The accident is part of an \aVeXTfX\a`\ZeTagUbTgfYh__bYeXYhZXXfXX\aZAbeg[4Y-rica over the last two decades. The Italian Prime Minister, Enrico Letta, hopes that the crisis will be discussed at the Oct. 24-25 European Council meeting.

Taliban leader capturedLatif Mehsud, among the highest commanders and nego-tiators for the Pakistani Taliban, was captured in eastern Af-ghanistan by U.S. forces. His group claimed responsibility in the attempted Times Square bombings of 2010. The Paki-stani Taliban saythat the Afghan army captured Mehsud at a border crossing, while the governor of the eastern Logar province says that the US captured him on a main road. Mehsud was positioned as a go-between in the process of upcoming peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban.

Nobel Highlights chemical weapons watchdogsThe Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its continued efforts to eradicate chemical weapons, including the Syrian armys poison gas stockpiles. There are hopes that the award will lend the OPCW the strong support they will need in Syria and inspire the attainment of peace. OPCW Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu noted that events in Syria have been a tragic reminder that there remains much work still to be done.

This article is designed to give a basic overview of the current event

that is dominating geopolitical me-dia coverage: the Syrian Civil War. Syria is a Mediterranean country sur-rounded by Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, and Jordan. The country is ethnically and religiously diverse, and is cur-rently engaged in one of the bloodi-est civil wars in modern history.

Syrias civil war began in April 2011, when protestors peacefully opposed the dictatorship of Bashar Al Assad, who has ruled the country since 2000. Syria has been under the oppressive leadership of the Assad family since the 1970s. Inspired to action by a movement of protesting, known as the Arab Spring, peace-ful Syrians protested the dictatorial Assad government. Assad responded by torturing and killing activists and their families, including children. The Syrian government then opened eXbag[XcebgXfgbefj[\V[fbba_XWto protestor retaliation.

There has been a re-bubbling of c o n t r o v e r s y against Trin-

ity Western Universitys proposed law school. The heat of the discus-sion is centred on Trinity Westerns 6b``ha\gl 6biXaTag fcXV\VT__lthat it asks students to abstain from sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman. The underlying argument in opposition of the law school claims that the Covenant is discriminatory against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender students, and that for this reason TWU is not dhT_\XWgbgXTV[_Tj!FhccbegXefbYthe law school feel that this is a great misunderstanding regarding the Community Covenant.

Those against the proposal of a law school being founded on Chris-tian faith principles point to a state-ment issued in 2001 by the Supreme Court of Canada concerning TWU: We conclude that a homosexual student would not be tempted to

These are the markers of a political deadlock in Washington D.C., resulting from Congress being unable to agree on a budget.

There are thousands of news stories about the recent government shutdown. Most of the articles on the story blame either the Republicans or the Democrats, but few address the real issue: debt. Its as though the U.S. government has been max-ing out one credit card, and instead of paying it off, applying for an-other. How long can this last?

Plastic surgeon Norman Leaf, of South-ern California, is providing notes and X-rays of Monroes plastic surgeries for auction. The notes were documented by plastic surgeon Michael Gurdin and record the medical history of Monroe between 1950 and 1962. It is expected that the documents will sell for between $15,000 and $30,000. The money will be donated towards reconstructive sur-gery for U.S. veterans via the Rebuilding Americas Warriors foundation.

The Martin Aircraft Company has plans to release a personal jetpack model sometime next year. The $150,000 de-vice will reach heights of 7,000 feet and speeds of 50mph. The jetpack is for short distances only, as the fuel supply will only last 30 minutes. The product is being marketed towards the U.S. Army and emergency services, but Mar-tin plans to make a more consumer-friendly model for the private market.

