How to have beautiful flirty eyes as a boy without make up
Curl your eye lashes.
Curling your eye lashes will make your eyes look bigger and your lashes larger and thicker, without leaving any conspicuous signs that you have done anything to your eyes. In order, to curl your lashes you will need to purchase or borrow a curler.
Pick your answer from:
[i] Make sure you select one that is made for your eyes size and hair type: brown or soft, but still has a bit of curl to it. If you are just starting your makeup application try experimenting with 2 lines of black mascara to add some little volume to them.
[ii] Pick up the curler as you would a pair of scissors. Open up the curler and bring it to the base of your eyelashes with the curve of the curler facing up and away from your face.
[iii] You can find curlers in craft stores and online. Open up your eyes from the inside out.
[iv] If you are very creative, you may even be able to write some collage information on an eyelash curler to hold onto. This will make it easier for you to set up your natural eyes. | [ii] | 1 | Flan2021 | hellaswag:1.1.0 | zs_opt |
"Good Vibrations" is a song composed by Brian Wilson with words by Mike Love for the American rock band the Beach Boys, of which both were members. Released on October 10, 1966, the single was an immediate critical and commercial hit, topping record charts in several countries including the US and UK. Characterized by its complex soundscapes, episodic structure, and subversions of pop music formula, it was the costliest single ever recorded at the time of its release. "Good Vibrations" later became widely acclaimed as one of the greatest masterpieces of rock music.
The song has been covered by artists such as Groove Holmes, the Troggs, Charlie McCoy, and Psychic TV. John Bush commented: "'Good Vibrations' was rarely reprised by other acts, even during the cover-happy '60s. Its fragmented style made it essentially cover-proof." In 1976, a nearly identical cover version was released as a single by Todd Rundgren for his album Faithful. When asked for his opinion, Brian said: "Oh, he did a marvelous job, he did a great job. I was very proud of his version." Rundgren's single peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100. Rundgren explained: "I used to like the sound of the Beach Boys, but it wasn't until they began to compete with the Beatles that I felt that what they were doing was really interesting--like around Pet Sounds and 'Good Vibrations' ... when they started to shed that whole surf music kind of burden and start to branch out into something that was a little more universal. ... I tried to do [the song] as literally as I could because in the intervening 10 years, radio had changed so much. Radio had become so formatted and so structured that that whole experience was already gone." In 2004, Wilson re-recorded the song as a solo artist for his album Brian Wilson Presents Smile. It was sequenced as the album's closing track, following "In Blue Hawaii". In this version, "Good Vibrations" was the project's only track that eschewed the modular recording method. The song's verses and chorus were recorded as part of one whole take, and were not spliced together. In 2012, Wilson Phillips, a trio consisting of Wilson's daughters Carnie and Wendy, and John Phillips' daughter Chynna, released an album containing covers of songs by the Beach Boys and the Mamas & the Papas titled Dedicated. Their version of "Good Vibrations", with Carnie Wilson, on lead vocals was released as a single from the album and peaked at number 25 on Billboard's A/C chart.

Ex-Leeds trainee Tom Cairney gave Fulham the lead with an excellent volley on the edge of the box.
Cook, 19, levelled with a sublime 35-yard shot which gave goalkeeper Andy Lonergan no chance.
Fulham finished with 10 men after defender Fernando Amorebieta was sent off for a second bookable offence.

The result leaves Leeds 17th in the table, 12 points above the relegation zone with 14 games remaining.
Fulham, who have 13 games left, are one place below with a 10-point safety cushion.
The home side survived an early scare as Luke Garbutt's deflected strike flashed just wide before Sol Bamba headed former Leeds captain Ross McCormack's mis-hit volley against his own crossbar.
Fulham took the lead when Cairney took the ball down on the edge of the box and volleyed past motionless Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri - his fourth goal in as many games.
Garbutt stung the palms of Silvestri before the hosts levelled thanks to a moment of inspiration by Cook from distance.
Amorebieta was sent off for stopping a Leeds break with a handball deep into stoppage time.
Leeds United boss Steve Evans:
"If [Lewis Cook's] goal was scored in the Premier League then it would get shown for the next five years. I don't think I have seen a better goal scored. I've just seen a stunning goal from a stunning young player.
"We were unfortunate not to win but we need to improve in terms of scoring goals."
Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic:
"It's good news for us because we showed a different face and a different performance as what we showed last Tuesday night against Blackburn.
"We created many [chances], they scored a fantastic goal too. In the end, in my opinion, I believe we played better football than Leeds and we were closer to win the three points.
"At the end, Leeds was fighting very well and put us under some kind of pressure. They are fighting and deserve this point too."

Here is a news article: When the chips are down, having a strong personality may be the difference between thriving and failing
When the chips are down, having a strong personality may be the difference between thriving and failing, according to new research which studied how aphids reacted when faced with predatory ladybirds.
The study, conducted by the University of Exeter and the University of Osnabrueck, is published in the Journal of Animal Ecology and suggests that committing to a consistent behavioural type in times of crisis results in the best overall outcome in terms of fitness and reproductive success.
The researchers conducted experiments with red and green pea aphids in tanks, where they monitored differences in escape response upon a ladybird attack. When faced with a predator, the aphids either employ a risk-averse strategy of dropping from the plant and running away, or a risk-prone strategy of hunkering down and staying put.
These simulated attacks - in which the ladybirds were ultimately prevented from eating the aphids - were repeated to see if the aphids changed their behaviour or were committed to a chosen lifestyle. They found that those aphids which displayed consistent behaviour (either always dropping or never dropping) did better than those which did a bit of both.
Author Sasha Dall from the Centre for Ecology & Conservation at the University of Exeter said: "When faced with a predator, some aphids are consistently brave, some are not and some don't display any personality. We found that when the consequences are dire it is important for the aphid to commit to a lifestyle, whether it is to run away or to stay put. When life is easier, however, it matters less whether the aphids have strong personalities or not."
The researchers found that because red aphids are more conspicuous than green, life is harsher and so the consequences of dropping vs not dropping are more extreme.
Lead author Wiebke Schuett, now at the University of Hamburg, explained: "For red aphids it was particularly important to either commit to a 'live fast die young' lifestyle ignoring the increased threat from predators, or to always run away when threatened in order to forage more and live longer. Both decisions resulted in strong pay offs, but only if the aphids remained consistent."

