We've barely got over Christmas: the last mince pie has been eaten and that stubborn piece of Christmas cake that no one chose to eat up has been thrown away. Now we are faced with endless acceptance speeches, glittering gongs and ticker tape as the awards season is here once more. It seems that everything and everyone has to have an award ceremony nowadays.
Whilst many of us will be slaving away in the coalface that is work, there are those select few, who some may envy, that are living the high-life on the red carpet. Traditional award ceremonies call for the most common of formal dress codes, Black Tie. But where does this dress code come from? What is it supposed to look like? It seems many of our celebrities don't know either, or have chosen deliberately to flaunt it.
Black Tie was the creation of celebrated dandy Griswold Lorillard, who wore a mutated and deliberately altered version of White Tie to New York's Tuxedo Park Club in 1886. At first, sartorial traditionalists were shocked with both the change and the audacity of the man. Lorillard, whose father owned the club – so there was no danger of being thrown out – wore a much shorter jacket than the required tailcoat. He also wore the white piqué shirt, which was worn with correct White Tie, and black trousers.
In England, the then Prince of Wales, Edward, had introduced a similarly short jacket for him and his courtiers, which they dubbed a "Cowes jacket", which they wore to the annual boating festival.
Fashionistas, at first shocked by the new form, soon began to warm to the new design and the new dress code caught on, soon evolving into how we wear it today.
Black Tie, when worn correctly, is not to be taken literally: it does not mean wearing a black tie – one is not going to a funeral. The tie is a black bow tie, and, where possible, should be self-tied. A white dress shirt (preferably piqué) with turndown collar can be fastened with evening studs. A black dinner jacket and tapered trousers are also part of the dress code. Black patent leather evening shoes are optional, although preferred.
Black Tie is more diverse than some imagine. It can be dressed up or down. For example, if attending a private dinner at home, one could select a soft silk shirt with properly tied bow tie, if going to a subscription dinner – a pleated shirt.
Ladies don't have it quite so easy when it comes to dressing up for a Black Tie event, although like their male counterparts, they can dress up or down, from little black dress with pearls for a formal business function, to something far more glamorous with 'important' jewellery for that award ceremony. However, the reason men wear black and white is so that it acts as a blank canvas for their partners to wear whatever colour they so wish (within reason, of course). Floor length dresses can be worn for more formal black tie events; otherwise cocktail length or luxurious evening trousers are perfect. If attending a white tie event, then long dresses for ladies are de rigueur, together with tiaras and gloves. Earrings can be more flamboyant for evening events, dangling sparkles only at night, and always smaller and discreet – perhaps the ubiquitous pearls – for day wear.
There is so much to say on the humble Black Tie (including how one actually ties it) that next week we will discuss this dress code further.

Burglar steals baby's ashes from Georgia home
MARIETTA, Ga. — A burglar broke into a couple's Cobb County home Monday morning, stole the usual collection of valuables that burglars usually take -- and, sadly, stole much, much more.
The burglar also stole a silver box that contains the ashes of the couple's son, who died at birth.
Monday evening the father, Jody Hughey, through his tears, showed 11Alive's Jon Shirek a photo of the box, hoping someone will spot it and return it.
The couple's best hope, now:
"That we get our son back," Hughey said.
Jody and Haley Hughey's infant son was Caleb Ean Hughey, who died at birth on October 16, 2008.
The silver box, serving ever since as the urn, has an unmistakably personal engraving on the top of it.
"It's got his name, Caleb Ean Hughey, and his birth date," Jody said.
Monday morning the Hugheys were both out of the house, and when Haley came home at around noon, Jody said, "There was glass all over the floor" in the dining area.
A burglar had walked into their backyard, stood on top of their air conditioner next to the house, reached up to break a pane of glass in a window , unlatched the window, climbed through into the house, then helped himself to jewelry and other valuables, including the silver box on top of the dresser.
"It is a shiny, silver-looking box," Jody said, "so they might have thought that the box itself was of value. They may not have even realized what was in there. And they may have simply thought, 'that's a nice looking box, there's probably some expensive jewelry in there.' You know, I'm assuming they didn't even open it to look in, they just shoved it into a backpack and took off."
Just that quickly, Jody said, he and his wife lost their son a second time.
"We've struggled with infertility for about four or five years now, and we've not been able to have children, other than the one. And he was born prematurely. We lost him at birth." Jody caught his breath, in grief, in tears. "So he is, to us, he is our only son. And it's very important we get him back."
The box is square, about four inches by four inches, and about two or three inches deep.
"It's got a border engraved around it and an angel engraved on the top of the box. Basically -- little hearts engraved around the border, and an angel engraved on the center," just above Caleb's name and birth date.
And the Hugheys are asking that anyone who sees it to call Cobb County Police or 911. Help get it back to the Hugheys.

The Director-General attends the UN Chief Executives Board
The Director-General attended the formal session of the UN Chief Executives Board (CEB) spring session which opened today in Madrid.
Prior to that, the Director-General co-chaired with the Executive Director of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in the presence of UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, a special working meeting on the review of the UN Chief Executives Board mechanisms.
During the formal session, participants discussed the reports of the high-level committees on programmes, management and development which were endorsed after a fruitful discussion. This debate was then followed by an exchange on water issues during which the Director-general underlined the excellent cooperation between UN agencies in the UN-Water framework and recalled that UNESCO is the lead agency for the 2013 International Year of Water Cooperation.
"It is essential to note that international water cooperation touches not only upon science and environment but it goes well beyond to encompass the wellbeing of humanity, human rights and human dignity," said the Director-General. She highlighted that "it is therefore essential to carry forward this topic into the post-2015 development agenda".
Finally, the CEB had an in-depth exchange on international migration and development issues which are of system-wide concern, in view of the high level meeting that the UN General Assembly will convene on this matter next October.
The Director-General will participate tomorrow in the CEB "Retreat" which will be mainly devoted to the post-2015 development agenda and the MDGs implementation at the country level.

Normally, this would be about Josh Harrison absolutely destroying Yadier Molina at the plate during tonight's Pirates-Cardinals game. But, well, the person running MLB's Twitter feed is just so goddamn impressed with Molina's skill at holding onto a ball, in a play that forced the catcher to leave the game as a precaution, it seemed like a perfect time to alienate all of the female fans that happen to comprise the feed's 2.4 million followers. To wit:
As one female tipster put it, "Well, it prompted quite a reaction: Making fun of a player injury and pissing off women all in fewer than 140 characters. Well done." That's some efficient alienation, MLB.