Upwards of 42 people have been killed and 1,675 more injured by giant Asian hornets in Shaanxi, China. The breed of hornet, Vespa mandarinia, has reportedly been seen in the United States. Vespa hornets venom is potent and may lead to kidney failure, closing of the airways, or cardiac arrest. Their stinger length is an average of inch. Insect populations around the world appear to be increasing due to climate change.

supporting either Assad or the Op-position Forces is a lose-lose sce-nario. Supporting Assad would be upholding an inhumane dictatorship that slaughters its own people. Step-ping behind the Opposition Forces would be arming militant Jihadist Is-lamists, like Al-Qaeda. Rebel forces have become unnecessarily brutal and ruthless, destroying peaceful communities, including a Christian

vention would have to be taken by an individual country without the con-sent of any international body. Most recently, a polarizing discussion sur-rounding the United States interven-tion in Syria has occurred. In 2012, President Barack Obama declared that if Assad used chemical weapons on his people this would be a red line that would validate and provoke international intervention. There has been recent evidence of chemical warfare, allegedly used by the Assad regime. This prompted Obama to consult Congress for permission to surgically strike Syria, in order to deter Assad from future actions.

Russian president, Vladimir Pu-tin, voluntarily agreed to moderate a discussion that would ensure Assads destruction of chemical weapons. This allowed Obama and the U.S. government a way of avoiding an unpopular intervention. The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution within the last few weeks outlining the method of chemical weapon disposal.

From the outside looking in,

What complicates the situation is the religious dynamic. Assad is an Alawite Muslim, a minority in Syria where Sunni Muslims comprise the majority of the population. As Assad is a part of the religious minority in Syria, religious tolerance was valued under his leadership, with the well-being of the Syrian Christian mi-nority upheld. Now, in the midst of civil war, radical IslamistsAl-Qaeda linked Jihadistsare intermixed with the once-peaceful protestors (who have since become the Sunni Oppo-f\g\ba 9beVXf `T^\aZ g[X Vba\Vgboth religiously and politically mo-tivated. To date there have been over 100,000 deaths and over 2 million refugeeshalf of which are children.

Since Assads initial assault on his people, there have been efforts towards international intervention on behalf of the Opposition Forces. Yet Russia has consistently opposed such an intervention from its posi-tion on the United Nations Security Council, as Syria is one of Russias last and closest allies and is a major buyer of Russian weapons.

ACADEMY.

Ive left abstract ideas out as hav-ing ultimate meaning in life (e.g. happiness, love, etc.), because I think that your friends or religious beliefs or family, or even your pet, are neces-sary in order to possess, say, happi-ness. For instance, happiness doesnt precede friendship; it emerges from it. Notice how interpersonal relation-ships are at the top of the list?

It is also worth noting that people

can still believe in some kind of tran-scendent purpose for their life (e.g., God cares about me), but it still may not have meaning to them. In other words, we can still create existential meaning devoid of any transcendent meaning. Obviously, people who dont believe in an overarching plan for their lives can still create imma-nent meaning in their lives, e.g. plan-ning to get married or hoping to buy

Why People Choose To Live

|jaron NEUFELDFor this article, Im talking about meaning from a subjec-tive perspective

(e.g. what has meaning to me!?), rather than something objective or independent of what you think. There is a distinction to be made be-tween the meaning and the purpose of life. The meaning of life is exis-tential at its root within every single person; that is, it is not a universal answer, such as getting laid, making money, or even 42. Similarly, the

When asked, What is the most im-portant thing in your life? most peo-ple dont answer me. Its a huge claim to say that your self is presup-posed as the foundation by which you can have any meaning in your life. Something has meaning because it matters to you!

Self.

The majority of the world adheres to a religion. It appears that people draw the meaning of their lives from their religious worldviews. Who am I or why do I exist type of ques-tions are usually given answers ac-cording to religion. Religious beliefs can sometimes take precedence over other very important or meaningful things in peoples lives.

Religion.

This is usually the default answer for most people. Family bonds can be the most intimate relations be-tween people. This appears to be the deepest value across the board.

Family.One could have all good things in life, yet not be happy without a friend. Friendship can substitute family for those who may not have one, or at least, a good one. Friends are vital to life.

Friends.

In order to foster the relations above, you need an environment that allows g[X`gbXk\fgTaWbhe\f[G[Xjbe_W(e.g. dogs, trees, water, grass, etc.) is essential for basic subsistence and to nurture the relations between you and your family or friends, for instance. Nature, you could say, is presupposed as the background which supports all the above. So, that would mean that littering is contrary to everyones meaning of life!

World.

purpose of life is directed towards an end result or goal, which inherently possesses meaning within it.

