Dr. Gina Loudon is the guest on The Palin Radio Update with Kevin Scholla! Loudon recently appeared on Wife Swap and as expected the liberal program attempted to make her look bad for being a conservative Christian, even though the other family consisted of a couple that shares a girlfriend. Dr. Gina tells Kevin why she went on the show and why she believes we must infiltrate pop culture just like Sarah Palin has suggested. Governor Palin is loaded for bear! A new SarahPAC video has been released. Plus Palin remembers a fallen hero and delivers messages for Passover and Good Friday. Steel Resolve, our weekly commentary with Sarah Steelman is featured as well.
Wife Swap Episode Featuring Loudons, Envys

"We knew what were were signing up for," Dr. Gina Loudon said about Wife Swap, an ABC reality show, she and her husband John participated in. According to the show's producer, "In this new series, the mothers in two celebrity families with vastly diverse values switch homes (but not bedrooms) — embarking on a journey like no other and revealing the various ways some controversial celebrities live their lives." Conservatives "need to take on the culture," said Dr. Gina, co-author of Ladies and Gentlemen: Why the Survival of our Republic Depends on the Revival of Honor. "We need to be on the front lines of the culture conversation," she said adding that John and her prayed long and hard before going on the show.
People Can See Through the Edits
"We knew there would be edits, but we also knew people would see through it," Dr. Gina said. The comments on the show's episode page appear to bear out her assertion. Despite portraying the polyamorous family with whom the Loudons were swapped as heroes and the Loudons as "right-wing extremist nuts," comments toward the polyamorous Envy family are running highly negative. Dr. Gina said she could not discuss the reasons why the Loudons did not go to the round-table meeting that concludes the Wife Swap episodes, for contractual reasons but said she would divulge as much as possible on her own show throughout the week.
"I was thrown out," she said. She used the "pearls before swine" analogy and continued, "sometimes you say what you have to say. It's either falling on open minds and hearts…I wasn't getting through…conservatives need to know when to say when and how to spend time wisely."
Scholla said, "the guy they paired you with had all sorts of anger issues and called you all kinds of profane names. Him and his wife shared a girlfriend. I thought it was their daughter at first." Indeed, many of the negative comments on the episode's page are related to the polyamorous husband's behavior toward Dr. Gina, and the women in his life — even among leftists who panned Dr. Gina and the Tea Party.
Rush Limbaugh on Dr. Gina's Portrayal on Wife Swap
If we Don't Take Risks, we are Certain to Lose
"I take Rush's comparison of me to Gov. Palin as a compliment, but disagree with Rush about staying out of the culture. We need to engage. We might win, we might lose, but we have to take risks. We are certain to lose if we don't do it," Dr. Gina said. "They will always laugh and criticize conservatives….People are now talking about this who weren't talking about politics before. I think that's a good thing."
Don't Have to Compromise Conviction to be Compassionate
Dr. Gina said her quote "if you can't defend your rights, you don't have any rights" was quoted back to her at least a dozen times, so it's resonating. "If you aren't offending somebody, you aren't saying anything," she said. She harkened back to Pastor Rick Warren who said the following two statements are lies: "if you disagree with someone's culture or lifestyle, you must fear or hate them," and "to love means you agree with everything they believe or do." Both are wrong, Dr. Gina said. "You don't have to compromise conviction to be compassionate, and we can love people even if we disagree."
Scholla noted that on the episode "saying anything about homosexuality was no good, but mocking Christ as a 'comic book figure' was just fine." He continued that Mr. Envy — the wrestler husband — was shocked about Dr. Gina's rules — "no one tells my kids what to do!" — but he signed up for that by doing the show. As part of Wife Swap, the swapped wives draw up rules for how the house runs during their stay there.
We Must Be Culture Warriors
Dr. Gina said there was a lot of editing on both sides. For instance, the polyamorous wife laughed at a lot of John Loudon's jokes. The job of a reality show producer is to entertain, Dr. Gina said, not to be accurate. "We have to know that and not be afraid to laugh at ourselves." She said it is not fair for Palinistas to compliment Gov. Palin for being a culture warrior and not be culture warriors ourselves.
Scholla said the narration of the show was dishonest — for instance the "inconsistencies" in Dr. Gina's record and in John Loudon breaking a rule that was never broken. Dr. Gina said she thinks Mr. Envy was emotionally and mentally abusive — something the negative comments on the show's page also extensively point to. "There were definite differences in how he runs his household and how I do," she said. "John helps around the house, and I'm used to that." Dr. Gina described her Wife Swap experience as being a culture clash. "No one seeks to live in an uncomfortable situation. That part of Reality TV is very real."
Scholla also pointed out that the polyamorous wife who was paired with John Loudon barred all talk of religion and politics in the house. Mrs. Envy's husband, meanwhile never voted in his life. "Not merely a low-information voter but a no-information voter," Scholla said.
Differences About Citizen Engagement, Not Family Structure, Relationships
"When you are here and enjoying the freedoms — which by the way he (the polyamorous husband) was enjoying — because of this Constitution and the teeth it has because of the Second Amendment, it's his obligation as a citizen to be involved…take part…and be able to speak about it in coherent terms," Dr. Gina said.
She said the greatest difference between the two families was not family structure and relationships as the show led viewers to believe, rather it was the difference in attitudes toward civic involvement and engagement.
"To each his own. I respect the right for people to have freedom of religion, but you have to the responsibility to know where those freedoms are based. That's what I was trying to get through about the Constitution and the Second Amendment. With that piece of paper, he has the freedoms he was trying to get me to condone. It's not my business to condone it, but without the Second Amendment, that piece of paper has no teeth," Dr. Gina said.
"The conversation became circular. Why was it okay to say 'no' to politics and religion but not okay to say 'no' to polygamy?" Dr. Gina asked, following up with, "Liberals will use this. We need to be prepared, not afraid."
Scholla chuckled that Dr. Gina — who adopted a child with Down Syndrome — was called "evil" He said, "Dr. Gina kept her cool and didn't flinch, while the wrestler dude screamed at a woman." He said Dr. Gina was very "Palinesque."
Change Happens When Lives Touch, People Communicate
Dr. Gina said she did not get to the meet either Mrs. Envy or the girlfriend. "I wish those women all the best. I saw some changes were made. It always happens when lives touch and people communicate."
No Issue is an Island
Scholla asked when gay marriage suddenly became the most important issue. Dr. Gina said no issue can be isolated — ultimately, they are all inter-related. Gay marriage has economic implications. So does abortion, especially when taxpayer funding is involved.
"Sarah Palin has illustrated how we can engage the culture," Dr. Gina said, adding that Reality TV is a "fertile battleground," in which to do that and "we have an obligation to fight.
Steel Resolve: Politics, Supreme Court Decisions Doth Make Strange Bedfellows
"Politics makes strange bedfellows as they say and sometimes so does the Supreme Court justices," Sarah Steelman said as she opened her Steel Resolve segment. "Thankfully, there are conservatives who still believe in protecting our Fourth Amendment rights. The Supreme Court correctly ruled this week that using a drug sniffing police dog on a suspect's property without a warrant violates the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches."
Steelman continued, "Scalia was joined in the majority by Justices Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonya Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer all dissented. The ruling said there is an expectation of privacy in your home and police officers can't bring a trained drug sniffing dog to your front door. They have to obtain a warrant first."
"'When it comes to the Fourth amendment the home is first among equals,' Justice Scalia wrote. This right would be of little practical value if the states agents could stand at a home's front porch or side garden and trawl for evidence with impunity which is what the Miami-Dade police force were doing in this case with trained dogs." She concluded, "it is good to say that at least two conservatives Justices Thomas and Scalia were not afraid to join with the liberals on the court when it comes to protecting the Bill of Rights. Like I said, sometimes politics or Supreme Court decisions make strange bedfellows."

