While these regions are 24 times stronger in energy than the rest of their remaining galaxy, they’re actually shrouded with large amounts of dust — making them difficult to observe. To combat this setback, Evans and others used imaging and data from NASA’s Spitzer and Hubble telescopes to record the galax- ies at different wavelengths. By taking in the light at certain wavelengths and using the IRAS, the images can be laid atop one another to piece togeth- er a more complete picture of the galaxy with all colors of the spectrum. Applying this process to images of colliding galaxies allows scientists to better understand rapid star formation in extreme conditions. When galaxies collide, gas and material lose energy and fall toward the collision’s center. This process creates concentrated stellar nurseries in which hundreds of solar masses can be pro- duced a year — the equivalent to a plethora of stars totalling 100 times the mass of our sun. To put that in perspective, our Milky Way galaxy has one to two solar masses created per year on average.

This whiskey doesn’t need ice album review Student band Strong Water brings new sound to Harrisonburg Musical pizza alt-J’s new album offers a variety of sound

By EMMY FREEDMAN contributing writer

You can’t listen to alt-J’s new album, “This is All Yours,” without being struck by the sheer variety of flavor this band puts into its musical pizza. The variety makes for a mostly satisfying meal, even though sometimes your taste buds need time to adjust between flavors, and you don’t always get that with alt-J’s newest release. The first song on the album,“Intro,” which was released alt-J on Sept. 22, encompasses many different music techniques, resulting “This Is All in an eclectic sound that you think Yours” sets the tone for the rest of the album. It starts out with a simple  a cappella tune, evolves into a Released Sept. 22 Bollywood-like rhythm and then closes with a tribal-like drum beat. However, the next song, “Arrival in Nara,” is the exact opposite. It’s practically a lullaby, as are “Choice Kingdom” and “Warm Foothills.” To go from one song being so upbeat and eccentric to the very next being a quiet trail of lyrics with an equally quiet acoustic guitar can give even the most flexible listener whiplash. “Bloodflood pt. 2” is one of the best songs on the album, as it encompasses all of what makes alt-J so unique: an array of percussion mixed with horns and a stream of eerily nonsensical lyrics. The effect is a mystical masterpiece. It’s too bad it’s the last song on the album, because it risks going unnoticed by listeners who don’t make it to the end. Other great songs include “Hunger of the Pine” and “Every Other Freckle.” “Hunger of the Pine” is given a fun pop sound by sampling from the otherwise unlistenable Miley Cyrus song “4x4” TEDDY NELSON / THE BREEZE and making her lyrics “I’m a female rebel” the focal point. “Every Banjo player Ryan Horrocks (left) and guitarist and lead vocalist Greg Brennan performed at Three Notch’d Brewery on Thursday.

The rest of the episode’s solid parts came from Lisa and t hrough the lens Meg. Much like the relationship between Bart and Stewie, the two had dazzling chemistry and were able to grow as individual characters while still being genuinely funny. A bright spot in an otherwise dreary episode was when Meg killed playing the saxophone while Lisa looked on in fury. Admittedly the episode did manage to make some use of the crossover with cameos from “Bob’s Burgers” and “The Cleveland Show,” hinting at the fact that “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy” have carried the entire animation domination block for a decade. That and the blink-and-you-missed- it cameo from Roger Smith of “American Dad” aside, the episode did very little for the reputations of “Family Guy” or “The Simpsons.” With two shows chock-full of hilarious characters, you would think that quality would have been a slam dunk here, providing a memorable mashup for both shows. But instead, it’s something that I’m sure most viewers would rather forget. The fact that the breaking point in the relationship between Homer and Peter was an argument over whose local beer is better emphasizes that these two characters are little more than bland stereotypes of bumbling buffoons leading dysfunctional families. What could have been an amazing hour of animated comedy was little more than an occasionally offensive and rarely funny mixture of the worse qualities of the aging, and dare I say tired shows. The references to other shows and relationships between the older Simpson children and their Griffin counterparts were enough to make the episode enjoyable enough, but it could have been so much better if the cliched stereotypes were eliminated.

Ft oo ball (3-3) Dukes pick up first conference win Ryan Maglio’s late field goal gives Dukes 31-28 win at No. 23-ranked University at Albany

By aaron cheris special to The Breeze

ALBANY, N.Y. — When holding for field goals, backup wide receiver Blaine Stewart’s job is very simple: catch the snap and place the ball down on the turf for the kicker to kick. On Saturday night in Albany, New York, the redshirt freshman’s quick think- ing gave the Dukes a chance at a win that they wouldn’t miss. When a holder fumbles a snap, he’s usually ended any chance at a field goal for his team. When Stewart fumbled the snap with seven seconds left in the game, he kept his cool and tossed an incomplete pass, stopping the clock and giving the Dukes anoth- er chance. On his second try, Stewart placed the ball perfectly. Then redshirt junior kicker Ryan Maglio made a 34-yard field goal, the first of his career, to win the game with four seconds to play as JMU (3-3, 1-2 CAA) defeated the No. 23-ranked University at Albany (4-1, 1-1 CAA) 31-28 Saturday. “Our holder Blaine Stewart is a real genius in the game of foot- ball,” Maglio said after the game. “He spiked the ball immediately to give us another chance. I was glad he was able to do that and I put it through.” The field goal was set up in part by a 13-yard run by redshirt junior quarterback Vad Lee and also a 16-yard completion from Lee to sophomore running back Khalid Abdullah three plays later. Early on, both offenses struggled to get much going with rain pouring down at Bob Ford Field.

By Andre Haboush contributing writer

The JMU men’s club lacrosse team entered the season pursu- ing perfection, and after a 4-0 start, the team is already on its way to achieving that goal. After the team finished third in the country last season, the Dukes are determined to be best team in the nation this upcom- ing spring and claim the national title. The Dukes hosted the Fall Mini-Madison Tournament on Satur- day, playing the Blacksburg Lacrosse Club from Virginia Tech and the Terps Lacrosse Club from the University of Maryland. Radford University was also slated to come, but the team withdrew, so JMU split into A and B teams. JMU’s A and B teams each beat both Blacksburg and Maryland. One of the team’s strongest assets is its transition game, as it was able to capitalize on the opposition’s costly mistakes “We utilize strong transition to score the majority of our goals,” senior exercise science major and club president Aaron Hum- phreys said. The team’s executive board saw many new faces step up to suc- ceed last year’s senior class. The team is getting along well, and according to Humphreys, the Dukes will be “a force to reckon with.” “We have a young team, and we obviously feel that we got to work on some stuff, but we really came together,” junior biology major and club vice president Patrick Farrell said. “We put the B Michele heffner / contributing photographer team together with a bunch of kids who’ve only known each other Sophomore communication studies major Matt Cohn fends off a Terps Lacrosse Club defender on Saturday.
