Khaled Hosseini describes the writing of his book, "The Kite Runner," as an "act of resurrecting the dead." The Afghan doctor and author used his own childhood experiences of growing up in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, to craft the novel, which chronicles the life of an Afghan boy alongside the history and politics of his country. The best-selling book is being used in the One Book, One Community program, which urges MSU freshman and East Lansing residents to read the book and then discuss it at various events throughout August and September. Hosseini was born in Kabul in 1965, but moved to France in 1976 after his diplomat father was assigned to the Afghan embassy in Paris.

Tammye Coles, coordinator for the Black Student Alliance, or BSA, was at the event and said the connections made at these receptions are important. "There has been work done showing (that) students who are, in some way, connected to campus are more likely to seek information or assistance via a professor or student organizations," Coles said.
A friend of mine painted a wedding proposal on the side of his barn in big letters facing the highway. I'm guessing anyone driving past his farm either sighed with romantic appreciation or gagged at the cheesiness of it. But it's not just him.

But the 24-year-old Lansing barkeep's greatest secret isn't his signature drink, the Panty Dropper - a mix of sour apple and watermelon Schnapps, Bacardi 151 and raspberry vodka.
