For now, they have just "flushed" Purdue and moved on to Nebraska.

The Cornhuskers, who are well entrenched in 13th place in the Big Ten standings, employed perhaps the most unique defensive approach that anyone has taken against Iowa all season in that earlier meeting. They surrounded Garza with three players and dared the Hawkeyes to launch 3s.

It helped that Fredrick, who is shooting 48.2% from 3-point range, missed that game with an injury. And sophomore Joe Wieskamp, who leads Iowa in 3s, was 1 for 10 from beyond the arc.

"Im assuming since it worked for them the first time, they may try it again," Garza said. "But they may change because we have CJ now and we shoot better at home."

Fredrick, who agonized as he sat on the bench and watched all those missed 3-point chances, said he certainly hopes Nebraska uses the same defense.

"That would be nice," he said with a laugh.

McCaffery said he thinks Nebraska will gang up on Garza again but will mix it with other things, just as most opponents have done against a player who is riding a string of eight consecutive 20-plus scoring efforts.

"I'm to the point now where we've seen it all," McCaffery said. "We'll probably see more than one thing from them, just like we see more than one thing from everybody else now."

Perris Union High School District officials are investigating a recent series of what they described as racially motivated fights and altercations at Heritage High that have resulted in the suspension of 15 students from the campus in Menifee.

Some of those students may face expulsion, Candace Reines, a district deputy superintendent, said Friday, Feb. 7. Reines said she was unaware of any arrests. A message has been left with the Riverside County Sheriffs Department seeking that information.

Reines said there was a verbal altercation the previous week outside of school involving Polynesian and Hispanic students. The hard feelings spilled over to one fight on Wednesday and four fights on Thursday. There were none on Friday, she said.

I think this was an isolated incident that bubbled up. It does seem racially motivated, Reines said.

Heritage principal Erika Tejeda acknowledged the incidents in a post on the schools Facebook page. She wrote that students who are allowed to return to campus will first be required to attend meetings along with their parents or guardians and sign a behavior contract.

Heritage High School does not tolerate fighting, bullying, or racially motivated incidents of any kind, Tejeda wrote. The safety of students and staff will remain my number one priority as the principal of Heritage High School. Along with my administration team, we are looking at various methods to improve the ways in which we address student issues before they escalate to fights.

At Perris Union, the district does not necessarily oppose arrests, Reines said.

We always want to solve the issue at the lowest level, counseling, or group counseling, but we dont have a policy where we wouldnt support a student being arrested, depending on the level of the allegations, Reines said.

FC St. Gallen currently stands top of the Swiss Super League, albeit on goal difference ahead of reigning Swiss Super League champions BSC Young Boys, with both sides having registered 41 points from 20 league games.

However, BSC Young Boys meanwhile have taken seven points (46.6%) from a possible 15 from their previous five games having won just two games from their last five matches under Gerardo Seoane.

Meanwhile, FC Sion, the Geneva-based club who won promotion to the Swiss Super League from the Swiss Challenge League last season courtesy of being crowned champions, have earnedfour wins (80%) from their last five games andpresently stands fourth in the Swiss Super League. FC Sion have registered 33 points (55% win percentage) and remain three points adrift from third place FC Basel, who currently stands third in the Swiss Super League with 36 points (60% win percentage).

FC St. Gallen, who have won won 13 games, drawn 2 and lost five from 20 matches this season in the Swiss Super League, have conceded27 goals and scored 47 under Zeidler.

The two-time Swiss Super League champions, managed by Peter Zeidler, former Head Coach ofRed Bull Salzburg, FC Sion and Sochaux, remains in hot pursuit of FC St. Gallens first Swiss Super League title since the momentous 1999/2000 season; Espens first top flight Swiss league title in96 years after winning their first Swiss Super League title in the 1903/1904 campaign.

FC St. Gallen, who have won six games (75%) from their last eight in the Swiss Super League (18 points from a possible 24 from their previous six matches), currently remains five points clear ahead of third place FC Basel, who faces Cypriot champions Apoel Nicosia in the UEFA Europa League Round of 32.

FC St. Gallen, the oldest professional football club both in Switzerland and Continental Europe, founded on April 19, 1879, have competed in the UEFA Europa League twice in the last six years (2013/2014, 2018/2019), which witnessed the Swiss club eliminated in the group stages and the secondqualifying round of the competition respectively.FC St. Gallen finished last in UEFA Europa League A in the 2013/2014 campaign, which saw Valencia top the group, Swansea City finishing second with FC Kuban Krasnodar finishing third in the table.

Moreover, FC St. Gallens joint leading goalscorers this season, Emerdin Demirovic and Jordi Quintill, both of whom have respectively scored nine goals thisterm for the club, have been among the prominent catalysts for Zeidlers side. Elsewhere, Switzerland international striker, Cedric Itten (eight goals) and Boris Babic (seven goals), have additionally both played a positive role in the 2019/2020 season as FC St. Gallensrenaissance as legitimate title contenders in theSwiss Super League gains further traction in the second half of the campaign.

