Visitors spoil RedHawks' party
She and her two girlfriends had set up shop at 2 p.m. Thursday, and roughed it through the night. They scored five seats in the first row in the corner behind the glass next to the goal that Miami would attack to start play. "Oh yeah, it was definitely worth it," Regueyra said. "It got absolutely freezing during the night, but we had plenty of blankets. They (campus officials) opened up Goggin for a little while so we could come in and hang out, but by midnight we were on our own. There was a lot of yelling and cheering, though, and everybody was having a good time. "Besides, it's nice and warm in here (Cady Arena) right now," said Regueyra, right before faceoff. She said she left the tent pitched during Friday's game and that "the guys" would inhabit it overnight and make sure to get tickets for themselves and Regueyra and her girlfriends for tonight.
Transcript: NPR Democratic Candidates' Debate
So we're going to get started with the debate, and let's stipulate in advance what I know many feel obliged to say. We're grateful that all of you are here, and we expect that you're grateful to the Iowa State Historical Museum, the people of Iowa, public radio in Iowa and NPR News.

Near the street's end, ascend a ramshackle stone staircase through the University Woods. There, at the top of the crumbling stairway, lies the base of the domed neoclassical building that can be seen from the elevated tracks in Manhattan. The gates to one of New York's long forgotten monuments rest just beyond there, near the top of the hill. Today, the sign at the campus entrance at University Heights reads Bronx Community College, but until 1973, the handsome complex designed by Stanford White housed none other than New York University.
One Woman's World
I don't care if they come with a padded wagon and a white jacket, I am not going to do it. I will never, never cut the tips of my fingernails straight across so they can be in style with today's fingernail fetish. I recently noticed that Robin McGraw (wife of the notorious Dr. Phil McGraw) had her fingernails cut straight across at the tips. Wondering if she had gotten caught in the family lawnmower or if, once again, I was running far behind the style wagon of women's fads and fashions, I asked my stylish daughter about Robin's fingernails.
'Like look-alike mannequins, most women try to market themselves by the way they look. Into this outer cesspool of insanity goes the flesh. If anything slides south, they have it pulled further north and stapled... .'
Not to my surprise, she replied softly "It's the style, Mother.
