The biggest story of this year has been the trade of Alex Rodriguez to the Yankees. With A-Rod at third base and Derek Jeter at short, the Yankees have what - on paper - is probably the best left-side of any infield ever.Everyone has different opinions as to how the Bronx Bombers and A-Rod will fare this season, including this week's Sharpest Point competitors, arts editor "Metal" Mike Flatt and managing editor George "Scorenick" Zornick.They will be judged on a scale of 1-10 in three categories: Strength of argument, factual evidence and style.

I write this is response to Fabio Albertin's letter of Feb. 16 to the editor "Feedback Letters Missed their Point" regarding my own feedback submission.In his letter, Albertin noted that I had missed "the deeper meaning." This "deeper meaning" expressed by Albertin, whether purposeful or not, is the complete lack of respect for property rights and the advocacy of theft through the government instead.Mr. Albertin calls for us to use the federal government to start "imposing limits on how much money customers could be charged for a CD, or conversely, how much of the profits made from album sales artists should be receiving." Please follow me as I point out the "deeper meaning" of this to you.

Dear Mo,In lieu of your successful endeavor to enter the 2004 NFL draft, I, a college student, would greatly appreciate your time in answering several questions.It is on behalf of college students everywhere hoping (and I stress hoping) that their college degree will serve as a ticket to a financially secure and stable life, that I ask that you answer with honesty and utmost sincerity.After all, it was you that felt the need to rebelliously buck the system set forth by an established and almost inconceivably wealthy conglomerate monster: the National Football League.
If two things could sum up America's obsessions, they might be football and beer.Yet despite its potential to bring in revenue, many colleges - including UB - have decided that beer sales and campus football games don't go together.College campuses have varied policies regarding alcohol sales at athletic events; Many SUNY schools, which tend to have relatively low-profile athletic programs, choose not to serve alcohol at collegiate football games."Determining whether or not to sell alcohol at athletic events is a campus-based decision," said Dave Henahan, director of media relations for SUNY.
The era of flowing taps at football games is on the horizon. It is creeping up, entering the minds of students and administrators, showing positives stronger than negatives.
Alumni Arena is getting a makeover.The Bulls will be stepping onto a brand new floor when they kick off next season as Alumni Arena is scheduled for a complete renovation, which will include new basketball offices and the elimination of the old bleachers."These improvements to our arena are a continuing demonstration by both the University and our supporters to the commitment of our intercollegiate athletics program," said Bill Maher, Interim Director of Athletics earlier in a statement.New chair back seating that is proposed will eliminate the discomfort of the old bleachers and could change the atmosphere at Bulls games, moving students closer to the court.Capacity will decrease by about 2,000 people, bringing it to around 6,500 seats, due to new fire safety codes.
The Coral, a young six-man band originating from a small town on England's west coast, may have the right idea for rising to mainstream stardom, but the band falls far short of being an indie rock standout.While The Coral's sound is a unique blend of soft rock and folk, they have a long way to go to effectively create a solid style and identity; their music often seems unrefined and shaky.

All over the world, cities have experienced the problem of sinking buildings. Venice. Toronto. Mexico City.The latest: Amherst.Over the past year, an increasing number of Amherst residents filed complaints citing foundation damage ranging from buckling to cracking, all due to this "sinking" effect.However, while UB professors and students' homes have sustained damage, the campus itself is safe on account of careful construction, UB geologists say.Darlene Torbenson and her son Greg, a junior electrical engineering major at UB, were two such residents to witness the unexpected deterioration of their house on Dappled Drive in East Amherst.In 1997, the Torbenson home began to display signs of differential settlement, a process in which portions of the ground beneath a home settle, causing parts of the house to rise and other parts to sink.
