Caitlin Davis – A few wobbles in your vocal, but you delivered the emotion of the song so well, we believed every word of the song. Well done for using the whole stage so effectively and bringing so much energy to the performance. You are clearly a brilliant, confident performer.
T'mya Fyffe – Wow! Your voice is so enchanting and totally incredible for your age. You are a star in the making, can’t believe you’re only 8 years old! Absolutely beautiful performance, you should be very proud of yourself.
Charlotte Jones – Cute song, well done for showing off your originality. Your vocals were a little too safe and the song doesn’t allow you to really show off your range and challenge the voice, so try and add a few more dynamics, click here for more on singing dynamics.
Millie-Mae – Absolutely love the outfit! Great song choice, you could tell the song meant a lot to you. Your vocals gave us goosebumps, but it would be nice to see you take the vocal higher in places to add more impact. A brilliantly confident performance though, well done!
Lily – Love your style. You conveyed the emotion of the song brilliantly in your voice, just make sure it comes through in your body language and performance too, click here for more on singing with facial expressions. Try and work on getting a better connection between your chest voice and head voice so we don’t lose though top notes, a good vocal coach will be able to help you develop this, click here for more on the importance of singing lessons.
Georgia – Great stage presence, your performance of the song was great. Your voice was a little shaky at times, but you didn’t let you affect your performance which was great. There is a lot of potential in your voice, but you need to develop your chest voice so you can improve the tone a depth throughout your vocal range.

Feedback from the Liverpool's Got Talent Show
Daniel Chettoe – Greta song choice and incredibly mature vocals, it’s hard to believe how young you are with a voice like that. Wonderful low notes, keep developing your top notes so you’re not restricted in song choices. Loved the individuality, we’ve not seen anyone else like this in the competition.
Ethan Cross – Awesome performance! Fantastic confidence, you really put a smile on our faces. Great, well-rehearsed performance, just take care not to make it look over rehearsed and too planned on stage, try and relax slightly. You’re bursting with star quality!
ALIVE – Great harmonies, your voice blend so beautifully and you look great as a duo. Just try and connect together with one another within your performance, click here for some tips on duos and groups.
Rossi Walsh-O'Neill –This song is such a big song, but you sang it really well. Brilliant control over your voice and so much power. Well done for making the song your own, click here for more on performing a creative cover. Keep working on your vocals so you can stay connected for those higher notes.
Amber Marsden – You look great and have a very powerful vocal for your age. It did get a little shouty in places, but that is purely a vocal technique issue which can be fixed with good training. It would be nice to see you move around the stage more to add more to the performance, click here for more on stage performance tips for singers.
Kate Wilson – Vocally you are good, but you need to build the strength in your top notes to sing a song like this. Work on connecting your chest voice and head voice with a good vocal coach and you’ll have more options vocally. Great use of the stage, well done.
Daisychain – You have beautiful vocals and a nice tone to the voice, but watch that it doesn’t get too breathy on the low notes, click here for more on breath control exercises. You looked lovely, but not quite sure the image suited the song, click here for more on act image and synchronisation. Also try not to sing with your eyes closed as it makes it hard for your audience to connect to you. Your stage confidence will develop the more you perform.
Jude Hayes – Great voice and vocal range for someone so young. The song was a big gamble, but one that paid off, you smashed it. Have more confidence in yourself and try and look at your audience more as we lose connection on you and the song when you close your eyes, click here for more on singing with facial expressions.
Jasmine Brand – Great power in the notes, you just need to finish off the sound by reducing the nasality. Love the attitude, make sure you don’t lose the attitude when you’re not singing, remember to perform through the instrumental parts too, click here for more on stage performance tips for singers.
Sadie - You have incredible maturity in your voice considering your age. Lovely vocals, but have more confidence in yourself to work the stage, and make use of the space you have to perform. Your stage craft will develop the more you perform, but click here for more on stage performance tips for singers. It was quite a safe song choice and you really need to try and find ways to make cover songs your own to stand out and be different, click here for more on performing a creative cover.
Amy Fullagar – Love the way you used the stage. Good voice, but make sure you don’t lose those low notes, if they get too breathy they loose impact.

