Spice and Wolf Novel [Spoilerific Discussion]
Since TigerII quickly fled after making a request for a thread about the novel, I'm forced to use my copy-paste skill. The following has been taken from Wiki.
About the Novel:---
Spice and Wolf began as a light novel series written by Isuna Hasekura, with illustrations by Jū Ayakura. Originally, Hasekura entered the first novel in the series into MediaWorks' twelfth Dengeki Novel Prize in 2005 and the novel won the Silver Prize. Afterwards, MediaWorks published the first novel on February 10, 2006, and as of December 10, 2007, six volumes have been published under MediaWorks' Dengeki Bunko label. A seventh will follow on February 10, 2008. The Mainichi Shimbun reported that as of August 2007, over 500,000 copies of the novels have been sold. The light novel series was ranked first in 2007 in Takarajimasha's light novel guidebook Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi published yearly, and in the same publication, Holo won Best Female Character. The tagline for the novels is "Merchant meats spicy wolf.", an example of Engrish. The author of the novels has commented that what "meats" in the tagline really means is kept a secret, alluding to a possible intentional misspelling of "meets".The Story:---
Spice and Wolf's story revolves around Craft Lawrence, a twenty-five-year-old peddler travelling from town to town selling and buying various things to make a living in a stylized historical setting with European influences. His main goal in life is to gather enough money to start his own shop, and he already has been travelling for seven years while gaining experience in the trade. One night when stopped at the town of Pasroe, he finds in his wagon a 250-year-old pagan wolf-deity girl named Holo. She appears to be that of a fifteen-year-old girl, except for a wolf's tail and ears. She introduces herself as the town's goddess of harvest who has kept it blessed with good harvests of wheat for many years. Despite having the responsibility to watch over the town, she wants to go back to her homeland in the north called Yoitsu; she believes the people have already forsaken her anyway and that she has kept her promise to maintain the good harvests. Holo wants also to travel to see the world how the world has changed while she has remained in one place for years. She manages to bargain her way out of the village by making a deal with Lawrence to take her with him. As they travel, her wisdom helps increase his profits, but at the same time, her true nature draws unwanted attention from the church.

Vexx got another honorary thread start. Lucky him!
In the Generic Discussion topic we've had someone splice together a lot of the two-page illustrations pretty well, and we've got a bunch of spoilers in there too.
The novels can be bought from YesAsia.com if you've just gotta have them. Link was in the Generic Discussion thread too, but I'll go see if I can dig it up.
EDIT: Here it is.

the reason I want to read the light novel is because the anime is not detailed enough about the story, or may be it is just me that feel that the pase in the anime is fast and not detailed enough, I think it s not their fault tho...

That's a common problem with *any* visual adaptation of a novel. The *best* visual adaptations make you want to read the book and don't do it by *screwing* with major plot points (a common Hollywood-style ego trip).

Hello. I've started translating the first Japanese volume, and Onizuka kindly agreed to host it on Baka-Tsuki. I've been learning Japanese on my own for some time now and am quite new to translation. In particular, I've not yet had the chance to get feedback from anyone about my understanding of Japanese.
I've put up a draft of the first few pages in a discussion page of the wiki, rather than in the main article. I'd be really grateful if people skilled in Japanese could review it. I've got lots of questions in there as well, am hoping to get replies for them. Once there are enough reviews and corrections, and I'm sufficiently confident of it's accuracy, pages will be moved to the main article, where the usual editing can take place.