Often it's small things that make the difference between an unpopular hostel that backpackers avoid and a great hostel that they love. In the comments and reviews on Hostelz.com, we see the same issues over and over again. Many of these issues cost little or nothing for a hostel to fix. Often it's just that hostel owners are unaware of what they need to do to keep their guests happy and their hostel full.
This document was produced thanks to the input of the Hostelz.com staff, our reviewers, and many many backpackers all over the world through their comments on Hostelz.com, with additional input thanks to the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree forums and the HostelManagement.com forums. We hope that over time more hostel owners will be aware of these points and it will help to improve the hostel experience for all backpackers, and the hosteling industry as a whole.
What all good hostels need...
Nothing upsets guests more than getting charged for things that are normally expected to be free in most hostels. They know when a hostel owner is charging them for a service that costs little or nothing to provide. The bad vibes vastly outweigh the little bit of profit.
Things that should always provided at no charge to guests:

How to Use The Images Photo 1
Photo 1
(The Negro in Chicago, 1779-1929, Washington Intercollegiate Club of Chicago, Inc., 1929.)
This image appeared in The Negro in Chicago, 1779 to 1929, a 312-page compendium subtitled "the Wonder Book," which celebrated the accomplishments made at a high point of the community's development. "The Engine of Progress" accompanied a short article which lamented the fact that most African Americans had their savings invested in institutions that "generally exploit Negroes and certainly won't employ them above the level of janitor." But the Black Metropolis, with its own institutions, held hope that there was "a great future in store for the Negro in Chicago."
1) What is the central image in this drawing?
2) The buildings pictured are, clockwise from upper right, the Chicago Defender Building, the Knights of Pythias building, the Chicago Bee Building, the YWCA building, and the YMCA building. Why do you think the artist chose to include each of these buildings? (Refer to paragraphs 5, 7, and 9 of the reading.)
3) What does the artist view as the "engine of progress" for African Americans in 1929? How might it "pull" them to a better future ?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of this photo, but be aware that the entire file will take about 90 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

The Northfield volleyball team showed the potential to be one of the favorites to challenge for the TRC and sectional titles Thursday with an impressive 25-8, 25-12, 25-14 win over county rival Wabash.
The Lady Norse quickly defended home turf in game one, jumping out to a 9-2 lead. With Abigail Poole serving, the Norse jumped out to a 4-0 lead aided by a Poole ace. Lyndsie Thomas got the Apaches on the board with a kill before Holly Dyson and Kylie Echard pounded out kills to give the Norse the 9-2 lead. Arie Kennedy would record a kill from the back row as the Norse increased the lead to 13-4. At 14-7 Northfield would score five straight before another Thomas kill made it 19-8. The powerful Norse front row would go to work, as Echard would get a kill and a block that was followed by an Elaina Terrell kill for the 25-8 game one win.
Kyleigh Hampton would score the first point of game two with a kill and the Apaches would find Lyndsie Thomas for three kills as the game was tied at 5. The Norse would then catch some momentum with Tory Snyder serving. Snyder would find the open spot for two aces, while Cherish Leming connected on a kill to give Northfield a 10-5 lead. Hampton would keep the Apaches close with a kill, but at 12-8 the Norse would run again. Holly Dyson would sandwich a kill between two Echard kills as the Norse went on an 8-0 run to open a 20-8 gap. Snyder and Dyson would record kills down the stretch as Northfield went on to win game two 25-12. Kristin Cromer had a kill for Wabash.
Wabash would jump out to a 2-0 lead in game three before the Norse got hot. Terrell and Echard would get kills that ignited a 12-2 run to put Northfield up 12-4. Terrell had two aces during a 7-0 spurt during the run with Echard and Snyder getting kills. At 14-6 Wabash would make a comeback. Taylor Cain would start the comeback with a kill with Kyleigh Hampton swatting two kills as the Lady Apaches scored 5 of the next 6 points to close the gap to 15-11. The Norse would then find the hot hand, Elaina Terrell who had four kills during a 10-3 run as the Norse won game three 25-14 and the match 3-0.

a photo of it being reflective would really help, because all I can think of is that extra 1 in the price tag!
There's no denying the Dashing Tweeds Reflective Tank Top is an expensive item of cycling attire. £165 is a lot of money in anyone's book, BUT this is, after all, a truly unique and innovative piece of clothing, lovingly hand knitted on a small scale in England from pure new lamb's wool.
The really impressive bit, though, and probably another reason for the hefty price tag, is the fact that the whole shebang is reflective, thanks to special yarns being knitted in with the wool.
It's a tank top, and as such has a slightly nerdy, retro chic going on in the first place. As such, it's an item aimed squarely at the hipper cycling sort, but not falling into that category, I didn't let that put me off.
I was intrigued by its woolly/reflective qualities. Sizing wise, the small was a good size as far as breadth went, but the top could have done with being a fraction longer in the body to make it a little more stylish and practical both. As it is, the fit was a little on the boxy side, irrespective of the gender of the wearer.
Over a long sleeved top, it was surprisingly warm thanks to the wool, although, unsurprisingly offered little in the way of real wind protection. It kept my core nice and toasty though, and would be ideal for Spring, Summer or Autumn use.
The really staggering thing about this tank top was the intensity of its reflectiveness. The quantity of reflective yarn used in each garment is considerable and, under headlights, it really shows. As well as looking cool and casual in daylight, this also doubles nicely as a practical aid to being seen after dark. It's hard to argue with that, even at the price.
Unusual, lovingly made and genuinely highly reflective.

Size tested: Medium
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Aimed at hip urban cyclists. And those who like a woolly jumper after dark.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Hand knitted in England from lamb's wool and reflective yarn.
Superb quality knit and materials.
It kept me warm and it was AMAZING under headlights.
The reflective yarn seems to want to unravel itself slightly, but with care this should last a long time. It needs to be hand washed as well.
Neither heavy nor light.
Very comfortable. A little on the itchy side, but you wouldn't wear it without something underneath anyway!
Well made, from high quality materials and in the UK, but still expensive. An investment.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Performed very well as a highly visible casual cycling sweater.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
HIGH levels of reflectivity, woolliness, relaxed style, made in the UK.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Could have done with being slightly longer in the body, and the price was a bit of a wrench.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes, very much.
Would you consider buying the product? Possibly, although I'd prefer to drop hints for presents.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes, to buy for me.
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
You'll not see too many other cyclists riding about in one of these. Unusual and highly effective.

Dear $DEITY! Those are two of the most deeply unflattering pictures I've clapped minces on for many a moon. Somehow I don't think that it will persuade any viewers to spend Rapha/Assos-type funds on what resembles a shapeless woollen sack, no matter how hand-made & reflective it may be. Indeed, the only saving grace is that it lacks a content of kittens awaiting a watery fate.
I have a dashing tweeds cap and it is a most rare & beautiful thing, with an eye-catching glint of lumi-twill. Please visit their website to see more picturesque and alluring sights than what appears to be an Etsy-reject.

