Dartmouth Student Newspaper Calls For End Of College's Greek System
The entire front page of Dartmouth College's student newspaper Friday is an editorial devoted to the future of the campus' Greek system, a heated and controversial topic. The Dartmouth's message is clear — "Abolish the Greek System," the headline reads — and is likely unpopular at a school where more than half of all students are members of a fraternity or sorority. While the newspaper acknowledges that "Greek life is not the root of all the College's problems or of broader societal ills ... as a system, it amplifies students' worst behavior." As The Dartmouth argues, "It facilitates binge drinking and sexual assault. It perpetuates unequal, gendered power dynamics and institutionalizes arbitrary exclusivity. It divides students — the system as a whole separates freshmen from upperclassmen, men from women. Membership draws lines among friends." Dartmouth's Greek system has often come under attack over the past few years, as the editorial details, most recently with the publication of former Dartmouth Sigma Alpha Epsilon member Andrew Lohse's memoir of his time in the fraternity.

Chicago A Capella Group Performs 'Global Transcendence' Concert With Repertoire For World Religions
With religious tensions high around the world, one Chicago-based a capella group is aiming to make a difference with the one tool it has: music. Chicago A Capella kicked off its "Global Transcendence" program with concerts on October 11-12, and two more are scheduled for this weekend. The program showcases "the musical intersections of the world’s faiths" with selections from Jewish, Hindu, Baha'i, Christian and other traditions. The interfaith theme of the concert is deeply rooted in founder and artistic director Jonathan Miller's own background. In the program notes for the show, Miller wrote: My parents met while studying Hinduism and meditation in Boston. Swami Akhilananda, my parents’ teacher and one of the pioneering bridge-builders between Eastern and Western religion and psychology, had posted on the wall of the Boston Vedanta Society a saying from the Rig Veda, a sacred Sanskrit text, which began: “Truth is One; Sages call It by various names.” My parents taught me this idea in my earliest years, and it remains a birthright of sorts for me. On top of this background, Miller serves as cantor during High Holy Days services at a Conservative Jewish synagogue in Chicago and has sung in Catholic and Protestant services for decades, the group's executive director Matthew Greenberg told HuffPost. Combine Miller's passion for spiritual traditions with current events, and the show's timing could not be better, Greenberg said. "It seems that never before has our world been more aware of sectarian and inter-religious conflict," he said. "It so fills the airwaves and information flow that we begin to think there is nothing that connects us, only that which divides." This concert, Greenberg said, aims to dispute that. Listen to a sampling of Chicago A Capella's "Global Transcendence" program below: "Dastam Begir," a Baha’i song with soloist Emily Price: Begins with Eshu O, a traditional Ghanaian chant, and segues into “Alleluiarion of Pentekoste," a traditional Greek Orthodox chant: “O Lux Beatissima” by Howard Helvey, featuring ancient Christian text:

The Guardian view on Europes economic troubles
Tumbling markets, anxieties over the viability of banks and differences over austerity show that the crisis in the eurozone is still very much with usSince the banking crash, Europe has been engaged in a long drawn out process of trying to shove a problem under the carpet, pat down the lumps and hope no one notices. This is the settlement that is being tested this autumn. What we are seeing at the moment are the first tremors, notably spiralling borrowing costs for Athens. But the worry is that these tremors will get stronger and combine in a toxic way with other problems. The outlook for the US and the UK is now cloudier than it has been at any time in the past three years, yet the US central bank is said to be about to end its quantitative easing regime of flooding banks with cheap money. That may be postponed, but an end must come sooner or later. Chinas economy is slowing down, Japans is immobile. The Bank of Englands chief economist, Andy Haldane, said this week: Put in plain English, I am gloomier... This implies interest rates could remain lower for longer, certainly than I had expected three months ago, without endangering the inflation target.It is worth recalling that the roots of this crisis lie in a German squeeze on wages, intended to maintain German competitiveness in the global economy, which led to southern Europe becoming uncompetitive in comparison. The difference was largely made up by banks in France and Germany and northern Europe then lending to the south so that the Spanish and the Greeks could keep buying their BMWs and Mieles. When southern European governments could no longer borrow from world markets, the big banks of northern Europe stood to go bust. Continue reading...