Translator Level 4/10
Join Date: Feb 2008
I've recently started down the road of translating volume one as well, but I am definitely much farther behind than you =). I've been studying Japanese here in Japan for around 1 month now, and all I know is some basic sentence structure, and the hiragana/katakana. I've been using Wakan to lookup Kanji based on estimated number of strokes, and key symbols. Then I've been copying the sentences exactly as they appear into a word document, then use Babylon to translate, and I try to rephrase the sentence based on english grammar, and change words if there is a different meaning to something. I was thinking it would A. Satisfy my need for more SaW, and B. Help me learn Japanese, by going above my abilities, and researching it. Your work is something I can check mine against, and I'm grateful for it.
Question: This is my first time reading a light novel, and I was wondering, in the book, there are these small black half-boxes around certain words. Does this separate dialogue from narration? The 4th to 5th lines started to really confuse me, but it's because of a shift from dialogue to narration I think...right?
As for information of Spice and Wolf, correct me if I'm wrong, but heres some things I was thinking about.
Volume 1 Has six chapters, each chapter has been adapted into an animated episode. ANN says there will be 12 episodes and an OVA. That's the equivalent of 2 light novels....does this mean the anime will be left hanging? (there are 7 novels now, and they are still continuing) Or will they pull an FMA and change the storyline completely half-way in?
PS Gosh I wish I could read Japanese...I've always loved books, and not being able to read something I've become entranced with really bites....

I don't think I've seen Millet listed in dog food before (I know I give it to the birds, though), and I had never even heard of Sorghum?! I googled Sorghum in the results I glanced at, read it was a pretty low-grade, low-cost filler. I wrote back to the guy and told him as much, as well as my opinion that the food was grain-heavy (not necessarily more so than the DN, I realize, but as the others are on grain-free, that's just not going to fly).
He disagreed and kind of insulted my choice to feed my dog anything Diamond related. But here are a couple snippets
If you were to examine my foods a little closer you would see they are superior to Diamond naturals..They are not grain heavy. How many different grains are in the food doesn't have anything to do with the total amount of grain the food has in it. These foods are based on 2000# formula's. A food could have one grain on the ingredient list and have 1000# of grain in it. Another food could have 5 different grains listed on the ingredient list and still only have 500 total lbs. of grain in the overall formula
Though I'm pretty sure their placement on the ingredient list is indicative on the proportions in the food.
[qoute]Sorgham and millet are not low quality grains. Sorgham is whole grain and gluten free, high in antioxidents, rich in b1, niacin, iron, zinc, dietary fiber, and B2. It also boosts smoother blood sugar behavior in dogs.
Millet is also gluten free, is rich in vitamins and minerals, and is one of the least allergenic and most digestible grains.[/quote]
Anyone have any thoughts on any of this?
(PS My Akita doesn't get grain free food because giving him enough to make him full makes him gain weight)

A winner was selected from 49 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
unfuck the planet
we are two guys starting a non-profit / social business with a simple and emphatic message: unfuck the planet!
tom and me are accomplished experts with an interdisciplinary background in environmental and social business. both of us are outgoing self-starters able to assess challenges and successfully find solutions.
our approach is to address world social and environmental challenges via inspiring contents and to offer concrete action steps.
all profits will be handed over to eco-social projects. all cash flows will be made public on our website.
first of all we are going to approach the LOHAS community by selling t-shirts with our message.
but more importantly, we want to reach a broader community, who wants to channel their anger in a positive way. we want to give the civil society the chance to raise their voice in the face of the climate crisis and global injustice.
our message unfuck the planet will be sent out on the internet. this is an experiment open for others to participate. such a project is very much associated with our "antilabel". this logo should therefore comply with our standard of transparency, fair-minded sustainability and atmosphere of departure and some twist of cognitive dissonance.
imagine you're designing a logo for an ego-shooter game targeted at thirty-something mothers.
the logo will appear on t-shirts and on a website. it has to be able to carry even when being seen from a distance without being too dominant on a website.
tech requirements
we will need vector graphics as well as a well sorted psd file.

