Baylor University Homecoming Tradition - Pigskin Revue!!
Excited with Life:
I was so happy to be able to participate with Kappa Alpha Theta's Homecoming festivities which started off with the parade where we had a wonderful Homecoming breakfast and watched our amazing float titled the "The Gold Rush," come through downtown Waco. Following the amazing parade, I participated as a sunflower in my sororities Pigskin act! Then after a long afternoon of performances, I headed off to the Baylor vs. Missouri Football game which we won 42 - 39!! Yay Baylor, way to pull it out! Although we had an eventful day on Saturday, one must not forget about the massive bonfire on Friday night with the thrilling extravaganza!! I really must say that Baylor Homecoming is an important event that a true Baylor bear must never miss out on!!

Please Don't Go Doc Rivers!
http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nba/columns/story?columnist=may_peter&id=6521951
Head Coach Doc Rivers of the Boston Celtics is questionable as to if he should conclude his coaching career after tonight's game against the Miami Heat in Miami. Doc Rivers is a highly respectable coach and very liked by many. Rivers leaving Boston would be devastating to the true Boston fans. Although if he does decide to leave, he will be leaving with high stature and has the right to his own decision.
He oversaw the development of such youngsters as Rajon Rondo, Al Jefferson, Delonte West and even Gerald Green, getting them to the point that they were deemed to be valuable pieces in trades or potential trades for established stars. Those guys didn't just improve on their own. What Doc Rivers has done for the Boston Celtics, can be discussed for hours. It is on going. He will be highly missed and thus future coaches will have a big hole to fill.
"Rivers doesn't have to apologize to anyone for what he has done in Boston. He's earned the right to say goodbye on his own terms," said longtime Celtics reporter Peter May.

Baylor University Survives Tornado
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/us/28storm.html?_r=1&hp
A deadly tornado stretching a mile wide tore through downtown Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Wednesday evening, killing at least 15 people, flattening homes and buildings, and bringing further damage and death to a region already battered by storms.
Power losses were widespread across the University of Alabama, where many students were holed up after the tornado swept just south of the campus.
Emily Crawford, a third-year student at the law school, said she had been preparing for an end-of-semester exam when the tornado swirled by. By nightfall she was still at the law school, which had become a refuge for scores of students, many of whom spoke of devastation in their neighborhoods worse than they had seen reported from Hurricane Katrina.
“It is surreal,” Ms. Crawford said. “People are coming up to the law school because they don’t have anywhere else to go. The school is sending buses into town to pick up students and bring them back to campus so they have somewhere safe to stay.” The tornado was only the latest in a series that have struck the southern United States this week, causing heavy rains and flooding in an area stretching from Texas to Georgia, officials said Wednesday.
With the many Facebook status posts, tweets, and texts that were constantly updated with concerns about the first tornado alert for Baylor this year, students were thankfully not affected. Many student's were on lockdown in the library basement, or hiding with roommates in the bathrooms of their apartments or dorms. Alerts are to be taken seriously, and Baylor warned students through email, text message, and voicemail. Way to respond quickly in times of an emergency.
Why Do People Care?
http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/27/royal-wedding-what-royal-wedding/?ref=opinion
In an exclusive online commentary from the Times, David Brooks and Gail Collins converse about the Royal Wedding.
Gail Collins: Then you can explain why people are so excited about this. Is it because the rest of the news has been so awful lately? I can understand the desperate desire for diversion. My household is really, really engaged in the basketball playoffs this year, and I cannot help feeling this is partly because the alternative is gas prices, tornadoes, and Mitt Romney.
David Brooks: I hate to brag, but I’m interested in the basketball playoffs (it’s so interesting to watch N.B.A. players actually try), Mitt Romney and Kate Middleton all at once. I’m kind of a Renaissance man in that way. As for why people care, let me think for a second. Could it be that people are interested in those who are phenomenally good looking, unimaginably wealthy, globally famous and who get to live in a string of lavish palaces for the rest of their lives? Could it be that human beings are really interested in beauty, wealth, fame and terrific real estate?
Gail Collins: The one part of this that really bothers me — aside from the fact that I now know that the mother-of-the-bride has her future son-in-law as her cell phone screen saver — is that a disproportionate number of American little girls seem to nurture an ambition to grow up to become princesses. This is much worse than little boys nurturing an ambition to grow up to play guard for the Lakers. It’s a non-job. If Kate Middleton wants to be a good role model, she should go study dentistry or something.
David Brooks: I don’t see what’s wrong with having Prince William on your screen saver. I have Richard III on mine. Provides daily inspiration.
How do you feel about the royal wedding? Personally, as a little girl, I always imagined being a princess. What little girl doesn't? Why not let them pretend to live that life, until they grow up into reality. Don't we all wish that we could pretend to be someone we aren't at some points in our lives? What about right now? Therefore, yes the royal wedding can be an escape from the everyday American life, at least for a while.

Can't Stop the Celtics
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/18/sports/basketball/18knicks.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=celtics&st=cse
New York played the Boston Celtics, the defending Eastern Conference champions, down to the final seconds, losing only when Ray Allen — the author of countless memorable playoff moments — got the ball and a little open space at the arc.
Allen, the N.B.A.’s career 3-point leader, took a pass from Paul Pierce and sent the ball through the net with 11.6 seconds left, sending TD Garden into a happy frenzy. Carmelo Anthony missed a deep 3-pointer over Pierce seconds later, and the Celtics danced away with an 87-85 victory to open this first-round series.
As the buzzer sounded, Allen spiked the ball and was mobbed by teammates. The Knicks were left to ponder a grand missed opportunity after leading for most of the second half and blowing a 3-point lead in the final minute.
Celtics, way to pull out an awesome win in Boston!! Ray Allen congrats on that 3 pointer after all you are the N.B.A.'s career 3-point leader. Allen's execution on all his shots keeps the fans watching and even more excited for what could come next during the game.
Celtics fans are looking forward to hopefully another playoff win tonight! Way to go Boston!!