During the course of the Mother's Day weekend here on the Bolivar Peninsula, we met many new friends at our 26th annual Crab Festival. We also connected with many people we had met during other events, meetings following Hurricane Ike's assault on our area, and in the course of doing business week after week. It was pleasant just to be having fun and not involved in working on one project or another.
I have come to the conclusion that "down time," however one likes to spend it, is super important to overall good health, a feeling of self-worth and the pure enjoyment of life. I also fear for so many of our younger friends struggling with building a career, making a living, taking children from one event to another, getting much too little rest and trying to be involved in dozens of good causes. I am thinking that their bodies, though strong and able now, will likely wear out, and illnesses will develop because they are doing so much.
Playing around and joking with trusted friends is a part of this "down time" I am referring to, and we were able to see and participate in a good deal of this over the weekend. Ted and I worked the entrance gate for four hours on Friday night ,and there were usually streams of people coming into the festival grounds. Some we knew quite well; others we met and got to know. On Saturday afternoon, we spent three solid hours in the Chamber of Commerce's T-shirt booth selling shirts and hats and talking with friends who came by to visit. We were situated near the main stage and could keep up with the events taking place there — and hear the music.
Only two sad things marred an otherwise great weekend and it did not have to do with receiving or not receiving particular Mother's Day gifts. A man who I honestly believe was trying to be humorous went a little too far, in my opinion, and the sad thing is, he did it in writing where hundreds of folks could chime in and tell him what they thought.It was reported that on Saturday morning, two people were driving on the beach near High Island on the peninsula in a black truck. The truck came to a stop and a shot rang out where beach goers could hear it clearly. When the first two ladies arrived at the truck, the male driver jumped out and said that his wife had pulled a handgun from under the seat and shot herself in the head. He claimed not to know she had the gun in the vehicle and claimed not to know why she would want to shoot herself on Mother's Day weekend. She was later pronounced dead at the scene. A report from the Chambers County Sheriff's Department said that the male driver was arrested for outstanding warrants and taken to jail.
Several different rumors immediately swirled around the sad story. Some automatically decided that they believed the woman did not shoot herself, but that the husband or the partner had done it. Others said that she was probably depressed over the Mother's Day weekend because she had children she would not see. Others said that no mother would ever kill herself on such a holiday. Several folks commented that when one is so sad that they are contemplating suicide, rational thoughts are long gone. For whatever reason, suicide or murder, both are sad.
Truthfully, we do not know what caused the shooting or who pulled the trigger. The investigation is still underway. The entire event struck me as very sad because of the location, the desperation, the death, and the hurt and harm it will cause to loved ones of both parties. And it happened just a few miles from where a great crowd of family members and friends were having such a good time visiting, eating, buying from the craft booths and listening to the music provided on the main stage of the Crab Festival.One man writing on one of the Yahoo Group Sites following the accident said what he thought about the circumstances, though he knew no more and probably less than most readers did about it, but then he chose to add what many have called the final blow. He said he could never commit suicide because he would be leaving his "damaged goods" (referring to his wife of many years) for someone else to take care of after he was gone. He went on to say that he and his wife had four children and "what man would want to take on damaged goods and four kids to raise?"
The older I get, the less frequently my hackles rise, but reading this, I was angered. What man in his right mind would call his own wife "damaged goods" in print on Mother's Day mind would call his own wife "damaged goods" in print on Mother's Day weekend simply because she had born him four children. Thank God there are hundreds of good men who do not feel this way about a woman with children. My step-dad would have fallen into this category, and I know this to be a fact because I was fortunate enough to marry one.
In only minutes after the original post was read, people began to respond and I am so pleased to note that many of the most angry responses came from men. One man wrote and said, "What kind of remark is that when you are speaking about someone you promised to love and nurture and care for all the days of your life?" Another wrote to say that the comment could bring nothing positive and had to be hurtful. A kind woman wrote to say that the father she loved dearly did not think like this man. He married her young mother when she was alone with four children to rear and that he had been the guiding force of their life. Only one person wrote to say he was probably just kidding.Even if he were kidding, or trying desperately to be very funny, he missed the mark and was not humorous a bit, in my opinion. His wife had to feel the pang and sting of the remark. I thought of several verses of Scripture and wondered how much home training this man had ever had.
Reading in the Book of Proverbs, there are two verses, one following the other, that address this issue. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord" (Proverbs 18:21, 22). We must learn to be cautious with our words and not use them in silliness, in and effort to be thought funny, or to hurt and harm.

With wxWidgets, the wxString class is very similar to the STL string class, but the STL does not include a Format function as does wxString.
As you may know, you can say
wxString str = wxString::Format ("%s %i", "whatever", 12345);
and the variable str will be formatted like in C using sprintf
sprintf (buffer, "%s %i", "whatever", 12345);
Is there a Format() function in the STL for strings or something similar? Right now I use standard C strings rather than the STL because this very reason (I want to go to STL, but this is the only drawback). I know I could use osstringstream to get similar functionality, but I would rather use a C approach.
Any ideas?

Welcome to Belmont, North Carolina, a lovely, small suburb in Gaston County. There is no way around it, the landscape here is simply picturesque. Belmont is incredibly green and beautiful with its gorgeous hills, mountains, and rivers. The city is perched on a peninsula formed by two rivers, the Catawba River and the South Fork River. The rivers feed into the man-made Lake Wylie, 30 miles away.
Before searching for your new place, check out our apartment guide for tips and tricks on finding the best new place for you. Visit our handy dandy Local Talk section to get in insider's look at life in Belmont. Are you wondering how long the commute will take to Charlotte? Or maybe you'd like to know where the best school is for your second grader? Or the best dog park? No problem. Just use our "Ask a Question" feature and your questions shall be answered. Yes, it's true. By an actual person, a real local expert. Once you are outta questions, head to our apartment finder to find your new place.
Are you looking for a place in a building with all the amenities? Or maybe you need something with extra storage space for your extensive collection of figurines? (We're not judging.) Whatever it is that you're looking for in this North Carolina suburb, you'll find the best deal on our apartment finder. Check out the table above to get an idea of the average cost of a one or two bedroom. Rentals here are fairly reasonable considering the cost of living in the surrounding areas. Finding your new apartment in Belmont will not be nearly as painful as your last dentist visit. We promise.
One of the great things about Belmont is its close proximity to the largest city in North Carolina: Charlotte. Just like any major city, the cost of living in Charlotte is high. For those working in Charlotte, this is a great alternative to paying those high living costs. It's a fairly easy commute to Charlotte even for those taking public transportation. Apart from the whole cost factor (which yes, is a biggie), if you'd like to come home to a smaller, more peaceful environment after working in the big city, Belmont is a great place for it.
Charlotte is not just for commuters. Living this close to such a big city means that you can take advantage of all that it has to offer without paying those high price tags for an apartment. For those yearning for a shot of culture, catch the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, the Opera Carolina, or a musical at the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. If you're looking for some art to stare at, visit the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, the McColl Center for Visual Art, or the Mint Museum of Art. NASCAR fans can check out the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The options for dining out and partying in the Charlotte nightlife are endless, and with your short commute, you can easily take advantage.
There are plenty of opportunities for fun in your new city. For one thing, Belmont celebrates throughout the year with festivals! And who doesn't like a good festival? These folks have some pretty awesome festivals, like Garibaldi Fest (sounds awesome), Summer Celebration, Belmont Fall Festival, Halloween Bash (supposedly has moon bounces!), Concert in the park series, and Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt. Wow!
If festivals aren't your thing, maybe you prefer a more quiet, contemplative way to distress? Find your apartment and you can visit what HGTV named one of the country's "20 Great Gardens" and USA Today called one of the top ten places to "welcome fall with a flourish." Sound enticing? Heck yeah. The Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is a 450-acre garden that will satisfy even the blackest of thumbs. Walk through its gorgeous green meadows and reflect on your life as you gaze into a sparkling, trickling fountain. But not for too long. That would be weird. Or, get steamy with a loved one as you peruse the fertile orchids in the orchid conservatory. The Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is certainly worth a visit.
The city is home to two colleges. Belmont Abbey College, a private liberal arts college, and Gaston Community College. Belmont Abbey College was founded in 1913 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a private liberal arts college that is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church.
Find your apartment in this great city and join almost 9,000 residents who enjoy its quiet neighborhoods, historic downtown area, sweet decorative brick sidewalks and planters, and old fashioned iron lampposts.
Has the time come for you to get out of the dorm and move into an off campus BAC apartment? Perhaps the options available from the Belmont Abbey College housing office no longer meet your needs and you would like to find a cheap apartment close to the BAC campus. If so, you can search for off campus Belmont Abbey College apartments with MyNewPlace's college housing search.
Although Belmont Abbey College student housing may be very conveniently close to campus, moving to an off campus apartment can be a great way to save money, put some distance in between yourself and an RA, get accustomed to living in your own apartment and building up rental history.
BAC apartments for rent are available close to campus and in other neighborhoods around Belmont, NORTH CAROLINA. Using our map based university apartment finder, you can find off campus housing near campus to ensure you can still get to all the BAC Crusaders games and make it to class on time.
We can help you find off campus BAC apartments that will best suit your collegiate lifestyle; search Belmont Abbey College apartments by the number of bedrooms, price, neighborhood or a range of other amenities.

