NBC revealed the final 20 team contestants for its hit singing competition "The Voice" on Wednesday. The newly announced contestants join 12 others who were previously announced.
Through the course of the season, the 32 contestants will be whittled down to four finalists — one each for the show's music coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
The season champion will receive $100,000 and a recording contract from Universal Music Group.

"The Voice" itself has already proven to be a winner with audiences, landing the top ratings spot for the second week in a row on Tuesday following its April 26 premiere.
Read NBC's full press release below.
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – May 4, 2011 – NBC named the final 20 of its 32 selected team contestants who will move onto the next round of the new vocal competition series "The Voice" featuring its four musician coaches — Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
Much like today's music stars, the artists/contestants are encouraged to interact with viewers via social media to build a fan base. The fans will have an important role in the live performance shows, as they will have the opportunity to vote to save their favorites on each coach's team.
In the finals, each coach will have one artist/contestant left to represent them and that artist's fate will be in the viewer's hands. One of the four finalists will be named "The Voice" — and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract with Universal Music Group and $100,000.
The full list of 32 contestants (including the first 12 named last week) can be found on www.nbc.com/the-voice .

Last night's telecast of "The Voice" scored a 5.6 rating, 14 share in adults 18-49 and attracted 12.4 million viewers overall according to preliminary "fast affiliate" results from Nielsen Media Research. Last night's figures represent growth over the prior week's premiere results of 10 percent in adults 18-49 (with a 5.6 rating vs. a 5.1) and 5 percent in total viewers (12.377 million vs. 11.775 million). "The Voice" is the first new series on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox this season to grow from week one to week two in 18-49 rating or total viewers (excludes the strip series "Million Dollar Money Drop" and the special preview of "Perfect Couples"). Excluding sports, the 5.6 rating is NBC's highest in the time period since November 29, 2005 (7.1 for the second hour of the "Biggest Loser" finale and "SVU"). In total viewers, it's NBC's top non-sports result in the time period since September 1, 2009 (12.8 million for "America's Got Talent").
"The Voice" will be broadcast from 10-11 p.m. (ET) each Tuesday night on May 10, May 17 and May 24 following new episodes of "The Biggest Loser" (Tuesdays, 8-10 p.m. ET).
"The Voice" is a vocal competition series modeled after Holland's top-rated vocal talent discovery show, "The Voice of Holland." Hosted by Carson Daly, the show features four musician coaches, Aguilera, Green, Levine and Shelton, who will coach only the most talented vocalists.
NBC recently revealed that it will add more star-power to its new vocal competition series "The Voice" with singers Reba, Monica, Sia (Furler) and music producer Adam Blackstone joining the series as new advisers who will lend their experience and talents to musician coaches Aguilera, Green, Levine and Shelton.
Aguilera (@therealxtina) will team up with singer/songwriter Sia (@Siamusic), Levine (@adamlevine) with Blackstone (@bassicblack), Green (@CeeLoGreen) with singer Monica (@MonicaMyLife), and Shelton (@blakeshelton)with veteran singer Reba (@Reba) — eventually pitting two of their own team members against each other in a dueling duet.
Each of the musician coaches picked their closest advisers to help them at the next "battles" stage of the competition.
The show's innovative format features three stages of competition: the first begins with the blind audition, then the competition enters into a battle phase, and finally, the live performance shows. The show's casting team is working with the music industry for the best singers to bring to the blind audition process. During the blind auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not on looks. The coaches hear the contestants perform, but they don't get to see them — thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the contestant's voice, he/she pushes a button to select the contestant for his/her team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that he/she can face the contestant he/she has selected.
Once the teams are set, the battle is on. Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their singers, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success. During the battle rounds the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal face-off, the coach must choose which of his/her singers will advance.
At the end of the battle episodes, only the strongest members of each coach's roster remain and proceed to the live stage shows. In this final performance phase of the competition, the top contestants from each team will compete against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience will vote to save one talent on each team, leaving the coach to decide live who they want to save and who will not move on. From these four, one will be named "The Voice" — and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract and $100,000.
"The Voice" is a presentation of Mark Burnett's One Three Inc., Talpa Content USA, Inc. and Warner Horizon Television. The series is created by John de Mol, who will executive-produce along with Burnett, Audrey Morrissey and Stijn Bakkers.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 25 (UPI) -- Dark matter is everywhere. According to astronomers, it makes up some 80 percent of all matter in the universe. But since it doesn't absorb or emit light, scientists have never seen dark matter. They don't even know what it is exactly.
But a recent spike of x-rays originating from 70 different galaxy clusters has some scientists excited at the off chance it's a signal from decaying dark matter.
"We know that the dark matter explanation is a long shot, but the payoff would be huge if we're right," said Esra Bulbul, who led the research into the strange spike in x-ray emissions, recently published in The Astrophysical Journal.
"We're going to keep testing this interpretation and see where it takes us," added Bulbul -- an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Because it's never been seen or observed, what dark matter is composed of exactly is highly theoretical. So far, scientists best guess is that dark matter is made up of a sterile neutrinos -- a type of neutral, weakly interacting elementary subatomic particle.
The mysterious x-ray spike was picked up by the highly sensitive NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton satellite. But scientists say they need even more precise observations of the x-ray emissions if they're going to arrive at more definitive conclusions.
"We have a lot of work to do before we can claim, with any confidence, that we've found sterile neutrinos," admitted study co-author Maxim Markevitch, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "But just the possibility of finding them has us very excited."
"Our next step is to combine data from Chandra and JAXA's [the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's] Suzaku mission for a large number of galaxy clusters to see if we find the same X-ray signal," explained co-author Adam Foster, one of Bulbul's colleagues in Cambridge.
Though normal matter could be responsible for the spike, scientists say the pattern doesn't mesh well with how hot gases are understood to give off x-rays.