Holy Cross Wins Tenth Tournament Title: Top-seeded Holy Cross won its 10th all-time Patriot League Tournament title after defeating sixth-seeded Colgate, 79-70, Wednesday, March 9 at the Hart Center. The Crusaders have won more tournament titles than all other Patriot League teams combined (Fordham 2, Lehigh 1, Bucknell 1, Colgate 1). Since its inception in 1982, Holy Cross has won 11 regular season titles and 10 tournament titles, and earned 11 trips to the NCAA Tournament.
Holy Cross Captures 11th League Title: Holy Cross claimed its 11th all-time Patriot League regular season title two weeks ago after finishing the 2004-2005 regular season campaign with a 12-2 conference record. The last time Holy Cross won the regular season title was during the 2002-2003 season when the Crusaders went 24-8, won the PL Tournament, and earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Seeding: Holy Cross received a 15 seed in the Philadelphia Region in this year's NCAA tournament. Holy Cross has been a 15 seed twice before, most recently in 2000. That year, #2 Rutgers defeated the Crusaders, 91-70 at Rutgers on March 17. Holy Cross was also a 15 seed in the 1996 Tournament when #2 Old Dominion downed the Crusaders, 83-56 to advance in the East region. The highest draw Holy Cross has ever received in the modern 64-team tournament was a 13 seed during the 2002-2003 campaign when they matched-up with fourth-seeded Penn State (24-8) at University Park, Pa. The Nittany Lions defeated HC, 64-33.
HC's Last Dance: Lisa Andrews scored a team-high 10 points, blocked four shots and grabbed three rebounds to lead the Crusaders in Holy Cross' 64-33 loss to fourth-seeded Penn State, March 22, 2003 in Pennsylvania. Katie O'Keefe (`03) added nine points and five rebounds and Maggie Fontana tallied six points, six rebounds and four steals for HC. Penn State took a 38-16 lead into the half and held the Crusaders to just 22.8% from the field for the game. Kelly Mazzante poured in a game-high 27 points and pulled down eight rebounds for the Nittany Lions. Jessica Drungo added 12 points and eight rebounds and Tamisha Wright chipped in 10 points, four rebounds and four assists for PSU which shot 41.9% on the afternoon.
HC vs. The BIG TEN: Holy Cross has a 2-9 all-time record against Big Ten opponents, and is 2-8 vs. the Big Ten under Bill Gibbons. The Crusaders' most recent match-up with a Big Ten school was a 64-33 loss to Penn State in the 2003 NCAA Tournament at University Park, Pa. HC's only two wins over Big Ten opponents both came against Michigan (1985, 71-63; 2001, 62-58).
The Patriot League vs. the Big Ten: Sunday's Holy Cross/Ohio State match-up will be the first Patriot League/Big Ten tilt of the 2004-2005 campaign.
Last Time Out Against Ohio State: The last time Holy Cross and Ohio State met, the Buckeyes rolled to a 102-60 win to advance to the Second Round of the 1985 NCAA Tournament. Cheryl Aaron led the way for the Crusaders with a game-high 22 points and seven rebounds. Janet Hourihan added 12 points and seven rebounds for HC (21-7). Ohio State had six players reach double-figures. Yvette Angel had 18 points, Jodi Roth had 17, Tracey Hall recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, Toni Roesch added 11 points and Liana Coutte and Rhonda Wintera both chipped in 10 points for the Buckeyes (27-2).
The Cross - The Championship: Holy Cross has a 30-5 all-time record in Patriot League Tournament play and is 10-2 all-time in PL championship games, including this year's title.
Bouncing Back: After last year's disappointing 13-15 mark, and the school's first losing season since joining Division I in 1982, the Holy Cross women's basketball team earned its 11th NCAA Tournament berth. Despite being knocked out of the first round of the Patriot League Tournament last season, the Crusaders were voted to win this year's conference crown. Last Wednesday's nine point win over Colgate in the championship game gave Holy Cross it's 10th all-time Patriot League tournament title and its sixteenth 20-win season under head coach Bill Gibbons.
Sixteen 20-win Seasons: With a 20-10 overall mark this year, Holy Cross recorded its sixteenth 20-win season under the direction of head coach Bill Gibbons. Here is a look at the success of Holy Cross over the past 20 years:
% MAAC Championship Title (1)
* Patriot League Regular Season Titles (11)
# Patriot League Championship Titles (9)
@ NCAA 1st Round (9)
$ NCAA 2nd Round (1)
^ WNIT 1st Round (1)
! Patriot League Coach of the Year (6)
RPI: Holy Cross' current RPI is 134 while its strength of schedule ranks 258, according to www.collegerpi.com.
BOTTOM LINE: Winners of 14 of its last 16 games, Holy Cross is on a three-game winning streak, and had rattled off 10 straight wins earlier this season. HC's 10 straight wins was its longest winning streak since the 2002-03 season (12), when the Crusaders received a 13-seed - its best ever - in the NCAA Tournament.
30 for 20: It took 30 games for this year's squad to reach the 20-win plateau, which is the seventh fastest game span for a Gibbons-coached HC team to accomplish that feat.
Twice As Nice: This is the sixth time in the 14-year history of the Patriot League that one school captured the regular season title in both men's and women's basketball. The last time the Purple and White won regular season titles in both men's and women's hoop was during the 2002-03 season, when the HC teams captured regular season titles with identical 13-1 marks. Holy Cross also ran the table in 2000-01 with the men recording a 10-2 mark and the women boasting an 11-1 record. Fordham also won two regular season titles in the same year when it was a member of the Patriot League. During the 1991-92 season, the Fordham men posted an 11-3 mark and the women finished 12-2. The Rams did it again during the 1993-94 campaign when the Rams captured the women's title outright, while the men's team tied with three other schools for a share of the league championship with a record of 9-5. In 1997-98, Navy tied for the league title on both the men's and women's side with 10-2 marks. The Navy women tied with Holy Cross, while the men tied with Lafayette.
A Winning Combination: This season, the Holy Cross men's and women's basketball teams combined for a 25-3 conference record, placing them in the company of other great HC squads.

