It has been a busy week for the Chelsea Under-21 side already, having travelled to Newcastle on Monday in the league and secured a credible 1-1 draw at St James' Park against a vastly more experienced side.
However, the week also sees the young Blues' debut in a new knockout competition at Under-21 level, as Dermot Drummy's side enter the inaugural Premier League Cup at the last-16 stage and face a tricky trip to Cardiff City this Friday evening, in a game that is being screened live on Chelsea TV, with kick-off at 7.05pm.
The game gives an opportunity for the manager to rotate his squad and assess the full range of personnel options at his disposal, while also providing some of the older members of the age group, who have graduated from FA Youth Cup football, the chance to continue playing in a knockout cup competition.
Drummy, who was pleased with his team's performance up in the north-east earlier in the week, where Jeremie Boga's equaliser earned a valuable away point, signalled his intention to field some of his players with fewer minutes under their belts this term, rewarding the patience and hard work of those who have had to wait for a chance to impress.
Speaking to the official Chelsea website, he said: 'The beauty of this competition is that I can play some of the players that haven't had a start for a while, like Alex Davey, Danny Pappoe and Adam Nditi. These boys have been training really well but just haven't managed to get in the team and the Under-21 Cup provides an opportunity for us to do something a bit different.
'If we progress forward in the competition we have another game before Christmas, as well as the match against Steaua Bucharest in the UEFA Youth League, which is played in the same week as the FA Youth Cup third Round, so we'll certainly have to manage the boys' playing time, but the main thing is getting them quality, competitive games across the board.'
The winners of the clash at the Cardiff City Stadium on Friday night will progress to the quarter-finals and face a home tie against West Ham United, who defeated Bristol City 2-1 in their last-16 game on Monday evening.
Knockout football at youth level has previously centred solely on the Youth Cup, a competition in which Chelsea have excelled in recent years, reaching the final on three occasions in the last four seasons and winning the trophy twice. It is the hope of the Premier League to elevate their Under-21 Cup to similar heights of prestige as the Youth Cup, albeit for a slightly older age group, and Drummy is pleased it gives those players too old for Youth Cup involvement this campaign a chance to battle in knockout football.
'It is nice for the older boys. We're going to be playing at the first team stadium too, so that's two Premier League grounds we've played at this week after going up to St James' Park on Monday.'
Cardiff will provide a tough test for the travelling Blues, with several players involved in and around the first team and, after a 4-3 win after extra time against Brighton and Hove Albion in the previous round, the young Bluebirds will be looking to claim an even bigger scalp en route to the last eight.
'We've played against Cardiff at Under-18 level a little while ago but this game will be totally different because they'll have boys who, at 19 or 20 years old, are on the periphery of their first team squad, and they'll be desperate to impress,' Drummy added.
'We've had them scouted and we've got a DVD on them which we'll watch. I think it's very important that the lads have some information about the opposition because our first team have it all the time and part of our job is to gear up for that level and that process.'
After three consecutive draws at Under-21 level, Drummy will be looking for some improvement in the Welsh capital and, as well as a win that will send his side through, he also hopes to be given a selection headache for the coming weeks.
'It's an opportunity for those boys coming in to know that, if we win and progress, they're playing in the next game because I certainly will reward them and play that group again. It can be tough for them to keep fit, both physically and mentally, but the game allows them a chance to impress me enough to put them back in the Under-21s, so it's nice that I can actually judge them in a competitive game rather than just in training.'
There is news involving three Chelsea Academy players this week.
Alex Kiwomya, an attacker who has played eight games for the Under-21s this season, has signed a professional contract until 30 June 2016.
Kevin Wright, left-back in four Under-21 games this campaign, signed a new contract which expires 30 June 2015.
Ben Killip, a goalkeeper with four youth team appearances this season and 14 last year, has mutually cancelled his contract and is joining Norwich City. We wish Ben well for the future.
- By Sam Poplett.
-The Under-21s' trip to Cardiff City in the inaugural Premier League Under-21 Cup is screened live on Chelsea TV this Friday evening, with coverage beginning at 7pm.

Women's Basketball Continues Stretch Against Tough Opponents
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia women's basketball team is in the midst of its toughest stretch of the season, taking on some of the best teams, not just in the Peach Belt Conference, but in all of NCAA Division II.
As of Wednesday morning, the Saints' five opponents between last week and this week – the University of Montevallo, Clayton State University, Georgia College, Augusta State University and the University of South Carolina Aiken – include two top-five opponents and a combined record of 52-11.
The Saints (4-8, 2-3 PBC) fought valiantly last week, but ultimately dropped a pair of games, including their second in a row to a late-game bucket, this time at the hands of Montevallo (9-6, 4-2 PBC) on Thursday.
They followed that up on Saturday by taking on then-No. 3 Clayton State (13-0, 6-0 PBC) on the road. The Saints were able to lead the Lakers at several points in the first half, but a 55-point second half that included six three-pointers from nationally-ranked Clayton State, a team not well known for it's three-point shooting, kept the Saints from capitalizing on their early momentum and gave the Lakers an 86-65 victory.
