Sex and the CT: Abusive relationship scars masculinity
My girlfriend is always ragging on me and it makes me feel like crap. I would love to get her to stop but I don't want to sound like a wimp. She can be really mean and I'm afraid if I tell her how I feel it will only get worse. I really don't want […]
Rare books exposed
If the different libraries at UR were teenagers in high school, Rush Rhees Library would be the rich popular kid - people always flock to him and he owns most of the stuff people want and need. Carlson Science and Engineering Library would be the best friend - best with one-on-one contact and can handle […]

Apparently, if one forgets to place both shower curtains inside the shower, the bathroom floor turns into a lake. Subsequently, when one walks through this lake with flip flops, one is almost guaranteed to go waterskiing into the […]

Role models engineer trail
This week at the Biomedical Engineering Society Conference, I found a female mentor in engineering. It only took until my senior year of college.

Nominee disturbs
Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination continues the pattern of toying with the American public that President George W. Bush began with his nomination of Justice John Roberts. Her razor thin rsum speaks for itself - the absence of judicial experience and published legal articles or reviews portrays President Bush's candidate as an individual devoid of […]
Iraq war undermines national security
When I wrote this article, President George W. Bush's adventure in Iraq cost this country over $198 billion, 1,935 lives and 14,641 wounded. Nearly 30,000 Iraqi civilians have also lost their lives.