The Crusaders are on a four-game winning streak going into Sunday's noon-time match-up with the Buckeyes, but own just a 1-9 all-time record in NCAA tournament play. Ohio State (24-8) is coming off a heartbreaking 66-63 overtime loss to Minnesota in the Big Ten Tournament on March 6. The Buckeyes enjoyed a 14-game winning streak this season before dropping a four point decision to Michigan State. OSU also had an eight-game winning streak going earlier in the year before a seven point loss to Penn State in December.
Last Time Out: Maggie Fontana scored 16 points, including a 10-for-10 performance from the free throw line and fellow senior Lisa Andrews added 16 points and seven rebounds to lead top-seeded Holy Cross to its 10th all-time PL Tournament title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament with a 79-70 win over Colgate on March 9.

In the second, HC jumped out to a 16 point lead (57-41) after a Bush drive with 10:28 remaining, but the Raiders mounted a comeback and got within two (59-57) thanks to an Allison Lipinski trey with 7:06 left. With less than four minutes to go, the Raiders had tied the game twice, but two Fontana free throws put the Crusaders up four (70-66) with 2:10 remaining.
With 41.0 seconds left, Fontana drained two free throws to put HC up 74-70. Fontana then stole Colgate's inbounds pass after a timeout with less than 30 seconds to go, and nailed two more free throws, extending the Crusaders' lead to six (76-70).
Emily Braseth scored a game-high 21 points for Colgate, which finished its season, 12-18.
Next Time Out: The winner of today's first round contest will play the winner of the No. 7 Maryland and No. 10 UW-Green Bay game on Tuesday, March 22 in College Park, Md.
Scouting The Buckeyes: Ohio State finished the season with a 24-8 overall record and a 14-2 mark in conference play. This year's No. 2 seeding for OSU is the second highest in the program's history. The 1992-93 Final Four team was a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Buckeyes, who have made the tournament each of the last three seasons, reached NCAA postseason play for the 14th time in team history. Ohio State is 15-13 all-time in the NCAA tournament. Last season in the NCAA tournament, Ohio State, a No.6 seed, downed No. 11 West Virginia, 73-67, before suffering a 63-48 loss to No. 3 seed Boston College in the second round. The Buckeyes are led by 6-foot-4 sophomore center Jessica Davenport who leads the team in scoring (19.3 ppg), rebounds (9.1 rpg) and blocks (109). She also shoots almost 80% from the charity stripe and hits better than 59% of her shots from the field. Five-foot-nine senior guard Caity Matter is second on the team in scoring with a 13.4 ppg average. She has 75 assists on the season and pulls down 2.9 rebounds each contest. Five-foot-nine sophomore guard Brandie Hoskins leads the Buckeyes in assists with 118 this season. Hoskins is also third on the squad in scoring at a 12.9 ppg clip. Hoskins also has 35 steals this season and grabs 2.9 boards per game.
Holy Cross in Patriot League Play: Holy Cross finished the regular season at the top of the Patriot League standings with a 12-2 conference mark. Twentieth-year head coach Bill Gibbons has compiled a 165-31 (.841) record in Patriot League play, including HC's 12 wins this year. Gibbons also has six Patriot League Coach of the Year awards and has led his teams to 11 regular season titles and 10 championship titles.
Strength In Numbers: As a team, the Crusaders finished the season ranked first in seven of 19 team categories among the Patriot League statistics. HC was tops in scoring margin, free throw percent, field goal percent, field goal percent defense, three-point percent defense, assists and steals. The Crusaders were also ranked second in scoring offense and turnover margin and third in scoring defense, blocked shots and assist-to-turnover ratio.
Unchartered Territory: The Crusaders' 72-71 loss to Bucknell on February 23 marked the first time all season long that Holy Cross outrebounded its opponent and lost. The Crusaders had been a perfect 8-0 in games when they grabbed more boards than their opponents, but despite pulling down two more rebounds than Bucknell (43-41), the Bison came out on top. The 72-71 loss also marked the first time this year that HC scored 70+ points and lost. The Crusaders had been 6-0 in games where they put up more than 70 points prior to last Wednesday's defeat.
Tough 'D': Holy Cross is 11-0 when holding its opponents to 60 points or less this season. The Crusaders have held seven opponents to 50 points or less thus far, including a three-game streak where the Purple and White held three consecutive opponents to 48 points. The Crusaders are also 16-2 when they force 20+ turnovers. HC In The National Statistics: According to the latest release (March 7), Holy Cross is ranked in the Top 20 nationally in assists per game with 16.9 (19th). Leading the nation in assists per game is DePaul (19.6), one of the Crusaders opponents earlier this year. HC is also ranked in the Top 50 in two other categories. The Purple and White are 29th in free throw percent (74.4%) behind national leader Idaho State (78.5) and are 34th in steals per game (11.0) behind national leader North Carolina at 14.0.
Finding Their Stride: The following is a month-by-month breakdown of the way the Crusaders have played this season: (month, record, ppg)
March: 3-0, 75.0
February: 5-2, 69.0
January: 7-2, 63.8
December: 2-4, 57.7
November: 3-2, 71.0
400 Club: Holy Cross head coach Bill Gibbons continues to move up the history charts, having picked up his 413th career win last Wednesday after a 79-70 win over #6 Colgate in the Patriot League championship game. Gibbons is the winningest basketball coach (men's or women's) in the history of Holy Cross. The 20th year coach is also currently ranked 37th among active Division I women's basketball coaches by number of victories.
Andrews, Keil Named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America: Lisa Andrews and Brittany Keil were named to the 2005 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Women's Basketball District I Team (Feb.17). Andrews was selected to the First Team with a 3.64 gpa, while Keil represents Holy Cross on the Second Team with a 3.96 gpa. Holy Cross was the only school in District I with two players named to the Academic All-America squad. A total of ten players from District I were selected.
