On Friday evening a University of Baltimore student was hit by an MTA bus. The incident temporarily closed traffic around the intersection at St. Paul and 33rd.
In the past year, a shocking number of undemocratic regimes have been met with adamant citizens demanding more freedom. For a while, members of the Kremlin were proud that Russia was an exception. This pride, however, may have gone a little too far. A few months ago, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced that he and President Dmitry Medvedev would nonchalantly ‘swap' roles, thrusting Putin into a leadership position for potentially the next 12 years.
On February 7, the Johns Hopkins University Muslim Association (JHUMA) hosted its annual Muslim Mosaic, which presents the various regional and cultural diversities of Islam. The event showcased cultural delicacies, clothing and music from around the Muslim world and attempted to expose Hopkins students to the heterogeneity of a little-understood — yet global — religion.
People around the world that live in the midst of oppressive regimes have only a few options when it comes to gaining freedom. Often they organize protests against the government and wait for a response.
As a student, my mind is always on the future. We're an ambitious group of youth at Hopkins, and personally. I don't know a single one of us who isn't excited for the possibilities of what's to come. That's why Governor O'Malley's Offshore Wind Energy Act of 2012 is our best opportunity to ensure that there will be more opportunities in the future.
The Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine recently published a study on pluripotency in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences. The study engages the possibility of repudiating the popularly conceived notion that pluripotency is necessary to achieve transformation from a general cell type into a specific one. Pluripotency is the process by which stem cells become differentiated into specific cell types.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, recently discovered adverse radioactive effects of seawater used to cool nuclear plant damaged during the natural disaster that struck Japan almost a year ago.
A Hopkins student was rescued by fellow students and an unaffiliated bystander after being pinned by the knee and trapped in a cave on Tuesday, Jan. 24.
"Save it all up here, think about it later" was the advice given by Slick Johnson, the host of The GalHaus Revue's third annual Big Show, held last weekend. And this MICA student run burlesque show certainly gave the audience plenty to remember. . . vividly. Eight lovely performers danced one by one in a night of perfectly coiffed hairdos, T-strap heels and garter belts galore. The range of body types was a special treat — from voluptuous to dainty, every dancer did their thing with impressive skill. Between each act, the host and his assistant Chevy Lace gave tidbits of tantalizing backstory for each dancer — and slowly lost bits of clothing themselves.
When one often hears of a story about a group moving from an old homeland to a new one, they often believe they can predict how the story will turn out: some minor strife between the villagers, some conflict with the natives of the new land, then cooperation and a happy ending for all.
Most likely, you've heard of Lana Del Rey. She burst to fame and notoriety recently after a weirdly lethargic performance on Saturday Night Live, and now the artist formerly known as Lizzy Grant has released her debut album (at least, if you don't count her 2010 release under her former name, which Del Rey has sought to bury).
Arsenic and Old Lace does not translate well into 2012. Unfortunately, the Vagabond Players have chosen it for their Jan. 6 — Feb. 7 showing.
If you are looking to get involved with Greek Life here at Hopkins, head's up! The 2012 Formal Recruitment is about to begin.
I will admit that at times, quite often really, I feel too lazy to make a trip anywhere outside of Charles Village on a given weekend, whether it's because of the weather or just a lack of motivation to go anywhere. Often, some of my friends share this laziness, generally we're too big of a group for us to play video games.
My very first Ting Talks column was written off-the-cuff, in a moment of desperation — it was a late night at the Gatehouse, and one of our writers had fallen through. At the time, I was obsessed with Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair," and I wrote about how epic that song was and continues to be.
This Single of the Week, "What Comes Next," comes from Swedish-born singer Theresa Andersson's upcoming album Street Parade, which is set to be released later this spring on April 24 from Basin Street Records.
Season six of NBC's award-winning show 30 Rock premiered Jan. 12 after a half season break. The show picks up in real time, where the staff of "TGS With Tracy Jordan" is just coming back from winter vacation. Tina Fey, star and executive producer, just gave birth to her second child, thus causing the delay. Although they had to wait impatiently for too long, fans were not disappointed. The premiere, entitled "Dance Like No One's Watching," finds Liz Lemon happy, refreshed and ready for work. Her colleagues and superior, Jack Donaghy, find this entirely puzzling. She laughs at Kenneth's silly clown suit and skips down the street, which are things regular Liz would never do.
The classics department might normally get the brush-off, but not after this intersession. The students in Robert Powers's intersession class, Retelling the Ancient Story, worked together to produce 10 short plays and films that revised old myths into scandalous new stories.
Earlier this year, Roger Ebert, the premier American film critic, put out an article entitled "Sequels and Unoriginality in Hollywood." In it, he basically rants that the 27 sequels that came out this year were a result of Hollywood's collective money-hunger and our collective stupidity for fueling them (seeing as nine of the top ten movies this year were, in fact, sequels.)
A University of Baltimore student was hit by a city bus in the intersection of St. Paul and 33rd Streets on Friday evening, temporarily halting traffic in the thoroughfare and drawing a crowd of onlookers until the scene was cleared.
