Is Airport Security Going to Extremes? -by Katie Sanso
Slowly but definitely, airports are becoming more strict with regards to who and what is allowed on planes, along with the restrictive measures of security taken to deter suspected terrorists. This fear of harm and heightened level of security is understandable, if not desirable. However, it is imperative that civil liberties and constitutional amendments are not restricted in this process.

2009 was a mixed year: a year of happiness, as well as a year of sadness. Overall, I would say that 2009 was one of the better years of the decade. 2009 was a year of greatness.

Life on the "Jersey Shore"-by Diana Yetman
Fist-pumping, drunken fights, and guidos galore. For the past couple of months there words would bring nothing else to mind except the popular MTV reality show, Jersey Shore. Snooki, Pauly D, Sammi “Sweetheart”, Mike “The Situation”, Ronnie, JWoww, and Angelina are the main characters, for those of you that have been living under a rock, and were hired to work at one of the many boardwalk t-shirt shops. Their boss allowed all of them to stay in his shore house for the remainder of the summer.

Jets Going to the Super Bowl!?!? -by Christopher Caputo
One month ago the chances of the Jets making it into the playoffs were impossible, they kept losing winnable games and were not even in the Wild Card contention. Luckily, due to all the teams the Jets needed to lose losing, and some tough teams they faced (like the Colts) sitting their starters, the Jets rolled into the playoffs. In the first round the Jets beat the Bengals in what basically was a blowout game. Now the Jets go to San Diego to play the tough Chargers; although the Jets are the underdogs I believe they do have the potential to go to the Super Bowl.
