Beer's effects on health: beyond the hangover

College and beer go hand in hand -like the ballpark and a hot dog, or hot day and a popsicle. But what many students may not know -or choose to care about -is the nutritional value of our beloved, fermented concoction of hops, malt, yeast and water.

Cutting carpools and common sense

When Ohio drivers receive their licenses, they face only one restriction on passengers -everyone in the front seat of the car must wear a seat belt. If the Ohio Department of Public Safety has its way, however, young drivers will have to abide by a new law that would allow only one passenger, other than family members, for 16-or 17-year-old drivers. While groups like the AAA Ohio Motorists Association claim the regulation would reduce risk for young drivers, teens and parents across the state are trying to halt this legislation. Wishful thinking leads to the belief that the one-passenger law will improve driving records. In reality, the new rule leaves drivers and law enforcement at a dead end. It's neither enforceable nor realistic.

The memory of more than 400 demolished villages and 750,000 Arab refugees fleeing from Israeli militias in 1948 have been erased by the Israeli government to discredit the internationally recognized right of the Palestinian people to live freely and independently in their own state.