I think that the purpose of human life is ultimately found within the in-tentions of God, and the meaning of our lives is found within that purpose. However, that transcendent purpose is obviously not agreeable with ev-eryone, whether they are aware of it or not. So, I would like to suggest a hierarchy of ultimate meanings in life that apply to all people.

Now this hierarchy of mean-ings is changeable, because certain

things have different meanings to different people. Obviously not ev-eryone ascribes to a religion or has a family, so you can see why this list is changeable according to each person. What matters to me may not matter to you. If the meaning of life is something you ultimately choose, then I think that there are some things which all people would certainly agree upon as possessing meaning in their lives. Here they are:

Everything.Everything afterwards amounts to personal preferences. People can have immanent meaning according almost anything that theyre aware of. For instance, your favorite food, a certain band, or even Nintendo. The little things you love in life do can have a large impact in terms of what has meaning in your life. They shouldnt be underestimated.

a nice car. Do you care about your-self ? Do your religious beliefs im-pact your life at all? Is your family important to you? Do you value your friends? Do you care if peo-ple throw? Do you love Nintendo? At the end of the day, you decide what the meaning of life is.

God intended work to be bal-anced by rest. Taking Sunday, or any other day, to devote to resting in Gods presence is deeply important to this balance. However, I believe that there is actually something much more important to understand here. In Jeremiah 31:25, the Lord tells the Israelites, I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint. Later, in Mat-thew 11, Jesus builds off this, saying, Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble

If we really want to reclaim the Sabbath in our own lives, we need to embrace it as something larger than a day when we dont do homework. Sabbath should be a state of mind in which we are constantly throwing our cares to the Lord and learning to rest in the comfort of His providence. When you dont have the time to take a full day off from your studies, dont beat yourself up. Instead, get in the habit of offering your troubles and concerns to God, praying for his peace within the few minutes you do have available.

Having a day of rest is important in order to refresh our body, mind, and spirit.

heritage are angry debates, church divisions, and a general overall dis-trust towards one another. In para-phrasing Jesus, a professor of mine once joked, when two or three are gathered in My name, there is an argument. The class, laughed of course, but all the while his words rang sadly true.

The contemporary Church, how-ever, must stand up against this distrustful and altogether ignorant attitude we have built up against one another. And yes, I said church, singular. Christ as the head has only one body beneath him, not two; we have not been given the option for

more. With this in mind, it is vi-tal for Evangelicals and Catholic Christians to recover the pro-found sense of unity we have with one another in Christ. And this is precisely what this column of ecumenical dialogue purposes to do. Ecumenical dialogue is by nature an ongoing, unity seek-

ing conversation between the varying traditions of the Church. Unity however does not mean uniformity; in fact, it is often the differences of thought which most sharpen and expand our horizons of truth. So may we join together, Evan-gelicals and Catholics alike, and ask the hard questions to one another, not pass-ing over our differences, but ultimately doing so because of Christ who unites us together in Him.

At any univer-sity you visit there will be two primary goals: teach

students and conduct research. While at Trinity Western University it can be easy to forget this dual pur-pose because we place so much of an emphasis on teaching, Trinity does have a thriving (if small) community of researchers who are attempting to expand the limits of human knowl-edge.

Jens Zimmerman, one of these researchers, is in the middle of his second 5-year term as the Canadian Research Chair in Interpretation, Religion, and Culture, a position he is using to bring major theologians and Biblical studies researchers to our campus for the lecture series Scripture, Theology, and Culture: Acts of Interpretation.

The series is meant to be an awareness raising project that gets the Christian community talking about important issues regarding Biblical interpretation, theology, culture, and the inescapable connec-tions between these areas. At the se-ries foundation is the idea that with-in Christianity, there have always been differing opinions and beliefs, and that true spiritual growth comes from engaging those differences openly.

The focus of the lectures will be on Biblical interpretation. Accord-ing to Professor Zimmerman, our interpretation of scripture, which is deeply affected by our cultural con-

text, often lies at the heart of these theological divisions. By studying the effects of these three things to-gether, hopefully we will move to a greater understanding of God and His work in the world.

G[XefgbYg[X_XVgheXfEXYeT`-ing Scripture, was given by Profes-sor Joel Green of Fuller Theological Seminary. Within his discussion, he focused upon the divide between Biblical studies and theology, and the need for those two disciplines to work more closely together.

