Hotline editors weigh in on the stories that drive the day
• Don't miss the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's report on the growing polarization in the political hotbed of southeast Wisconsin, which is home to some of the most reliably Republican and Democratic counties in the country. Among the bevy of interesting findings: roughly six in ten voters in the metropolitan Milwaukee area lived in a neighborhood that was decided by at least 30 points in the 2012 presidential election, while just one in eight lived in a neighborhood decided by single digits. The stark blue-red divide between the city of Milwaukee and the surrounding suburbs will not only play a major role in shaping the Badger State's gubernatorial race this year, but the 2016 Senate and presidential elections as well. -- Adam Wollner
• News that Nebraska Senate candidate Sid Dinsdale has lent himself $1 million suggest the bank president thinks he has a real chance to make a late charge in the Nebraska Senate Republican primary -- a race heretofore dominated by a two-man contest between State Treasurer Shane Osborn and Midland University President Ben Sasse. Interestingly, allies of the front-running Sasse have started training their fire on Dinsdale, suggesting they now see him as the biggest threat to their favored candidate. Anyone else getting Deb Fischer flashbacks? -- Alex Roarty
• This morning's Pew/USA Today poll showing Republicans with a 4-point generic-ballot edge is already prompting talk of another GOP wave. But dig deeper into the numbers to find more troubling news for Democrats: 65 percent. That's the percentage of Americans who say they want the next president to pursue different policies than the ones sought by President Obama. For Hilary Clinton, numbers like those underscore why it's so rare for a one party to control the White House in three consecutive terms. -- Alex Roarty
• Friday's developments in the FL-13 race clearly demonstrate Democrats' strategy in the older, largely white district. After unceremoniously directing local NAACP chapter president Manuel Sykes away from the ballot, Democrats recruited former Republican Marine Corps veteran Ed Jany, who will run as an independent. If Alex Sink's strategy of branding herself as a fiscal conservative and gathering endorsements from local Republicans wasn't enough evidence, Jany's candidacy shows that Democrats don't think they can run too far to the left and expect to contend with Rep. David Jolly. -- Jack Fitzpatrick
- Former Oklahoma House Speaker T.W. Shannon (R) will be the state's "first black senator if he wins the Republican nomination and is elected this November, but the quiet campaign stirring here about ... Shannon's racial loyalties is not aimed at the African-American branch of his family tree." Shannon "is a member of the Chickasaw Nation, the most influential tribe in a state where Native Americans are not merely the inheritors of a poignant history but also collectively constitute the state's largest nongovernment employer outside of Walmart." (New York Times)
- "I go out of my way to avoid meeting candidates and politicians. ... Most of these people you meet, they're unemployable. ... It's just easier not to know." -- Republican super PAC donor John Jordan (National Journal)
- "Unrequired reading: Many of the thousands of reports mandated by Congress will only gather dust" (Washington Post)
- "Four years after Republicans grabbed their largest number of legislative seats since the Great Depression, the party is positioned to gain House and Senate majorities in more states. ... Control of five state Senates would swing to the GOP with a gain of no more than three seats, and the party is targeting four additional state legislative chambers, believing the political environment favors Republicans this year. The party already has full legislative control in 26 of the 50 states and holds 29 governorships heading into 2014 elections." (Wall Street Journal)
- "To hear" former Rep. Marjorie Margolies (D-PA) "tell it, she essentially gave up her seat in Congress to cast a tiebreaking vote that saved President Bill Clinton's 1993 budget. But it is unclear whether the Clintons will be able to save her as she tries to win it back some 20 years later." (New York Times)
- "As it woos the GOP, Las Vegas' anything-goes image isn't an asset" (Los Angeles Times)
- "A group of wealthy liberal donors who helped bankroll the Center for American Progress and other major advocacy groups on the left is developing a new big-money strategy that could boost state-level Democratic candidates and mobilize core party voters. The plan ... seeks to give Democrats a stronger hand in the redrawing of district lines for state legislatures and the ... House." (Washington Post)
- Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (R) "backed out of giving Rutgers University's commencement speech ... amid growing opposition among the school's students and faculty." (Newark Star-Ledger)
- "At Derby Day With Murdoch, Rand Paul Goes Through His Paces" (New York Times)
- Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) pledged to support former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) if she runs for president. (National Journal)
- Former Rep. Jim Oberstar (D-MN), "a lion in northern Minnesota politics and the state's longest-serving congressman, died in his sleep early Saturday in his Maryland home. He was 79." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
- "The president challenging me on this is kind of irrelevant. That's not how I campaign. I look toward what Alaskans care about." -- Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK), on Obama's comments that Democrats should not be afraid to run on Obamacare (RealClearPolitics)
- "Under federal investigation," former Rep. David Rivera (R) filed to run in FL-26 "on Thursday, chatting with fellow candidates in line while refusing to talk to the Miami Herald about his legal challenges. 'You can email me,' Rivera said repeatedly." (Miami Herald)