A summary of this is? | – If a new study of the natural world is any indicator, it may be OK to flee at the sight of danger—just make sure you do it every time. Researchers investigated the reactions of aphids when they were approached by ladybug predators, evaluating the results in terms of "fitness and reproductive success," a press release reports. Some consistently dropped from the plants where they had been perched; others consistently decided to stick around and tough it out. Both of those groups fared better than the aphids that performed a mix of the two behaviors. "We found that when the consequences are dire, it is important for the aphid to commit to a lifestyle, whether it is to run away or to stay put," says study author Sasha Dall. The study also points to what the researchers call "personality variation" in the aphids. Perhaps it's not surprising that aphids may have personalities; it seems cockroaches do, too. | 4 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

(CNN) -- At least one person was killed when a National Guard helicopter crashed in waters off San Juan, Puerto Rico, a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman said Tuesday, citing preliminary information.
"The preliminary information we have ... is that the wreckage of (the) Army National Guard aircraft was found in the water near San Juan," spokeswoman Diane Spitaliere said in an e-mail.
The aircraft was destroyed, she said.
The crash occurred late Monday, according to Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Moorlag of the U.S. Coast Guard in Miami, Florida.
The Coast Guard received the call to help late Monday night with search and rescue efforts, said Ricardo Castrodad, spokesman for the Coast Guard in San Juan. He said three crew members and three passengers -- one guard and two civilians from Puerto Rico -- were on board.
The UH 72 Lakota helicopter departed Monday night from San Juan, he said. It was one nautical mile northeast from the Puerto Rican coast.
Castrodad did not provide information on casualties but said the search for survivors was ongoing.

Former President George W. Bush briefly jumped back into the national conversation Tuesday night with his interview on "The Tonight Show." Bush told host Jay Leno that "I don't miss the spotlight" and that he was thoroughly enjoying his post-presidential life. On Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton is in the news as he receives a Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. The two former presidents have taken a very different approach to their time after the White House. In an era when former presidents are often younger and healthier than in the past, the post-presidency offers a huge opportunity for them to help shape their legacies. Former President Jimmy Carter raised the bar after he lost to Ronald Reagan in 1980. Rather than going into political hiding, the Georgian launched the Carter Center, which has been a hub of international diplomacy. Carter remained an important voice in discussions about foreign policy and has even played a role in resolving some tense diplomatic situations. Clinton's approach to life after the White House has reflected his general style of politics. Clinton has never been passive. As governor of Arkansas and as president of the United States, Clinton has believed it is essential to maintain an aggressive and proactive stance. In an era when many Democrats felt defensive about their ideas, Clinton never let his opponents define him. He responded to every attack throughout his presidency by going on the attack and tried to influence the national conversation about how he was doing. When Republicans shut down the government in 1995 claiming to be fiscally responsible, Clinton turned the tables on them by depicting them as politically reckless. When House Republicans moved to impeach him for perjury in 1997 and 1998, Clinton painted his opponents as partisan zealots who were using the constitutional process for crass political ends. Since 2000, Clinton has continued to inject himself into the political arena. Understanding that presidential legacies evolve in real time, Clinton has remained a forceful presence in the Democratic Party. He has worked hard to strengthen his image as an effective partisan fighter who knows, and knew, how to make things work in a dysfunctional political period. During the 2008 campaign, while supporting his wife's candidacy he promoted a vision of Democratic politics that he said would be most effective in getting things done in Washington. After Obama won office, Clinton made his peace with the President and in 2012 was one of the most effective advocates for the White House by articulating a powerful critique of Republican economic policies. In recent weeks, Clinton spoke out on the health care program, urging Obama to honor his commitment for people to keep their insurance plans and aiming to shore up Democrats as they have struggled through the problematic rollout of the Affordable Care Act. Not only does Clinton want to demonstrate his political skills, but he remains devoted to a Democratic Party that is strong and effective -- which in his mind would be the best proof that his term in office helped to revitalize a party that had been politically devastated in the Age of Reagan. Clinton also would like his wife to be elected president so as to create a political dynasty of sorts. Bush has taken a different approach, letting his record stand on its own. Bush left the White House hugely unpopular and controversial. Bush had little appetite for the toxic environment of Washington and has been remarkably quiet since leaving. Although Americans saw some of him following the release of his book and in relationship to the opening of his presidential library, that's about it. The strategy follows the kind of politician he was. Bush liked to call himself "The Decider" and in many ways he was. Bush preferred to make decisions and let them stick, regardless of how controversial or problematic they were. We have seen the same strategy in his post-presidential career. Rather than being part of the political conversation and trying to shape his party in the years that followed, Bush has let the record speak for itself. By many accounts, he has watched as the GOP moved rightward despite his own inclinations about what would be best for the future of the party. Each strategy carries its rewards and risks. For Clinton, his stance allows him to be part of the conversation and to try to make sure that his party remains in a strong position. He can paint himself in a good light as people examine what he was doing as president. The danger is that his actions make him a target of controversy and that by making himself so doggedly political he undermines the aura of a statesman that has been so beneficial to rebuilding the damaged image Americans often have of their leaders. During the 2008 presidential campaign, criticism from the African-American community about his statements regarding Obama weakened some of the strong support that the community held toward his presidency. For Bush, the benefit of his relative silence is that he avoids all of the pitfalls that face Clinton. As feelings about him start to soften simply because we are further removed from his presidency, he has created the space for more careful and rigorous analysis of what he did during the White House. By showing how difficult the political environment is regardless of whether he is in office, Bush can allow for more sympathy to develop of challenges he faced. The dangers for Bush are twofold. By being so removed, he can convey a level of dispassion for politics that plays into criticism that it was never a job he was driven to do in the first place. He has also failed to play a forceful role as his party plunges in its approval ratings. Presidential legacies are a tough thing to predict. Like the weather in New England, they change by the minute. As the nation commemorates the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, we can see how presidential reputations fluctuate dramatically (historians often remember his failures as president, while many others recall his presidency in heroic terms). But in this day and age, former presidents have significant opportunities to shape how the nation remembers them and to influence the political world in which they will be judged during their lifetime. As Obama reaches the final period of his presidency, he would do well to look at what his predecessors have done and start thinking through what his strategy will be in the years ahead. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Julian Zelizer.

