Bravo to the American Institute of Architecture Students at ASU for competing in a food drive. Architecture seniors Mandel McDonnell and James Parker organized the event that spanned across the entire Herberger Institute. It is important to remember those who are less fortunate, and not just at this time of the year. Daily hunger for some is a perpetual problem, not one that comes only in the holiday season. These students have set an excellent example for us to follow on a daily basis. Blessings are being counted as Thanksgiving nears, and hopefully these people will feel blessed this year too.

Those who don’t get their Internet with Cox Communications were the winners on Tuesday night. Those with Cox experienced a long Internet outage, and this was all across the country. In simplest terms, we came to realize how dependent our generation is on the Internet.

The Occupy Phoenix protesters plan on occupying the light rail Thursday, which brings up a very important question: What do those who don’t have time to occupy with the Occupiers occupy instead of Occupying the classroom or their work places?

So much for the 2011-12 NBA season. Now the NBA players union is set to disband and negotiations with the team owners have ended, which means any hope for an NBA season has all but disappeared.

No matter which way you look at it, Wednesday night in Happy Valley was ugly for the Penn State student body.

Boo to Iran. A new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency showed an increase in Iran’s nuclear activity. The report, released earlier this week, all but confirmed suspicions that Iran was seeking nuclear power. The country defended its nuclear testing by saying that it was for energy, not weapons. The country claimed that Washington fabricated the report. Several European countries sided with the U.S. and are pushing for increased sanctions against the Middle Eastern country. Israel, Iran’s chief nemesis, has warned of a preemptive strike if it continues to pursue nuclear weapons, and the U.S. has said all options are on the table. It’s a no-good, sticky situation all around.

In 2009, the college football fans among us watched as Florida State’s Bobby Bowden and Penn State’s Joe Paterno fought for the title of the winningest coach in college football history. Bowden ultimately retired at the end of the season, leaving the title to Paterno, who at the beginning of this year began his 46th year as head coach of the Nittany Lions.

The sentencing of juveniles for heinous crimes is always an area of contention, but recent Supreme Court rulings have answered many of the questions. Now, the High Court must decide whether life without parole is constitutional for minors who committed murder when they were 14 years of age or younger.

There is always a scapegoat. Fans search for an individual to blame for an unexpected loss, and Saturday night’s scapegoat was freshman kicker Alex Garoutte.

Bravo to ASU student Lauren Meiss, who won a $19,000 scholarship to go research cystic fibrosis in Sweden. Doctors diagnosed Meiss with this disease when she was three months old. Cystic fibrosis, which causes mucus to clog up the lungs, is currently an incurable disease and has an average life expectancy of 35 years. It is her life goal to find a cure. “I have been given this gift to realize how precious life is,” Meiss told The State Press. Let us all remember this — someone in the face of so something so difficult is achieving exceptional things.

We Americans love our freedoms, and many of them are outlined in the First Amendment, including “the right of the people to peaceably assemble,” or, in simple terms, the right to protest.

Bill Clinton, Anthony Weiner, John Ensign, and now Herman Cain. This is only a small number of the politicians who have been accused of sexual-related wrongdoings.

The world population reached seven billion on Monday. Though the number of Earth’s inhabitants keeps growing, reaching such an astronomical number is not just symbolic. It brings into some serious questions about whether the Earth holds the resources to sustain such a large population.

Bravo to the upcoming cross-country Pac-12 Championships here in Phoenix. Saturday’s meet is the newly formed Pac-12’s first title competition across all sports, and ASU has the honor of hosting it at Litchfield Park. The cross-country championship is loaded in talent, with five nationally ranked teams in the men’s race and six in the women’s. While there’s a slim chance another title game will be held in Sun Devil Stadium this year, let’s not forget the football team is on track to represent the South division in the Pac-12s as well. Hopefully this could be symbolic for what’s in store for ASU Athletics in this new conference era.

ASU students can’t seem to hide from an outside stereotype — an overall lack of intelligence. Student athletes in general suffer the same perception, but a new report released Tuesday by the NCAA gives students that fit into both categories the statistics to battle the stigma.

Student loan debt finally outpaced credit card debt and will hit $1 trillion before the end of the year. Clearly our nation faces a student loan problem that needs immediate attention. Thankfully, the White House is taking action.

Bravo to the pedestrian bridge in Tempe that opened this week. The bridge, which allows people to cross from the Tempe Town Lake, had its grand opening Tuesday. Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman and residents jogged across the bridge at sunrise on Tuesday. While there is the Mill Avenue Bridge with all its pretty lights, it will be nice to have a pathway for pedestrians. The bridge also has a cooling system for the dam on Tempe Town Lake. Next time you are around the lake, take a jog, ride a back, or walk across the newest architectural gem in Tempe.