Toro Y Moi
Anything In Return - CARPARK
FILTER Grade: 85%
By Zachary Sniderman; photo by Andrew Paynter on January 22, 2013
Chaz Bundick, the hero and creative mind behind Toro Y Moi, has said over and over again that he just wants to make good pop music. Anyone who has heard his blissed-out, funk-based beats realizes that pipe dream might be a little ways off. It's probably unnecessary to mention here that Anything in Return, Bundick's third record as Toro Y Moi, isn't quite "California Gurls." Musically, though, it's the very best thing Toro Y Moi has accomplished, with complex rhythms and attentive, near-perfect production—distinct essentials that have prevented all of Bundick's tunes from fading into blips of obscurity.
In 2010, Toro Y Moi released Causers of This, a debut record that launched a thousand chillwaves alongside the likes of Washed Out's Life of Leisure EP and Neon Indian's Psychic Chasms. Bundick addressed the curious genre he had unwittingly joined in an immediate follow-up 13 months later, the live and textural Underneath the Pine. Meanwhile, he has made friends with Tyler, The Creator; remixed both Washed Out and Neon Indian; put out a joint EP with Cloud Nothings; repped Tame Impala and created side projects from the club-bouncing Les Sins to the experimental Sides of Chaz. It's good to be busy, but this level of reach and curiosity makes it tricky to keep it simple, stupid. It's clear that Bundick is either too distracted or too smart to "just make a pop album."
On Anything in Return, any four-on-the-floor beat has a twist. Any lyrics on love come out angular and mysterious. "High Living" is a slow vamp of chirping synths and bouncing bass. "Never Matter" pops like a bottle of Perrier, the instruments bubbling over a tight snare and round bass groove. The last, delayed stab of synth at the four-minute mark here shows Bundick's mastery and control of pacing and dynamics. "Cola," one of the record's best, borrows heavily from '80s funk but with stuttering drums and the looping, indistinctly breathy vocal samples that have become the artist's signature sound. But with lyrics like "I wish I could be there/See you every day/I don't have to call you," the song—like much of Anything in Return—recalls the nostalgic melancholy of Underneath the Pine and reaches out toward the fundamental dynamics of the genre Bundick so studiously wishes to master.
Underneath the Pine came to us in 2011 shrouded in death due to the then-recent passing of a close friend of Bundick's. It was live and raw, and demonstrated Bundick coming to terms not just with mortality but the suburban struggle of living at home and the necessity of growing up. Even though Anything in Return musically builds tremendously on the high standard set by Underneath the Pine, it's a step back lyrically. The album is indistinctly about love (a pop music plus, natch) but lacks a narrative touchstone or an easy way to connect with Bundick. Successful pop music relies on easy access points, a connection, and on Anything on Return, it's undeniably the dancefloor rather than the words Bundick weaves, which are most effective as musical texture.
As to influences, Anything in Return is an expert, myriad blend of subterranean retro designed to please fans of sampling, funk, jazz, chillwave (yes, chillwave), synth rock, shoegaze and a number of other journalist-created terms for the new and nebulous genre that Bundick has helped create, foster and push the limits of. Anything in Return is the most blatantly old school of Toro Y Moi's records. Where Causers of This was a sample-heavy start and Underneath the Pine was a live experiment gone right, Anything in Return is an homage to Bundick's musical heroes. Sometimes this formula skirts a fine line between acid jazz ("Harm in Change," "So Many Details") and other times it gels into something more, like on lead single "Say That."
So where does that leave the album? A little unbalanced, Anything in Return nevertheless showcases again just how good its maker is at his craft. Pop music this certainly is not, but Bundick's talents at furthering an ever-adapting genre into something far more interesting are plenty satisfying.

Scott Brown understands that the Burger King is just a restaurant name, right — not an actual person? And when he sneaks off to the Dairy Queen for an Oreo Blizzard, that doesn't actually count as a secret meeting with royalty?
Be worried about Senator Brown. Be very worried. It looks like he's becoming delusional, starting to believe — and worse, trying to convince others — that he's far more important than any junior senator has ever been.
Remember that embarrassing episode last spring, after Osama bin Laden was shot dead and the Obama administration didn't want to display the photographs of the corpse in fear of inciting riots in the Arab world?
While every basement-dwelling conspiracy theorist in the country screamed that bin Laden was still alive, Scott Brown told a television reporter, "Listen, I've seen the picture. He's definitely dead."
Ends up, there were no photographs. Maybe Brown looked at some hoax on the Internet and thought it was real.
Then we have Thursday, when Brown said on the Eagan and Braude show on WTKK-FM, "Each and every day that I've been a United States senator, I've been discussing issues, meeting on issues, in secret meetings and with kings and queens and prime ministers and business leaders and military leaders, talking, voting, working on issues every single day."
Problem is, of course, he hasn't met with kings and queens, not openly, not secretly, and the assertion is patently absurd in a fairy tale kind of way. His spokesman admitted as much by Thursday afternoon. Maybe Brown saw pictures of Kate Middleton in People magazine and got confused.
It is the oddest of contrasts. On the one hand, Brown diminishes the job he holds with those ridiculous television ads that feature him doing housework and fawning over his wife. He also aired a video last week that was summed up in a campaign press release that read as follows: "Ayla and Arianna share some of their favorite Father's Day memories growing up, including giving their dad homemade coupons with no expiration dates that he still occasionally tries to redeem."
No, really.
On the other hand, he's telling us he's the most important man in Washington, his schedule jam packed with double-secret briefings and private lunches with monarchs.
Wouldn't it be better if it were the other way around, a guy who campaigned on larger ideals, but modestly played down his role in the world?
Before his Buckingham moment, Brown had been having a very good week. He accepted the Kennedy Institute debate with the caveat that Vicki Kennedy stay neutral in the race — a clever and perfectly reasonable demand. Democrats kicked, screamed, and refused; Brown won. He looked even smarter when he accepted the Boston media consortium debate, guaranteeing at least three primetime televised forums during the autumn campaign.
He is by most measures an affable and bipartisan presence in a business that lacks much of either trait these days, and for that, there's a desire to like him.
But time and again, there are hints of inauthenticity about Brown. He plays the Everyman card while raising buckets of money in New York. He describes his role in the body politic that doesn't gel with reality. He campaigns as a sitting senator on issues and attributes irrelevant to the job.
Voters know what's real. The question will come into sharper focus in the coming months: Does Scott Brown?

