Published Apr 17, 2009

The baseball season is finally here and with that fantasy baseball season has finally started.

After weeks of drafting, looking at projections and making speculations, you now have the chance to see your hard work pay off on the virtual field.



I was fairly successful in my first week with my teams, but there is always room to bolster your lineup. Be sure to check the waiver wire for some potential steals. Here are a couple that could be available in your leagues:

Misconception of LGBTQ community worrisome

Published Apr 17, 2009

If you all can endure one more opinion piece about the Living Learning Communities, let this one be it. I think we can all agree that the overwhelming backlash received was uncalled for, and that it was largely because of misrepresentation in the media.

Proposed direct lending program would take banks out equation

Published Apr 17, 2009

President Barack Obama's proposed 2010 budget would create mandatory funding and increases for Pell grants and replace subsidized loans made by private banks with direct government lending, a university official said.

We don't want anything to do with this,' and I'm thinking, 'Are you going to stand up for what you believe in or not?'"

Alyssa Christian, sophomore communications major from DeSoto



"I don't think so. TCU tries to make you act as a responsible person, that means respecting other people's opinions and not judging them for what they believe."

Somali piracy calls for international action

Published Apr 17, 2009

It is difficult to believe that among the 21st century conflicts that our generation faces - such as the mad dash for alternative energy - that piracy would still be a problem.

But when a nation such as Somalia exists practically without a government, anything is possible. On Sunday, Navy Seals saved Capt. Richard Phillips from Somali pirates after President Barack Obama authorized lethal force if Phillips looked to be in imminent danger. It was an order that was praised by many and criticized by few.

Country faces more pressing issues than Obama’s dog

Published Apr 16, 2009

In one of the top headlines of the week, President Barack Obama finally fulfilled his campaign promise to his daughters and welcomed a new dog into the family.

News broadcasts, Web sites and even the blogosphere are on full blast about the newest Obama in the White House. One headline proclaimed, "The wait is over."



Seriously, is that what we've come to as a media-loving country to the point where getting a dog is headline news?