Senate Reconsidering International Treaty on Rights of Persons with Disabilities: The U.S. Senate is reviving consideration of an international treaty that would improve protections for people with disabilities a year after approval fell five votes short. Senator Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has held two hearings and plans a committee vote perhaps next month. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities has already been ratified by 138 other countries. Secretary of State John Kerry said last week, when the treaty countries gather to discuss accessibility and employment standards for people with disabilities, "we've been excluded because we're not a party to the treaty." Advocates say the treaty is an extension of the principles in the Americans with Disabilities Act and would make it easier for Americans to safely travel, study and work abroad. (The New York Times, 11/24/13)
Virginia Examining Mental Health System: The state of Virginia's is conducting an investigation into the handling of a case involving the son of state Sen. R. Creigh Deeds, who apparently stabbed his father and then fatally shot himself. The state's inspector general will determine whether Deeds' son should have been referred for psychiatric care the day before the incident. Austin Deeds, who was 24, had undergone a psychiatric evaluation Monday, and officials initially said the reason he was not admitted to a hospital was that no bed was available. But multiple nearby hospitals later confirmed that they had available space but were never contacted. The state's top health official is also undertaking a review of state and local mental health services in the wake of the incident. (The Washington Post, 11/22/13)
Psych Disorders in Teens Often Neglected: Less than half of American teens with mental health disorders receive treatment, and those who do get help rarely see a mental health specialist, according to a new study. The analysis of data from more than 10,000 teens aged 13 to 17 across the United States also showed that treatment rates varied greatly for different types of mental health problems. For example, teens with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorder received mental health care more than 70 percent of the time, while those with phobias or anxiety disorders were least likely to be treated. The researchers also found that blacks were much less likely than whites to be treated for mental disorders, according to the study, published in the journal Psychiatric Services. (MedPage Today, 11/18/13)
Sleep Therapy Aids Treatment for Depression—Study: Treating persistent insomnia at the same time as depression could double the chances that the mood disorder will disappear, according to a series of recent studies. The findings are significant because sleep problems can sometimes precede depression. If other studies confirm the results, it might lead to major changes in depression treatment. Researchers found depression lifted significantly among patients whose insomnia was cured. The insomnia treatment consisted of four talk therapy sessions over eight weeks. During the sessions, patients were given certain instructions: set a specific wake-up time and don't veer from it; get out of bed when awake but don't eat, read or watch TV; and refrain from taking any daytime naps. Almost 90 percent of patients who responded to the insomnia therapy also saw their depression lift after taking an antidepressant pill or an inactive placebo for two months. That was about double the rate of those who could not shake their sleeplessness. (The New York Times, 11/18/13)
ADHD Diagnoses Rise to 11 Percent in Children: The number of U.S. children diagnosed with attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) continues to rise but may be leveling off a bit, a new survey shows. Approximately 11 percent of children have been diagnosed with ADHD, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which surveyed more than 95,000 parents in 2011. There has been a 42 percent increase in the number of reported cases of ADHD since 2003, researchers report in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Today, 6.4 million children between the ages of 4 and 17 have received an ADHD diagnosis, according to the study. That's 2 million more children than in 2007. Despite the increase, experts believe the diagnosis rate of ADHD is getting closer to its true prevalence. The number of children using medications to treat ADHD is also rising. Since the last survey taken in 2007, there has been a 28 percent increase in children taking drugs to manage the disorder. More than 3.5 million children in the 4 to 17 age group, or 6 percent, are taking ADHD medications, the survey found. (CNN, 11/22/13)
USA Today reports on programs for early treatment for serious mental illness.
The Billings Gazette has published a series of articles on Montana's high suicide rate.
The Seattle Times looks at the work of peer bridgers.
The New York Times examines how" Sleep Therapy Is Expected to Gain a Wider Role in Depression Treatment."

Latest Research
Brain Shows Signs of Injury by Concussion After Symptoms Decline: The brain continues to show signs of injury months after concussion symptoms fade, according to a new study. Comparing 50 concussion patients with the same number of healthy people, researchers found that the brains of those suffering concussions showed abnormalities four months later. This happened despite the fact that their symptoms had already eased to some degree. The findings may sway conventional thinking about when it's safe to resume physical activities that could produce another concussion, according to the study authors, whose findings were published in the journal Neurology. The researchers matched 50 patients with mild concussions to 50 healthy people of similar age and education levels. They tested all participants in memory and thinking skills, as well as other symptoms such as anxiety and depression. Special brain scans using technology that is not available in standard brain scans were also given. All tests and scans were repeated two weeks after the concussion, and again four months later.