Things will not get any easier for North Georgia as the Saints will play three games in the span of five days starting with a rematch on the road against Georgia College on Thursday, Jan. 17. The Saints will then open a four-game home stand that begins with an Augusta State University team that is on the rise on Saturday, Jan. 19 followed by No. 3 USC Aiken on Monday, Jan. 21.
Saturday's 1:30 p.m. game will be North Georgia's annual "Military Appreciation Day" with all current and former military being admitted free of charge with a valid ID. Monday's 5:30 p.m. contest against USC Aiken is being dubbed "YMCA Night." All children who wear their recreational league jersey to the game will be admitted for free, but parents will still be required to pay the normal ticket price.
The Saints continue to be led by junior Jaymee Carnes' 19.7 points per game, but sophomore guard Stephanie Huffman has seen her stock rise in recent games as she has led the team in scoring in the last two games. On Saturday, Huffman matched her career-high in points with 21 against the Lakers, including 14 in the second half. The native of Woodstock, Ga. has averaged 15.4 points and 7.8 rebounds in 38.8 minutes per game in conference action.
Carnes has not been absent from the court during that stretch, averaging 19.9 points and 9.8 rebounds per game for the season. The All-American from Gainesville, Ga. still leads the team with 7.4 buckets per game, but Huffman has taken over the top spot in shooting percentage as she converts 43.6% of her attempts.
Georgia College (9-3, 5-1 PBC) saw a seven-game win streak come to an end this past Saturday when Young Harris College defeated the Bobcats 66-46. The Mountain Lions shot 52% (26-50) from the field and held the Bobcats to a 36% (18-50) outing from the floor, including just four three-pointers. Young Harris also turned Georgia College's 24 turnovers into 30 points to secure the win.
For the season, Georgia College shoots just above 41% from the field and averages 60 points per game. The Bobcats have mostly relied on the PBC's sixth-leading scorer, Shanteona Keys, to lead the way as the sophomore guard averages 17.0 points per contest and shoots 50% from the field including 44.3% from three-point range. But the last time these two programs met, it was Brandi McKinney coming off the bench to give the Bobcats a spark. The junior guard scored a season-high 23 points, including the game-winning jumper, to lift Georgia College to a 72-71 victory inside Memorial Hall Gymnasium.
The Bobcats' second-leading scorer for the season is Enisha Donley with 9.8 points per game while four Bobcats average more than four rebounds a game led by Thresia Elskamp with 5.5.
After dropping the first two games of January, Augusta State (9-2, 3-2 PBC) earned its first victory of 2013 with a 75-70 win over Armstrong Atlantic State University in Augusta last Saturday.
Augusta State has really seen a turn-around in performance in the past couple years that can be seen this season as they commenced the year with an eight-game win streak. They are currently shooting 40.3% from the field including 32.7% from three-point range.
The Jaguars have been led this season by Jemimah Ashby who has averaged 13.8 points in nine games to this points, but it was fourth-leading scorer Brittany White who led the way in the Jaguars' most recent win as she tallied 16.
Also shouldering the scoring load this season have been Taylor Ayers who comes off the bench to average 12.6 points per contest and Tranchelle Hollingsworth who has started all 11 games for Augusta State and averages 11.2 points.
Under the basket, Ayers leads the way with 7.6 rebounds per game while Becky Newhouse, Laci Schreiber and Tiffany Jaecks all average over five rebounds per contest.
No. 3 USC Aiken (12-0, 5-0 PBC) is playing in one of the biggest games across the country tonight as the Pacers host No. 4 Clayton State in a 5:30 p.m. contest. Tonight's top-five showdown will go a long way to deciding this year's regular season champions.
The Pacers will then travel to Young Harris on Saturday, Jan. 19 before making their way to Dahlonega on Monday, Jan. 21 for their 5:30 p.m. contest against the Saints inside Memorial Hall Gymnasium.
USC Aiken enters the three-game stretch averaging 72.8 points per game while holding opponents to just 54 per contest. The Pacers will prove to be one of the most complete teams North Georgia will face this season as they shoot 48.1% from the field and 41.1% from three-point range.
The Pacers are led by the junior-senior tandem of Kayla Harris and Daniela Tarailo which averages a combined 34 points per game. Harris, a junior forward, averages 18.8 points and 7.2 boards per game while Tarailo accounts for 15.2 points and 3.4 three-pointers per outing. Harris is fourth in the league in scoring while Tarailo is second in three-point field goal percentage.
Junior guard Brittany Hill averages 8.0 points and 6.8 assists per game as she directs the offense while sophomore forward Mackenzie Reese is third on the team in scoring with 9.7 points per game off a league-best 59.7% shooting percentage.
As always, all North Georgia's home basketball games can be followed live via live stats and a free live webcast featuring Craig Corbin and Mike Davenport located on the schedule pages on www.SaintsSports.com. Also, Glory 1330 WGTJ Radio will continue to broadcast live during games with Mike Wofford and Drew Harris on the call. They can also be followed at www.glory1330.com or through the Tune in Radio app.

