New Zealand held off a fighting Perth Wildcats outfit to successfully defend its NBL title with a 79-73 game three win in Auckland on Tuesday night.

The Breakers became the first side to win consecutive titles since Sydney Kings in 2002-2005, a championship team that veteran New Zealand guard CJ Bruton was also a part of.

The 35-year-old guard, who has won NBL titles with Sydney in 2004 and 2005, Brisbane in 2007 and New Zealand last year, showed his big game experience with a cool 16 points, going 4-of-7 from downtown and adding three rebounds, three assists and two steals.

Bruton was awarded the Larry Sengstock Medal for the Most Valuable Player of the series, to roars...

Nintendo’s Stance On Download vs. Retail Prices For Games

By Ishaan . May 1, 2012 . 5:31pm

As you may have heard in a report last week, Nintendo will begin offering the majority of their retail first-party Nintendo 3DS games in the form of both physical boxed goods as well as downloads via the Nintendo eShop this summer. This initiative will begin with New Super Mario Bros. 2, scheduled for release in August.

There are two things of importance to note about this initiative. Here’s the first:

Nintendo will not price physical and download versions of games differently. If you download a Nintendo game directly off the Nintendo...

You find yourself in a heated discussion with your soon-to-be ex. You end the conversation angry, frustrated and find this just adds to your growing resentment. You keep asking yourself, Why cant we just have a normal conversation? Why does it always turn into an argument?

Once you enter the divorce process, the relationship between the couple changes immediately. It is important to change your mindset when working with your soon-to-be ex in a business matter and resist the urge to throw emotions, past hurts or resentments into the discussions around your divorce.

During my marriage, my ex managed our finances. Early in our divorce process, he started a conversation one evening...

PRINCETON Early on this season, Notre Dames girls lacrosse team struggled, dropping their first four games. Recently though, the Irish have been tough to stop, and that continued yesterday when they handed eight-seeded Hun a 16-13 defeat in the first round of the Mercer County Tournament.

The win makes it three in a row for the Irish, and tomorrow theyll get another shot at top-seeded Allentown (who downed Nottingham 21-1 on Thursday) in the tournament quarterfinals. The Irish will travel to play the Redbirds, a team that they lost to 13-12 just two short weeks ago.

One of the central figures for Notre Dame on offense was senior attack player Emily Bowers, who scored the 200th...

It being suggested that I review a new audio tour of the Metropolitan Museum by its director Thomas P. Campbell, I gulped. Never once in my life had I used a museum audio guide. What a snob? No doubt. Im partial to my naked experience of art. I dont want answers about works until Ive formed questions. But I understand that most people, in an overwhelming Home Depot of the aesthetic like the Met, lack time to luxuriate in slowly unfolding mysteries. And for all I knew, I had been missing something. Surrendering seven dollars for a push-button receiver and comfortable earphones, I set forth.

Campbells resilient British tenor (Ren-AYS-sance) exudes gravitas, though nothing like that...

Companies in this industry manufacture geosynthetic materials. These products are typically made from petrochemical-based plastics that will not decompose from bacteria or fungi. These products are typically placed in soil to separate or distribute loads, reinforce soil, prevent soil movement or control water pressure. The industry suffered steep declines during the recession, but has bounced back with resilience, benefiting from pent-up demand and increasing range of uses for industry products. The next five years will bring even stronger growth, but decreasing government funding could threaten growth. For these reasons, industry research firm IBISWorld has added a report on the Geosynthetics...

The yellow school bus zoomed up and over the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, through a ragged row of tired factories and lonely playing fields and past an eerily well-kept mini golf course before coming to a halt a stone’s throw from a massive white tent. There, I wavered under the damp East River breeze, anchored a few hundred yards off of Manhattan on Randall’s Island, for Frieze. The cultural Babylon seemed to be erected as a newfound art Mecca, one that the bespectacled Austrian across the aisle from me would now count among his yearly pilgrimages. The behemoth beckoned and we came.

This was my first fair–art fair, that is. Throughout the course of my young life, I have...

A tucked-away collection of art books is now a full-fledged research and reference library that is open to the public.

Sunday, the El Paso Museum of Art and its partner, the El Paso Public Library system, officially dedicated what city officials are calling the first public library in the country devoted to the visual arts.

About 100 people attended the ceremony at the Downtown art museum, which has had an art library since it opened its current location in 1998, thanks to a grant from the Meadows Foundation.