Adam. They can beat Shelley in comps and Adam is going to swing every week with the power.
This isnt the Sound of freaking Music were watching.......sdl
Are we sure Kalia doesn't still get a vote?

What is an "MFWalkoff?"
Yeah, she gets to vote. But Jordan and Rachel have the majority.

Shelly. Not because of the flip but because of the nastiness she brought with it. Not cool.

Shelly. She can't be trusted by anyone now, and Adam, if he knows he is safe will most likely throw the next HOH comp. Shelly won't throw it on purpose. And because it's sweet revenge sending her out now when she more than likely would have made it to F4. And I'm tired of looking at her. She irks me.
I hate when the cops throw me in the back of the squad car ....like they didnt hear me call shotgun.
Boy (n) : Noise with dirt on it.
I think if Shelley goes, and the numbers are then even (K/P vs. R/J), Adam may flip back to R/J. Not only are they at least as strong a duo as K/P, but he seemed genuinely upset about the collapse of the J/J/A/S alliance, and he knows that was the result of K/P/D getting Shelley to flip to their side. They may not be able to count on him for more than one week, but that's really all they need. If he helps them get rid of Porsche or Kalia next time, they're down to a final four, and at that point, it's generally pretty much everyone for themselves anyway. If he voted out Rachel or Jordan to get to the final three, and explained that he didn't think he could beat either of them, I don't think anyone could really argue with that. Shelley, on the other hand, has been playing both sides against the middle for far too long and no one can truly trust her anymore, not even for one week (or one minute).
Shelly, for the most excellent reasons Java and Tilden have already stated Not only will it be oh so satisfying to see the door hit her bony butt on the way out, but even if she is being absolutely honest at this point () R/J have no reason to trust her and Adam is a better shot to get them to F4. After that...game on!
"With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."
"I lost my dignity on a slippery wiener."
I picked Shelly because 1) she's untrustworthy and 2) I'd be afraid of her pulling the mom/family card if she made the final two and getting sympathy votes. Might not happen, but still...
It was me. I let the dogs out.

Tokyo (AFP) Dec 21, 2010
Japan's number two telecom operator KDDI Corp. said Tuesday it would start electronic book distribution this week, offering an initial 20,000 titles for its e-reader.
The LISMO Book Store service will start on Saturday for the "biblio Leaf SP02" e-reader, focusing on novels, how-to guides and business books, the company said.
The release follows a head-to-head launch by Sony and Sharp earlier this month of devices they hope will battle the likes of Apple, Amazon and Samsung in the highly competitive e-book and tablet computer market.
The initial line-up of 20,000 books will be expanded to 100,000 by the end of March 2012.
The tablet-size reader, initially available in western and southern Japan, is loaded with a memory of two gigabytes which can store data of roughly 3,000 books, KDDI said.
The e-book distribution service will eventually expand to smartphones.

Almost every city in West Virginia has its staple restaurants. These are the places where everyone goes to eat, catch up, and just hang out.
In Weston, it's Giovanni's Restaurant.
"We just try to cater to the locals," said Timothy Hamrick, co-owner. "Whatever they want, we try to do."
That philosophy is working for Giovanni's. It has attracted some very loyal customers over the past 50 years.
"It's good food," said Pat Turner, customer. "I've been a customer to these people for more then 15 years."
Carolyn Strum agrees.
"We know everybody," she said. "We come in and they have our coffee on the table before we sit down."
It's a Lewis County favorite and it doesn't just limit itself to one type of food.
"Calzones, pizzas, we do steaks, baby back ribs, prime rib," Hamrick said. "We do about anything really."
But its biggest seller?
"If I could eat anything I wanted to, I'd recommend the Giovanni Special," Strum said.
Hamrick calls it his repeat seller.
"It's a square steak patty, grilled, toasted bread, oliverio peppers and cheese," Hamrick said.
It's a place to watch sports, hold a business meeting, and catch up with friends.
"It's just very homey. I like that. It's secure," said Turner.
Giovanni's Restaurant is open every day except Mondays, from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.
It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is located on Route. 33 in Weston.

