Video: Jacob Lusk Singing 'God Bless The Child' On American Idol Posted: 18 Feb 2011 11:17 AM PST The notion of an American Idol contestant singing Billie Holiday’s “God Bless The Child” sounds like a terrible idea. But somehow, a 23-year-old spa concierge from Compton, California made it work last night. Jacob Lusk took the stage during last night’s final Hollywood show of the season and got a standing ovation from the judges and all his fellow contestants. MTVNews called it “one of the most stunning, stirring auditions ever seen on the Idol stage.” And it looks like Jacob will definitely be someone to watch this season.

Video: Thom Yorke Is 'The King Of Limbs' Posted: 18 Feb 2011 11:17 AM PST In case you haven’t heard, Radiohead has a new album out today. It’s called The King of Limbs. And as if to demonstrate the literalness of the album, the first video out is for the song “Lotus Flower” and features lead singer Thom Yorke vigorously dancing around in a bowler hate. We’re almost with Ultragrrl, who says that this video is what you would get if you mixed the aesthetics of Black Swan with A Clockwork Orange. But it seems more likely that Thom Yorke is the King of Limbs and we must all bow our appendages to him now in homage. No? As a side note, those of you reading this on February 18 should tune in to NPR to listen to Radiohead’s whole album, which is livestreaming starting at 2P.

Colleges Crack Down On Cafeteria Trays To Avoid Creating Campus Fatties Posted: 18 Feb 2011 10:23 AM PST In the latest non-intuitive bid to save the environment, colleges across the country are cracking down on the use of food trays in cafeterias. Apparently maintaining and washing the trays consumes a lot of soap and water. Also, college kids load up trays with more food – and waste – when trays are used. Which leads me to believe college are simply doing this to have fewer fatties on their campuses. Let’s take a look at the evidence. According to The Washington Post: “When Virginia Tech’s largest dining hall reopened several years ago, some administrators jokingly dubbed it the “freshman 25″ cafeteria, for the number of pounds some students might gain from the tasty fare.” That’s the opening sentence of this article. And sure, there are some environmental reasons for the shift: “It started as an Earth Week experiment during the 2008 spring semester, when student volunteers weighed the amount of food waste in dining halls with and without trays. Without trays, students wasted 38 percent less food. By summer, the trays were gone in the two main dining halls on campus, D2 and Shultz.” But eating on an unlimited meal plan is usually the reason for that infamous “Freshman 15.” And a few quotes from the article prove that kids stuff their faces in cafeterias: “When I go to D2, my goal is to eat as much as possible,” said Shamy, now a junior majoring in public and urban affairs. Without a tray, “you can only get one plate and a cup.” That’s one way to get your student body to lose weight, colleges. But let’s not pretend that this is just an environmental decision. Less waste in the cafeteria also means less food being purchased, and less cost to the school. But that’s not the way it’s being sold. Yup, sold: “Going trayless is usually sold to students as an environmental move. Less water, soap and electricity is used if there are no trays to wash, and less food is wasted.” Colleges like Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, James Madison and Marymount universities and the University of Virginia have already ditched cafeteria trays, and more are moving in this direction. Which is great for their bottom line, and probably the weight of their students. But if colleges were really serious about using less water, soap and electricity, they could just tell kids to take fewer showers. That would be so easy and already in line with the way college kids act anyway! (Photo by Grist) Post from: Crushable Colleges Crack Down On Cafeteria Trays To Avoid Creating Campus Fatties
