Before the election, Eminem released the lamest video of this election season. Cartoons of young infuriated people threw down their disappointments and suited up in black sweatshirts similar to those worn by the revolutionary anarchist black bloc. They stormed through the streets, at one point resolving police confrontation with a fire hose, their masses building. more >>

Life is expensive, and a good life can be down right pricey.
The process starts early. Childhood. The suburban child's needs are adequately provided for. Shelter in a nice home, three square meals a day and parents who at least love the child enough to prevent them from physical harm. Wants are given on top of the needs. Toys accumulate, are played with and eventually discarded. Instant gratification becomes learned and ingrained into behavior. Our parents became the bank or the credit card. Behaving or promising to behave in certain ways at some future time, the child begs, persuades and threatens with the result of the parents caving in to their demands. more >>

What do you do when your hero, the man you hoped to study with, dies? When Dr. William Moritz, a world-renowned expert on experimental film, animation and visual music died in March, Mike Hance conceived an alternate plan to honor the man he considers his mentor.
"I felt like, rather than go to grad school, I would ... do kind of a tribute to him, and hopefully increase my own learning of what he was about," explained Hance. more >>

It's been said that the third time is a charm. On Saturday, Nov. 6, the No. 2 Metro women's soccer team (20-1-0) faced-off against No. 11 Regis University (18-4) for the second time in as many weeks. This time, it resulted in a 1-0 shutout win for the 'Runners. This time, the game was for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament title and a chance to secure home field for the upcoming NCAA regional tournament. more >>

Volleyball (16-13)
Unlike seasons past when Metro would host the tournament, this year they are going on the road. The road hasn't been particularly good to the volleyball team ... it's not really the road (because they're 7-5 on the road), but where they're traveling- that's been the problem. The 'Runners are going to a place where they aren't wanted: Nebraska. The Neb-Kearney Lopers must be hoping-no, wait-begging that the 'Runners beat New Mexico Highlands so they have the pleasure-no, wait-the honor of finally being able to beat the 'Runners in the playoffs. If revenge is to be avoided and Metro's volleyball team can hand the Lopers their first loss of the season, they will still have to possibly beat the Fort Hays State Tigers. Although I would like to see that happen, I don't think it will. But, hey, at least the younger players will get some playoff experience. more >>
