The circus is in town, and along with a big blue tent, acrobats and an extensive menagerie are questions of animal cruelty and neglect.
As recently as last year, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has accused the Atlanta-based UniverSoul Circus, which has pitched its tent at Columbus Lot for the week, of leasing animals from exhibitors who have failed to meet minimum federal standards in veterinary care, medical records, adequate space and failure to properly maintain transport vehicles.

Rock music is supposed to be about passion. It's built on the premise of "sticking it to the man." And unlike the hits played on Top 40 radio, it's about the creation of raw intensity and brutal honesty - not about the creation of revenue.
The recent influx of competition-meets-reality shows that aim to "create" rock stars - rock reality, if you will - is killing the spirit of rock 'n' roll.

I agree with the Daily editorial board that EPIIC's most controversial panel, featuring Dow Chemical's CEO and Tufts Trustee Andrew Liveris, was a good learning experience. However, constructive dialogue depends on honesty by all participants, and CEOs of the most ethical corporations cannot be fully honest, at some level, in order to protect shareholder value.

Sen. Barack Obama seems like a pleasant guy. It'd probably be fun to shoot some hoops with him.
But I'd have to call a foul for some of Obama's blunders in foreign policy development. He postures as the peace player in this upcoming presidential election but his actions are in many ways hypocritical.

The survey took place between September 2005 and February of this year, and found that 15 percent of 11th graders, 9 percent of ninth graders, and 4 percent of seventh graders use prescriptions recreationally, according to the Washington Post.
