citizens of seven majority-Muslim nations. Trump could have quickly requested an emergency stay of that ruling from the Supreme Court in hopes of putting his temporary immigration ban back into effect. But such emergency orders are rarely granted, and the prospects were poor that the high court, divided 4-4 between liberal and conservatives, could muster the five votes needed to grant one. The shorthanded Supreme Court will almost certainly catch the case at some point. But when, how often and under what circumstances require tough tactical and strategic choices from a Trump team that so far has lost its legal arguments repeatedly. Underscoring the complicated, multifront nature of the

You know, it just doesn’t make sense.” Cindy first came last fall for a brief visit. Then she came back with her Winnebago, her dog
and her cat. “I was going to stay for a couple of days, but then I stayed a little longer,” Cindy said. “And then I went home, said goodbye to my grandkids, quit my job and came back.” Why? “Justice!” Buffalo answered for her, feigning passion, ribbing her because he had heard this explanation before. “Social justice!” Cindy, unruffled, clarified. For Buffalo, the issue was desecration of what the Standing Rock Sioux say are ancient cultural and burial sites in the path of the pipeline. “They wouldn’t go plow
through the cemetery in town or the veterans’ cemetery,” Buffalo said. “But if any of us ever dug one shovel’s worth out of one of their cemeteries — boom, you’re in jail. And they get to just plow through this? These are our warriors, our family, our people.” He pointed to small sandfilled bags and large rubber pellets fired by law enforcement officers during a clash near the pipeline site. “What gives them the right? It’s because they got the more mightier dollar?” Buffalo said. “That doesn’t give them the right. They’re going to have to live with this for the rest of their life.”
legal conflict, a Virginia-based federal judge on Friday morning heard oral argument on other challengers’ request for a separate injunction blocking Trump’s executive order. “All of us welcome and benefit from immigration, tourism and international student travel,” California and more than a dozen other states said in a brief filed Thursday, “and all of us face concrete, immediate and irreparable harms caused by the executive order.” The oral argument Friday morning before U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema, a Democratic appointee, came about 15 hours after the 9th Circuit had repudiated Trump with its ruling. On Friday, Trump promised to do “whatever is necessary” to keep the country safe. During a visit with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Trump deflected questions about possibly rewriting the executive order. But he promised he will be taking steps to provide additional security. “You’ll be seeing that sometime next week,” he said. Trump tweeted earlier in the
day that the 9th Circuit panel had made a “disgraceful decision!” He’d posed a more ominous scenario following U.S. District Judge James Robart’s Feb. 3 decision imposing a temporary restraining order on the travel ban, tweeting that he “just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril” and that “the judge opens up our country to potential terrorists.” Going to the Supreme Court right away would have stretched out decision-making for several days, as legal briefs would have to be filed and considered. Another immediate loss for Trump, while it wouldn’t have fully addressed the case for and against the executive order, would also simply have looked bad for the president. “They don’t want a bad precedent on their side,” said Polly Price, an Emory University law professor. “If it looks like they would get a definitive ruling really limiting the president’s power here, this might not be the kind of case they want to risk that. … I don’t think they want to risk it on an issue like
this, which seems so easy to lose.” Once back at Robart’s Seattle courtroom, the legal challenge to the executive order by the states of Washington and Minnesota will be judged on its merits. This, too, will take some time. The Justice Department’s brief opposing the states’ request for an injunction is due next Wednesday, with the states’ response to it due two days later. That schedule might change. After what’s likely to be further oral argument, Robart would rule. “We are fully confident that now that we will get our day in court and have an opportunity to argue this on the merits, that we will prevail,” White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said on Fox News. In its 29-page decision Thursday upholding Robart’s earlier temporary restraining order, the 9th Circuit’s threejudge panel said it thought the White House ultimately would lose the case. “The government has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits of its appeal, nor has it shown that fail-

