Sour apples: Bulls go cold late as they fall short to Cougars in Emerald City

By NATHANIEL SMITH | Dec. 22, 2012

After a long 13-day hiatus, the men's basketball team was dealt a significant blow prior to its return to action when starting junior point guard Jarod Oldham went down with a wrist injury. An undermanned Buffalo (4-8) team's first trip to the Apple State was an unpleasant one, as a cold second half led to the team falling late to Washington State (8-4), 65-54, in the 2012 Cougar Hardwood Classic at the Key Arena in Seattle, Wash. In place of Oldham, who suffered a wrist injury during practice, freshman guard Jarryn Skeete slid in the point guard position and was aggressive from the tip, making the first shot of the game - a three-pointer - to give the Bulls the quick lead.

This we'll defend

Dec. 4, 2012

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and four servicewomen are suing the U.S. Defense Department to end the official ban on women from front-line units. Action is long overdue: it's time to end the military policy barring women from combat. Despite making up 14 percent of the nation's active military personnel, women have been officially excluded from most direct combat roles since 1994 when the Combat Exclusion Policy was passed.

Dec. 2, 2012

Saturday marked the 24th anniversary of World AIDS Day, and our nation is failing at creating the "AIDS-free generation" it so longs for as the high infection rates and low testing rates of the latest CDC report shows. New HIV numbers estimate of the approximately 50,000 people infected with the disease each year, over 1 in 4 (26 percent) are between 13 to 24 years old. HIV/AIDS has had a stigma for being just a "gay disease" since the first cases of the '80s.