Grains sold off from what appears to be liquidation while New York is shut down from the hurricane. December corn closed ¾ of a cent lower at $7.37, November soybeans down 34 cents at $15.27 ¼, and December wheat down 5 ¾ cents at $8.58.
The Stock Market, Nymex floor, and equity futures at the CME were all shut down today due to Hurricane Sandy. The economic repercussions of the storm may have been enough to force a "risk-off" trading session in other markets as we saw crude oil and grains lower while "flight-to-quality-assets" like the US Dollar and Treasuries were higher.
The USDA was shut down today as well but they still managed to release the Export Inspections Report at 10:00 am. Soybeans were well above expectations again at 63.35 million bushels. Corn was at 15.51 million and wheat was at 9.70 million. Even though this was friendly to soybeans they still led the CBOT markets lower. Northern Brazil is expected to get some much needed rains to help with their recent dry spell, but this isn't a major market moving change in my opinion. The USDA apparently wasn't able to release the Crop Progress Report in the afternoon. We will notify you if that comes tomorrow afternoon.
Safras is estimating Brazilian soy planting at 28% complete compared to the 5 year average of 24 percent. The Argentine Ag Minister is estimating their corn acres to be 40% planted which compares to 55% at this time last year. In fact this is their slowest planting pace at this time of year in more than 15 years. Currently the USDA is estimating Argentine corn production at 28 MMTs which is about 3.34% of total expected world production this year.
As of Monday October 29th the average price of December corn in Oct has been $7.50 ¼. The average price of November soybeans has been $15.39. We are through 21 of the 23 business days which decide the harvest price for insurance, which basically means we can't significantly change this price from here. With the fall crop insurance price set and your yields basically known it is time to re-evaluate hedge levels to see how to protect downside risk going into the winter. Please contact an EHedger broker to see how we can help you develop a strategy to finish out 2012 and look forward to the 2013 crop year. Phone: (866) 433-4371. Have a great week!

Islam in Sight – Yet Still in the Distance
The collection of essays deals with the fact that Islam currently enjoys an increased visibility in the public sphere, primarily in the form of mosques, headscarves, Islamic cultural associations, etc. The goal of the book is to understandably account for the greater visibility of Islam by analysing the transfer of Islamic practices and symbols to the public realm.
The authors refer to this phenomena as the "second phase of Islamism," which initially sounds confusing, as Islamism is usually associated with radical political groups and movements. However, these activities, claim the authors, are characteristic of the "first phase of Islamism."
Beginning in the 1990s, a new set of Muslim actors appeared on the stage – intellectuals, businessmen, and young people. Their demands were not aimed against the system, but rather they sought to gain access to participation in public life.
The naturally innate category of "Muslim" gave rise to that of the "Islamist," which refers to those who consciously choose the different lifestyle offered by Islam, all the while accepting modernity.
No uniform Islamic identity
The stance of the Islamist is not merely that of quiet acceptance. Recourse to Islam offers a positioning and an "oppositional empowerment" in the modern world. As a result, Islam penetrates deeply into the social structures of everyday life, in contrast to radical demands posed by first phase Islamists, who stood outside of the system. This doesn't mean, however, that the current demands for participation are any less political.
The emerging and lived "Islams" are so multifarious and hybrid that they resist a collective description that points to a uniform Islamic identity.
In order to clearly present these multifarious Islamistic identities and the mechanisms involved, the editors have divided the anthology into three parts. The first chapters of the book offer basic interpretations on Islamism and modernity (Nilüfer Göle), on the public sphere in the singular and plural senses (Christian Geulen), and on the relationship between private and public in Islam (Ludwig Amman).
The heart of the book consists of case studies from the secular Republic of Turkey, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and pluralistic Europe. The predominantly empirical studies aim to elucidate the nature of public and corporeal manifestation of Islamic symbols.
Three chapters – meant to be taken as an overview – complete the book. Shmuel N. Eisenstadt depicts the role of the public in Islamic history, Simonetta Tabboni refers to the interplay between identity and alterity, and Charles Taylor illuminates the role played by religion in the struggle for identity in modernity.
Belief offers orientation
The complexity and density of the issues facing the team of authors hereby becomes apparent. In order not to remain at a merely general level of discussion, one aspect from the case studies had to be picked out that concerned living together with Muslims within a European context.
The contributions offer precise accounts of how belief provides orientation and self-confidence, serving as a "springboard to the non-Islamic majority society."
For those stigmatized by epithets such as "Turk" and regarded by society as inferior, religion plays a decisive role in "transforming a stigma into a source of self-empowerment" and a means to act assertively.
The turn to Islam is a way of coming to terms with experiences as a stigmatized minority in a majority society. The function of religion in this respect is in no way fixed, but rather is defined anew according to the specific situation in order to best come to terms with everyday life.
The need for "equality"
Against this background, Islamic cultural associations fulfill various functions. They serve as a meeting place, where young people can get together and exchange experiences on the daily challenges posed by the majority society.
The development of a feeling of solidarity endows individuals with inner strength on the one hand and, on the other, enables the person to articulate interests and needs out in the open, in public. This maxim holds true even for secular organizations.
The demands of Muslims for recognition thereby follow the logic of equality along with other sections of the majority society. As a result, Islamic religious communities form, just as do all religions, on the basis of confessional differences.
Islamic cultural associations offer an alternative sphere, which mediates between the personal and the public worlds, and thereby empowers members not only to act towards achieving religious demands, but also in terms of a wider civil engagement.
In sight or further off in the distance?
At this point, a critical question must be asked. What happens when alternative spheres turn into spheres of opposition? What if the main concern is not integration, but rather demarcation and superiority?
It is desirable that when Muslims achieve visibility, they are also accessible through their public demands. What happens, however, when their aim is to exclude themselves from the majority society, with the effect that Muslims are pushed further off in the distance?
In my opinion, the mere recognition of difference conceals the fundamental problem of asymmetry, the struggle for supremacy within a cultural sphere. The article by Guelen is the only one to raise this issue, and it questions whether the model of symmetrical recognition of various positions is a meaningful possible solution or if other approaches must be found in order to establish true co-existence within a society.
Majority society questioned
The question posed above is not asked by the team of authors, who nonetheless owe their readers an answer. What they do work out in a detailed and precise manner, however, is a final farewell to the nightmare image of Islam.
Islam is presented as a source to cope with everyday life and a means of orientation in a majority society. It appears in various facets, especially in the public sphere.
On this basis, Nilüfer Göle formulates the central hypothesis. "The public visibility of Islam and the specific practices underpinning this [...] trigger new ways of imagining a collective self and a common space that are distinct from the Western liberal self and progressive politics."
The finger points in the direction of the majority society. National principles of consensus are destabilized and questioned to the degree to which Muslims and Islamists, respectively, are empowered to act by turning to Islam. The majority society is challenged to come up with a new way to relate to minorities and then integrate this into its concept of modernity.
The fear of a monolithic Islam has proved to be of no help. This collection of essays provides a first intensive examination of the "various Islams."

