Green Party candidate protests debate exclusion

Douglas Campbell stood in the middle of Republicans and Democrats milling outside Michigan's gubernatorial debate Monday, distant from the fray inside. He is the Michigan Green Party's gubernatorial candidate. According to WKAR-TV employees, Campbell, who did not meet necessary criteria to speak at Monday's debate broadcast from the Communication Arts and Sciences Building, attempted to enter but was turned away. Tim Zeko, executive producer for WKAR-TV, which hosted the debate, said candidates needed at least 5 percent in the polls to participate. "None of the minority parties were polling anything close to that," he said, referring to the U.S.

Columnist lists guidelines for season's partywear for men

My optimism rapidly faded once I was inside the living area crowded with beautiful girls, fashionable decor and old-fashioned glasses stacked with ice and fine liquor. I realized this was no place for an underdressed beer-toter such as myself. Many MSU students have said goodbye to summer and, with that, the concept of open parties. Instead, they're preparing for exclusive, sophisticated parties with themes: black and white, wine and cheese, etc. For guys, these new parties require a new look, and some new styles have great options for guys looking to drink fancy and look good while doing it. Jackets Functionality is essential when looking for a great jacket. Jackets are generally bigger on the shoulders, but they shouldn't hang over much — just enough to round out a man's frame.

Sports conditioning can prevent injuries

By Kyung M. Song The Seattle Times Seattle (MCT) — Planning to run a marathon but your longest run still has not cracked the double-digit mile mark? Want to join a soccer league even though most of your exercise comes from scooting around in a swivel chair? Think it would be fun to play dodgeball for the first time since, well, third grade? Warning: You may be risking shin splints, tendinitis, stress fracture or worse. Even if you are fit, making sudden, unaccustomed demands on your body is as unwise as sliding head-first into home plate — it is needlessly dangerous.

MSU can't hold the line

It was a game that wasn't supposed to be close. MSU was expected to put up big offensive numbers against Illinois Saturday, answering any questions about the lingering effects of the Notre Dame collapse. But after a disappointing 23-20 loss, the Spartans failed to respond to that question and raised many more about an offense that put up just 259 total yards. "We should be able to put up 40 points on Illinois," senior center Kyle Cook said.

Vitamins not solution to students' imbalanced diets

College students who use vitamins as sources of nutrients often do so because their hectic schedules can force them to eat foods high in convenience but unsavory for their health. But vitamins can't replace a healthy diet and should only be used as a backup for healthy food choices, experts say. Peggy Apostolos, an Ingham Regional Medical Center dietitian, said one misconception about vitamins and supplements is that they can replace foods that have the same nutrients. "People might think that they don't have to eat a healthy diet, and will think, 'If I don't have any protein, I'll just take a multi-vitamin,'" Apostolos said. That assumption is false because nutrients in vitamins aren't as easily absorbed into the body as the same nutrients in food, she said. Nutrients in vitamins could pass through the body while nutrients from food would be absorbed. Also, vitamins do not contain essential protein, fat or carbohydrate, and won't give you the energy that food will, she said. Eating nutritious food should always come before taking vitamins, with the exception being people who are allergic or intolerant to certain foods, said Ronda Bokram, registered dietitian and health educator at Olin Health Center. Since the body can store a limited amount of each nutrient, excess amounts of nutrients don't necessarily lead to any improvements, Apostolos said.