Isabella – Beautiful guitar playing and a lovely voice. You portrayed the emotion of the song and the story brilliantly in your facial expressions. A few more varied dynamics would have given more impact to the song and made it a little more interesting, click here for more on singing dynamics.
Courtney – You have a lovely tone to your vocal, but try and vary the dynamics and melodic line a little more to keep the audience’s attention and focus, click here for more on singing dynamics. Keep working on your vocals to build more strength and remember to use that stage, you remained quite static, click here for more on stage performance tips for singers.
Jessie Jamieson – Take a deep breath before you start as it will help you control the nerves better. Loved your delivery of the song, your voice is stunning but your control over it slipped sometimes due to the nerves, so don’t let them get the better of you, click here for advice on dealing with nerves.
Amelia Wilkins – After a slightly nervous start you gave a solid and professional performance, click here for advice on dealing with nerves. You have a lovely voice and chose a great song to suit you. Try to work on creating a fuller soft note, it will carry better and allow you to create more impact.
Kayleigh – Great look, loved your style! We could tell how deeply you were connected to the song; however it was often hard to understand the words you were singing, which makes it hard for us to connect with the song. Work on clearing your diction and try to vary the dynamics more, click here for more on diction for singers.
Mel Aspinall – Love the image, you look like a little popstar! Good control over your voice, however the energy of the performance didn’t quite live up to the energy of the song, so try and work on your stage performance a little more, click here for more on stage performance tips for singers.
Sun Moon & Talia – Beautiful voice and a good performance, you connected to the song well and sold it to us. Loved the song, however the melody line stayed too low for too long, we’d have liked to have seen you take it higher to add more variation, click here for more on singing dynamics.
Sharon – You delivered the song beautifully, but keep working on developing your chest voice as it will add depth and quality to the rest of your range. If you’re playing piano, you really need to practise to the point that you don’t need to look down at the keys whilst you are performing so you can look up and connect with your audience, click here for more on performing with music keyboards.
Olivia Grace - You have a lovely rich tone to your voice, but watch your tongue on the top notes as it's getting tight making the sound constricted. Also be careful with your diction in places as a few lyrics got lost, click here for more on diction for singers. A very enchanting performance, but it would be nice to see you improvise around the melody more and take it higher in places, click here for more on singing dynamics.
Sammi Grainger – a very beautiful cover of the song with great eye contact with your audience. If you want to consider minimising your lisp, working on exercising your tongue will aid this. Strengthen your chest voice to build the tone throughout your range and to gain depth in your vocals, a good vocal coach will be able to help you develop this, click here for more on the importance of singing lessons.
Christine Bray – The arm and hand gestures and movements really helped you portray the story of the song well. You are a great performer, but make sure your mic is at the right position so you are not stretching up toward it as it makes singing more difficulty, click here for more on microphone technique for singers.
Race the Horizon – Love the song! Great, lively performance and the harmonies worked well. Good interaction between each other on stage as well as the audience. Just watch that you don’t push the vocal too hard, straining could cause damage to your voice.
Ben Caveen – A very powerful vocal and dramatic performance. Whilst your stage performance was minimal it suited the song well, but click here for tips on singing on stage for singers. It would be nice to see you vary the dynamics more as volume is more impressive when it comes from a softer place, click here for more on singing dynamics.
Luke – You clearly are very confident on stage, but perhaps reign the performance in a little, too much bouncing around can distract from the song. You have a nice voice, but it would be nice to see you take the song higher in places to really show off your range.
Des Pilling – Loved the note order and flow of the song, it was a very believable performance. Try and develop your vibrato more to gain a more “finished” sound; it will also prevent you from going flat on the held notes.
Siobhan McNally – This is a big song and you sung it beautifully, but make sure you come back into your chest voice fully every time you go to the lower notes, otherwise they become too light and breathy.

His debut album, Butter, opens with a suitably sexed-up Sesame Street introduction, as Birchard welcomes us into his head, walking us through his thoughts, propelling us purposefully with vibrant chords and pompous guitar solos before opener proper, "Gluetooth," which skips from the lovable splash of the opening piano into cut-up glory and kick drum thump mania, before he strips back the colourful instrumentation and lets the power of the bolshy bassline propel the track.
It's the perfect example of Birchard's hyperactivity and constant merging of styles, a trait that is Butter's most endearing aspect. He runs through many styles throughout the 18 tracks—stylophone scales on "Rising 5," computer torture and trumpets on "ZOo00OOm," panpipe hysterics on "FUSE," drum rolls and string stabs on "No One Could Ever"—and eloquently stamps them all with his own uniquely manic drum work and, incredibly, manages to make them all sound uniquely different but intrinsically him.
Butter isn't the most cohesive of albums—though the vocal spots courtesy of Olivier Saysoul ("Joy Fantastic" and "Just Decided") convey a kind of skittish Bootsy Collins oddball vibe perfectly. It's erratic, often as purposefully stupid as it is sexy. But that brazen "I-don't-give-a-fuck-yo-I'll-do-what-gets-ME-off" attitude—the type of approach that has always made his music so different, so vibrant and so truly special—is thankfully omnipresent, marking Butter as an album that could have only been made by Hudson Mohawke.