Each of us, when reading the Bi-ble, brings a particular set of circum-stances and experiences that colour our interpretation. The discipline of Biblical studies is content to deter-mine the ways in which a commu-nitys cultural experiences affect its scriptural interpretation. However, Green correctly points out that its not enough to simply draw attention to these differences, or explain how they arise. The different interpreta-tions must also be judged by their g[Xb_bZ\VT_ eT`\VTg\baf! Abg T__interpretations are valid and we must use theology as the primary means of determining an interpretations legitimacy.

However, Professor Green point-ed out in his concluding his talk, that there is not one correct interpreta-tion of the Bible. While sometimes the tradition we grow up in will lead us to a bad reading, more often it will simply shape which portion of Bibli-cal wisdom we focus on, and which portions we most heavily model our lives after.

And Ive kind of had this urge lately to throw Christmas bulbs at a wall, but I dont have the time or money for that. Shoot! I should be working on my presentation due Monday!

its not fair to say your professor is just the worst for assigning you a paper when youre already packed that week, but we do it anyway. Sur-prise: complaining doesnt really make it better. Dont blame the class, school, province, country, world, or universe because you have too much to do. More importantly, dont blame you. You need to be the number one person on your team.

Timothy Galloway, in his book The Inner Game of Tennis, describes the relationship in which you talk to yourself as being divided into two parts: Self One (the teller), and Self Two (the doer). He goes on to dis-cuss that just as it becomes harder to succeed if your teacher is demand-ing and discouraging, the same goes for the way we talk to ourselves. He explains that people are more suc-cessful when they are in the zone, or when Self One stops saying, Do it, Amy. Come on! Just do it! and just allows Self Two to be free.

idea of how many credits, jobs, ac-tivities, and clubs you can commit to in one semester. That makes it sound very idealistic, like, oh, me, oh my! Look how much Im learning about myself ! I can do anything! But ac-tuallythats what university is for, right? Worst-case scenario, you burn out and you dont succeed in your classes. Im not encouraging that, but remember that this is the worst that could happen to you this Octo-ber. Knowing where the line is where you burn out is extremely valuable information for your future. If youre going to fail, do it in a teachable en-vironment.

In my second year, a lot of people started telling me to follow my pas-sions, and that you know the things you are really passionate about by what you do in your free time. Well, if that were true, I would be really passionate about Facebook, or, more fcXV\VT__l Wb\aZ abg[\aZ ba g[XInternet. I decided that was untrue, and began putting a lot of pressure on myself to always be reading good books, having deep and meaningful conversations with people, or watch-ing endless TED talks. And while all these things are wonderful and very enjoyable, it turns out they dont re-lax me on a study break. It turns out you cant give your 100% to every minute of every day, because thats exhausting! Say it with me: Its okay to give myself a break. I will be a suc-cessful, hardworking human being by allowing myself to relax. Naps, TV, and social media are not always

success-killers. I is kind, I is smart, I is important (name that movie!).

4aW aT__l WXTe eXTWXe eXf\fgthe temptation to always be busy. Its important to remember that even though University is where you learn career skills, you also learn life skills. You need to know how to communi-cate well for every job, and, this may shock you, but you learn most of that through your relationships. Its be-cause of this you shouldnt put your friends on the back burner. Im not saying put them before your classes, but I cannot stress the importance of g[X\ahXaVXlbheYe\XaWfTebhaWlbhhave on the rest of your life. Youre probably aware that youre changing so much every year; think about the effect your roommates or classmates have had on your ideas so far. You need to make time for them. Wait, take a deep breath, Im not trying to add one more demand to your mid-terms week! Im saying stop saying the infamous friendship killers: we should hang out sometime, we should get coffee sometime, or I miss you, we need to catch up! Stop it. Never again! Bring your planner around with you everywhere if you must, but set tentative dates of re-laxation dates with those who are important to you. Give grace and un-derstanding when plans fall through, but you must make your friends a focus in your life. Plus, this gives you something to look forward to in your stress!

You got this, October-sufferers. We are going to be okay.

