Empty seats at Mem Cup hot topic
Kevin Mitchell, The StarPhoenixPublished: Saturday, May 25, 2013
Yeah, the top-end talent's been great at this week's Memorial Cup - Seth Jones, Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin, et al - but the empty blue seats at Saskatoon's Credit Union Centre are the real stars.
Everybody's talking about those seats - vast tracts of blue, unsold and empty, plainly visible on every telecast. Twitter's all over those empty seats; it's a hot topic of conversation in the arena's bowels where scouts and media mix and mingle.
Even absent-minded anthem singers are given second-class status when talk turns to seats.
Attendance has been a hot topic of discussion at the 2013 Memorial Cup in Saskatoon
Gord Waldner
Things reached a crescendo Thursday night, when the host Blades - playing a tiebreaking game with a spot to the semifinal on the line - drew just 7,895, the second smallest crowd of the entire tournament. It was inexplicable and puzzling and, frankly, embarrassing.
Several hours before that game, former Blade Rhett Warrener blasted the team and the committee during his radio show on Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
"Most importantly," he said after pinning some blame for the empty seats on the host Blades' first-round playoff ouster and the recent nice weather, "they've done a terrible job of promoting it and including the fan base in it.
The ownership and the management ... I don't know how many people have called me and said they don't have a clue what they're doing. They've got no organization behind it; they're just throwing balls up in the air and letting it drop. It's just been, from a lot of people I've heard, poorly, poorly, poorly run."
Warrener added that Blades' management has "jaded the fan base, to the point where the people ... it's not just 'I don't feel like going.' They're making a point of not going."
Writer Stephen Brunt, a guest, voiced the opinion of many a few moments later - saying it was "shocking to watch."
"A lot of us," he added, "are saying geez; Saskatchewan, junior hockey, Memorial Cup ... surely this is going to work.
It has been very weird looking on and seeing all those empty seats, not just for games not involving the Blades, but for games when the home team's playing."
I've heard very little about bad organization, it's not bothering the people I've talked to, so we'll leave that alone. But the above comments reflect just how varied the opinion and reaction is to what's happened this week in Saskatoon. We've even had Twitter fights!
The attendance issue is deep and complicated, so here's some cold, hard numbers:
Credit Union Centre holds 15,195. The tournament so far has drawn 71,015 fans, an average of 8,877 per game. That 71,015 is the seventh highest total all-time with one game still to play, and should move up to fourth; the average is sixth all-time.
This tournament was never going to sell out. Doing so would have blown away the record 121,561, set in Vancouver in 2007, a number that dwarfs the runner-up 84,686 (Quebec City; 2003).
The Memorial Cup is, historically, an 8,000 to 10,000-fan event, less in small arenas. Saskatoon fits into those parameters this year, even with terrible-looking optics coming from an arena that's cavernous by most junior-hockey standards.

Upcoming Lectures & Literary Programs
The Immigrant and the University:
Peder Sather and Gold Rush California
Book Talk with Karin Sveen
Monday, October 27, 6:30 pm
Norwegian writer Karin Sveen, author of The Immigrant and the University: Peder Sather and Gold Rush California (University of California Press, 2014), tells the story of a poor Norwegian farm boy who achieves the American dream: Peder Sather was living on a farm in a remote corner of Norway when he immigrated to the U.S. in 1832 and made a large fortune that he then used to found the University of California, Berkeley.
The Immigrant and the University will be available for signing and purchase after the program.
About Peder Sather
and the book
Peder Sather was a scribe before he emigrated from Norway to New York in 1832. There, he worked as a servant and a clerk at a lottery office before opening an exchange brokerage. During the gold rush, he moved to San Francisco to help establish the banking house of Drexel, Sather & Church on Montgomery Street. Sather was a founder and a liberal benefactor of the University of California, Berkeley, where he is memorialized by the Sather Gate and Sather Tower (the Campanile), three endowed professorships, and more recently the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study.
The book offers readers a look at the life of a successful entrepreneur and a leading patron of California who engaged in all levels of public education; supported Abraham Lincoln; and worked to give emancipated slaves housing, schooling, and employment after the Civil War. Sather's legacy, vivid persona, and the frontier city of his time are brought to life with interesting anecdotes of many famous people – General William T. Sherman, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, Norwegian violinist Ole Bull, and above all, his close friend Anthony J. Drexel, legendary Philadelphia financier and one of the founders of Wall Street.