The honeybee was introduced to North America by European settlers hundreds of years ago. Since then it has been a valued partner pollinating our crops and providing us with honey. For those of us who love the outdoors they have also been a source of entertainment. Just watching them diligently going about their task can be a pleasant distraction. But in 1990 a new kid arrived on the block and nothing will ever be the same again.
Although attempts have been made to educate the public about Killer Bees most people have gotten their information from bad B movies. Get it? Bee movies? Sorry. Well, I wanted to know some more accurate information so Idecided to visit the Department of Agriculture to get the straight scoop.
Since the Department of Agriculture has traditionally given out permits to beekeepers it has fallen to them to deal with the Killer bee problem.
David Bert ... I guess the first question I should ask is what are killer bees and how that they differ from the bee that we've grown up with?
Gina Stoneking...killer bees are actually honeybees, and that really surprises a lot of people. They think that killer bees are really big horrible ugly looking things, but they're actually honeybees and they actually produce honey and they pollinate our flowers and our gardens. They're just a more defensive honeybee.
David Bert ...Ahh, so it's not necessarily more aggressive its just more defensive?
Gina Stoneking... Right. It doesn't have the aggressive behavior. It's just more defensive of its brood and it's a honey that it's put so much energy into.
David Bert ... so I guess where we've heard the word aggressive is that they aggressively defend and that's the point. As long as we're staying away from their hive were pretty much OK?
Gina Stoneking ... Right. If you leave them alone they'll leave you alone.
David Bert ... OK. So, let's say I accidentally stepped to their territory. Or squash a bee by mistake. They're coming after me. What do I do?
Gina Stoneking ... Well if you're around a hive and you accidentally disturbed that hive you want to leave that area immediately. You don't one hang around. Those hives are real defensive and the will intensively defend themselves. Normally, a European honeybee hive you can avoid real easily. And an accidental disturbance didn't result in too many stings. But with these Africanized bees an accidental disturbance can result in thousands of bees being really angry so leaving that area is the best thing to do.
David Bert ... You make it sound very polite, but leaving the area means runaway.
Gina Stoneking ... Run away from that hive yes
David Bert ... Very fast and as far away as it takes until they stop flying after you.
Gina Stoneking ... Right they are fairly slow fliers. They will not out fly you, but they do defended territory. So that's a good thing. You can outrun their territory.
David Bert ... OK, I read that to if I'm being chased I need to pull my shirt up over my head. Why is that?
Gina Stoneking ... The Africanized bee has developed the ability to detect the carbon dioxide that a person or animal releases from their eyes and nose and mouth. So that is also the most vulnerable area. So covering your face is the best idea to avoid getting so many stings.
David Bert ... So, run, pull my shirt up over my head, and keep running. Now when I was a kid they told us that we should jump into a lake. No, huh?
Gina Stoneking ... No, they can track where you go, so if you jump in the lake and go underwater you'll have to come up for air and the Africanized bees will be there waiting for you. So that's really not the best thing to do. You want to leave the area. Because if you jump in the water, you're kinda stuck there and trapped there.
David Bert ... In fact didn't one gentleman die drowning because he couldn't get out of the water.
Gina Stoneking... Yeah, I think that was the case.
David Bert ... This little conversation is going to bring up far more questions than it's going to answer for the public. How can they go about finding more detailed information?
Gina Stoneking ... Well anybody who wants more information is more than welcome to call the Nevada Department of Agriculture and they can ask for me, Gina Stoneking. Our number is 486-4690. There's also different Web siteaddresses to look up. Texas A&M is one of them. Arizona also has some excellent Web sites with information. I wouldn't believe everything you see on the Internet but those specific University Web sites are wonderful.
David Bert ... Africanized honeybees are here to stay. There's no getting around it, but here in the southwest we've successfully coexisted with far more dangerous critters than bees. So it's best to just accept it and do everything you can to educate yourself about them. The truth is that bees are still our partners. So if you want to worry about something worry about the fact that you're three times more likely to be hit by lightening that you are to die from a bee attack.

