Sophomore psychology major Eric Russell likes Market Square just fine but he said the dining experience can get boring. Especially when trying to eat healthy, Russell said, his options seem slim.

"Sometimes I feel myself eating the same thing every day because of the lack of variety, especially the time between lunch and dinner," he said.

In it, she suggests that 27 games into the TCU baseball season, the Frogs' chances of getting to Omaha for the College World Series are slim.

The Texas Rangers offered Matt Purke the kind of money that some people won't earn in a lifetime.

T.R. Sullivan, the Rangers' beat writer for MLB.com, said the 14th overall pick in the 2009 draft turned down a $4 million proposal. That's the same amount that fan favorite outfielder Josh Hamilton accepted when he was chosen as the top pick in the 1999 draft.

Not only did Purke turn down the cash, but also a chance to pitch under the eyes of Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan in his home state. For many people, this would be a dream come true.

The health care reform bill passed, but once again, U.S. citizens must deal with the violently polarized U.S. Congress and its stubborn ways.

The next controversial issue Congress must face is unemployment.

According to a CNN.com report, the Senate did not approve a month-long extension for unemployment insurance benefits after Democrats called for unanimous approval but a lone Republican senator from Oklahoma refused to approve its $10 billion price tag.
