Ministry of Cool

Ever since Saltillo’s debut album released in 2006, fans have craved more of his unique music. The mind behind Saltillo, (Menton J. Matthews III), weaves together urban beats, sound bytes, and classic orchestra to create a distinctive form of trip-hop. This unusual style made him renown among fans of the genre. As the years flew by, it was beginning to look like Matthews might not make more music. Fans began to accept Ganglion as Saltillo’s first and last album.

It’s nearly impossible to objectively listen to Lana Del Rey’s music without being somewhat influenced by the massive hype machine she’s created. The name change,…

Moral Fibers takes on a new form of giving to those in need, something they like to call ‘‘charitable employment’’ and ‘‘supporting human capital.’’ As the old saying goes, if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach him to fish, he will eat for a lifetime. Moral Fibers teaches poverty-stricken Haitians the craft of making unique clothing.

Charity comes from the heart — as should sex. In business, philanthropy means a tax credit, a reputation of goodwill, an intangible asset. But what happens when we give into sex but don’t receive the same credit to our account? Now if only being good in bed helped me get a tax credit, but for now I guess I’d settle for just the same amount of consideration in between the sheets.

They solemnly swear they are up to nothing but good. With the end of the books and movie franchise, a little magic and a couple passionate fans at Ithaca College hope to keep the Potter spirit alive.

We have all seen the updates on Facebook and Twitter. Long threads of copied and pasted statuses that always have the same format: the setup, the sob story and then the request, something to the effect of “If 1 million people repost this, Little Sally will get a new kidney.” If you are one of the people who incessantly repost these, I am here to say that the only way this helps is if someone saw the status and decided to give up their kidney.

It’s hard to back up criticisms that say that the “I Heart Boobies” movement sexualizes a disease that targets a sexual part of the body, but the products certainly trivialize it. Sure, they raise money that is donated to breast cancer research and prevention education, but at what cost? The Keep-A-Breast Foundation has created popular products, but at the expense of the seriousness of their cause.

The trend of vintage clothing supports eco-friendly lifestyles, small businesses and frugality. However, “starving-artist chic” has created a phenomenon of worn, thrifty clothing that is making appearances in chain stores with brand-name prices. There’s an increased demand for fashion with even humbler beginnings than the Salvation Army. The must-have in the garment industry is now tribal.

You can’t spell Internet without intern.

While many see it as a way to embarrass friends or stalk an ex’s digital life, some see it as an opportunity to network and get hired as interns.

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce just 72 days after saying “I do.” Last year, Lindsay Lohan spent more time in the criminal justice system than she spent out of it. Britney Spears dated Justin Timberlake, married K-Fed, shaved her head and raised two children in between multiple stints in rehab.