Lamb skewers
Photography by Patrick Gorbunovs
A new Italian on the edge of the city has lots going for it. Tim Lloyd reports.
Eating out locally has become more and more of a pleasure of late. The choice up and down the local high streets on the southern side of town has expanded, and the restaurants have clearly informed each other on matters of quality.
Thirty years of occasionally dipping into the restaurants of Glen Osmond Rd, Goodwood Rd, King William St, Unley Rd, Duthy St, Greenhill Rd and now Fullarton Rd have been to witness a rise in diversity, quality and panache.
Restaurants now arrive and depart in quickstep if they don't provide food either of very good value or very good style. Some of the survivors have been large, dedicated premises but as the local main road speciality shopping has declined on these busy roads during the day, opportunities have opened up for small and specialised eateries.
At these former shopfronts, the dining floor is small, the kitchen is planned to the nearest square-centimetre, and the cook has to be smart, fast and adaptable.
These places are looking to start with a clientele who want to eat well locally, and might be thinking that it is wiser to walk home as well.
We reasoned that a brand-new restaurant with a week-old licence would be a good place to try out some well-aged wines from home, and we added to the collection by buying a Mitchell's Riesling from the wine list to begin the evening.
Puccini's is the creation of Mario Suma, best known for his Casa Mia restaurant from the 1990s on Melbourne St, and from the kitchens of many restaurants since. Lively and effusive, he is originally from Taranto, famous for its gulf, so seafood is going to be an integral dish of any outing.
Giacomo Puccini looks down at us from a photograph from behind the bar, but as for opera, we didn't hear any, and the restaurant soundtrack was mostly contemporary orchestral pop. Mario assured us, though, that Puccini operas also make it on occasion.
There were five entrees and starters and since there were five of us, local with interstate and overseas visitors, we had one each.
It was a call that tested the tiny Puccini's kitchen on a busy night, but it came up trumps with at least two of the dishes and acquitted itself well with the other three.
The gnocchi dish with tomato and olives was rich, beautifully textured and generous, although pretty light on chilli to justify its arrabbiata title. The prawns on a stick were half a dozen tall filo pastry cones, each containing a prawn, melt-in-the-mouth and absolutely fun to eat.
They were laid out on a salad that met all the hallmarks of great Italian salads, with freshness as well as richness, and that slight vinegar dominance of the style.
Mario's seafood connections were complete with a half-dozen cooked oysters topped with a spinach and parmesan cheese baked crust.
I usually prefer my oysters raw but these somehow kept the original sea flavours and textures inside a very different packaging.
Later courses were unexceptional rather than poor, and got off to a shaky start when the waitress listed the specials. One was basically beef and reef – steak with prawns – and the other chicken schnitzel. None of us had any interest in either of them.
That chilli problem showed up again, too, with a chilli sauce, we were informed, that had been "bought off premise" and tasted just like that.
These courses included my largish porterhouse steak, cooked just as I like it which is quickly grilled and then left warm so it is pink right through, and tasty and tender.
The plate came with generous helpings of carrots and beans, and a square of thin slices of slow-baked potato which was a real pleasure and stood up to the steak well.
Having just come back from northern Italy where the porcini dishes, even out of season, were absolutely full-flavoured, I will have to forgive the less than convincing porcini topping on my steak.
My friend had another decent dish, linguine with prawns, and because the full restaurant had eaten the place out of prawns, the waitress apologised that it had been necessary to include some Moreton Bay bugs.
There were no objections.
It was one of those warm and comforting dishes that extends a meal into an experience, and it was generous enough for us all to try some.
Mario introduced us to salt and pepper squid steaks using the Humboldt giant squid, which grows out to around 40kg and 2m in length, and has flesh more than 1cm thick.
It is a bit bland, and a different experience altogether from the sweeter St Vincent Gulf squid.
Desserts were almost perfunctory, including a mysterious morello cherry gelati that is apparently imported in its container from Italy, and tasted of food miles.

The man responsible for the Cowboys logo we see today, passed away this week, Dallascowboys.com reports.
Jack Eskridge died Monday morning at Centerpoint Medical Center in Valley Falls, Kansas at the age of 89. His family is holding funeral services and chapels this weekend in Independence, Missouri.
Eskridge joined the Cowboys in 1959, a year before the inaugural season. With the team needing a new logo, it was Eskridge who designed the blue star, giving it a white border outline to provide a 3D-effect.
Ironically enough, Eskridge's grandson Zack spent some time with the Cowboys back in 2011, trying to earn that very star his grandfather created more than 50 years earlier. Zack Eskridge was an undrafted rookie quarterback from Midwestern State. Without the benefit of a normal offseason of OTA and minicamp practices because of the lockout, Eskridge was too far behind the rest of the pack and was released before the first preseason game. He has since played in the Arena League for Kansas City and recently the New Orleans VooDoo.

The idea of a total ban on all abortions makes some people uncomfortable. After all, we've been told for years that there are situations in which abortion, though a poor choice, is the best option. That, however, is untrue. Abortion always claims a human person's life, and therefore is never an appropriate choice.
The "big lie" theory says if an untrue statement is repeated often enough, the people will start to accept it as truth. Such is the case with the erroneous mantra that abortion must be permitted in cases of rape, incest, fetal deformity and threat to the mother's life.
Rape and incest
Rape and incest are similar in the sense that both are criminal acts. In our system of justice, we punish the criminal. We do not punish the victim, nor do we punish the criminal's children. We are told, however, that if pregnancy occurs as a result of rape or incest, offering the victim an abortion is the compassionate thing to do. No woman should be "forced to carry that monster's child," we are told.
The trauma of sexual assault is very real, and there is no intention here to downplay that. Abortion carries its own variety of trauma, however; women — even those who were victims of sexual assault — have reported years of physical, emotional and psychological difficulty following their abortions. Abortion did not solve their problem; it merely created additional ones.
There is also the very important fact that abortion takes the life of a living human being. The circumstances of conception may have been criminal, but the life of the newly-created human being is just as valuable as any other person's. We do not put criminals' innocent children to death in our culture; it simply isn't done. It should not be done in this situation, either.
See also "Abortion — NOT Even When the Pregnancy is the Result of a Rape?" at http://www.all.org/upload/2010/02/23/1014.pdf and "Abortion — NOT Even When the Pregnancy is the Result of Incest?" at http://www.all.org/upload/2010/02/23/1012.pdf
Fetal abnormality
Expectant parents can treat a diagnosis of fetal deformity or other form of birth defect almost as if it were death itself. It is not a physical death, but a death of hopes and dreams. Visions of a "normal" childhood — playing games, going to school, growing up and starting families of their own — vanish in a flash. Parents in this moment of despair are often told they should simply go ahead and terminate the pregnancy and get on with their lives.
The first problem here is that medical opinions can be just that — opinions. There are countless cases of parents who permitted their children to live and found out at birth that the experts were wrong. Also, imagine the horror of the parents who abort their child, only to see that they had destroyed a perfect baby. That is simply too difficult to comprehend.
Abortions in case of fetal abnormality, however, are just like all other abortions. They take the lives of innocent human beings. Abortions in these cases raise frightening prospects, for if it is all right to kill a disabled person in the womb, could it one day be considered permissible to kill a disabled infant? A disabled adult? The answer is clearly "no" in those cases; why is there any question when the victim is a child in the womb?

