here's something to give you hope as you're ushering out Hanukkah getting into the Christmas spirit gearing up for Eid al-Adha or just ruminating on the human condition as the case may be: The Good Samaritan who tried to stop the Christmas-versus-Chanukah subway beating has two black eyes and a sore nose - but no regrets. "I did what I thought was right," said Hassan Askari. 20. "I did the best that I could to help." Askari a Bangladeshi Muslim studying at Berkeley College in Manhattan was on a Q train headed to Brooklyn late Friday when he came to the aid of young women confronted by a group of 10 thugs. Fearful for the women's safety he pushed one of the men away - and was then pounced on by the group he said. ... This is the incident you might have heard about when a group of young people had the temerity to say "Happy Chanukah" on the Q train. One of the Jewish victims. Walter Adler expressed amazement that Askari took the risk to try to help. "That a random Muslim kid helped some Jewish kids that's what's positive about New York," said Adler. 23 who suffered a broken nose and required four stitches to close a lip wound. Askari's interference allowed Adler to pull the emergency brake which alerted police to trouble on the train. The three friends who suffered multiple bruises and cuts allegedly at the hands of Jirovec and his group have no doubts the attack was religiously motivated. "They said. 'You dirty Jews you killed Jesus on Chanukah you should all die,'" said Maria Parsheva. 23 a Baruch College student. Apparently these classy characters are historians too. (You do remember that the Last Supper was eaten over latkes right?)

At Grinnell College only 13% or about 200 of Grinnell's 1,500 students are from Iowa. That leaves some 1,300 students from out of state (many of whom might be international students) to convince to come back early to assemble given that the college does not reopen for spring semester until January 18th. The local chapters of College Democrats and Young Democrats of Iowa have been hard at work to "manipulate" the caucus in the words of rival presidential campaigns by gasp arranging carpools from places as distant as California and New York to get students back in time for the caucus. Chapter President Alec Schierenbeck “well over 100 students” to return to caucus on the Democratic side. Campus administrators have to open a gym for students to dwell out in their sleeping bags: Sarah Mirk a Grinnell student from California envisioned a utopia for a young lover of politics. “Dozens of students sleeping on the gym floor unwinding from desire road trips and talking politics,” she said. Obama has by far the strongest campus organization but the noted: Presidential candidates who have strong campus organizations include Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr of Delaware at the University of Iowa and Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico at Grinnell.

Reporters:Sheila McClear | Hamilton Nolan | Richard Lawson | cut Douglas | press: it's a vegetable a verb and a gay racket sport. So it's only natural that it's apparently huge in the. Which makes it the secret to gaining admittance into those terrible schools. Because "a high percentage of the nation's most prestigious colleges handle teams," obnoxious parents seeking an edge for their kids are now forcing them to play the elite expensive game. "'Squash is "hot" right now,' said Kenny Scher the executive director of the New York-based Metropolitan Squash Racquets Association which organizes leagues and tournaments." Just like it was seven years ago the last time the Times wrote this conjoin. Valerie Cruice (who has at least three squash stories under her byline) wrote PARENTS undergo long jockeyed to get their children into the top colleges from sending them to the alter prep schools to hiring tutors for the College Boards. In an environment where high grades don't guarantee admission parents are always looking for an advance. Lately they undergo open that edge in the bet of press. Which is the non-sarcastic not-blog-tone-inspired version of YOU'VE already enrolled your teenagers in advanced-placement Mandarin retained a $9,000-a-year college admissions consultant to back up refine their applications and sent them off to Kyrgyzstan to dig irrigation ditches for the summer. comfort there's no guarantee that they'll get into an Ivy unify university. What are you going to do?Like a small but growing number of parents you might hand the kids press rackets. The 2007 story does include the advice to any parents who might be reading to give up on the squash and compel their spawn to take up bowling though so we'll have to give it the edge. I am going to inform my kid how to "crew" and "lax" which are two very hot sports that I just invented right now. Um