For the last 27 years, Elmo has been a part of every child's education.
Even Neil Patrick Harris couldn't save the disaster that was A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas. The third installment of the Harold and Kumar series takes place six years after the second film in the series, Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay ends. Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) are now estranged, with Harold having become a successful businessman on Wall Street while Kumar lazes around at home, smoking weed and bumming around. They are reunited when Kumar receives a package meant for Harold, and he travels to Harold's to deliver it.
There is a certain mythology attached to any Rolling Stones record, and 1978's Some Girls is no exception. This must be due in part to the wild state of the band members' personal lives around the time of the album's creation. As the star of the story, charismatic lead singer Mick Jagger was prancing around New York City and feeding off the outbreak of disco and punk.
To all of the dank basements cluttered around campus, a new pong and grinding soundtrack has been found!
Our contemporary fixation with things that refuse to go away, like zombies or vampires, seems appropriate when listening to Back to Me.
Imagine a doctor driven mad with the desire for recognition and grant money, to the point where innocent lives are merely the cost of what he sees as the greater good of his research. When you pick up D.M. Annechino's Resuscitation, you will meet one of the most peculiar serial killers with the strangest of motives and methods to his madness.
Private Lives dives in with two cross-examinations on the hotel balconies of two couples' respective honeymoon suites.
I wanted to write a review of Skyrim, but then I realized that it wasn't a great use of my time. See, there are dozens, hundreds of reviews of Skyrim put out by journalists more intelligent and trustworthy than I.
Zombie Debt, a new movement on campus, held an informational meeting yesterday to raise awareness about the dangers of increasing student debt. The group distributed zombie-themed fliers, decrying what they call an educational system of "interminable debt." The fliers also shed light on the fact that tuition has risen four times faster than inflation since the 1970s. And to compound this crisis, the group purports that any attempts to speak out and campaign for reform have been met with "brute force" and riot police. It is an amalgam of iniquities, they argue, that has caused such mounting student debt. High unemployment, sovereign debt and rising resource prices have made it possible, they conclude, to criminalize poor students and people of color in a broken "system of global finance."
On Tuesday the SGA Academic Affairs committee sent an e-mail to the student body outlining plans for increased enforcement of Reading Period regulations. The new program involves a system for anonymously reporting infractions to the appropriate advising offices. Now students can pursue multiple avenues when reporting professors who are misusing reading period.
After a NATO aircraft mistakenly targeted and killed 24 Pakistani troops at a border checkpoint last Saturday, Pakistan-United States relations have dropped to an all-time low. Enraged over the attack, Islamabad has shut off U.S. supply routes to Afghanistan and ordered the CIA out of Shamsi air base, which the agency uses to carry out its unmanned aerial drone program.
We've been hearing a lot about the troubles that European governments have faced in dealing with crippling amounts of debt. But even though this particular debt crisis originated in Europe, it has negative implications on the world, and especially in the United States. Every time bad news comes out of Greece, Italy or any other European Union country, U.S. investors are hit hard with huge losses in the Dow. This is because American banks have over $800 billion worth of exposure to Europe's ailing financial system.
Tuesday nights at seven o'clock I co-host a radio show about domestic and foreign news on WJHU. The show generally runs for an hour, but last Tuesday night we cut it short by a half hour so as not to miss any of the action that Karl Rove's appearance on campus had promised. I was particularly excited to get off the air and, explaining why the show would be cut short, I mentioned that there were things I planned on sharing with Mr. Rove that were unsuitable for our listeners.
One of the most irritating reflexes to us as humans is the glaring light that awakens us after a hard night of studying, or causes our eyes to water after a doctor shines a penlight in them. It has become a well-known fact among the pre-medical community here at Hopkins (and even most of the general population that avidly watches Grey's Anatomy) that when a doctor shines a light in the eyes of an unconscious patient to assess reflexes, it gives some insight into brain activity, as it controls constriction of the pupil. Yet researchers at Hopkins have shed light — no pun intended — on whether the brain does, in fact, control this reflex.
A new study has confirmed that Ivacaftor, a bioavailable drug taken orally, is an effective treatment for patients with cystic fibrosis.
I am not here to tell you how you should feel about the Occupy movement, Karl Rove, free speech or the rights of protestors. Those are all important topics, which are subject to individual opinion and should not be preached about by a freshman. But the Karl Rove protests did reveal a campus-wide issue that does need to be addressed: the feelings of elitism among the Hopkins student body.
It was a little after 8 p.m. on the Homewood campus when Karl Rove, former deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to President George W. Bush, took to the stage of Shriver auditorium to deliver the final MSE presentation of the semester. While the few dozen protestors camping out on Decker Quad might have indicated that Rove was a controversial choice for MSE, how controversial a choice was yet to be fully understood. This soon became apparent when a protest broke out during Rove's speech. Due to the protestors, all in all, the night was an uncomfortable, visceral and ultimately revealing experience.
The Walters Art Museum and the Hopkins Hellenic Students Association co-hosted an evening at the museum in celebration of the renowned Archimedes Palimpsest Exhibition, Lost and Found: The Secrets of Archimedes, last Thursday. Attendance was limited to sixty prominent attendees — influential Baltimorians and powerful members from the Greek community from across the nation.