Tough-talking admin officials 'stepping on neck of BP'
BP used to stand for "British Petroleum." Now the company wants people to think "Beyond Petroleum." But in the eyes of the Obama administration it's starting to mean "blame petroleum."
They cannot cite a specific complaint beyond a desire that the company work faster to find a solution to the river of crude pouring out of its well. But Obama's Cabinet secretaries have started poking some verbal kidney punches at the oil giant.
That was most apparent on the Sunday talk shows when Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in two separate appearances used the imagery of a Wild West bar fight to describe how the administration was dealing with the company, whose well is shooting 5,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico.
"Our job is basically to keep the boot on the neck of British Petroleum," Salazar said, who often sports a Stetson and who four months ago stirred the ire of the oil business by saying unlike under his predecessors in the George W. Bush administration, oil companies would no longer be treated like "kings of the world." When he was a senator, he had to apologize after calling Christian conservative leader James Dobson "the antichrist of the world."
And Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs made clear yesterday that the step-on-the-neck image had the White House seal of approval.
"I think that kind of sums up in that Western Colorado way how -- what we're trying to convey," Gibbs said.
It was more subtle when Cabinet officials started calling the company "British Petroleum," a moniker that reflects the company's foreign ownership but also a name it shed in 2000, when it became BP Amoco. It later dropped Amoco and started using the "Beyond Petroleum" slogan.
When he spoke in Venice, La., yesterday, President Obama correctly referred to the company as BP, and stuck to the basic message regarding the company's role as the "responsible party." He said, "Let me be clear: BP is responsible for this leak; BP will be paying the bill."
But as Salazar, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows, each referred to BP at least once as "British Petroleum."
"British Petroleum needs to get the spill stopped," Napolitano said on "FOX News Sunday."
Administration officials hit nearly every talk show yesterday, emphasizing that while the federal government was on the job, BP would pay the tab. They also indicated frustration with the London-based oil company but did not raise specific criticisms beyond a desire that it work more quickly to find a solution to the confounding stream of pollution flowing from a mile below the surface.
The shots across the company's bow come as the administration has stepped up its involvement and started working furiously to show the federal government doing everything possible. The administration seems both fearful and enraged by comparisons to Hurricane Katrina, another Gulf Coast disaster, but one that claimed more than 1,800 lives.
The elbows are being thrown even as BP has sought to assure the Gulf Coast and the country that it takes responsibility for the response to the Deepwater Horizon spill and will pay compensation for legitimate claims for property damage, personal injury and commercial losses.
"We are responsible, not for the accident, but we are responsible for the oil and for dealing with it and cleaning the situation up," BP CEO Tony Hayward said today on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Science, Math, and Problem Solving, NASA style
January 22, 2013
Kids love space. The Sagan knew this. His acolytes the Nye and the deGrasse Tyson know this. One of the best ways to introduce kids to science is through space. It is so big and captivating, appealing to the sense of wonder kids still have, before they become jaded in their teenage years. If kids are introduced to space at the right time, it might even help mitigate the apathy so common in adolescence. So, it is in parents' best interests to introduce kids to science through space.
The Wisdom of The Sagan
When I was a kid, I wanted to go to Space Camp. I saw an advertisement for it in an issue of National Geographic World. The ad featured a kid in one of those disorientation chairs, which spins you around on multiple axes to simulate the disorientation one might feel in a mid-flight disaster. I'll be honest, that's what sold me. I wanted to experience all those cool astronaut things.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to go. However, the ad left quite an impression on me, and I developed an interest in space anyway. Even though they didn't get my parents' money, the Space Camp ad successfully generated a young kid's interest in space. Little did I know, I had just become interested in science and math.
Of course, very few of my teachers capitalized on this fledgling interest. It is only thanks to Bill Nye's television show that my interest in science and math was maintained and encouraged. Much more could have been done to exploit my interests in space for the purpose of teaching me math and science, that's to be sure.
Bill Nye, made famous for his discovery that kids also love bow ties.
Obviously, Apollo 13 became one of my favorite movies, along with Jurassic Park (dinosaurs are also classic kids' favorites). There is a scene in Apollo 13 in which Jim Lovell must compute by pencil and paper the correct gimbal conversions. He is under enormous pressure, with his life and the lives of his fellow astronauts depending on his arithmetic ability.
Why wasn't this scene, and scenes like it, used as a way to make learning arithmetic exciting? There are two types of word problems one can use to teach math problems. The first is the traditional word problem we are all familiar with, involving apples and coins and little Peter or whoever. The second is a story the student is invited to take part in, a role playing, in which he or she must practice arithmetic as some exciting part of the story. Naturally, these stories should involve space (or dinosaurs. Or better yet, dinosaurs in space.).
The ultimate teaching tool.
There are plenty of real life examples from NASA's glorious history that children can re-live, problems that they can re-solve with their newly discovered arithmetic abilities. Let the children watch the scene, and then experience for themselves the drama of trying to save everyone with a pencil and paper. Could they do it? If they are encouraged to see it as a game, rather than as rote memorization of rules, I am sure they would be properly motivated to participate.
Similarly, there are numerous cases of clever problem solving to be mined from NASA's history. I'll stick with the Apollo 13 case. "You and your team have a job to do. You've got to figure out how to fit a square peg into a round hole, using nothing but socks, plastic bags, duct tape, and a few other items. You see, the square peg is a crucial carbon dioxide filter that the crew depends on for survival. However, because the mission is a government operation, the air filter system has a round hole to receive the device's tube! Their lives are in your hands! Using only the items at your table and your ingenuity, fit the two devices together and save the crew's lives!" Guess what. You just tricked them into exploring the wonderful world of engineering.
Other NASA case studies can teach the importance of paying attention to details, like which units of measurement are being used.
Mars Climate Orbiter, sent
careening into space because some scientists were using pound-seconds
while others were using newton-seconds. Square pegs and round holes
all over again!
These types of activities can engrain in kids' minds the practical importance and excitement to be had from the world of math, science, and engineering. America has too many future business and marketing majors. We need more scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. As the tobacco companies know, it is imperative that we get 'em while they're young.
What your kid aspires to be
if NASA is not involved in the upbringing…

