Jeane Kirkpatrick, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, used these words in 1984 to describe San Francisco Democrats: "They always blame America first."

Last Sunday, a slew of protestors took to the streets of Baghdad. It hardly grabbed my attention until I noticed the headlines; the participants of the march were Iraqi Christians, contesting the passage of a law that would remove the quota system in Parliament and effectively end any guarantee of minority seats in the legislature, including those for Christians.

Amidst the financial turmoil of the last few weeks, one thing seems out of the ordinary. The value of the dollar has been steadily rising.
Many question why, in the face of such economic instability in the U.S., the dollar, which symbolizes America's reputation as the most important player in the world's economy, would strengthen in value? By taking a look at past financial crises in Asia, Russia and Mexico, one clearly sees that local currencies have always been devastated as a result of investors losing confidence in their economies.

With unemployment rates rising, students, especially graduating students, have to struggle to climb to the top of the mountain to snatch a job.
Because job opportunities are slim, there is no room for errors, or for inappropriate pictures on Facebook, where employers scout students out before saying, "You're hired!"
"No question, this is a difficult job market," said Adam Mayer, director of career development at the Center for Career Services and Community-based Learning in Morehead Hall, third floor.
