While Minnesota State has recently tried to put the idea of a campus-wide smoking ban to rest, a once unknown way of smoking is becoming popular among college students.
"More people are buying hookahs and more people are talking about smoking them with their friends," Smokes 4 Less employee Amanda Sonnec said.

Overweight comedians are often stereotypically thought to be addiction-prone, larger than life characters who hide behind laughs to achieve some sense of self-worth. Any fan of "The Howard Stern Show" knows that Artie Lange falls into this pigeonhole, and his new book Too Fat to Fish strengthens the claim.

Wanting Rod's rod (or Rod Stewart is sex)
There is no one on this Earth who can sell sex like Rod Stewart. Recently named as No. 59 on Rolling Stone's countdown of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, Stewart's growl has gone down in rock 'n' roll history as an ultimate combination of seductive sensuality and gruff masculinity.

With rumors afloat about how a flex dollar costs well over $1 in currency and with various menu options that don't always please the palate, it's easy to see how students can complain about the campus food services by Sodexo. Delicious desserts and all-you-can-eat buffet aside, money is money - and meals don't roll over week to week - what's up with that?
Sarjit Singh, the general manager of Sodexo at Drake, answered questions to dispel rumors, set the record straight and promote Bulldog Bucks.

Coldplay performed to an arena packed with enthused fans Nov. 13 at Kansas City's Sprint Center in the Power and Light District.
The globe-trotting, British soft-rock group took the stage a little after 9 p.m., following two opening acts - a country-tinged alt-rock group from Texas, and a DJ who laid down beats in sync with an acid-trip-esque cartoon video.

Every time Mirsada Kulovac passes the bridge near 13th and O streets, she remembers driving to her house for the first time.
The Kulovacs traveled more than 5,000 miles from Sarajevo, Bosnia, to finally reach that bridge eight years ago. But more than the distance, they survived three years on the front lines of the brutal Bosnian War, which lasted from 1992 to 1995.

Car chase, gun fight, foot chase, knife fight, airplane chase, gun fight, explosions: that pretty much sums up "Quantum of Solace," the 22nd film in the James Bond franchise.
While the action is intense and gritty as ever, fans of 2006's "Casino Royale" will undoubtedly miss that film's more compelling plot and stronger character development.

Devin Ferguson sits in an art-covered room, diligently doodling into a sketchbook he has set down on a leather lounge chair that looks like it belongs in the office of a prominent dentist. In a way, Ferguson's career is similar to that of a dentist: every day, he stands above clients who willingly experience pain to somehow better themselves.

In the warmer summer months, little makeup is worn because of the high temps and naturally golden glow, so you can get by with just some bronzer and mascara. Now that winter is just around the corner, it is time to fine tune your makeup routine. Cooler temperatures mean the opportunity to wear more makeup and to play with darker colors.

An English teacher once told me to never write the word "stuff" because there is always a more appropriate word or phrase to convey the message you are trying to say. Sadly, too much mainstream hip-hop these days, as well as every song not featuring an A-list cameo on T-Pain's "Thr33 Ringz," is essentially just a bunch of simplistic "artists" writing the word "stuff" over and over.