ure to enter a stay would cause irreparable injury,” the panel ruled. While this does not mandate Robart’s ultimate decision, it does predict it. “You don’t have to read between the lines very much to infer they think that the federal government is likely to lose,” said Michael Dorf, professor of constitutional law at Cornell Law School. Robart’s decision will lead to another appeal to the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit, though it would be heard by a different three-judge panel from the one that ruled Thursday. Whichever side loses at that stage can then choose either to request a so-called en banc review by all active 9th Circuit judges or, perhaps more likely if it’s the government that loses, they can head to the Supreme Court. Four justices would be required for the Supreme Court to hear the appeal. Given the stakes, that’s all but guaranteed, but then would come the actual consideration and a decision.

Valentine’s Day Traditions around the world:
Compiled by Grace Harrah, Features Editor
Japan Japanese Valentine’s Day has evolved and is a cultural custom strictly for women to give gifts, homemade cookies and even confess to their loved ones on this day. It is unheard of in Japan for the males to give gifts on this special day. However, men do get their chance to show their affection on a day called “White Day,” which follows exactly a month after Valentine’s Day on March 14.
Estonia For people of Estonia, Feb. 14 is officially named Friends Day. Although the traditional Valentine’s Day is celebrated for some, many like to celebrate this day with friends and family along with their significant others.
Wales Feb. 14 is not the exact date to celebrate Valentine’s Day for the Welsh. In Wales, Jan. 25 is St. Dwynwen’s Day, also known as the patron saint of lovers. This historical day dates back to the fifth century, celebrating a love story of Dwynwen and Maelon, a discrete yet romantic legend. Today this day is celebrated with customary love-spoons as gifts, also dated back to traditional custom of Welsh men giving engraved wooden spoons with symbols to their lovers.
South Korea While Valentine’s Day is traditionally celebrated full of love and romance within couples, in South Korea those that are single also have a tradition that can be seen on this day. South Korea has a traditional day called ‘Black Day,’ following exactly two months after Valentine’s Day on April 14. This day is strictly for those that are single and to eat black colored noodles called Jjajang myeon noodles. This day is often celebrated with others that are single, creating a special dining experience for all.
Denmark & Norway Although Valentine’s Day in these Nordic countries recently became a popular tradition, the people of Denmark and Norway came up with their own unique way to celebrate it. The tradition of writing anonymous poems and rhymes called “Gaekkebrev” are often given from males to females. Because it is from an anonymous sender, the female must guess whom the poem came from. If she guesses correctly, she will receive an egg for Easter Sunday.

Keep your lipstick on your lips, not your cup.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with these kiss-proof lipsticks Alison Smith
The Philadelphia Inquirer (TNS)
Whether you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day, a rockin’ red lip is a perfect accessory for Feb. 14. Not as perfect? A smear of lipstick on your face, your glass or your date. (I know my husband is always super-charmed when a quick smooch leaves him wearing purple lipstick.) Liquid lipstick to the rescue! These quick-dry, long-wear formulas offer bright, budge-proof color. Nota bene: “Long-wear” and “drying” often go hand in hand. Prep your pout before applying a liquid lip by using a lip scrub (I like Tarte’s Lip Facial Lip Scrub, $16 at Sephora) followed by a
moisturizing balm. (Good old Chapstick is fine here; try the Total Hydration 3 in 1, $2.99 at drugstores.) These five liquid lipsticks, all favorites of mine, will last through any eating, drinking, and kissing you have planned for Valentine’s Day. Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick ($24 at Sephora or Ulta) promises six hours of continuous wear, but I’ve found it performs as advertised—it stays all day. Try Fiery (a deep red), Beso (a true red), or Tesoro (an orange red). Tarte Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint ($20 at Sephora or Ulta) is an ultra-pigmented, ultra-matte vegan liquid lipstick.