I arrived at the office of Dr. Stuart Sovatsky '71 in Richmond, CA thirty minutes too early and unsure of what to expect. But Dr. Sovatsky greeted me warmly, and we chatted about Princeton life while we waited for my fellow Princetern, Michele Tyler. After Michele arrived, Dr. Sovatsky told us more about his background, his work in the U.S. and in Russia, and what the schedule of events would be for that day. Michele and I had also never met before, so in the process of telling Dr. Sovatsky about ourselves, we also learned about each other.
Dr. Sovatsky's private practice is centered on relationship counseling and yoga counseling, and we were lucky enough to experience both therapies firsthand. Dr. Sovatsky had arranged for a couple he had been seeing for a year to come and talk to us at 11 am. The couple we met was extremely friendly, and we got to hear the story of their relationship and how they found Dr. Sovatsky. They had gone through rough times and told us about the techniques that Dr. Sovatsky had used to help them overcome their difficulties. I found their story very moving and was tearing up by the time they left.
After lunch, Dr. Sovatsky's intern, Andrew, came by with his daughter to share his experiences with us. It was really informative to hear from both Andrew and Dr. Sovatsky about the different degree programs and processes needed to become a therapist. They helped me figure out what path I wanted to pursue to reach my goal of being both a researcher and therapist. Also, they shared with us how a private practice was set up, what it was like to run a private practice, and how different patients would respond better to different therapies. Andrew's adorable young daughter was with him, and he told us that running a private practice gave him more flexible hours to take care of her.
Dr. Sovatsky told us of his other counseling work beforehe focused on relationship counseling, and we got to hear anecdotes about former patients. As the day drew to a close, Dr. Sovatsky talked to us about his yogic research. He played an Indian musical instrument for us that facilitates energy flow and was very calming. We talked about how spiritual awakening is important in his counseling, and by the end of the day, I felt enlightened.
I am very grateful to have had this opportunity to meet with Dr. Sovatsky, the couple that he is helping, and Andrew. Even though the Princeternship lasted only a day, I felt like I learned a lot about this career field, and I would definitely recommend this Princeternship to other students.

PINE TWP, Mercer County — A Grove City man is charged with unlawful restraint of a minor and simple assault after he allegedly pulled a 9-year-old boy into a restroom stall in a Walmart store.
Shawn M. Miller, 27, was arrested this morning by state police in Mercer following the alleged incident in the Walmart on West Main Street that occurred Thursday.
Police said Miller watched a father and his two boys enter the store's restroom about 4:30 p.m.
Miller waited outside the restroom until the father exited with his 6-year-old son. Miller then entered the restroom where the 9-year-old boy was still washing his hands.
Miller grabbed the boy by the wrist and pulled him into a stall and shut the door. The boy was able to free himself and leave the stall, but was again grabbed by Miller, police said.
When the boy began screaming for his father, Miller let him go.
Miller fled through the front entrance and ran on foot to the wooded area behind the store.
He was able to elude a search by state police and Grove City police following the incident, but was later identified and arrested the today.

text: Montana is the fourth largest U.S. state by area, behind Alaska, Texas and California, but with an average of just six people per square mile, it is one of the country's least densely populated states. Although the name Montana is derived from the Spanish montaña ("mountain" or "mountainous region"), it has an average elevation of only 3,400 feet, the lowest among the Rocky Mountain states. Montana is home to the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, which memorializes the historic 1876 battle between the Sioux tribe and U.S. Army, often referred to as "Custer's Last Stand." Yellowstone National Park, located in southern Montana and northern Wyoming, was the first national park established in the United States.

New Delhi: Cooking gas cylinders will soon be sold at market rates at selected petrol pumps across the country.
Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily will formally launch sales and an LPG portability scheme at a function in Bangalore on Saturay, an official statement said Wednesday.
Initially, 5 kg cylinders of liquified petroleum gas (LPG) will be sold at the petrol stations of the government-run oil marketing firms.
"The first initiative allows sale of 5 kg LPG cylinders at market price with minimal paperwork through company owned retail outlets," oil ministry said in a statement.
"This will be a boon to migratory population such as students, IT professionals, BPO employees and persons with odd duty timings as it would provide them the flexibility to pick up cylinders and obtain subsequent refills at time of their choice as Petrol Stations are open for longer hours," it said.
The scheme will be launched in Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore on a pilot basis through select retail outlets.
The government also plan to introduce LPG Portability Scheme, under which a consumer can opt for the distributor of his choice within a cluster of LPG distributors in the vicinity and across the oil companies.
"The consumers will be able to see the service ratings of all the distributors in their cluster and choose the one they want based on service levels," the oil ministry statement said.