Wild Boys!: Duran Duran is back
Friday, May 23, 2008 - 07:31 AM
Duran Duran plays Merriweather Post Pavilion on Tuesday, May 27, 2008.
If you go
Who: Duran Duran with Your Vegas
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia, Md.)
Info: www.ticketmaster.com, www.merriweathermusic.com and (804) 262-8100
By Melissa Ruggieri
Times-Dispatch Staff Writer
Say this for Duran Duran, they’re always up for a challenge.
The band has existed – in various forms of members and levels of acrimony – for nearly 30 years. That doesn’t happen unless you’re willing to bend artistically.
The group, which has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide, will never shake its ‘80s stigma, even though that period found the English lads crafting lush, keyboard-driven pop that has aged quite well.
But for their latest album, “Red Carpet Massacre,” the original foursome of Simon LeBon (vocals), John Taylor (bass), Nick Rhodes (keyboards) and Roger Taylor (drums) tried to enhance the coolness factor by enlisting Justin Timberlake – a longtime admirer of the guys – and ubiquitous producer Timbaland.
The move toward a slicker pop sound is what reportedly drove guitarist Andy Taylor – who always leaned toward grittier compositions – to leave the Duran family. But even though the album contains a swaying R&B-tinged ballad (“Falling Down”) and some lite-funk background rapping from Timbaland (“Skin Divers”), many of the album’s songs, including the frenzied title track, showcase some of Duran’s edgiest work.
The band has extended its desire to morph and remain innovative to its live shows, too.
On Wednesday at the lovely Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, N.C., Duran Duran whisked through a two-hour set that included ambitious runs of this new, even more multi-tracked than usual, material, their well-worn hits and some older album cuts that instantly transported many in the crowd of about 4,000 back to 1984.
The highlight of the show was a segment that the band first experimented with during its unique two-week stand on Broadway last fall.
Dressed in black and wearing headsets, the foursome lined up at the front of the stage in front of a setup of keyboards and electronic drums for an electro-clash set that reiterated their position as masters of clubby pop tunes.
“All She Wants Is” and “I Don’t Want Your Love” were perfectly suited to this danceteria environment, while “Last Chance on the Stairway,” a “Rio” album track, glistened under its sultry electronica sheen.
This current tour – which stops at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md., on Tuesday – will keep the band on the road through the end of the year, hopping countries and spreading the word of the existence of a new album.
A couple of weeks ago, Rhodes called from Los Angeles to talk about “Red Carpet Massacre,” but also spoke freely about the band’s current relationship with Andy Taylor and whether or not we’ll ever hear another Arcadia song.
Q. Whose idea was it to wear matching outfits with the "Red Carpet Massacre" motif onstage?
It was my and John’s idea. We hooked up with Juicy Couture – we have an in there – [Taylor’s wife, Gela Nash, co-founded the apparel line] and they helped us put together a design. We wanted it be like a uniform, which was sort of right for this project. If you think about bands who have worn the same things, well, The Beatles come to mind, so that’s a fabulous inspiration.
Q. Why do you think the album hasn’t taken off commercially ["Red Carpet Massacre" was released in November and has sold about 100,000 copies]? You've got the youth appeal with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, but do you think maybe that scared away some of your longtime fans?
In some countries it’s done spectacularly well. In America, it simply hasn’t. You never know with these things. It’s a very different market now, and you know, a lot more people have the music than bought the album. You can see half the audience singing along, so they’ve heard these songs somewhere.
Maybe some people were a little afraid that the sound might be too electronic or Timbaland influenced, but it’s very much a Duran Duran album. But still, we had absolutely no radio support on it. We don’t think anyone out there outside our die-hard fans have actually heard it. Record companies are quite useless now; satellite radio is the future. There’s a much better choice of everything and they actually play things that are interesting.
Q. The album's title is sort of a tongue in cheek jab at celebrity. You guys certainly suffered through your share of being followed by the paparazzi and all of the hysteria, but these days, celebrity culture is even more pervasive. Do you sympathize with people like Lindsay Lohan and Britney or feel as if they court this attention?
When you see what happens to people now, with the video cameras and telemobile phones, everything is on the Internet seconds later. But that said, you have to be careful what you wish for. I think when people are really talented and really do something special and work hard and get hounded, I have some sympathy. But people who set out to be famous for the sake of being famous, then no, not really.
Q. Do you think the tracks do you did for "Reportage" [the album the band recorded with original guitarist Andy Taylor and then scrapped] will ever be released in some form?
I hope so. At the moment, it’s sitting in a vat of dry ice somewhere. It was a really strong album. It was never quite finished, so we’d need to do some cosmetic work on it. But the songs are intact.
What happened [with ‘Red Carpet Massacre’]was by accident, not by design. We thought we’d do a couple of extra tracks [for ‘Reportage’] with Timbaland and we ended up with another album worth of material that seemed very fresh. The other album is much more an indie rock record. It took us a good year of our lives to make it, so it would be a pity to let it go unheard. I’d like it to surface one day.
Q. What is the band's relationship with Andy Taylor these days? Do you talk at all?
Sadly no. It’s like a divorce case. It’s one of those things where common sense doesn’t always seem to prevail and you have to deal with whatever through the lawyers.
Q. What are your thoughts on the book he's working on [Taylor’s "Wild Boy" is due in August]? Do you see it as unnecessarily airing dirty laundry or as a story that you think people should hear?
I don‘t know what he’s writing, but I just hope it’s all the truth. I wouldn’t have a problem with any of it if it’s true. But if it isn’t, well, that will mean more lawyers!
Q. Do you think we’ll ever hear anything else from Arcadia [the side band of Rhodes, LeBon and Roger Taylor, which released one album, "So Red the Rose," in 1985]?
There’s not much unreleased stuff. There’s one instrumental song that didn’t make it to the album, so that needs to be mixed and restored. There are a couple of things we should restore it to their full length and put out a disc of the remixes with lots of photos that we’ve never used. It’s funny because record labels, they’re trying to cut down on packaging. But I’d like to make it something glorious.
Q. Having seen you live five or six times since you got back together, it appears that everyone is having fun on stage. Obviously, financially, you don't have to keep doing this, so is it more of a feeling of, we'll keep doing this until we hate it, sort of like the Rolling Stones or U2?
We’re having more fun than we’ve actually ever had – the confidence in the show itself, the way things have been going with the audiences. We went through Australia and New Zealand, Korea and Japan, and those shows were amazing.
Then we went to Costa Rica and played this massive festival, that was just amazing. It was one of my favorite shows that we’ve ever played…the shows have all just been great. Everyone is in a really good mood, the band is sounding better than ever and we’ve taken out the most beautiful lighting show.
I love screens and I’m sure we’ll use them in the future, but we thought, wouldn’t it be fun to focus everybody’s energy on the stage and the music and not have everyone’s necks turned to a screen? We used up our budget on the most incredible lighting rig to create as many different moods as we could.
Q. What's the plan for the year? Will there be another single from “Red Carpet”? Where will tour go after the July dates in England?
Because everybody seems very confused about what to do with the record, all we want to do is get more people to hear it. We’re on a bit of a campaign, so we’ll look at it and see what the best thing to do is. We’ve got some terrific dance versions of some of those songs for clubs. I’d love to go to radio with something, but we need to go from a position of some strength.
But we’ll continue the tour until mid-August, then reconvene in September for a South American tour. We might come back and do some more North America dates and then it will be December. We’re going to look again at China for next year and then it’s time for a new album.
We like touring … We’re lucky to have a lot of hits, but we still see ourselves as an art school project. Yeah this album has all these groovy names that people mention all the times, like Timbaland, but we’ve made a record that’s very cohesive. We never woke up thinking this will be a worldwide smash … We love having hits, but our priority is to just make the records we can and go out there and put together the best live show possible.