About the author
Karin Sveen is a Norwegian poet, novelist, and essayist. She was awarded the Norsk språkpris (Norwegian Language Prize) in 2007.
Supported in part by NORLA – Norwegian Literature Abroad: Fiction & Non-Fiction and Norwegian House Foundation.
New Developments in the Arctic

Helsinki Noir Book Launch & Panel
Tuesday, November 11, 6:30 pm
In recognition of Helsinki Noir's debut, book contributors Leena Lehtolainen and Riikka Ala-Harja sit down for a conversation on the state of Finnish crime fiction, moderated by Brooklyn Noir editor Tim McLoughlin.
The excitement around Scandinavian crime fiction coming in the wake of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has focused largely on Sweden, but Finland – as poignantly revealed in Helsinki Noir (Akashic Books, 2014) – is equally strong in the noir department. Helsinki Noir joins Copenhagen Noir in representing the Akashic Noir Series in the far north of Europe.
The book features brand-new stories by Leena Lehtolainen, Johanna Holmström, James Thompson, Antti Tuomainen, Jesse Itkonen, Joe L. Murr, Jukka Petäjä, Tapani Bagge, Pekka Hiltunen, Teemu Käskinen, Tuomas Lius, Riikka Ala-Harja, Karo Hämäläinen, and Jarkko Sipilä.
About the participants
Riikka Ala-Harja (b. 1967) is a Finnish author and playwright. She has published two children's books and six novels; Hole/Reikä (2013) was her first collection of short stories. The Landing/Maihinnousu (2012) was also published in Estonia and is the second of her novels to be nominated for the Finlandia, Finland's greatest literary prize – the first being her prose debut Tom Tom Tom (1998). Ala-Harja lives in Helsinki.
Leena Lehtolainen (b. 1964) is the most successful female crime author in Finland; her titles consistently top the country's best-seller lists and her best-known character is the tough, down-to-earth, and emotionally intelligent police officer Maria Kallio. More than two million copies of Lehtolainen's books have been sold worldwide and her works have been translated into 29 languages. The author also works as a literary researcher, columnist, and critic.
Tim McLoughlin is the editor of the multiple award-winning anthology Brooklyn Noir (Akashic Books, 2004), Brooklyn Noir 2: The Classics (Akashic Books, 2005), and is the co-editor of Brooklyn Noir 3: Nothing but the Truth (Akashic Books, 2008). His debut novel Heart of the Old Country was the 2003 recipient of Italy's Premio Penne Award and was the basis of the feature film The Narrows (2008), starring Vincent D'onofrio. McLoughlin's short fiction and essays have appeared in numerous literary magazines and anthologies, and his work has been included in The Best American Mystery Stories (Mariner Books, 2005). He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Special thanks to Akashic Books and FILI – Finnish Literature Exchange.
Co-presented by Music & Literature Magazine and in collaboration with the Consulate General of Finland in New York and the Royal Norwegian Consulate General, New York.

Beneath the Ice: Contemporary Icelandic Poetry
Thursday, January 8, 2015, 6:30 pm
Free | #IcelandArt
Despite its remote location and small population, Iceland has an extremely vibrant contemporary poetry scene. Through conversation and performance editor Helen Mitsios and translator Sola Bjarnadóttir-O'Connell will introduce four of the country's most celebrated contemporary writers: poets Einar Már Guðmundsson, Didda Jónsdóttir, Gerður Kristný, and poet/song-writer Megas.
About the participants
Sola Bjarnadóttir-O'Connell is a translator and the recipient of The American-Scandinavian Foundation's Leif and Inger Sjöberg Translation Award (2013) for her translation of selected poems by Icelandic poet Gyrðir Elíasson. A native Icelander who has lived in New York for the past 30 years, Bjarnadóttir-O'Connell is pursuing a lifelong interest in bringing Icelandic poetry and literature to an English speaking audience. She is the translator of the forthcoming collection of contemporary Icelandic poetry Beneath the Ice: Contemporary Icelandic Poetry (Talisman House, Publishers, 2014).
Einar Már Guðmundsson (b. 1954, Reykjavík) is an award winning and widely translated Icelandic author of novels, short stories, and poetry. He received his B.A. in Comparative Literature and History from the University of Iceland in 1979, after which he moved to Copenhagen for graduate work in Comparative Literature at the University in Copenhagen. A leading voice of neorealism, his poetic diction is a bold attempt to make slang and foreign loan words legal tender in poetry, and to draw images from everyday life.