Torture doesn't necessarily have to deal with physical pain. The US military have used Christian heavy metal music by the band Demon Hunter after rockers Metallica asked they stop using their recordings on prisoners.
The US Navy SEAL involved in the killing of Osama bin Laden told Esquire magazine that prior to using Demon Hunter recordings, the commandoes used Metallica music to pull information out of Iraqi prisoners.
"When we first started the war in Iraq we were using Metallica music to soften people up before we interrogated them,"the spokesperson said.
However after the band, who is totally opposed to violence, asked the US military to stop using their music at interrogations, the commanders chose Demon Hunter.
"Demon Hunter said, 'We're all about promoting what you do.' They sent us CDs and patches. I wore my Demon Hunter patch on every mission – I wore it when I blasted Bin Laden," the Navy SEAL added.
"Part of me is proud they chose Metallica, and then part of me is bummed about it. We've got nothing to do with this and we're trying to be apolitical as possible – I think politics and music, at least for us, don't mix," Metallica front man James Hetfield said in 2008 commenting on the news that US military used the band's music for the interrogation of Guantanamo prisoners.

Donna Belangerby Paul Motter | Board Moderator
Hi, my name is Donna Belanger, and I am proud to be a Canadian CruiseMate. I live in Montreal, Quebec, with my cruise-addicted husband James, and my son, 18, a veteran of 5 cruises himself. I also have a 23 yr old daughter (1 cruise), and James has 2 grown children (1 cruise).
In 1995, James introduced me to cruising with a 4 day "trial" cruise on Royal Caribbean's Nordic Empress. It was a "trial" to see if I got sea-sick! I didn't, and the rest as they say, is history. I told him then and there, "if we ever do this again, it's GOT to be more than 4 days!" Since then, we have honeymooned on a cruise, and taken 7 more wonderful cruises, some with family, some without, and neither of us are content until we have the next one booked!
I believe cruises are the best vacations for women; you only pack once, and you don't have to cook, clean, or make beds, and you can do as much or as little as you want on board or in port. You are waited on hand and foot, and the food and entertainment are excellent! What more could you ask for?

On November 5, 1952, Colston Warne (President of Consumers Union) inquired by letter whether Ray Price and Henry Harap would be interested in launching a consumer education association. Warne stated that Consumers Union would contribute financial support to bring several persons together for that purpose. Price and Harap met with Warne in Chicago and approved the proposal. Twenty persons accepted an invitation to attend a planning session at the University of Minnesota. These Charter Members were primarily college and university professors. They approved the selection of an executive committee which was given the following charge: prepare a plan for permanent organization, prepare a budget and obtain financial assistance, choose an executive secretary, and define its functions. The following persons served on this Executive Committee: Marguerite Burk, Eugene Beem, G.E. Damon, Henry Harap and Ray Price. Eugene Beem was chosen to act as Executive Secretary. The Executive Committee met in Washington on June 1, 1953, after which the Consumers Union made a grant of $7000. This grant enabled the planning group to proceed with the recruitment of members, publication of newsletters and pamphlets, and the organization of an annual conference. Thus, the American Council on Consumers Interests was formally established in 1953. Initially, the organization was called the Council on Consumer Information and in 1969 it was changed to the American Council on Consumer Interests. ACCI was established for the purpose of stimulating the exchange of ideas among persons interested in the welfare of the consumer and to be non-political, taking no stand on issues of public policy. Its sole purpose was to contribute to more effective fact-finding and dissemination of consumer information. The first annual ACCI conference was held in 1955 in Dayton, Ohio. *Taken from Henry Harap, "A Brief History of the American Council on Consumer Interests," a photocopied paper distributed by Consumers Union of the U.S., March 1981.

Upscale eateries also offering good deals on food and drink
Fellow business reporter Eve Samples sent along this item to me: City Fish Market and Chops Lobster Bar, both in Boca Raton, are running a number of promotions to get customers into the doors of their fine dining eateries.