The mother's life
This excuse for allowing abortion sounds reasonable. If the pregnancy is threatening the mother's life, it would seem that lethal force — an abortion — would be a permissible form of self-defense. The child is not really "attacking" the other, but his presence puts her at risk. It sounds like a good argument, but it simply isn't true.
Hundreds of doctors have a signed a statement that puts the situation in perspective. The statement reads, "There is never a situation in the law or in the ethical practice of medicine where a preborn child's life need be intentionally destroyed by procured abortion for the purpose of saving the life of the mother. A physician must do everything possible to save the lives of both of his patients, mother and child. He must never intend the death of either."
A tubal (or ectopic) pregnancy, for instance, can indeed be life-threatening. But the treatment, even if it is fatal to the child, is not a "procured abortion." The doctor wants to save the baby, but knows that is unlikely. The baby's death is an unintended consequence of the physician's effort to save the mother. There are similar cases involving the treatment of cancer in which the baby's death can be an unintended consequence. But again, these are medical treatments, not abortion.
It is important to distinguish between direct abortion, which is the intentional and willed destruction of a preborn child, and a legitimate treatment a pregnant mother may choose to save her life. Operations that are performed to save the life of the mother-such as the removal of a cancerous uterus or an ectopic pregnancy that poses the threat of imminent death-are considered indirect abortions.
They are justified under a concept called the "principle of double effect." Under this principle, the death of the child is an unintended effect of an operation independently justified by the necessity of saving the mother's life.
Essentially, both mother and child should be treated as patients. A doctor should try to protect both. However, in the course of treating a woman, if her child dies, that is not considered abortion.
"Today it is possible for almost any patient to be brought through pregnancy alive, unless she suffers from a fatal disease such as cancer or leukemia, and if so, abortion would be unlikely to prolong, much less save the life of the mother."
-Alan Guttmacher, former Planned Parenthood president
"There are no conceivable clinical situations today where abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother. In fact, if her health is threatened and an abortion is performed, the abortion increases risks the mother will incur regarding her health."
-Dr. Bernard Nathanson, American Bioethics Advisory Commission
There is only one purpose for abortion — ending the life of the child. The "life of the mother" situation for abortion is simply bogus.

Justin Bieber ain't a little boy no more!
No, but seriously you guys need to listen up. Justin Bieber is staying in a lot of hotels and bedding a lot of women. How do we know this? Read it and weep underage Beliebers.
When Justin recently checked into an NYC hotel, he called down to the lobby to wait for it, ASK FOR MORE CONDOMS.
Not only is Justin in need of condoms, he needs MORE than what he previously asked for!
"He asked for more intimacy kits with condoms," a hotel source told Life & Style.
At least he practices safe sex. What a role model.
Another source at the hotel said that she was working on a different day when he came in, she told the mag, "He ALWAYS requests condoms…and jelly beans!"
What? How are those even uttered in the same sentence?
Honestly, Bieber is probably faking it so the hotel concierge will believe he's a baller, when he's really just up in his hotel with Lil Twist taking Insta-selfies.
Speaking of Insta-selfies. Users can now post videos on Instrgram, so naturally, Bieber already gifted us his first selfie viddy.
He appears so stoned in the video, we literally cannot deal. Cannot. Will not. We can't stop. Ugghh #Miley
Watch Bieber's stoner Insta-moment below.

'Pathetic sentence' for yob who attacked an aerospace engineer and left him paralysed
Posted: October 15, 2012|
MATTHEW Edmonds has been left paralysed from the neck down and facing life in a wheelchair after he was punched in the street by a drunken yob.
The 33-year-old was left a tetraplegic with limited movement in his arms after the single punch assault.
His attacker, Samuel Evans, 21, was already subject to a suspended jail term for a previous assault when he lashed out at Matthew.
He fell and hit his head on a concrete floor, with "devastating" consequences for the aerospace testing engineer, Gloucester Crown Court was told.
Related content
Matthew was helped into court in his wheelchair so he could see Evans, of no fixed address, sentenced to a total of 34 months in jail.
But it is likely he could serve just half that before being eligible for parole.
Judge William Hart told Evans the public might view his sentence as "pathetic". He jailed him for 28 months for the assault, and implemented the six month suspended term for the previous attack.
Judge Hart said sentencing guidelines did not allow him to pass a longer term. In addition, Evans, formerly of Devereux Crescent, Stroud, had admitted the charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm on March 26 and was eligible for a reduction to the maximum sentence.
Evans wrote a letter to the court that said: "I have wrecked Mr Edmonds' life and I hate myself for it."
But the judge, who heard Evans had previous convictions including assault and battery, told him: "On this dreadful night you were drunk and looking for trouble, as appears to have become your habit.
"You struck a forceful blow to Mr Edmonds. The consequences for him have been as dramatic as they could be, short of death. It was catastrophic."
After the hearing Matthew, who had been brought to court from the spinal injuries unit at Salisbury Hospital, said he had been hoping Evans would get a longer sentence.
He said: "I came to court because I just wanted to draw a line under it all. It was quite hard being in court to hear it all and to see him. But it was something I felt I had to do.
"I am now classed as a tetraplegic, paralysed from the neck down. I do have some limited movement in my arms but that's all. I won't be able to go back to my work and I shall have to re-evaluate what I am going to do."

