President Barack Obama announced Friday that he is sending more troops to Afghanistan.

The far left is up in arms (no pun intended) over this "surge," but there is really no need to be shocked; this was something the president promised to do during the campaign.

According to The New York Times, the new strategy adopted by Obama is to send 4,000 more soldiers to train the Afghan security forces in addition to the 17,000 combat troops he ordered at the beginning of his administration. Unfortunately though, there are several holes in the "surge."

A high of 70 and a low of 44 is expected for Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. The temperature will rise Wednesday with a high of 79 and a low of 56, according to NWS.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid needs to be updated because it is no longer an effective way to assess financial need and distribute monetary aid, the university's chief financial aid officer said.

"What it's doing is not necessarily assessing financial need, but the FAFSA is assessing ability to pay," Scott said.

You know you have a pretty good ball club when an MLB Hall of Famer says so, but the Horned Frogs still couldn't manage to top Tony Gwynn's San Diego State University team in a weekend series at Lupton Stadium, dropping two of three games.

A loss on Friday and a win on Saturday set the stage for a series-clinching finale Sunday.

With one out in the top of the ninth, it seemed like the Horned Frogs were going to take the series against SDSU with a 1-0 win. But three hits and two errors later they were suddenly behind.
