Phinehas: reaching the unreachable through metal (VIDEO)

Today's metal scene is a very dark place. Social networking sites are littered with bands that revel in their own depression, emptiness and isolation. Other bands only emulate their peers by making a bunch of noise with zero lyrical or musical substance to speak of, hoping that the kids in the crowd will hear something they like in their "music." But Biola's own Phinehas have a different mentality when it comes to playing metal, complete with a unique and talented sound.

Deaths at Disney

All those college educated fat cats may tell you the importance of proper “theology” in this world, but those of us living on the mean streets of Huntington Beach know that death is all around you. Naturally, when I offered to take my girlfriend to Disneyland, the so-called “Happiest Place on Earth,” I made sure to remind her that nine people have all died from their visits to that death trap, not to mention the countless others I’m sure Walt Disney has silenced from beyond the grave.

The streetlight turns green and I zip along Colima Avenue in Whittier. I am a regular eco-friendly, environmentally-responsible human being. Even my carbon emissions from Vicky’s borrowed car help the planet.

SICS renaming to honor “man with passion for missions”

Three years ago a proposal to rename the School of Intercultural Studies after then-president Clyde Cook landed on the desk of Cook himself. He refused to accept the honor. However, last week, a year after his death, the idea was realized – with one small addition: his wife’s name, Anna Belle, was also included. During the 80th Missions Conference, the school became the Clyde and Anna Belle Cook School of Intercultural Studies. At the same time, the school celebrated its 25th anniversary.