The Oh HellosThrough the Deep, Dark ValleyIn todays modern music scene, the value in a songs lyrics is consistently underrated. All too often we ignore the words in favour of the music or the beat. Thats why The Oh Hellos latest album Through the Deep, Dark Valley is immensely refreshing. Available on Bandcamp and Noisetrade for the generous price of nothing, its a rare treat to stumble upon a band with lyrics rife with rele-vant truth, coupled with vibrant harmonies of Mumford proportions.

But the show delivers an accurate depiction of a Godless man in a Godless world, which is the same world of the Old Testament and the same world that we live in today. The moral teachings of Breaking Bad may not be crystal clear, but we can learn a startling amount if we just look through the cracks.

The moral erosion of Walter White is a thought-provoking reversal to scriptural theology. In an inversion of the Book of Job, Walt manipulates his own personal suffering and powerlessness to justify his entrance into the drug world. He uses his illness and aTaV\T_ f\ghTg\ba Tf T eXTfba gbperform increasingly gruesome acts.

The quick and alarming consequence of Walts choice is a stereotypical allusion to the wrath

The monoto-ny of Walts life is broken, however, when he is diagnosed with inoper-able lung cancer. Faced with the is-sue of providing for his family as well as paying for his medical treatment, Walt enters into the trade of meth-amphetamine production with one of his former students. From then on, Walts conversion from an under-appreciated teacher to the depraved king of a drug empire is both agoniz-ing and entertaining.

It has recently come to my atten-tion that there is a group in our be-loved country of England claiming a womans right to a university

education. Between you and me, I say it is utter bosh! It has been bad enough already witnessing the very obvi-ous decline in modest dress, particularly in those young upstarts who have begun to sport bloomers on bicycles! The fact that these women value comfort and ease of movement over the notion of basic Christian decency is beyond me. I have had to chastise my young pupils more often than not as of late, as these sinful sights often pa-rade past my lecture hall windows on their two-wheeled contraptions. Can you imagine the havoc that these har-lots would wreak if they were allowed to descend upon our universities like a predatory pack of cockroaches? For the love of our revered Queen Victoria, our young men wouldnt be able to focus on their books!

Beyond that, there are examples even closer to home of the very foundations of our society beginning to crum-ble. Recently, in our town, a young woman by the name of Gloria Clandon* deterred the hopeful affections of a certain newly-setup dentist by saying, I have no inten-tion of getting married. I do not think the conditions of marriage at present are such as any self-respecting wom-an can accept. I beseech you, Mr. Editor! Self-respect-ing woman? What on earth does that mean? The whole thing is madness.

Of course I think it is only fair to point out this par-ticular young womans obvious connection to a one Mrs. Lanfrey Clandon,* the authoress of Twentieth Century Treatises and one of the forerunners in this fanatical

movement. After all, she spent many years roaming the country and encouraging people to champion a womans right to own property, demand university degrees, participate in the professions, and have a parliamentary say.

If women such as this are not prevented from in-structing their daughters to articulate such horrid, nonsensical things to good men who offer them a life of duty, obedience, affection, morality, and religion if only they will sit still and not speak, where will it end? Where will the next generation of British chil-dren come from if not from respectable marriages? Will men and women soon be forced to reason out whether they actually like one another or not before settling down into a respectable arrangement?

The whole situation is enough to make me want to move to Madeira! The uncivilized ways of the in-habitants there would be a heaven compared to this hellish, topsy-turvy-turned society.

I hope that you, Mr. Editor, and other readers of your column will be inspired to action. We must save this nation that we love so dearly from the ter-rible clutches of these radicals! It is a matter of social decency.

Yours most cordially,Doctor Shlicktenstein, Professor of Humanities, Ethics and GenderStudies at University of London. London,England.

In sports, nothing is easy. It takes drive and determi-nation to reach

The three of us were battling it out, which I wasnt expecting, Moncks says. I didnt have any ex-pectations to start over them.

Moncks had put a lot of work into her game, as she was expecting to be the starting setter by her third year. OReilly had graduated in 2011 and Hudson was set to graduate in 2012. For the 2012-2013 season, Moncks was destined to be the starting setter.

This would not be the case.In 2011, the Spartans recruited

Kelci French to play as an outside hit-ter. However, French was known for her natural position as a setter.