LOS ANGELES — Despite the cloudy weather, hundreds gathered Friday outside the Musicians Institute on Hollywood Boulevard to celebrate the unveiling of Adam Levine’s star on the Walk of Fame. The Maroon 5 lead singer, songwriter and judge on NBC’s “The Voice” received the 2,601st star on the legendary walk. The ceremony brought out co-stars Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and even musician Sammy Hagar. With Maroon 5 hits blasting from speakers, fans waited for a chance to catch a glimpse of the star. “He’s able to connect with the fans through their music,” said Tracy Wesolowski, who arrived at 5 in the morning from San Jose, Calif. “The lyrics he writes, whether it’s sexual or deep or love, you always feel that he’s feeling what he’s singing,” Before the ceremony began, Leron Gubler, president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, quizzed fans on trivia about Levine. “The guy is multitalented and deserves to be here,” Hagar said. Shelton embraced the “Moves Like Jagger” singer before stepping up to the microphone to congratulate him. “Imagine my disap-

pointment when I found out this isn’t a roast,” Shelton joked. “I’m happy to see him get this because he’s my friend.” When Levine accepted the honor, he described the early days of Maroon 5, whose band members recently celebrated 23 years of playing together. “We were 14 or 15 when we started this band, and back then I’ll never forget what we used to do,” Levine said. “Every single Friday night we’d have band practice, literally down the street.” Then called Kara’s Flowers, the
young musicians would wait until their parents fell asleep, then get into the car of the band’s original drummer, Ryan Dusick. “The greatest thing about growing up in L.A. is that we’d sneak out and we’d go see live music.” Levine thanked his family, friends and fans for supporting his career. “I am me because of you,” Levine said. “I am one of the luckiest people who’s ever lived and it has nothing to do with me. It has to do with the people who love me the most.”
Grammy host James Corden adds to his odd resume Rick Bentley
The Fresno Bee (TNS)
LOS ANGELES — James Corden never wanted to be a talk show host. And yet, here he is becoming a superstar with “The Late Late Show” on CBS. Oh, and now he’s adding host of the 59th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday to his list of gigs. Corden, 38, is an actor by trade with screen, TV and stage credits dating back to 1997 in his native Great Britain. He came to Broadway in 2011 and won a Tony Award for his role in “One Man, Two Gu-
vnors” in 2012. He became “The Late Late Show” host in 2015 — after guaranteeing some artistic freedom. “It was only really through realizing that this show could just be a creative platform where I could make whatever hour we wanted to make and we could do anything and we were actually bound by nothing. And that’s when it becomes incredibly exciting,” Corden says. Corden’s version of a talk show is heavy on comedy bits and musical performances. He combines the two for “Carpool Karaoke,” the segment that has become so popular, it won a 2016 Emmy and is set to
become a new series for Apple Music. Corden credits the team around him for making “The Late Late Show” work so well and giving him room to take on other projects like the Grammy hosting job. Lots of support is needed because the more work he gets, the better for Corden. “I really, really consider being tired an honor and a privilege because my cousins are tired and they are bricklayers. And they are as tired, if not tireder than I am.” Looking at his job that way has made Corden realize that if he can’t find enthusiasm for hosting a talk show or awards show then he sees no point in doing the
job. He says he challenges himself with three questions: “What else can we do? How can we make our show better every day? What’s our next thing?” His efforts have been so strong, the buzz in Hollywood is that Corden’s show could move from 12:30 a.m. to the 11:30 p.m. time slot currently held by “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Corden denies hearing such talk. Besides, the time slot isn’t that important to Corden because his approach is to make a talk show that can be seen and enjoyed no matter if it is seen live or on tape.