To follow along with the 2013 Coaching Carousel, click here.
In seven seasons at Furman head coach Jeff Jackson managed to eclipse the 20-win plateau just once, winning 22 games in 2010-11. After flirting with the .500 mark last season (15-16) the Paladins went 7-24 (3-15 SoCon) this season, ultimately leading to Jackson stepping down Friday as reported by multiple outlets.
Jackson, who also coached three seasons at New Hampshire (1996-99), leaves the school with an overall record of 85 wins and 131 losses.
“We respect Coach Jackson’s decision to resign and pursue other career opportunities, whether in coaching or other areas,” said athletic director Dr. Gary Clark in a statement released by the school. “We appreciate the manner in which he has represented Furman University and Furman athletics.
“He has recruited quality young men who have performed in the classroom and represented Furman with class on the basketball court. We wish Coach Jackson all the best in his future endeavors.”
Of Furman’s top four scorers just one, 6-9 forward Colin Reddick (12.6 ppg, 6.2 rpg), is a senior but obviously in coaching changes there’s no guarantee that the entire roster will return to play for the new head coach.
According to scout.com the Paladins don’t have any verbal commitments (or early signees) in the 2013 recruiting class. Bob Richey has been named interim head coach by the school, with assistants David Wilson and Shammond Williams remaining as his assistants.
“I would like to take this time to thank everyone in the Furman community for the support they showed our program, especially Dr. Clark and President Smolla,” said Jackson in the statement.
“I am very grateful for the opportunity I was given to coach at Furman.”

Despite autism, Lynn teen excels in musicBy VICTOR DERUBEIS , Associated Press
Jun. 2, 2013 2:31 AM ET
LYNN, Mass. (AP) — She certainly doesn't look different from any other typical seventh grader, dressed casually in black slacks, a white print top and coordinating sweater.
She is polite, if a bit reserved and quiet upon first meeting, but then she lets her violin do the talking.
Natalia Beos is playing the difficult opening strains of Bach's Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor with a jaw-dropping precision and expression that belie her 13 ½ years. It's the piece that got her selected from among 900 instrumentalists and vocalists for Junior Northeast District Orchestra in January. Two other young musicians from Lynn made the cut before the judges of the Mass. Music Educators Association: clarinetist Brandon Von and singer Ismael Aquino, both students at Breed Middle School.
Natalia attends Pickering Middle School, played the Bach piece as a soloist in a recent Lynn Public Schools spring concert.
But here's the kicker: She's only been playing for four years.
And here's the double kicker: She'll also be playing in the Middle School Jazz Band — one of two local string players who are the first to do so.
And here's piece de resistance: Natalia was diagnosed with a form of autism at age 2. While she and her family have had to deal with the struggles of the complex neurological disorder nearly all her life, she certainly hasn't let it define her. Indeed, she acknowledges it may even be helping her.
Her mother, Sunday Beos, is quick to praise the Lynn Public Schools for its Early Intervention Program and recognizing the autism when Natalia was a toddler. Indeed, a byproduct of the diagnosis is that Natalia has been able to focus on the unique demands of the violin. That doesn't mean it's been easy. Her mom says that the family, which includes father Anthony and older sister Nepheli, has had to work through the difficulties associated with autism, such as the emotional miscues, tantrums and extreme sensitivity to touch.
Natalia says she first remembers hearing a violin at age 3 and was immediately drawn to the instrument.
"I liked the sound quality, how it looked — everything about it. It just made me want to do it," she says during an interview last week in a practice room at Breed Middle School.
For years after that she bugged her mom to take lessons and finally, at age 9 ½, she got her wish at the Sisson Elementary School with teacher Toku Kawata. Since then she's had several teachers, including current private instructor Alan Hawryluk, of Salem, and Lynn Public Schools teachers Thomas Pritchard and Mona Rashad. She says each has helped her work on her technique and get over the frustrations that any musician encounters when trying to master an instrument, plus the extra challenges posed by autism.
After a typical day at school, Natalia comes home, does her homework and then practices her violin. Some days it's an hour. Some days it's a half hour. Some days, it's 15 minutes, though neither she nor her teachers seem to be as concerned about the quantity of the practice as the quality, and it's less about the autism than the schedule of a busy teenager. Besides, her mom says she'll often pick up the instrument and work on a passage on the spur of the moment.
She practices scales, which she needed to memorize for her District orchestra audition, and then she will work on a piece she's trying to master — the Bach concerto, for example — and focus on playing the notes precisely, which can be a frustration.
"Some days are not a good practice and I have to take a break. Some days I just have to put it down," she says.
Precision and perfection are all well and good for the classical repertoire, but jazz requires balancing precision with, as Lynn Public Schools Music Director Joe Picano puts it, knowing how to get "into the groove."
That, Natalia admits, is the toughest part about playing with the jazz band, but she loves it nevertheless. Natalia started learning about jazz through a friend, Elena Ueland, and began listening to jazz on her own. The two of them kept asking Picano if maybe they could join the jazz band.
"Realizing that her interest was sincere, I asked her if she would be interested in becoming a member of the jazz band, thus becoming the first violin player in our jazz program," Picano writes in an email. "Without hesitation, her eyes lit up and her response was a definite 'Yes!'"
But string players? In an ensemble that typically only has brass, woodwinds, piano and percussion?
"I had to hand-write the string parts for her, as there is very little music written to include strings in jazz band arrangements," Picano says, noting that while it's rare, string players are starting to make inroads into jazz bands at the scholastic level.
Because it's easy for a couple of string players to be overwhelmed by the volume of a phalanx of saxophones, trumpets and trombones, Natalia's violin and Elena's cello are outfitted with amplification systems to level the sonic playing field.
So far, it's working well. Picano said Natalia, and Elena, too, fit into the ensemble immediately with a natural approach and feel for the music.
"She has added to the sophisticated sound of the group," Picano says.
Natalia's favorite jazz piece at the moment, "Ben's Blues" by Carl Strommen, was one of the three selections the jazz band planned to play at a recent concert. Natalia agrees that the addition of strings adds a richness to the jazz band sound.
As for her future, Natalia isn't sure yet whether she'd like to pursue music as a vocation. Science is now her favorite academic subject, but she does know one thing.
"I'm not going to quit violin," she says. "No matter what."

