They were fourteen average Texas citizens, a mix of young and middle-aged, eight men and six women, but as the days went by Sharon Cave watched this Austin jury leave behind the mundane to confront the unthinkable. Over and over again, they viewed photographs of her 21-year-old daughter, her body mutilated and dismembered, and listened to hours of gruesome testimony, only to be told at the end of each day to go home to their families and friends and keep what they had seen and heard to themselves.

Bill Maher became famous for his irreverent-bordering-on-outrageous approach to current issues. His first television show, Politically Incorrect, derived entertainment value from getting celebrities to talk about politics (whether they knew anything or not) and purposely pitting against each other representatives of completely opposite points of view.

Fourteen years since Guster’s inception, Rosenworcel and bandmates Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, and Joe Pisapia are still making music. They’ve lost the demos and gone digital, trading sidewalks for stadiums as the music industry has forced them to evolve. In an effort to thank the fans that saw them through...
...regards to football and you also have the excitement that is the NCAA basketball tournament to look forward to. Sure, the Ivy League sends its own annual rep to the Big Dance, but let’s be honest: We’re not going to play any fourteen-game stretch better than Penn or Princeton, so the regular season title is out of the question. And as the sole Division I conference without a conference tournament to conclude our basketball season, our dream of getting blown out by a college basketball powerhouse is dashed...