TRUMP FROM PAGE 2 Homeland Security apprehended 400,000 people last year, but not all of those were held for long. Many were immediately removed. Estimates are that the number of people detained at one time might total 80,000. The calculations are based on current budget appropriations, congressional estimates and interviews with former administration officials and experts who have studied the order and are familiar with the complex U.S immigration system. In Gary, Ill., near Chicago, city leaders sought $80 million to build an 800-bed detention center on 24 acres across from Chicago O’Hare International Airport. It would take 90 such facilities to have enough bed space. Even

if the government, built just 12 more like it, the cost would be $1 billion more. Trump has already taken steps to free up jail space to detain and deport thousands more people. Immigration and Customs Enforcement signed a contract late last year to convert a 1,116bed correction facility in Cibola County, N.M., to an immigration detention center. ICE recently extended a contract with CoreCivic Co. for a 2,400-bed facility in Texas. It’s also in the process of converting a jail in Youngstown, Ohio. In his executive order, the president dismissed the idea of any protected classes of immigrants and expanded the definition of who is considered a criminal to include not only those who have been convicted of a crime but those who have been charged or even thought to have
“committed acts that constitute a chargeable criminal offense.” Last month, the U.S. immigration courts announced they would concentrate on having faster deportation hearings for immigrants held by the federal government. But the idea of detaining more immigrants has sparked fears that the immigration court system, already balky, will grind to a halt. Currently, the nationwide immigration court system, which handles most immigrant deportation proceedings, has a backlog of more than 533,000 cases and the average wait time for a hearing is about two years, according to data from TRAC, a Syracuse University program that collects data from the government’s databases.
INTERNET FROM PAGE 2 coffeemakers are connected and can potentially open a back door to a rogue actor,” says the report, titled “Internet of Evil Things.” To gauge a sense of shifts in the mood of information security experts, Pwnie Express surveyed 868 of them in 80 countries over three weeks ended Jan. 5. Ninety percent said they were concerned about vulnerabilities in the connected world, the survey found, and 44 percent said they now worried more about random connected devices than traditional network security. Two-thirds of the respondents said they didn’t know how many connected devices employees brought into their workplaces. The same number said they either hadn’t checked or didn’t know how to check devices for the Mirai malware. “They are highly concerned about it, and they don’t know what to do,” Paget said. “If they don’t know what to do, then the fear starts to creep in.”
Once focused only on the safety of equipment and computers they directly controlled, 60 percent of network security professionals now realize they have to worry about any connected devices brought into their workplaces, the survey found. Yet only 8 percent said they could continuously monitor and detect such devices. “That means less than 1 in 10 IT security departments could detect Mirai on a webcam, a printer or a device brought from home into an office,” the report says. Paget said company security professionals would increasingly have to monitor all connected devices in range of their networks, including the odd visitor with a Bluetooth-connected phone or even the wireless drone that flew overhead. “Privacy laws come into play,” Paget said, adding that security professionals will have to monitor the activity of such devices, “not touch the data, not inspect it, not drop agents onto machines, but understand what the behavior is.”