Guðmundsson's first collection of poetry Is Anyone Here Wearing the Korona Line?/Er nokkur í kórónfötum hér inni? was published in 1980 (Gallerí Suðurgata 7). In 1985 he received first prize in a literary competition held by Almenna Bókafélagið, Book Publishers and Book Club, for the novel The Knights of the Spiral Staircase/Riddarar hringstigans (Almenna bókafélagið, 1982). The highly acclaimed novel Angels of the Universe/Englar alheimsins (Mare's Nest, 1995) received the Nordic Council's Literary Prize in 1995. Director Friðrik Þór Friðriksson's film based on the book premiered in Reykjavík in 2000. In 2012 Guðmundsson was awarded the Swedish Academy Nordic Prize.
Didda Jónsdóttir (b. 1964, Selfoss) published her first book, the poetry collection A Gathering of Sins and Loose Screws/Lastafans og lausar skrúfur, in 1995 (Forlagið). She has since published two novels – Erta (Forlagið, 1997) and The Gold in the Head/Gullið í höfðinu (Forlagið, 1999). Jónsdóttir also starred in Stormy Weather by French/Icelandic director Sólveig Anspach, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003, and received the Icelandic Edda Film Award for Best Actress for her role in the film. Jónsdóttir worked with Anspach again, starring in the director's 2008 film Back Soon/Skrapp út, which screened at Scandinavia House in 2009.
Gerður Kristný (b. 1970, Reykjavík) has published poetry, short stories, novels, and books for children. She graduated with a degree in French and Comparative Literature from the University of Iceland in 1992. After a course in Media Studies at the University of Iceland from 1992-93, she trained at Denmark's Radio TV. Kristný was editor of the magazine Mannlif from 1998-2004 and now is full-time writer.
Among her numerous awards are the Children's Choice Book Prize in 2003 for her book Smart Marta/Marta Smarta (Mál og menning, 2002), the Halldór Laxness Literary Award in 2004 for her novel A Boat With a Sail and All/Bátur með segil og allt (Mál og menning, 2004), and the West-Nordic Children's Literature Prize in 2010 for the novel The Garden/Garðurinn (Mál og menning, 2008). Kristný's collection of poetry A Weak Spot/Höggstaður (Mál og menning, 2007) was nominated for the Icelandic Literature Prize in 2007; she later won the prize in 2010 for her book of poetry Blood-Hoof/Blóðhófnir (Mál og menning, 2010), which is based on the myth about Freyr and the poet's namesake Gerður Gymisdóttir from the Eddic poem Skírnimál.
Megas (Magnús Þór Jónsson) (b. 1945, Reykjavík) is one of Iceland's most prolific and controversial artists and has been active since the 1970s. A poet, songwriter, and performer, he is widely considered the father of Icelandic rock and roll. His inclusion in Beneath the Ice: Contemporary Icelandic Poetry (Talisman House, Publishers, 2014) is the first time he has permitted his poems to be translated and published in English.
Helen Mitsios is the editor of the forthcoming book Beneath the Ice: Contemporary Icelandic Poetry (Talisman House, Publishers, 2014). She is the editor of Digital Geishas and Talking Frogs: The Best 21st Century Short Stories from Japan (Cheng & Tsui, 2011) and New Japanese Voices: The Best Contemporary Fiction from Japan (Grove/Atlantic, Inc., 2003), which was listed as a New York Times Book Review Summer Reading Selection and New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. Mitsios has contributed to publications including The Philadelphia Inquirer, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Washington Post's Book World.
Supported in part by the Icelandic Literature Center.

Story of Jumping Mouse
Posted November 12, 2006
A Wonderful Story of Unselfishness and Caring
Are you unselfish enough to give up your eyesight and your sense of smell for a stranger? Many would say no, but that is just what Jumping Mouse did in this story. This is a beautiful story about a small mouse who after hearing of a far off land knows that he will never be satisfied without seeing it for himself. On the way the little mouse meets several people with various problems, and recalling the help of the Magic Frog, decides to help them out. He ends us losing his eyesight to a bison and his sense of smell to a wolf. How will little Jumping Mouse every be able to make it the far off land of his dreams without these things, read this wonderful story to find out. The author of this book John Steptoe was born in Brooklyn. From childhood Steptoe has been drawing pictures and making up stories to go along with them, so his natural progression into children literature was really no surprise. He is the illustrator for fifteen picture books, ten of which he wrote as well. Mr. Steptoe has also won several prestigious awards for his work, along with the Caldecott Honor Medal that he got for this book, he has won the Coretta Scott King Award twice, and the Caldecott Honor Award for another of his books.Was this review helpful?

