and you have a potential recipe for disaster for the Tigers. Youth flames out There are camps in the Detroit Media who don’t have as high of hopes for the young Tigers. Jose Iglesias was a career .257 hitter in the minors and last year’s all star caliber season may have been a fluke in terms of offense. Nick Castellanos, the Tigers starting third basemen, has been inconsistent at best both offensively and defensively. The bottom half of the Tigers lineup is mostly unproven in terms of…

This is a special movie. It doesn't fit the normal "feel-good" drama genre though. This is one of those movies that pulls you in, let's you physically and mentally associate with the characters, fills you with hope, beats you over and over again, drains your emotional resources, and when the closing credits appear, feel something long after the end credits are done rolling. In a word - "mesmerizing". If I were to pitch this story to Hollywood, my pitch would be nine words: "A Beautiful Mind"…

In a tiny, run-down bar on the sketchy side of town, I sit at a booth with a hardened, grizzled war veteran who was drowning his sorrows with cheap liquor out of amber-tinted shot glass. Consequently,—because of Veteran's Day—in honour of those who served, I was asked to interview Colonel William Cohen McAdams—who served in the army, airforce, and the navy SEALs—for an article in the university paper. He was a decent-looking fellow—for someone who was missing an eye. Ironically enough, he…

Woohoo! What is better than spending the first part of your day shooting guns and then going out on the lake the rest of it? Well this summer that is exactly what I did and that is what makes it one of my most memorable days lately on our vacation to Tennessee. I expected it to be a bit boring considering it was my first vacation with my one and a half year old son. Instead I got to shoot guns while he slept hitting nearly all of the targets. Then we went to the lake where I got t canoe and…

Julius Lester’s poem, “Parents” reveals how quickly life can go wrong. A girl kills herself instead of her dog when forced to shoot it by her parents. This plot twist is similar to that in “That Room” by Tobias Wolff because people can’t plan everything and unexpected events will occur regardless of a person’s will. The article doesn’t hold this deeper meaning. However, Lester does and finds art in it. Art is perceived differently for every individual. Lester makes changes to the article to make…

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles,” (Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle). Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah, and Wisconsin are seven of the eight States that allow concealed guns on public universities and…

shown that players are replaceable pieces in the grand scheme of their plan. Brady was amazing this year but didn't play the strongest of competition. When playing legitimate defenses like Seattle, Denver, and Houston, his numbers aren't exactly MVP caliber. Though he doesn't choose his competition, Brady shows that he's great by not falling to the level of play of the weaker teams. He should dominate defenses like the Browns, Jets, 49ers, and others and he…

loaded and shipped primarily by African Americans out to the soldiers fighting in World War II (Sheinkin). Untrained African American soldiers had to load the ammunition while white soldiers commanded them. Some of this ammunition included small caliber bullets, incendiary bombs, fragmentation bombs, depth charges, and bombs up to 2,000 pounds(Browne). The cargo nets were lowered by the ships booms into a hatch, where they were packed layer by layer and secured with dunnage. The job was very…
