What do Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have in common? For most people, the only similarity between the two men who have been dominating the 2016 presidential campaign is that they’re both running, and they are both more popular than anyone anticipated. But there is one more similarity: they both represent a dramatic shift in American’s view of politicians.
The AU Women’s basketball team put together a historic season in 2014-2015, amassing a 24-9 overall record and a record of 16-2 in the Patriot League. Although the team started the season 6-6 in its initial non-conference contests, the Eagles won 16 of their final 19 games, including a winning streak that spanned the entire month of February. The Eagles won the Patriot League regular season and tournament title to clinch their first NCAA bid in program history and earned a No. 14 seed for the tournament. The team then traveled to Iowa City and fell 75-67 to the University of Iowa in the first round of the tournament to close out the year.
It’s no secret: Monday night concerts are usually hit or miss affairs. Luckily, Seattle-based indie-rock outfit Telekinesis blends synth-pop sensibility with tack-sharp lyrics that should easily keep the Monday blues at bay.

Fellow Seattle-ite and indie-pop veteran Eric Elbogen (aka Say Hi) will perform an opening set.

A history theme is the name of the game this week. I have always been a history nerd, and could never understand how some people don’t find it interesting: it is all stories of intrigue, love, violence, sex, friendship, loyalty, drama, and betrayal. But though history classes may not be everyone’s cup of tea, historical (fiction and nonfiction) shows and movies are worth a look. To give you all a little taste of the great period shows and films on Netflix, I have picked a few of my favorites.

The murderous attack on Charlie Hebdo was an embarrassment to all Muslims, and the strong condemnation of the attack by Muslims around the world is a reflection of the fact most Muslims realize this. Freedom of speech is not incompatible with Islamic values, and I am a believing Muslim who does not compromise on this point. Unfortunately, one aspect of the expressions of sympathy with the victims of that attack, the drive to pretend that sympathy for the victims of violence requires one to embrace their bigoted and hateful cause, actually undermines the right of free speech. This point is extremely important, so I feel it is my duty to spell out the issues and clear up the confusion.
