		<title>Loss of website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you may have noticed almost everything I wrote in January is gone from the site. I accidentally deleted my blog a few weeks ago and my web-host wasn&#8217;t able to bring back anything after Jan 7th.
Live and learn I guess&#8230;

		<title>Terry Tales: Game On!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you liked Terry Talks then you are going to love Terry&#8217;s next big event: Terry Tales!
This is your chance to meet and talk with like minded students about issues that matter to you. Think of it as a mini-Terry Talks. Each student comes with a 5 minute story in min about whatever topic they like. Everyone&#8217;s name is put into a hat and the names that come out get to tell their story to the group.
Its a great chance to meet new people, share ideas, and be inspired!

		<title>Genetic Art &#8211; Featuring You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently came across a website, DNA 11, whose catchphrase is There is Only One Original. They are, of course, referring to you your genetic make-up which the company collects and creates artwork out of. It sounds absurd but this is how it works.
DNA 11 sends you a mouth swab that you use to collect epithelial cells from the inside of your cheek. You then mail these back to the company and they conduct a gel electrophoresis run of your genes. The results of this (the black and white bands ...]]></description>

		<title>UBC Tuition Consultation: What Does It Really Say?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I just received an e-mail from UBC asking me to fill out a survey on tuition. There are three questions and they read as follows:

To what extent will the proposed 2% tuition increase ($88.59 on a base Arts/Science tuition) be an impediment to you continuing your studies at UBC?
Your tuition currently pays for 28%-30% of the operating costs of your UBC education. A government grant and investment income pays the balance. Choose one of the following to rate this 28%-30%:
What is the most important thing for UBC to invest ...]]></description>

		<title>My Vote: BOG</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Board of Governors: Azim Wazeer,  Sean Heisler


First of all the obvious: don’t vote for Blake Frederick. You would  think that after all of the things that he has done wrong in the past  year he would realize that this whole ‘leading’ and ‘making policy’  thing might not be his forte. I guess not. I mentioned him along side my  definition of a zealot in a previous post: ‘Someone who, having lost  sight of their goals, redoubles their efforts’ and that is exactly what  ...]]></description>

		<title>The Problem With Prorogation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Stephen Harper’s decision to shut down parliament has been met with  criticism from all sides of the political spectrum. Is it a hugely  political move? Yes. Is it to cover up the Afghan prisoner issue (that  shouldn’t be an issue)? Yes. Has it hurt him? By all accounts,  dramatically. The below poll by The Strategic Counsel explains how badly  (source).
So where does that put us now. To  understand that we have to start by understanding Harper’s strategy over  that past 12 months. Since ...]]></description>

		<title>UBC Vancouver Senate Meeting: January 20th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I’d write a bit of a report on what will be happening at  this Wednesday’s Senate meeting. There isn’t any super exciting or  controversial motions but there are a few interesting presentations. The  agenda can be found here.
I’m just going to go through the main items of interest. If you have  questions or comments about any other items then use the contact form to  get a hold of me.

		<title>AMS Elections: Some Initial Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many of the other media outlets have done a fantastic job of bringing  you the latest on the news on the elections. I’ve yet to see some  broader commentary on the races so I thought I would give some of that.  I’m not going to make predictions or declare support but I’d like to lay  out some broad themes I think that we will see, some I think are good,  some not so much.
Increased Student Interest?
Regardless of which side of ‘The Debacle’ a student found ...]]></description>

		<title>Apply to the Clinton Global Initiative University Conference &#8211; Meet Bill Clinton!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By far the one of the best experiences I&#8217;ve ever been a part of was attending the 2nd Annual Clinton Global Initiative University Conference in Austin, TX last year.

If you are a student bent on making a positive difference in the world then this is the place to get your start. This year, the 3rd CGIU is happening in Miami from April 16-18. It will undoubtedly be as awesome this year as it was last year. Participants will get to hear speeches from and interact with world leaders in many ...]]></description>