How To Watch That 'Once-In-A-Lifetime' Comet Swing By Mars
A comet will be swinging by Mars this Sunday, and eager astronomers say they're ready for the "once-in a lifetime event." Comet C/2013 A1, or 'Siding Spring' will make its closest approach to Mars at 2:27 p.m. EDT, coming within 87,000 miles of the red planet's surface . That's 16 times closer than any comet has ever come near Earth and less than half the distance from Earth to the moon. “This is a cosmic science gift that could potentially keep on giving, and the agency’s diverse science missions will be in full receive mode,” John Grunsfeld, astronaut and associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington, D.C., said in a written statement. “This particular comet has never before entered the inner solar system, so it will provide a fresh source of clues to our solar system's earliest days.” NASA will be tracking the spectacular flyby with a massive fleet of spacecraft and Earth-based telescopes. How can you get in on the fun? With the help of binoculars and telescopes, skywatchers in the U.S. may be able to spot Mars and the comet by looking west and low to the horizon after sunset. The SLOOH Community Observatory will also be broadcasting a live feed of the flyby starting at 2:15 p.m. EDT. Just check it out above. “Our focus is science, not mythology,” Slooh astronomer Bob Berman said in a written statement. "But it is hard to ignore the world’s historical legends when a comet -- traditionally perceived as a sinister omen -- skims past the planet named for war, whose two moons are the Greek words for ‘fear’ and ‘death.’” Happy comet spotting!

“The Local Pub” in Athens, Greece, was ranked among the world’s best by Thrillist website. Expert Zack Mack traveled across the globe to discover the top pubs and presented each establishment’s best beer. “Those Greeks are at it again! First they invent democracy and then they open up a quaint, cozy pub with a world-class beer selection. Their 20 draft lines and 100 available bottles showcase the comfort classics like AleSmith IPA and Sierra Nevada Narwhal, while still showing love to domestic breweries like Septem,” says the article. The pub’s must-taste is Septem Citra Single Hop IPA. The top ten includes Akkurat in Stockholm, Bakusyu Club Popeye in Tokyo, Beerhouse in Cape Town, The Brew Dock in Dublin, Brothers Beer in Oakland, Café Abseits in Bamberg, Dieu du Ciel in Montreal, Empório Alto dos Pinheiros in Sao Paolo, Euston Tap in London and The Globe in Hong Kong.

Greek E-commerce Increased by 25% in 2013
The e-commerce proceeds in Greece increased by 25% last year compared to 2012, reaching 3.2 billion euros, according to a report on online trade in southern Europe published on Thursday by E-commerce Europe. It is estimated that this rise is due to the proliferation of online offers and discounts in the crisis period. This rapid increase in internet purchases has turned the e-commerce sector in one of the fastest-growing in Greek economy, with its contribution to Greece’s gross domestic product reaching 1.76%. The report notes that online purchases could help the Greek economy grow in the coming years. Half of internet purchases in Greece are related to services and the other half to products. In 2013, the turnover of retail trade increased by 2.9%. It is not accidental that apart from businesses operating exclusively on internet sales, more and more traditional businesses create electronic shops. The increase in the turnover of e-commerce has exceeded both the average in southern Europe (18.9%) and the average across the European Union (14.7%). The report ranks Greeks first in southern Europe, in terms of money spent in internet purchases. The E-commerce Europe report included Spain, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Portugal, Croatia, Cyprus and Malta.

Unknown UN Documentary on Post-War Greece Comes to Light
A documentary about Greece in the aftermath of the Civil War and World War II that was found in the United Nations archives in 2007 will be shown on October 30, at 8:00 pm at the National Archives headquarters in Psychiko, Athens. The screening will be part of celebrating the International Day of Cultural Heritage. According to Greek newspaper “Ta Nea,” a United Nations film crew came to Athens in 1955 to record the country’s reconstruction after the war and the effect of the Marshall Plan in Greek society. The 18-minute-long documentary is entitled “Kryfto” (Greek for hide and seek) and follows a man who is looking for a job in Athens. He is a family man and either a refugee from Asia Minor or someone who came from the province to seek a better life for his family. He is looking for a job in the Varvakios market and continues his walk in Plaka, Monastiraki, Thisio, Petralona and Keramikos. The documentary shows the grim reality of the poor Athens neighborhoods and the struggles of everyday people to put food on the table, the rebuilding of Athens and the foreign humanitarian aid given to children and the elderly. “Kryfto” is part of a trilogy on refugees. The two documentaries that complete the trilogy are “Island Exile” and “Trois des nos Enfants” (Three of Our Children). The documentaries were found in 2007 when a group of National Audiovisual Archives members visited the United Nations archives in New York in order to find audiovisual material that pertains to Greece.