THE LOGANIAN LIBRARY:
TO WHICH IS PREFIXED
A SHORT ACCOUNT OF THE INSTITUTION,
LAW FOR ANNEXING THE SAID LIBRARY
TO THAT BELONGING TO
“ THE LIBRARY COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA,"
RULES REGULATING THE MANNER OF CONDUCTING THE SAME.
C. SHERMAN AND CO., PRINTERS, 19 ST. JAMES STREET.
THE LOGANIAN LIBRARY.
This collection of rare and valuable books, principally in the learned and existing languages of the continent of Europe, owes its origin to the Honourable James Logan, the confidential friend and counsellor of William Penn, and, for some time, president of the council of the province of Pennsylvania. Its foundation consists of a portion of his own private library; which, having collected at considerable expense, he was anxious should descend to posterity, and continue usefully to extend to others the means of prosecuting those pursuits he had himself so successfully cultivated. With this view, he erected a suitable building in Sixth street near Walnut, for the reception of a library, and, by deed, vested it (with the books and certain rents, for the purpose of increasing their number, and paying a librarian,) in trustees, for the use of the public, for ever.
This deed he afterwards cancelled, and prepared, but did not live to execute, another, in which some alteration was made in the funds and regulations. After his death, his children* and residuary legatees, with commendable liberality, carried into effect the intentions of Mr. Logan, and conveyed the building, books, and rents charge to trustees, who caused the library, consisting of more than two thousand volumes, to be arranged, and a catalogue to be printed.
It should therefore be distinctly noted, that it is to the children of James Logan, that the public is indebted for having thus appropriated the books and rents, agreeably to the original design. They were William and James Logan, John Smith and Hannah his wife, she being the surviving daughter.

If you wrote an original romantic screenplay called The Loving Story and the main characters were named Mildred and Richard Loving, that’d seem pretty cheesy. But there’s nothing bogus about the “epunymous” title of an incredibly essential documentary focused on the story of the Lovings, an interracial couple whose union in 1958 led to their arrest and conviction and exile from their home state of Virginia. Eventually their case led to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of mixed-race marriages nationwide, abolishing bans existing at the time in 16 states. The landmark decision took nearly a decade and is one of the most important civil rights triumphs in history. It’s also quite relevant today with the issue of same-sex marriage.
Nancy Buirski‘s film doesn’t directly make the link between then and now (though she does in a statement in the film’s press materials), even though Mildred had, until her death, been supportive of gay marriage campaigns and cases referencing herself and Richard via citations of the precedent set forth with Loving v. Virginia. It’s not necessary because we will make the obvious connection ourselves, and it wouldn’t be totally fair to the monumental achievements of half a century ago to impose the parallel.
While civil rights histories shall always have unspoken ties to ongoing civil rights struggles, they also have significance of their own without the contemporary context. And The Loving Story is very much a film situated in the past, entirely concerned with the Lovings, their lawyers and what occurred between the moment the couple said, “I do,” and the moment Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote, “Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State.”

