In cyber-football, team allegiances mean nothing

Published Aug 24, 2007

Behind the palette; artist shares history

Published Aug 24, 2007

While strolling down Houston Street on a Friday night, one is likely to see Rome Milan in the window front of his family's gallery, intently applying paint to a canvas with a palette knife, wearing hats from various parts of the world. Much like the gallery itself, Milan has become a familiar fixture in Sundance Square. However, to the average passers-by, the story behind this window-front painter is a mystery.

Milan had a modest artistic beginning, sparked by a T-shirt at age 13.

Increasing minimum wage will not alleviate poverty; higher pay rate eliminates motivation to work harder

Published Aug 24, 2007

In reading "New minimum wage a step, still not enough," I would have to disagree with some of the author's viewpoints. As a higher minimum wage is put into place, many people are calling it a victory in the war on poverty. However, I would contend that if people actually examined the effects of increasing the minimum wage, they clearly would not want to raise it.When we see headlines of an increase of the minimum wage, we tend to think of lower income people boosting their income and helping people get out of poverty.

What does a soccer coach do when his or her leading scorer goes down with an injury midway through a season?