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 19 (UPI) -- A Florida man who won a legitimate lottery jackpot after being convicted of counterfeiting lottery tickets has died in a mysterious killing.
Anthony Soltys died Friday afternoon. He was shot the night before and then dumped in the middle of a Fort Lauderdale street, The Miami Herald reported.
Soltys pleaded guilty in 1989 in Florida to altering or counterfeiting lottery tickets. He was sentenced to probation but spent some time in jail for violating it.
In 1994, Soltys and his partner, James Lynch, split a $2.2 million jackpot in the New York Lottery.
In 2006, Soltys sold his future payments from the lottery to Peach Holdings for an estimated $200,000. Lynch sued him for domestic violence and won possession of the house they shared and their two dogs.

ii. Absent: Brent Beachy, Sarah Beck, Sara Derstine, Amy Springer
III. Approval of Minutes
a. Motion I: Gabe motioned to approve the minutes with the approved changes in the fifth motion of adjournment in which Vi and Ken 'shared that the request is stronger when backed by the SGA than when by only campus ministries'.
b. Second: Karissa Sauder
c. Passed Unanimously
IV. Announcement
a. SGA website- Ben informed all senators that the SGA website is working! Yay!
V. Committee Reporting
a. Hans- Information Systems- There was a lot things mentioned during the meeting. Discussion revolved around replacing blackboard with another system due to costs, the department is thinking of updating computers around campus, and the IS department is concerned with the number of persons needing assistance with their computers. Overall Hans said the meeting was interesting.
b. Benjamin and Karissa- SPC: Benjamin and Karissa listed several of the items discussed during the SPC committee meeting. Discussion continued on why the number for the freshman class has increased.
VI. Old Business
a. Student fees/Common Grounds
i. Doug- Thanks SGA for being active supporters. He went on to explain how the Lilly grant has affected EMU in general and specially Common Grounds (CG). Doug, Jason, and Elizabeth gave a brief overview of CG, their role within Common Grounds, and their goals for CG. Doug passed out a piece of paper that included CG's vision, mission, expenses, incomes, last year's sale summary, and items for consideration. What are some of the brainstorming ideas to help keep common grounds open after the Lilly project is complete include- the survey, suggest institutional support- not just student life support, change of hours from last year. Ken mentioned that the President's cabinet has taken some steps by including CG's area in the construction phase that includes the theatre. Due to the population of EMU, it's not possible to actually be self-sustaining. Several questions were addressed and basic suggestions made. IN reference to work study positions it would theoretically be nice to increase the number of positions within CG, however it's difficult because it will take away from other work-study positions around campus. There was also discussion on charging departments for the use of CG. One thing heavily discussed is the idea to increase student fees to help offset the cost of keeping CG open; most people seemed to like this idea. What about next semester? Some money could come from the SGA roll-over account. CG management is open to suggestions for ideas of how to improve CG. Maybe something specific SGA would like to support. Keep thinking and come up with ideas for next meeting!
VII. New Business
a. Academic Integrity- Vi: Suggest to table this till next week in the interest of time.
VIII. Open Floor
a. Student faculty forum committee- Karissa has been working on this and set the date for the first faculty forum to be on December 1st. This date will allow for enough time to get put on faculty calendars and still early enough for students to attend before getting bogged downed with finals.
IX. Adjournment
a. Motion II: Sara Derstine- Motion to adjourn the meeting.
b. Second: Katie Landis
c. Passed Unanimously at 10:06pm

What they might say in some of the politer circles, with pinkie extended from martini, is that Bill Johnston has created quite a manure storm by blowing just a little hot air.
Johnston is public relations chief for the Chargers - has been since 1990 - and I've known him for more than 30 years, when he began as a cub flack under the legendary Rick Smith. Although there have been many times when we have been at odds, I can't say I've known many better people.
Bill is a kind man, a giving man, a devoted man who created the San Diego chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society when his wife Ramona contracted this horrible thing more than a decade ago.
Bill is a better man than I. The strength he has shown, balancing his job and Ramona's incurable disease and his continuous work to help find a cure for this killer, often leaves me breathless. No one I know can put more time in his day.
However, in no way am I here today to say Johnston as a professional was right when he wrote a Thursday column on the Chargers Web site asking fans to "take a chill pill" following Monday night's embarrassing defeat to the Denver Broncos.
But it was his right. The problem is that he didn't really say what he wanted to say in the correct manner. So he's not Hemingway. But what he wrote, which I found to be innocuous, infuriated so many Chargers fans it ended up going national, or viral, or whatever the hip phrase is at the moment.
As a rule, Bill is wise enough to air his laundry indoors. Many a time I've received calls from him after a column, saying, "You're killing me." He wrote this from the heart, as a fan, not the wise, experienced PR man that he is, and he got his tie caught in the typewriter.
Bad thing is, the team's Web people eventually buried it on the site, and to make matters worse, by Friday afternoon had changed the date on the column from Oct. 18 to Oct. 15. If you read the piece, with Bill talking about the talk show firestorm following the game - and even my Tuesday column saying the Chargers are done - then you know the column couldn't have been written on Oct. 15.
When I spoke to Bill Friday afternoon he said he knew nothing of the date change. "I wrote it yesterday (Thursday)," he said. "That really is news to me. I have to look into it."
Nor did he plan any sort of retraction. "Me, personally? No," he said. "I wanted it out there. Maybe, if I had to do it again, I wouldn't have had it run with me as an employee of the club. Just run it as a column."
I then welcomed him to the world of column writing and that if he's going to continue his career as a Web scribe he'd be wise to develop a thicker skin. Because as far as I'm concerned, this is a molehill turned into a typical social media Himalaya. It will be long gone once the next molehill comes along.
What Bill did wrong was write too deeply from the heart of the fan he has been all his life, as if the criticism is incredulous to him.
He wrote: "What's wrong with you people?" It ticked fans off. Not the right thing for a PR guy to say to his constituents.
He wrote: "Take a chill pill." Once again, a softer tact would have been advisable.
But the Chargers have a Website. The U-T has a Website. I write for it and many more on our staff members express their opinions on it. A whole lot of readers disagree with what we have to say and many of them think they're in the great majority, when in fact it's often the exact opposite.
They don't know my business any more than I know theirs. They don't hand out expert diplomas to every blogger and tweeter. But everybody has a voice now. If Johnston wants to have one, why should we have a problem with it? It isn't as though he told every fan to move to L.A.
"I think you know me well enough to know what my intentions were," he said. "I've been here forever. My only goal was to hopefully make people think about what lies ahead. I didn't mean to criticize or offend anyone."
That I believe. Problem is, he did offend, even though he didn't mean to. The Chargers have enough problems with the Norv Turner haters without having to deal with their PR guy ticking off fans.
"I'm as upset or more upset about this than anyone," Johnston said. "I guess my message wasn't clear enough. I look at where we are and where we can be and I see a season ahead.
"A lot of people think it's from the team point of view, but it isn't. It's from my point of view. It was a column, like your column in the paper."
Bill Johnston deserves a hall pass. He also has to see a skin specialist.

