Sometimes pressure and indecision can devour the most passive and relaxed individuals.In D. Graham Burnett’s book “A Trial by Jury,” he examines in detail the excruciating process of jury duty in a reputable New York City court.Burnett follows the lives of 12 citizens called in to decide the fate of a man accused of murder.It reads like a memoir as Burnett describes the events that take place in the courtroom and in the jury room, and attempts to understand the thoughts and feelings of his fellow jurors.There isn’t much he holds back, describing in detail how being cooped up and under constant supervision can make even the sanest person break.“We ran the gamut of group dynamics: a clutch of strangers yelled, cursed, rolled on the floor, vomited, whispered, embraced, sobbed and invoked both God and necromancy,” he writes.
Big Rapids - Everything Chris Kunitz did Tuesday night, Adam Hall had an answer for. Kunitz, a Ferris State left wing and the CCHA’s leading goal-scorer, put the Bulldogs up 1-0 and 2-1, but MSU senior right wing Hall provided the equalizer each time. And just when a scoring duel seemed to be shaping up between the two players, MSU freshman center Jim Slater gloved a bad clearing attempt deep in the Bulldog zone, and banged home the game-winning goal to lift No.

Synthesizers are great. And when they are applied to relaxing groove-based music, only good things can result. The new record by Himawari is electronica that is impossible to dislike. Mixing computer-generated effects with easy going Depeche Mode-influenced rhythms, this album flows like a calm river with the occasional rapid to toss and turn its direction. “The word” is a mesmerizing song that features the passionate and sexy voice of Lena repeating a phrase that, after a couple of listens, becomes perfect. “Chu chu” is a bit hesitant, tossing and turning from mellow confidence to obscure paranoia, all while building toward a powerful conclusion that never comes. Lena’s vocals are strikingly similar to Bj?rk, while the background noise hints at solid dance music at times.

The East Lansing City Council will vote Tuesday on a change to the city’s voting precincts.The precincts needed to be changed once the 2000 federal census had been completed to reflect population changes in the city detected by the election commission.“Everyone in East Lansing will have a new precinct number,” East Lansing City Clerk Sharon Reid said.The city was forced to combine different precincts after the census because of population shifts and requirements made for boundaries to be real, or along actual streets and roads within the city.Along with the new precinct numbers, four locations would be added to the list of voting locations for this year.An attempt was made to keep the original locations, but areas like the Union and Case Hall would be removed.If the revision passes, the locations on campus will be Owen Graduate Hall, Akers Hall and Wilson Hall.