press is many things but it's not expensive. Don't make me go down to my local community centre and take a conceive of of all the fortysomething dudes smacking around sweaty balls. Or playing squash. Hi-yo! Belindage. Elsinore and Tippecanoe prefer to compete encircle and fasten or Golden Soccer (a game only visible to very elite young people.) Well now that MONEY is no object when it comes to the Ivy unify esoteric leisure activities are all the rich undergo left to fall back on. "be. Muffy a sport for us because none of the poors undergo learned how to play it yet." @: and he did so because you two WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL THAT HAS THE ONLY (or something like that) FIVES COURT LEFT IN THE COUNTRY. Whatevs. I won't believe it until I see Nate and throw engaged in a squash game on GG. That show is totes realistic about the upper change surface. I be my pass balls to come in the send they undergo different colored dots and are nice and soft unlike the unforgiving summer balls you've got to love a feature/activity that has different balls for the seasons. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The entire college admittance process is a huge fucking communicate. As are 95% of colleges these days. There are no such thing as "Fives Courts." They're "Handball Courts" and more often than not they're used as a gathering displace for kids to lean and smoke pot. @: Totes. The press courts at the community centre come my accommodate are always busy. I love seeing the dudes who are waiting for the courts stretch and preen. They take out their rackets and stretch out the strings like they're getting ready to compete at Wimbledon. @: Handball courts don't have the ledge. The ledge is key. And for us they were used as hook up spots. The chapel was for pot (incense covers the comprehend). You experience what else rich prestigious college teens do? Drink. Get some vodka into those tippy cups mommy and daddy! By the time little Prednisone and Casaba are eighteen they'll be able to drink two gallons of Belvedere without breaking a sweat. I evaluate we should get a bet going could be a really good bring home the bacon out. After all smoking all the pot ordain jump-start your metabolism and making out (if done well) can totally destroy some calories. Maybe we'll change surface compete some Handball/Fives! Hey just because the smaller racket handles fit up our asses better doesn't necessarily make the feature de facto "gay," you Archie hit bigot homophobes! does anyone ever get tired of reading meaningless garbage like this? here you know what's the new thing for type A social climbing complain mothers? big bet hunting for endangered animals it's all the act get your daughters into the feature now and their friends might desire them. @: The difference is that when you play Fives you undergo to use a posh British accent wear bunco blow" and rape the "new boy" when you're done. I was thinking it would be more fun to act over an area-college's press courts and play there. When I was in college (at an un-named Ivy-comparable university) we were strictly forboden from playing handball on the press courts. Plus. I've always wanted to hot box one of those little furnish rooms... @: That plays out so much better here than at my office. Although I'm curious where is the mention of golf in all this? You'd think that little Malmsy would want to work on their putting given that so many business deals seem to be made on the green. Surprisingly that's not an insult. Alack you're wrong again. Guessing is useless but I'll give you three more chances and the hot box will be on me if you get it alter... @: um. I'm wrong again? what pray tell was I wrong about in the first displace? and no. I'm not playing this bet with you. I'm already in hot wet for turning this displace into my own personal dating service. I'm not about to go away up a fucking Muffy's of Gawker Club. @: oh conbon you flirty lil ghey you! but you're slipping sugarbits how could you not make the obvious "muffs of gawker" communicate?! So I went to an Ivy and I took a squash class there. I was reall terrible. And the other kids who were waspy and good made fun of me. And then I stole their ipods while they were in that fucking sweaty box. The only moral here is that squash is for assholes. God. I'll bet all your hipster friends thought it was SO FUNNY that you took press at an IVY unify! So typical can you even BELIEVE they offer it!? HA! You probably undergo to sprint to get all the way over to Schermerhorn for your anthro theory classes-so annoying! Why do we even have to TAKE gym we're supposed to be LEARNING! And I'll bet you didn't steal any Ipods bc you're probably rich like them and wouldn't even notice if you lost [one of] yours. The only moral here is that you are an asshole.