Fontana Sets New HC Mark: Maggie Fontana's consecutive free throw streak ended at 33 at Lafayette on February 11 when the 5-foot-11 guard/forward went 7-for-8 from the line on the night. Fontana fell one free throw shy of tying the all-time Patriot League record of 34 consecutive free throws. Fontana's 33 straight foul shots across a seven-game span, did however, set a new HC women's basketball record, crushing the previous record of 23 consecutive set by Beth Godfrey during the 1992-1993 season.
Fontana Takes Fourth Slot: With her eight rebounds in the PL championship game last week, Maggie Fontana moved into a fourth-place tie with Phyllis Townsend ('84) and Norinne Powers ('93) on Holy Cross' all-time rebounding list. The Illinois native currently has 762 rebounds and leads the team in rebounding with 5.6 per outing. Amy O'Brien ('99) occupies the third slot with 963 boards.
Hot Hands: Holy Cross is 3-0 when shooting 50% or better, and is 2-0 when it scores 80 or more points (vs. Colgate 80-74, vs. Iona 89-46). The Crusaders' best shooting performance of the year was 61.4% against Iona in November. HC also shot better than 54% against Colgate on February 19 and converted on 51.7% of its shots versus Army on January 12.
Getting To The Line: The Crusaders are tops among PL teams (all games and conference games) in team free throw percent, and boast an 14-2 record when they record more free throw attempts than their opponents. The Crusaders' 21 made free throws against Bucknell on February 23 tied a season high (Colgate, 2/19/05) for The Cross. HC's 87% (20-for-23) performance from the line against American (2/6/05) was its second best perfomance (93.8%; 15-for-16 vs. Boston College) this season.
Sharpshooters: Holy Cross ranked third among Patriot League teams in three-point shooting percent (all games 33.6%). Sophomore Brittany Keil finished the season ranked first (all games), shooting 42.3% (47 for 58) from behind the arc and junior Jessica Conte ranked fifth at 36.5% (31 for 85).
From the Charity Stripe: As a team, Holy Cross finished the season ranked first from the foul line, shooting a League-best 75.4% (conference games only) and 73.4% across all games. Maggie Fontana was second in the Patriot League at 85.9% (55-for-64) and leads the team with an 82.0% rate (100-for-122). Lisa Andrews ranked third in foul shooting in Patriot League games, shooting an impressive 81.8% (36-for-44). Brittany Keil is second on the team in free throws at 81.0% (47-for-58). Through 30 games, Crusader players have made good on 405 of 552 attempts.
Block Party: Lisa Andrews ranked second in blocked shots in overall games among PL players. She was also third in PL games in the same category. The 6-foot-4 center turned away a team-leading 51 shots this season. Andrews is averaging 1.70 blocks per game. She finished last season ranked 21st in the country with 2.5 blocks per outing.
Battle of the Boards: The Crusaders are 11-1 when outrebounding their opponents, and are 10-9 when their opponents win the battle of the boards. The Crusaders have been outrebounded in 19 of 30 games this season, including a streak of eight straight games earlier this season where HC opponents pulled down more boards. HC's 50 rebounds against Colgate in last week's conference championship game tied for season-high honors. The Crusaders also grabbed 50 caroms at American on January 23.
Andrews Joins HC Elite: On February 13 at Lehigh, Lisa Andrews became the 21st player in HC women's basketball history to score 1,000 career points. Going into the game, Andrews needed just two points to reach the 1,000 point plateau and scored her milestone basket on a jumper just 5:33 into the game. The 6-foot-3 center finished the contest with a game-high 21 points, and currently has 1,097 for her career.
Re-Writing The Record Books: On Sunday, January 30, Maggie Fontana converted 11-of-11 foul shots, breaking the Holy Cross women's basketball single-game record. The previous best was a 10-for-10 performance by Beth Godfrey vs. Indiana on January 3, 1993. Fontana's 11 free throws also marked a new Patriot League single-game high this season. Fontana then tied Godfrey's mark last week in the PL Tournament game, hitting 10-of-10 free throws on her way to 16 points and All-Tournament team honors.
Records to Watch: Maggie Fontana is moving up in a number of all-time Holy Cross statistics lists. Fontana is currently sixth in scoring with 1,554 points, ranked third in steals with 251, tied for fourth in rebounds (762) and ranked seventh in assists (418). Fontana is also steadily climbing the all-time Patriot League charts in a number of categories. She is currently tied for eighth in assists (418), ranked 11th in rebounds (762), and is 10th in points (1,554). Lisa Andrews is ranked second in both all-time Patriot League and all-time Holy Cross history with 197 career blocks.
Family Affair: Maggie Fontana is the fourth in a string of relatives to attend Holy Cross. Her father, John, graduated from The Cross in 1972 while Maggie's uncle, William, finished in 1974. Her paternal grandfather, John Fontana, a former football player, graduated in 1948.
2004-2005 Weekly Honors: Jessica Conte earned her first career Patriot League Player of the Week award (Feb. 21) after coming off the bench to pump in a team-high and a career-high 18 points against Colgate (Feb.19). Maggie Fontana earned her first Player of the Week award on January 31 after putting up 17.5 points and 7.5 rebounds against Lafayette and Lehigh. Lisa Andrews has earned two Player of the Week awards (January 17, November 22) and Laura Aloisi was named Rookie of the Week (Nov. 29) after her performances in the Iona (six assists, three steals), UAB (career-high 14 points), and UMass games (career-high 11 assists).
Double Trouble: Seniors Maggie Fontana and Lisa Andrews are the only two HC players who have recorded double-doubles this season. Both Fontana and Andrews came up three double-doubles this season, each picking up double-doubles in Patriot League tournament play.
2004-2005 Holy Cross Double-Double Performances: (opponent, points, rebounds)
Andrews: Navy (3/5), 14, 13
American (1/23), 17, 13
Siena (12/9), 12, 10
Fontana: Lafayette (3/3), 17, 10
Bucknell (2/23), 18, 14
2004-2005 Captains: Seniors Caitlin Agostinacchio, Lisa Andrews, and Maggie Fontana are the 2004-2005 Holy Cross captains. Agostinacchio, a two-sport athlete for the Crusaders, had a stellar senior campaign in volleyball this season. A 5-foot-9 outside hitter, Agostinacchio recorded 396 kills, giving her 1,063 for her career, which is a school-best. She also tallied 250 digs (908 career). Andrews and Fontana were both First Team All-Patriot League selections this season, and earned All-Tournament team accolades this postseason. Both players are members of the 1,000 point club.

