Drop the book bag, kick off those shoes and socks, grab a mat, and get ready to stretch your horizons at one of UB's yoga classes.It is instructor Jacqueline Bogdan's hope that after 45 minutes of stretching, twisting, balancing, and synchronizing every move with their breaths, students will have worked out some of the kinks of everyday life."Sometimes I fall asleep at the end," Kelly Vo, a senior social sciences major, said.Vo, who goes to the gym on alternate days, uses the Tuesday and Thursday yoga classes to stretch and relax."It is really relaxing," Vo said.

As gusty winds carried the ball all over the place at Amherst Audubon Field during the consolation game of the Big 4 Classic, it was the Bulls baseball team that blew the record books wide open.Buffalo broke or tied several school records on the way to a 27-12 blowout win to clinch a third-place finish in the tourney.

If there were a terrorist color scale for "dangerously funny" movies, "RV" would fall somewhere in the green.
It's been a rollercoaster year for Kristen Ortman. The senior captain of the women's tennis team has had outstanding play on the courts, but to say she has had a rough year in her personal life would be an understatement.Ortman stands a little over five-feet-tall but her play during her four years with the Bulls has been big, including her serve, which has been clocked as high as 97 miles per hour.Ortman, who hails from Amherst and can see South Campus from her bedroom, has been playing tennis since the age of 7 in Buffalo.
Student Association President-elect Viqar Hussain learned a lesson about public speaking the hard way last week, making two racially insensitive remarks at an SA dinner that have strained his relationship with club members and colleagues.No one alleges that the comments were intentionally malicious, but those who were offended said the off-color jokes were flat-out shocking and call into question Hussain's leadership and social wherewithal."For the rest of his presidency, it's uphill from here, especially with the minority clubs," said Keri-Anne Marshall, coordinator for the People of Color club council.SA President Dela Yador said Hussain made a tremendous mistake that will put him in a hole before he even takes office, but he stands by the next president's character.Yador himself was at the center of Hussain's initial remark.
I was watching Sportscenter with a couple of my friends last semester when a football highlight came on and one of them said, "Man, I don't know how so many people like football, it requires no skill at all."Naturally, as an avid football enthusiast, I got offended and promptly responded "Yeah?
"Kinky Boots" is not quite the latest update on "The Full Monty," nor is it another English film about sexuality, but it is a movie about people that push the limits of acceptability.
It's been four long years since the release of "Gutterflower," but the Goo Goo Dolls are back and sharing the love with all the fans on "Let Love In."The new album "Let Love In," which has spawned radio hits "Better Days" and "Give A Little Bit," is a relatively calm and soft album compared to their days of heavy guitars, such as the 1995s "A Boy Named Goo."After what seems like forever since The Edge religiously played "Long Way Down," the Goo Goo Dolls have grown up collectively over the past decade and it is apparent on the new record.
In February, a provocative column about abortion ran on our opinion page. If you were to look for it on our Web site today, however, it does not appear in our archives.
Current: "The Areas of My Expertise" by John Hodgman (2005)Hodgman audaciously parodies the almanac, but instead of publishing stoic summations and extrapolations, he litters his text with lies.