CRESTVIEW � Some north Okaloosa County schools have reported increased student populations due to military presence.
CRESTVIEW � Some north Okaloosa County schools have reported increased student populations due to military presence.
The 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) brought more than 2,200 personnel to Eglin Air Force Base in 2010. Nearly 3,000 children ages 5 to 18 attend north county schools, Lt. Col. James Brownlee, a public affairs officer with the group, said. Forty-eight percent of the Special Forces� personnel have made the Hub City their home, particularly due to its affordable housing near base.
Brownlee said the number of military personnel is expected to grow.
"With the coming of our Regional Support Element and other support elements, our increase may be as great as 500 more soldiers, who will most likely all be here by this September," he said.
Crestview High School
VIDEO: See "Related Media" at top left for interviews with some north Okaloosa principals.
Crestview High School has seen incremental increases in student population since the military installment�s arrival, principal Bob Jones said.
Prior to military installation, the school enrolled around 450 to 500 incoming freshmen; it expects 600 students for the 2013-14 school year, he said.
Classrooms are at capacity, Jones said.
"If I have two more classes that we have to add, then we will have to have a teacher that is roving, meaning that (he or she) isn't going to be in the same classroom all day.�
Portable classrooms also are a possibility, he said.
The school may add staffers to meet more than 1,800 students� needs, Jones said.
Academically, CHS may restart the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education program, which offers advanced courses and college credit.
"Were also looking at adding some additional technical and career courses for next year," including construction technology and cosmetology, Jones said.
Baker School
Baker School, a K-12 institution, has received steady growth in elementary grade levels, with 635 kindergartners through fifth-graders, according to administrators.
"I think the 7th Special Forces coming has had an impact," principal Thomas Shipp said. "We had some subdivisions built locally that have attracted them."
Finding room for the growth has causes concern.
"Right now, we have seven classes in portables and we don't have any regular classroom space available," Shipp said. "So if we have another 2 percent growth for next year, we are going to have to do some figuring."
An option is converting one of four computer labs into a classroom.
"We have a science lab that we use for elementary and middle school, and that may have to become a classroom," Shipp said. "We hate to lose that, because that is something we worked hard to build up, which is ironic because as our numbers grow, we will need that computer lab more and more."
Administrators believe the school district will help find solutions for the overflow.
"I think the district's trying to look ahead and plan for that, so hopefully an action will be taken so that we can free up some space," Shipp said.
Meanwhile, Baker�s curriculum is expanding to include culinary arts, a welding class and a childcare program in which students can earn a Child Development Associate credentials.
Laurel Hill School
Military influx had no noticeable effect on Laurel Hill School�s population, principal Susan Lowery-Sexton said.
"Our student population has been stable for the past seven years," she said. "We usually have around 450 students."
Lowery-Sexton said her school could facilitate growth, if it happens. Around 80 students already attend LHS on waivers that allow students to attend a school outside their designated zone.
Last fall, Laurel Hill became the county�s first school to offer an iPad-based curriculum.
"Our main interest is to increase the technology use in the school," Lowery-Sexton said. "It�s a great opportunity for kids to be prepared for an electronic society and gain those skills that make them competitive."

