Feliz solved Rangers’ Achilles heal

Published Feb 23, 2011

It has happened before; an All-Star fireball-throwing closer is converted into a starter. The result is usually the same; closers are just not as dominant when they move to the starting rotation. The reasons for converting Neftali Feliz are obvious 8212; Feliz has a 100 mph fastball and an electric curveball, he was named the 2010 American League Rookie of the Year, and he led all rookies with 40 saves in 43 attempts. While the Rangers need more depth at starting pitching, converting Feliz into a starter would compromise the Rangers' excellent bullpen.

Market Square cooks up fresh changes

Published Feb 23, 2011

Market Square is making an effort to enhance the dining experience for TCU students by preparing more foods in-house rather than buying canned versions from Sysco, Executive Chef Charlie Guajardo said.

To improve food for students, foods such as the hummus, mashed potatoes, marinara sauce and salsa will now be made on-site at Market Square, he said.

"What we're trying to do is veer away from constitutional cooking," Guajardo said. "We're trying to make homemade, fresh foods for the students."
