Huh? Well, this Swedish blog once called our music “coincidence pop”, and explained that it sounds somewhat intricate and well-crafted, but that way only by coincidence. Continue…

This Friday at 9pm John Sexton will appear on the PBS show Truthout to discuss–of course–theology and baseball. From the show’s site:
Bill Moyers sits down with NYU President and modern renaissance man John Sexton for a wide-ranging conversation about God, baseball and the importance of thoughtful discourse in society. Previously a champion debate coach and scholar of religion and law, Sexton discusses his unique take on theology, contemporary politics, and the evolving role of universities throughout the world. Born to a struggling Catholic family in Brooklyn, John Sexton still teaches undergraduates in addition to his work as president of one of the world’s largest and most prestigious universities.
The show will air on PBS on Friday, March 12th at 9pm EST. In NYC, PBS is channel 13.

I don’t know what’s going on”. Massa, who by the way represents my home district WAY upstate (Yes, I’m especially proud of home now), originally planned not to run for re-election in November. But in the wake of allegations that he sexually harassed a male staffer, Massa resigned on Monday.

If you’ve ever attempted to ride a bike in NYC, you’ve probably almost been killed. NYC has a fair amount of bike lanes, but they’re not always properly delineated, and they’re rarely respected by aggressive cab drivers and confused tourists. If you’re a nervous nelly like me who wears a helmet when you ride despite its increased nerd quotient, then you’ll be happy to know that Google has added bike directions to Google Maps. Just plug in your starting and ending location, and the site figures out the safest bike route between the two. Above is a picture of how to get from the East Village to campus with a lesser chance of being doored and/or run over by a city bus. Yay!

This is a dish that I cannot stop eating. While the recipe says it feeds six, these noodles are so addicting that you will only want to keep them for yourself. In the throes of midterms, this is the ideal meal to slurp morning, noon, and night. While they do call for some kind of specific ingredients, you can find them for cheap at any Asian market, (M2M next to Third North is a convenient spot) and you will keep using hot chili oil on everything once you actually have it in your cupboard.
Spicy Peanut Sesame Noodles
adapted from The Silver Palette
8 oz linguine
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
6 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon hot chili oil
3 scallions, white bulb and 3 inches of green, chopped
1 small cucumber, halved, seeded, and diced
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
Liz Cheney released an ad describing Justice Department lawyers who defended detainees as “The al-Qaeda 7,” and has since received criticism for it left and right on the political spectrum. The New York Times ran a story today about how Liz Cheney’s “Attacks on Detainee Lawyers Split Conservatives.” Greg Sargent over at the Plum Line thinks all the negative press plays right into Cheney’s hands by maximizing her publicity.

A big fucking question mark. That’s the only thing that last night’s episode of Lost left me with. Going against the most recent episodes’ trend of giving us loads of answers to our questions, “Dr. Linus” instead threw me for a loop. It wasn’t particularly exciting but a major perk was that we got some really emotional moments from Michael Emerson. Spoilers after the jump.
In an attempt to scale back the budget, NYU has decided to revoke full tuition remission from its staff. Any staff member that makes over $50,000 a year will now have to pay 10% of the cost of a graduate degree or tuition for any dependent children. “The figure was chosen carefully because NYU’s biggest expense is personnel,” reports WSN. Those affected are none too happy, most specifically with the way NYU handled the change. The university was reportedly not very forthcoming, and buried the news within a couple of those long, rambling e-mails. Not surprising, considering how far down in those Sexton e-mails we always have to read to get to the part where they hike up tuition again. Let’s just say NYU does seem to enjoy burying the lede.

| Gov. Mike Huckabee | ||||
| ||||
According to a press release issued by the NYU College Republicans, former Arkansas Governor and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will be speaking at their meeting tomorrow. Huckabee currently hosts a Fox News show aptly titled Huckabee, and is known for being somewhat of a loose cannon, though apparently he chalks this up to “his love for metaphor and hyperbole” (HA). The meeting will be held from 6-7pm, in Kimmel room 914. Read more over at the Facebook invite.

That’s the tentative title at least. Mallory Blair says it changes practically everyday. She’s one of those Gallatinos who studies a little bit of everything–sociology, urban studies, art history, cultural theory, economics, etc. She’s probably even studying you—if you’re creative, that is. Mallory aims to understand the intermediary between creativity and commodity, where all of that happens, and what makes people tick. She’s met some pretty sweet celebrities, and you might just figure out if you’re in with this so-called creative class if you read her interview below. Also, Chatroulette may not be so bad.
Annie Werner: What got you interested in this?
Mallory Blair: I came to Gallatin interested in human behavior and marketing, but the classes I took, because of the nature of Gallatin, were very centered around the arts. So the arts really became a lens through which I looked at marketing and psychology.
AW: So what do you do with that?
MB: I’d like to teach eventually, but right now I work for Paper Magazine and do market research at a brand consultancy firm called WHY-Q? We look into how to make a brand thrive by connecting them with their consumers.
AW: Can you give an example?
MB: This past year WHY-Q? partnered up Adidas with “New York Minute”—an art exhibit in Rome that featured 60 New York artists, curated by the Dietch galleries. By sponsoring these artists, Adidas enhanced their brands alignment with the creative community, bolstering their brand ethos and therefore, down the road, their profits.
