...Rewind” an aesthetic success. Individual triumphs of innovation and elbow grease, the bootleg movies are the film’s highlights, sugarcoated with all of Gondry’s quirky techniques. Ghosts wield flashlights and wear saran-wrap, while large cheese pizzas stand in for blood and brain matter in makeshift gangster flicks. Classics like “King Kong,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and “Driving Miss Daisy” all get their own indie treatments, to the delight of those within and without the film...
Speaking of wasting resources, what the shit is happening with Brain Break? I realize that I am not a preschooler and that I don’t actually need a snack-time. But, much like taking a nap, that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy it. So if HUDS is going to spend money to give us something to eat when we are studying or have come home drunk on a random weeknight, at least they could think critically about what they are leaving out.

Lawrence King, an eighth grader who identified as gay and wore makeup and nail polish, was 15 when he was declared brain dead on Feb. 13.

But because of the continuing head pain, the Army decided to send him to Fort Knox, 150 miles (240 km) from his home in Indiana. It was a strange choice. Cassidy was apparently suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) compounded by posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which should have required treatment by neurologists. But there are none at Fort Knox's Ireland Army Community Hospital...
During his first month at Fort Knox, an MRI of Cassidy's brain revealed no "hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or midline shift" that would clearly indicate TBI. Nonetheless, his case manager made a note in his file that "headaches are gradually worsening." Cassidy tried a slew of prescription pain relievers without success. Because there was no physical evidence of an injury, a civilian neurologist working for the Army who examined Cassidy in late April concluded that the headaches were most likely "posttraumatic migraines." The doctor prescribed two more kinds of drugs. It was the soldier's lone visit...