Ok - first REAL design!!
Sat down with Damo - stitch cards, pen and paper and have designed my first cardigan. Did the swatch on 17 April 2001 but then ended up travelling a lot for work so this project lay dormant for quite a few weeks.
Saved by a wisdom tooth operation....five days off work in the house with a "fat head" meant I nailed the project!
The front and back stitch is "Ladder Tile" a 20 row repeat pattern (mult. 12)
Sleeves were a 5 x 2 rib
I knitted the body flat but the sleeves in the round. In hindsight, I would have done the whole thing in the round.
Coco inspired for one of the biggest, beefiest, kings of high camp! I am really happy with the results.
I gave it to him and he went straight out to the bars to show it off :) success!!
|Camping it up!!
Okay...I'll comment on the pose. Yowza! Looks as if he had fun showing off a great cardie. Congratulations. The fact he wanted to show it off in the bars is a Big compliment. Great design and knitting. Cheers. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Oh, I thought that was you. haha great sweater though.
Thanks Boys,
I still cant beleive that no one commented on his camp "fashion pose". He wanted to do a fashion shoot which was just too funny!
Wisdom teeth - yuck. Sweater - great! I like the style, and the fit seems perfect; I hope I get to the point where I dare take on a project like that!
I like the ladder tile repeat. It adds a nice texture to the larger flat areas that are common in other sweaters. Very handsome!
Very smart looking cardie, you should be proud of it.
"Success" is right! It is a very sophisticated and classy cardie. I like the pattern and especially the brown with the gray. The sleeve joins look perfect.
I see you're just across the Tasman from me. If you're ever in Hobbit country, let me know.
Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on. ~Billy Connolly
Great design, Paul! The fit looks perfect, too.
That is a lovely cardigan.
Classy! Great job!
Very stylish and sleek looking. I like it very much. Congrats on finishing it up and sorry on the dental work.

