When British artist Banksy’s self-declared New York residency first began creating a buzz, I was excited. To me, it presented a comforting realization that masses could still care about art not just in a I’m-going-take-my-biannual-trip-to-the-Met–to-refresh-my-understanding-and-appreciation-for-good-art kind of way (don’t get me wrong, I love the Met), but in a not-all-important-art-is-in-museums-and-I-am-willing-to-travel-all-around-the-city-to-follow-an-obscure-artist-to-see-what-his-work-is-about kind of way. But as the talk around Banksy […]
Science and Prostitution
Should you be alarmed by the title, allow me to reassure you—this article has little to do with the subject of prostitution and is much more focused on science itself. That being said, I have recently come to the realization that under the scientific and technical norms our society now runs, science is essentially a prostitute. […]
Hey, You! Take Care of Yourself
You’re in the middle of a particularly difficult semester in which a microbiology lab report, a ten page paper for your Shakespeare class, and an organic chemistry exam all fall during the same week. Sound familiar? You spend the week in front of your laptop in your school library, torn between the temptations of social […]
NBA 2013-2014 Southwest Division Preview
Last season, the San Antonio Spurs were one Ray Allen step-back three pointer from another NBA Championship, but alas, we know how that ended. There is much speculation about the future of the big three—Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobli—and whether they have the legs for another championship run. As per usual, the Western […]

NBA 2013-2014 Northwest Division Preview
The Northwest division is likely to see the most change from last season. Every other division got better, while the teams in this division either stayed the same or shed themselves of multiple key components, as the Utah Jazz did with Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. Despite the falloff, this division is still likely to […]
NBA 2013-2014 Southeast Division Preview
Other than the Miami Heat, this division is weak overall. The Atlanta Hawks lost talent. The Orlando Magic are very young and inexperienced —they will not be a strong team this year. In the future? Yes, possibly. But not now. The Washington Wizards have a lot to prove this year. This is John Wall’s year […]
NBA 2013-2014 Atlantic Division Preview
The 2013-2014 NBA season is riddled with headlines. From the Miami Heat’s pursuit of their third consecutive NBA title to the return of Derrick Rose to the battle between the Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, and more, the season promises to be one filled with a mix of old and new stars. Here is a preview of […]
NBA 2013-2014 Central Division Preview
The Central Division should be a great one to watch this year. This is basically a two-team race for the division crown. The first team is the revitalized Chicago Bulls, who have Derrick Rose back this year. The second is last year’s division champion, the Indiana Pacers, who came within one game of the NBA […]
