...other analysts and commentators suspect Syria is to blame, arguing that Eid's murder fits the pattern of past professionally conducted car bomb assassinations in which Syrian involvement was strongly suspected. Writing in the anti-Syrian Al-Mustaqbal newspaper last week, columnist Fadi Shamieh said that recent attacks in Lebanon suggest a convergence of interests between Syria and some Sunni jihadists operating in Lebanon. "Even if there are no ideological links between these two sides, both are diligently working to create trouble as soon as possible which would serve the interest of the extremists ...

It's almost as if people anticipate their holiday depression and start shopping early for their drug...
...Students are required to be on campus during reading period, and to ask for less responsibility from Faculty—which cannot even afford to spare an hour—seems hypocritical. While professors may have come to expect that January meetings will be skipped, we believe that this pattern of irresponsibility should be stopped. If the faculty wants to take its role in determining University policy seriously, then it should go ahead with its scheduled meetings, even if some faculty would rather be on vacation...