yes she does she is too good of a actress for all this stupid nonsense with that no account l. she can act give her some thing to do other than this crap with hope not worth watching
Quote flocon123: Proud of Steffy!
I am too - I didn't like her at first, when she was all about gunning for the Logans, but she has really matured. And I'm glad she gave Liam and Hope time together, and is keeping the whole baby thing quiet until Liam makes up his mind.
Quote Nicoletta:
Quote mg1729:
Quote saclean:
Quote Ktkatz10: I just want Steffi away from Liam.
I would like that too. I want her to decide that she is better than Liam, and she can be a mother on her own. I just want Liam to pick Steffy, and then dump him and feel good about it. Also, I want Hope to be miserable because of it. It would be a win win for me.
That's an awesome idea
Well I was a Steam fan but I gotta say if Liam does this based on Hope's suggestion then that is it for me. Steffy deserves so much more than what he is giving. I can't wait until he finds out that Steffy is pregnant and he will have to face what he lost because of Ho jr.
I also want Steffy to have nothing to do with him like before when he would go looking for her turning up in his office, I want her to tell him he has hurt her too many times she doesn't want to have anything to do with him, I think that will hit Liam harder than he realises becauses Steffy has been through everything for him.
Steffy deserves better than the way Liam is treating her.
JMW deserves better storylines than the current ones as she is an amazingly talented actress and Mr Bell should be counting his blessings that she is still working on B&B and hasn't moved on to bigger career moves which is destined for 💜💜💜
steffy will be a great mom. Keep steffy and baby spencer away from Pinkie and the Brain
Steffy is beautiful and she has inner beauty as well she is an amazing person 🌺💐💜💜
Steffy deserve happiness she will be an awesome mum and business woman she is the only one on the show that can be awesome at both please make sure Steffy and her baby/babies are safely brought into the world 👏🌹💜💜💛
steffy is all woamn. This character is just awesome to watch. She just needs to get over Boy Waffler

Supreme Court declines second Duke lacrosse appeal
For the second time in about a month, the U.S. Supreme Court has turned down a request that it review a lower-court ruling in the Duke lacrosse case.
On Tuesday morning the justices announced that they'd rejected an appeal from a trio of former Duke University men's lacrosse players represented by Durham lawyer Bob Ekstrand.
The three -- Ryan McFadyen, Breck Archer, and Matt Wilson -- wanted the justices to overturn part of a North Carolina law that allows judges to order people to give DNA samples.
They and their teammates on the 2005-06 Duke men's lacrosse team faced a police investigation in 2006 after a stripper, Crystal Mangum, falsely claimed she'd been raped at a team party.
Police obtained DNA from most members or the team after securing a court order requiring the sampling. Ekstrand and his clients say the state improperly allows testing without forcing authorities to show there's probable cause to believe each target of a test may have committed a crime.
Tuesday's decision by the Supreme Court came four days after the justices discussed the case during a closed-door conference. A published order said Justice Samuel Alito didn't take any part in the discussion.
Four justices had to support granting review for the case to have received a full hearing.
In October, the court also rejected an appeal from three members of the 2005-06 team who'd been indicted and eventually exonerated of rape charges.
Both decisions left intact a December 2012 ruling from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that sharply narrowed the scope of the players' lawsuits against the city.
Combined, the 4th Circuit and Supreme Court decisions leave Ekstrand's clients only a catch-all claim, arising under the North Carolina constitution, against the city that officials in 2006 violated their state-granted civil rights.
Ekstrand's clients also have claims pending against Duke University. All other members of the 2005-06 team who'd filed suit have settled with Duke out of court.
That includes a third group of 38 former players who in late August told a judge they also intended to drop their claims against the city unless the Supreme Court took the appeal from Ekstrand's clients.
The 4th Circuit allowed the indicted-but-exonerated players -- David Evans, Colin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann -- to pursue a common-law maliciious-prosecution claim against the two police detectives who investigated the case.

