On this day in 1983 there was an assassination attempt on the fifth president of South Korea, Chun Doo-hwan. Two of the bombers who were captured ended up admitting to be North Korean military officers.
Recently, I made a pretty tough decision: When the time comes, I will be choosing to upgrade my dear Xbox 360 to the soon-to-be-released PlayStation 4 (go ahead and gasp).
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.
Bobcats, welcome to day two of Homecoming week and The Post’s throwback week. Today, we bring you the newspaper in the style of 1993.
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.
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.
Welcome to Homecoming week, alumni and students alike.
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.
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.
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.
A study recently found that man’s best friend could possibly see in slow motion, which may suggest dogs could potentially detect spirits.
It’s been more than a year since quarters gave up the ghost, but the pain of losing quarters still keeps me up at night.
It took traveling more than 6,000 miles, crossing an international border, losing luggage and running on barely any sleep — all in about four days — for me to come to one simple realization:
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).
On this day in 1890, Yosemite National Park was named a national park by the National Park Service, which is within the U.S. department of the interior. Interestingly enough, the park is currently closed on it’s anniversary due to the government shutdown.
Bedpost,
This week I was given the opportunity of a lifetime.
Ohio University is most definitely a heaven on earth. Big Mama’s diets mixed with a perfect attendance record at Liquor Pitchers are things I might mention on my résumé. Today, for one reason or another, it finally dawned on me… I’m a senior. It took me six weeks to realize I am about to leave my beloved Athens.
Many things have been written against lifestyle environmentalism. Some writers attack it as unnecessary, believing it exaggerates the damage human beings do to the environment. This is common among those who deny global warming is occurring or is caused by human beings. Others admit we are harming the planet, but argue that the focus on personal choices ignores the role technology and policy decisions have to play in decreasing and reversing these negative outcomes. Those of us who are convinced that the former group are ignoring the evidence find it easy to brush their arguments aside, but the latter present a stronger challenge. Do they have a point?
Even with so many films based on the lives of great people like Jobs, 12 Years a Slave and Saving Mr. Banks, it still came as a surprise to me when they announced a movie based on Mr. Rogers.
