George Saunders was born in Amarillo, Texas, in 1958 and was raised in Chicago. He originally thought he would join a rock band after high school, but two teachers influenced him to attend college. He graduated from Colorado School of Mines, a mineral engineering college, with a degree in Geophysical Engineering in 1981. He worked his first job in Sumatra, Indonesia as a field geophysicist and began writing stories during this time. He returned to the United States after two years, and held various jobs in Los Angeles, including slaughterhouse laborer, roofer, convenience store clerk and bar-band guitarist. He moved back to Texas, and was soon accepted into Syracuse University's Creative Writing Program. He met his wife, Paula, at Syracuse. Three weeks after he met her, he proposed, and they married in May 1987. In 1997, he accepted a teaching position in the Syracuse University creative writing program. He has been teaching there ever since, along with writing several works, including "The Braindead Megaphone," "CivilWarLand in Bad Decline," "In Persuasion Nation," and "The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip."

Your car would not run very well on unclean fuel nor would it be able to get you where you need to go if the tank is on "E." I liken this scenario to the human body. It must be replenished with proper nourishment after it has been broken down due to physical activity. So why would you want to knowingly sabotage all of your well-intentioned efforts in the gym by not fueling up afterward? Perhaps he or she is uninformed or deliberately neglecting exercise regimes. I posit that it seems relatively easier to throw some dumbbells around in the gym but it takes a more concerted effort when paying attention to the proper fuel consumption and when to execute your meals. Those who think they can diet without exercising and those who think they can eat whatever they want because they exercise, are sadly misguided.

Richmond Spider fans in Richmond, New York City and across the country gathered together Saturday to watch No. 12 Richmond defeat No. 13 Morehead State and advance to the fourth round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1988.
DENVER — After receiving a 12 seed despite winning the Atlantic 10 Conference title and automatic berth, there were questions about whether the Spiders would have made the tournament had they lost the A-10 title game. Richmond, which admittedly felt slighted by the low seeding, played like it as it defeated No. 5 Vanderbilt University in the second round and then No. 13 Morehead State University, 65-48, to get to San Antonio.
DENVER — The No. 12 seed University of Richmond upset No. 5 Vanderbilt, 69-66, Thursday afternoon at Pepsi Center in Denver, Colo. Senior Kevin Anderson scored nine straight points as Richmond went on a 9-0 run to turn a three-point deficit into Richmond's first lead of the game at 51-48 with 12:04 left to play in the game. "We don't want to be one-and-done," Anderson said. "We're excited for this win. We want to keep looking forward into this tournament, not just being satisfied with this win. ... We won one game, but didn't win the tournament. That's our ultimate goal."