This Is What It Looks Like When 'No Brainer' Trades Go Spectacularly Wrong
With Islamic State militants gaining ground in Iraq, Russia going head-to-head with the West over an uprising in Ukraine and chaos in Libya earlier this year it looked inevitable that a number of key oil producers were set for a squeeze. This presented one clear and compelling conclusion — oil prices were set to rise. The only problem was that it proved completely wrong. And so the money flowed — and flowed — into the trade. In fact bet by traders in the oil market that prices would rise reached their highest level in over a decade: Well it didn't turn out too well. Rather than climbing the oil price has collapsed from around $115 a barrel in June to $87 a barrel as at Friday. Traders have flooding out their positions with "liquidation in net speculative length...such that Brent is outright short with WTI net spec positions far off their highs" according to a note from Goldman Sachs. The reason for the collapse? Almost every story traders were telling themselves about why oil prices just had to rise turned out to be wrong. The Libya story Crude oil supply disruptions in Libya became a big problem again in 2013 with the US Energy Information Administration reporting that "from the end of July to the end of August, crude oil supply outages in Libya more than doubled" as the country fell back into civil war. This helped push prices higher and increase concerns about the prospect for further supply disruption. Little in the developments of 2014 seemed to count against those fears. In August Islamist rebels captured the airport in the capital Tripoli and last month the Libyan parliament was forced to flee to the small town of Tobruk where they took refuge on a Greek car ferry. Nevertheless, despite the huge disruption to the political and social life of the country the oil continued to flow against expectations. The Russia story Following protests in Kiev that saw the Ukrainian president flee the country and his government collapse, a secession movement in the east of the country has been fighting with the new Ukrainian state. These rebels have the political support of Russia, and many believe that Moscow has also been supplying them with on-the-ground support including military hardware and personnel. In response, the US and the European Union have imposed sanctions on Russia targeting the country's banks, oil and gas industries and imposing travel bans on a number of Russian citizens. Again, it seemed clear that Russia would either impose limits on oil exports itself as a tit-for-tat measure or would struggle to maintain the same level of trade with the West while the crisis continued. And yet, as Reuters reports: Output of oil and gas condensate in the world's largest producer rose 0.9 percent to 10.61 million barrels per day (bpd) last month [in September] from August, a touch under the post-Soviet record-high of 10.63 million bpd reached in December, Energy Ministry data showed. The Iraq story Islamic State militants operating across the porous border between Syria and Iraq have seized control of large swathes of land in Iraq. The group's early success against Iraqi government forces caused many to worry that the country's oil producing infrastructure could ultimately be taken or damaged if fighting continued. However, Iraq was also able to shrug off international fears adding 134,500 barrels a day to take its total production to 3.164 million barrels a day in September. Output rebounded due to higher exports from the south of the country and increased output from fields in Kurdistan, according to Reuters. Small wonder then that traders are panicking. Once again we have seen the difficulty markets face when trying to price in geopolitical risk. Unfortunately this works both ways — widespread overconfidence about price rises can quickly become overconfidence in the likelihood of further price falls. As Goldman said in its note: If the market does go much lower, we could see the mirror image of what occurred in the 2000s in that lower deferred prices kill off supply growth and stimulate demand.

Pig’s head, hate slogans at Athens Muslim center
AP – Greek police say unknkown attackers have placed a severed pig’s head and painted anti-Muslim slogans outside an Islamic studies center in Athens. Nobody has been arrested over the pre-dawn attack Friday, at a building that also functions as a Muslim prayer center. The attackers sprayed an obscene slogan against Islam on the sidewalk outside the building, daubed a Christian cross on the door and threw paint at the walls. The attack was discovered by worshippers going to Friday prayers. Bigotry targeting Jews and Muslims has increased in Greece in recent years, which also saw the meteoric rise of a Nazi-inspired far-right party. Golden Dawn entered Parliament in 2012, but all its lawmakers now face trial for running a criminal organization that used violence to spread and impose its beliefs. © 2014 The Associated Press.