NEW LONDON, Conn. - Junior Charles Stone scored a game-high 19 points and added eight rebounds and five assists to lead Connecticut College to a 66-48 victory over MIT, Tuesday night, in New London. Shavar Bernier keyed an explosive second half for the Camels, who moved to 2-1 on the young season with the win. After opening the campaign with an impressive victory against Middlebury, the Engineers have dropped two in a row.
For the second consecutive game, MIT was plagued by poor shooting from the outside. The Engineers shot 30% from the floor in the opening half, including 2-of-14 from beyond the arc. Despite the offensive woes, MIT escaped to the locker room at halftime with a 24-23 lead.
Although the Engineers were able to offset the Camels efficient attack in the first half (52.9%), Connecticut College ramped it up in the last 20 minutes, shooting a blistering 63% from the field on 15-of-24 shooting. Bernier's contributions proved critical as he finished 5-of-5 from the floor for 13 points, all in the second half. Christian Mosely also supplied a big boost, scoring 16 points during the tilt in only 14 minutes of action.
Will Mroz hit a three for MIT with one second remaining the first frame to give Tech the edge at the break, and the Engineers maintained their advantage until the Camels connected on back-to-back triples with 12 minutes left in regulation. The baskets sparked a 27-12 run for Connecticut College and it never looked back en route to the second win in its last three tries against the Cardinal and Gray.
Freshman Erich Bracht paced MIT with his first career double-double, scoring 13 points and adding a game-high 11 rebounds. The Engineers have had a different player lead the team in scoring in all three games this season.
Mroz finished 4-of-7 from the field and added 11 points, while sophomore Jimmy Bartolotta closed with 10. MIT shot just 18.2% (4-of-22) from three-point range and endured its worst loss in the history of the rivalry, which got its start in 1976.
The Engineers look to bounce back this Saturday at Suffolk University. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Opinion: Obama's Call to Arms in Syria
Jonathan Schanzer, vice president of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, on why President Obama rejected advice by his Defense and State Department to help arm the rebels in Syria. Photo: Getty Images
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... I ... opinion Journal why I'm Mary Kissel ... the world is a dangerous place in there a lots of questions ... about how a second term Obama administration is handling eruptions ... in Africa in Syria in Iran but we're going to start first with Syria we cut Foundation for Defense of democracies ... vice president of research Jonathan chance or joining me now ... to talk about the latest headline out of yesterday's Senate testimony Jonathan ... the White House as they did not armed the rebels in Syria ... against the wishes of the C I a Defense Department ... that is that really the full story ... well it appears to be the story that the present Obama has gone against his and his top advisors with the exception of Susan Rice who always to arm the rebels in some shape or form ... this is ... I think the extension of of of a broader policy it is simply not wanting to get to know who the rebels are the ones we can trust ... holding them at arm's length in all the while allowing sixty five thousand people to be mowed down by the outside regime but Jonathan isn't really correct to say that were not arming the rebels ... if we're ... training fighters and potentially getting them arms through ... some of our allies in the region is that the full story ... all we're certainly sub contracting out our Syria policy we've got the Turks ... he got the cuts are East potentially the Saudis ... other is there a number of regional actors who are getting involved here the problem is that we have very little to do with exactly what's happening on the ground ... we cannot put some of the scale sinks in place to make sure that we don't have blowback ... along the lines of what happened in Afghanistan in the nineteen eighties ... there is we seen this movie before we know how it ends ... we allow the Saudis and the Pakistanis to get involved with the Mujahideen problem ... against the Soviets nineteen eighties and look for that landed us ... in pay Jonathan but in Syria it sounds like another leading from behind effort ... why would the president beyond willing to put his fingerprints on helping freedom fighters ... you know I have to tell you I I still don't understand exactly what the the hesitancy ... is all about ... if you look at what we've done in other countries around the Middle East particularly look what happened in Libya ... our fingerprints were all over that there was a broad deal for the United States ... was part of it ... and we in short that that that the Libyan ... military was not able to bomb the opposition in fact when you heard what what presidents of bombers reasoning was for getting above the city this try to prevent a massacre in big Ozzie what tell ... tale almost two years later in Syria we got massacre is over and over and over again again sixty five thousand people killed ... I can't imagine what has been holding the president back but according to these reports it was basically just him and Susan Rice were the lone holdouts your ... ultimately decided this policy of inaction in Syria and I wonder what Valerie Jarrett had to say about that to you although we may never know ... I want to go to Libya now Jonathan ... we had testimony yesterday from Defense Secretary banana ... General Martin Dempsey ... talking about the nine eleven debacle four Americans killed ... they said they only spoke with the president wants when you make of that ... well I mean this is we can see here about how there was not enough response coming from the highest echelons of the U S government ... obviously the of the testimony by former Secretary State Hillary Clinton ... reinforce that on some level of the bottom line is there is a narrative that was going on time and within the administration that al-Qaeda was largely defeated ... and al Qaeda was on its heels and I and and what was happening on nine eleven of last year ... really flew in the face of that narrative ... I think there is ... a ... sense among the top officials they didn't want to to really engage on this ... what exactly happened on that day how much the other top officials were involved ... I'm not sure will know that of course the reports we're getting ... are extremely troubling Jonathan does this mean a picture of the president is just ... not interested in foreign policy ... I e in it his top advisors don't know to call in to keep them updated ... on what's going on in the attack on our people in Libya ... he doesn't wanna get involved in the dirt of the ... inning arming the Syrian rebels ... I he wants to talk to Iran ... it's going on ... you know I have to tell you I'm very I'm not sure I understand exactly what our foreign policy is that this time ... you know you look at what's happened in the Arab spring we let some of our top allies goes on to say that the warrant dictators certainly ... has the Mubarak ... and in Ali were dictators but they were friends of the United States ... even Moammar Gadhafi Huaxia's Iwas who had largely been neutered ... we had we had no reason to to jettison these guys ... unnecessarily again and a nice not to say that there are people in these countries more upset with them ... but so what were doing that were also allowing are valid enemies Syria for example at a state sponsor of terror since nineteen eighty three were allowing asset to stay in power we have no policy of toppling ... the look of what happened in Iran during the green revolution we stayed out of the green revolution entirely ... rather than looking for ways to topple Iran which is striving for towards a nuclear weapon ... we have the stereo peak for policy rate now under this president ... can make no mistake about it the president drives foreign policy is the president's prerogative ... this president has not made itself very clear our allies and our enemies are keenly aware of the ... very opaque opaque foreign policy under this president ... Foundation for Defense of democracies ... Jonathan Chan Sir thank you so much for being with us ...

