Michaelson tweaks sound on Human Again
February 1st, 2012 Ally Thibault Ingrid Michaelson’s fifth studio album, released last Tuesday, branches out from the classic indie, folk sound her fans have come to expect. Human Again takes the emphasis off the innocent ukulele melodies and cute lyrics, replacing them with faster beats and more dramatic narratives.
The first single off the album, “Ghost,” was released back in November. The song still features Michealson’s signature soft, slow beat but adds overwrought crescendos and intense vocals. These new elements create a vibe that diverges from her cutesy indie hits “The Way I Am” from Girls and Boys (2006) and “You and I” from Be Ok (2008). Read more »

Suffolk to start new chapter
January 26th, 2012 Journal Staff By Jeff Fish, Ethan M. Long, and Derek J. Anderson
One week from today, Suffolk’s new president, James McCarthy will begin his tenure at the university more than a year after David Sargent retired. The Journal spoke with McCarthy in a phone interview Monday about his plans for Suffolk moving forward.
“I think on a general level what I need to do is make sure that we preserve all those wonderful things about Suffolk’s history and its mission, and we enhance those as much as we possibly can,” said McCarthy.
“We have to reconfirm who we are, what our mission is, we have to ask what our focus should be,” he said. “The first thing on my agenda is launching and then quickly completing a strategic planning process so that we answer some of those fundamental questions – set the direction that we should follow.”

Since the Boston Bruins captured their sixth Stanley cup championship and their new banner was raised to the rafters at TD Garden, the hype in Boston about the 2011-2012 season has been enormous.
As previous teams have shown, it can be difficult to repeat as Stanley Cup Champs. Since 2000, 11 team captains have hoisted Lord Stanley about their shoulders. Up to the halfway point in the season the Bruins are showing that they have picked up right where they left off last season. The black and gold find themselves atop the Northeast Division, and with one game remaining versus the Washington Capitals, tied for first in the Eastern Conference with the surprise New York Rangers (64 points).