All of a sudden, it's starting to look a little worrying for Africa in the World Cup – South Africa's bravery and spirit hasn't seen them through, Portugal's embarrassing demolition of North Korea have made Ivory Coast very unlikely to qualify, and Algeria and Nigeria simply weren't good enough. Ghana's qualification yesterday makes them the continent's only representatives, then; the subject of today's blog, Cameroon, were the first team to be eliminated from the competition after two disappointing defeats to Japan and Denmark. If only today offered an easy chance to restore pride; instead, they've got to play Holland. Gadzooks.
When asking for a list of genres Cameroon brought to the world, you probably wouldn't expect 'disco' to be one of the answers. And yet, it was Cameroon's own Manu Dibango that conjured up Soul Makossa, the album – and song – most frequently credited with sparking the disco craze. A rare venture into the Billboard charts by an African musician, it became one of the most sampled, referenced, and copied songs of the era – Michael Jackson fans especially may recognise the opening vocal refrain. The album itself is well worth having, incidentally – it's a brilliant funk record, fleet-footed and melodic throughout.
That song shares its name – or at least the 'makossa' bit – with one of Cameroon's most popular genres of music. The other – a more danceable, off-kilter affair that hasn't found the same level of popularity on an international level – is bikutsi. The only exposure that Western listeners are likely to have had to this sound is via Paul Simon, on both Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints (both also mentioned in South Africa's entry in this blog series, of course), but the real stuff is a different beast altogether – heavily percussive, it's summery, frantic, disorientating, and euphoric all at once. The sound quality isn't especially great on the below clip, but you can't front on that video; the band are called Les Têtes Brulées, if you fancy seeking out more; they're responsible, more than anybody, for turning the genre towards pop, but they were batshit insane, so it's okay.
From a cultural point of view, the most interesting thing about bikutsi is the way it walked hand-in-hand with women's rights in Cameroon, with the genre often being an outlet for the expression of socially progressive ideas. Even now, the genre is seen as decadent and uncouth by a significant number of older listeners, so out of respect for that, let's have something a little more in line with tradition. Olivier de Clovis, heard below, plays a form of assiko, a genre that is closely intwined with the dance with which it shares a name. Parallels could be drawn with skiffle; while referencing the established folk traditions of the country, it remains a ramshackle sound with cheap, makeshift instrumentation the rule rather than the exception. This is a fairly modern version, so the production values are a bit better than one might expect, but it gives a good overview all the same.

"Riveting. A surprise-filled thriller." -John Hartl, The Seattle Times
Innocent man, or serial killer? In this fascinating and brilliantly executed crime thriller, Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert and Proof) stars as Eddie Fleming, a loner whose uncertain innocence or guilt elevates to an edge-of-the-seat mind-game.
In the early hours of the morning, Eddie is abruptly grabbed by the police as the prime suspect of an unsolved crime. Scared and confused, Eddie firmly defends his innocence despite the unrelenting, strong-armed tactics of his interrogator, Detective Steele.
In the tradition of crime dramas such as The Usual Suspects, Homicide and NYPD Blue, The Interview takes you on a relentless, suspense-filled cat and mouse chase. Is Eddie the victim of Detective Steele's obsession to discover the truth, or is he a clever killer?