Muslims in France
Fighting Symptoms Instead of Finding Real Solutions
It's with a mixture of indifference and helplessness that the non-Muslim majority approaches the problems of the marginalised young Muslims in the suburbs or the public presence of orthodox Islam in society, writes Jürgen Ritte.
The Headscarf Debate
West and the Islamic world alike, the headscarf is the subject of heated discussions. We take a closer look at various aspects of the debate and highlight its background and social reality.


text: bonesiii Report post Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Welcome to the first-ever General Art contest since this forum changed to a LEGO-in-general focus, and the 18th contest total! This contest's theme is LEGO Battlescapes.What is a battlescape?Well, use your imagination! It can be a vast landscape with thousands of warriors, or it could be two opponents only with a backdrop (like the banner above). It could be Bionicle, Ninjago, perhaps LEGO Universe against the Maelstrom, Hero Factory, maybe real-world-like -- whatever you want! It could fit with canon or be purely made-up. It could even be a fusion of styles, like System plus Technic. You decide!Categories for this contest will NOT be decided ahead of time. I will decide them for the polls based on how many entries of what kinds we get.Plus, there's a twist -- you get to enter more than one image! Up to three per member. See rules below for the limitations.Entry period begins now; ends on Tuesday May 15, at 11:59 PM EST.(This is the updated, final closing time after two extensions.)Rules:1) All entries must qualify under General Art rules (so no comics or animations). See this forum's rules for more detail.2) Must depict a battle of some kind; a fight between at least two opponents.3) Must include the setting for the battle.4) Must be LEGO-based.5) Each entry must use the entry form below.6) Each member can only enter up to three images.7) You may only have one entry per post (polls will link to posts, so this way it'll be clear which image each link refers to).NOTE: I give permission to double-post after a period of at least three hours if nobody else has posted so that your entries are in individual posts. This exemption only applies to separate entry posts; if you merely want to add a question or make a comment, edit your existing post or wait until someone else posts.8) Each member can only win with one image. Tiebreakers and similar methods will be used as needed.9) Prizes will be determined at a later date. Only the first place category winners are guaranteed prizes, but I will note second and third place winners in the contest archive.10) Prizes may involve mailing, so do not enter unless you are willing to divulge mailing details to BZPower staff (but do not give that out publicly).11) Do not rely on massive filesizes. The entry image you direct-link (display in-post) can only be 500 KB or less in filesize as per BZPower rules, though you may make that a link to a larger version of it that would show detail better (see entry form for more).NOTE: If you are displaying a smaller image to fit in the 500 KB limit, this MUST be a scaled-down version of the entire image, not a cropped portion of the full image.12) You are encouraged to include a thumbnail image that is no larger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels in size, for the polls. You can use cropping, scaling, or both for this, but it must represent your image. If you do not include one, one will be made for you and you might not like it.If anyone needs help resizing images, you may ask for it here or by PMing me (you may link to the large images here before officially entering them in such cases; just don't use the entry form until you have an image small enough).13) Please do not enter the image until you are satisfied it is finished. You may change images minorly (for example, coloring a pencil sketch), but it's best to simply wait and post it closer to the entry period's end. You must notify me of all changes and I reserve the right to deny any change if I think it's too much.NOTE: Likewise if an image you entered violates the rules you may switch it for a qualifying one, but again you must notify me.14) Entries must be appropriate for young children. I reserve the right to disqualify any image I feel crosses the line, and if you are unsure if something is okay, please PM it to me instead of posting.Obviously the issues of violence and physical damage are likely to come up in this one; my general guideline is to use the same rules LEGO used in canon Bionicle, which was basically that any acrobatics and weaponry in battle are fair game, as long as no organic damage is shown. I'll make one part simple -- NO blood allowed, but armor damage and "deconstruction" (as in 2001 Toa canisters or minifigures "smashed") should be fine.15) All art must be new (as in not shown on BZP before).16) No flaming, spamming, impatience-posts, PM advertising, etc. Use common sense as always on BZPower.17) Discussion, questions, and comments about the contest are, yes, are allowed here in the entry topic, in addition to entry posts.18) This contest is open to all BZPower members, staff, and contest assistant(s) (except me).If anyone would like to volunteer to help me keep the entry list up to date, you would be who I mean by contest assistant(s). I'll put the entry list at the end of this post, and an assistant could PM me the formatted links for additions to it. (Probably one need one assistant, and that would be less confusing anyways.) Format will be "member's name: entry title" (if titled) as link to post, "thumbnail" link (include even if none provided so one can be added easily), "topic" link (if provided), art medium, LEGO type/genre.Edit: Thanks to Eeko and Bulik for volunteering as assistants. No need for more at this time.19) I reserve the right to edit any and all posts, if I spot a problem in them I can fix with no need to consult the poster, especially format problems.20) If you are unsure about anything and don't wish to publicly reveal your plans, please feel free to PM me your question.ENTRY FORM:Entry title: [this line is optional]Member name: [use the name you want permanently on record][img=UNDER500KBPICURL][url=THUMBURL]Thumbnail[/url]Art medium: [describe briefly if it's hand-drawn, computer art, a mixture of both, sculpture, etc.]Other links: [optional; link development images, and/or a topic for your entry]Artist comments: [Very briefly explain what the image is about.]Replace "UNDER500KBPICURL" with your entry image, or a scaled down version of it. This should be the ONLY directly-linked (displayed in-post) image in your entry form. All others should be linked to.Replace "THUMBURL" with your thumbnail image (optional; remove that line if you're not doing it).If you wish to make the main image a link to a larger version, replace the img tag line with this:Click for fullsize:[url=LARGEPICURL][img=UNDER500KBPICURL][/url]And replace "LARGEPICURL" with the larger version of the entry image.Entry List:[...] Edited May 6, 2012 by bonesiii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our Petite Red plants allow you to enjoy amazing tropical blooms in the first year or so. All the Alpinia Ginger we offer are vegetatively propagated from healthy flowering mother stock, grown right here in our nursery. This means, you receive an exact clone, true in form and bloom and won't have to wait years to enjoy fresh tropical flowers, as is often the case with seed grown or tissue culture plants. Truly a better plant!
The growth rate of Petite Red will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors. A few leaves are often trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.
When you receive your new Alpinia Ginger, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a 1/2 inch of water in the bottom and moving it to a shady location, simply keep moist. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Alpinia Ginger.

DAYTON, Ohio -- The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Ohio is ready to launch a mock-up space shuttle exhibit assembled after a failed bid to get a retiring shuttle several years ago.
The Dayton Daily News reports the walk-through exhibit opens Feb. 26 and will give visitors a peek at a cockpit and a cargo bay.
Museum aerospace educator Cindy Henry says the display built around a cockpit simulator is the size of a real shuttle.
The NASA space shuttle trainer acquired by the museum in 2012 was used by astronauts to prepare for shuttle missions.
The mock-up includes an engine and tail section and a payload bay with a satellite.
It's expected to be part of a sprawling hangar gallery slated to open in 2016.

Okay guys here is a real simple tutorial on "how to draw a marshmallow", step by step. I know I already submitted a lesson on marshmallows, but here is just a single fluffy ball of sugar that you can draw too. This is, as you can see a very simple drawing, which means you will have absolutely no problems with making your own. You can add some decorations to the finished character face, or you can leave it as a plain old marshmallow with no expression at all. Anyways, that's about it, I mean what else can you really talk about with the topic being a marshmallow. As always I will be back in a bit so try and stay tuned in to see what else I have for ya'll.