I've come to the belated conclusion that true justice has nothing to do with justice as applied by our legal system.
You can be convicted of an act even though in reality you were miles away; you can be virtually the only person in court telling the unvarnished truth and yet end up being penalized for lying.
I'm saying beware. Irrespective of guilt or innocence; you can lose in court and be found guilty while the truly guilty parties get off Scot-free. A shameful, disappointing system at that!

Emirates Air Competing With Other Carriers
Dubai government-owned Emirates has turned a profit, even as it assembled an array of 92 aircraft - one of the world's youngest fleets - and a smorgasbord of 83 destinations.
Emirates' operating costs are thought to be 40 percent lower than European rivals like KLM, according to UBS. It also benefits from Dubai's investments in infrastructure and zero tax rate, as well as the sheikdom's cheap labor costs. Salaries are kept low by laws that, for now, prohibit unions. Emirates also operates without a less profitable short-haul fleet or legacy costs like pension burdens.
And Emirates looks set to keep its costs down, ironically, by spending around $12 billion for 45 of Airbus' double-decker A380 super-jumbos, the forthcoming long-haul passenger jet with 555 seats in its smallest version. Each A380 is expected to operate around 13 percent more cheaply than a Boeing 747, the UBS report said.
To cope, Dubai is expanding its airport to handle 70 million passengers a year, which could put it behind Atlanta as the world's busiest airport.
Emirates caters to what was until recently an underserved region, with a Persian Gulf airport midway between Europe and Asia. It also consistently brings home awards on its service.
Dubai is a booming destination in its own right - for Brits, the second most popular beach destination outside Britain - with guaranteed sunny weather that draws in tourists and delays few flights.
Emirates focused first on Asia. Its debut destination was Karachi. Now, analysts say Asia is one of the industry's few growth markets. Gulf cities rely hugely on expatriate workers from India, Pakistan, Europe, Australia and increasingly, the Far East and North America.
Emirates and other Gulf airlines are cashing in as more workers flow to jobs here, while stealing passengers from European carriers flying to Asia and Australia, and Asian carriers flying to Europe.
Gulf-based carriers led by Emirates are going to form an ever-larger part of the global airline industry, according to research from JP Morgan.
"European carriers have not seen a competitor like this before," adds the UBS report.

The tranquil island of Anguilla evokes an earlier era of Caribbean history. There are no casinos, no tourist-jammed shopping areas, and just a handful of nightspots. In fact, visitors encounter few distractions from the unspoiled white sand beaches and surprisingly good restaurants. The island's economy depends almost completely on tourism. Locals are friendly but no one tries to sell tourists T-shirts on the beaches. Attendees won't find gloss and glitter, but they just might rub shoulders with some of the many celebrities, like Robert DeNiro or Liza Minelli, who escape to this low-key island to get refreshed and recharged.
With less than 10,000 hotel rooms, Anguilla isn't equipped for big groups, but it is well suited for small incentives and meetings. Among the deluxe properties with meeting facilities is the Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla (formerly the Casablanca), a 100-room resort sited on a long stretch of pristine beach about three miles from the airport.
The short drive from the airport is unspectacular--Anguilla is dry and flat--but this makes the first glimpse of the Sonesta's North African-style pink stucco architecture all the more dramatic. The hotel is a Moroccan fantasy, with arches, fountains, and colorful handcrafted mosaics installed on-site by 20 Moroccan artisans. There are fabulous views of hilly St. Martin across the turquoise sea. Spacious guest rooms, all with balconies and large marble bathrooms, are grouped in low-rise buildings that overlook gardens or the ocean.
When Sonesta took over the five-year-old hotel in January 1996, it pumped $7 million into the infrastructure. The improvements include a new 1,750-square-foot conference center, which opened in February 1997 with room for up to 70 persons theater-style in the largest of its three meeting rooms. An outdoor terrace with sweeping vistas of the Caribbean provides an appealing venue for coffee breaks or sunset cocktails.
Other island venues for group events include a tiny private island called Scilly Cay, where companies such as Motorola and Chrysler have treated their attendees to fresh lobster barbecues. With its landscape featuring driftwood, tropical flowers, and pink conch shell walls, Scilly Cay can accommodate private groups of up to 200 persons.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the American Airlines gateway to Anguilla, with daily American Eagle flights to Wallblake Airport. Tyden Air or WINAIR fly to Anguilla from nearby St. Martin, and a ferry service runs between St. Martin/Sint Maarten and Anguilla several times daily.

RIDGWAY – This Sunday afternoon, the Ridgway Town Park will come alive with Native American dancing and drumming, as part of the inaugural Ridgway Heritage Days and Ranch Rodeo event.
Dancers will include a drum group from the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation south of Cortez, as well as the Azteca dance group from Montrose. Both groups will be dressed in full colorful regalia, although their styles of dance and dress are quite different.
