Anyone who’s followed Nine Inch Nails should be shocked this month. Trent Reznor, notorious for only releasing two real albums per decade, is releasing his second studio album in two years on April 17, Year Zero.

I had never heard of The Everyday Visuals until I saw them open for Bleu, a musician from Boston, at Jacksonville University. I fell in love with their music as soon as I heard it. An indicator of a good band is when I first see them live and I can’t help but dance and wish I already knew the lyrics so I could sing along, and that’s what happened when I saw them perform.
The most interesting thing about The Everyday Visuals is that none of the band members only play one instrument exclusively: the bassist also played drums and the drummer also played keyboards (as did the lead singer and guitarist). This versatility comes through in their second album, Things Will Look Up.

I’m so embarrassed. I like Hilary Duff. Well, maybe I should say “like.” I finally tolerate her. She and her Lohanesque pop peers nearly had me turned off to music completely, but I’m a big fan of multiple chances. Although Lindsay Lohan and several others botched theirs, and although I knew there was a possibility that my musically sensitive ears would bleed, I decided to try. And, lo and behold, Duff’s fifth (!) album Dignity isn’t all that bad. Dare I say it, I even put a few songs on my iPod.

For baseball players, it’s all about the leather.
From the first days of tee ball all the way up to the pros (for some), the glove remains a constant.
Bats go from wood to metal and back to wood again, but that leather material is always there to pick up a ball player even on an 0-4 day at the plate.

Sam Jozenville only spent two years as the power forward for the Flagler men’s basketball team, but his impact will be felt long after he leaves. After two momentous seasons he was given the highest honor he could receive.
Jozenville was selected as Player of the Year by the Independent Collegiate Athletic Association, edging out Florida Gulf Coast’s Beau Bauer by one point to receive the honor.

Almost a year after making the step up to NCAA Div. II, the Saints remain without a conference to call their own.
Flagler applied for admission to the Div. II Sunshine State Conference last spring and has been waiting for an answer ever since. The conference currently has nine members and the only way for Flagler to join is for the presidents of those nine institutions to vote for an expansion.

With a 17-24 record and 11 games to play, Saints baseball won’t have an easy road back to the .500 mark, but that doesn’t mean they can’t get there.
“We want to win every game, of course. You want to have a perfect record,” junior outfielder Glenn Kiture said. “As the season goes on you have to reestablish goals and that is a goal of ours right now.”
