The Bank of America Foundation donated a $20,000 grant that will benefit the Miller Speech and Hearing Clinic, the chairman of the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department said.

Christopher Watts, chair of the department of communication sciences and disorders, said the money will be used to offset costs in providing speech and hearing therapy.

Pam Dunn, administrative assistant at the clinic, said that without the grant there would be many families who couldn't afford the services the clinic provides.

As the university continues working toward becoming a more eco-friendly campus, it will face some challenges, university officials said.

Last spring the university signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment.

Buried in a casket bearing the logo of the New York Yankees? No, it's not the fate of Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig. It could be your Uncle Sal if he's willing to pony up the dough.

According to a Dec. 15 article in The New York Times by Francis X. Clines, the Branch Funeral Home in Smithtown, N.Y. has begun selling caskets with either the Mets' or Yankees' logo emblazoned on the open cover and pillow.

The cost? A mere $5,000. Style points? 37 billion.

Who says death needs to be solemn and dignified anyway? No one's going to remember you for that.

As a retail worker at an area mall, I had an up-close and personal view of Black Friday last year and am still wondering: what in the world happened to good will toward men, 'tis the season to be jolly and all that other stuff the holidays are supposed to be about?

Was Wal-Mart's Black Friday sale really worth trampling a New York man to death? Were people so consumed with greed that they didn't notice the pregnant woman, who later had a miscarriage, on the floor? It doesn't make sense to me.

After Friday's meet against the University of Utah, head coach Richard Sybesma said the H20 Frogs proved they will be a team to be reckoned with if they can consistently rise up to the occasion.

The men's team walked away with a 145-92 victory while the women ended their evening in a tie with the Utes at 121.5 points each.

Before the beginning of this past football season I wrote an article that began by saying TCU was not getting any recognition as a BCS buster.

While they might not have crashed the BCS party, it was still an exciting season, capping it all off with a 17-16 win against then-No. 9 Boise State.

Now for all of his hard work, head coach Gary Patterson was awarded with a contract extension through 2014 worth a reported $1.7 to $2 million per year.