Transcript:5 Things That Slow Down Your PC
Hi, this is Dimitri LaBarge for About.com, and today we're going to talk about 5 things that slow down your PC.
Information About Things That Slow Down Your PC
While there are a lot of things that can slow down your PC, they generally tend to fall into a few simple categories. Here are five things that contribute to that slowdown.
Top 5 Things That Slow Down Your PC
First of all, a lot of time, you're running on hardware that's simply not powerful enough to handle the software you're running. That computer you bought a few years ago might not be up to handling this year's software. Make sure you're meeting the recommended specs of anything you're running.
More Things That Slow Down Your PC
If you're one of those people who likes to put everything right on the desktop where you can get to it quickly? Maybe rethink that. Everything you put on the desktop is one less bit of computing power your computer has at its disposal. Keep it tidy and keep it fast.
Get an antivirus program - preferably one that can scan for adware and spyware - and do a scan of your entire system. This is one of the most common and annoying problems that can really gum up the works, stealing resources from programs that need the power - even bringing your system to a standstill in some cases.
Other Things That Slow Down Your PC
Do you have a lot of installed programs? Do you NEED them all? Go through your uninstall function and see if you can get rid of any of them. Even if you're not using them, usually, they're still hooked right into Windows and taking up resources. Make sure you have your original software just in case you need to reinstall.
If your computer is taking forever to launch, look in your startup folder and see if you have a ton of things launching when you boot up Windows. Startup programs all compete for resources at the same time and can slow your system to a crawl.
Thanks for watching. To learn more, visit us on the web at About.com.

Jason Love (31) dunks against Duquesne
Feb. 7, 2009
PITTSBURGH (AP) -Aaron Jackson made five free throws in the final minute while scoring 21 points, and Duquesne held on despite going the final 7:44 without a basket to stun Xavier 72-68 on Saturday night and hand the Musketeers their first Atlantic 10 loss.
Bill Clark scored 18 points and hit a series of big shots as Duquesne (15-7, 6-3 in Atlantic 10) opened a 15-point lead at 45-30 by shooting 17-of-21 in the first half. Freshman Melquan Bolding added 12 points for Duquesne.
Senior B.J. Raymond scored 18 points but Xavier (20-3, 8-1) led only once, at 2-0, in losing for the first time in seven road games. It was the second time in three seasons the Musketeers were stunned at Duquesne, but they were not ranked when they lost 93-91 in 2006-07.
Xavier has been dominating the Atlantic 10, winning its first eight by an average of 18 points, and had won its last 15 games in February, when conference races often are decided.
"They played great," XU head coach Sean Miller said. "It's one thing to give up a high percentage, but it's a whole different thing to give up 81 percent. That's insurmountable for an opponent."
David Theis, only 5-of-14 at the line previously this season, made two key free throws with 46.2 seconds left to make it 66-59 after junior Jason Love missed a chance to get Xavier closer by making only one of three free throws.
After that, Jackson made five of six at the line during the final 31 seconds to hold off the Musketeers. Holloway scored 16 points a game after being held without a basket.
Duquesne, which lost to top 10-ranked Duke and Pitt earlier in the season, went on an 11-0 run started by Damian Saunders' 3-pointer and ended by Bolding's 3 to take a 20-7 lead with 13:26 left in the first half.
Xavier looked a little flat-footed at the start against Duquesne's pressure defense, perhaps because the Musketeers were playing their second game in three nights after beating Temple 83-74 on Thursday night.
"That wasn't to our advantage, but you play games a day apart in the NCAA tournament," Miller said. "You have to be able to deal with it."
Duquesne cooled off as Xavier went to a zone defense in the second half, shooting only 29.2 percent (7-of-24), but still finished at 53.3 percent (24-of-45) for the game.
"We did a great job of attacking their zone," said Dukes coach Ron Everhart, previously 0-6 against ranked teams. "Aaron Jackson controlled the game at point guard - he made big shots and he also got a lot of guys a lot of good shots."
Xavier will travel up I-75 to take on Dayton at 7 p.m. on Wednesday as it continues Atlantic 10 action.

PHOENIX — s the death penalty.An Arizona woman is getting her first taste of freedom in more than two decades after an appeals court overturned her murder conviction, setting the stage for a retrial as prosecutors seek to put her back on death row.
Debra Milke walked out of the Maricopa County Sheriff's jail Friday after supporters posted her $250,000 bond.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned her conviction in March, ruling that prosecutors should have disclosed information that cast doubt on the credibility of a now-retired detective who said Milke confessed to being involved in the killing of her 4-year-old son, Christopher.
The 49-year-old Milke has not been exonerated, but a judge allowed her to could go free while she prepares for a new trial in a case that made her one of Arizona's most reviled inmates.
Milke was convicted in the death of her son who authorities believe was killed for a $5,000 insurance payout. Police said Milke dressed the boy in his favorite outfit in December 1989, telling him he was going to see Santa Claus at a mall before handing him over to two men who took the child into the desert and shot him. She had been imprisoned since 1990.
A defense lawyer told the judge last week that Milke would live in a Phoenix-area home purchased by supporters.
Prosecutors declined to comment on Milke's possible release and have not appealed the bond order.
Milke, whose mother was a German who married a U.S. Air Force military policeman in Berlin in the early 1960s, has drawn strong support from citizens of that nation and Switzerland, neither of which has the death penalty.