Roland McCook, an elder from the Northern Ute tribe in Utah and descendant of Chief Ouray and Chipeta, will join in the Ute dancing, with its familiar swirl of colorful regalia, jingle dresses, fancy shawls and thumping drums.
The Azteca dancers, led by Manuel Torres of Montrose, are part of a larger movement among the diaspora of Mexico's pre-colonial inhabitants, many of whom can trace their roots to the Aztec and Mayan cultures.
Dressed in exotic garb including spectacular feathered headdresses called Copilliquetzalli that evoke the huge temples and beautiful open plazas of the ancient city of Tenochtitlán, the dancers consider their twirling, high-stepping performances to be a kind of prayer in movement, allowing them to connect with nature's gods. Each individual dance group is called a Mesa or Callpulli.
The Montrose-based Azteca group made a big impression when they performed at the Montrose Indian Nations Powwow last fall. The dancers, all of whom are members of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Montrose, started performing together as a way to celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe every Dec. 12. "It is very common in Mexico to have these kinds of dances at the celebration, even at the church," Torres said.
Across the country, larger urban Azteca dance groups have come to symbolize the highly politicized vanguard of the leftist protest circuit, showing up at rallies to support gay rights and oppose police brutality, protesting Christopher Columbus, and even dancing and beating drums at pro-Palestinian events.
Although the Azteca dance movement dates all the way back to the fall of the Aztec empire in 1521, it was reinvigorated in the 1930s, when cultural leaders Manuel Pinda, Gabriel Osorio and Natividad Reyna took back the use of traditional Aztec percussion instruments like the huéhuetl y teponaztle, abandoned their Conchero clothing (named for a style of guitar they made with the shell of an armadillo following Spanish colonization) and donned the ancient Aztec regalia once again.
"We like to share with the people what we have – the Mexican culture, the Aztec culture," said Torres. "We try to explain to people the origin of the dances, the names, and the regalia."
Torres plans to bring up to 20 dancers from the Montrose area to perform in Ridgway on Sunday, while about eight dancers and drummers from the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation are expected.
Altogether, it should make for quite a mini powwow, and perhaps the largest gathering of Native dancers that Ridgway has ever seen.
Dancing happens from 3:30-5 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, June 16, on and near the new stage at Ridgway Town Park. It is just one element of a whole day's worth of activities and events celebrating Ridgway's heritage that day, including a pancake breakfast hosted by the Ridgway Volunteer Fire Department, a special farmers market featuring local cheese, wine, herbs and produce, games and face painting for the kids, blacksmithing, cowboy poetry and music in the park, and lectures on the history of the area at the Town Hall.
Saturday's activities center around a Ranch Rodeo at the Ouray County Fairgrounds.

Sorry about the lack of posts for the past 5 months… yikes! You'll be happy to know that we'll be blogging again on a regular basis and more importantly, the Elite Heavy Break Cue is back in stock. The announcement went out yesterday via email. so in case you missed it, here it is again:
Back by popular demand is the Elite Heavy Duty 27oz "Banned" Break Cue. We hear it over and over again. Pool players always want to know how to get a stronger break. They want more power and more action. If you can handle it, the answer for you may just be the new Elite "Heavy" Break Cue. This new breaker generates power through its massive weight. Rather than weighing just 20oz or 21oz, the Heavy weighs in at approximately 27oz, making it one of the heaviest breakers on the market.
The weight is only part of the story. The cue also features a phenolic tip and ferrule giving it more power than a standard leather tip. The wood pin is actually built into the shaft, giving the Heavy not only superior power but also unprecedented feel for a break cue. It should be noted that this cue is not for everyone. Some leagues have banned this break cue, as it exceed their maximum weight restrictions. Also, keep in mind that if your ball comes off the table, it is a foul so you will need to have control to go along with the power of your break.
This cue is now back in stock and ready to ship. If you have any question about the Banned Breaker or any of the pool cues or billiards products we carry, don't hesitate to email or call us toll free at 866-843-3294.

L.A. WOMAN: Marion Cotillard continues to rack up the air miles in her role as a Christian Dior spokesmodel. The Oscar-winning actress — who has already been pictured in Paris, New York, Shanghai and London for the French brand — traveled to Los Angeles recently to pose for photographer Steven Klein at a groovy house by architect John Lautner. She is seen clutching a Lady Dior bag in multicolored crocodile, with a swimming pool and the Hollywood hills in the background. Giovanna Battaglia styled the ad, with Julien d'Ys on hair and Christophe Danchaud doing makeup. The campaign is slated to break in the International Herald Tribune on Nov. 14 and the Financial Times on Nov. 19. French weeklies and December monthlies are to follow.

The Mediation Program provides dispute resolution services for SJSU students experiencing a conflict with another student, friend, roommate, classmate, significant other, or a member of the university.
In mediation, a neutral third-party facilitates communication between disputing parties so they can work through their differences and reach agreement. The mediators don't take sides and don't make judgments. They are there to help the parties talk things through in a constructive, effective manner.
