This is the second and third installment in a five-part series offering a first-person account by David Rohde of his seven months as a captive of the Taliban in Pakistan.

Urban Dictionary

The Urban Dictionary defines Stay Gold as:
1. -Stay young and notice the world.

"Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold."

2. -Comes from the Robert Frost poem, "Nothing gold can stay." Often can refer to staying true to yourself and your own character.
-More literal meanings can be to stay where you are, in whatever figurative meaning (ie: relationship, city, state, country) you can conjure up.

"Stay gold, Ponyboy."

3. -Being true to yourself, innocent, uncorrupted, unblemished etc.
-Not conforming to what society dictates, but in a sense marching to the beat of your own drummer.

Johnny: "Your gold when your a kid. When your a kid, everythings new. Like dawn, the way you dig sunsets, Ponyboy, that's gold. Keep it that way, its a good way to be."

4. -Employs a variety of meanings, all of which gravitate around themes of maintaining self, integrity, and youth. Used extensively in the straight edge doctrine of pure living to mean "stay free of drugs, alcohol, and other vices."

"Stay--stay gold. Stay--true to yourself, to your friends, and never let go."

5. -Stay true and pure, have integrity. Remember who you are and don't change it. Be yourself.

Fresh off the Press: Daggers

Sikh boy withdrawn from school in dispute of ceremonial dagger

A Sikh boy has been withdrawn from the Compton School in Barnet, north London, in a dispute over a ceremonial dagger, his local education authority confirmed.

(Published: 2:30PM BST 13 Oct 2009)

The 14-year-old who has not been named, was forbidden from wearing a five-inch (13cm) kirpan to school on the grounds that it was a health and safety risk.

The ceremonial sword, or dagger, is one of five articles of the Sikh faith that must be carried at all times.

The school governors said they had tried to reach a compromise and had proposed that he wore a two-inch version of the dagger welded into a sheath.

But this was rejected by his family who said the miniature dagger was not a genuine kirpan.

The boy first started carrying the five inch kirpan two years ago when he was baptised as a Sikh.

But according to his older brother Ravjeet Singh, he was no longer allowed to wear the dagger at the beginning of this term.

''He was greeted by the head teacher at the school and was asked if he was wearing the kirpan,'' he told the BBC's Asian Network.

''He said yes and then they said, 'We're going to have to turn you away'.''

The boy's family told the BBC he was now being privately educated having missed five weeks of school.

A statement from The Compton School board of governors said: ''The student involved is a valued pupil at the school who is expected to get good grades in his forthcoming GCSEs.

''The school's governing body has spent the past two years trying to reach an agreement with the family and to establish the appropriate nature of a religious artifact that can safely be brought into school.

''During this period of time, along with the local authority, we have examined potential compromises after looking at how this issue has been dealt with in other schools, education authorities and elsewhere within the Sikh community and taken legal advice.

''At the moment we are holding a place open for the student should he feel able to wear a kirpan suitable to bring into school.''

*it's just a dagger . . . not a gun! it's just a ceremonial knife . . . not a machete! it's just a golden shank . . . not a satanic shiv crafted by goth-garbed tweekers. just some thoughts