Falmouth hockey rink proposal gets lukewarm reception from existing arena
FALMOUTH — A $1.3 million plan to add a new ice hockey rink on Hat Trick Drive is gaining momentum, but the effort has also generated increased scrutiny from operators of the town's existing skating rink.
On March 13, the board of directors of Falmouth Family Ice sent a letter to the town seeking eight provisions that would limit direct competition from Casco Bay Hockey Association, the group that hopes to build a new, open-air, pavilion-style rink to replace a flagging, town-owned outdoor rink at Village Park.
Family Ice and Casco Bay Hockey Association are both nonprofits. Casco Bay Hockey is a Portland-based youth hockey organization with more than 800 players and 150 volunteer coaches.
If the hockey association is successful, both rinks would be on town-owned land with long-term lease agreements.
Family Ice board member Bill Welch on Tuesday said his group's reaction to the proposal for a new, neighboring rink is largely positive, but they would like to see the town include several proposed provisions in any lease agreement for the new facility.
Welch, a commercial real estate lawyer, said the response is analogous to a mall owner who wouldn't put competing businesses in close proximity.
"Circuit City and Best Buy can't be in the same shopping center," Welch said. "Or, if they are, one's going to sell TVs and the other is going to sell computers. ... We're suggesting the town should operate like a commercial landlord, with two valuable tenants who can create value for each other, as long as they're not in competition with each other."
The four-page letter, which was also sent to the hockey association, asks for provisions to ensure compatibility between the two entities. Many of the provisions are already part of the association's plan, including that the new rink be a seasonal, open-air facility and be hockey-focused.
Other provisions call for prohibitions on "traditional public skating sessions," skate rentals, figure skating, skate sharpening services, and ice rentals for adult hockey programs.
"It's our position that if all these things can be property addressed, the rinks will be great together and will create some synergy," Welch said.
John Veilleux, president of the Casco Bay Hockey Association, said the two groups are largely in agreement.
"None of these appear to be deal breakers, but there are some things we are going to push on," he said, including the proposed limits on skate sharpening services and adult hockey programs.
Veilleux and volunteer coach Tom Marjerison on Tuesday said their project would benefit the town because it will revitalize an area that is blighted by the unmaintained outdoor rink. Falmouth schools will be able to use the facility during the off season for rainy-day sports practices, they added, and the rink could host the town's annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony, which is traditionally held at the same location.
Marjerison said some of Family Ice's concerns are shortsighted, particularly the proposed prohibition on skate sharpening.
"The bottom line is this rink is really going to help Family Ice, because they're going to get more (ice) rentals in the off season as we grow Casco Bay Hockey. We'll be able to hold tournaments here because there will be two rinks," he said. "Ultimately, this rink is going to be built. It's just a matter of where. This is the right spot ... but if it doesn't go here, it's going to go somewhere else, and I don't think anybody wants that."
On March 10, Veilleux presented an update on the project to the Town Council that included design renderings from Port City Architecture. He said the rink will be slightly larger than the one it will replace, but the surrounding trees will remain.
A modular-style warming hut would be demolished to make room for the new rink's "aesthetically pleasing" facade, which will include four locker rooms, two restrooms and a viewing area for parents.
The rest of the facility would be open to the elements, with the exception of a pavilion-style roof. The ice would be kept cool on warmer days by a compressor, which the association has already purchased.
The association has also started testing soil, engineering designs and pursuing zoning approval. Additional updates on the project, including conceptual drawings, are available at cascobayarena.com.
Town Manager Nathan Poore said he has asked the association and Family Ice to "mutually resolve remaining issues prior to Town Council consideration of a lease agreement."
"In the event that they cannot resolve all the issues, both parties are more than welcome to share their concerns with the council," Poore said. "Until then, its too early to speculate a position of the town or the Town Council."
Veilleux said he would soon send a formal letter in response to Family Ice's proposed provisions.
Welch said any reduction in revenue for Family Ice could hurt its community programs like Opportunity Skate, which provides free ice time to people with disabilities.
"We scrap for every dollar," Welch said.
Nonetheless, Welch acknowledged that creating provisions in any lease agreement between the town and Casco Bay Hockey Association is out of Family Ice's hands.
"This is what we'd like to see happen, but we know we don't have any veto power, or anything along those lines," Welch said.
The hockey association first pitched its plan to the Town Council in late January. So far, the council appears supportive.
The plan hinges on leasing the town-owned property for 40 years, plus planning approval. The association is not seeking town funds for the project and hopes to have it completed by Sept. 15. The $1.3 million estimate includes funds for a Zamboni ice-treating machine.

The X Factor
X Factor's Emblem3 on Simon Cowell's Secrets to Winning and What They're Singing Next — Exclusive
With the end of The X Factor Season 2 just days away, we're having a hard time dealing with the concept that Emblem3 won't always be in our living rooms twice a week. So, when Wetpaint Entertainment had the chance to catch up with them exclusively on December 10, we were "super stoked," as Keaton, Wes, and Drew would say. The boys leaked some info about their song choices for the week and how they visualize winning the competition.
What did you think of last week's double elimination?
Keaton: Honestly I kind of saw it coming — the show is kind of getting predictable. I think the rankings really show that, just for me, honestly.
You guys have been moving up the ranks every week, what is your strategy going to be going into the last two shows? Are you nervous?
Drew: Our strategy is just to be badass!
Keaton: I'm actually really relaxed this week, there's only one week left of the competition after this week. I don't know... I'm chill.
Are you happy with your song choices this week?
Keaton: Oh yeah!
Drew: We love our song choices!
What can you tell me about them?
Keaton: They're amazing! We got to choose one of the songs and then Simon chose the other one. So, the song we chose is super rad and the song he chose is super rad, so we're super stoked.
Are either of them well-known classics?
Drew: They're both very, very, very well-known and respectable.
Keaton: Everyone knows them.
Who is your biggest competition?
Drew: The thing is we all have different styles so it's like you can't really compare us at all. Obviously Carly Rose is a better vocalist than we are. We're not really about singing, we're about the character and the emotion in the music. If you have a lot of emotion in the music, then that's going to camouflage vocal mistakes or vocal imperfections that you make.
Wes: Honestly, we're about the performance as a whole not just the vocals.
Would you guys consider doing something original?
Keaton: Yeah, of course! We've been dying to do something original.
Drew: The ultimate thing for me would be to play an original for our last performance. Just come out with "Sunset Boulevard" and just kill it.
Keaton: Kill it!
Wes: Honestly that's what I would want to do, too. Yeah if we won, our winning song…an original!
Have you spoken to Simon about it?
Keaton: He loves our original but he thinks it's too risky for the competition.
Drew: I don't know if it's our winning song because they could go dude those guys just played their own song that they wrote, they played the instruments, they produced, I'm just saying that shows a lot more talent than just singing and performing. Like they actually deserve it, that's what I feel like.
Did Simon give you guys any last words of advice?
Drew: WIN!
Keaton: Yeah, he said "from now on you guys are in it to win it and when people ask just tell them you trust your mentor."

