...deeply disturbed by the picture of three prepubescent girls in miniskirts. Parents, please do not allow your children to leave home looking like this. Not only does such clothing place a bull's-eye on them for sexual predators, but it also encourages them to seek out the affirmation of boys at far too young an age. Help your young girls focus on building character, not a wardrobe meant to attract attention. Then maybe you wouldn't have to worry so much about your 12-year-old contracting a sexually transmitted virus. Julie A. Outzen, ST. PAUL, MINN...

But two at-large bids later the Crimson looked to have a shot at the nation’s strongest 12-person teams—Penn State, St. John’s, and Columbia. The Nittany Lions’ 194 wins blew the competition away, easily surpassing...
...Virtually everyone in town seems to agree. Montfort's city council has appealed for the Malians to be released and offered a path to legalization based on the merits of their situations. Their employer has sought work permits that would allow the 23 Malians to obtain resident visas, noting that productivity in his nearly 700-employee facility has fallen over 10% since their arrest. Petitions demanding the Malians return gave garnered between 4,000 and 6,000 signatures; Montfort merchants have expressed their solidarity by tying white strips of cloth outside their stores; and marches and rallies continue drawing large...