Kaylee Johnson is in some select company.
The former Natrona County High School standout, now a junior at Stanford, was the first Wyoming player in 24 years, and likely just the second ever, to compete in the Final Four of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament when the Cardinal took on South Carolina on Friday.
Afton’s Cynthia Kinghorn (nee Clinger), a three-time state champion at Star Valley High School, won a national title at Texas Tech University in 1993.
“It’s crazy,” Johnson said in a phone interview Wednesday from Dallas, the site of the Final Four. “We’re blessed, we’re lucky and we’re thankful to be here. To get to the Final Four is something else. They really bring out the bells and whistles for you.
“Even though we do appreciate all this, it’s important that we don’t get caught up in the hype. We’re just excited to get back on the court and play another game.”
On the road again
This has been a whirlwind month for Johnson and the Cardinal (32-5).
They won the Pac-12 Conference Tournament in Seattle and earned the No. 2 seed in the NCAA’s Lexington Regional. However, because the Pac-12 Gymnastics Championships were already scheduled for Maples Pavilion – the Cardinal’s home court – Stanford began the NCAA Tournament in Manhattan, Kansas.
After beating New Mexico State and Kansas State, the team was ready to return to Stanford before making its way to Lexington, Kentucky, for the Sweet Sixteen later that week.
“After our second game in Kansas we were all waiting around the locker room waiting to go home because we had finals all that next week,” said Johnson, a Pac-12 All-Academic selection. “And then we found out there was something wrong with the plane so we wouldn’t be able to get out until the next morning. What it boiled down to was we would have been on campus for less than 24 hours so we decided it would be best to just go to Lexington.
“All that next week leading up to our games in Lexington, we studied for finals. We were literally sitting at these desks studying for finals. It was a busy week and it got to be a little exhausting, but it all worked out.”
The No. 2 seed Cardinal defeated Texas 77-66 March 24 and then knocked off top-seeded Notre Dame 76-75 March 26 to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2014.
A different type of season
The 6-foot-3 Johnson was a three-time winner of the Wyoming Gatorade Girls Basketball Player of the Year (2012-14) and led the Fillies to the 2014 Class 4A state championship.
She continued that success her first season at Stanford, where she set a freshman school record by averaging 9.6 rebounds per game and was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team. The Cardinal advanced to the Sweet Sixteen before losing to Notre Dame.
As a sophomore, Johnson started 24 games and averaged 6.1 points and 6.9 rebounds per game for a team that lost to Washington to fall one game short of the Final Four.
Johnson was selected as a team captain before the start of this season but suffered a stress fracture in her left foot in the fourth game.
“It was definitely frustrating to be injured, and it took me some time to find my rhythm,” said Johnson, who missed 10 games with the injury. “From a selfish, individual point of view, it hasn’t been my favorite season.
“But overall this has been my favorite season,” she added. “I would do it all again. Just because of the team and watching these girls battle every game, being on the court with them and spending every second with them.”
Johnson still starts for the Cardinal but is averaging just 3.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game.
Natrona coach Doug Diehl, who talks with Johnson at least once a month, knows the injury has been a major factor in her career-low numbers.
“Not only was she not able to play,” Diehl said, “but she wasn’t able to practice. And I think that affected her confidence. It’s tough, because Kaylee is such a competitive kid and that competitiveness put her at Stanford.”
Admittedly, Johnson has not had the season she visualized, at least individually.
But playing in the Final Four and being part of head coach Tara VanDerveer’s 1,000th career victory earlier this season have helped make it all worthwhile.
“I’m on a team with 12 of my best friends,” Johnson said. “Of course we’re excited because of the stage we’re on, but we’re just excited to play with each other again because we love each other so much.
“I’ve never had so much fun playing basketball.”
Stanford lost Friday to South Carolina, which then when on to claim the NCAA Division I championship title Sunday.

Some Reddit users hit out at the dangers of the picture is real.
One said: "It's meant to be around someone's arms, so I feel like the harness could slip off of the chair."

Another added: “I don't even do that with my purse.”
However some joked maybe the woman in the bar stool wasn't to blame, adding: “How do you know that it’s her baby? Maybe the last customer left it there by mistake.”
And others didn't see the problem because the baby looks happy enough.
One said: “Honestly baby looks fine with it. Just layin' back like what up'.”

Vesicular stomatitis virus has been confirmed in 20 of Colorado’s counties, including Boulder, Broomfield and Weld, officials said Friday.
Animals have also been affected in Adams, Alamosa, Archuleta, Conejos, Delta, Douglas, Gilpin, Grand, Jefferson, La Plata, Larimer, Mesa, Montezuma, Montrose, Morgan, Ouray and Pueblo counties.
Currently there are 254 animals in quarantine, but 177 have been released, officials said.
The virus is transmitted by insects like flies, sand flies and biting midges. It’s nonfatal and primarily affects horses and cattle, and occasionally swine, sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas. While there is no USDA cure for the virus, officials said cleansing the lesions with a mild antiseptic solution may aid healing and reduce secondary bacterial infections.
Clinical signs include blister-like lesions on the skin, erosion and sloughing of the skin on the muzzle, tongue, ears, teats and coronary bands.
Humans who come into contact with affected animals could become infected and develop an influenza-like illness, according to the Center for Food Security and Public Health. Individuals should use personal protective measures when handling the animals, officials said.
“It is of utmost importance that livestock owners report VSV occurrences and comply with hold or quarantine orders to limit the potential for disease spread in this VSV outbreak.” said Colorado State Veterinarian Dr. Keith Roehr, in a statement.
The first case in Colorado was confirmed on July 3 in Weld County.
In Adams County there are six animals in quarantine while three have been released. Boulder County has 28 in quarantine while 26 have been released. There have been one in each category in Broomfield County, while 61 are in quarantine in Larimer County and 59 have been released. Boulder County has one confirmed case in bovine.
Officials have been taking precautions at the Boulder County fair in wake of the confirmed cases.