Learn to Knit - Knitting with 4 Needles
Knitting with four double-point needles forms a seamless piece in areas that are too small for circular needles, such as socks and mittens. Double-point needles have points on both ends, allowing the stitches to slide off either end so that you can knit in the round.
Cast on the required number of stitches onto one of the four needles and then evenly divide the stitches onto three needles (or the number of needles specified in the pattern instructions).
Arrange the three needles into a triangle, being careful to not twist the stitches. The cast on edge should lie on the inside of the triangle.
With the empty needle, knit the first stitch of needle 1 (the first cast on stitch), pulling yarn tight to avoid a hole between the needles.Continue across the row until needle 1 is empty.
With the now empty needle 1, knit the first stitch of needle 2 and work same as above.Continue in this manner across each needle and for each round, being sure to mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker.Tip: To prevent "ladders" between the needles, give the yarn a firm tug when working the second stitch on each needle. This will tighten the first stitch of the working needle and the last stitch of the last needle and will help prevent holes.

The Community Economic Development Program, Southern New Hampshire University, combines interdisciplinary course work with Peace Corps service. They equip participants with community economic development, management, planning, and problem-solving skills designed for professional practice in developing countries or with disenfranchised communities in the United States.
Fellows/USA advances the Peace Corps third goal - "to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans," by developing and maintaining educational partnerships that place RPCVs in internships in underserved U.S. communities. RPCVs use the knowledge and skills they developed during their overseas service to improve people's lives here at home.
RPCVs interested in the Fellows/USA program in conjunction with the Community Economic Development Program are eligible to apply for a Master of Science in Community Economic Development degree with National CED specialization. To take advantage of the Fellows/USA scholarship dollars, a RPCV must perform a project that focuses on marginalized communities in the United States. Students returning from Peace Corps service are given special consideration for admission and scholarship.
A $2,000 scholarship per academic year ($4,000 degree total) for the Masters of Science program. Fellows/USA students also receive up to 3 academic credits for their Peace Corps service.
The M.S. in CED with a Peace Corps option is designed to meet the needs of:
- A returning Peace Corps Volunteer seeking to integrate their field experiences with a practice oriented program in CED.
- Apply to the CED program.
- Notify the PC of your intent to enter SNHU's CED Program.
- Send official documents to SNHU admissions stating you have completed your PC obligations in "good standing".

By dint of being caught up in the fall of former publisher THQ, Evolve has remained under the radar, but this week we were lucky enough to experience the game with only the strong surviving the steep learning curve.
Developer Turtle Rock knows the formula here, bringing all the experience gained on multiplayer games such as Condition Zero and Counter Strike Source, and of course co-op multiplayer under the Left 4 Dead moniker in 2008.
As an overview Evolve is a game of four versus one, 4 hunter classes (Griffin the Trapper, Markov the Assault dude, Val the Medic and Hank on Support) up against one bad-ass monster. In this hands-on preview we were only exposed to the Goliath and his brutal skills. The final game will ship with multiple monster options, varied Hunters within the mentioned classes and plenty of environments.
I faced my first game of Evolve as the Goliath. Played in third person perspective, your monster role is pretty clear. Hide from the hunters during the early part of the round, use your abilities to scale the terrain avoid flocks of birds (startling the wildlife will alert those tracking you), but also try to feed on the smaller denizens of this deathworld known as Shear.
If I can manage to stealth my way to stage two, or pick up some power ups from eaten creatures, then I can take on those pesky hunters. Killing a hunter however does not guarantee victory, upon first death, a hunter will return via the drop ship a few minutes later. Second death sees them get a chance to return via resuscitation from a team mate. Kill them a third time however and you are well on the way to victory.

Black Lips, Vivian Girls Coming to Firebird
If you read Pitchfork this morning (or caught the Firebird's Twitter a few hours ago), you read this news: On
Jason Stoff Black Lips at the Firebird, April 2010 Wednesday, Thursday, April 21, the Black Lips/Vivian Girls double tour is coming to the venue. Tickets are on sale Friday at noon. Garage-rockers Black Lips played at the same venue last year and by Keegan Hamilton's account, destroyed. Lo-fi garage-girl-group Vivian Girls have never played St. Louis, and so their appearance might even be more anticipated.

~ You have just
entered the Ear Zone ~
Border Collie
have many ear sets all of which are common for the breed. Ears can range
from drop ( hound dog ), ears to pricked ( erect ), ears and everything in
More ear sets
include half set, rose ears, tipped and even combinations of two ear sets.
For instance, one up, one down, one half or one slightly tipped.
the drop or hound dog ear set is dominant to the recessive pricked ear set.
Many breeders if not happy with the ear set of their border collie will glue
or tape the ears to 'set' them the way they want them to be. This is
practice is more common to those showing their dogs in the conformation
ring, where the ear set is more important to appearance. But 'setting or
bracing the ears' is beginning to be used more and more people that may
simply like a certain ear set.
When puppies
are teething, their ears do all kinds of things. They can change daily from
one ear set to another. After teething is mostly finished, which is a round
6-7 months of age, the ear cartilage hardens and the ear set is final.
The smaller
sized ear will stand more easily then the bigger, longer ears. Also, if
there is abundance of hair on the ear, it contributes to weighing the ear
down more, making it harder for it to hold itself up.

