I do not exaggerate when I say that everyone needs to see Steubenville. Even though the School of Drama’s debut production of this play — conceived, directed, and written by drama masters students — closed this weekend, I have high hopes that Steubenville won’t end here. Not only is it a good show, but, more than that, it’s an important one.

Student government election results were released last Tuesday. Junior policy and management and Chinese studies double major JR Marshall and junior information systems major Jibby Ayo-Ani were ratified on Wednesday as the incoming student body president (SBP) and student body vice president (SBVP), respectively.

As soon as the official theme song for this year’s WWE “Night of Champions” kicked off, I knew I was in for a wild ride. The show’s champions and challengers were introduced in a rapid-fire montage as a chorus of—you guessed it—CFO$’s “Night of Gold” blared in the background. On top of that were voice-overs, proclaiming that what I was about to watch was a “night of opportunity,” “promise,” and “change.”.

It’s no secret that geek culture has long been a refuge for outsiders and an engine for social progress. From Kirk and Uhura’s interracial smooch to Buffy’s feminist butt-kicking, geek culture has had the power to change minds and champion diversity. So, in honor of Pride Month 2014, we bring you the definitive list of LGBT geeks both in and outside of reality.

Journalism is born on caring. Sure, narcissism and attention-seeking play their role, from the sensationalist headlines that regularly hit newsstands to our current epidemic of bait-and-click pseudo-news sources.

Fans of the award-winning CBS geek sitcom, rejoice: The Big Bang Theory is back in business. After weeks of tense pay negotiations, the entire main cast has officially signed three-year contracts with Warner Bros. TV, all with hefty pay raises. America’s favorite ragtag team of scientists began production on their eighth season yesterday.

The contemporary American publishing world often considers young adult (YA) literature the surest bet in the business, as evidenced by the proliferation of wildly successful YA literature phenomenon such as The Hunger Games series and The Fault in Our Stars. However, at the turn of the 19th century, the YA literature market did not exist; American society was only beginning to understand adolescence conceptually. While the dawning psychological and social consensus on the existence and distinguishing features of adolescence was instrumental to the advent of literature for adolescents, the evolution of the market for YA literature also relied upon a number of other influencing forces in the first two decades following the Second World War. Adolescents had long demonstrated literary preferences, but the books these late 19th and early 20th century young adults were reading would not be categorized today as YA. The publishing industry did not directly capitalize on a young adult genre until the 1960s, when the post-war Baby Boomer generation proved itself to be a powerful and largely untapped market force. The success of the contemporary YA literature market was contingent on the uniqueness of the Baby Boomers. The sheer numbers of the affluent and independent Boomer generation maximized YA market potential; youth culture pushed YA toward more realistic content; and, validation of YA by critics and educators ensured its staying power as a genre.

The Management Company of Kings Highway provides patients with modern medicine’s best kept secret to promote and accelerate natural healing processes: hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). We currently operate our main office in Queens, but plan to soon establish a second location in Brooklyn. HBOT uses a pressurized cylinder, or hyberbaric chamber, to immerse patients in pure oxygen at high-pressure. This environment, which would be impossible to replicate under ordinary conditions, enables lungs to take in oxygen at many times their usual rate. “Super” oxygenated blood is then carried to tissues throughout the body, promoting healing processes in a way that is completely natural, noninvasive, and free of any known side effects.

So we’ve come to the conclusion that everyone – especially you – should be watching the BBC drama In the Flesh. Here are five reasons why. We know what you’re going to say. You’ll groan, sounding remarkably like the brain-munching, dead-walking creature in question. “Zombies again?”. From The Walking Dead to World War Z to Warm Bodies, the zombie bandwagon has been pretty packed in recent years.

Across the country, across the world even, there are people who do currently have tickets to this pinnacle celebration of geekdom. Right now, these people are no doubt perfecting their portfolios, putting the final tweaks on their cosplays, and packing their bags for sunny San Diego. We salute them, those lucky bastards, and we definitely don’t wish we could pry their 4-day passes from their gloves, tentacles, or other hand-like appendages.

Mainstream media seems to have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a “good role model” and who fits the bill. Case in point: The Internet went into uproar last week when rap superstar Nicki Minaj tweeted indignantly about Fiorello H.

If last Monday’s series finale of How I Met Your Mother proved anything, it was that the show should have ended a long time ago. Had the beloved CBS sitcom been canceled after one, two, or even three seasons, perhaps then the ending would have made some semblance of sense. But HIMYM was no typical three-season flop.