SPECIAL POST — There are many people who still believe that crossword puzzles are made by computers, even with the presence of Wordplay and other crossword blogs, even with the spread of indie crossword puzzle websites and apps. Many people still believe that the crossword somehow magically appears in the newspaper every day. Nothing, as you and I know, could be further from the truth.
This odd pastime — hiding words and phrases in plain sight and then asking people to uncover them like buried treasure — is such a human thing. Computers, on their own, will never have the passion for working a clue until it is as entertaining as possible. Computers can fill a grid, but they will never have the passion for ripping it apart until the fill is as lively as possible. And, with all due respect to Dr. Fill, a computer will never derive the joy out of deciphering a tough clue, slapping themselves in the forehead and indulging in that elusive, addictive “Aha!” moment.
Constructing crossword puzzles is an art form performed by massively talented, creative, word-loving human beings. Solving puzzles is an art form performed by wordplay-loving humans who have stuck with it and developed the skills to solve. Editing crosswords is an art form performed by humans who want to present the puzzles in the best light possible.
The constructors, solvers and editors who meet up in early spring each year at the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament do so because they all share a singular passion: celebrating the wordplay involved in cramming words and phrases into a box.
I’d like to share some of those faces behind the tournament with you.
One technical note: To read the full caption, please hover your mouse over the ellipsis […] and wait for the rest of the text to pop up. I apologize for the quality, but importing the slide show into the Wordplay template resulted in some wonkiness.

Read this article and answer this question Mahmud Barzanji revolts were a series of armed uprisings by Kurdish Sheykh Mahmud Barzanji against the Iraqi authority in newly conquered British Mesopotamia and later the British Mandate in Iraq. Following his first insurrection in May 1919, Sheykh Mahmud was imprisoned and eventually exiled to India for a one-year period. When returning, he was once again appointed a governor, but shortly revolted again declaring himself as the ruler of the Kingdom of Kurdistan. The Kingdom of Kurdistan lasted from September 1922 - July 1924. With British forces greatly exceeding his in ammunition and training, the defeat finally subdued the region to central British Iraqi rule in 1924. Sheykh Mahmud retreated into mountains, and eventually reached terms with the independent Kingdom of Iraq in 1932, over his return from the underground. Sheykh Mahmud revolts are considered the first chapter of the modern Iraqi-Kurdish conflict.

Summarize the following:
Video is a visual medium, and while voice overs and text are great to get information across they are not incredibly compelling. If you're shooting alone you will not be able to use dialog, actors, or a ton of sound to tell your story. What you have, however, is all the time in the world to set up great shots, capture good video, and work on creating compelling angles. Have the mind of a photographer on every shot. Ask yourself if, on its own, the image is interesting. A storyboard is just the comic book version of your movie. They are invaluable ways to design your film, allowing you to "see" the movie before shooting. It then acts as your guidebook to the film. You can find and print templates online, or simply draw out your basic shots in advance with pen and paper. Improvising for the camera has it's place, of course. But storyboards are a good way to plan where the camera should go. Camera microphones are notoriously bad, and they become useless when the camera is far away from the action. An external microphone will make a huge difference in your production quality, since most audiences notice bad sound before rough video. Make discrete, compelling "scenes" instead of turning the camera on and letting it run while you move around. This ensures that you think about each scene individually and it makes editing much easier. Focus works by sharpening the image at one particularly distance from the camera. If you move around the camera will struggle to keep up, shifting focus or becoming blurry. Put down a small piece of tape that tells you where you need to sit or stand for each take. Films of any lengths are built in the editing booth.The more raw material, or film, that you have to work with the happier you will be, and the easier it will be to make a great movie. Grab different angles of the same shot, run through different lines, or videotape your environment for atmospheric shots. Every extra shot counts. Experiment with shots. Take crazy angles, get weird, abstract shots of everyday objects, and really explore your area with the camera. You may not use the footage, but even grabbing one compelling shot out of 100 will be worth it.
Summary: | Focus on telling your story or idea visually. Make a storyboard of your film. Use an external mic instead of the camera microphone. Shoot in short bursts, not long single takes, when getting lots of footage. Stay in one place if you are filming yourself. Get 3-5 times the footage you think you need. | 1 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Article: | World number one Novak Djokovic is into the quarterfinals of the Western and Southern Open after beating the Czech Republic's Radek Stepanek 6-3 6-3 in Cincinnati. Djokovic, 24, had his serve broken on three occasions by Stepanek, ranked 29 in the world, but recovered to seal victory with his first match point at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. "There are periods of the match where I serve okay and then periods where I serve very bad, but that's okay," the Serb, who has now won 55 matches this season, told the ATP Tour's web site. "It all happens. I played so many matches, and they caught up to me a little bit. It's expected that some part of my game is not working 100 per cent." Can anybody stop Novak and Serena? The three-time grand slam winner will face French number one Gael Monfils in the last eight, after the 24-year-old defeated Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-2 6-2. Rafael Nadal, the man Djokovic replaced as world number one, emerged victorious from a marathon encounter with his compatriot Fernando Verdasco. Nadal, a 10-time major winner, eventually sealed his 12th career success against Verdasco 7-6 (7-5) 6-7(7-4) 7-6(11-9) in three hours and 38 minutes. "You enjoy always a good match," reflected Verdasco, who forced Nadal to five match points. "But when you lose in this way, of course it's not easy, because it could have been a big win." American number one Mardy Fish will be Nadal's opponent in the next round; after the seventh seed registered a 7-5 7-5 win over French 12th seed Richard Gasquet. Roger Federer, who beat Fish in last year's final, continued his quest for a record fifth Western and Southern Open crown with a 6-4 6-1 triumph over wildcard James Blake. "Against James it's always a fast paced match from start to finish," 16-time major champion Federer said. "You hope you get on a roll and he doesn't. "I was able to counter his attacking style. I was able to play clean on my service games. In the second set he didn't play so well, and the score line shows that." Federer's last eight opponent will be Czech Tomas Berdych, who eased past Nicolas Almagro 6-2 6-2. British number one Andy Murray is safely through courtesy of a straight-sets 6-2 7-5 victory over American qualifier Alex Bogomolov Junior. Murray, beaten by Djokovic in January's Australian Open final, will play 10th seed Gilles Simon for a place in the semifinals. World number 12 Simon earned his place in the quarterfinals by beating Spain's David Ferrer 6-4 6-7 (7-3) 6-4. | 7 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

In all my 60 years of age, I have learned that when we watch a movie there is an identification (whether we want it or not) implicit with an specific character.
Sometimes because the character executes certain gesture, sometimes because the character speaks determinate word, or sentence that we use or that we would like to use in determinate situation.
The movie in question, should be seen by this point of view. Who now find a parking space in a mall,downtown, or in the street - taken by a car whose driver can't remember to think that he is not the only driver in the world?
Who hasn't the urge to "rubber out" the ill mannered spat?
Haven said that I ask: - Did you identify with DELLA (played by Kim Bassinger)? If your answer is: YES!, then try not to find absurd details comparatively with life's reality in the movie, because you'll certainly find the movie ridiculous.
Abstractions made, you will see that the movie has moments of surprise, such as: 1- In the sequence in which Della grabs the box of tools in the trunk (does that box contains a gun, and does she haves the guts to use it?); 2- In the sequence in which Terry dies whilst falling; 3- In the sequence in which Della gets attracted by Chuckie's "mermaid's call".
If you have already seen the movie, or if are planning seeing, keep in mind that there are "realistic" movies, "fiction" movies, "political" movies, and movies in which you can "wash your soul"
To exemplify the last one, we can quote: "Tropa de Elite".
According to newspaper's , there was unanimous applause when BOPE officials take certain attitudes. (As I have seen the movie in DVD, I could not ascertain the audience's reaction)
As for the direction part (Susan Monford), interpretations (Kim Bassinger, Lukas Haas, Craig Scheffer, etc. Edition (William M.