There have been countless bands that have slipped through the cracks over the past five decades. The most recent and notable example of this is with Detroit proto-punks Death, hammered home with the recent documentary A Band Called Death.
It’s dutiful (and slightly obsessed and deranged) crate-diggers who typically uncover these artifacts, and over the past decade Numero Group has curated a laundry list of fantastic, deep-cut soul and funk compilations. Their latest offering, Warfaring Strangers: Darkscorch Canticles takes a sharp left turn, digging deep into America’s heartland to bring to life the still-breathing corpses of some of the heaviest riffers and psych weirdos not called Sabbath or Zeppelin.
The 16 bands featured on Warfaring Strangers are a varied lot, the only thing really tying them together being their penchant for Satanism and the fantastical mysticism found in a Frank Frazetta poster. Some of these bands probably deserve to remain in the shadowed obscurity of Hades, but it’s still a lot of fun to listen to. North Carolina’s Arrogance offer up a slab of heavy blues with “Black Death,” but the title is the only thing to fear here. And Georgia four-piece Stoned Mace lurk in the dark crevice somewhere between Zep and Jefferson Airplane on the moody “Tasmania.”
But some of these bands were lightyears ahead of their time. The short-lived Stone Axe’s “Slave of Fear” is a stone-cold stomper, with guitarist Dave Mitchell unleashing a solo that threatens to keep on going (I kind of wish it did). The Texas band released 500 copies of the now sought-after “Slave of Fear” single, and by 1971—just a year after forming—called it a day. Perhaps one of the more interesting tracks comes from Canton, Ohio’s Wrath, although it’s less for the music as it is the directness of the lyrics and the fact that guitarist Ralph Minocchi’s wife had to deliver them due to drummer-vocalist Rick Page suffering from laryngitis. On “Warlord” she sings, “Burn the man who walks upon my land, the gods of the sky shall make you die / Living in lust as Satan must, or the gods shall turn you into dust,” sounding eerie and devilish whether she’s trying to or not.
It’s the stories behind the songs—which are illustrated in the album’s liner notes—that make this batch of misfits all the more likable. Most of the bands on Warfaring Strangers lasted barely a year. Hell, the noteworthy black hard-rock band Hellstorm lasted only one show. At the core of it all is the youthful unrest of small-town life and the liberating power—even if it’s fleeting—of rock and roll. That’s as timeless as it gets.

Plato, Republic. In a sense, the utopian genre might be said to begin with Plato’s Republic, in which he sets out his ideal society (famously, no poets were allowed). The Republic sees Socrates debating with a number of other people about the nature of justice and the ideal city-state. The book also discusses various possible forms of government, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Among the many films of Woody Allen, Sleeper managed to distinguish itself by being one of the funniest comedies he has created in his long career. The story of Sleeper follows the adventures of clumpy ordinary man Miles Monroe (played by Woody Allen) who goes after simple medical procedure finds himself awoken from cryostasis 200 year later. There he starts exploring the weird dystopian world in which oppressive government rules the working class, entering into many misshapes during his struggle to help a small group of anti-government radicals.
Equality for all mankind is not a realistic goal in Wells's view. That, he believes, would mean a loss of individuality, and individuality is an inherent requirement of human nature. Similarly, competition is necessary to a thriving society. Taking what he considers a practical position, he sees the new society as divided into four classes of persons which he calls poietic, kinetic, dull, and base. There is a leader caste, called Samurai, which is drawn primarily from the poietic group, though some from the kinetic class may qualify. Persons who volunteer for Samurai membership must meet stringent requirements, both physical and mental; and they must pledge to conform to the rules of the caste, which forbid eating meat, smoking, drinking, gambling, and participation in public sports or entertainments. The Samurai furnish the World State with its administrators, legislators, lawyers, doctors, and other leaders. Furthermore, they are the only voters in the commonwealth. The male members of the Samurai are encouraged to marry women of comparable qualifications, and they are encouraged to produce children with the aim of improving the quality of the population. The lower classes of citizens, the dull witted, the criminals, and the deformed are exiled from society and prevented from childbearing.

Playing with the roof open and all three Designated Players in the starting lineup, it was a confident performance from Atlanta United in front of an announced attendance of 42,569. Though not every combination worked, Atlanta United passed, dummied and dribbled its way through Montreal time after time in putting eight of its 17 shots on goal.
Atlanta United improved to 13-8-10 and kept alive the possibility of finishing in at least fourth in the Eastern Conference. Doing so would give the Five Stripes home-field advantage, where it improved to 10-3-3, in a best-of-three first-round playoff matchup.
“Now we’ve got to try and finish as high as we can,” goalkeeper and captain Brad Guzan said. “We know that home-field advantage is huge for us. And so we want to try and finish in those top spots to be able to have that advantage.”
Pineda selected his strongest lineup with all three DPs, Giakoumakis, Almada and Saba Lobjanidze, in the 11. Giakoumakis started at striker with Almada as the attacking midfielder and Lobjanidze and Silva on the wings. Tristan Muyumba and Mattheus Rossetto started in central midfield, Brooks Lennon and Caleb Wiley as the fullbacks and Guzan in goal.
After pressuring Montreal, Atlanta United broke through with a goal from Silva in the 30th minute on an assist from Lobjanidze. It was Silva’s second goal, Lobjanidze’s third assist and Giakoumakis’ third assist The play started with Atlanta United breaking Montreal’s pressure near midfield. Wiley found Giakoumakis, who found Lobjanidze streaking down the right. Lobjanidze’s touch on Giakoumakis’ pass was perfect to control the ball. He found Silva making a run from the back post toward the center of the goal. Silva one-timed his shot.
“Offensively, was very fluid, very creative,” Pineda said. “I like the numbers inside ... the directness in our attacks.”
During Wednesday’s draw at D.C. United, Atlanta United’s offense lost its way. Bothered by a thick grass that made passing challenging, and forgetting to do some of the things like switching the point of attack, Atlanta United’s offense bogged down.
Three minutes after his goal, Silva sprinted into the box onto a pass from Wiley, who had run half the length of the field, rounded Montreal goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois and, just before the ball crossed the end line, found Almada making a late run into the 6-yard box. Almada one-timed the shot to give Atlanta United a 2-0 lead. It was Almada’s 10th goal, resulting in him becoming just the third player in franchise history to reach double-digits in goals and assists. The others are Hector Villalba in 2017 and Miguel Almiron in 2018. Wiley was credited with his fourth assist and Silva with his third.
“Tonight was the togetherness,” Silva said.
Montreal cut Atlanta United’s lead to 2-1 with a goal in the 40th minute from Ahmed Hamadi, who was unmarked at the top of the 18-yard box. He hit a left-footed shot into the lower right corner.
“I think in that moment, the end of the first half again, we started to take our foot off the gas a bit,” Guzan said. “That being said it was a fantastic response.”
Atlanta United scored again in the 46th minute but Giakoumakis, the scorer, was initially ruled to be offside. Referee Rubiel Vazquez reviewed the play and ruled that Montreal’s Gabriele Corbio, under pressure from Silva, passed it to Giakoumakis, which meant he wasn’t offside. After receiving the ball, Giakoumakis chipped Sirois. It was Giakoumakis’ 15th goal.
Ajani Fortune and Mosquera came on in the 71st minute for Muyumba and Lobjanidze. Jamal Thiare made his team debut in the 83rd minute, coming on for Giakoumakis. Tyler Wolff came on at the same time for Silva.
Mosquera finished the scoring in the 89th minute with his second goal this season. Almada earned his 16th assist, extending his league lead.
After taking seven points from three matches in the past eight days, Atlanta United will get a week off before its next match at Philadelphia on Oct. 4. The Union are one of the teams Atlanta United is competing with to finish among the top four.
Philadelphia and Columbus played to draws Saturday. All three teams are tied with 49 points but the other two currently have the tie-breakers in their favors.

