| FULL TIME: Wanderers 1 Blackburn Rovers 2
Had Tamir Cohen put more on his shot from eight yards out immediately after the break, then Wanderers might well have been celebrating a fifth successive league win at the Reebok. But shortly after Jussi Jaaskelainen had kept his side in front with an excellent reaction save from Roque Santa Cruz, big Frenchman Samba headed home from David Bentley's corner. It was then left to Roberts to steal the show, scoring just over 10 minutes after arriving as a substitute. He raced past three challenges before getting the luck his persistence deserved with the winning goal. Wanderers: Jaaskelainen; Nolan; Stelios; Campo (McCann 56); Gardner; Davies; Guthrie; Joey O'Brien; Cohen (Wilhelmsson 62); Michalik; Andy O'Brien. Subs not used: Al Habsi; Hunt; Fojut.
Dominican presidential candidates react to poll as expected
Hillary Clinton was suppose to walk away with the Democratic nomination. Now she is barely hanging in. John McCain was almost a goner in the summer, out of money and had to reshuffle his campaign staff. Now he is about to clinch the Republican nomination.

Controversy Over Northwestern Journo Dean's 'Unnamed Sources'
The dean of journalism at Northwestern University seems to have gotten himself in a bit of a sticky wicket, as it were. Apparently, John Lavine, the dean of the Medill School of Journalism, has been indulging in the use of unattributed and unnamed sources in his columns for the Medill alumni magazine and 16 NU journo instructors aren't very happy about it. Not only are they not happy about it, but according to the Chicago Tribune they are demanding that the dean prove that he didn't make his quotes up out of whole cloth. You know the journalist's favorite source, don't you? It's the "unnamed source," the "anonymous quote" and the famed "deep throat" sources that journalists make out to be "protecting" from discovery. This sort of source has a long history in the kind of journalism of whistleblowers or muckrakers that have been increasingly popular since Watergate.
'Dinnertime Bandit' tells of life on lam
SUFFIELD — Alan Golder led a charmed life as a fugitive, strolling the markets and museums of Paris where he lived with a view of the Eiffel Tower. The man who bragged of being a top burglar traveled the continent for years, blending in with his blond hair and fine suits.But after nine years on the run Golder, who police call the "Dinnertime Bandit" finally is locked up at a noisy U.S. prison. "I was living so good over there," Golder told The Associated Press in an interview at MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution, his first since he was extradited. "My heart aches when I lay in bed and think of Paris."Golder was arrested in 2006 in Belgium and extradited in November back to Connecticut, where he pleaded not guilty to nearly 40 felony counts, including burglary, larceny, robbery and kidnapping, that could keep him behind bars for the rest of his life.Police say he burglarized Connecticut's wealthiest residents by scaling mansion walls wearing a black "ninja"-type suit and hood, slipping through second-floor windows during dinnertime while alarms were off and stealing precious jewels.Seated in a small room while wearing a yellow prison jump suit and plain white sneakers, the 52-year-old Golder described how he began his life of crime in New York, burglarized the homes of celebrities such as Johnny Carson and Glen Campbell, turned on his Mob-connected associates and led a stealth life in Europe.