News article: Building 'Betty'
LOS ANGELES Chop chop. If you want to watch Silvio Horta, creator of the new hit television show "Ugly Betty," eat lunch, better be quick. He does it at his desk, while scrolling e-mail. Also? Watch your fingers. In comes the plastic tray of takeout sushi. Three minutes, four minutes, tops. Teka maki down the hatch. Lunch is over.
Horta is only 32 years old, with the most-watched new series of the fall season, which ABC just announced it is picking up for the full season. Outwardly, Horta does not appear to be suffering from the stress of creating 42 minutes and 30 seconds of quality television a week for 22 weeks. "I've only lost 10 pounds," he says. He wears leather loafers without socks and his briefcase is a backpack he's had since college. He looks a little Tom Cruisey. Sleeping? "Not much," he says. But Horta isn't complaining. These are exactly the kinds of problems you want in television.
Initially, his one-hour soapy "fish out of water" comedy -- about a zafty Latina from Queens with the furry eyebrows working at a snooty fashion magazine in Manhattan -- was going to air on Friday nights, a time slot of comfortably low expectations in the TV week, the second-least-watched night, after the graveyard that is Saturday evening.
"It was going to be this nice little Friday night show," Horta says. "The pressure wasn't going to be so heavy. People liked it. Okay. Fine. Then it showed at the TCA." Horrors. That's the semiannual gathering of the Television Critics Association, whose members (when they were not eating or drinking) were shown an early version of the pilot -- and they raved . The ABC executives smelled a hit and shoved "Ugly Betty" into the spotlight of Thursday nights at 8,opposite an obscure show called . . . "Survivor."
"It was hold on, here we go," Horta says. "It was like all your dreams come true." He realizes, perhaps, this bit of dialogue sounds corny and so he explains that when all your dreams come true they become your reality and then your reality isn't really the same as your dreams, is it?
And we think: This dude is under a lot of stress.
"You always have these moments of panic," he says. "It could become overwhelming. But you ask yourself, what are my priorities?" He doesn't mean family, health, God, love. He means: The script, the set, the cast, the director, the music, or the newspaper reporter following you around? "What is the most important thing I need to focus on right now, and then that is what you do."
And so now Horta has to go look at a wig.
To say that Horta is the creator of "Ugly Betty" is technically correct: He developed and wrote the pilot. He imagined the look and feel, what is known in TV talk as the show's "bible." But ABC's "Ugly Betty" is based on a wildly popular Colombian telenovela from 1999 called "Yo Soy Betty La Fea," which was a blockbuster in Latin America and has since been spun off into successful soap series in India, Germany, Russia, Greece, Spain and Israel (where it became "Ugly Esti").
The actress Salma Hayek and the producer Ben Silverman ("The Office") owned the rights in the United States and were struggling to develop a series when they approached Horta.
Initially, Horta says, he was, like, nah, not really interested. He had just finished working on another pilot for ABC called "Westside" about the crazy Los Angeles real estate market and its agents, done in a "Nip/Tuck" style. "It never aired," he explains, "and there is a saying in town that there is nothing deader than a dead pilot. I said I'm done. I went to Europe for two months." (TV pilot season is Darwinian. This season, for example, ABC bought 70 one-hour scripts, which they whittled down to 16 pilots to shoot. Only seven aired.)

AUSTIN, Texas (CBS Houston/AP) — Republicans prevailed in all of Texas’ statewide elections on Tuesday, extending a longest-in-the-nation winning streak that dates back to 1994 and ensuring that while all of the state’s top offices will get new occupants, the politics won’t change that much. Some highlights from Election Day:
___
TOP OF THE TICKET
Attorney General Greg Abbott will replace Rick Perry, the longest-serving governor in Texas history, giving the state its first new chief executive since George W. Bush left for the White House in December 2000. Perry is leaving state office for the first time since being elected to the House as a Democrat in 1988, but he may not leave the national stage since he’s mulling a 2016 presidential run.
Attorney general for 12 years, Abbott waited to succeed Perry and is popular with conservative, Tea Party activists and the mainstream GOP. His opponent, Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis, became a national sensation last year with her 12-plus hour, abortion-rights filibuster in the Legislature. She struggled to carry that momentum into her campaign a multimillion-dollar Democratic get-out-the-vote effort organized by top staffers from President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.
Working closely with Abbott will be Lt. Gov.-elect Dan Patrick, a Tea Party-backed state senator from Houston, who ousted incumbent David Dewhurst in the Republican primary. Patrick campaigned relatively lightly for the general election but still topped San Antonio Democratic state Senate colleague Leticia Van de Putte. Patrick will now preside over the Legislature’s upper chamber and has promised to secure the Texas-Mexico border at all costs — a stance so hard-line that it’s drawn rebuke from some of his fellow Republicans.
___
A NEW BUSH FOR TEXAS
Another George Bush is an election winner in Texas. George P. Bush, the son of potential 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush and nephew of former President George W. Bush won the land commissioner’s office in a landslide. He became the first member of his famous political family to win his first election.
“I could not be prouder of George. He ran a great campaign, built his own first-rate team, united abroad and winning coalition and presented a clear vision for the future of Texas,” Jeb Bush said in a statement. “He’s going to be an incredible Texas Land Commissioner!
George P. refuses to say it’s the first step toward higher political aspirations, even though the post had led to a loftier office for former occupants.
George P. told ABC News last month that he believes his father will “more than likely” run for president in 2016.
In other statewide races, fellow Republicans Ken Paxton (attorney general), Glenn Hegar (comptroller) and Sid Miller (agriculture commissioner) also beat little-known and underfunded Democrats.
___
CORNYN CRUISES
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn easily fought off a longshot primary challenge from conservative renegade U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, then had little trouble against Democrat David Alameel. Winning his third term, Cornyn is the No. 2 Republican in the Senate and is set to become majority whip if the GOP retakes the chamber Tuesday. Some conservative activists say Cornyn is too moderate, but that didn’t hurt him against Alameel, a millionaire Dallas dentist and former donor to top Texas Republicans — including Cornyn.
___
IN CONGRESS, JUST ONE COMPETITIVE RACE
Texas has 36 congressional seats, but the only one that actually appears competitive is the sprawling 23rd district stretching from San Antonio to El Paso. The seat has switched from Democrat to Republican in each of the last three elections. Incumbent Democrat Pete Gallego was trying to fend off Republican Will Hurd and early results made the race too close to call.
___
MORE MONEY FOR ROADS
Voters overwhelmingly approved a state constitutional amendment using half the funds flowing annually into Texas’ Rainy Day fund to improve roads and highways. The measure means up to $1.7 billion for transportation infrastructure the first year, though its value thereafter depends on future state oil and gas revenue. Transportation officials say a booming Texas population means that at least $4 billion in spending per year is actually needed just to maintain current traffic levels on jammed roads.
___
VOTER ID
A U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month allowed enforcement of Texas’ strict voter ID law, meaning residents had to show one of seven approved kinds of photo identification when casting ballots. Opponents say the measure discriminates against poor, largely minority Texans and a lower court ruling likened it to a modern-day poll tax. Its effect on balloting wasn’t immediately clear. Early voting turnout was largely flat as compared with 2010, the last time Texas elected a governor, and overall ballot totals could be hampered by heavy rains in some of Texas’ most-populated areas.

