Track By Track: BLAKFISH - Champions
A track by track run down on their upcoming album and how possessing a book full of lyrics concerning sex with the dead can lead you into trouble with US Customs officers
As one of the most hotly anticipated albums of 2009 in Midget Towers, we've been busy counting down the days until Blakfish's debut long player Champions (Reviewed here) drops for some time now. Recorded in Seattle earlier in the year with These Arms Are Snakes sticksman Chris Common, big things are expected of the Brummie quartet having recently signed with Hassle Records. Following our latest chat with Sam Manville, we innocently asked the vocalist/guitarist to talk us through Champions in its entirety. What we weren't expecting however was to unearth a multitude of side-splitting tales involving Jehovah's Witnesses, red, white and blue heroes and about how possessing a book full of lyrics concerning sex with the dead can lead you into trouble with US Customs officers...
"Speaks for itself really. I guess it's about us not having money and other people having lots of it. We're poor as sh*t and some people would say that's cool, well it's not, it's bollocks. It was also written around the time that "Recession" was the big buzz word, and it got me thinking that it wasn't really affecting me, I was still just as poor, I thought that was pretty funny. Also it was an excuse to rant about Abbey National."
'Ringo Starr - 2nd Best Drummer In The Beatles'
"The title was just a funny quote we found in a book at the studio. It kind of ties in with the subject as it's about the state of the music industry, although it's all very tongue in cheek. I love how bands and artists are completely exploited by labels, agents and managers, it's great. We have tried to book our own friends bands in the past, these are people we have lived with or at least known for years, and their agents and management have gone ape sh*t because we didn't go to them first. You can't even text your friend and ask if they want to hang out with you and play a show, it's a f**king horrible way to work. Even when we have gone to agents first, we've discovered they've turned down offers with out even asking the band if they want to play. This is why we still don't have an agent, we're waiting for one that isn't a silly c**t. I think we've always been very aware of the industry, or probably more wary of the industry, hopefully this will be the reason we can stick around longer than most. We're doing a slow burn, work hard, keep your head down, don't get chucked in with a scene and build a steady loyal following, well that's the plan anyway... Someone referred to us as being the Deftones to some other current bands Korn. I liked that, I love Deftones."
'Your Hair's Straight, But Your Boyfriend Ain't'
"This is a classic Robert Fruit quote, I remember when he came up with the title, we were sitting in a bar in Seattle and the five of us laughed for about an hour straight. The song's about fashion and how f**king ridiculous it all is, although everyone, including us, is completely guilty. Clothes are just there to keep you warm, people take is so seriously. I guess it's just another jibe at the British public, you'll see that that's a recurring theme."
'If The Good Lord Had Intended Us To Walk, He Wouldn't Have Invented Roller Skates'
"The title is a quote from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the one with Gene Wilder, not Johnny Depp, although I do love Mr Depp. The song is about a friend of ours who's girlfriend was going travelling for ages. I remember having a conversation with him about how he felt about her going for so long and it seemed like a nice subject to write about. The funny thing is the bastard ended up quitting his job and going with her, he's still in f**king Australia so it kind of voided it all."
Why did you decide to go with this track as lead single?
"We didn't, Hassle wanted us to. We would have much rather released something else. I can understand their point for radio but I still think 'Randy Sage...' would have been better."
'We Beg, We Borrow, We Steal'
"The title is similar to a line in the song, which is pretty rare for us. It's about being a child and growing up with people that now work 9 to 5, have mortgages and are thinking about marriage, but remember them having the same stupid dreams as us when we were kids. It's so easy to fall into either lifestyle. It's security or chaos I suppose. It also highlights the bad points and arguments for both, which I always like. I hate films that have clear good guys and baddies, not many things are ever that simple. Both sides should always be represented, Kingdom of Heaven is a good film for that, you would have thought that they would have just slagged off the Muslims, but they probably show the Christians in a worse light, I like that."
'I Saw A Car On Fire There Once'
"The title comes from a spot on the M40 where Thomas Rock actually saw a car on fire. He told me that when we drove past the place once, I thought it was interesting. The next week we drove past it again (we spend far too much time on the M40) and he told me for the second time, forgetting that he had told me previously. Then the next time we went past he told me again, knowing I already knew, and oh how we laughed...The song is mainly about London and how f**king dreadful it is drive around, that's about it for that one."
'The Closer To The Bone, The Sweeter The Meat'
"The Closer To The Bone, The Sweeter The Meat is an old saying that my Grandma uses, she's a fountain of knowledge and has endless Irishisms, well she always tells me that they're Irish but she thinks shoes are Irish. The song comes from pushy Vegans, a few in particular, that have had a go at us for being such avid carnivores. I suppose it's like religion, I don't give a sh*t how other people live their lives as long as they don't try and preach about it. Saying that I had some great Jehovah's Witnesses come to my house the other day, I opened the door and the lady said, "Hello, we're from the church of blah blah", I said, "I'm sorry I'm Jewish", and she just said, "OK, thanks a lot" and f**ked off. I thought that was pretty nice of her, they usually try to convert you. Saying that I'm not really Jewish I just like f**king with them."
'Randy Sage - True American Hero'
"We had to transfer at Atlanta to get to Seattle. Atlanta is a f**king huge airport. We were on this escalator looking rather confused about where we had to go, when this pilot turned to us and said, in a very powerful American accent "Can I help you guys, you look lost", or something like that, to which we replied in typical British fashion, "No, we're OK thanks". After he wandered off Fruit pointed out that he had a name badge, and that his name was Randy Sage. We decided that he must be a true American hero with a name and voice like that. Richard Hollywood actually internet stalked him and discovered he was in the army and loads of sh*t, he really was a True American Hero. We really hoped that he would be flying us home but he wasn't.
"The song itself is about the ball ache of getting into the States. I got taken into a f**king interrogation room where the guy read through my whole lyric book, starting with '9th Base' (you'll see why that was a bad thing when you see what it's about) and they almost sent me home. I haven't sh*t myself like that for a long time."
'I'm Laughing Now . . . But It's No Joke'
"The name comes from a very drunk guy called Bennett when we were at our friend Matty Otters house in Leeds. I wasn't actually there but I believe he drank a bottle of wine in a minute or so and then continued to tell Thom and Rich to listen to Mogwai and Oceansize. He was trying to be serious but kept laughing. Mr Rock wrote this song about the film Into the Wild. It's a good film."
'9th Base'
"The title comes from a pissed night on tour when we were working out what all the sexual bases were. 1st base is holding hands, 2nd base kissing, 3rd base fingers and tongues, and a home run is f**king, but we wanted to see how far we could go. After a while we worked out that if 8th base was f**king someone and killing them, then 9th base was f**king someone, killing them, then f**king them again. Don't ask. The song is about being sexually perverted and dangerous to the opposite sex, which we all are..."
'Scotland's Worst Invention'
"We really got this wrong, TV wasn't invented in Scotland but f**k it. To be honest from looking online no one can agree on who invented it so whatever. The song's about TV being bollocks, mainly daytime TV and soap operas. I think some of my favourite lines on the record are in this track, "What's with all these f**king soaps, I want Ray Mears not Holyoaks" and "I don't take note of what they say, I look good naked anyway". F**king TV eh. "

