Last Saturday, the El Paso Press Club held a public forum to discuss the violent war between and against the drug cartels in Ciudad Juárez and its relevance for El Pasoans.
Sitting close together or standing near the walls and corners of Kinley's House Coffee and Tea, a coffee shop located near the UTEP campus, members of different local media and several concerned citizens listened closely to the answers offered by the panel, which included Chief Patrol Agent Victor Manjarrez Jr.

It's hard having a beard. It's itchy, it's hot, people stare at it, and you can't blow huge bubble gum bubbles. I think the toughest, but manliest, part of having a beard is to get enough courage to grow pubic-like hair all over your face. To those men who try and succeed, I say, "Good one on you, mate" and for those who are follicle-challenged, I say, "Dude, sorry. If God didn't put it there, don't even try it."

When it comes to freedom from government oppression, the First Amendment gets all the credit. When it comes to those liberties we all readily enjoy - speech, religion, assembly, petition and press - there is such a strong and unified understanding in America that these are inalienable rights that they're hardly ever questioned.

The Faculty Senate has created a task force to review USF's administrative structure to detect inefficiencies and create a more streamlined system in light of $50.4-million budget cuts.
While the details of how the task force will conduct its reviews are not yet determined, the decision to look higher up the University hierarchy for ineffectiveness and wasteful spending is fitting and necessary given the financial straits in which USF is confined.

Dear Gigolo Joe: I've had a roommate for a long time, and the one thing that keeps bothering me about him is the fridge. We really are at a loss for how to divide space in it. And a lot of times, I find my food gone or partially eaten because my roomie loves to eat (to say it nicely).

Officer Brandon Qualls is an example for all students on Ball State University's campus. He had a dream, and he went out and achieved it.
He didn't see his college days as the best times of his life, but instead used his passion to get a job at the University Police Department while in school.

The controversy surrounding "intelligent design" occasionally pops up in the education system. Since 1999, there has been at least one challenge to evolution each year. Although "intelligent design" advocates want "equal time" for their idea, it is nothing more than an attempt to gain political influence over schools and to insert religion where it does not belong - in a science classroom.

The news that UK President Lee Todd is only taking part of his bonus is comforting, especially since he's asked all staff and faculty to forgo any raises at all.
Some of the employees getting hit the hardest are those UK says they need here for emergencies: food handlers, maintenance workers, lab workers, plumbers, electricians and grounds workers.

American drug dealers, eye-drops salesmen and the Doritos board of executives must be ecstatic.
A World Health Organization survey July 1 named the U.S. the world superpower when it comes to consuming marijuana and cocaine.
We even beat out the Netherlands, where you can go to a coffee shop, roll a joint and smoke it next to a police officer without repercussions.

Much has been written and much has been said about the so-called 'development' planned for downtown Lexington. While the CentrePointe tower surely is something, I would hesitate to call it "development." Usually, at least in economics, development implies a qualitative improvement over existing conditions.

Whatever happened to common sense? I mean, take a look at the news for a second, and watch the droves of people who seem to blindly support a man they know little about. I am speaking, of course, about those who support Barack Obama in his bid for the presidency, and before you freak out and start calling me names, let me make my point.

My friends advised me for weeks that I had to see "Iron Man." I resisted, citing the utter lack of quality in the majority of recent movies and recent action movies in particular. They said this one is different; see it and you will understand. On Father's Day, I relented and saw it with my family, subsequently continuing my streak of making incorrect decisions based on preconception.

The presumptive Democratic nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, came out in support of a House bill this week that would grant immunity to telecommunications companies that participated in warrantless wiretaps. This is a poor decision and a step in the wrong direction for a candidate who suggests that he is representative of a change in government.

Monopoly is no longer just a board game; it is reality for cable subscribers in Wilmington, NC. Perhaps the Parker Brothers were trying to warn the public by designing a game in which the main goal is to bankrupt other players by accumulating the most money and property.