DES MOINES — Republican Joni Ernst will become Iowa's first female U.S. senator — and the first female veteran in the history of the Senate — after claiming victory Tuesday night in a bruising, big-money race that remained stubbornly close for months.
Her 152-day battle with Democrat Bruce Braley also made history as Iowa's most expensive race ever. More than $78 million was spent trying to influence votes on just these two candidates, according to OpenSecrets.org.
Ernst, a 44-year-old state senator and military commander from Red Oak, rose from near anonymity to national fame to take out a rival who was regarded by Iowa Democrats as close to an incumbent — a sitting member of Congress and the protege of the current officeholder, Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin.
Iowa's decision leaves Braley, 57, jobless come January. A lawyer elected to the U.S. House eight years ago, Braley sacrificed his seat representing left-leaning northeast Iowa to pursue the statewide office that Harkin's coming retirement left up for grabs.
Voters preferred Ernst, who billed herself as a soldier, mother and independent leader who would rein in government spending, over Braley, who pitched himself as the candidate who would best help the middle class.
At the GOP party, Ernst said she spoke by telephone with Braley and called him "a worthy opponent."
She thanked Iowans who voted for Braley. "I plan to work day and night to earn your trust and confidence in the years to come."
Iowa, which has never before sent a woman to Congress, was considered a crucial chess piece in the GOP game plan for retaking power in the U.S. Senate.
Ernst's ascent from state senator to U.S. senator can be traced to March 25. That was the day her backers released two videos tailor-made for pickup on political TV shows and repeat viewing on YouTube.
One, the "farmer from Iowa" video, showed caught-on-tape remarks that haunted Braley for the rest of the campaign. At a Texas trial lawyers' fundraiser in January, Braley seemed to say that "a farmer from Iowa without a law degree" — by implication Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley — wouldn't be qualified to chair a U.S. Senate committee overseeing judicial matters.

For the next seven months, Republicans relentlessly used video of the perceived insult to try to tear down public opinion of Braley. Braley apologized immediately, but his comment continued to hit a nerve with the Iowa electorate, polling showed.
The other video lit the fuse on Ernst's campaign: "Squeal," her debut TV ad. Ernst's big smile, paired with a headline-grabbing reference to her hog castration skills, caught Iowans' eyes, then became the foundation for the reputation she worked to build as a get-the-job-done Iowa farm girl with a conservative edge.
Before that ad, Braley was raising vastly more money. After it hit television screens and attracted 700,000 views on YouTube alone, Ernst set an Iowa fundraising record.
"She is truly one of the most genuine, honest, straightforward people you will ever meet," fellow state Sen. Dan Zumbach, R-Ryan, told an audience at an Ernst campaign rally last month. "She's the real deal."
Like Braley, Ernst sustained a hailstorm of attacks. The political news site The Hill newspaper on Saturday branded the Braley-Ernst matchup one of the five nastiest in the country.
Among the nips and cuts targeted at Ernst: Abortion rights advocates, including Braley, accused Ernst of wanting to strip women of access to abortion services and contraceptives made more affordable by Obamacare.
She also came under fire for her ties to the Koch brothers, billionaire industrialists who helped her campaign with money and advertising, and for suggesting that private accounts should be considered as an option to address the financial viability of Social Security.
Aside from the "farmer from Iowa" ads, Braley was bedeviled by ads with chicken themes, tied loosely to a neighborhood dispute in which Braley and his wife earlier this year sought to prevent a neighbor's chickens from wandering onto their vacation property. The ads showed talking chickens worrying about Braley filing a lawsuit over them, a manipulated image of Braley doing the chicken dance and a red-faced cartoon Braley chasing a cartoon chicken.
Outside groups spent a total of $24.5 million in opposition to Ernst, and $19.9 million to attack Braley, OpenSecrets.org reports.

Pro-Braley outside groups moved in with heavy artillery to aid his ground game. One example: Billionaire climate change activist Tom Steyer's political action committee, NextGen Climate, fanned out in Iowa starting in June, including on eight colleges campuses, trying to activate Braley-backing voters.
And the superstars of Democratic politics unleashed their firepower to try to persuade Iowans to vote for Braley. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama made repeat visits.
After all that, Ernst emerged the winner.
She barnstormed the state, often with Terry Branstad, Iowa's popular Republican governor, at her side. She talked up her service in the military and described how she'd take "the Iowa way" to Washington: Cut taxes, keep regulations in check, balance the budget and recognize problems and fix them.
"You can tell my voice is getting a little raspy — we have been doing stop after stop after stop," she said one day last week when she had rallies in seven cities, plus an hourlong phone call with a newspaper editorial board.
She also capitalized on a confluence of powerful voter sentiments that tipped votes in the GOP's favor.
An Obama undertow appeared in Iowa in the form of low presidential job approval ratings (56% of this fall's likely voters disapproved of him, an early October Iowa Poll showed); Iowa voters' opinion that the nation is on the wrong track (67%), which translated into blame leveled against politicians in power in Washington, including Braley; and Iowans' lack of enthusiasm for the Democratic candidate in the governor's race, Jack Hatch.
The Register's late October Iowa Poll found that more than half of this fall's likely voters, when asked to think about difficult issues that await the next Congress, thought Braley would show better leadership and judgment in improving the average wages workers earn. The two tied on dealing with the complicated tax system.
But for all other challenges tested, voters thought Ernst was best equipped, to address foreign conflicts, national debt, the Ebola outbreak, gridlock in Congress and Social Security and Medicare.

