...These are the most rejuvenating months that I’ve experienced in my career in a long time. 2. FM: Do you think that a lot has changed since you were in college? HAZ: Society at that point wasn’t so interconnected with wireless technology. A term paper was typed on a typewriter so it wasn’t just cut and paste. And also, people went to libraries for reference, rather than to just study. You’d spend hours sitting in the stacks.3. FM: Have you had a chance...
...Would you define your music as “electronic” or do you think it shares qualities with other genres as well?EM: Yeah, it definitely shares qualities with other genres. I think “electronic” as a genre is kind of a loose term anyway. I think initially they called it that because you used computers to make music, but now all music is made on computers, so its hard to define something as electronic anymore.

...even call it J-term anymore? When the College administration announced its revolutionary calendar reform last year, it included in its statement vague plans for a three-week term to begin in January.

The unions should consider their own immediate and long-term interests, as well as those of their paper, and be willing to accept substantial cuts. Print journalism faces a wide range of challenges in today’s changing media environment...
...gravity of those "mistakes" eventually began to drag Fujimori down. In 2000 he ran for a third term, but by then news of atrocities such as those committed by the Colina Group had begun to surface, and his victory was marred by allegations of electoral fraud. Four months into his third term, Fujimori fled into exile in Japan, after a $1 billion corruption and embezzlement scandal involving Montesinos and other close advisers had unraveled his government. He returned to South America in 2005, hoping, incredibly, to take part in Peru's 2006 presidential race, but he was arrested in Chile...
