The spine of Ma's concert was three suites composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, but the remaining three pieces were 20th-century compositions that contrasted with the classical Bach suites. Before the concert, Ma introduced the program as "a meal for the imagination, like tapas but without the calories." He also incorporated elements of Dartmouth traditions to describe the pieces on his program. He renamed each of the Bach suites "Suite No. 1 in G Major," "Suite No. 2 in D minor" and "Suite No. 3 in C Major" as Homecoming, Winter Carnival and Green Key weekend, noting that each suite featured a different style and tone that matched each of these weekends.

"One of the hallmarks of [Obomsawin's] films is the way she represents the cause and the point of view of the disenfranchised and the oppressed," Richard Stamelman, executive director of the Montgomery Endowment, said in his opening remarks.

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.

Halloween may have begun early at Dartmouth, but Williamsburg, Brooklyn, has been celebrating all year. Between farmers' markets and the subway, hipsters or rather, the perpetual up-and-comers of Williamsburg have been sporting American Apparel, matador costumes and panda suits as though iParty was the region's largest employer. The Tumblr blog "Halloween or Wiliamsburg" offers a collection of pictures of both the holiday and the neighborhood and displays them with a running commentary of sarcasm and dry wit. One photograph features an absurdly-dressed man in bunny ears, a floral blazer and a striped button-down. With a gaping mouth, he appears pensive. The caption beneath reads: "As Jared left his job interview, he couldn't help but think: Maybe I should've worn a tie.'" These images are windows into these peoples' lives, and their ridiculousness is endearing. You can't help but wish them the very best as they go about living a very different kind of life of the mind.

Count on the internet to make light of one of the more significant events in the so-called "War on Terror" the death of Osama bin Laden. In an already-iconic photograph, President Barack Obama and the National Security Council receives updates on the operation to kill Bin Laden as they sit in the White House Situation Room. Pete Souza's photograph of the president and his advisors receiving word of Bin Laden's death captures the stress of the moment, written into the furrowed brows of the members of the NSC. But in one reimagining of the scene, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from the MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" is in the Situation Room to present his own "situation." In other Photoshopped reimaginings of the moment, Princess Beatrice's royal wedding hat is superimposed on everyone's face and in another the stressed profile of the president in place of his advisors' faces. In the case of Obama's copy-and-pasted image, his grim expression appears all the more tense when put in place of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's face as she raises her hand to her mouth in shock. However, the juxtaposition of Clinton's blond hair on either side of the president's creased forehead is a wink to the viewer that alleviates any tension that existed in the original photograph.