Valentine’s Day, no money required

San Francisco makes education a right, not a privilege
Zach Davis Columnist
In a historical moment, San Francisco became the first American city to finally make free college tuition a reality. Mayor Ed Lee and San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim announced early last week that they are setting aside $5.4 million every year for the City College of San Francisco to pay for more than 28,000 students’ college fees. The funds are going to students who have been residents of San Francisco for a year and a day, so not everyone can take advantage of it. That is reasonable, though, since they can only apportion money from what taxes they collect. At least everybody who pays taxes in San Francisco can take equal advantage of the college, even wealthier families, so it isn’t favoring one group of people over another. Eligible students can get their tuition covered, as well as money for
books and supplies. This would relieve the financial burden for students and allow low-income families to get an opportunity to have a better life. This would qualify more people for more jobs, which offer more people a route to success. That isn’t all. An article published by the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that education and crime are connected. The study found that obtaining an education deterred criminals from illegal activity due to the costs associated. For example, their education would go to waste and they would lose assets, and possibly a more comfortable life. Making college more available can potentially reduce crime rates. Suddenly we seem to take care of two things at once: more qualified workers and lower crime rates. To add to the benefits, we would be able to advance scientifically and technologically much easier if more people went to school. More specialists would be trained and we could figure out ways to become more energy efficient, less wasteful and healthier, among other things. We get along much better when we have educated members of society who can help take care of issues as they arise and develop our tools to be more efficient. Though there is a lot of national support for free college tuition, this move
still took some unnecessary backlash. People were concerned about where the money came from, namely because of a tax which was implemented last November. The tax only raised the property transfer tax a miniscule .25 percent on properties worth more than $5 million, and .5 percent on properties worth more than $25 million. That is such a miniscule tax when you consider how much money you must have to be able to purchase one of these properties, yet the tax is expected to generate over $44 million annually and is to be spent on reducing poverty in San Francisco, among other things. The best way to eliminate poverty is to get people an education so they can apply for more jobs. The rest of the country should follow along with San Francisco. Our crime rates would drop, which is good for everybody. We would have more qualified individuals so we wouldn’t have to look overseas for workers, helping our job market. Then more benefits slowly sprout from there. Education is extremely important since it is tied to everything from crime rates to our technology. Everyone has a right to an education. It is time we start acting like it. We need to invest much more in our education and there is no better time to do that than right now: right after someone broke the ice.
Valentine’s Day is one of those well-known holidays, the kind of holiday that is loved and hated by millions across the globe. It is the next holiday that stores like Walmart and Kroger set up the day after New Year’s Day, which leads to over-commercializing the special day. Valentine’s Day has the jewelry, card, flower and candy industry booming due to the over-commercialization of the day. The National Retail Federation conducted a study to find statistics to predict where shoppers will spend their money on Valentine’s Day. According to a press release by Ana Smith, The National Retail Federation projects the Valentine’s Day sales to total $18.2 billion. “Consumers plan to spend $4.3 billion on jewelry (given by 19 percent of shoppers), $3.8 billion on an evening out (37 percent), $2 billion on flowers (35 percent), $1.9 billion on clothing (19 percent), $1.7 billion on candy (50 percent), $1.4 billion on gift cards/gift certificates (16 percent) and $1 billion on greeting cards (47 percent).” These numbers are incredible and it all leads back to being commercialized. The Jewelry industry has advertised through a song titled “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” which was sung by Julie London, Carol Channing, Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt and later on by Marilyn Monroe. As for the card industry, Hallmark is one of the top brands. They even have the Hallmark Channel, which presents shows specific to certain holidays around those times. The candy industry has participated in commercializing Valentine’s Day because it is the time of year when candy is red, pink or white, the colors normally symbolic of love. Clearly the biggest draw of Valentine’s Day is love, either by that special significant other or a random person that agreed to be our date for the day. It is a day to expect public displays of affection and maybe even some engagements. However, romance should come more than just one day a year. A calendar should not have to remind couples that they need to be romantic. Before the calendar even has a chance to remind you, once you walk into a store, they prepare for the next holiday the day after one takes place. They come out with bigger stuffed animals and extravagant gifts. It seems that the companies that produce all the gifts want us to think that the bigger or more expensive the gift, the more we love that person.

Why Trump’s conflicts are a scandal waiting to happen The Sacramento Bee (TNS) President Donald Trump used his official Twitter account Wednesday to bash Nordstrom for “unfairly” dropping daughter Ivanka’s clothing line. “Terrible!” First lady Melania Trump sued a British newspaper for $150 million this week, claiming that a retracted story could cost her an “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to launch a multimillion-dollar brand. Looked at separately, they’re merely the latest eyebrow-raising moves in our new Trump world. But start connecting the dots and it’s a pattern of Trump and his family blatantly mixing business and government. It’s a scandal waiting to happen. After months of promising a plan to avoid conflicts of in-
terest, Trump held a rare press conference the week before his inauguration to make a big deal of putting his business empire into a trust and removing himself from daily decisions. But he refused to sell his assets and put them into a blind trust run by a completely independent party — what previous presidents have done, and the only real way for Trump to avoid conflicts of interest, according to ethics experts of both parties. Now the New York Times reports that the trust is even less independent than previously thought. It is for the president’s “exclusive benefit,” and at any time Trump can revoke the authority of its trustees, his eldest son Don Jr. and the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer. The potential conflicts are vast, with his business deals and his
brand on hotels and skyscrapers around the globe. Closer to home, there’s the new Trump hotel just down the street from the White House. There’s Trump Tower in New York, where the Defense Department is seeking to rent space for staff and equipment — including the “nuclear football” — to support Trump when he’s living there. We can’t count on the Republican Congress to monitor Trump’s conflicts. Democrats introduced a bill that would require the president to follow the same ethics laws that cover Congress and his Cabinet, but that’s not going anywhere. After meeting Trump on Tuesday, Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said he’s unlikely to investigate Trump’s potential business con-