As camping season spreads from coast to coast, it's almost a year since a young teen's death from a food allergy episode that occurred while camping. Those with food allergies need an action plan when traveling, reported KCRA News on Friday. And if you're on a gluten-free diet for weight loss or for health, especially if you have celiac, be wary as well.
"Particularly this summer with people out and about traveling. We want people to have an anaphylactic action plan," said Dr. Clifford Bassett, an allergy and asthma specialist.
And for those who associate allergies with a minor case of hives, the case of 13-year-old Natalie Giorgi's death reveals just how serious it can be. Allergic to peanuts, Giorgi ate a dessert that she did not know contained the substance.
For those who suffer from gluten intolerance or sensitivity or from celiac, the need to be cautious when traveling can be particularly tricky. From breakfast foods to dinner entrees, wheat in particular can be hidden. And for those with celiac, the result of eating something with gluten can affect mental abilities as well as physical health, reported Health 24 News on Friday.
Australian scientists discovered that eliminating all gluten resulted in higher scores in brain functions such as memory and attention. They linked the decrease in "brain fog" that many celiac sufferers experience to the healing of their intestines after they went gluten-free.
"Maintaining a gluten-free diet is essential not only for (patients') physical well-being, but for mental well-being also," said study author Dr Greg Yelland. Based on existing data, "we would have been surprised not to have found evidence of minor cognitive (brain) impairment" in those who were not treated.
Actress Jennifer Esposito was one of those baffled by how her entire body was impacted by celiac disease. In an exclusive interview, she told me that when she received her diagnosis, she "realized just how much my life would have to change. There is so much more to celiac disease than just cutting out bread and pasta from your diet."
However, she emphasizes that for someone with celiac disease, more is involved than a gluten-free diet. "Just one eighth of a teaspoon of gluten can have me sick for days," Jennifer revealed.
She's authored a book to help others. Entitled "Jennifer's Way: My Journey with Celiac Disease--What Doctors Don't Tell You and How You Can Learn to Live Again," it reveals why the condition is so "hard to define and diagnose. Most people who have celiac disease also form allergies to other foods. That's why it's so important for us to be on a rotation diet, which I talk a lot about in my book.
And Jennifer emphasizes the need to be careful when traveling. "Socially, it's difficult to go to a friend's house for dinner, or an event because I have to be so careful what I eat. It's difficult to travel because everywhere I go I need a kitchen that hasn't been cross-contaminated, which makes holidays like Thanksgiving very difficult."
The benefits of gluten-free diets aren't limited to those with celiac, however, says Dr. David Perlmutter. He revealed why he feels everyone can benefit from eliminating grains and boosting fat in an exclusive interview.
Author of "Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar--Your Brain's Silent Killers," Dr. Perlmutter recommends a high fat low carb diet for weight loss and health. Restricting carbohydrates can make a dramatic difference based the latest research.
"For most people, keeping total carbohydrates to around 60 to 80 g per day offers up the best in terms of keeping blood sugar in check and allowing weight loss and ultimately weight stabilization," he said. He suggests consuming 70 percent of your calories from "fat, including olive oil, nuts, seeds, grass fed beef, fish, and pasture raised eggs."
However, while he does recommend eliminating grains, he notes that "the Grain Brain diet is not focused on the idea of '10 strips of bacon topped with a stick of butter' mentality. Truly, for the most part, the Grain Brain program emphasizes lots of above ground, low starch vegetables, with the meat part of the meal being relegated to being the side dish or garnish."
And that diet applies to children as well, says Dr. Perlmutter. "As far as children are concerned, when their diets are changed as described in Grain Brain, their results are really quite remarkable as positive changes happen so much more quickly compared to us older adults."
While the scientists who conducted the celiac and brain fog study limited their results to those with the condition, Dr. Perlmutter noted that in his practice, he sees patients with a wide range of concerns respond to his diet plan.
"I continue to practice medicine," he said. "I treat patients each day with things like depression and Alzheimer's disease and watching patients respond to a low carbohydrate higher fat diet in terms of these and other issues has been incredibly exciting."
In addition to his own experience, "current well-respected scientific literature has made it clear that powering the brain with fat as opposed to carbohydrates offers the brain the best fuel to function at its highest level," says Dr. Perlmutter, who has an upcoming book "The Grain Brain Cookbook: More Than 150 Life-Changing Gluten-Free Recipes to Transform Your Health." He feels the concept of "healthy" whole grains should be discarded.
"Humans have always eaten a higher fat diet with minimal carbohydrates, as throughout our history carbohydrates were essentially never available in any significant quantity. It is absolutely time that we welcome fat back to the table, and abandon carbohydrates which are basically toxic to human physiology," he said.