The gender breakdown of the next Congress is still to be determined, but a major milestone was reached Tuesday night: For the first time in American history, the number of women sitting in Congress will hit triple digits. Democrat Alma Adams of North Carolina won a special election for representative of the 12th Congressional District. Because it was a special election, she will be seated shortly and will not have to wait for January’s swearing-in ceremony, making her the 100th woman currently sitting in Congress, as the graph below shows.
(The source for this graph is a fact sheet from Rutgers’ Center for American Women and Politics, which notes that this data shows the “maximum number of women elected or appointed to serve in that Congress at one time. Some filled out unexpired terms and some were never sworn in.”)

It’s hard to deny the historical importance of Emily’s List, the enormous PAC devoted to electing pro-choice female Democrats that was formed in 1985. Since then, 100 female House members and 19 female senators have been elected with its support, which is a major reason that the congressional surge in women has been largely a Democratic one. ||||| With her election victory in Utah, Mia Love became the first black, Republican woman elected to Congress. (Reuters)
For at least half a century, the party of Lincoln has battled charges that it is racist, sexist and anti-immigrant.
Today, voters from a conservative state made those arguments a little bit harder to make. In Utah, Mia Love became the first black Republican woman — and first Haitian American — elected to Congress.
For the GOP — a house divided that faces significant demographic hurdles to winning the White House in 2016 even as it celebrates President Obama’s shellacking — this was huge. A party threatened with electoral extinction among African Americans and immigrants now has someone to brag about in Washington. In a wave election less about fresh Republican ideas than fervid disapproval of all things presidential, Love’s compelling personal story is an oasis. She’s not just a black face in what’s often described as a party full of angry old white men. She’s a path forward.
It’s hard to overstate how unlikely Love’s victory looked on paper. Utah is less than 1 percent black. Though more than 60 percent of the state’s people identify as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the church is just 3 percent black. Love, 38, is one of these few black Mormons — part of a church that, until 1978, didn’t let African Americans participate in all church activities and still hasn’t apologized for its racism.
Yet, a woman born in Brooklyn to Haitian immigrants is now a duly-elected representative of the Beehive State. What led to this?
A speech at a national political convention about triumphing over adversity — just like another familiar politician facing long odds.
At the Democratic National Convention in 2004, Obama spun a tale of unrealistic dreams achieved by the power of a “larger American story.”
“I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible,” the future president said. “Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'”
Rep.-elect Mia Love (R-Utah) came onto the national political scene during her first campaign in 2012, including this speech at the party's convention in Tampa. (2012 Republican National Convention via YouTube)
Eight years later, Love turned her superficially similar biography — child of foreigner makes good — into a parable for gritty, individual wherewithal. This was Horatio Alger by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
Her parents fled Haiti in 1976, one step ahead of the dreaded Tonton Macoutes, the secret police of dictator Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier. “My parents immigrated to the U.S. with ten dollars in their pocket, believing that the America they had heard about really did exist,” Love told the Republican National Convention, gathered in Tampa in 2012 to nominate Mitt Romney. “When times got tough they didn’t look to Washington, they looked within.”
Indeed, Love — a black woman who married a white man she met on a Mormon mission, left her Catholic Church and lit out to a white enclave by the Great Salt Lake — explicitly challenged what she described as a vision of America mired in demography.
“President Obama’s version of America is a divided one — pitting us against each other based on our income level, gender, and social status,” she said. “His policies have failed!”

Her father, as she reminds interviewers regularly, worked at several jobs — janitor and factory worker — to get her through college at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. “I remember taking my dad to college with me on the first day of orientation,” she told Fox News in a 2012 interview, “and he looked at me very seriously, and he said, ‘Mia, your mother and I have done everything we could to get you here. We’ve worked hard. We’ve never taken a handout. You’re not going to be a burden to society. You will give back.'”
A talented performing artist, she reportedly turned down a Broadway role in “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” because it conflicted with her wedding in 1998 to Jason Love, who, by the way, took her to a firing range on their first date. She became a neighborhood activist in Saratoga Springs, Utah, leading the charge to get a developer to spray the area for flies — “The War of the Midges” it was called — ultimately winning a seat on the city council and then being elected mayor of the small town.
Even when she entered what would turn out to be a losing congressional run in 2012, the GOP knew what it had. Even the future Republican nominee for vice president said so.
“Mia has a great opportunity to extend the message of liberty and economic freedom in ways that a lot of us can’t, and we’re excited about that,” said Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.) after hosting a fundraiser for Love.
Two years later, Ryan’s enthusiasm was borne out on Twitter after Love’s victory. She trailed Democrat Doug Owens most of the night as the results came in from Utah’s 4th District, but ultimately triumphed with 50 percent of the vote to Owens’s 47 percent. “Many people said Utah would never elect a black, Republican, LDS woman to Congress. And guess what … we were the first to do it,” she told cheering supporters, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
Damon Cann, a political science professor at Utah State University, told the paper: “Since the election of Barack Obama, the Republicans have been more serious about trying to showcase the diversity within the Republican Party. And Mia Love is potentially the poster child for diversity in the party.”
Looks like #mialove won. Apparently Republican voters aren't so racist and sexist after all! Great job Mia! — Cruzader (@Tommygun411) November 5, 2014
Mia Love is a perfect example that Republicans are neither sexist nor racist & that the patriarchy/War on Woman doesn't exist in America — preppy repubs (@preppy_repub) November 5, 2014
Just as Obama’s policies didn’t matter as much as the fact that he existed in 2008, Love’s may not either. Judging by her Web site, she won’t upend conservative orthodoxy. She wants to repeal Obamacare. She wants to defend the Second Amendment. She’s pro-life. All-in-all, a typical Republican.
Except: Not at all. Though she may speak out against immigration or D.C. dysfunction, she is not a white-haired, pale-skinned Methuselah turning beet-red on Fox News while doing so. She is a black woman under 40.
That’s all that matters.
“This is our story,” she told Tampa. “This is the America we know because we built it.”

