Each year I look forward to the Montana State University Graphic Design Thesis Show. One reason is because I am an alumni of the MSU Design program but an even bigger draw for me is the truely awesome work the students produce year after year. Each student is given a semester to create a theoretical or actual business and present a final design project that would work in the real world. Each year I leave the show inspired and intrigued by the talent at MSU.

Fourth Grade students of Bozeman's Emily Dickinson Elementary School were honored with choosing the first photos to be released from the two satilites, Ebb and Flow, orbiting the moon. The students won this honor by submitting the winning names, Ebb and Flow, for the two satellites in a national contest. The photo they chose gives a great depiction of the far side of the moon along with Earth just off the horizon. Two things you never get to see while stationed here on Earth.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum went to Puerto Rico last week to gin up support for the GOP primary which took place on the island territory over the weekend. He probably would’ve been better off staying stateside, as he ended up getting crushed by GOP rival  Mitt Romney 83 to 8% in the contest.

And, apparently that translates into wearing anything green and silly we can get our hands on and having as much to drink as we can carry at one time.

Even if you aren’t a sports fan, you’ve probably been hearing an awful lot about this Jeremy Lin fellow. The New York Knicks point guard’s completely-out-of-nowhere run began on February 3rd when the-then obscure bench warmer came off the pine to spur the Knicks to a victory over the New Jersey Nets. He was inserted in the starting line-up after that, and since then has led the Knicks — who were previously league laughingstocks — to six more wins in a row.

What’s the Super Bowl about, really? Unless you’re a supporter of one of the two teams participating (or have a very large wager on the game) even serious sports fans can get caught up in all the chili-baking, party-attending, big-screen-TV-buying hoopla surrounding this unofficial national holiday.

So that’s why this photo of a skillfully assembled cold cut football stadium probably says more about the Super Bowl and what it has become than any monosyllabic answer the media is going to finally coax out of Patriot coach Bill Belichick this week.

I was at Walmart and was walking up to the front of the store and noticed that someone had a sign in their Jeep window. Thought the CAR was for sale. Nope...a house. What? Where is the picture and price