FOX Sports Radio 96.9FM/1340AMs Dean Perretta briefly caught up with FC St. Gallen and Switzerland international striker, Cedric Itten, 23, to discuss the nail-biting race for the Swiss Super League title, FC St. Gallens ambitious prospects of playing in the UEFA Champions League next season and, of course, the personal target of Itten being selected in Vladimir Petkovis final 23-man Switzerlandnational teamfor the highly anticipated Euro 2020 this summer.

Dean Perretta: Cedric, can you touch on FC St. Gallens form and performances so far this season and indeed the targets and goals in the second half of the 2019/2020 campaign in the Swiss Super League?

Cedric Itten: We are in very good form at the moment (in the Swiss Super League) and have improved continually. We have got a clear plan how we want to play football and currently, it just works out. We are taking game by game (in order to achieve our targets).

Dean Perretta: FC St. Gallen presently remains top of the Swiss Super League with reigning league champions BSC Young Boys currently second. However, what would it mean to play a key role in brining the club its first Swiss Super League title since the memorable title winning 1999/2000 season?

Cedric Itten: Of course it is nice that we are top of the league right now. But we really dont waste any thought on the (Swiss Super League) title. There are still 16 games to play (in the league) and the rivals are strong, so we just stay focused on ourselves.

Dean Perretta: FC St. Gallens next seven Swiss Super League fixtures are against: Servette, Luzern, BSC Young Boys, FC Sion, FC Zrich, FC Thun and Neuchatel Xamax. In terms of the title race, how much of a turning point would it be, especially with regards to confidence and consideration, would it be to take crucial points from these games?

Cedric Itten: It is our aim to win every match, never mind the opponent. We are taking (points game by game), and thats really the way it is, game by game. We know that we are capable of winning every match if we manage to perform to our standards.

Dean Perretta: FC St. Gallen competed in the UEFA Europa League last season. However, can you talk about how this experience shaped the team this season, especially in terms of motivation and playing in Europe again?

Cedric Itten: Its a big goal for every player to play internationally (in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europe League). Therefore, this is no extra motivation.

Dean Perretta: Lastly, what would it mean to be selected and play a key role in Switzerlands Euro 2020 campaign?

Cedric Itten: It was an incredible experience (to be selected for my international debut back in November last year) and it fills me with pride to take to the field for the Swiss national team. Of course, it is my goal to go to Euro 2020, but thats the coachs decision. I will try to continue performing the best possible to be in contention for a place (in the squad this summer).

A Chechen blogger who spoke out against the governments of Russia and Chechnya was found dead in a French hotel room with a slit throat and stab wounds.

Police in Lille, France, discovered the body of 44-year-old Imran Aliev late last month in what French police suspect was a politically motivated slaying. Aliev was a vocal opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.

He used the pseudonyms Mansur Stariy and Old Mansur and was known for his fiery denunciations of Putin and Kadyrov. A French official told Business Insider last week that Aliev had been living as a political refugee in Belgium and was under police protection because of threats out of Russia and Chechnya over his opposition blogging.

Aliev was reportedly accompanied to the hotel by another Chechen who disappeared after the apparent assassination and who officials are now searching for.

This identification could be a case of mistaken identity or even an illegal alibi, the French police official said, noting that nothing could be determined until we have spoken with this man we believe is an important witness.

It is unclear why Aliev traveled from Belgium into the border city of Lille. A Belgian official would not say whether he notified authorities there about the trip.

I cannot speak directly to whether anyone knew he planned to travel, but I would suggest that arranging protection for someone just a few kilometers over the border would not have been an issue, the official said.

More than a dozen people have reportedly been assassinated in the United Kingdom by Russian assassins. In 2018, Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia almost died after being poisoned by a Russian nerve agent, prompting then-Prime Minister Theresa May to expel 23 Russian diplomats.

Obviously, considering Aliev's history and previous threats, we need to strong examine the possibility of a state intelligence service in this murder, and we are collecting and analyzing evidence from travel patterns, electronic intercepts, and other investigative tools at our disposal, said the French police official.

I never wanted to be Alan Greenspan when I grew up. I never wanted to work for H & R Block. I never even wanted to fill out my own tax return myself.

I enjoy writing more than write-offs. And Im pretty sure most of you relate to that, unless youre an actuary or something.

But theres one tax in the world I do know a few things about. Believe it or not, I know enough about baseballs Competitive Balance Tax, more often called the luxury tax, to understand exactly why the Red Sox were convinced it was worth their while to trade Mookie Betts and David Price. I can sum it up this way for you:

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Ive done that math. I even ran it past people in baseball who work with this tax every day. And I can tell you that trading those two guys, and dipping under the tax threshold, could easily be worth hundreds of millions in savings off future tax bills. But

I can also tell you that, in the midst of...