As far back as his days in Connecticut, when Rudy Gay was brought up in a conversation, the word "potential" often followed.
Gay always was seen as a player who could be a superstar, with the talent to be a perennial fixture at the mid-season NBA all-star game.
That never happened in Memphis, though Gay still usually led that club in scoring and flashed his considerable upside many times each season.
But now he's been brought to Toronto to live up to the hype. To be "the man."
Gay sure sounds up for the challenge.
"Definitely. I think I can do it here. I think I have a lot more to give," Gay said after being introduced to the media before he exploded out of the gate against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night, particularly in a high-flying first half.
"Being in a system in Memphis, I wouldn't say it limits me, because we won a lot of games and that's what it's about. I think I definitely played into a system, a different system," he said, trying to tip-toe around the fact that he thinks he was indeed limited in Memphis.
In Toronto, he'll be the focus, the go-to-guy, the face of the franchise.
He won't be the subject of trade rumours, which Gay admitted Friday wore on him, and he won't be reminded any time soon about what more he has to do to please his detractors.
And perhaps, most importantly for Gay, he is now playing for a franchise that instead of constantly planning ahead to life without him, instead, constantly schemed to find out what life would be like with him.
"It's just good to be wanted. To start over in an organization where they reached out and tried to get me. I feel like I've been drafted again. I get on (Bryan Colangelo) because he didn't draft me, but this is almost like another draft. Almost," Gay said.
Gay wants to live up to the billing, while still fitting in and seeing his teammates thrive, as well.
"I think more than anything a franchise person has to understand that it's a team game. I'm not coming here just to score a lot of points. I'm coming here to make my team better. I'm not coming here to lessen anybody's role or anything. I'm coming here to make this team better. Some nights that might be scoring points, some nights that might be assisting and some nights it might be rebounding. As long as those (wins) keep adding up," he said.
"I've been in situations, I've seen the other end of it. I'm coming from a winning team and I've seen the other end and I've been a part of it. I know how to win. I think that helps."
Clippers forward Caron Butler attended UConn prior to Gay and believes his fellow former Husky can shed that "permanent potential" label as a Raptor.
"I think he's going to bring a lot of versatility, a lot of scoring, a lot of leadership. I think he's going to be an all-star in the Eastern Conference. I think it's a great situation for him," Butler told the Toronto Sun.
"And (having played) under coach (Dwane) Casey in Dallas, I think he's going to put him in great situations to be very successful.
"With (Kyle Lowry) and DeRozan emerging, that's a good core, a good young nucleus to build around and have a good cornerstone. There is going to be some good basketball coming out of Toronto."
That's the plan and you could see ample evidence of it on Friday night.
While he didn't stand out defensively, Gay said the knock that he is an all-offence, no-defence performer is bogus.
"That's not fair," he said, breaking into an explanation that drew vigorous head nods from the defensive-minded Casey.
"If you look back and see at the end of the games, I guard the best player. I take that challenge. None of that really matters to me, what people say. I know at the end of the day, I want to win. Whatever it takes, whether its getting a stop, hitting the last shot, I'll be the person to do it."
It has been a long time since the Raptors have had a player with this much swagger, let alone talent.
You might have to reach back to Vince Carter who, much like Gay, never was able to take advantage of all of his gifts.
But Gay gets another shot here and, as Carter once did in dark times, has a chance to put Toronto back on the NBA map.

I suppose just about everybody would like to see the next president of the U.S. support and not support certain issues. Here are my do's and don'ts for the next president.
1. Keep a defense that is second to none.
2. Appoint intellectuals to the U.S. Supreme Court. They will be there for life, but you won't.
3. Change the Electoral College so some of the so-called third party candidates can get some of the votes.
4. Work on a simplified and fraud-proof voting system.
5. Try to find a good definition for education and make the necessary changes to better educate.
6. Support scientific endeavors; without science we revert back to the Stone Age.
7. Keep the environment clean without hurting the economy.
8. Work on the unification of all people. The support of an international language would be the first step.
1. Don't mess with the social programs. We are a rich nation and we can take care of our old, the young, the disabled, etc.
2. Don't mess with the church-state separation issue. The state should be secular and rational and guided by natural law.
3. Don't mess with the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on abortion. They are the philosophical body that should know best.
4. Don't tie the hands of corporate America with unnecessary regulations. Let them produce.
5. Don't make foreign policies that are detrimental to the country. They need us more than we need them.

Pena puts on power display at D-backs camp
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
And true, it was only batting practice.
But D-backs non-roster outfielder Wily Mo Pena still put on quite a show during batting practice Saturday at Salt River Fields.
"First round, 10 swings, nine homers," second baseman Kelly Johnson said. "If there were 30 swings, I'm guessing 25 over the fence. It was ridiculous."
Pena's batting-practice power has always drawn attention during his time with the Reds, Red Sox and Nationals. The D-backs signed the 29-year-old to a Minor League deal this offseason with the idea that he would provide some outfield depth at Triple-A Reno.
At 6-foot-3 and around 280 pounds, Pena drew looks from teammates before even stepping on the field.
"It's the first time I've been in a [hitting] group with him," Johnson said. "Everybody has heard about him. Since my first year in pro ball that's one guy everyone talks about, his home runs in BP."
Gibson delivers positive message to D-backs
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- D-backs manager Kirk Gibson delivered a clear message in a morning meeting prior to the D-backs' first full-squad workout Saturday.
"I think if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be, compete," second baseman Kelly Johnson said of Gibson's talk. "He wants us to come in and compete everywhere you go. I think it's a good message."
Veteran Geoff Blum has been through his share of first-day meetings during his 12-year big league career, and he noticed a difference Saturday.
"It was a little more positive than most," Blum said. "I think that Kirk's reputation precedes him around the game, so I think guys are excited to play because they enjoyed watching him play. We know there were certain expectations when he played, and I think he's going to expect the same things being a manager."
Gibson has talked a lot this spring about changing the image the D-backs have of themselves as a team, and he gave a hint of what the new image he is trying to imprint is.
"We have to come together as a team, we have to have a purpose together," Gibson said. "If there are people who aren't on the program then we'll have to make adjustments. I said a lot of encouraging things about who we are and what kind of plays we make. I don't think there is anything negative at all. We didn't talk about the past."
General manager Kevin Towers shared a similar message to Gibson during his address.
"I think we're good, but they have to feel they're good," Towers said. "I can think all I want, but if they don't think they're good, then they won't be."

