After a strong performance at Centenary College during the weekend, junior Edgar Peyro was named the Mountain West Conference swimmer of the week.

This is Peyro's first swimmer of the week honor in his career at TCU.

Peyro marks the eighth MWC winner from the H2O Frogs this season.

He earned two No. 1 spots in Saturday's meet at Centenary in the 100 breaststroke and the 400 individual medley. He was also the anchor for the 200 freestyle relay, helping the Frogs to a second place finish in the event.

When most people saw Teri Garr dressed in a suit and heading out the door for work while Michael Keaton changed diapers in the hit movie "Mr. Mom," I'm sure no one thought it was foreshadowing. Back in 1983, it seemed unlikely that a woman could ever be the primary breadwinner. In 2010, it is no longer just a movie plot. It's many couples' reality.

According to a study done by the Pew Research Center, wives are now the primary wage earner in 22 percent of homes. It's unbelievable that women were only 7 percent of primary breadwinners in 1970. We've come a long way, baby.

While the football team came one University of Texas point short of the BCS National Title game, Jim Schlossnagle was putting the final players in place to make another title run. The football team reached a level they hadn't competed at since the 1930s. The baseball team has a chance to make some history of its own this spring.

The Horned Frog baseball team will open the season at No. 11 in the Baseball America poll, but there are three reasons to believe the team has a better chance to end the year at No. 1 than football did.

1) A head start never hurts:

The men's golf team will kick off its spring campaign today in Kamuela, Hawaii at the Mauna Lani Invitational.

The team will enter the tournament with a No. 4 national ranking but will face six other top-10 programs, including No. 1 Oklahoma State and No. 2 Stanford.

The tournament lineup consists of senior Travis Woolf, junior Tom Hoge, sophomore Johan de Beer, freshman Pontas Gad and freshman Daniel Jennevret.

Sophomore political science major Abbey Brokos is an avid reader, yet her backpack is lighter this spring.

With a few taps on a screen, Brokos can now pull up "The Prince" or "The Communist Manifesto" - required reading for her political theory class - in her Nook, a 12-ounce electronic book reader from Barnes & Noble with dimensions just slightly greater than those of the average paperback.

"I have a huge bookshelf, and each year, I have to pack it up and lug it around," said Brokos, a resident assistant in Foster Hall.

The Starpoint School's victory at a regional robotics competition inspires confidence in the education program's commitment to promoting math and science education.

The sixth grade team - the Starpoint Pavers - won top honors after beating 63 teams in the North Texas-Oklahoma regional competition sponsored by the FIRST LEGO League International program.

The Starpoint Pavers, an engineering group at Starpoint School, took home two top trophies in its first robotics competition.

Sherry Oliver, a technology instructor at the school and the group's supervisor, said she got the idea for a robotics team from a conference she attended the previous year. After presenting the idea to Starpoint, the school received two grants worth about $750 each from the College of Science and Engineering and the Andrews Institute, Oliver said.

After losing at home to New Mexico, the Frogs go back on the road to face another conference opponent, the Brigham Young Cougars.

The men's basketball team's 73-57 loss Saturday to the Lobos revealed a series of holes on offense and defense, said head coach Jim Christian.

"It's hard to find solid play off the bench on either end of the floor," he said. "It's hard to score, and it's hard to stop people, so we can't rest guys."

Christian said his team is struggling to find its consistency throughout the game.

After a difficult loss on the road to the New Mexico Lobos, the Lady Frogs return to Daniel-Meyer Coliseum hoping to advance their home winning streak to 18.

Head coach Jeff Mittie said the Lady Frogs are going to have to be aggressive and stop conference rival Brigham Young in transition to win the game Wednesday.

The Lady Frogs dropped out of the Associated Press Top-25 poll after they lost 60-53 to the Lobos in New Mexico on Saturday.

Mittie said they did not play well against the Lobos and were not as aggressive as they should have been.

The first American war seems to have set the stage for the rest of them. I speak of the American Revolution. In this war, so the narrative goes, rebellious British citizens rose up in violence to protest...

In a recent Public Policy Polling survey of 1,151 registered voters, 49 percent, the highest for any network, stated that they trust FOX News. That's 10 percent higher than CNN, the network that calls itself "the most trusted name in news."

Overall, these numbers are quite scary. If more Americans think that FOX News offers the most credible information, then we are truly on our way to hell in a hand basket.
