Charles Schulz was not a happy man. That's one thing that's clear from “Schulz and Peanuts”, David Michaelis's remarkable new biography of the legendary creator of the world's most famous comic strip.
“Cartooning will break your heart,” he told an interviewer late in life.
Lindsey Quigley can't wait to take what she has learned the past four years in the UA dance department and make dreams come true for young dancers as a teacher.
Quigley plans to help hearing impaired dancers at the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind in Tucson.
Damn son. Hyper Crush, the hip-hop, electro explosion fresh from San Fernando, Calif. has arrived.
Explanation of their musical moxie would be trivial; somewhere in the neighborhood of a SpankRock, Justice, Electric Six ménage à trios, or maybe Chk Chk Chk on steroids.
Contrary to the claims of most, I won't actually be fossilizing my limbs by cutting them off and burying them in topsoil so they can survive through the ages, enabling me to essentially live forever.
I wanted to quash the rumor because it's been tarnishing my reputation as of late, and quite frankly, it's for the most

The simple terms Kevin O'Neill uses to describe his defense make him sound like your average middle school basketball coach.
Man-to-man defense, no easy baskets, take away the open 3s and make the opposition shoot contested 2s.
But the Wildcats are not paying O'Neill $375,000 this year - believed to be the highest assistant salary in college basketball - for such simple strategy.
With men's basketball season starting up, the Wildcats have five burning questions to answer if they hope this season ends better than the last two:
1. How much of an impact can an
assistant
coach make?
The Arizona athletics department paid $375,000 for interim head coach Kevin O'Neill, surely betting that the answer is “a whole lot.
Incoming Arizona assistant coach Bernard Scott brings unanimously appreciated contribution to the women's basketball program, in all aspects of the game.
“He's very dedicated to what he's doing and wanting us to get better,” said freshman forward Ify Ibekwe.
UA head coach Lute Olson says that players often make their biggest jumps from their freshman to sophomore years.
If that's the case with sophomore forward Chase Budinger, the Pacific 10 Conference better heed that warning.
After a year in which he averaged 15.
The new era of Arizona women's basketball touts a fresh set of faces.
Incoming freshmen and transfers enter the season with the ability to create a huge impact, according to UA head coach Joan Bonvicini - notably, a trio of touted talent in Sarah Hays, Tasha Dickey and Ify Ibekwe.
After being infected with on- and off-the-court issues for the past three years, UA guard Jawann McClellan traveled to New York for a new start this summer - and it was all business.
Working out in Binghamton, Westchester and the Bronx, the summer was a time of rebuilding, mentally and physically, for the senior whose life as a college athlete has been all but easy.
If the Arizona women's basketball team learned anything from its injury-riddled season last year, it was this: Make sure you
have depth.
Head coach Joan Bonvicini applied this lesson well at guard this season after her seven backcourt players dwindled to only three over the offseason.
Jordan Hill introduced himself to the college basketball world as a freshman last season.
Now the sophomore forward's ready for
an encore.
“I played half a year,” Hill said. “That got my name out there. My name's still out there, but people want to see more, see what more I can do.
The Arizona women's basketball team was picked to finish eighth in the Pacific 10 Conference this season in the preseason media poll. In one of the top conferences in the nation, the Wildcats must prove themselves against a barrage of talent across the West Coast.
Jerryd Bayless will have his last name spelled across his back for a very long time - as a block-letter tattoo and on his basketball jersey.
It's almost as if he's always got his uniform on.
“Pretty much all I do is play basketball,” he said.

Studies have shown that twins tend to share a bond so strong that it could almost be described as mystical.
It's something UA head coach Joan Bonvicini learned after adding two pairs of twins to her roster last season.
Off the court, both sets of sisters illustrated their bonds by refusing to sign with a school that would not take their sibling as a tandem.