Oral Fixation
Welcome to Oral Fixation, Dallas' newest live storytelling series. Think of This American Life on NPR….live and starring our very own Dallas citizens!
Presented by Nicole Stewart, Oral Fixation is a series of hour-long evenings of TRUE, personal stories, each with a new theme performed by a cross-section of seven Dallasites.
Oral Fixation's mission is to bring together the Dallas community
through sharing true, personal stories.
The seed that grew into Oral Fixation was first planted in Los Angeles, California when then-actress Nicole Stewart's agent dumped her. Shortly after, she met several producers of SPARK OFF ROSE, who encouraged her to attend one of their monthly storytelling events in Santa Monica. It was there that she fell in love with the medium of real people sharing their true life stories onstage.
The next step was for Nicole to share one of her own stories at SPARK. She read three stories for SPARK and two more for TASTY WORDS over her last two years in Los Angeles. The feeling of stepping out from behind a character and getting to know herself better by excavating stories from her own life was addictive. And she loved the feeling of community she enjoyed in the receptions after the shows- the way complete strangers could bond over similar experiences, the chemistry of bravely sharing with active listening resulting in everyone present feeling a little less alone.
Nicole moved back to her hometown of Dallas, Texas in September 2009 after 12 years away. She felt a void- no longer desiring to pursue acting as a creative outlet, she yearned for the magic of storytelling to bring her close again to the Dallas community. Over the next year, she explored different pockets of Dallas society: theatre and film communities, the art scene, ladies who lunch, high society fundraising events in addition to volunteering with lower income communities near her neighborhood in East Dallas. Everyone around her seemed excited about all the changes Dallas was embracing, the new world class arts district being the first on the list. And so what better time to reintroduce Dallas to the ancient art of storytelling?
Luck would have it that Lacy Lynch, a young literary agent with passion for theatre, came into Nicole's life. The two clicked immediately and Nicole professed her desire to create a storytelling event in Dallas. Lacy loved the concept and vowed to help her get it off the ground. Together, they produced THE MOST: A Night of Stories which played five shows to well-sold crowds in 2010-2011 at the historic Magnolia Lounge in Fair Park. THE MOST fell under the wing of Nouveau 47 Theatre, then in their first season. The beta test was a success. Lacy then moved to New York to study playwriting and acting at The Actor's Studio and Nicole decided to move forward in her own way.
What Oral Fixation brings to the table that makes it stand out is twofold: first, every theme is an idiom in the English language, a phrase we use often that has both a literal and a figurative meaning. Secondly, the evening of stories is curated and edited by Nicole. She solicits submissions from the general public by publishing her season of themes in advance along with suggestions as to potential takes on the theme. Then, from the submissions, she selects a variety of points of view (different ages, genders, races, socio-economic backgrounds, etc) to create an hourlong evening of stories that will take the audience on a ride from laughing in recognition of shared experiences to poignant moments of courageous exposure of flaws to laugh-out loud incredible moments that would seem too good to be true. Of course, they are all true- that is another wonderful rule in the world of Oral Fixation. As we all know, memory can be tricky so let's revise that. All stories are true to the memory of the individual sharing. The audience gets to participate in putting together the puzzle pieces of the evening- how does this story fit in with the theme? Ah, now I get it! It's pretty satisfying.
Oral Fixation owes its inspiration to the vibrant storytelling scene in Los Angeles (primarily SPARK OFF ROSE and Tasty Words) which was largely influenced by the groundbreaking story event The Moth ("true stories told live without notes") in New York City and of course, the famous radio program on National Public Radio, This American Life, ("mostly true stories of everyday people"). But Nicole credits her love of story to listening to cowboys read poetry around the campfire as an "Indian Princess" growing up in Texas.
Nicole set forth with her new beau and marketing guru in tow to create a live storytelling series called Oral Fixation (An Obsession with True Life Tales). Having admired the forward thinking artistic community at The McKinney Avenue Contemporary, Nicole visited the lovely women who run The MAC to gauge their interest in hosting the event. The concept fits right into The MAC's mission as a Dallas advocate for creative freedom offering the opportunity for experimentation and presentation of art in all disciplines. A wonderful working relationship was born, right in the heart of Uptown.
Shortly after the event venue was booked, the name was coined by Nicole's mentor and VP of Office of Cultural Affairs, Gail Sachson of Ask Me about Art. The logo, the brainchild of talented movie poster designer and filmmaker, Yen Tan, followed. All flyers, social media, and this website are designed by beau-turned-husband Anton Schlesinger. With the aid of avid storyteller Mac Lower and scenic designer Randel Wright, Season 1 of Oral Fixation went from modest to mogul: selling out the 130-seat space, with fans on a waiting list. The show received many glowing reviews and Nicole received two major recognitions from Dallas Observer.
The goal of Season 2 was to avoid the sophomore slump and prove to the Dallas community that Oral Fixation can consistently deliver a high-quality evening of entertainment that is new and fresh every month. We took on the challenge of producing eight shows in eight months, including the new concept "Best of Season 1" which featured seven stand-out stories from the previous season. Season 2 kicked things off with "Baby Steps," a sold-out show on Election Day 2012. The number of submissions per show increased two-fold over the course of the season and as as result, the stories kept getting better and better. "Under the Gun" was of particular note as it was an entirely dramatic show that gave voice to the very serious consequences of gun violence.
We initiated a blog that gives fans a window behind the scenes at Oral Fixation as well as highlights storytelling activity across the nation. Our Season 2 intern, Alia Tavakolian, got our Twitter presence going with quotes from stories and casting announcements. We launched our podcast series and released Season 1 stories on our YouTube channel. We ended the season on the rooftop patio of Sundown at the Granada where we held our Season 2 Wrap Party, co-sponsored by The Granada Theater and Dallas Observer Mixmaster.
As the third season commences, Oral Fixation is stepping up! We're honored to bring live storytelling to our new Season 3 partner, AT&T Performing Arts Center. Our new home is Hamon Hall in the Winspear Opera House. With almost 100 more seats, state-of-the-art theatrical resources and the support of the top performing arts entity in Dallas, we know that Season 3 is going to be awesome! We're integrating Oral Fixation membership levels, season tickets and a new video package at the top of each show that gives the audience a sneak peek at the storytellers who are about to bare their souls.
Longer-term goals include a radio show, a publishing deal to get these incredible stories in print, and an educational curriculum designed to improve students writing and give them an opportunity to express themselves in a unique way.

