Taking care of long-term issues would negate U.S. social shortcomings

Published Sep 1, 2009

Latin America, a region extending from the southern border of the United States. all the way to the southern border of Chile and Argentina, has long been considered one of the world's most underperforming collective economies. Generalized as a whole, this continent and its close peninsular friends have been viewed more so as a peach tree, ripe with fruit and host to a plethora of pickers. However, beyond its oil and other natural resources, Latin America offers the possibility not only for a regional economic boost, but perhaps an even greater global effect.

Arctic Monkeys’ album to make listeners go bananas

Published Sep 1, 2009

On the Arctic Monkeys' first two albums, the most distinguishing factor was the amount of punch that frontman Alex Turner delivered in his riled-up vocals and lead guitar riffs. Songs like "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and "Still Take You Home" are the epitome of club rock: high energy with a little bit of crazy and a little bit of raunchy. Their lyrics focused on sour relationships, awkward one-night stands and jam-packed nightclubs.

Don Mills, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that the numbers fuzzy up the real issue -- the efficient treatment of sick students.

The Final Destination: So bad it’s good

Published Sep 1, 2009

For the love of God, never visit the city of Indianapolis, which is where I assume "The Final Destination" took place.

It's full of rogue ambulance drivers, shoddily constructed racetracks and escalators and construction safety standards that would make an Occupational Safety and Health Administration agent take a nail gun to his own head. Worst of all, the city's denizens are constantly being killed by the items mentioned above.



At least that's what "The Final Destination" would lead you to believe.

Students may soon feel the pinch of proposed city budget cuts as officials consider reducing funding for nonprofits and street maintenance in an effort to offset the $59 million city budget deficit.