flicts. So it’s up to the media and advocacy groups. There’s a lawsuit from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which argues that Trump is already violating the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution, which forbids government officials from receiving any gifts from foreign governments. The watchdog group’s chairman offered Wednesday to help Nordstrom if it wants to sue Trump under a California law that forbids unfair business practices. Asked about what Nordstrom calls a business decision, press secretary Sean Spicer said it was attacking Trump’s policies and he has “every right” to stand up for his family. Lawyers claimed that when Melania Trump’s lawsuit cited a “multi-year term during which Plaintiff is one of the most photographed women
in the world,” it wasn’t talking about her husband’s presidency. That’s hard to believe. Because Trump’s finances in general are such a black hole, the president and his family breed suspicion. Top House Democrat Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco called this week for the FBI to look into whether he has business ties to the Putin regime. “I want to know what the Russians have on Donald Trump,” she said. The president could put all the rumors to rest and reassure the public that he’s working for them by creating a blind trust and disclosing financial information, including the release of his income tax returns. There’s no indication he will. That’s a bad decision for him, for his family and most of all for the country he swears to serve and protect.

Our ideas of Valentine’s Day will change overtime. When we were teenagers, we thought dinner and a movie was a good way to spend it. Those who become mothers will cherish those Valentine’s Day cards that their child made in school. The point is that money does not matter. Simple ideas to do in Terre Haute are going to the park or Swope Art Museum. Spend time doing an activity that the other person likes. Valentine’s Day does not have to be expensive. It is not about the gifts we give, it is about making the other person feel loved and like they are our one in a million.

