Barack Obama's election on Nov. 4th made me so proud to be a part of this wonderful, open-minded, accepting nation and gave me so much hope for the future. Within 24 hours that pride in the good of America was reduced to shame when I found out that California voted to pass Proposition 8.

Hailing from Honolulu, Hawaii and Punahou High School, Manti Te'o is perhaps the most sought-after outside linebacker prospect in the nation, thanks to his speed and tackling instinct. The blue-chip talent has received special treatment from coach Charlie Weis, as he has personally flown to Hawaii twice in the past year to recruit Te'o.

Even though senior tight end and long-snapper Paul Kuppich is a walk-on in his first, and last, year with the Irish, he is trying to make the most of his Notre Dame experience.
Kuppich transferred to Notre Dame from Columbia after his freshman year, and he said the biggest difference he has experienced between the two schools is Notre Dame's sense of community.

I don't know if the Church looks ahead on the schedule when it assigns readings for each Sunday, but it sure blew it this past weekend. Ideally, you look to match the hardest parts of the schedule with the easier teams - a San Diego State opener, for example.

When I applied for the editor-in-chief position last spring, I was given a hypothetical scenario in which I discovered a writer was plagiarizing. I had to write about how I would handle the issue, and in my response I really tried to picture myself in the situation to give a genuine answer.

On my last day working with high school students at a West Side Chicago Public School, I overheard part of some students' conversation:
"That faggot was lookin' at all our dingdongs. Faggot."
The student who said that is one of the nicest students in that class.

Watching the excitement with which my foreign friends followed the U.S. election, I often found myself naively asking, why do they care so much? They can't even vote. But the reality is that the precedent-breaking decision of Nov. 4 was anticipated world-wide.

Sarah Palin made a certain comment recently that deserves a little exposition. In an article from the Associated Press on Nov. 8, several of the governor's quotes were extracted from her response to criticisms that she's received from McCain's aides. ("Palin denounces anonymous critics as cowardly") While elaborating upon the "ridiculous" nature of the allegations, she's quoted as saying, "You guys report based on anonymous sources, so it's hard to have a defense.

There's a good chance Matt Dudzik's Ford Explorer will be the last vehicle leaving the parking lot at the REC Center on most nights. After picking up towels, putting away the scoreboards and checking the doors, it's common for him to be turning off the lights close to midnight.

The bar was set high for "Gears of War 2," but does it deliver? Simply put, yes.
"Gears of War" cemented the Xbox 360 as a true next-generation contender. Even though the first "Gears of War" has flaws, including the short and simple story, the stellar game play and beautiful graphics more than make up for them.

Think we have it bad here at UWM as far as where we can and cannot smoke? Then consider places like Canada, Brazil, France, India and Italy that have nationwide public smoking bans in public places; some with even more strict rules than that. So, what's to stop Milwaukee (including UWM) from banning smoking in public places, then Wisconsin, and then…maybe the United States collectively?
For those who welcome the addition of smoking bans here in Wisconsin, they are no doubt disappointed by the defeat of the proposed smoking ban in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the voting on November 4.

Packed to near capacity by 9 p.m. with a mostly college crowd, the lines at the bar swelled as people rushed to get their last drinks before the show began.

A growing problem that constantly arises in the lobby of the Auditorium building is that able-bodied persons use, or attempt to use, the handicapped door located on the Michigan Avenue side of the AUD building.

At a minimum, they have gained five seats in the Senate and 13 seats in the House of Representatives.
The Democrats made their strongest inroads by taking Senate seats in states that voted for President Bush in 2004 and swung over to President-Elect Obama.
