The No. 11 Horned Frog baseball team will host the No. 14 Baylor University Bears Wednesday in an attempt to extend their winning streak to seven after beating the University of Texas at Arlington 11-3 Tuesday night.

During this stretch, the Horned Frogs are averaging 9.86 runs per game.

The Bears enter the game 6-2, coming off an 8-3 loss to the No. 7 Rice Owls, which snapped their five-game win streak.

The Bears are averaging six runs a game so far this season.

Precariously perched along the Mexican border, Texas is affected by what goes on in the country in a multitude of ways. And the recent explosion of violence between drug cartels and the Mexican federal government led by Felipe Calderon is no exception.

I have travelled to Mexico twice a year for more than 10 years now, and there's always an undertone of fear surrounding the cartels and the police there, but nothing like what is happening now.

In the world of meal options, a topic that has produced headaches for students on campus over the years, it's good to see the university is making some meaningful changes.

The addition in the 2009-2010 school year of Campus Cash, a program similar to Frog Bucks used at on-campus locations, adds flexibility to the dining process, giving students the opportunity to use some funds in their meal plans at places like 1873 Sports Bar & Grill, The Corner Store and Sub Connection.

The same is not true for jangly dream-pop band Elkhart, whose contemporaries like Mazzy Star and Low with their minimalistic songs straddle the line between ambience and boring the audience.

"The Moon," Elkhart's debut album, misses the band's clear intent to exude memories of house and home.

When it comes to putting a real face on war, the American Widow Project has done just that.

The non-profit organization was created in 2007 as a way to reach out to the widows of American servicemen who gave their lives on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. Founded and headed by widows, the organization has become a tether for women who have lost their husbands and may not know what to do next. The women support each other through sharing their experiences and bringing comfort to help ease the hardships they face.
