College Matt-ers: Homecoming is fun, but rather silly

I have tolerated Homecoming for the past four years, but being alarmed by a 20-foot tall gyrating green man outside Baker while I was trying to eat my burrito is the last straw in the ridiculous exhibition that is Homecoming week.

Science with Dan: Water is so much more than a thirst quencher

H2O. Water. Aqua. We give this substance a billion different names. We drink it every day of our lives. We usually start our days by pouring it all over ourselves. We even poop in it. It is everywhere and is involved in pretty much everything that we do. It is essential to our survival. We can only survive for three days without ingesting it, yet so often we set it aside and refuse to give it the respect that this nutrient deserves.

The PHILosopher: Backups are a must

I’m on my ninth iPhone and my second Macbook Pro. My 2010 Macbook Pro got stolen during a party last year and I bust more iPhones than beer bottles on any given weekend. Unfortunately, my column this week will be very short due to the fact that I have suffered water damage to my now second Macbook Pro.

Between the Lines: Shutdown causes delay in information, news

Phones go straight to voicemail. Messages on federal government websites apologetically confirm their dormant state, if they are even accessible. Amid the 800,000 furloughed government employees, some are public information officers in charge of communicating with the media and providing essential information. Those who are not furloughed are often overburdened and short-staffed. There is never a good time for Congress to slip into a political coma, but last week was an especially bad time to do so with Affordable Care Act Health Care Exchanges opening, the federal government shutting down and a car crash ending in tragedy in Washington D.C.

Green Beat: Omega-3 a necessary acid that's good for you and me

If you like the taste of fish more than the smell of it, then this is the column for you. Seafood tastes great — as your taste buds will attest — and it’s great for you, as research proves. But how can we get our seafood fix without killing the planet? I’ll tell you how, after looking at why one component of seafood has been in the news lately. I’m thinking, of course, of omega-3s.

That's A Wrap: 'Gravity' film should be out of this world

Gravity, the new Sandra Bullock and George Clooney movie, came out Friday and is now breaking box office records. With its $55.6 million three-day hull, Gravity has broken the record for best October weekend openings of all time, which is great for a film with a $100 million budget.

Beauty and the Bobcat: It's hard to pass up on makeup at drugstores

Last week I discussed how I went to CVS and purchased drugstore-brand foundation products, a difficult task that turned out to be not so bad. But I have a confession to make: I didn’t stop there… I also bought other products that I just couldn’t resist.

Gamer Girl: Shattered screen leads to new phone possibilities

After spending years treating my cellphones with care, the inevitable happened. I dropped my beloved Samsung Galaxy S3 on my driveway, leaving it to one of the worst fates cellphones can face: a cracked screen (I’m accepting condolence cards for my loss).
