After a weekend of winter weather that accumulated about 5 inches of snow in Columbus, another major storm is expected to hit the Midwest by Wednesday. The Weather Channel says that Columbus will see a snow accumulation of 6 inches or more today. The storm will then move east Tuesday night, creating blizzard conditions along the southern New England coast.

Heavy soda drinkers may want to take a step back from their sweetened soft drinks. A University of Minnesota study conducted in Singapore found that people who drink two or more sodas a week have an 87% higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Those who drank fruit juice rather than sodas did not have the risk.

With the most romantic holiday of the year coming up, a new Roy-ter’s poll has gathered some interesting information. A survey of 24,000 people throughout 23 countries said that one-fifth of adults would choose to spend Feb. 14 with their pet rather than their spouse. The most romantic country is France, with only 10% of those surveyed choosing pets over partners.

Buckeye football fans are holding their breath while awaiting the decision of the No. 1 offensive tackle recruit in the country, Shawn-trell Henderson, and whether he will choose to play for USC. USC coach Lane Kiffin has made a verbal offer with another prospect for the quarterback position. Thirteen-year-old David Sills of Wilmington, Del. verbally committed on Friday to playing for USC. The seventh-grader says that USC has always been his dream school.

Students who have recently attended the men’s basketball games are likely to have noticed a new addition to the second half of the games: Buckeye Dance Force. It is rumored that Athletic Director Gene Smith will also allow the dance team to cheer at home football games. I don’t see the point of having a dance team in addition to the traditional cheerleaders for games. A better idea would be to simply increase the number of cheerleaders.