Apollo/ New Ratmansky/ New Wheeldon, Royal Ballet | Dance reviews, news & interviews
Apollo/ New Ratmansky/ New Wheeldon, Royal Ballet
Two world premieres by two celebrated choreographers tick familiar boxes, hey-ho
Two world premieres in one night is almost more pressure than anyone can bear - choreographers, commissioning company or audience. Still more when the spotlit dancemakers are probably the two top Western names in the art, Alexei Ratmansky and Christopher Wheeldon. Everyone, but everyone, expects masterpieces.
The curse of Apollo strikes, however. That is Balanchine's Apollo, still as shockingly new and explicitly thrilling today as it was 85 years ago, and - as an opener on the triple bill - putting down a marker against which the premieres have to compete. A blessing on last night's opening cast, with Carlos Acosta as sumptuous as a lion in his pride, surrounded by his three lionesses, Marianela Nuñez, Olivia Cowley and Itziar Mendizabal.
Acosta treats the sun metaphor (which Apollo, the god of sun and art, embodies) as the warmth on his back, the light on his face. He thrusts his hands into the air palms up, collecting sunshine, beaming his elemental force back to us with wonderful, almost jazzy sensuousness. It's a terrific way to be Apollo - nothing grandiose or po-faced about this god, just heat, power and sex. (Below, Acosta as Apollo, Nuñez as Terpsichore)
But then follows the hissing sound of deflation. Both Wheeldon and Ratmansky are committed masters of classical ballet for today, each capable on occasion of creations of unique expressive imperativeness. Here, I sense on first view, both have produced work of expected skill, which feel as if they're fulfilling the commissioning company's expectations rather than either of them insisting on saying something keenly personal.
I wanted to be enjoying more than a balletic box of chocolates
One thing united the three works last night: the casual thrashing given to music as a component of ballet. The Apollo was played by the ROH strings under Barry Wordsworth as if sponging a wall with wet rags, rather than addressing the vibrant morning clarity of Stravinsky's music. That though can be fixed in later performances.
However, Ratmansky, the Bolshoi Ballet's inspiring and revitalising director from 2004 to 2008, has rot in his new ballet's foundations: he's saddled a drawing-room piece for four star couples with an orchestration of Chopin preludes that turns pellucid piano ephemera into cloying sludge, heavy on cellos, sucking at the ears in horrid un-Chopinesque noises. Meanwhile Wheeldon's heroic desire to choreograph Benjamin Britten in his centenary year alighted on the undanceable Sinfonia da Requiem. Choreographers, by laying dance over a fine piece of music, are accepting a challenge to add something that, once added, you won't want to not have. That's what the 25-year-old Balanchine did with Stravinsky's Apollo in 1928, and every step in it is blindingly assertive and unexpected, even today.

The latest unsettling news about the widening melamine scandal — that fish meal used at state fish hatcheries and other fish-rearing operations also was tainted with the chemical — leaves consumers wondering what's safe to eat anymore and how to lower their risk when food-shopping or eating out.
Q: Have any contaminated fish made it into the food supply?
A: There have been no reports so far. But the fish meal tainted with melamine was sent to salmon farms as well as farms raising trout and other types of fish.
Six state fish hatcheries were among those receiving the food. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife said the tainted feed was pulled Tuesday.
Some of the juvenile fish that received the tainted food already have been released, but they are still small and won't be available for harvest for another three to four years.
Some of the tainted food also was tracked to hatcheries in Oregon. Federal officials haven't yet said where else the fish meal was used.
Q: Is it still safe to eat salmon and other fish? What about pork and chicken?

For the full list of recalled pet foods, go here: www.accessdata.fda.gov
A: At this point, no food-safety experts or government agencies are calling for changes in the way people eat, order or shop for meat or fish as a result of the melamine scare.