First Female Senator Elected From West Virginia
In West Virginia, Shelley Moore Capito became the first woman elected to the Senate in the state’s history. Capito, a Republican, defeated current West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant in the race to fill Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller’s seat. No stranger to Washington, Capito has represented West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District since 2001.
First Time 100 Votes in Congress Will Be Cast by Women
A special election in North Carolina marks a special milestone for women in Congress. When the 113th Congress casts its next vote, it will be the first time ever that 100 votes will be cast by women. Democrat Alma Adams won a special election in North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District and will join 79 current female House members and 20 current female senators when she reports to work in Washington. There are currently 102 female representatives in Congress, but three of those women are non-voting delegates. Adams’ election puts the total number of voting female representatives at 100.
First Incumbent to Lose Re-election in Pennsylvania
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett’s loss to Democrat Tom Wolf made him the first incumbent governor to lose a re-election bid in Pennsylvania’s history. Corbett is the first incumbent to lose an election since the state amended its constitution to allow gubernatorial second terms in 1968.
First Woman Elected to Congress from Iowa
Joni Ernst made Hawkeye State history on Tuesday night as the first woman elected to either chamber of Congress from Iowa. The Republican rising star defeated Democrat Bruce Braley in the race to fill retiring Democratic Senator Tom Harkin’s seat. With Ernst’s victory in Iowa, Mississippi now becomes the only state to have never elected a female governor or sent a woman to Congress.
First Female Combat Veteran Elected to the Senate
Ernst also made history on Tuesday as the first female combat veteran elected to the Senate. An Iraq War veteran, Ernst has served in the U.S. Army Reserves and Iowa National Guard. While she is the only female combat vet in the Senate, she has company in Congress -- Reps. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., are both combat veterans and currently serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.
First Governor to Win Three Gubernatorial Elections in Four Years
Wisconsin incumbent Scott Walker becomes the first governor notch three victories in just four years. Walker, a Republican, was elected to his second term on Tuesday with a victory over Democratic candidate Mary Burke. Voters first sent Walker to the governor’s mansion in 2010 and he survived a recall election in 2012 after voters expressed anger over a controversial collective bargaining rights law. Whether he’ll finish his upcoming four-year term as governor remains to be seen. He has been mentioned as a possible 2016 GOP presidential candidate.
First Candidate to Lose Two Senate Races to Women
With his loss in New Hampshire, Scott Brown becomes the first candidate to be defeated twice by women in a bid for the U.S. Senate. Brown, a Republican, fell to Democratic incumbent Sen. Jeanne Shaheen on Tuesday. The state-switching former senator was previously defeated by Democrat Elizabeth Warren in a 2012 bid to represent Massachusetts in the Senate. He has run against women in his three most recent bids for public office, beating Martha Coakley for Ted Kennedy’s vacant seat in a Massachusetts special election in 2010.
First Latino Elected to Congress from West Virginia
Republican Alex Mooney becomes the first Latino elected to Congress in West Virginia’s history. According to Mooney’s campaign website, his mother was a Cuban refugee and was once jailed in Cuba for opposing Fidel Castro’s regime. The newly-elected congressman defeated Democrat Nick Casey on Tuesday.
Youngest Woman Ever Elected to Congress
Elise Stefanik, a Republican from New York, made history tonight when she became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Stefanik is just 30 years old. Her victory breaks the 31-year record held by former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, D-N.Y., who was 31 years old when she was elected to Congress in 1973. Stefanik, a Harvard grad, served under President George W. Bush and helped prep Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan for debates during the 2012 campaign.
First Female Governor of Rhode Island
Gina Raimondo, a Democrat, becomes Rhode Island’s first female governor with her victory over Allan Fung. The newly-elected governor enjoyed big-name support from fellow Democrats. First Lady Michelle Obama campaigned for Raimondo last week while Hillary Clinton joined Raimondo on the campaign trail the week before that. The Rhode Island governor’s race would have been a “first” with either candidate’s victory. Had he been elected, Republican candidate Allan Fung would have been the state’s first Asian-American governor.

She's the first Republican to win the district, which had been held by Democratic Rep. Bill Owens since 1993.
Stefanik, 30, is seen as a new face and image for the GOP. House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy both campaigned for her on the trail, offering a preview of the attention she's sure to receive at the Capitol as she projects an aura of energy and vitality for a party hoping to appeal to younger demographics.
The formerly youngest elected Congresswoman was a fellow New Yorker: Democrat Elizabeth Holtzman was 31 when elected to Congress in 1973.
Stefanik is no stranger to Washington. She worked in President George W. Bush's administration on the Domestic Policy Council and oversaw economic and domestic policy in the chief of staff's office for Josh Bolten.
She also served as director of debate preparation during Rep. Paul Ryan's vice presidential campaign, and helped author the Republican National Committee's platform in 2012.
Despite a perceived proximity to many GOP insiders who have frustrated voters, Stefanik was able to capitalize on the Republican base in her district.
She moved into her family's vacation home in Lake Champlain in 2012, and she started work in marketing and management for Premium Plywood Products, a family-owned company, which allowed her more face time with the district's residents. ||||| Story highlights GOP wins Senate seats in Iowa, Colorado, Arkansas, S.

Obama to make a statement Wednesday afternoon
A Republican tide ripped the Senate away from Democrats Tuesday, giving the GOP full control of Congress and the power to pin down President Barack Obama during his last two years in office.
The thumping win upends the balance of power between the White House and Capitol Hill only six years after Obama's Democrats swept to power and marginalized Republicans in a rush to reform health care, Wall Street and pass a huge stimulus package.
Now, it's Democrats who will take the back seat on Capitol Hill, relying mostly on the power of the filibuster to stymie Republicans and keep Obama's legacy intact.
"For too long, this administration has tried to tell the American people what is good for them and then blame somebody else when their policies didn't work out," Mitch McConnell, who is expected to become the next Senate majority leader, said in a victory speech.

In the House, CNN projected the GOP will have at least 246 seats, its largest majority since World War II. Speaker John Boehner, celebrating a widened majority, said he is "humbled by the responsibility the American people have placed with us."
"But this is not a time for celebration," he said. "It's time for government to start getting results and implementing solutions to the challenges facing our country, starting with our still-struggling economy.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has controlled the Senate since 2007, congratulated Republicans on their victory.
"The message from voters is clear: they want us to work together," Reid said. "I look forward to working with Senator McConnell to get things done for the middle class."
Obama will make a statement Wednesday afternoon on an election many will see as a repudiation of his presidency, and he will host bipartisan leaders Friday to try to chart a way forward.
Democratic losses pile up
Democratic fears of a rout came true, as party candidates struggled to defend seats won in the 2008 Obama wave in conservative territory, and couldn't get out from under an unpopular president limping through his second term. The losses in Colorado and Iowa will sting especially hard, as those two states enjoyed a fabled place in Obama's world, as drivers of the president's unlikely bid for the White House in 2008.
The GOP also piled up wins in Montana, South Dakota, Arkansas , West Virginia and North Carolina — all seats that had been in Democratic hands — to surpass their magic number of six net gains. With seats still to be decided in Virginia, Alaska and Louisiana -- where there will be a runoff in December -- the GOP currently has 52 seats in the Senate.
Republican numbers stood up when the GOP managed to hold on to seats in Kansas and Georgia which had threatened to fall from their grasp and complicate the Senate math.

