Tiger Woods has charmed the world for the worse

Published Apr 15, 2010

Welcome back to golf, Eldrick Woods. I noticed that Tiger charmed most of his female idolizers back into favor in between putts and wowed his fellow men into ravenous applause like the 2010 Masters Tournament was his PGA Tour debut.

(For those who only know Mr. Woods as Tiger, Eldrick is his birth name .)



But really, Eldrick, how have you held up through all of this? I read some of those naughty texts Tiger sent, and boy, Elin (Woods' wife) must have been quite angry.

The Princeton Review tallied those findings as part of its "Student Opinion Honors for Business Schools" to create a list of the top-15 schools in the U.S. and Canada based on area of emphasis, according to the Princeton Review Web site.

Employees decry reduction of Route 7 service hours

Published Apr 15, 2010

University employees who ride the city bus to campus said they will likely have difficulty getting to work on time after the Fort Worth Transportation Authority - also known as the T - approved a proposal on March 17 that would halve the service hours of Route 7, which stops on campus.

Walter Betts, the university's system librarian who uses Route 7 to commute to work, said the changes could lead to his having to work half an hour earlier or force him to start driving. Betts said one of his options is to buy a used car, but that's not what he wants to do.

"Since we are the Horned Frogs and the Marine Corps is our main emphasis, I chose Semper Frogs as the name, meaning that we will always be a frog," Carnes said.