The new U.S. "food czar," David Acheson of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said this on Tuesday:
"As with the situation with the poultry and the hogs, the levels that we're seeing in the fish meal are very comparable. ... We do not believe there is any significant human-health risk associated with consuming these fish."
The FDA also has not recalled any meat from animals fed contaminated products.
Scientists at five federal agencies conducted a risk assessment released Monday.
They found that even if a person ate only foods contaminated with melamine every day, at the same levels found in animals fed the tainted feed, the potential exposure was still about 2,500 times below the threshold considered unsafe.
Q: What is melamine?
A: Melamine is a small, nitrogen-containing molecule that has a number of industrial uses, including as an industrial binding agent, flame retardant and as part of a polymer in the manufacture of cooking utensils and plates. Melamine is also used as a fertilizer in some parts of the world, though it is not registered for use as a fertilizer in the United States.
Q: If this same chemical has sickened and killed pets, why is it considered a low risk for humans?
A: The tainted feed was not the sole food consumed by the animals and fish that received it.
It was diluted, mixed in with other kinds of feed, and that's important because it probably minimizes the risk of toxicity, said Michael Doyle, director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia.
At this point, it's not even clear that melamine enters the muscle tissue of fish and animals consumed by humans, noted Karen Killinger-Mann, consumer food-safety specialist with the Washington State University Extension Service.
Cats and dogs sickened by the melamine-tainted pet food suffered kidney damage, she noted, and the amount of melamine in their food may have been more concentrated.
The hogs and poultry eating tainted food haven't shown kidney problems and were exposed to lower overall levels of melamine.
In addition, melamine is not believed to accumulate in the bodies of animals; it is rapidly excreted in the urine, according to the FDA, and not metabolized.
Q: Should pregnant women, young children or the elderly take extra precautions?
A: Special populations are already warned to watch what fish they eat (some carry other toxins). The melamine scare has not prompted any new recommendations for those groups.
Q: OK, so they say the risk is low. But people now could be exposed to melamine from three different sources: fish, chicken and pork. Couldn't that raise the risk?
A: The FDA said it is doing another risk assessment on that issue. Right now, it's too soon to say.
Q: There's been a lot of talk about other contaminants that might cause a health risk to fish eaters. Are some fish safer to eat than others?
A: The state Department of Health encourages fish eaters to include a variety of fish in their diets, but also to limit consumption of fish that have higher levels of PCBs or mercury.
Q: What's the latest on the pet-food scare? What's safe to feed my cat or dog?
A: In the past two months, more than 100 pet-food products have been recalled because they were found to contain wheat flour and rice proteins spiked with melamine. As recently as last week, additional pet foods were placed on the list.
The FDA has confirmed more than a dozen pet deaths from melamine poisoning, although it reports getting some 10,000 complaints from pet owners, many of whom believe their pets were also poisoned by melamine.
Local pet-supply stores say some pet owners are switching to premium brands, raw foods or even making their own pet food as a result. Others are looking more closely at the ingredient list before they buy.
Q: What are officials doing to make sure this doesn't happen again?
A: The FDA and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) say they are conducting full investigations and will continue to monitor imported wheat and corn gluten as well as rice-protein concentrate destined for human or animal consumption.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is continuing laboratory testing of products as they enter the country. And the FDA is looking at a more comprehensive animal-feed safety system.
But critics say the widening scandal shows there are big holes in the government's food-safety system.
The U.S. imports about 15 percent of its food, a rate that's been doubling every five to 10 years, Doyle noted. At that rate, we could be importing more than half our food in the next 15 to 20 years.
Yet the FDA samples and tests less than 1 percent of imported food, Doyle said.
"What this has shown is how much contamination can occur throughout our food chain" when a toxin is introduced by an exporter and not caught by inspectors, he said.
"We're going to need pretty darn good procedures in place in coming years to ensure our food safety," he said. "I don't see a lot of federal action being taken to fix it."

Study says neonics are widespread in Iowa waters
A class of insecticides popular with corn and soybean farmers in the U.S. Midwest but feared as a factor in the decline of U.S. honey bee colonies and other crop pollinators, has been found to be widespread through rivers and streams in Iowa, according to a government study released on Thursday.
The study, released by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, marks the first broad-scale investigation of multiple neonicotinoid insecticides in waterways in the Midwestern U.S., and is one of the first conducted within the entire United States, according to the government scientists.
