The hospital room became a very familiar place for junior Jonathan Craig last spring. He was sent there after playing the sport he loved gave him a fractured hip and jammed a safety pin into his arm. Craig isn't a football player or a varsity athlete. He's a member of AU's Cycling team.
A nervous energy permeated the 9:30 club through all four sets of Monday's show, the "Ska is Dead ... And You're Next" tour. Catch-22 headlined the tour, and The Planet Smashers, Big D and the Kids Table and Mustard Plug opened to an increasingly enthusiastic crowd. After an astounding set of openers, Catch-22 was the cap on the night that everyone needed.
Throughout history, women may have been credited for sparking trends, but it's typically men who are the driving force behind the designs. Major fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Chanel, Burberry, Dior, Gucci and countless others are currently headed by men. So it's baffling why the average man is not targeted more in terms of fashion advertisements and magazines.
In high-level tennis, hit a forehand straight at your opponent, and the next thing you know, he swats it back down the line for a winner. Drive a backhand too close to the line, it misses wide, and you lose the point.
Most basketball games played by teams in the major five conferences get televised. The players on those squads make the cover of national sports magazines and are glorified on television. While those players come and go, sometimes sooner than later, there is only one constant image with which fans can become familiar: the head coach. Naturally, when he decides it's his last season on the sideline, the nation takes note.
Henry IV
About a year ago, John Kerry struck me as the strongest potential challenger to President Bush. He was a Vietnam veteran, distinguished senator and levelheaded. He shared initials with another JFK and looked like a president. With Kerry, there were no surprises. He was the Democrat's Democrat, and a safe choice to be the nominee. ÿ
Lafayette's Justin DeBerry has it made for a Patriot League point guard. Third in the conference in assists, he can look to the wing for Winston Davis, a 55 percent three-point shooter in PL games.
"The Big Bounce"
Professor Emeritus Burton Wechsler, veteran professor at AU's Washington College of Law and champion for progressive activism and First Amendment Law since 1948, died Jan. 18.
I was puzzled in my first semester of college by a prophetic English professor who said, "Your generation may be the first to have a worse life than the one before it." I generally expect such doomsday prophets to be standing on a street corner accosting bystanders with this sort of preaching. Hearing it from a respectable professor was indeed a reality check. Since the baffling prophecy, every class, newspaper, book, evening news and blog I have experienced have presented a new problem to support the case.

I once tried to start a college football program here at AU. I recruited some solid blue-collar players, secured a position in the reforming Big East and designed striking AU blue and red uniforms as well as a reasonable 30,000-seat stadium named Quillen Memorial Field, despite the fact that I'm not dead yet.
Against the wishes of a committee organized by an AU history professor, the Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum intends to continue with its planned display of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima Aug. 6, 1945,
Here is a quote from an Aug. 18, press release from The National Air and Space Museum: "In presenting the reassembled Enola Gay, museum director Gen. J.R. 'Jack' Dailey said, 'Because of the work of some very talented men and women, future generations will sense first-hand the unalterable significance of this aircraft in World War II and human history. Let's learn from it.'" ÿ
11. AU Soccer comes close: Men's Soccer has consistently been one of AU's strongest athletic programs, competing and winning against top-ranked competition. But some credit for this success has to be given to the 1985 team, which barely missed a national championship.
Hi. My name is Elliot Smilowitz, and I'm addicted to fantasy sports.
D.C. is in for another wicked winter weather season this year, according to local forecasters.
A man stops to copy an engraving on the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial yesterday in remembrance of Veterans Day. Some governments, schools and businesses chose to close, but more common were reflection assemblies and moments of silence.