Mediation is a way for parties to get issues cleared up before the situation gets out of hand or more formal processes need to take effect. This way the parties come up with a solution on their own rather than having an outside authority decide for them.
Why Choose Mediation?
- Mediation is a way for you to proactively address a conflict situation in a constructive manner.
- Mediation provides a safe, confidential forum where you can be heard and feel respected.
- Mediation allows the participants to decide on a solution, instead of having someone else decide for them.
- Mediation is an alternative to violence. Parties proactively address conflict before it gets out of hand.
The Mediation Program cannot mediate cases between staff or faculty members. If you are faculty or staff member in a dispute please contact Sarah Khan, Organization Development & Training Manager,Human Resources at 408-924-2142for available options.
Mediation Process
In mediation, the disputing parties agree to meet with two neutral, third-parties at a specified location on campus. These mediators assist participants in creating an environment where each person feels safe, respected and heard. At the end of the meeting, both parties leave with a jointly-developed agreement that outlines steps each person will take to resolve the conflict.
Interpersonal Conflict
If you are in conflict with a friend, a roommate, a classmate, a family member, a significant other, a neighbor, landlord, a member of the University faculty or staff, or just about anyone else you know, and believe things could be resolved if you just talked them through, then mediation is for you. In mediation a neutral third party facilitates communication between disputing parties so they can reach, on their own, a solution that works for everyone.
Facilitated Group Discussions
Are you a member of a group or student organization that is experiencing conflict within the group/organization or with another group/organization? We can provide facilitated discussions that explore issues, find solutions that work for everyone and get the group/ organization back on track.
Mediation is Confidential
Everything that is discussed during the mediation session cannot be discussed with anyone unless the parties specifically agree.
Mediation is a Voluntary Process
All parties who agree to mediate their dispute must be willing to work through the problem by hearing the other person out, offering up solutions for settling the dispute, and negotiating an agreement.
The one-to-three-hour session comprises four phases:
- Opening statement - each participant describes his or her understanding of the conflict to the mediators.
- Building understanding - through dialogue, participants explore each other's needs and interests in order to establish understanding and find common ground.
- Brainstorming- participants generate possible solutions to the dispute based on the mutual understanding.
- Agreement- participants agree upon a fair and achievable solution.
At any time during the mediation, the mediators may ask to speak confidentially with the parties separately, in a confidential meeting called a caucus. Any one of the disputing parties may also ask for a caucus with the mediators.
The mediator can choose to terminate the session if there are safety concerns and/or the parties are not acting in good faith. Come with an open mind, be ready to listen, and be willing to negotiate an agreement.
The Role of a Mediator
Our volunteer mediators are SJSU students, faculty and staff trained in communication and conflict-resolution. As neutral, third parties they maintain an impartial viewpoint throughout the mediation session and do not take sides. Their job is to facilitate the process, maintain a safe, comfortable environment, and help participants communicate effectively.
- Mediators are not judges.
- Mediators are not counselors.
- Mediators do not provide advice nor suggest solutions.
- Mediators treat disputing parties with respect and compassion.
What Can Be Mediated
Here are some examples of situations that can be mediated. This list is not comprehensive. If you don't see your situation listed, please contact the Mediation Center and we can help you decide if mediation is an appropriate option for resolving your dispute.
- interpersonal conflict between roommates, classmates, friends, or family-members
- romantic-relationship disputes
- on-going tension that exists between a student and a faculty or staff member
- conflicts that stem from issues of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation
- disputes with landlords or merchants
- conflicts between members of class project groups
- group conflicts within or between student organizations
- group conflicts between members of committees
- disputes between the organization and one of its members
- neighborhood disputes involving students or student organizations
- tension between members of a student organization
- disagreement among leadership committees about an organization's mission or activities
- disputes between the organization and one of its members

When you call us, we will ask for your understanding of the dispute and contact information for the other parties involved. We will then contact the other parties and invite them to mediation. If they agree to participate, we will schedule a mediation session on campus with two volunteer mediators.
We will try to accommodate the parties' needs as best we can.
Prior to the mediation, you will receive copies of the mediation participation and confidentiality agreement. You will be asked to sign these forms at the beginning of the mediation session, so please review them carefully.
Note: The Mediation Center cannot mediate cases between staff or faculty members. If you are faculty or staff member in a dispute please contact Sarah Khan, Organization Development & Training Manager, Human Resources at 408-924-2142 for visit our Faculty & Staff Resources available options.

Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta
If ever there was a time for a true gentleman to step forward, this was it.
"As a lifelong, proud Republican who was overjoyed to see a Republican elected back into the Blaine House three years ago, I have one thing to say. I am embarrassed," wrote state Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta, in an op-ed that quickly went viral last week.
He was referring, of course, to Gov. Paul LePage. And while it's highly unusual, if not unheard of, for an assistant minority leader of the Maine Senate to call out a governor from his own party in a 719-word statement of conscience, Katz said in an interview Friday that he had no choice.