Good God in heaven. This isn't rock'n'roll: this is brick-shitting insanity! The six bands enclosed in this CD showcase of medical curiosities (courtesy of Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation) are all very, very wrong indeed. It's fortunate, then, that they're also rather fine specimens of musical absurdity and that the six of them together make for that rare thing: a compilation CD where you don't need to skip any tracks. Come, let me show you...
The Special Agents are a B-Movie soundtrack of a band, the kind of people who clearly miss out on a lot (an unwise amount?) of sleep in order to stay up and watch such long-lost classics as My Toaster Ate My Brains or The Return Of The Revenge Of The Bride Of Frankenstein's Hamster From Beyond The Grave. Their songs start with thunderclaps, replace the vocals with high-gibbering and sound like they were lifted from Benny Hill: The Bloodlust Years.. Or possibly from a skater-movie made by strange betentacled creatures from Uranus. Needless to say it is a work of genius and I would offer to bear their children were it not for the fact that I'd be very worried about what I might get.
Possibly something like the members of Chuck, who are clearly an odd lot. I can hear every word they sing, and I'm still not sure what they're going on about. I suspect that this is a tactical move stemming from a quite reasonable fear that if anyone ever did interpret Chuck's Cramps-esque hillbilly rock 'n' roll warbling senselessness, they'd have them locked up. Which'd be a shame. However: despair not! For we'd still have Texas Pete to twang their guitars in an obscene manner which reeks of incest and illegal distilleries. Were any of the superheroes mentioned in their Superhero Stomp to hear said distressing ditty, they'd be driven by guilt of association to hang up their cloaks and take up knitting.
G.G. Action have clearly never needed superheroes: it's obvious from the first punk-synth-distortion chord that any of the band members could take Lex Luther with one hand tied behind her back. Their screaming Headcoatees-style sound is very loud and very fast, the sythns make it sound like it's about to take off, and the whole effect is very, very pleasing indeed. G.G. Action sound like a Damaged Goods band, and anyone who can claim that is alright by me.
Beachbuggy play trashy garage rock about cars and deathrays: the Stooges' crash-thrash-howl mixed with the quirky shouting of the Pixies. It ain't big and it ain't clever, but it sure does hit the spot. You know: the trash-death-swagger-grind-howlofwretchedfeedback spot? Unlike The Motherfuckers, who are clearly far too twisted to be trusted to hit anything with accuracy. They sing in a cheesegrating hillbilly rasp over music which sounds like the dead members of The New York Dolls and Guns'N'Roses, newly-resurrected and half-decayed, have joined forces with the Cramps and are playing in a flooded amusement arcade. They want you to dance, and I for one wouldn't dare refuse - but I'd make sure I remained on guard against stray band members creeping up behind me with a blunt instrument in their hands and their eye on my wallet. If they went anywhere near my mother, she'd brain 'em with a frying pan.
Well, there you have it. I don't know what the hell they put in the water in Sheffield, but I want some.

Adobe Photoshop Express (Beta)
Adobe Photoshop Express brings the industry-leading photo-editing app to the Web. Well, it brings the name, anyhow. What Adobe currently offers is a free Web site that provides users with 2GB of storage space, some very good image-editing capabilities, and rudimentary facilities for sharing photos. For the moment, there's no ability to print photos or create items like photo books and posters. The site excels at editing images already uploaded to partner sites like Facebook, Photobucket, and Picasa. Photoshop Express proves that the concept of Web-based, flash-driven software as a service (SaaS) works. It also demonstrates how much user interfaces improve when designers start with a blank slate.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass.- Behind a career-high 32 points from senior guard Gabriel Moton (St. Petersburg, Fla./St. Petersburg), the Brandeis University men's basketball team rallied from a large first half deficit to hold on for a 96-90 win at the UMass-Dartmouth Corsairs. The Judges improve to 2-0 while the Corsairs fall to 2-1.
In the first half, UMass was led by an outburst of scoring from junior guard Jake Laga (Northampton, Mass./Northampton) who put up 20 points in the period. Laga netted 12 consecutive points during an 18-4 stretch that helped the Corsairs open up a 30-16 lead with 7:22 to go in the period. Still, Moton was not to be outdone as he brought the Judges back and poured in 21 points of his own in the first 20 minutes. Moton scored 20 of his 21 first half points after that 7:22 mark, including 15 consecutive points for Brandeis, to lead the Judges on a 29-9 run that put the Judges up 45-39 headed into the break.
In the second half, it was Brandeis who tried to pull away, building their largest lead of the contest after a lay-up by senior center Youri Dascy (Fall River, Mass./St. Andrew's School (R.I.)) made it 64-49 with 13:55 on the clock. Still, UMass would not go down easily and began chipping into the lead. The Corsairs drew as close as four points twice. With 5:02 to play, sophomore guard Abi Akanni (Fitchburg, Mass./Fitchburg) drained a shot from beyond the arc to make it 74-70. The Judges reeled off five quick points to relieve some of the pressure. Then, at the 1:12 mark, Laga sunk a jumper that brought UMass within 87-83. Clutch trips to the charity stripe by Moton, and senior captains Ben Bartoldus (Hillsborough, N.H./Proctor Acad. (N.H.)) and Derek Retos (No. Attleboro, Mass./Brimmer and May School) helped seal the 96-90 victory for Brandies.
The Judges were led by Moton's career-high 32 points that came on 10-for-14 shooting from the field and an 11-for-14 mark at the free throw line while pulling down five rebounds and recording a team-high four assists. Three other starters joined Moton in double-digits as Bartoldus netted 17 while senior forward Alex Stoyle (Goffstown, N.H./Tilton School) and rookie guard Robinson Vilmont (Cambridge, Mass./Wilbraham and Monson Acad.) added 13 apiece. Vilmont also had a team-high eight caroms.
The Corsairs were led by Laga who poured in a game-high 33 points on 11-for-15 shooting including 6-for-7 from beyond the arc and a perfect 5-for-5 from the line. He was joined in double-digits by Akanni who added 16 points on an efficient 7-for-10 night from the floor. Sophomore forward Wale Abraham (Lynn, Mass./Lynn Classical) pulled down a squad-leading seven rebounds while Laga also had a game-high five helpers.
Brandeis continues their season back at Red Auerbach Arena on Thursday November 21st with a 7:00 p.m. tip-off against Framingham State. UMass heads out to Salem State on Saturday November 23rd with a 2:00 p.m. start.

Subscribe To A Good Day To Die Hard Expected To Top This Weekend's Box Office Updates
I've already subscribed
Critics are being absolutely unmerciful towards the latest installment of the Die Hard franchise, John Moore's A Good Day To Die Hard, but it seems that once again audiences couldn't care less. The midnight numbers for the new action flick are out, and it looks as though the movie is going to have a pretty good Valentine's Day weekend.
Deadline has posted the statistics for A Good Day To Die Hard's first night in theaters and report that the film has already pulled in $840K and is expected to finish the weekend with between $10 and $11 million, just squeaking by the new Nicholas Sparks adaptation, which is predicted to make between $9 and $10 million by Sunday. Despite not being a new release, Seth Gordon's Identity Thief is also holding strong, and is expected to place third overall after owning the box office and its competition in its first week.
But while both the new Die Hard and Safe Haven are doing well, the same can't be said for the other title that was brought to theaters last night: Richard LaGravenese's Beautiful Creatures. Despite being based on a popular novel and featuring a great cast that includes Emma Thompson, Jeremy Irons, Emmy Rossum, and Viola Davis, the film appears to be under-performing at the box office and isn't expected to open higher than number five on the top 10 come Sunday with a take of only $3 to 4 million.
These numbers mean two very different things for two very different franchises. Critics may wish that Hollywood will stop producing John McClane movies, this kind of success always leads to another sequel. Meanwhile, fans can probably erase any hope that Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's next book in their YA series, Beautiful Darkness, will be getting an adaptation too. But that's all just the nature of the business.

