The NY, NJ, and CT kids LOVE coming to the midwest for some reason, I'm not quite sure why.

Because 9 of the 12 Big Ten schools are considered "public ivies".

They all get rejected from their dream East Coast Ivy League school and flock to the Midwest so they can return home for the holidays and say "oh yeah ... well my campus has sports!" to their betters.
 
Any updates from the local news herman, it looks like you live in Bloomigton right? I am seeing these stories about the altercation between a guy she was with and some other guys. College housing, especially apartments, is shit, pure shit. This should be resolved on way or another, at least they had cameras.

Its pathetic, all you heard around the news and cafes and bars in DC this week until I left this morning was about "weinergate". I will never forget that last guy screaming out the question at that press conference to Representative Weiner, "were you erect?"

Unreal. So many important news stories and all anyone can talk about in DC is weinergate. I hate DC int he summer, just a vile city, way too hot.
 
Did someone say Weiner?

Common, it's a fucking Congressman named Weiner who sent pictures of his weiner.

Then he lied and acted like a complete tool for a week, then cried about his poor decision making. No shit.

The news media loves a story like this.

He'll probably end up President some day, watch.

Potato, I am not from the Midwest, but you couldn't be more wrong on a few of those big ten schools.

Purdues computer science programs is one of the best in the country and I would hire an engineer from wisconsin's engineering program or any public school around here where I live like Maryland or a Virginia techs engineering program any day of the week than most Ivies outside of Harvard or maybe Princeton. Northwestern and penn state are not too shabby as well. The ivy league is not the dominant force academically and certainly not in athletics it once was , which schools like Duke and Stanford seem to do both pretty well.

The ivy league's reputation is not deserved by many of the schools that inhabit it, any so called elite conference of schools that doesnt include Stanford isnt an elite conference.

off topic here, sorry.

Purdue, Northwestern, Univ of Illinois, IU, UChicago, Loyola, Case Western are all really good schools. That's off the top of my head, and there are some more, I'm sure.

No, just interested because I went to school there. Haven't lived there for a few years
 
BLOOMINGTON, Ind - As a $100,000 reward is offered in the search for missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer of Edgemont, a lawyer says police have searched the car, credit card records and cellphone of a fellow student who was with her for much of the night and was punched during a confrontation.

Robert Spierer thanked the hundreds of volunteers who have been searching Bloomington and surrounding areas for his daughter and urged them to continue today. He said tips on the case could be called in to Bloomington police anonymously.

“I’m asking local landowners to check their fields, the woods, their barns, and to call the police if they need help,” he said today during the daily Bloomington police briefing on the search. “Anything small could be something big.”

Meanwhile Bloomington police Lt. Bill Parker said there is little new to report about the case.

“I do not have any great revelations,” he said. “There’s a heck of a lot of information coming in, and that’s what we want.”

The 20-year-old woman has been missing since Friday after a long night of partying with friends from Indiana University.

Parker would not comment or answer questions about surveillance video footage from Lauren Spierer’s apartment building that her father said show her and several men in an argument the morning she disappeared.

“Lauren was not involved in any altercation,” he said, but would not elaborate or comment further. He said police are “looking into everything we can, whether it’s video or people talking to us.”

Police have said Lauren Spierer and a man were seen leaving a nearby bar around 2:30 a.m. Friday, just before they entered her nearby apartment building, known as Smallwood Plaza. The pair are seen on video leaving the building about 10 minutes later. Police said they walked a few blocks to another building, where Spierer stayed until about 4:30 a.m., when she decided to return home, alone.

She never made it.

The Journal News reported last night that Corey Rossman, Spierer's companion early Friday, was punched in the face during a confrontation after the two returned to Smallwood Plaza.

"At Smallwood, someone confronted them," said his lawyer, former Monroe County District Attorney Carl Salzmann.

"He got punched in the face. He has no memory of that, or of the 15 minutes leading to that moment," Salzmann said. "The first memory he has is the next morning when he wakes up in his bed, and that's corroborated by several people."

Salzmann said today that Rossman was punched at least once and possibly twice, based on the bruising to his face. Despite his claim of memory loss, Rossman still has not been checked by a doctor, the lawyer said.

The lawyer also said a second confrontation, at Rossman’s building, took place a couple of days after Spierer went missing, when other students confronted him.

Salzmann said today that police have now searched Rossman’s Jeep Grand Cherokee, credit card records, and cellphone, and that Rossman has cooperated with those searches.

He said Rossman had only known Spierer for “a very short time.” He did not elaborate.

Spierer's roommate, Hadar Tamir, said she and Spierer met him two weeks ago, through mutual friends, at the Indy 500 race.

"We literally met him once," she said, as she and another friend who lives in their building, 20-year-old Amanda Roude of Chappaqua, were rejoining the search this afternoon. She last saw Spierer about 12:30 a.m. Friday, Tamir said, in their apartment.

Roude said Lauren’s boyfriend, Jesse Wolff, 21, of Port Washington, Long Island, became worried Friday morning after she did not respond to text messages he sent to her cellphone. She'd left her phone - and her shoes - in a bar before she disappeared.

“He was waiting for her to text him, to say come over and hang out," Roude said. "Jesse was really worried. He went to Hadar's’ class to get her key."

She said Wolff was not part of the circle of friends Spierer had been with the night she disappeared.

“He was a protective boyfriend because he loved her a lot,” she said.

“Her boyfriend loves her more than anyone in this world," Tamir said. "Every time I see him I just want to cry.”

Salzmann, the lawyer, said after Spierer accompanied Rossman home to his apartment, Rossman’s roommate put him to bed.

The lawyer said Spierer was seen by at least two other people after leaving Rossman’s apartment.

He said Rossman was not the witness police said saw Spierer rounding a corner on her way home.

A neighbor at Rossman’s building, Keith Turner, identified the man who reported seeing Spierer last as another neighbor who is good friends with Rossman.