"There are times in my life when I really do sit there and wonder what my father would have done if he were in that seat today instead of me," said Katz. "That's why I wrote the article."
His father was Bennett Katz, a much-loved and widely respected Republican majority leader who represented Augusta in the Legislature from 1962 through 1980.
Bennett Katz died in 2007 at the age of 89. But as Roger Katz took to his keyboard last week to once and for all denounce LePage's antics of late -- the nasty name-calling, the empty threats, the use of a sexual obscenity to denigrate a Democratic opponent -- he could feel his father looking over his shoulder.
Roger Katz wrote of growing up in a "Republican household" where he got to meet his father's many Republican friends. "Class acts like Joe Sewall, Ken MacLeod, David Huber and Sam Collins," he recalled.
Class acts indeed.
Joseph Sewall served as president of the Maine Senate from 1975 to 1982. When he died last year, two hard-core Democrats of his era had no qualms about singing his praises.
"He was, in my opinion, one of the best presiding officers to serve in the Maine Senate," said John Martin, who became speaker of the Democrat-controlled House the same day in 1975 that Sewall took over the Republican-controlled Senate.
"Joe Sewall was a true gentleman," echoed Jim Tierney, who served as Democratic majority leader under Martin and went on to become Maine's attorney general. "It was an honor to serve with him in the Legislature. We are a better state for his service."
A "true gentlemen." An "honor to serve with him." How's that for partisan name-calling?
Ken MacLeod became Senate president in 1969, the same year Maine first instituted the state's income tax. He opposed it at first, but eventually came around to support it.
"I sided with the conservatives more than the liberals, except on the income tax," recalled MacLeod in an interview with the Bangor Daily News.
The interview took place in 1993. Looking back more than two decades, MacLeod observed, "The average legislator then was of a higher quality than they are now. We had some real top-quality people in the Senate in both parties."
Just a thought, but when was the last time you heard a seasoned politician use the words "top-quality people" and "both parties" in the same sentence?
David Huber served in the Legislature from 1973 to 1982, including a stint as the Senate's assistant majority leader.
Along with his wife and fellow Republican stalwart, Sherry Huber, he went on to found the Maine Family Planning Association, which to this day cites them on its website as "individuals dedicated to the proposition that every Maine woman should have equal access to high-quality reproductive health services."
A Republican champion for family planning. How, we can only wonder, might that go over today?
Sam Collins, uncle of U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, served five terms in the Maine Senate from 1975 to 1984 and went on to sit on the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.
Upon Sam Collins' death last year at age 88, his son, Ed Collins, described a man who might have trouble being heard above the din that now passes for political discourse.
"He thought things through before speaking, and by the time he spoke, people listened," said Ed Collins. "They knew he had something to say."
So did Bennett Katz.
Back in 1999, on the 30th anniversary of Maine's income tax, Katz sat down for an interview with this newspaper.
He recalled a political battle for the ages: The income tax legislation, supported by Democratic and Republican legislative leaders alike but not faring so well down in the trenches, had just squeaked through the House.
But there was trouble in the Senate, where the nose counters kept coming up one vote short of the 22 needed for passage. All eyes were on Sen. Carroll Minkowsky of Lewiston, the only Democratic holdout.
A fiscal conservative from a right-leaning district, Minkowsky had little to gain and a lot to lose by supporting the new tax.
But then Katz, the Republican, sat down for a quiet chat with Minkowsky, the Democrat.
"We talked about everything in the world, why we were in the Senate, our families. But we never talked about the income tax," Katz recalled. "He then reached over and grabbed my hand and said, 'Bennett, let's go in and vote.' I knew then it was going to pass."
A short time later, on an oppressively hot evening late in June, the roll call reached Minkowsky. For 15 or 20 agonizing seconds, he looked around at his colleagues -- some for, some against -- and finally voted yes. On both sides of the aisle, the Senate chamber erupted with cheers.
In his ode to the good old days, Roger Katz remembered his father, Joe Sewall, Ken MacLeod, David Huber and Sam Collins as men who, whatever the battle at hand, "would never even have considered demonizing their opponents."
"If they were here to see the end of this session, with the name calling and posturing, with the interests of political advantage pursued over the interests of real Maine people, they would have been appalled," Katz wrote. "Then, if they found out that this was the tone set by a Republican governor, they would have been dumbfounded."
Those are strong words from a normally quiet man. Words that many Republicans may have thought in recent weeks, but only one had the courage to actually say.
Which makes it all the more fitting to end with a footnote to that income-tax story: Watching his Democratic colleague single-handedly change the course of Maine history that sweltering evening left an indelible impression on Bennett Katz. In fact, he would later recall, it was the "most courageous single political action" he'd ever witnessed.
Until now.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "It could be easy, after tasting the monumental 2005, to dismiss the 2006 Troplong Mondot, but don't be so foolish. Proprietress Christine Valette has turned out another exceptional performance... the 2006 Troplong Mondot is an impressive, powerful, broad, surprisingly masculine and deep effort...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A dark ruby (but not opaque) color is followed by aromas of sweet raspberries and black currants with dusty, earthy, loamy soil notes in the background."