I am a first year history Hons student from Delhi University and wish to become an IPS officer. But, being an average student, I worry that if I am not able to clear the exams, I will be left without a secondary plan. My family cannot financially support me for long. What should I do to ensure I get a job, without letting go of my dream? Himanshu

Dear Himanshu,

Eight lakh students appeared for the UPSC last year, out of which, 759 made it to the IAS and IPS services.

This statistic is not to demotivate you. You could be one amongst the 759, certainly, but what if you dont make it? It is imperative that you start consciously thinking of a plan B and C to fall back on. See what else comes closest to the IPS for you.

You must toil for the next two years now and pass the written tests and subsequent interviews. This, of course, requires self-discipline, patience, punctuality, commitment, self-confidence and above all, a fire to really make it happen. Work hard and smart, build your physique and body and work on your stamina as well. Keep a healthy mind and stay time conscious and away from naysayers. Sky is the limit. Good luck.

I am a second year B.com student. My parents want me to prepare for the CAT. How do I prepare for it and score well? Naga Chaitanya Sai

Dear Chaitanya,

What do you want to do with your life?

First things first Know the CAT exam pattern and syllabus in detail. Ensure that you get the right study material. Sign up to physical or online coaching classes if possible. Take online mock tests. Find like-minded friends and create a study group. Stay determined, confident and motivated. Good luck.

Meek Mill and Justin Timberlake have joined forces on a new anthem.

For Believe, the latest single to arrive from Meeks upcoming fifth studio album, the Philly native enlists JT to send a powerful message of holding out on faith during trials and tribulations. Accompanying the uplifting joint is a harrowing visual that depicts a family coping with the plight of incarceration and mental health issues with sheer determination.

Put my face in the dirt on the ground/ Still, I race off to take back the crown, yes/ You can break my body/ But you can't lock the soul of a man down, Timberlake delivers in the anthemic chorus, as Meek motivates with lyrics like, "Follow your dreams not your addictions/ How we gon' follow our dreams locked in a prison?/ They tried to swallow me whole, God be my witness/ Deprive me outta my dreams but I'm relentless.

In the Biblical promotional cover image for the track, Meek also inscribes the message: "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish at the roaring and tossing of the sea.People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what will come of the world.When these things begin to take place, stand up and liftyour heads, because your redemption is coming."

Listen to Meek and JT collide on their motivational single above.

NewsPolitics Exclusive: The former Labour MP is publishing a memoir which proclaims her innocence

Disgraced former MP Fiona Onasanya is attempting to rebrand herself as a motivational speaker with a new autobiography.

A year after being jailed for perverting the course of justice, the ex-Labour MP has published a memoir in which she proclaims her innocence and defends her actions.

Ms Onasanya, 36, was convicted after a court found she had lied about who was driving her car when it was caught speeding. She has always denied any wrongdoing, but lost an appeal against her conviction and three-month jail sentence.

This month she is publishing an autobiography, Snakes & Adders: A Set Up for the Step Up. Ms Onasanya has called the book "the story of my journey into politics", adding: "I speak very candidly about life both behind and beyond the door as a sitting MP."

The former MP intends to use the book as a springboard to a career as a motivational speaker, according to the marketing blurb she has drawn up for the self-published memoir.

It says: "Fiona Onasanya is a law graduate, former solicitor and the former Member of Parliament for Peterborough North. Having experienced first hand that words can either hinder or help progress, she is a strong believer that delay is not denial. This is mirrored in her motivational speaking and here she takes the reader on a journey, committing to never quit."

Some voters responded with anger to Ms Onasanya's plans to profit from her experiences. One said on Twitter: "You've got a cheek. You lie, cheat, milk a salary and expenses from us taxpayers then want to sell us a book about your shady life."

Ms Onasanya was elected as the MP for Peterborough in 2017, taking the seat from the Conservatives. Just weeks later she was caught speeding, but told the authorities that someone else was driving her car at the time in an attempt to avoid getting points on her licence.

After she was jailed in January last year, a quarter of her constituents signed a petition calling for her removal from office - exceeding the 10 per cent threshold required to trigger a by-election. In that vote the seat was held by Labour, but it was retaken by Conservative Paul Bristow at the general election in December.

Ms Onasanya's attempt to lodge an appeal failed as a judge criticised her for turning up at the hearing without a lawyer or any notes on her case. She was subsequently struck off as a solicitor by the professional regulator.

The former MP has compared herself to Moses and Jesus in her year-long quest to clear her name. She said: "While God did not save them from a guilty verdict, he did save them in it and ensured that their greatest days of impact were on the other side of a guilty verdict."