In the report, 79 water samples from across Iowa, the top U.S. corn-producing state, were collected during the 2013 growing season. Researchers said the use of neonicotinoid insecticides has grown in recent years, and they found them to be both "mobile and persistent" with "a strong pulse of neonicotinoids associated with crop planting" in streams.
The researchers said the broad use of the neonicotinoids, "needs to be closely examined in relation to environmental impacts."
Similar studies by the USGS have found many other types of common agricultural chemicals in stream samples in Iowa, but researchers said there was a "substantially greater neonicotinoid detection frequency" observed in this study compared to historical detections of other insecticides.
Neonicotinoids, also known as neonics, are sold by agrichemical companies to boost yields of staple crops, but are also used widely on annual and perennial plants in lawns and gardens. Neonics, chemically similar to nicotine, are commonly applied to the seeds before they are planted.
As use of the neonics has grown, some scientists have linked the insecticides to large losses in honey bee colonies that are considered critical for the production of many U.S. crops. Honey bees pollinate plants that produce about a quarter of U.S. consumer foods, according to the U.S. government.
Many agrichemical companies, including Bayer, whose neonic products are top sellers around the world, say there are a mix of factors killing off the bees and that neonics are important tools for boosting crop production.

There are moments when poetic ecstasy trumps reality and remakes the thing forever: "O Sleepless as the river under thee,/Vaulting the sea, the prairies' dreaming sod,/ Unto us lowliest sometimes sweep, descend/And of the curveship lend a myth to God." Though the Brooklyn Bridge was Hart Crane's towering metaphor, he wasn't alone in finding inspiration there (see also Bishop and Kerouac). Yet, for some, it's hard to walk it and not imagine his potted progress "onward and up the crystal-flooded aisle." For the ninth consecutive year, poets and devotees will take a similar walk, from Manhattan's Municipal Building to Fulton Ferry Landing, stopping to read poems inspired by the bridge and the city from the likes of Audre Lorde and Charles Simic. Bill Murray reads Frank O'Hara's "Steps"; Manhattan Borough Prez C. Virginia Fields reads Langston Hughes's "Subway Rush Hour." Later, there'll be a dinner at St. Anne's Warehouse at which Robert "Iron John" Bly will receive the Elizabeth Kray Award for Service to Poetry; but the highlight's sure to be Galway Kinnell's recitation of Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," a connection scribed across time on a loved city: " . . . Brooklyn of ample hills was mine,/I too walked the streets of Manhattan island."

Music from this release
- Schoolboy Q: "Collard Greens" [ft. Kendrick Lamar] (via SoundCloud)
Two years into Black Hippy's mainstream rap takeover the efficacy of TDE's hit factory is still a marvel to watch. As a group, pensive Compton good guy Kendrick Lamar, gang-affiliated L.A. street rap classicist Jay Rock, suburban psychotropic-loving conspiracy theorist Ab-Soul and drug dealing party animal Schoolboy Q unite to offer a panoramic view of Southern Californian inner city rot. In-house production teams Digi+Phonics and THC buoy the rhymes in excitingly quirky sonics, while gifted recording engineer Mixed By Ali keeps it all sounding winningly crisp and plush. The team has crafted over half a dozen albums together in just four years, and at this juncture, you can almost tell ahead of time what you're going to get coming into a new TDE project. Although Kendrick's good kid, m.A.A.d city revealed a Dickensian eye for storytelling and a knack for radio-savvy singles that didn't wander too far off the plot—and sold a million copies in the process—the mechanics of his sound didn't change much. You could easily slide "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" somewhere into Q's Habits and Contradictions or Soul's Control System without a bumpy transition. Consistency breeds familiarity, but as Schoolboy Q releases his Interscope debut Oxymoron, the precarious followup to his brother-in-arms' mainstream windfall, the axiom sometimes proves a liability.