Cellar/Tasting Notes " A beautiful wine with 13.4% natural alcohol, this blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of cassis, incense, charcoal, and subtle oak, round, generously endowed flavors, medium to full body, silky tannin,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Domaine Michel Gros Clos des Reas Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru 2010 is distinctly toasty with very spicy and seriously ripe aromas of cassis, black berry and red currant. It is medium-bodied and has a velvety mouthfeel on the long and sweet finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes " An extremely pretty nose exhibits a well-layered aromatic profile of liqueur of red berry fruit, earth and soft spice scents that is trimmed in just enough wood toast to notice. There is a seductive consistency to the solidly well-concentrated medium-bodied flavors that ooze a fine dry extract..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A background application of wood is visible on the more elegant aromas of violet, plum and wet stone. There is first rate intensity and detail to the more obviously mineral-inflected flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel before terminating in a finer if not necessarily more persistent finale...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the stars of the vintage, this blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot reveals sweet burning ember, charcoal, barbecue smoke, black currant, plum, and graphite notes. This opulent, impressively endowed, medium to full-bodied 2007 possesses..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Christian Serafin's 2010 Morey St. Denis Les Millandes is a brawny red Burgundy, endowed with complex fruit and spice aromas and flavors -- black cherries, leather and tobacco. Terrific balance and depth on the finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Generous wood presently fights somewhat with the otherwise notably ripe aromas of earth, smoke, dark berry fruit and a touch of the sauvage. The impressive concentrated, rich and mouth coating big-bodied flavors possess excellent depth on the dusty, intense and driving finish..."

London's Opera Holland Park 2010
27 May 2010, London, UK
Michael Volpe
Commentary by Opera Holland Park General Manager, Michael Volpe
"Opera is a buzz word at the moment, and the media in the UK have jumped on the bandwagon with enthusiasm: the BBC have a special focus on opera through the summer, (though anyone who saw rival channel ITV's attempt to get into the classical music groove could have easily thought it had all been dreamt up during a particularly unfocused session down the pub). Meanwhile, there are productions opening in droves in the first week of June across the UK as the summer season gets under way.
"Here at Opera Holland Park, in one of Central London's finest stretches of green, unspoilt nature, we find ourselves pitching headlong into another season with trepidation, unbounded enthusiasm and, as is ever more frequently the case, nerves of steel.
"Our final two shows would be a challenge to the biggest companies in the world: Francesca da Rimini certainly fulfils the stereotype of the giovane scuola opera by having a cast of thousands – and all of them with a line to sing. Not that our two season openers (Pelléas et Mélisande and Carmen) can be described as a walk in the park either.
"Meanwhile, we don't often do revivals but Oliver Fuchs' production of Fidelio was a massive success in 2003, and the time seems absolutely right to unleash it on the London audience again.
"All in all, we've got a particularly brilliant season in prospect, with a huge variety of work and a strong thread joining the first and final productions.
"And just in case you're worried about what all this might do to your holiday spending money, we are tossing £10 seats tickets around like confetti as well as offering free seats to people who wouldn't otherwise have the means to come to an opera. Speaking of which, our new INSPIRE Project, bringing awareness to new audiences, is in overdrive at present; we do all of this and still find time to plan the 2012 Season.
"I'm looking forward to so many aspects of the 2010 Season which, after so long in this job, can only be a good sign. I still love being in our space as well – OHP's theatre one of the most beautiful structures in the capital in my humble opinion."
- Opera Holland Park
- Podcast - Listen to Opera Now Contributing Editor, Robert Thicknesse, chatting to Mike Volpe about Francesca da Rimini
- London opera festival all set to 'INSPIRE'
The July/August issue of Opera Now will include a preview of Francesca da Rimini, featuring an interview with conductor, Philip Thomas.
Royal Danish Opera appoints new artistic director
24 May 2010
Keith Warner(Photo: Caspar Balslev)
British director Keith Warner has been appointed as the new artistic director of the Royal Danish Opera, succeeding Kasper Holton, who has held the post since 1999.
Warner's tenure will begin in August 2011, but he will start work immediately as a consultant to advise the company on repertoire decisions for future seasons.
Described as an "artistic beacon" by Erik Jacobson, Director of the Royal Danish Theatre, Warner was unanimously selected by the hiring committee from a list of 47 candidates. He has previously directed Don Giovanni (2006) and Wozzeck (2008) for the Royal Danish Opera.
Opera Now Contributing Editor, Tom Sutcliffe, who has worked with Warner on several past productions believes that "this appointment reflects genuine confidence in Keith's knowledge of the whole repertoire and his supreme professionalism. But also there is no question that many of his productions are simply first rate – that he is a modern director who has interesting things to say about the operas he's staging, but also who wants those operas to come alive in their own terms not to be changed into something they never expected to be and often cannot be."