ISU wins big at home against conference foe Drake Austin Vanlandingham Reporter
ISU Communications and Marketing
Sycamores beat out Drake 84-60 on Saturday at home.
The Sycamores returned to the floor Saturday afternoon and defeated the Drake Bulldogs 84-60. Indiana State has now won back-to-back games when facing a conference opponent for the first time all season. The victory also improved their record to 10-16 on the season and 4-10 in conference play. The Sycamores found their rhythm early and continued to get better as the game went on. Sophomore center Emondre Rickman set the tone early on both ends of the floor. Rickman recorded four points and a block in the opening minutes. Rickman finished the game with eight points, nine rebounds and a career high six blocks. The big man really made his presence felt on defense. He did a great job protecting the rim for the Sycamores in the first half, making it difficult for Drake to have any confidence taking it to the rim. Drake struggled to find points in the paint all afternoon finishing with only 12. The big guys for Indiana State had a solid afternoon collectively. Forwards T.J. Bell and Brandon Murphy registered some respectable minutes off the bench; both threw down thunderous dunks that put the Hulman Center crowd in a frenzy. Junior point guard Brenton
Scott came up big in the first half also. Scott was 4-8 from the field and 2-3 from 3-point range finishing the half with 12 points. Scott was effective at facilitating the offensive attack for Indiana State. He did a good job of finding his teammates and getting them involved; he also had a pair of steals that created some points in transition for the Sycamores. Everett Clemons and Laqurious Paige were also solid first-half contributors scoring seven and five points respectively. Drake shot 10-32 (32.3) in the first half. Sophomore forward Billy Wampler led the bulldogs in scoring with 10 in the first half. The turnovers were pretty even throughout the game but proved to be costly for Drake down the stretch, allowing Indiana State to pick up 15 points off turnovers. The Sycamores continued to play effective defense in the second half, spoiling any idea of a Drake comeback. The Indiana State offense picked up where they left off in the second half. Brenton Scott hit the first basket of the half to open the scoring and Emondre Rickman picked up his fifth block of the game all within the first 1:30 of the second half. With 15:35 remaining in the game, the Sycamores were beginning to pull away. A solid team performance from behind the arch was the difference in the second half. A pair
of threes from senior forward Matt Van Soyc and Brenton Scott ignited the second-half scoring spree. Drake tried to call timeouts on several occasions to disrupt the Sycamores’ hot shooting, but it proved to be unsuccessful. Indiana State took advantage of a bad team at home. Brenton Scott was the player of the game, finishing with 20 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. The Sycamores shot the ball well with three guys in double figures and five guys making 3-point FGs. Guards Everett Clemons and Laqarious Paige had productive second halves. Clemons finished with 11 while Paige registered a career high 14 points. Its also worth noting that Jordan Barnes managed to score nine points, all from three-point range. Drake only managed to shoot 31.7 percent from the field when everything was said and done. The poor shooting performance from the Bulldog derailed their offensive plans throughout the game. Reed Timmer was Drake’s leading scorer with 15 points and Billy Wampler chipped in with 14. Indiana State has five games left remaining before Arch Madness begins and they’re wanting to go in on a high note. Indiana State will travel to Loyola on Wednesday Feb. 15 to take on the Loyola Ramblers at 8 p.m.
Softball split again after heartbreaking nine-inning loss, big 11-4 win Tyler Wooten
ISU Athletic Media Relations
Sycamore softball showed some resiliency on Day Two of the Sportco Kick Off Classic at UNLV on Saturday after coming back for a big 11-4 win over CSU Bakersfield, following a heartbreaking 6-5 loss to Louisville in nine innings in the morning. It came down to the final play of the game between the Sycamores (1-2) and Cardinals (3-0), with Kassie Brown’s laser of a cutoff throw to home plate coming microscopically too late as Louisville won on a walk-off RBI double in the ninth inning. The Sycamores jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on the 2016 NCAA Tournament Cardinals, following a two-out, two-RBI single by Brooke Riemenschneider (1-3) in the top of the first that drove in Rylee Holland and Becky Malchow. Louisville responded with one in the bottom half of the first inning and one in the bottom of the third to tie the game at 2-2 – which is where the score remained until extra innings. Much of that had to do with the dominant performance of Louisville starting pitcher Megan Hensley (2-0), who regrouped after that first inning to completely shut down the Sycamores until a walk to Gabi Carter in the top of the seventh broke a streak of 17-straight Sycamores retired. Indiana State responded in kind, though, with a marathon effort out of Minnesota transfer Kylie Stober, in relief of starter Kenzie Ihle, who left after 2.1 innings pitched. Stober carried the Sycamores the remaining sixand-a-third innings, holding the Cardinals scoreless and to three more hits the remainder of regulation. In extras, it was Indiana State who struck first. Mary Turitto laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Leslie Sims over to third, who scored on a fielder’s choice. ISU extended the lead to 4-2 following an RBI groundout by Holland that scored Kassie Brown (1-3). Louisville, however, forced a ninth inning with a two-run double to tie the game
once again in the bottom half. The Sycamores were able to tally one more in the top of the ninth following an Erika Crissman single (1-4) and Malchow scoring on an error by the right fielder, but luck was on Louisville’s side in the final frame. Stober looked to be closing the door on the Cardinals, forcing two fast pop-ups to bring Louisville down to their final out. But, Louisville had other ideas with an RBI single by winning pitcher Maryssa Becker to tie the game, and then the game-winning RBI double by starting pitcher Megan Hensley to clinch victory. The double was hit to Crissman in left field who promptly hit her cutoff, Kassie Brown, who delivered a surgical throw to Brooke Mann at the plate for a thrilling finish. It appeared to be a perfect throw and tag, but pinch runner Caitlin Ferguson slid her hand in just before getting tagged for the Louisville win. Following such a heartbreaking loss, the Sycamores (2-2) bounced back with an offensive showcase in their 11-4 win over CSU Bakersfield (0-3) – much like Day One’s sequence of a close, late loss to Virginia Tech (4-3) and then a big, offensive win over UNLV (11-5). Indiana State strung together 10 hits for their 11 runs, with 10 being earned runs. Eight of ISU’s nine in the starting lineup had at least one hit, with Leslie Sims (23, 1 RBI) and Kassie Brown (2-3, 1 RBI) posting multi-hit games. Two different Sycamores also recorded two-RBI doubles, with Brooke Mann breaking the game open with a deep fly to right field that scored Becky Malchow (15) and Brooke Riemenschneider (1-1, 3 BB) to start the game on a 2-0 Sycamore run. CSUB rallied back with a fourrun bottom of the second, but Indiana State put the game away with a massive seven-run fifth inning to take a 10-4 lead before sealing it with one more in the seventh. In that fifth inning alone the Sycamores recorded four of their 10 hits, including