In my last post I mentioned how excited I was to have an opt-in form on my blog, and how easy it was. I also mentioned how to NOT go about creating an opt-in form.
Apparently, that's not helpful enough for anyone looking to actually create one!
So here we go – How to add an opt-in form for your blog:
(1) Assuming you have an Aweber account (or similar autoresponder system), click on "Sign-up Form" then "Create a Sign Up Form."
(2)Start by choosing a template (basic is fine; don't forget, you only need the two lines where your future subscribers will input their name and email address).
(3) Once you load the template, you can click the x button which appears when you hover over it, to get rid of all the headers, footers, etc, leaving you only with the bare-bones essentials.
(4)Customize it as you like — change the font, make it bold (click on it to see your options), and pull the "resize" button to pull it out or make it smaller.
(5) Important: don't forget to save your form! Then "Go To Step 2."
(6)On the next page, where it says "Form Name" you will put in the name that you are calling this form – to distinguish it from all the rest of the forms you will make, ever.
(7)(You don't have to enable Facebook integration.)
(8)Where is says "Thank You Page," I highly recommend choosing "custom page" and putting the URL to your free report. I'm taking the liberty to say "your free report" because I'm sure you have offered your potential subscribers something in exchange for their email addresses, haven't you? If not, please do!
(9)Save it all, and go to step 3, which is "Publish." Tell them you will insert it yourself, click on the Java snippet, and copy and paste your code. The coolest thing is that once you have that code, and even after you place it on your website, any changes you make to it will automatically appear. On their own. One less hassle for you!
(10) Now here comes the even cooler part: So far all you have is the code for the name, email, along with the submit button. Now you need the text, the reason that will convince your visitors to input their information. This is easier done than said!
(11)Decide what you want to write. You need a compelling headline, which I'm sure you have. If not – think about it! What would make YOU want to give someone your email address? On your blog, go to "Add New Post," and put your text into the visual editor. Format it as you like – change the colors, the sizes, center it, add an image, etc.
(12)Then, SIMPLY switch over to the "text" part of your editor, and suddenly you see all the coding for your formatted post! Copy it (no need to save it, unless you want to make changes, which you probably will, so in that case, save it as a draft)…
(13)… and copy it into a text widget on your sidebar. And directly underneath that, paste your code that you got from Aweber!
(14) Test it! Go back and make changes if you'd like. Beautiful, isn't it?
P.S. This tutorial was assuming that you also already have a list set up, where someone who signs up will automatically receive an email with the link to their promised reward (which you probably already gave them immediately upon signing up).
Was this helpful at all? Please let me know if there was anything more I could've said to make it clearer. Would pictures have been easier for you to follow along? Feedback is always welcome . . . in the comments section below!