Reports: 77 dead, 141 hurt when Spanish train derails
A high-speed train that derailed on a curve Wednesday night in northwestern Spain has killed at least 77 passengers and injured 141 others, reports said.
Officials said initially that the crash, which occurred on the eve of a local Christian festival, appeared to be an accident, not terrorism. In 2004, Islamists blew up trains in Madrid, killing 191 and wounding hundreds.
The express train, carrying 218 people between Madrid and Ferrol, left the tracks at 8:42 p.m. (2:42 p.m. ET) about two miles from the station at Santiago de Compostela, in the Galician region, said the government-owned railway, Renfe. The number of crewmembers was not released.
All 13 carriages derailed, and four overturned, the BBC reported. TV images showed one car torn apart, another on fire and blanket-covered bodies beside the ruined carriages.
"A lot of people were squashed on the bottom. We tried to squeeze out of the bottom of the wagons to get out and we realized the train was burning," passenger Ricardo Montesco told radio station Cadena SER. "I was in the second wagon and there was fire. I saw corpses."
"There are bodies lying on the railway track. It's a Dante-esque scene," Nunez told SER, the AFP news agency reported.
Nunez said it was too soon to say what caused the accident.
CNN said an aide to the prime minister indicated that terrorism was not likely.
Photographer Xabier Martinez told the Associated Press that two injured passengers told him they felt a strong vibration before the train jumped the track.
A witness told Cadena SER she heard a loud explosion just before the train derailed, Reuters reported. That claim has not been confirmed.
Festivities were planned Thursday in Santiago de Compostola to celebrate St James, one of Jesus's 12 apostles whose remains are claimed to buried there. Officials said many of the travelers likely were pilgrims headed to the city, about 60 miles south of Ferrol. Officials canceled the festivities.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy Brey, who was born in Santiago de Compostola, convened an emergency ministerial meeting late Wednesday, the BBC said. He plans to visit the accident scene Thursday morning.
"I want to express my affection and solidarity with the victims of the terrible train accident in Santiago," Rajoy tweeted.
Two weeks ago in France, six people died when several cars of a train packed ahead of the Bastille Day holiday derailed in a station outside Paris. Officials blamed a faulty track connector.

What a difference a year truly makes.
Saturday night at the University Center on the campus of Mercer University the Lady Bisons fell 3-0 to arch-rival Belmont in the championship match of the Atlantic Sun Tournament. Last season it was the Lady Bisons who were celebrating their championship on the University Center floor.
In the wake of the loss, Lipscomb coach Brandon Rosenthal chose to look ahead. He has no doubts that his team will return to the tournament for a fifth straight time in 2009.
"I'm proud of my players and I am proud of this season," said Lipscomb coach Brandon Rosenthal. "After a couple of weeks after this has had time to sink in it will be a good learning experience.
"We have nothing to be ashamed of. We took the program to another level. With the players we have coming back and the players we have coming in the future looks very bright for us."
The Lady Bisons lost set one 25-22, set two 25-21 and set three 25-19. One thing he is proud of is that the team never quit.
"I really liked what we did," said Rosenthal. "I thought we played pretty well throughout the match, but around 19-17 in set one we made a couple of bad plays and they really took the momentum and ran with it.
"The scores were fairly competitive. I thought we did a real nice job of coming out and being the aggressor. It was hard to lose that way, but I would rather my players go down fighting. Even in the last couple of points of the match our players really fought hard. That takes a lot of character."
In each set they jumped out to quick lead, but couldn't sustain the momentum. About midway through the second set Rosenthal saw something from his team he had not seen all season.
"Last year we did a nice job with all 14 of us really working together," said Rosenthal. "I felt like we started out that way against Belmont, but about midway through the match we struggled a little bit with so many errors. And instead of trusting each other and trusting what we have done all year we kind of broke down.
"That hasn't happened all year. That is something we will address, not now, but in the future. It will be a good learning tool for us."
Middle blocker Alex Kelly led the Lady Bisons with 11 kills and outside hitter Katie Rose added 10. Setter Stefine "Jake" Pease made 28 assists and added one service ace.
Libero Jessica Turner ended her college career with 16 digs, a match high.
"It's a shame Jessica had to go out on this note," said Rosenthal. "But she had wonderful career. She is a big reason we have had success over the past four years."
Belmont's Cat Mundy made a match-high 15 kills.
Pease and Kelly both were named to the All-Tournament Team.
"There were some things I wish we could have done a little differently," said Rosenthal. "But our hats are off to Belmont and the way they played."
The Lady Bisons finished the season with a 21-11 record, the highest victory total in the history of the program. Belmont is 25-7 overall.

BALTIMORE – The UMBC track and field teams continue their outdoor season by traveling to Northern Virginia for the Mason Spring Invitational, Saturday afternoon at George Mason Stadium. The day will start with the throwing event kicking off at 10:00 a.m. while the running events commence at 12:00 p.m.
Half-way through their outdoor season, the Retrievers have received multiple record-breaking performances as five school marks have already been bested in the first three meets.
Sophomore starlet Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) broke both of her previous school records in the 100- and 200m dash events while competing two weeks ago at the Big Dawg Invitational on her home track. Jackson has already qualified for the ECAC Championships and currently leads the America East in both events while placing 13th in the 200m (23.60) and 28th in the 100m (11.65) in the NCAA East Region.
Jackson is not alone in the sprints as freshman D'Nique Phillip (Elkton, Md.) and junior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) both rank in the top-ten in the conference for both sprints. Each athlete will forego the short sprints this weekend, however, to run in the 400m.
For the men, senior Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) will try to push his way into the UMBC all-time top-ten in the 100m after recording a career-best 10.78 last weekend at the Duke Invitational. He will also run the 200m dash and try to improve on his season-best time of 21.80 which he set at the Florida State Relays on Mar. 23.
Classmate Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) will join Long in the 200m dash, in addition competing in the 110m hurdles. Proctor's season-best of 14.57 from last weekend in North Carolina ranks as the third-fastest in the America East and 79th in the East Region.
Transfers Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan St./Maryland) and Thor Serefenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) have come in and taken the lead for UMBC in the throws. Serafenas leads the conference in the discus with his throw of 48.29m (158'5") at the Big Dawg Invite, while Adantor is third (45.51m, 149'4"). In the hammer, Serafenas occupies second (56.85m (186'6) with Adantor just back in fifth 948.83m (160'2") and junior Ray Stinsman III (Mt. Laurel, N.J./Lenape) in sixth (47.95m, 157'4").
Freshman Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany) has impressed early in his Retriever career after breaking the school record in the javelin at the FSU Relays and again at the Big Dawg meet. Rentzsch's throw of 60.38m (198'1) leads the league in the event and has him qualified for the IC4A meet at Princeton.
The Retrievers set career-best results in the mid-distance and distance events last weekend and hope the times continue to fall before the conference championships.
Sophomore Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) set career-bests in both the 400m run and 400m hurdles at Duke, breaking her own school record in the latter event. Fogle's time of 1:01.64 ranks second in the conference and sits her in 66th for the NCAA East Prelims.
In the 800m run, freshman Andrew Keresztes (Port Jefferson, N.Y./Port Jefferson) and junior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) will run for the men while sophomore Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) and junior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) pace a group of four for the women. Keresztes (1:52.40) and Daly (2:14.90) each set personal-bests last weekend with Keresztes taking over the lead in the conference and Daly jumping to third.
Freshmen Redatu Semeon (Waldorf, Md./Thomas Stone) and Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) continue to impress in the distance events for the Retrievers. Omar won the 10,000m run in Durham last weekend, qualified for the IC4A meet in May, and now leads the conference with a time of 30:54.82. Freshman Noah Hutton (Bel Air, Md.) is right behind his teammate in the league rankings (31:49.86). Semeon, meanwhile, bettered his personal-best in the 3,000m steeplechase last week to 9:25.25 to rank second in the conference.
