Nihangs display martial valour
Jasvir Singh, a Sikh student who was expelled from a public school in France for wearing turban, his mother Surjit Kaur and his brother Karamvir Singh have come to Punjab to seek help of Sikh politicians and religious leaders. They met Sikh high priests yesterday at Anandpur Sahib. They also sought help of people of Punjab in this connection by joining a brief protest held by Nihangs and other Sikhs to seek the quashing of ban on wearing turban in French public schools. Mr Karamvir Singh, elder brother of Jasvir Singh, talking to The Tribune on phone from Jalandhar, said today that the turban issue had not been resolved yet. Sikh students wearing turbans were not allowed admission to public schools where education is provided free of cost. Ms Surjit Kaur said Jasvir Singh, who was rusticated from the school along with Vikramjit Singh, Ranjit Singh, Gurjot Singh and Gurmolak Singh in France for wearing turbans in the school, was now studying through correspondence.

Some might call it a midlife crisis, but Koos thinks of it as a boyhood dream. Posted by Chadwick Matlin, Oct. 24, 4:30 p.m. (link) (discuss) ( tips ) Rudy's Sinker: Politics is about compromise. Voters know this, and politicians know they know it. That's why they'll often bend their position to accommodate a new situation without paying a political price. Sports, however, is not about compromise. It's not about sacrificing now so you can win later. It's about winning now, later, and always. It's starkly Manichaean—the one arena where you can say, "You're with us or against us," and no one will accuse you of being overly dramatic.

It’s Lookin’ Good Dedicated to the Egyptian People
In the past two decades, the number of venues, events, funds and possibilities available to the arts community has grown in leaps and bounds. Egypt has undergone a major cultural revival in the visual arts, but beyond quantity, what is it that has made the art of this age different from that of the previous decades? With few exceptions, artists in the past had to resort to working within a structure wholly monopolized by the state.
