A few days ago I was flipping through channels, trying to
find something to watch that was insightful yet not related to the current GOP

For those of you who didn’t make it to UCO’s Job’s Fair yesterday, you may have missed a golden opportunity to present your self and your resume to prospective employers.

The 2012 Oscar nominations were just announced, and the Best Picture nominees include: The Artist, The Descendants, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, War Horse, and a rather surprising entry, Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life.  I say surprising because the film has divided many critics and movie [...]
