Now playing IN HANOVER: The Rum Diary
If you are a Depp fan, then you will appreciate the "Pirates" saga's equation of combining rum, Depp in a fancy hat on an island and interaction with a crazy voodoo lady that is also featured in the "The Rum Diary." Yet the narrative meanders like a stumbling drunk, switching from pursuit of the sexy girl to revenge on the bad guy. It is Kemp's unlikely roommates, the actual stumbling drunk Moburg (Ribisi) and grubby photographer Sala, that make the film tolerable. Kate Sullivan
Internet Meme of the Week: Cute Roulette
Chat Roulette was an interesting idea in theory a website that allows users to video chat speed-dating-style with fellow internet surfers across the globe. The website, however, has become infamous for facilitating highly questionable interactions due to the large number of people who seemingly use the medium as a means to launch their adult film careers. Cute Roulette takes this idea in a much less disturbing direction a website through which users can cycle through videos of fuzzy animals engaging in various adorable activities. If the dancing dog is not cute enough for you, simply click the "next cuteness" button and shift to the video of a fennec fox scratching its giant ears or an otter playing the piano. Like most internet sensations, there is no real point to the site, but watching a puppy attempting to play with its own reflection in a mirror is a far better way to waste your time than watching shots of strangers' genitalia.
Three-piece composes score for ‘The General'
The range of emotional expression that Buster Keaton accomplishes with his constantly furrowed brows might be, on its own, somewhat limited in the slapstick comedy, "The General" (1926). However, the film was brought to new heights in Spaulding Auditorium on Sunday night by the Alloy Orchestra's meticulously scored live musical accompaniment. A three-man band covered the sounds of the Civil War, fire-engine trains and the wringing hands of a damsel in distress with skill and a creative quirkiness.

Lott: Good for the Soul
Sweaty students and middle-aged alumni flail their arms as they jump up and down on a slippery floor cluttered by empty cups and beer cans. A half-dozen naked fraternity members precariously conceal their genitals by staying behind a counter. Female students stand unconcerned a few feet away. Bodies move with manic energy but people's eyes contain no human warmth.
West: Dangerous Game
On April 15, I awoke still hazy from a full night of partying to discover that the U.S. Justice Department had shut down online poker. All players' online poker accounts were now frozen. Poker players dubbed it "Black Friday." Coincidentally, I was in Las Vegas being treated to a birthday weekend by five of my closest poker friends. The night before we had gone to the high-end club Pure and received the finest bottle service available, paid for by my friend James. Now James was suddenly unemployed.
Daily Debriefing
Hanover's first Obama for America rally of the 2012 campaign cycle drew over 20 local residents, including State Rep. Susan Almy, D-Grafton, former chair of the New Hampshire Ways and Means Committee, to the Rockefeller Center on Sunday afternoon. The two-hour event concluded the organization's first day of canvassing in the Upper Valley. Almy said she came to the meeting out of curiosity and a desire to contribute to President Barack Obama's re-election efforts. "I wanted to see how things were developing," she said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "I think that it's really important that people from local campaigns work with people at the national level so we can cooperate on unseating the Republicans, re-electing the president and making real changes." Several attendees expressed reservations regarding the focus, scope and effectiveness of the host organization, Obama for America. Carolyn Tenney, a Hanover resident, said Obama for America should focus on recruiting and involving more students. "They're going to determine the next election," Tenney said. The next Obama for America campus event will occur on Dec. 8, according to Sara Bean Duncan, Obama for America New Hampshire state field director.
Mulley '70 scrutinizes U.S. health care system
Students, alumni and community members piled into Dartmouth Hall on Saturday morning to attend a presentation on the complexity of the United States health care system delivered by Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science Director Al Mulley '70. Mulley emphasized the role ordinary citizens play in changing the health care system both through daily choices regarding their own health and the attention they pay to the health care decisions they make. A reformed health care system should prioritize individuals' "personal preference" in medical decision making, Mulley said.

At 12:04 p.m. on Sunday, Director of Safety and Security and College Proctor Harry Kinne sent a campus-wide email alerting the College community of an alleged incident of sexual assault that occurred early Sunday morning.

The 3-1 victory on the team's senior day elevated the Big Green to its first-place status, and co-captain Lucky Mkosana '12 broke the Dartmouth all-time record for both goals and points with his 34th career goal.

Politics, electronics, entertainment and sports all feature trends that encourage us to choose one object or person over another because of popular tendencies. If a company's product, such as Amazon's new Kindle Fire, is expected to do well, it will trend upwards since many customers will purchase it in December.
