Five things that I’m going to do in 2012:
3) Eat more fruit
4) Get more A’s
5) Go abroad
I said, no way- nice photoshop though.
But then I saw this:
And now I wonder if it could be true…
Colors sync Google Calendar and delegate calendars with iCal meaning that the color-coding is consistent on the web, on the desktop, on my Android tablet and smartphone. It also would have worked on my former phone, the late Cyrus’ iPhone 3GS who passed early last week.
happy studying!
I printed and sent mine to Bricker Hall via campus mail. This is our campus, this is our community, we have the obligation to voice our concerns.

Dear President Gee,
My name is Cyrus Sethna and I am a third-year student studying Political Science and Spanish at this university. I write to you today to express my concern with the recent upsurge of crime in the campus area and current allocation of police resources, both of the university’s department and the the City of Columbus’ own force.
As you know, there have been four assaults and robberies since October 30, the most recent on the evening of November 15 at the early hour of 7:14pm. All of these violent criminal acts have occurred in close proximity to Ohio State’s campus where defenseless students, professors, and university staff work hard, sometimes into late hours, maintaining the high-achieving status of our great institution on many fronts.
While the electronic crime reporting system seems to be working overtime, I have yet to see any drastically increased police presence on campus or its surrounding areas. Electronic correspondence does nothing to curb these dangerous criminal acts.
At present, police resources are being squandered on “low-hanging fruit”, petty acts of crime such as underage drinking. Police officers gather en masse near the South Campus Gateway, the “O” Patio, Tobacco International, and other similar establishments- nabbing harmless students for petty violations rather than protecting our community from the dangers of violence that are very clearly running amok around our beautiful campus.
As our president you hold an enormous amount of power to address this problem. As our president, we revere and respect you. As our president you have an obligation to protect us. Perhaps with your personal police detail you feel safe? While you have the ability to retreat to your home in Bexley, students and staff are afraid to walk from their homes to classes and from their classes to the libraries. This is unacceptable.
I urge you to work with the City of Columbus, its police department, and our own Department of Public Safety to increase the police presence in the University District and put a stop to the real crime in our community. If you care, this must be done soon.
Sincerely,
Cyrus Sethna

Entre nosotros: la población oculta/ Among Us: The Hidden Population
Today Thursday, November 10 I will be broadcasting live from the Hagerty Hall studio with Foreign Language Radio in Spanish!
Please visit the FLC Radio Homepage and click “LISTEN LIVE.”
The broadcast will begin at 11am and will last roughly 30 minutes. Can being human be a crime? I will be speaking with members of the Latino community in Ohio who are living in the United States without documentation. Illegally. We will be discussing their motivations for coming to this country as well as the fear and oppression that they experience. Through this program I hope to share with you that immigrants are normal people who have the same dreams as many Americans and our ancestors. The broadcast will also feature music from the Spanish Boikot and Reincidentes as well as the New York-based Immortal Technique.
With the 2011 General Election looming two days ahead on November 8, many people’s attention is focussed steadily on this time next year when voters will head to the polls to elect the next President of the United States.
“Is Obama Toast? Handicapping the 2012 Election”
This article raises fair points with a lot of evidentiary material to back the claims being made about Obama’s re-election next year.
Organizing for America definitely has a lot of work to do in terms of “get out the vote.” The problem that I’m facing now as a young, liberal voter who considers himself active in politics is that there is no impetus to volunteer my time to help with the campaign. Obama has done nothing that initially made me passionate about him as a candidate. Guantanamo bay is still open, we are still fighting two wars, the Patriot Act still stands, healthcare reform was a huge flop, no talk of immigration reform nor sustainable energy issues has manifested, and the economy is still struggling to keep it’s head above the water.
A do-nothing Obama is still better than the excessively wealthy republican candidates, many of whom are racist, sexist, pigs, disconnected from reality and what it means to be hungry or work hard. I feel that the issues that are important to me and to this nation will go unexamined and left under the rug for four more years- best case scenario.
It’s a sad day for America.