Charley Molnar Quotes From Weekly MAC Media Teleconference (Sept. 9)
Sept. 10, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - UMass football head coach Charley Molnar spoke with media members on Monday morning during MAC Coaches Media Teleconference following week two of the season. Molnar recapped the Maine game and previewed what the Minutemen will face against Kansas State this weekend.
Monday also featured a special night for the UMass Football Radio Show which was live from the Hangar Pub & Grill and featured player guests Vincent Westcarr and Joe Colton.
Recapping last Saturday's game vs. Maine:
On team's positive play early in the game against Maine:
We have had a couple of interceptions in the first two games. I'm glad about that. Obviously, every defense is trying to accumulate as many turnovers as it can and I think our defense is aggressive. We will continue to try and play the ball in the air and help get the ball for the offense or score on defense. Offensively, we are not very far off. It's only a matter of time before we hit on all cylinders, then we will have an improved product offensively.
On the challenges that Kansas State presents:
On message to team this week:

South African Social News Round Up – laaikit vs muti
laaikit the new kid in the social news/bookmarking space by News24 was launched late last year. They have all the typical features you would expect for a social news site such as voting up/down and comments. The categories under which sites can be classified are exactly like the news24 site. So how does it match up to muti?
- The default view shows 'upcoming' links, this promotes new content
- Submissions are split by different categories, allowing you to narrow down on what you want
- Allow you to see what's popular for a specific time period
— Negatives
- Registration is cumbersome with 12 required fields which includes things like your home language.
- The site has actually been developed by news24 which runs one of the most visited web sites in South Africa this puts other sites that submit to laaikit at a disadvantage.
- I doubt other media companies would actually link there since this would be directing traffic to their competitor.
Muti was the first social news site catering for South Africa and has been around since 2006. Growth and voting on the site seems to have increased recently as well.
++ Positives
- Registration is simple and only takes only a few seconds.
- Manual Submission is quick and easy as well.
- Lets anyone edit the tags on submissions, allowing irrelevant tags to be removed and new ones added.
- You can follow muti via twitter which lets you see all new submissions in real time. You can receive the updates anywhere such as IM, the Twitter web site and even SMS if it's really that important.
- Mobile Version launched
— Negatives
- Susceptible to spam with registration & submission
- Without categories browsing through the information is difficult, you only have tags & search to work with
The Verdict
muti is still the king of the hill, unfortunately the cumbersome registration is a deal breaker for laaikit. Add that to the fact that the site is owned by News24 and branded as such it will discourage other media companies from using it.
muti also has a unique feature called 'hooks' which allows anyone to interface with the site, however it is not clear how a registered user could access this service. We see other sites like Mixx launching API's as well while muti's hooks were released way back in 2006. The possibilities are endless with hooks, you could set it up to be alerted via email/twitter/sms anytime a particular keyword is used. This feature alone sets it apart from the 100's of sites out there and i have yet to see any other site that offers this.
* Since laakit is still in beta, i will revisit the topic if the site that is launched is significantly different from the beta version.

The Love Dogs travel from school to school sharing their message of tolerance and kindness with the Be Cool, Not Cruel anti-bully program. This initiative is targeted to first and second graders with the goal of reaching the children at a very young age. Through the eyes of the dogs, the children learn to appreciate differences and celebrate everyone's unique talents and strengths.
They also learn how to be gentle and kind and understand that "you don't have all be the same."
The more schools the program visits, the more amazing feedback is received from the children. Here is as sampling of what some children say after visiting with the Love Dogs:
- Thank you for teaching me how to pet a dog.
- I really like Petey because he gave me good dreams.
- Thank you for teaching me about all different kinds of dogs.
- Petey made me sad but then I saw how awesome he was even though he has no teeth!
- Thank you for showing us how to take care of dogs.
- I didn't know dogs have feelings.
-Thank you for teaching us about the spirit of love.
- The smiles and excitement on the faces of the children whenever they think about the Love Dogs is incredible - thank you for visiting our school!
- How do you keep the dogs so quiet???
- I learned how to be Cool not Cruel to people and dogs.
For more information about the Be Cool, Not Cruel program visit www.lovedogadventures.com.

The veteran Juventus goalkeeper hailed Chelsea's Brazilian prodigy for his second goal, while he was delighted with the Old Lady's comeback in West London.Gianluigi Buffon has lavished praise on Chelsea midfielder Oscar following his wonder strike against Juventus in Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in the UEFA Champions League opener for both sides.
The Serie A champion fell two goals behind following a double from the Brazilian, but it was his second of the night that caught the imagination of the Bianconeri No.1, as while he did not approve of his net being breached, he was impressed by the quality of the finish.
"Oscar turned on a sixpence and put the ball under the bar," Buffon told UEFA.com after the game. "I won't say it's nice to concede a goal, but it's still nice to be a part of a great goal like that. Compliments to him."
The goalkeeper then went onto express his satisfaction with Juve's second-half comeback, as Arturo Vidal and Fabio Quagliarella scored late on to rescue a point in the club's return to the European competition.
"We are happy to be here," Buffon said. "It is two years since we've been in this tournament and two years of disappointment, but last year we had a great season and we deserved to be here this evening.
"We played a good match and deserved to draw, and as such we are very happy. They also had chances to score, but in the end we played well, attacked and tried to win. A draw isn't a bad result."
Juventus resumes league action on Saturday, hosting Chievo Verona.