Nashville, Tenn. - After Saturday's 67-59 win over Eastern Illinois in the OVC opener, the Tennessee State men's basketball team will look to capture its first road conference victory on Thursday when the squad squares off against Tennessee Tech.
Against Eastern Illinois, junior guard Patrick Miller had a career-high 28 points on 7-of-8 shooting. He was also perfect from behind the three-point line (3-for-3) and free throw line (11-for-11).
His strong performance earned him his first conference player of the week award of his career.
Other key contributors in TSU's eight-point victory were seniors Kellen Thornton and Jordan Cyphers. Thornton was second on the team with 16 points and recorded his third double-double of the season by tallying a game-high 10 rebounds. Cyphers had 14 points and was TSU's main outside threat, nailing four three-point attempts.
The combination of Cyphers, Miller and Thornton accounted for 73 percent of TSU's points against the Panthers and 80 percent of the squad's attempts.
Tennessee State (7-7, 1-0 OVC) will need the trio of upperclassmen to continue to play at a high level to make up for the loss of Robert Covington who tore his meniscus on Dec. 16. Covington, who will miss 4-6 weeks, was the team leader in both points (209) and rebounds (92) before going down with the injury.
So far, TSU is 2-0 without Covington, but the team has yet to play on the road without him. The Tigers will be forced to do just that on Jan. 3 when they tangle with the Golden Eagles of Tennessee Tech.
TTU comes into the game with a 6-7 record, but the squad does boast one of the premier players in the OVC in Jud Dillard.
Dillard is currently the second leading scorer in the OVC, averaging 18.4 points per contest. The guard is also fifth in the conference in rebounds per game with 7.4.
However, Dillard had his third-lowest point output of the season (12) in the team's last game against Jacksonville State- a 62-83 loss. He was just 5-of-14 from the field and accumulated four fouls and five turnovers.
The Tennessee State Tigers are 24-28 all-time versus their in-state rivals, and seek win number 25 on Thursday in Cookeville. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game can be seen on the OVC Digital Network.

I've made these Caramel Swirl Hunks for my hubby's badminton match this evening. The woman who organises the matches and food called him and asked if he could bring along the cakes again! So I decided to bake up a crowd pleaser but something that was quick and simple. These manly-sized squares are beefed up with chocolate chips and pools of dulce de leche. If anyone would like to re-create these "hunks", I have included a link for the recipe below. The recipe comes courtesy from A Passion for Baking by Marcy Goldman, a must have book!