A "competent" thief could guess the four-digit PIN of one payment card in every 11-18 wallets they stole, according to University of Cambridge researchers.
The research [pdf] is based on a mathematical analysis of two leaked datasets combined with the results of a survey of 1177 people.
The research project aimed to estimate the difficulty of guessing a human-chosen four-digit PIN.
Banks and credit card operators often allow customers to change their PIN, rather than use a supplied number.
Of those surveyed by researchers, 1108 had a PIN with exactly four digits. About 63 percent said the PIN was the one supplied by the bank or was one from a previous bank.
Another 21 percent used "pseudo-random" digits extrapolated from a phone number or other identification number.
Of those users found to have "non-random PINs", the highest proportion used a date for their four-digit PIN. Common were birthdays (theirs or a partner's) or an important life event.
In percentage terms, nearly seven percent of those surveyed based their PIN on their birth date.
The researchers said the incidence of birth dates as PINs - and the fact a stolen wallet often contained forms of identification with birth dates - could make "manual guessing by thieves [a] worthwhile" exercise.
"A lost or stolen wallet will be vulnerable up to 8.9 percent of the time in the absence of denied PIN lists, with birthday-based guessing the most effective strategy," the researchers said.
Banks could ameliorate some risk by blacklisting users from setting their PINs as a birthdate or an otherwise common set of numbers, such as 1234, the researchers said.
However, they also noted that "preventing birthday-based guessing requires a move away from customer-chosen PINs entirely".

Which is just the way he likes it.
Republicans Have Money Edge in Open Seat House Races
September 30, 2010 | This fall, Republicans need a net gain of 39 seats to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

CRP's Suggested Rosters for Tonight's White House B-Ball Game
October 8, 2009 | If President Barack Obama is looking for tips on how to divide up the teams in tonight's White House basketball game, we've got a suggestion.

If the president takes that route, this is what tonight's lineup would look like.

February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny.

This guide consists of several pages detailing Clarion University Libraries' department-related resources organized by: Databases, Journal Titles, Reference Books, and Professional Organizations.
Also, for research purposes, below are samples of topics to consider.
Getting Started with Interpersonal Communication Research
Interpersonal communication takes many forms and occurs in many contexts. In beginning your research, plan out what aspects of interpersonal communication you are interested in.
This will help guide both where to search and what kind of terms to use.
For example, think about:
- Context: communication at work, in school, on a sports team, at a party, at home, etc.
- Type of relationship: friendship, family (spouse, sibling, parent-child), romantic relationship, etc.
- Form of communication: speech, nonverbal, writing, phone, IM, etc.
- Purpose of communication: persuasion, conflict resolution, support, information gathering, etc.
- Other influences: race, age, gender, culture, etc.
Be as specific as possible in formulating your search terms, covering all aspects you're interested in, but be sure to use alternative/related terms as well. Then check out the Finding Articles, Finding Journals and Finding Books sections of this guide.

When ordering tires by size please make sure you are selecting tires that meet your vehicle's requirements. (For example: tire type, tire size, speed rating, load rating, inflation requirements, etc.)
Please refer to both the tire information in your vehicle owner's manual and on the tire placard located on the driver's door jamb, glove compartment door, or inside the fuel hatch. If you have installed custom wheels and tires, then check your existing tire's designation on the sidewall.
If you are unsure on the proper fitment for your vehicle, please consult your local Costco Tire Center.
The final decision to install a tire on a vehicle will be made by the Costco tire center manager or supervisor. The tire must meet all vehicle manufacturers' safety standards and specifications.
I have read and understand the above statement for ordering tires.

Starlet Allen is one to watch after impressing on international debut
Posted: February 16, 2013|
PROMISING youngster Victoria Allen has made a "massive step forward" in her tennis career after making her international debut, according to the region's talent-spotter.
The 11-year-old played her first tournament abroad when she was selected for the Great Britain under-12 squad competing at a Four Nations event in Belgium.
During the two-day tournament, Allen won five of her six singles matches and set an event record for the amount of sets won.
And team captain Andy Barnes said she played an integral role in the competition-winning squad – which took all four of the trophies available.
Making her international debut meant Allen, of Ashbourne, missed out on collecting the girls' player of the year title at this year's Derbyshire Tennis awards.
But Barnes – who is also talent performance manager for the Midlands – said she will have gained a lot of confidence from her performance at the tennis centre in Antwerp.
He said: "At Victoria's age, you are starting to take tennis more seriously.
"And if you are planning to have a successful international career, it's important to be thinking about milestones like this.
"The nice thing about this event was that it was two days long and just a short journey on the Eurostar – not a big trip over to America, which can be very time-consuming.
"You get the benefits of going abroad and testing yourself out against other players without too much fuss. It's absolutely critical.
"And given how well Victoria performed on her first time away, it can only motivate her to keep pushing on.
"That's why this is a massive step forward."
For the past 12 months, Allen has been training at the MyTennis Academy in Loughborough and has maintained the number one ranking for her age group across the UK.
Last year, she picked up the 12-and-under singles, 12-and-under doubles and 14-and-under singles at the Derbyshire County Closed event.
Allen was part of a six-strong squad, comprising three boys and three girls, which travelled to Belgium.
The team faced competition from players from the Netherlands, a French Belgian team and a Flemish Belgian team.
Trophies up for grabs were the girls' and boys' singles and doubles.
Barnes said: "Victoria was the second girl in the team and she had a great attitude throughout the tournament.
"It's clear she's made a big improvement to her game over the past six months to a year and she took the whole international debut in her stride.
"It's never easy working with coaches who you don't spend every day with but she was very professional and mature throughout the event.
"Those attributes are a real credit to her coaches and her parents."
Barnes – a former Ripley Mill Hill pupil who has represented Derbyshire at senior county level on numerous occasions – said Allen's next priorities would be to return to training at Loughborough and work towards being selected for an international training camp in Croatia later this year.
He said: "Victoria will have certainly done herself a lot of favours with her performance in Belgium towards being picked for the camp.
"There's also a good chance her attitude will go a long way in getting her noticed for such opportunities.
"She's definitely a promising young talent for the future."
Because she was not able to collect her title at the Derbyshire Tennis awards, at Derby County's Pride Park Stadium, it was picked up on her behalf by her coach, Tom Rushby.
He said: "I was really pleased for Victoria – she's is a proper worker and so humble.
"I don't think she realises how good she really is."
