Rene Ayangma, a 20-year-old star athlete and full-time university student who was studying to become a doctor, died suddenly while training for a boxing match at a Prince Edward Island gym Tuesday. He was the second young athlete to die in Canada this week. On Monday, Windsor OHL hockey player Mickey Renaud, 19, collapsed and died at his home. Ayangma “had just started (mixed martial arts’) ultimate fighting and he was being trained to go in matches across Canada,” said friend Kayla Arsenault, describing Ayangma as a dedicated athlete who loved all sports and always won his matches. She said he had never taken drugs or steroids and rarely ever drank because “he didn’t have time with all his studying” to become a doctor. The province’s chief coroner is investigating and an autopsy was scheduled for yesterday. Mixed martial arts: 20-year-old P.E.I. athlete dies while training

I am going to have "butternut reduction" stuck in my head all day. I don't want to be singing alone, so I had to share this video with all of you. It's called "Akon Calls T-Pain" and it's brought to you by Super Deluxe.

Anyone want some lime on a steak soaked in wine?

2001: A Space Odyssey revisited after 40 years


Scott says: "This is a great commentary on the 40th anniversary of Kubrick's masterpiece."

The site includes this YouTube clip from an interview with Kubrick.

The famously sniffish Renata Adler got to weigh in during her short-lived reign at the New York Times: "There is one ultimate science-fiction voyage of a man (Keir Dullea) through outer and inner space, through the phases of his own life in time thrown out of phase by some higher intelligence, to his death and rebirth in what looked like an intergalactic embryo... Its real energy seem to derive from that bespectacled prodigy reading comic books around the block. The whole sensibility is intellectual fifties child: chess games, bodybuilding exercises, beds on the spacecraft that look like camp bunks, other beds that look like Egyptian mummies, Richard Strauss music, time games, Strauss waltzes, Howard Johnson's, birthday phone calls... [T]he uncompromising slowness of the movie makes it hard to sit through without talking—and people on all sides when I saw it were talking almost throughout the film. Very annoying. With all its attention to detail—a kind of reveling in its own I.Q.—the movie acknowledged no obligation to validate its conclusion for those, me for example, who are not science-fiction buffs. By the end, three unreconciled plot lines—the slabs, Dullea's aging, the period bedroom—are simply left there like a Rorschach, with murky implications of theology. This is a long step outside the convention, some extra scripts seem required, and the all-purpose answer, 'relativity,' does not really serve unless it can be verbalized."

University prof says students can't sell notes from his classes because it violates his copyright

Michael Moulton, a prof at the University of Florida, is suing a company tha republishes his students' notes from class, because he says that taking notes on his classes and selling them violates his copyright.
Those notes are illegal, Faulkner and Moulton contend, since they are derivative works of the professor's copyrighted lectures.

If successful, the suit (.pdf) could put an end to a lucrative, but ethically murky businesses that have grown up around large universities to profit from students who don't always want to go to the classes they are paying for.

The suit could also have ramifications for more longstanding businesses such as Cliffs Notes, which summarize copyrighted novels.

Faulkner Press publishes two e-textbooks that Moulton wrote and uses in his classes, and sells its own set of class notes for the course.
