A diamond to negotiators from the University and Dining Services, who reached an agreement on a new contract just before 2 a.m. Thursday morning in a New Dorm conference room.

A diamond to the hardy souls at both sides of the negotiating table who will be working all the way through the long weekend haggling over a new contract for Brown Dining Services workers, and to the various students who have gotten worked up over the process. We're looking forward to the warring factions, ...
Coal to Brown researchers who experimented on "tiny, soft-bodied worms" that might be our earliest bilateral ancestor. Have you learned nothing from the PETA organizers on the Main Green this week? Those tiny, flaccid, defenseless worms are our kin! And they're soft-bodied!A diamond to the alums who ...
A diamond to the University's decision to offer flu vaccines at Jo's. It's sure to be the most popular menu addition since mozzarella sticks, although we'll all have to be more careful when ordering our spicies "with." Hypodermic needles aren't as tasty as cheese.That said, coal for choosing the wrong ...
A cubic zirconium to the Gmail blunder that mixed up the inboxes of a few unfortunate Brunonians. We missed the first meetings of all those clubs we signed up for at the activities fair, but we found your Google Alert for "Brown University campus sighting Harry Potter" fascinating, Ruth. ...
A diamond to the class of 2013. To us, you're all magical.Coal to the Fish Co. bouncer who punched out a student's tooth Wednesday night. The only thing you're supposed to lose at Fish Co. is your dignity.Speaking of clubs, coal to the freshman at last night's activities fair who told The Herald he ...
Seeing an artist in concert when she only has one album to her name is always a risk, even when she's damn good. Why? One word: filler. You'd be hard-pressed to find a popular musician who doesn't pad his or her albums with bland toss-offs, and the sin of filler is easy to forgive ...
Since Nas released his debut album Illmatic in 1994, he's been a legend with a lot to live up to. Illmatic was widely hailed as a great album when it was released, and it's still frequently named as one of the best hip-hop albums of all time. The quality of its nuanced lyrics, which depict ...
Hey, you. Yeah, I'm talking to you, hot stuff. Wow, you're actually very attractive. I mean, you're really good-looking. What's your name? Cool, my name's Owen. How come I've never seen you before? What's that? You only come outside during Spring Weekend? ...
From Outback Steakhouse commercials to onstage full-frontal nudity, Of Montreal has done it all. That's not too much of an exaggeration when you consider how long they've been around — twelve years and counting — and how committed they are to doing wacked-out stuff year after year. ...

Truly there is no better time to have a special girl or guy than springtime, and specifically during the brain-buzz that is Spring Weekend. For those of us whose significant other consists of a bottle of bourbon and a Videobox subscription, it's easy to fall into a spiral of bitterness and political ...
Recycling bin full of ice and Coronas. Three or four limes (don't forget a knife). Chips and salsa. Sun's out guns out, baby.
Proper lime segmenting yields six to eight units per fruit, and is greatly aided by the blade of a proper knife. If the wedge is intended for a Corona, squeeze half the juice directly into the beer and follow with a lush swipe of the rim. Perch wedge half-in, half-out of the bottle, just like in the ...