Box Office: 'Terminator Salvation' Hauls Less Than Expected
Although most expected Terminator Salvation to top the box office on its opening weekend it was not to be.
Ben Stiller's Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian took the number one spot ahead of Terminator with a $53.5M take across its Friday-Sunday opening run – some $20M more than the first Night at the Musueum movie.
Terminator Salvation is estimated to have taken $43M for the same stretch – roughly $1M less than what its predecessor Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines managed six years ago.
The numbers don't reflect Terminator's full opening haul. Terminator opened a day ahead of Smithsonian which added an additional $13.4M to Terminator's total estimated gross, effectively taking its tally to $56.4M.
Most pundits expected Terminator Salvation to top $70M but it was not to be. Smithsonian proved a stronger competitor than anticipated whilst Salvation had to also deal with a still strong Star Trek ($22M) and Angels & Demons with $21.4M.
In the face of a $200M budget, Terminator's opening box office tally is a disappointment for Warner Bros. Warner's only comment was to indicate that the film was also hurt by competition from real world events such as the National Basketball Association playoffs which they claim hurt business in cities like Los Angeles.

UA donors slow to give for president's office
TUCSON, AZ - Donations have been hard to come by for a project to renovate a University of Arizona building that will house a new executive office suite for the school's president.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that only $2.7 million has been raised for the renovations at Old Main, the Tucson campus' 1891 landmark building, since April 2013.
The work includes renovating the space that will house the suite and repairing a damaged foundation and veranda.
Some alumni say they don't see why money should be spent on moving President Ann Weaver Hart and her staff into the suite.
University spokesman Chris Sigurdson says most people think the move is a natural fit.
The Board of Regents approved the $13.5 million renovation on the condition it be paid entirely with donations.

Digitalsmiths Report Includes Real Feedback Regarding New Video Services and Next Generation Improvements to the Pay-TV Experience
Billy Purser
Director of Marketing
(919) 414-9834
Digitalsmiths, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO), a leader in personalized video search and recommendations, today announced the results of its Q4 2013 Video Trends Report, which found that almost one-third (30.9 percent) of consumers surveyed are overwhelmed by the number of channels offered to them and 88.2 percent consistently watch the same channels. Despite the ever growing choice of Pay-TV content, 46% percent of respondents spend 10 minutes or more channel surfing per day, but a resounding 80.3% of consumers still watch only 10 or fewer channels.
"Consumers are increasingly frustrated with the user experience delivered by Pay-TV providers," said Ben Weinberger, co-founder of Digitalsmiths. "Leading providers strive to address this ongoing issue by creating intuitive, second screen applications that support next generation video discovery solutions. However, with the vast majority of content viewing still happening via the set-top box, until next generation IP based set-top boxes are deployed to the masses, consumer frustration may lead to increased departures to third-party service providers."
Each quarter, Digitalsmiths' online survey elicits actual consumer opinions to uncover key trends facing the media/entertainment industry. The survey has become an important way to track consumer trends over time, offering Pay-TV providers real, unbiased feedback regarding consumers' behaviors, outlook on the industry and expectations for future technologies coming to market.
The Q4 2013 survey results appear to build on a trend Digitalsmiths identified in Q2 2013 dubbed "cord-cheating." This behavior is represented by 45.3% of respondents who viewed on-demand content from third-party video services and OTT services as an alternative to their Pay-TV provider's on-demand offerings.
Based on several quarters of data, VOD rentals from Pay-TV providers are appearing to level off, with a consistent 72% to 73% ordering zero movies from their Pay-TV providers. Digitalsmiths believes this is an enormous threat, and one that speaks to the need for consumer-facing improvements.
However, some positive news for cable/satellite providers is that only 19.6% of respondents are unhappy with their current provider. While dissatisfaction issues decreased slightly for the third quarter in a row, the top two reasons remain the same: "increasing fees for cable/satellite service" and "increasing fees for Internet service." Following in a close third was "bad channel selection."
The Q4 2013 survey covers a variety of key industry topics regarding Pay-TV services, TV viewing habits, TV everywhere offerings, second screen apps, video discovery features and more. Download this free report by visiting: http://www.digitalsmiths.com/discoveryreport-13q4-web/
Survey Information
Digitalsmiths conducted an online survey of over 3,140 people, all of which were 18 or older in age and reside in the United States or Canada. The survey was conducted from December 18, 2013 to December 23, 2013, and the results were analyzed in Q1 2014.

What two fashion staples have collided to create the newest "must have" of the season? The jean and the legging have come together to create the "jegging". This hybrid of fashion combines the versatility of denim and the comfort and ease of the legging. The skinny jean has been a wildly popular addition to many wardrobes, so it was only a matter of time until this hybrid hit the scene.
Jeggings have been seen all over the Twin Cities, largely because of their ability to be layered so easily. For the winter months, they provide a great basis to top off with over-sized sweater or cardigan. Also, many of the Minneapolis fashionistas are wearing these as a the core of their layering for our blustery days. This new pant choice comes in many variartions of color and also thickness, so you can pick the type of coverage and warmth you would prefer.
You can find jeggings in many boutiques and stores throughout the metro. Just a few places to start your jeggings journey: INC jeggings at Macy's ($59); Express jeggings ($49.50); and Hue jeggings at Bloomingdales ($34). Remember to choose the look that fits your comfort level and enjoy the new season of the jegging!

Over the last few years the SyFy Channel has been stepping up its game and delivering some great shows including Battlestar Galactica, Lost Girl, Being Human, and Defiance to name a few. Now they are taking the 2010 film Legion and bringing it to TV in the all-new series Dominion.
The series takes place 25 years after "The Extinction War," when an army of lower angels, assembled by the archangel Gabriel, waged war against mankind. The archangel Michael, turning against his own kind, chose to side with humanity. Rising out of the ashes of this long battle are newly fortified cities which protect human survivors. At the center of the series is the city of Vega, a glistening empire that has formed from the ruins of what was once Las Vegas.
The series stars Christopher Egan, Tom Wisdom, Langley Kirkwood, Roxanne McKee, Alan Dale, Anthony Head, Luke Allen-Gale, Shivani Ghai, Rosalind Halstead, and Carl Beukes.
Prepare for the war to spill out of Heaven and onto Earth when Dominion premieres on June 19th on SyFy.