Indiana State University student Brooke Moore Destroyed another school record for womens track.
Moore smashes school record while ISU finish second at Samford Invite Tyler Wooten
ISU Athletic Media Relations
Sophomore phenom Brooke Moore destroyed another Indiana State record as the Sycamore women came away the victors and the Sycamore men the team runners-up at the conclusion of the Samford Invite on Friday. When unattached athletes are removed from the results for standard Division I scoring (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1), the Sycamore women ended with a 102-85 win over Southern Miss, while the Sycamore men narrowly fell behind host Samford, 95-83. Moore, who just last week obliterated Angie Lansing’s 1998 mile record (4:50.12) by seven seconds at 4:43.04, added perhaps her most impressive resume item on Friday with her school-record performance in the 3K. Moore set a 15-second new career-best while finishing second in the race, running 9:35.60 to annihilate Nicole Lucas’ 2015 record of 9:47.59 by 12 seconds. Additionally, Moore would have broken the meet record by three seconds if not for event winner Eden Meyer of North Florida (9:31.16). Moore’s sophomore season
has been a spectacular one as she currently leads the Missouri Valley in her three signature distance events: the 800-meter (2:10.67, converted to 2:09.18 for track size, fifth all-time at Indiana State), the mile (4:43.04, school-record) and the 3K (9:35.60, school-record). Junior hurdler Patrycja Dziekonska had a career-day herself in the 60-meter hurdles. Her day started out on the right foot with a new season-best 8.66 in the prelims, but Dziekonska exploded to a new career-best 8.53 in the final to win the event for the Sycamore women. That time improves on her standing in third all-time at Indiana State (her previous best was 8.59), and she currently ranks fifth in the Valley. The Sycamore women’s 4x400-meter relay continued its excellent season as well with another win. The quartet of Oschtisha Jackson, Alethia Marrero, Imani Davis and Ahmannah Woods ran 3:47.59 for the victory. Marrero kept up her success in the 400-meter dash as well, finishing runner-up for eight points at a season-best 56.29. The Sycamore women also kept the success in the field at
a high level this week. Senior transfer Kaitlyn Moricz continued her torrid pace these last few weeks, winning the pole vault at yet another career-best height of 3.90m (1209.50). She still ranks sixth all-time in school history, but she now ranks second in the Missouri Valley this year. After not clearing a bar in the season-opener at home in the Terre Haute Double Dual, Moricz has gone on to clear in succession 3.70m (12-01.50), 3.81m (12-06.00), 3.85m (1207.50) and now 3.90m (1209.50). Similarly, sophomore transfer Caitlyn Redmon had another productive week in the women’s long jump. Redmon won at a near season-best leap of 5.81m (19-00.75), which capped a very impressive field series for the sophomore.