I went to see my doctor on Friday and she asked "so how are you feeling?" I told her that I was incredibly exhausted all the time and that I couldn't even go for a short walk without almost passing out. I was never like this with my last pregnancy which was really easy.
She nodded and said "well, you're in your thirties, so..." which was so totally not lost on me.
Really? is it really that much harder in your thirties? I just had DD three years ago and I felt great. It kind of has me depressed, like now this is what I have to look forward to the entire rest of the pregnancy because I'm "not a young mom anymore." When I had DD at 27, everyone said I was "just a kid." I didn't think three years would make that much difference.
How are you mamas feeling so far? I'm hoping this is just an early pregnancy thing and I feel all better once things get moving along.
Mama to a bright 7 y/o girl and an exuberant 3 y/o boy Loving unschooling, 2x and natural living in Hawaii.
I had my first at 33/34 and this one will be at 38/39. I might be feeling a little bit more tired than with the first but not much. I'd say it is completely unrelated. 30 is young.
Have they checked your iron levels yet? If you're feeling like this is abnormal for this stage of the pregnancy, I would consider getting that and B12 levels checked. I was deficient after having DD, and it really helped to supplement.
I have Stiff Person Syndrome and my other car is a candy apple red Rascal. Feel free to ask me about it.
Yeah, I've had everything checked and went in that day for some special blood tests, so we'll see. I really hope I feel better soon. I was pretty tired with DD in early pregnancy, but not this tired. I'm hoping it goes away.
Mama to a bright 7 y/o girl and an exuberant 3 y/o boy Loving unschooling, 2x and natural living in Hawaii.
I too feel super exhausted; way more so this time around than when I had my son only 20 months ago. I'm 32 and DS was born when I was almost 31. It's not a big time difference and I felt great during his pregnancy.
We're older, but pregnancy is exhausting; I don't care how young you are.
Mama to 4 amazing little people, another little expected 3/6/12!
Avid Unassisted Birth supporter/Mama
I had my first at 22, and the only way I made it through was because my boss redid the schedule for most of my first trimester to give me some extra time off so that I could sleep 12 hours a day, and then I had a good amount of energy and felt alright, though a little bit queasy. By the second trimester, I was doing fine as long as I was getting enough iron.
This time, I'm 25, and I've got a toddler running around and still waking to nurse at night. I'm exhausted. Sometimes, it's not bad and I have the strength to do a lot at once. Sometimes, standing long enough to empty the dishwasher is enough to make me feel faint. I think that a lot of it is about having another child. I can't just take a break like I did when I was pregnant with her. Getting enough iron is really helpful, as is getting a good night's sleep and taking a nap every day. I assume things may continue to be a little more difficult since I have another child, but they should get a lot easier after the first trimester.
Sure, we're 3 years older, but 25 or even 30 is really not that old. Don't let you doc write it off as just your age if you really need help, like if you have an iron deficiency or are deficient in another nutrient. Especially if you have been on hormonal birth control, do look into B12 deficiency as well since HBC is known to deplete your B12.
I'm 26 and was in the best shape of my life before pregnancy... I'd sail through a 90 minute, cardio-crazy krav maga class. Now, at 11 weeks, I give myself a gold star if I manage a 20-minute stroll in the park with my dog. So I wouldn't put it all down to age ;)
I do agree that your doctor should take your concerns more seriously, though... yes, fatigue is normal, but if it's really concerning you, you deserve a doctor who will listen.
I'm sorry they made such an unhelpful comment about your age. Do you think any of your fatigue this time around is from caring for your daughter? I'm also 30 this time (was 28 when pregnant with my DD) and caring for my toddler definitely wears me out.
Mom to 2 Daughters born in 2010 & 2012, and someone new Nov 2015
I was 28 with my first, and had the same experience. I even took a 2 hour nap after work everyday in the first trimester and still slept 9 hours at night. This time at 32, I'm also bogged down with m/s, but not nearly as tired... pretty impressive considering I'm also trying to work full-time and keep up with a 2 year old.
Sounds like you ran into a fairly insensitive moment on his part...

