'2 Days in Paris' depicts lovers as both caustic and cuddly
"2 Days in Paris," on the other hand, is an altogether different beast. It's the story of Jack (Adam Goldberg) and Marion (Julie Delpy), a pair of star-crossed lovers who have decided to end their romantic European vacation by spending two days in Marion's native Paris. Sounds really sweet, right? Except for the fact that the romantic European vacation was spoiled by Jack's chronic diarrhea. When he wasn't locked in the bathroom, Jack was prowling the streets of Venice obsessively photo-documenting everything in sight. As Marion notes, "Instead of kissing on the gondola, Jack took 48 pictures on the gondola."
Blackwater in Deep Water
On Sept. 16 private military contactors hired by the U.S. government opened fire on a crowd of innocent civilians in a congested Baghdad square. These men, working for a company called Blackwater USA, killed at least 17 people and wounded 24 more.
Parental Control
I recently saw a silly article in the New York Times about a New Jersey high school English teacher who has begun requiring parents to do homework. What a weird requirement, I thought, to hold parents accountable for a small portion of their child's grade by monitoring their participation through daily blog assignments. Maybe, though, this plan is one teacher's attempt to address high school parent involvement in a way that is both satisfying to parents and effective in persuading them that their child has responsibilities all his own.
Daily Debriefing
Five Hanover High School students lost their sports captaincies last month after allegedly stealing exams in June, according to the Valley News. Hanover High School Athletic Director Mike Jackson rescinded the captaincies after receiving a report from the Hanover Police detailing the roles the students allegedly played in the incident. Parents of the accused said that they agreed that students should be punished if they committed a crime, but that they believed the punishment has been applied unequally, as not all students involved with the incident lost their positions. Jackson defended his stance, stating that the students who retained their captaincies did not violate the law, but only committed "academic transgressions," for which there is no athletic penalty.

Sig Eps channel Ghostbusters for derby
Andrew Argeski '06, Craig Breslawski '08, Devin Fallon '08, Joe Hanley '08 and Trey Roy '09 aren't exactly Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Sigourney Weaver or Rick Moranis. But this Saturday in Providence, R.I., these five members of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity managed to summon the power of Ghostbusters in a soap box derby race sponsored by Red Bull.
Off-campus housing prices hold steady despite demand
For many students, senior year is a time to get away from dorm life and transition into something more closely resembling the real world by living in one's own house, dealing with utilities and having a kitchen and private bathrooms. But for those planning on living off campus next year who have not already secured a place to live, it may already be too late.

Toe to Toe: Hodes versus Schmidley (Hodes)
The Bowl Championship Series has drawn a lot of criticism over the years. It has undergone a major facelift with a fifth BCS game added. It has seen split champions and controversial title games. And it leaves Division I-A as the only division without a playoff system to decide its champion. Something must be amiss, right?