Today I am killing three at a time. I got so many stories to tell you and with the holidays coming up they promise to be some eye opening FUN FAMILY FACTS...so since i spent so many a day NOT posting, i need to make up for it.
Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
I read a lot of books. I read more in the summer and this summer was no different. I read The Kite Runner. This book made me realize that even though there is a lot in the media about the war and the Taliban, you really don’t know what it is all about until you put yourself there.
No, I wasn’t there but this book opened my eyes to a lot more than I would have been seeing if I hadn’t.
Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
My answer on this question and the next are pretty much the same.
Every person is different in so many ways.
Do I think that gay couples should marry?
Well, my inner heart says that if you love someone whether same or different sex and you were meant to be with that person for the rest of your life, why should you not be able to be with them?
Marriage has such a different meaning in society than it does in religion. Marriage of two people is a joining. Gay couples should be able to marry in society. I don’t think that it should be something that happens in the church.
Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
I think my religion is MY religion. Your religion is YOUR religion. God has his presence in all religions but it is not my place to say yours is better or mine is right.
Politics on the other hand…I don’t discuss with people.

The publishing world is continually bemoaning the destruction of our attention spans and dwindling appetite for books, and it’s possible to lay the blame squarely upon one particular snippet of the Internet world: cat videos.
But the editors at Coffee House Press believe that it’s possible to laugh at someone else’s cat — who is doing the same annoying things our own cat does — and also sit down with a book that deconstructs our appreciation of cats and cat videos. “Cat Is Art Spelled Wrong” is a collection of essays that not just tries to make sense of our fascination with the inane and cute, but makes the case that cat videos are a form of art.
“The project originated at the first catvidfest. Coffee House had gone as a staff, not expecting more than a nice evening, but by the time we left, [publisher] Chris Fischbach and I knew there had to be a project in there for us. It was so magical,” says Caroline Casey, one of the editors who helped herd 14 writers to expound on cat videos.
Those who attended Wednesday’s sold-out 4th annual Internet Cat Video Festival might agree. A giant green Heart of the Beast cat puppet chased by mice floated around the outfield at CHS Field, fans met with Internet-famous cat videographers, Barb Abney blasted songs about cats, painters sold cat art and the human spectacle — well, there were 13,000 cat people there, and you could tell.
Cat haters need not stop reading here, because “Cat Is Art” also includes contributions by, not cat haters exactly, but cat ambivalents. Most noteworthy among them is David Carr, who starts out by saying, “I don’t hate all cats. I like one cat.”
“The David Carr essay came about because he’s from Minneapolis, and he had covered the first catvidfest for the New York Times,” said Casey. “We knew he’d be reliably smart, funny and contrary. And he didn’t disappoint. The essay is, as far as I know, the first of his work to come out since his death. And we’re really so proud to have him in the book, and that his widow, Jill Rooney Carr, loves it too.”
Other writers in the collection include Matthea Harvey, Alexis Madrigal, Ander Monson and Will Braden, who spoke at Wednesday’s event to a crowd who would rather have seen his artistically morose cat, Henri le Chat, onstage; when Henri’s 10th video screened, a thrill ran through the crowd. A mix of arts writers, poets, essayists and fiction writers is interspersed with cat video insiders like Kevin Nguyen, who began his career with “I Can Has Cheezburger” [sic] and reveals it to be a low-paying, soulless content farm, the dark underbelly of a site designed to make people laugh (or to sell advertising).
“Cat videos are interesting on so many levels, so there had to be essays that approached the subject from a lot of different vantage points. And we worked really hard to make sure that even the more academically inclined essays weren’t going to be inaccessible to a smart, interested reader. There’s nothing in the book that the average New Yorker subscriber couldn’t manage, and that was the goal.”
In other words, Coffee House isn’t too worried that book lovers will devolve into YouTube zombies, endlessly watching cats fall off tables and wake up humans and bop each other. We might want to sometimes read about cats, too.
“Anything that engages this many people is worth talking about, and it’s part of our mission as a publisher to create all kinds of literary experiences — the thrust of our Books in Action programming is to create off-the-page ways for people to interact with literature,” said Casey. “Why not take an online, 100 percent not literary phenomenon and give it a book?”