Being a glass half empty kind of gal myself I'm not usually a cheerleader type either.
Even two years ago some of my fellow bloggers - most of whom write for this site - and I all pointed out that the team was going to struggle in the future and pay for the Habs Cinderella run dearly, though we hoped to be wrong.
Sometimes it's not always hindsight that's 20/20, and not all Habs fans and bloggers are clueless zealots despite the stereotypes that get bandied about.
But now that the Canadiens have in fact imploded as predicted and are all but guaranteed to miss this year's playoffs, there are still reasons I enjoy watching them and reasons to look forward to the future of this club instead of merely bracing for impact.
The Lars Eller Story
When Jaroslav Halak got traded I was miserable but not because I preferred him to Carey Price. I wanted to keep them both, and in all honesty I'd never even heard of Lars Eller.
By the end of Eller's first year on the team I was in favour of the trade and now it's clear he's going to form part of the Canadiens spine in the rebuilding process.
His talent, size and speed and the hard work and development of his confidence and skills have been a pleasure to watch.
Pierre Gauthier made a good deal here, and while I was negative at first I'm enjoying eating the humble pie he served up with this trade.
The Josh Gorges Signing
Also in this vein, I'll cop to getting ticked about only a one year deal for Josh Gorges last summer. He has long been a rudder on the blueline for the Habs and, while I wasn't sold on the Andrei Markov deal, I thought Gorges had at least earned a similar vote of confidence from the management.
The fact that this club finally broke with recent tradition and locked up a key player during the season, was a bit of an admission that they had done a disservice to Gorges and were keen to correct that oversight.
The Youth Core
The Habs have some nice talent to help build upon moving forward in the aforementioned two plus PK Subban, Carey Price and Alexei Emelin. I also like David Desharnais and Louis Leblanc and am pleased by reports of Jarred Tinordi and Nathan Beaulieu's progress.
True, there may be no legitimate superstars amongst the group but they are young, hard working, skilled players with more upside than down. It's crucial that the Canadiens have a solid pipeline moving forward.
Once the team is officially out of the running I'm hoping to see more of the youngsters get their chance to pick up some valuable ice time and experience.
Death of the Jacques Martin System
I've never been one for trap hockey. A good defense is always important, but not to the point where it smothers creativity and offense.
To me, watching a team try not to get scored upon is like trying to keep your tongue out of the sore hole in your gum where your tooth used to be. It's terribly painful to endure.
Under Randy Cunneyworth, this team now employs a two man forecheck and, though they struggle to score, they at least mount a consistent offense to go with the defense instead of sitting on their heels waiting for the opponent to make a critical mistake.
I am no longer immensely surprised when I see three Habs forwards down low fighting hard in front of the net, and a few weeks ago witnessing something like that would have made me pause to check my alcohol levels.
The Randy Cunneyworth Accountability System
Under Martin, veterans on the team enjoyed close to 20 minutes a night of ice time regardless of actual performance. They also enjoyed time on the power play or penalty kill regardless of actual skill set, something that routinely set my teeth on edge.
Under Cunneyworth, ice time is earned regardless of status on the squad, something Mike Cammalleri learned the hard way and Lars Eller has taken advantage of.
There are still lapses as to usage of players on special teams, but since the entire roster seems to be struggling I'm not going to rag on Cunneyworth for grasping at straws.
The Redirect
Whether it's a retooling of the team or a full on rebuild remains to be seen, but the fact is this organization is finally left with no choice but to stop clinging to the past and separate the wheat from the chaff. Frankly it's overdue.
For expensive underperformers this will likely mean a new team or retirement. For the youth core it will mean an opportunity to shine.
Bob Gainey's vision of a small speedy team helmed by a coach who would be better served with big bodied stalwarts is now officially dead and gone. Gauthier has even admitted something that Habs fans have stated for awhile now - this team needs more size.
It also needs more consistency in scoring and better unity and cohesion both on the ice and in the locker room. I don't think Larry Carriere was put in position for his overlooked coaching savvy, but so he could finally view, first hand, what needed to be done and help the brass get it done.
It's a small thing, but putting Carriere behind the bench was perhaps one of the first clear indicators that the Habs were serious about moving in a new direction. They now want to better contend in today's NHL and forget the fairytale of two seasons past.
There are problems that will remain in the near future, but steps are finally being taken to address the ones that this club has routinely ignored for far too long.
There can be no progress without change, just stagnation. It's a harsh lesson to learn for the team and for its long-suffering fans.
Now that the Montreal Canadiens are embracing change I find myself growing quietly optimistic about where this team is finally headed.
Rosalyn used to frequent the old Forum during her early childhood when her father was a corporate season ticket holder, where she fell in love with Larry Robinson, so her lifelong obsession with the Habs is entirely his fault.

I've actually got to agree with jokool here. I was against the Master Mew bandwagon, but I'm not so sure that my suspicions would most be cast toward him who started it. He could very well be a townie who genuinely was trying to propose an idea, and it just went wrong. Rather, I think that those who voted in a manner that seemed very follower-y are more worthy of scrutiny.
Mijzelffan comes to mind, voting simply saying "I buy it" in regards to jokool's reasoning. That gave me a strange vibe, as it seemed uncharacteristic of what I've seen of his style in other games.
VOTE: Mijzelffan
Also, I don't feel like Karamazov is mafia. I just haven't gotten that from his posts. So here I'm proposing an alternative.

BRYAN -- The Bryan Vikings will be on the road Friday night to open district 14-5A play against Oak Ridge at Woodforest Bank Stadium in Shenandoah. The Vikings 1-3 on the season. The War Eagles are 0-4.
Bryan is coming off a 43-3 loss to Pflugerville Hendrickson last Friday night in the final non-district game of the season. Vikings head coach Ross Rogers admits it was a poor performance by the coaches and players but know his team will get a fresh start Friday night. "I don't care if you are 4-0 or 0-4 everybody starts off with a clean slate. Every coach is talking about it. Oak Ridge is the same way we are, this is a big giant step and we need to play well and if we play well I think it will work out for us."
Bryan quarterback Chris Johnson will be back in the starting lineup against Oak Ridge. Johnson missed the game against Hendrickson after suffering a concussion against Belton.
You can see a recap of the Bryan vs Oak Ridge game Friday night on Taco Bell's Friday Football Fever at 11:35pm on KBTX.
