...Enter Lion guard K.J. Matsui. Matsui, who typically averages just over six points per game, drained two back-to-back contested threes to grant the Lions a one point advantage. Other than the climactic final minute, Harvard mustered up a sufficient post game throughout the second half following its virtual nonexistence in the first. The Crimson grabbed only 11 boards in the first frame. Neither of the team’s forwards put up any points until the second period, when freshman Keith Wright and senior Evan Harris combined for five points and five rebounds.“That?...

I also care very little about aptly named Hoobastank; no surprise, then, that in the video for their new single “My Turn,” the band members seize upon a video game motif to play dress-up to no end. The video has Hoobastank and their gear...
...Takatoshi Imada of Tokyo's Institute of Technology, Value and Decision Science sees hime-kei as a response to an unsatisfying way of life. "The hime-kei girls removed the borders between the virtual and real worlds," says Imada, who believes the phenomenon is rooted in a rejection of the goals of advancement through hard work in an ailing market economy. "They longed for a different form of self-expression and sought a more meaningful way of life." Searching for meaning through the fashions of a doomed European aristocracy may be a form of protest against a business-driven contemporary...
