Want to live longer? As it turns out, we may have the answer.

Watching the MLB All-Star Game is tough. Trust me. I tried. Last week's exhibition of American League dominance was, somehow, less interesting than ones prior. Manny Ramirez was absent, Ryan Howard choked, and Josh Hamilton just isn't as exciting when he's not addicted to drugs.
Some people say going to a hip-hop show is like going to church. The "Doggfather" of hip-hop came to Albuquerque's Journal Pavilion last Tuesday with a sermon that fell on more than 1,000 hungry ears.

What do you think UNM should do to reduce energy consumption on campus? Kyle Johnson Senior Linguistics and Spanish "I don't understand why all of New Mexico isn't solar powered.

Editor, On more than one occasion, I stopped by the one-stop system, located in the old Financial Aid office, to take care of my business involving the admissions, financial aid and registrar's offices. While I admit the one-stop system adds speed and accessibility of records in a central location, I also see a larger problem developing: privacy.
Is it just me, or did we trade the Cold War for a Colder War in the 21st century? We seem to have collected more enemies in the last couple decades, and worse, they seem to be getting more dangerous. Remember when our favorite rancher, George W. Bush, called them the Axis of Evil? We always need a bogeyman (or men) to prop up support for military action.
Wild Bill is calling for short films to headline his first-ever film fest at The Box Performance Space this Saturday.