Bay County is celebrating it's 100th anniversary this year and the supervisor of elections, Mark Andersen, is preparing for a historical lesson in local elections that might shock some.
Andersen and his employees have been working on the project for two months and during the process, they stumbled upon some old ballots and documents that tells the eye-opening story of unequal treatment for women and minorities.
"Just the history of Bay County is amazing what I've learned you know, what I thought I knew compared to what I do know now," said David Solots, a precinct election official. "Just so many things that have changed my outlook on how the county was set up and all that."
Several items caught Solots by surprise, like the amazing accuracy of the work, even though elections were all done by hand, but other things were more shocking.
"A lot is just the small areas of town that no longer exist is one of the main things for me," said Solots. "There's 3 towns that are now a part of Tyndall Air Force Base that actually Tyndall says you're not a town anymore and asks them to leave basically. The cemeteries are still there and that's it."
But for others doing research, some of the more eye-opening information deals with how information was sorted.
"I didn't know that they put the races in the books until just going through the books and looking at the C's and W's," said production room deputy, Angela Speights.
You pick up pieces where it does set you back a bit and you start reading letters that are coming from the state where it says white democrat, colored democrat, white republican, colored republican, prohibition party and other parties," said Bay County Elections Supervisor Mark Andersen, while looking over the documents. "It really makes you start digging and looking in other areas."
Andersen says they hope to open the exhibit to the public in June. It will include information on elected officials and the first women voters in the area.

Contacting OCLC
There are many ways to contact OCLC about issues with WorldCat, the most common being while viewing a bibliographic record in Connexion and choosing Report Error from under the Action menu.
The Report Error window is free-text so questions or concerns can be sent just as easily as a merge request or an error report. The window also sends us a copy of the record being viewed as it appeared at the time the window was opened, and allows the sender to have a copy sent to a personal email address.
Basically, if you are a cataloger, or working with cataloging data and you need to contact OCLC simply send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com (or use the Report Error function in Connexion which sends to that address).
QC staff also provides NACO work for non-participating institutions. If you are not at a NACO library you can request changes to authority records or report duplicate records while viewing an authority record in Connexion. In this case the Report Error function sends to firstname.lastname@example.com (or you can email directly). We also create authority records to resolve existing conflicts. If you are at a NACO library please see the NACO website for assistance http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/naco.html
email@example.com is an address to help users with more esoteric types of questions. Typical queries to this address are about cataloging policies, standards, and practices. This email address is more for asking advice instead of about fixing specific bibliographic information in existing records. Users may send suggestions and concerns that involve groups such as the Program for Cooperative Cataloging to http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/.
If you are interested in OCLC quality programs like Enhance http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/quality/default.htm or are already a participant you can reach the appropriate staff at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Contact Support under the Help menu in Connexion opens a form which is also free-text. However, this form is intended for problems related to how Connexion works (e.g. saving a record results in an error message; the menu bar in Connexion Client disappeared; how do I ... create a macro.. customize the Toolbar... work offline, etc.). Questions arising from products other than Connexion should also be sent to email@example.com. For instance, cover art issues are common, but those only arise when using products like FirstSearch or WorldCat.org.
Support takes such queries and helps when it can or forwards to the appropriate area. If a question comes to them about fixing a record, merging duplicates, validation issues, etc. they will forward to QC staff.
Documentation can be found here:
Bibliographic Formats and Standards Ch. 5 which includes instructions on what kinds of errors to report, and how and where to do so.
WorldCat and Cataloging documentation
Librarian's Toolbox:
Email addresses discussed above:
firstname.lastname@example.com = ask questions about bibliographic records, report bibliographic errors you cannot correct, report duplicate bibliographic records, cataloging issues in general, etc.
email@example.com = non-NACO libraries: report authority record errors or duplicates, etc. ; NACO libraries: questions about locked authority records, discrepancies between copies of the file, authorization number issues, etc.
firstname.lastname@example.com = cataloging policy, standards, and practices questions
firstname.lastname@example.com = all things Enhance (including authorization number issues, National Enhance, etc.)
firstname.lastname@example.com = Connexion functionality problems, issues with other products, cover art, anything not listed above.
Please send any questions or concerns to: email@example.com
Staying Current with Cataloging Topics
OCLC provides numerous ways to assist users with current cataloging topics and issues. "TALK" http://www.oclc.org/community/talk/default.htm points to several venues with specific information and ways to sign-up for the many email updates, discussion lists, RSS feeds, and blogs that are available.
For instance, OCLC Abstracts provides a weekly summary of service news, tips, event reminders, and more http://www.oclc.org/email/subscribe.htm. Or, choose OCLC Cooperative eNews if you prefer to receive information less frequently.
OCLC-CAT is a discussion forum especially for library staff using or considering any OCLC cataloging and metadata service https://www3.oclc.org/app/listserv/. Official notices are always distributed on OCLC-CAT such as recent announcements about the latest upgrade to Connexion, and the upcoming webinar about Genre Headings. And, TECHBUL-L is the most convenient way to be notified of the latest enhancements to MARC and how to apply them in Connexion.
There are also blogs located throughout the OCLC website. Check out the OCLC Cooperative Blog: insights and information from OCLC staff on topics that are fundamental to your cooperative http://community.oclc.org/cooperative/. OCLC's bloggers continually scan the library landscape and beyond from a variety of viewpoints, looking for news, ideas, and other information of potential interest to the library community.
The Message of the Day is included in the greeting window when you logon to Connexion. The message changes daily and can be accessed at any time under the View menu. Or search News, also located under the View menu.
Finally, be sure to check out the Recent Web sessions and recorded presentations page located under the Expert Community area http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/quality/expert/websessions.htm. This listing is specific to the cataloging community and complements the standard support tutorials http://www.oclc.org/support/training/connexion/
Please send any questions or concerns to: email@example.com
OCLC's "Bibliographic Formats and Standards"
OCLC's "Bibliographic Formats and Standards" (BFAS) http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/ is a guide to machine-readable cataloging records in WorldCat. It provides tagging conventions, input standards, cataloging practices, and guidelines for entering information into WorldCat. In Chapter 2, there is detailed information on original and copy cataloging, as well as comparisons between the different levels of cataloging found in WorldCat. Chapter 3 provides guidelines on special cataloging topics such as "In" analytics, Theses, Parallel records, Electronic resources, etc.
To promote a common basis for decision-making and creation of a useful database, OCLC and its advisory groups established guidelines for inputting new records into WorldCat which are covered in Chapter 4 'When to Input a New Record'. Chapter 5 is 'Quality Assurance'. This chapter provides guidelines on how to participate in OCLC's quality programs such as database enrichment, how to edit records in WorldCat, or, report errors to OCLC's Quality Control. Other chapters provide MARC field and subfield coding. Each section includes the input standards noted at the top of the screen for full and less-than-full level cataloging and many examples. The examples provided are illustrative, not prescriptive.
For the very latest information see the Technical Bulletins list . TB 258 explains in detail the new fields, subfields, search indexes, etc. added for MARC Format Update 2010. Many of the changes are related to the scheduled testing and possible future implementation of Resource Description and Access (RDA), the proposed successor to AACR2.