Schoolboy Q specializes in hairpin turns from cautionary street tales and remorseful reflection into wanton bacchanal, and Oxymoron is essentially a volleyball match between his warring proclivities. Opener "Gangsta" kicks off with Q coldly admonishing a street worker for thinking pneumonia gets her the day off, but after the raucous set-repping "Los Awesome", "Collard Greens" drags us to the club for elite liver putrefaction. Then it's back to the block for a few until "Studio" pops up pining for affection after a stressful day of recording. Oxymoron punctuates its seriousness of purpose with stress-free jingles, like a rap game The Who Sell Out, but it skirts falling apart because Q has cut a figure that seems equally at home throwing back shots and bagging up rocks. His skill set is varied enough to sell a terse, hypnotic vamp like "Collard Greens" off of personality alone, effect a snarling menace bouncing crack dealer bromides off 2 Chainz on "What They Want", and then methodically juggle cadences and syllables relating the story of an uncle's drug-addled downfall on "Hoover Street". Q's wildman delivery does most of the heavy lifting on the slighter material here, but you see the true depth of his songwriting talents in detail obsessed verses on "Break the Bank", where he lets slip where the pills were stashed back when he sold, and "Prescription/Oxymoron" where Q, holed up at home munching prescription pills, catalogs all the calls he ignores as he hurtles toward an overdose ("My phone rang, rang and rang and rang/ If you ain't sellin' drugs, then I don't hear a thing"). Thing is, these crack storytelling twists are occasionally drowned in formalist gangsta rap boilerplate.
Oxymoron is painfully aware of its place in the pantheon of hardcore West Coast rap, from the guest list, which calls in vets like slick-tongued Oakland pimp Suga Free and Dogg Pound wordsmith Kurupt alongside Odd Future magnate Tyler, the Creator, New York mafioso rap architect Raekwon and Atlanta trap court jester 2 Chainz to accentuate the commonalities between two generations of drug trafficking goon rap, to its struggle to imbue druggy levity and horned-up bedroom dispatches with a hardened, streetwise edge. Q is never less than engaging in this juggling act (though the brattier numbers can grate, like "Los Awesome", which sounds like mid-2000s T.I. getting his hands on some quality speed), but he can come off sounding more interested in ticking off his wiseguy bona fides than introducing the person underneath. His 2012 independent album Habits and Contradictions made a much better go of it, from "My Homie"'s wounded story of a friend who turned out to be an embedded undercover cop to "My Hatin' Joint", which pulled off the song-for-the-ladies trope with a comically petty air of vindictiveness, to "Oxy Music", which blueprints Oxymoron's drug using drug dealer conceit with much more gripping imagery. Oxymoron is gruff and goofy in all the right places, and enticingly lush as one could expect from a TDE project (for instance: the pogoing drums and plinking keys of "Collard Greens", the perpetually melting synth Tyler suspends over Q and Kurupt on "The Purge", Pharrell's keys on "Los Awesome", equal parts EDM debauchery and arcade overdrive). But a whiff of formula makes for an experience that coolly whisks along on rails where it should be bounding off them.
Q shines the most when he's able to reconcile his hustler past with his rap star present rather than mining each separately. "Hell of a Night" showcases a trap-house hybrid from DJ Dahi, fresh off Drake's "Worst Behaviour", and Q cuts loose, partying hard because he's lived hard enough to deserve it ("I ain't minding if the world stops/ We been living up in hell's shop"). "Break the Bank" and the Chromatics-sampling "Man of the Year" follow suit in affixing the happy ending to Oxymoron's war stories while serving up the album's most memorable hooks. The quality that sold the gangsta rap classics Q clearly studied in the process of making this album was an ability to tease triumph out of the mouth of adversity, and Oxymoron really takes off when the streak of songs that close the album proper stumbles onto the equation. Small wonder that the majority of its singles are culled from there.
Oxymoron is a victory in that Q's sound has made the jump to the majors fully intact in an era where major label debuts often take a chop shop approach to assembly. Interscope's trust in TDE saves the album from the awkward test tube collaborations that bog down many of its peers, but Oxymoron's doubling down on a reliable formula makes for a relatively risk-averse listen. We don't find out much about Q's character or capabilities that we didn't already know coming in, and a few of the tried and true song tropes here deliver diminishing returns. There isn't a bad song in the bunch, but you get the sense that three albums in, Q's readymade sense of what a Schoolboy Q album should sound like is as much a safety net prohibiting outright failure as it is a hindrance to true progression.

Online learning environments—on campus or at a distance—and the policy issues that affect them have come to the forefront of higher education. As policy-makers consider how to dramatically increase the percentage of the population with a postsecondary degree or credential within significant, long-term resource constraints, online and blended learning options dominate the discourse. And rapid enrollment growth in e-learning courses and programs signals that students and the public at large also see online and blended options as increasingly attractive.
