While the issues surrounding Jenin are complicated, (to address some claims of Zionists) one can't say that whatever happened in Jenin was a by-product of Palestinian propaganda.
UB wrestling coach Jim Beichner has said the regular season is really just a long warm-up for what really matters, the Mid-American Conference Tournament, and if all goes well, the NCAA tournament.That may be true, but Buffalo (12-5, 2-3 MAC) will surely need to perform better than Sunday's mixed results, which was the final tune up of their season when they hosted MAC rivals Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois Sunday.Buffalo started the day with a 25-9 loss to the Huskies and finished with a 26-18 win over the Eagles.One of the only positives of the first match was junior Kyle Cerminara's bout against the Huskies' Greg Reardon.Cerminara controlled Reardon's moves, going up 5-3 after two periods.

In increasing their 64-point per game output from last year to 73 a game this year, the UB men's basketball team's improved offensive play generally receives much credit for the dramatic overall turnaround on the court and in the standings.But in Saturday's ESPN Bracket Buster matchup with the Indiana State Sycamores, the Bulls relied on a bevy of tough defense.
Indoor Track and FieldIn a non-scoring affair, the UB men's and women's indoor track and field teams competed in the Kent State Tune Up on Saturday in preparation for the post season.The Kent State Tune Up was the regular season finale, and gave a chance for both schools to rest their top guns in anticipation of the Mid-American Conference Championships, which take place on Feb.

While it wasn't exactly a clash of the titans, the matchup between the UB and Akron women's basketball teams would surely give the victor some badly needed momentum with just a few games to go before the Mid-American Conference tournament commences in MarchBuffalo (6-17, 4-9 MAC) garnered some of that momentum and had three players scoring in double figures as they beat Akron (7-17, 2-11 MAC) in Ohio on Saturday, 61-54.But most pleasing of all for the team must have been Kim Kilpela's performance, a senior who had sat on the bench in the previous two games due to poor performance on the court.Kilpela, who had been verbally blasted by her head coach in press conferences after recent games, led all scorers with 17 points, 11 of which she scored in the first half of the game."(She) played one of her best games this year," said Bulls' head coach Cheryl Dozier.

At some point in childhood - often in the classroom, on the playground or at the school cafeteria - every kid learns his or her first harsh lesson about how the real world works.Because I'm from Buffalo, my comeuppance came in an unexpected field: urban planning.I lived on Humboldt Parkway, a famous Buffalo street with a six-lane highway - the Scajaquada Expressway - built right down the middle.One day, I asked my parents why our street was called "parkway" if it was built on a highway; and furthermore, who would build a highway down the middle of a street in the first place?They told me the highway wasn't always there.

Parties, alcohol and sexual activity are commonplace among college students but even in university life there are some situations when sex and parties go too far.
At its best, attending a musical performance can be akin to a religious experience.Robert Randolph and the Family Band understand that philosophy and made it their credo Friday night at The Sphere Entertainment Complex.Playing nearly three hours of energetic, adrenaline-pumping gospel-influenced blues to the packed venue, the band won over many audience-goers who were initially less enthusiastic to Randolph's performance.The lights dimmed for the group at 9:45 p.m., and they took the stage to an audience who had spent the previous 45 minutes clapping, chanting and screaming for Randolph.
