“This is not a knock on Barnes, but a knock on the voters. How can voters justify listing Barnes as one of the top five players in the entire country before he steps on the court? In the ACC alone, there are better candidates for the All-American team than Barnes. Two of these candidates are entering their senior seasons and have excelled at the collegiate level already.’” — From The Chronicle Sports Blog sports.chronicleblogs.com

Pictured is an artist’s rendering of a planned 15 Penn Plaza skyscraper. The planned building will be about as tall as the Empire State Building. The building will have 67 stories available for both residential and business interests. Some complain that the tower will be an unnecessary eyesore and that it’s large size will cast a shadow on the streets below.

Doctor is expanding late London students protest term abortion clinics planned tuition increase A Nebraska doctor who is one of the few in the country to perform abortions late in a pregnancy said Wednesday that he would open new clinics in Iowa and the Washington area. LeRoy Carhart said he decided to open the clinics because Nebraska had implemented a new law that made it illegal to perform abortions beyond the 20th week of a pregnancy. Only a handful of doctors perform abortions in late pregnancy, and Carhart has been the target of antiabortion protests. George Tiller, who was one of the few doctors who were public, was fatally shot by an antiabortion demonstrator while attending church in Wichita, Kan., in 2009. Carhart said he worked with Tiller for 11 years. “The laws are more favorable in these other jurisdictions, and we’re going to do the maximum the law allows,” Carhart said in a telephone interview.
LONDON — In the fiercest protest yet against dramatic austerity measures in Britain, tens of thousands of students took to the streets of London on Wednesday, with a breakaway group storming the headquarters of Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative Party. Protesters marched in opposition to a government plan that could triple the cost of tuition for hundreds of thousands of students, part of a broader effort by the new Conservative-led coalition to slash the British budget deficit, which is now one of the highest in the industrialized world. Almost 50,000 students marched peacefully on the Parliament building in the shadow of Big Ben, but the demonstrations turned violent later in the day as dozens of protesters broke windows and forced their way into the lobby of the Conservative Party’s headquarters.
Correction The Nov. 10 story “City still faces poverty, health challenges, DPD chief says” incorrectly named Jose Lopez as the Duke police chief. Lopez is actually the chief of the Durham Police Department.