It was a night of almost unrelenting misery for Democrats:
In Iowa , Iraq war veteran Joni Ernst became the first woman elected to Congress from her state, after turning around her Republican campaign with an ad in which she boasted about castrating hogs.
• In North Carolina, Democrat Kay Hagan was felled by Thom Tillis , who repeatedly pummeled her for standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Obama.
Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor lost to Tom Cotton , who, like Ernst, is an Iraq war veteran. Pryor's loss comes despite former president Bill Clinton's efforts to save him in his beloved home state.
• Democrats thought they had Colorado, with its mix of young voters, Hispanics and students locked down for a generation. But Sen. Mark Udall tumbled to charismatic challenger Cory Gardner who shook off claims he was anti-women.
• Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner is having a tougher ride than expected against Republican challenger Ed Gillespie in a state Democrats had thought was reliably theirs after Obama won it twice.
A rare ray of hope for Democrats came in New Hampshire, where Sen. Jeanne Shaheen bested challenger Scott Brown . And Pennsylvania's governor's mansion reverted to Democrats when Tom Wolf unseated Republican Gov. Tom Corbett in a marquee race.
Governors
Two other Republican governors meanwhile won reelection and stirred buzz for their own 2016 White House prospects — John Kasich in swing state Ohio, and conservative Republican Scott Walker in Wisconsin. In New Mexico, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, often mentioned as a possible GOP vice presidential pick, strolled to reelection.
Maryland -- a traditionally Democratic state -- elected Republican Larry Hogan as governor. And Illinois, Obama's home state, ousted its Democratic governor.

Write a summary. | – For the first time ever, a member of the Bush family won his very first election. George P. Bush, Jeb Bush's son, was elected land commissioner in Texas last night, CBS Houston reports. "I could not be prouder of George. He ran a great campaign, built his own first-rate team, united [a broad] and winning coalition, and presented a clear vision for the future of Texas," Jeb Bush said in a statement. "He's going to be an incredible Texas Land Commissioner!" More firsts from the midterm elections: Republican Elise Stefanik, 30, became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress; she won in New York's open 21st District, ABC News reports. Stefanik worked in George W. Bush's presidential administration, and John Boehner campaigned for her. Texas got its first fracking restriction: Voters voted to ban hydraulic fracturing in Denton, where noise, fumes, and other side effects have been disrupting neighborhoods, the Wall Street Journal reports. For the first time, there will soon be 100 women in Congress, Slate reports. Democrat Alma Adams won a special election in North Carolina, so she'll take her seat before January's swearing-in ceremony, making her No. 100. Mia Love can boast two firsts: She's the first black Republican woman to be elected to Congress, as well as the first Haitian-American. Love was born to Haitian immigrants in Brooklyn, but she won her seat in Utah—which is less than 1% black—where she moved with her white husband after converting to Mormonism, the Washington Post reports. Republican Joni Ernst also achieved two firsts: She became the first woman elected to Congress in Iowa, CNN reports; the Iraq war veteran will also be the Senate's first female veteran, USA Today reports. Another first: Her race against Bruce Braley, in which a total of $78 million was spent between both sides, was the most expensive one in the state's history. ABC News runs down a number of other firsts, including more wins for women and African-Americans, and notes that West Virginia also elected a Latino to Congress for the first time. Republican Alex Mooney's mom was a Cuban refugee once jailed for opposing Fidel Castro. Also according to ABC, an incumbent Pennsylvania governor lost his re-election bid for the first time in state history when Tom Corbett lost to Democrat Tom Wolf.

Summarize:
Britain's biggest resale websites are "courting" touts and even offering them "preferential treatment" in a bid to boost profits, a Parliamentary committee heard on Tuesday.
Responses from Stubhub and Ticketmaster were "unsatisfactory", MPs said.
They will now pursue a "fuller investigation of the whole area".
Tuesday's one-off session was supposed to be a hearing on the use of "bots" - automated computer programmes which help touts harvest huge numbers of tickets when they go on sale.
However, the committee said evidence provided at the hearing "shed a light on much more far-ranging and disturbing factors in the market".
These included "clear indications of too-close relationships between those selling tickets on the primary market and sellers on the secondary market".
The committee criticised witnesses for a "failure to give satisfactory answers" on where their profits came from; and questioned resale websites' "willingness" to identify "large-scale ticket touts and fraudulent sellers".
Paul Peake, head of legal affairs at the eBay-owned Stubhub, angered the MPs by repeatedly saying the company was "under no legal obligation" to police its site.
The committee, in turn, accused resale websites of using music fans as "cash cows", by making them pay inflated prices when tickets appear on the secondary market.
They said the biggest resale websites had no incentive to drive down prices, as they took a cut of their sellers' profits.
Fans' anger at the market has increased in recent years, as concerts appear to sell out in a matter of minutes, only for tickets to appear on secondary sites almost immediately.
Often, these sites charge many times above the face value.
Tickets to see Adele this February were advertised for £25,000, while MPs voiced concerns over Phil Collins' 2017 tour, where prices have reached £2,000 on the secondary market.
Conservative MP Andrew Bingham noted that these tickets, listed on the Ticketmaster-owned Get Me In!, could generate up to £600 profit for the company.
All of those who appeared at the hearing agreed that the use of "bots" by professional touts was hampering fans' ability to buy tickets when they first went on sale.
Committee member Nigel Adams has recently proposed outlawing the use of this software, and the select committee has agreed to table an amendment to the Digital Economy Bill later this month to this effect.
The committee is also recommending an HM Revenue and Customs inquiry into the under-reporting of income by known touts, after hearing that the profits declared by "power sellers" often did not match up to the value of tickets they sold through resale sites.
The FanFair Alliance, which lobbies for better regulation of the ticketing industry welcomed the committee's decisions.
"This is fantastic news for all UK music fans and those who have campaigned so long for action," it said in a statement. "We anticipate that a fuller investigation of this market will lead to much-needed reform."