Exorcism deaths are horrifying readers today after it was confirmed that a young Maryland mother stabbed and killed 2 of her children this week. She then proceeded to stab her 2 others in a brutal attempted form of an exorcist ritual, though the latter's wounds were not fatal. Local police have confirmed that they have the 28-year-old Zakieya Avery in custody and are charging her with a pair of separate counts of first-degree murder, in addition to another 2 counts of attempted murder. The Inquisitr shares the frightening details of this shocking case this Monday, Jan. 20, 2014.
The exorcism deaths may have involved a second woman taking part in the alleged exorcisms, but little information has been provided at this time on that front. The two victims of this terrible and brutal murder were 1-year-old Norrell Harris and his older sister Zyana Harris, only 2 years of age. Both children were said to be stabbed and slain by their mother while she was in a deranged state and believed that demons had possessed them. Both kids were killed, while the mother's other children were also injured and have been rushed to local hospitals to be treated for their stab wounds. Their names have not been released, but none of them were over 10 years of age.
According to County police Chief Tom Manger in a statement about the double murder and exorcism deaths: "Cases like this are heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims."
An emergency call was made this Friday morning from a neighbor, who grew suspicious when she said she saw "strange activity" happening over at the Avery home. She noticed a car was parked out in front of the house, while a door was open and a knife out in clear view.
Details of the exorcist ritual or brutal exorcism deaths have not been cited by local authorities at this time. However, suspects did say that the 28-year-old mother and likely another woman (thought to be a female accomplice in the slaying) were trying to execute a ritual ceremony that would be used to cast out evil demons and dark spirits from their children. In essence, by killing her children, Avery hoped to "set them free," said the report.
The police concluded: "Investigators have learned that the two defendants believed that they were performing an exorcism on the 4 children. The investigation into this motive and other aspects of the crime continue at this point."
The police continue to investigate, and again suspect that the other woman likely played a major role in the fatal stabbing of the children due to her presence at the crime scene: "Prior to officers arriving, two women exited the townhouse, retrieved the child and re-entered the home. Officers attempted to speak with the residents, but received no response at the door. "

Suppose I am building a Linked Data client app based on Python and RDFLib, and I want to do some reasoning. Most likely I have a few vocabularies that are dear to my heart, and want to do RDFS reasoning with them, i.e. materialize superclass membership, superproperty values etc. I also want to handle
The graphs I will be working with are rather small, let's say on the order of 10,000 triples (all stored in memory), but I need to reason in real-time (e.g. my client is an end-user app that works with Linked Data) and so delays should be small.
But most importantly, the solution has to be as easy to use as possible. Ideally:
What are my best options?
What is the situation with other platforms/libraries? (Java doesn't count as all reasoning tools seem to be designed for it)
asked 22 Jul '10, 22:37
Vasiliy Faronov
As for RDFLib, I'd suggest you take a look at FuXi. It was developed to directly address SW reasoning in Python with RDFLib. I'd read the end user manual. In addition to RDFS, it can handle OWL 2 RL, SPARQL entailment via both forward and backward chaining.
answered 23 Jul '10, 02:28
FuXi seems promising, but so far I've been unable to make it work. I guess I'll write to the mailing list detailing my misfortunes. Are there any practical examples around of using FuXi in the way I described?
(23 Jul '10, 07:45) Vasiliy Faronov
Yes, please email the mailing list. There are examples (http://groups.google.com/group/fuxi-discussion/browse_thread/thread/f57c0709fbbb0547) in the list of using the FuXi command-line, though it seems you are more interested in examples of the API.
(23 Jul '10, 12:36) chimezie
I've managed to get FuXi working, and although more difficult to set up, it seems much more efficient and flexible than RDFClosure. So I'm marking this as the answer.
(25 Jul '10, 19:59) Vasiliy Faronov
Okay, good to here. Please send any insights about how to make the install, documentation, etc. better to the mailing list.

Michael Schn... ♦
I've not yet tried RDFClosure, because it is not compatible with RDFLib 3.0, but the earlier RDFSClosure (which seems to now be a module inside the more complete RDFClosure) is somewhat slow. Being a "brute-force" approach as Ivan himself puts it, it takes a few seconds (on a modern desktop machine) to produce an RDFS-only closure for a small graph of real-world SIOC data + SIOC vocabulary description. I'm afraid this will be too long for some applications. (That said, it does seem to be the easiest approach at present.)
(23 Jul '10, 07:25) Vasiliy Faronov
Just checked RDFClosure-4.1. Computing the OWL 2 RL closure for a 1018 triple graph is intractable (killed off after a couple of minutes, the graph had 130,000+ triples by then). RDFS still computes in a couple of seconds, and doesn't include owl:sameAs, of course.

