Maradona and Messi share strengths and talent

Published Apr 8, 2010

After watching Barcelona's Lionel Messi single-handedly (footedly?) destroy my beloved Arsenals' chances of advancing in the UEFA Champions League by scoring four goals Tuesday night, comparisons to the greatest Argentinean player, Diego Maradona, began running through my head.

Knowledge of online safety essential to combat e-mail phising

Published Apr 7, 2010

Following a pair of e-mail hacking attempts in January and February, knowledge of possible scamming tactics could help prevent students from becoming bait for online phishers, a representative for Information Security Services said.

Published Apr 7, 2010

The TCU club lacrosse team huddles under the stadium lights at Fort Worth Country Day High School after a 19-6 win over the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. The players are bruised, panting and sweaty as they come together, but they are jumping and screaming with excitement.
