NHL 11: EA takes a step back, but still shines
For the better part of a decade, EA Sports’ NHL franchise has dominated the hockey gaming landscape.

That fact seems to be both a…

That's what See said: Take what the defense gives you
Do you ever have those moments where you feel like you can’t lose? Unless you’re John Wooden in the early 1970s, those don’t last very long. After pointing that out for you, your next logical thought is probably, “Yes Bob, you’re right! How can I make it last longer?”
First I would answer by saying…
Pastor cancels Qur’an burning
A little-known pastor from Florida has been at the center of a debate about the burning of the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an. Starting in mid-July, Rev.

OurView: The trifecta of trashiness, over-glorified
Leave it up to Hollywood to promote a “positive” image, and E!News to lionize it with news coverage.
They wouldn’t exactly be deemed Hollywood’s leading ladies, but since Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Nicki “Snooki” Polizzi have recently been all over celebrity news coverage, they’re pretty high on Hollywood’s walk of “shame” scale. But even…

The Greener Side: War of arts
Last week The New York Times’ publisher, Arthur Sulzberger, confirmed the inevitable; The Times will go out of print in the future. The statement was temporally vague but committal.
In fewer than ten years, it seems economically mandated and technologically sensible that people will no longer sit at their kitchen counters with a coffee and…

The Bayer Necessities: I Put the “In” in Virgin
In the hyper-sexualized “that’s what she said” environment in which we live, it seems like being a college student and a virgin simultaneously is an anomaly. Yet somehow, I have managed to embody both of these traits.
I hadn’t realized how uncommon this was until a conversation at my summer job (a server at Bravo!…
Men’s soccer responds to loss by 2-0 run at Clarion Classic
On Sept. 7, it was a tale of two halves as the John Carroll University men’s soccer team lost to their nearby nemesis Notre Dame College 4-0.

Sher It Like It Is: You’re an only child?
People with no siblings are spoiled, bossy, maladjusted, selfish and weird.
Franklin Roosevelt, Condoleezza Rice, Lance Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley are just a few of those people. I don’t think of them bossy or selfish, and they certainly don’t seem maladjusted. Lance and Elvis might be a little weird, but I doubt that…

Promise of greener campus brings Coke on board
For the past decade, John Carroll University has served PepsiCo products throughout campus. Beginning this summer, JCU made the switch to products from The Coca-Cola Company, and many students may be wondering why the sudden change was made.
“The University’s exclusive 10-year beverage agreement with Pepsi recently expired. That agreement covered all [carbonated and non-carbonated]…

Volleyball goes 2-3 on the week as McDiarmid becomes JCU’s all-time leader in assists
Close only counts in horseshoes, not volleyball, which was unfortunate for the John Carroll University women’s volleyball team in their Sept. 9 match with Hiram College in the DeCarlo Varsity Center.
The Blue Streaks were swept in three games, but the match was much closer than it appears on the surface. JCU lost narrowly 25-17,…