We have looked at a few positions this year via the Equivalent Average report to see why first base was as powerful as it is and just how disappointing shortstop has been. This time around we're going to take a look at another of the extreme lows by checking out the players behind the plate.
There is one thing that makes the numbers at catcher fascinating this year, and it's Joe Mauer. Collectively, catchers have an EqA of .250, putting them below every other position in the majors-shortstops have managed to climb up a few points to .255 since we last checked in on them. Among catchers with 300 plate appearances, Mauer's .352 EqA tops the list, while Dioner Navarro's below-replacement .208 EqA brings up the rear. Twenty-four catchers have hit that plate-appearance threshold, and Mauer's 73.2 VORP is more than double the next catcher on that list-Brian McCann's 34.2 VORP and .291/.361/.515 line would be impressive at any position, especially catcher, but Mauer is just on a different plane of existence this year. McCann is 45 VORP ahead of Navarro (-10.9), and 39 VORP behind Mauer, which should give you some indication of just how good the Twin's backstop has been.
The average VORP of the top 15 catchers is 20.9, but if you take Mauer out of there it's 16.4; his season brings up the average for all regulars up by nearly a half-win by itself. His MLVr is higher than the slugging percentage for every other catcher on the list. You could go on all day about all the statistical oddities that come from the great things Mauer is doing at the plate, but that's not the point of this piece. The point is to see the state of the position as a whole, not just that of its peerless leader.
Besides Mauer and McCann, you have A.J. Pierzynski having a good season thanks to a high batting average, matching his career high in ISO, and a little bit of bounceback in his plate patience from a low point in 2008. Then there are Mike Napoli and Jorge Posada, neither of which has played as often as many catchers on the list but who have played very well when they do. Victor Martinez has more VORP than everyone except for Mauer/McCann, but he's split time between Cleveland and Boston as well as catcher and first base, so his VORP total if you call him a catcher gets inflated by the break he gets playing every day, yet not catching daily. Things go downhill somewhat fast from here: Miguel Montero and Yadier Molina are both useful enough, but much of that stems from the relative lack of production at the position. John Baker is hitting .268/.343/.427, which makes him a top 10 catcher. Hell, Jason Varitek is hitting .224/.332/.428 and was replaced by Martinez because he's been so bad, and he still ranks 11th; to put things into perspective, V-Mart has nearly matched V-Tek's production in his 109 plate appearances by posting 8.9 VORP on the Sox. There's a large disparity between the talent at the top and the middle, never mind those at the bottom.
Out of the 24 on the list, 18 of them have a positive VORP, but for the most part the numbers are nothing to get excited about, and many of those players split time-you may be temped to go with Miguel Olivo if you're desperate thanks to his power, but he doesn't play every day. There are two things that stick out on this list, when looking at the poorer options. The first is the number of supposed star catchers having had awful seasons-Russell Martin is at .257/.359/.324 with an ugly nine steals in 15 attempts, and Geovany Soto is hitting .218/.323/.381 on the year after hitting 23 homers and slugging .504 in 2008. The other thing, which is kind of strange, is the number of catchers with high-offense home parks. Chris Iannetta (.222/.332/.436), Ramon Hernandez (.249/.330/.355), and Jarrod Saltalamacchia (.236/.293/.375) have all put up lines that look straight out of a tough hitter's park. It's a little frightening to imagine what some of that production would look like without the benefit of their hitter-friendly home parks.
Mauer is having a historic season, but you can't count on that sort of thing each year. Will catcher be able to save itself from this sort of cadre-wide weakness in 2010, or will we be in for an even more depressing offensive outage? It may seem early to ask this question, but you haven't seen my inbox or chat queue lately either, so take my word for it when I tell you that people have been asking and asking often about keepers at weak positions. A rebound from Martin could help smooth things over a bit, but the chances of that happening are hard to gauge. There's nothing amiss in his numbers, outside of his actual production. His BABIP is .301, 10 points below both last year and his career rate. His batted-ball data is similar to previous seasons, though with a few more liners-that should mean even more hits, not fewer. The big problem has been that his HR/FB dropped from a three-year average of 10.3 percent down to 4.2 this season. Since he never hit many fly balls to begin with, losing homers on the ones he does hit has hurt his line. Pitchers are throwing him a few more first-pitch strikes and giving him fewer changeups, but other than that all of those things look similar to previous years as well. Russell is 26 years old and has caught 519 games behind the plate at the major league level, including 145 in 2007 and 149 in 2008. He may just be worn down like people felt he might get to be if the Dodgers rode him as hard as they did.
Soto's dealing with a very low BABIP, as well as a dip in his power production; he's also missed time with injuries this year. He had a few months in 2008 where his batting average would plummet but his power would remain, and 2009 looks much like those months except with injuries thrown in. While that's little comfort for those of you that drafted Soto early or held on to him in a keeper league, at least it looks like he should be able to recover his production for the most part. Even if Soto were to hit .250/.330/.450 or so he would have plenty of use behind the plate, though we have also seen him show more power than that in the past.
As to whether or not you should keep your catcher, there are very few worth the risk. Mauer is the obvious one, and McCann isn't too shabby either. Victor Martinez plays more than the rest of them thanks to his spot starts at first base, and with Fenway as his playground for a full season next year, he may have one of his better campaigns in 2010. Besides that, though, the pickings aren't just slim, they're nearly nonexistent. While scarcity plays a factor, the difference between the catchers after the first few mentioned here and those towards the middle are so similar that it makes little sense to waste the keeper on them. Here's hoping Matt Wieters can break out in 2010 and give the catchers the help that they need

Apparently there are more going on in all those food trucks I see all over town except people making food. There are also some father-and-son bonding, and, er, other stuff. Check out the first trailer for "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau's "Chef," which has that "small movie" feel, except it's being done by a big-time director with a big-time cast that includes Iron Man himself and Dustin Hoffman in bit roles. Now that's what I call Hollywood pull!
(If you don't know, or have ever seen these food trucks, then you probably live in a part of the country with a very small Latino population. Or you're in Alaska.)
Chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) suddenly quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after refusing to compromise his creative integrity for its controlling owner (Dustin Hoffman), he is left to figure out what's next. Finding himself in Miami, he teams up with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara), his friend (John Leguizamo) and his son to launch a food truck. Taking to the road, Chef Carl goes back to his roots to reignite his passion for the kitchen — and zest for life and love.
Starring Jon Favreau, Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, Emjay Anthony, Scarlett Johansson, and Robert Downey, Jr.
The taco truck rolls out this May 9th.

New York, 20 September 2012. Art Media Agency (AMA).
From 28 September to 10 November 2012, the Pratt Manhattan Gallery will present an exhibition titled "Party Headquarters: Art in the Age of Political Absurdity".
In these times of elections in the United States, the exhibition, organised by the curators Eleanor Heartney and Larry Litt, enlights the tradition of satiric political caricatures. They have been present in the press for some centuries now. In this world where everything is being politicised, these caricatures often provoke debates and conflicts. They expose to the public the influence of avarice, money and religion on politics: everything contradicting the American dream.
Works by 14 artists will be exhibited, including works by Donna Catanzao, Enrique Chagoya, Kara Maria, Greta Pratt or Duke Riley. Furthermore, a mobile polling installation designed by Duke Riley will run the streets of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens.