Uefa says it will "appeal all the sanctions" handed out after October's controversial under 21 match between Serbia and England.
21:47, UK, Wednesday 26 December 2012
Uefa is set to appeal against the sanctions its own disciplinary body handed out after the Serbia versus England Under 21 game in October.
The appeal includes the punishments imposed for racist abuse by Serbian supporters.
Serbia was fined £65,000 and their Under 21 team was ordered to play a game behind closed doors.
The punishment for the incidents at the Mladost Stadium in Krusevac on October 16 were criticised for being too lenient.
England player Danny Rose complained he was racially abused by Serbia supporters before, during and after the game.
England scored with the last kick of the match, and fighting broke out between players and officials immediately after the final whistle.
There were also punishments for Steven Caulker and Tom Ince, who received two and one-match bans respectively for their involvement in the brawl.
The FA criticised Uefa for not sending a "strong enough message" after the punishments were handed out.
Uefa said in a statement on its website: "Uefa, via the Uefa disciplinary inspector appointed to the case, has decided to appeal all the sanctions."

Gold pendant, the bow with acanthus leaf decoration. Dial: A gilt-brass dial plate carries a white enamel dial with a minute circle around the outside numbered 5-60, hours I-XII and an inner circle. The dial is signed STRIGEL LONDON above and below the centre. Gold spade-pattern hour and minute hands, the minute hand now lacking its end. Movement: Gilt-brass plates with four square baluster pillars. Gilt-brass barrel with tangent screw set-up between the plates. Fusee with chain and standard stop-work, the block elaborately pierced.

The screwed-on potence has a straight moulded foot. Steel three-arm balance with a spiral balance spring and Tompion regulator, the silver index disc engraved I-VI. The table and foot of the balance cock are both pierced and engraved with foliate scrolls. The movement is signed: Geo. Phil. Strigel BBFM London George Philip Strigel (1718 - 1798). Given Honorary Freedom in the Clockmakers' Company in 1781 had his business in Stafford Row, Pimlico and also at 10 Ranelagh Street, Lower Grosvenor Place, London. Watchmaker to Queen Charlotte. The case-makers are possibly John Ward of Boars Head Court, Fleet Street, London for the inner case and possibly James Richards of Red Lion Court, Silver Street, London for the outer case. Provenance: The Horne family (see note 2 below) Purchased by friends and colleagues with the aid of the MGC/V&A Purchase Grant Fund and the Friends of the Ashmolean, to mark the retirement of Gerald Taylor, Senior Assistant Keeper in the Department of Western Art in the Ashmolean Museum. Notes: 1. The letter code used by Strigel has not been deciphered. It could be a code for the date of the watch but given that the first two letters are the same it is more likely to be a coded serial number in the tradition of makers such as Langley Bradbury, Benjamin Gray and Justin Vulliamy who used coded numbers earlier in the century. 2. The armorial bearings are thought to be those of the Horne family. The shield of arms can be interpreted as - parted per pale, dexter quarterly 1st and 4th a chevron engrailed between three unicorn heads erased, 2nd and 3rd a chevron between three fleur-de-lis, sinister a lion rampant between three trefoils. The first and fourth quarters on the dexter side are likely to be - Argent a chevron engrailed between three unicorn heads erased azure. The arms of Edmund Horne of Saresden House Oxfordshire. The quartering and impaling of the arms suggests a descendent of the Horne family marrying an heiress entitled to bear the arms shown on the sinister side of the shield.
Purchased by friends and colleagues of Gerald Taylor, in celebration of his 42 year career in the Ashmolean, with the assistance of the Friends of Ashmolean, MGC/V&A Purchase grant Fund, 1991.

Just wonder if anyone has tried adding damping sheets to the inside walls of speaker enclosures ? and was it a waste of time.
Just wonder if anyone has tried adding damping sheets to the inside walls of speaker enclosures ? and was it a waste of time.
It will change things for better or worse if they have enough mass.
If you have thinwalled undbraced panels the resonances will drop in frequency and may increase in amplitude. If that is an intrinsic part of the design like the Spendor BC1 it is a good thing, if it not taken into account it is bad thing. Take a look at the link below (google translator is your friend if your german is not up to it). I use the combination of softboard 12mm and 10mm felt.
I use heavy roofing felt with stone chippings, stuck down with WATER based adhesive. Do not use solvent based adhesive, you will regret it!
This method has reduced cabinet vibrations in my builds, but it is only one part of the treatment, so YMMV.
Oh, and looking at the link posted above, you will see that ceramic tiles had a strong effect; I have used large 15mm limestone slabs as the outside covering as well, and that pretty much killed anything coming out through the panels.

Artist Details
Luz Mob
With a throw-back to 70s soundtracks, Luz Mob packs a multi-textured pan-Latin & Caribbean album with wild beats and rich rhythms perfect for a fabulous cocktail party.
Luz Mob is Luz Fleming, who draws from his upbringing and surroundings in urban San Francisco, Oakland, Brooklyn as well as rural Libré, Colorado to thread together a quilt of disparate styles. Studying under musical heavyweights such as Reggie Workman and Bill Dixon, Luz was influenced not only by improvisation and performance, but also by the hip-hop aesthetic he absorbed growing up in San Francisco's Mission District. This all seeps out in various guises in Luz's music; from his alto and baritone saxophone and bass clarinet constructions, to more dub and hip-hop rooted electronic production. Along with his 9-piece orchestra, he crosses different musical spectrums, infusing them with a healthy smattering of bumping beats.

Jon Gosselin's ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman is hoping Jon will ask his new girlfriend Morgan Christie to marry him so he can afford to pay Hailey back the $200,000 dollars she says he owes her.
See video of the interview below.
Hailey sat down with her lawyer and told MyFoxNY.com that she is going after Jon for the money he owes her. She says she has signed documents and that Jon has two choices. He can either pay her back right away through their lawyers or she will take him to court and and then he can pay out even more money to lawyers.
Hailey hasn't lost her sense of humor. Knocking on the table and then asking, "Hey Jon do you know who that is at your door? That's karma knocking."
Asked if she would ever go back with Jon she quipped, "No I would rather be happy"