The Chairman of the Board of Royal Danish Opera, Lars Pallesen, certainly hopes that Warner's appointment will help "to establish the company in the international elite", but, says Sutcliffe, "Copenhagen is not going to change radically" under Warner's leadership: "It is constrained by the fact that it is a national company setting the tone in a small nation of around 5 million people. The casting and the company are being subsidised by the Danish taxpayer to be identifiably Danish."
On the other hand, Sutcliffe concedes that "having a Brit as artistic director (for the second time – Elaine Padmore was also there from 1993-9) is a gesture towards the international in standards and aspirations that does not undermine the company's Danishness to any great extent."
Pointing to the fact that Warner is one of the only British directors to have worked successfully in Bayreuth whilst also being "a believer in the popularisation of opera", Sutcliffe says that his approach is characterized by some "very special qualities": he is a "generous collaborator" with "considerable judgment and competence about casting", plus "the sort of man who does work for almost no money when he believes in the cause. And above all he is fun to be with."
Magic tricks - Rossini's Armida at The Met
19 May 2010, New York, USA
Renée Fleming as Armida(Photo: Ken Howard)
Report by Heidi Waleson
Rossini's Armida, the Metropolitan Opera's final new production of the Season and a company premiere, was mounted for its star soprano, Renée Fleming. The tale of a sorceress who ensnares a Crusader, Rinaldo, and turns him from his proper military path, the conquest of Jerusalem, Armida is a showcase for singers: six tenors surround the soprano, in a tour de force role that Rossini wrote for Isabella Colbran, and a lot of very florid, high-wire vocalism is required from everyone. It would probably work better in a smaller house, where these ever-escalating pyrotechnics would be more immediate for the audience. Fleming can sing the notes, and she sounded lovely in the lyrical passages, but her voice didn't display the kind of incisive edge and fiery precision that makes this repertoire truly exciting. Nor is she terribly believable as a villain. She was clearly having a fine time wielding her magic wand and bending tenors to her will, but even in her final rage aria, it all seemed to be happening in the spirit of fun.
The six excellent Rossini tenors included Lawrence Brownlee as the bewitched Rinaldo, whose elegant lyricism blended well with Fleming's, José Manuel Zapata, who displayed a big, ringing sound as Gernando, a jealous knight killed off by Rinaldo in Act I (he and Brownlee also had an enjoyable vocal battle, complete with dueling high notes), and John Osborn, imposing as Goffredo, the head Crusader.
Two more fine tenors, Kobie van Rensburg and Barry Banks, turned up in Act III as knights determined to rescue Rinaldo from Armida; they sang a show-stopping trio with him. Yeghishe Manucharyan had a brief but impressive appearance in Act I as Eustazio, Goffredo's brother. The lower-voiced villains were bass Peter Volpe as Idraote, Armida's uncle and bass-baritone Keith Miller even danced a bit as Astarotte, the leader of her demon followers. Riccardo Frizza's conducting was regrettably pedestrian, but there was some fine solo playing from the pit.
Much of the plot, such as it is, revolves around Armida's magic, but director Mary Zimmerman's production was low on enchantment. Designer Richard Hudson created a classical semicircular wall with doors, dressed up with a few extras touches, such as a field of poppies and some gigantic birds and insects, and Brian MacDevitt supplied some lighting changes to suggest the Crusaders' camp or the pleasure palace that Armida conjures up for her captive. The knights stood around in red Crusader gear and armor, and much of the character interaction was symbolic rather than real.
Indeed, the production tone was slightly satirical throughout. Some of the most effective moments were pure fun, such as Armida's lizard-like dancing and singing demons, with horns, scales and long skinny tails. The Met chorus proved wonderfully game here, participating in the snaky choreography by Graciela Daniele. Opera ballets are usually either a snooze or an embarrassment, but Daniele and associate choreographer Daniel Pelzig worked wonders, and the lengthy Act II ballet, in the pleasure palace, was a witty re-enactment of Armida's conquest of Rinaldo, complete with lissome maidens and leaping lizards in tutus. If only the opera's dramatic moments – and Fleming's singing – had been as lively.
Ireland's Lismore Music Festival 2010
11 May 2010, Report by Robert Thicknesse
Lismore Castle, County Waterford, Ireland
Lismore Music Festival 2010 presents Bizet's 'Carmen'
As Irish opera approaches (perhaps) another renaissance with the establishment of national companies in both the Republic and Ulster, another newcomer braves the Irish summer at Lismore, in county Waterford.
The short Lismore Music Festival, which if all goes well will become an annual event, kicks off this year with what promises to be a Carmen quite individual enough to pique the interest.
Directed by Dieter Kaegi, the stern Regietheater artistic director of Opera Ireland, it stars Fiona Murphy and takes place to an accompaniment devised by guitarist Redmond O'Toole along the lines of an Astor Piazzola piece: 8-string guitar, accordion, violin, bass and percussion.
The hispanic theme continues with tapas and paella before the show and, one hopes, plenty of Cava during it. Not to mention an outbreak of Iberian weather (though the publicity happily admits that 'Every effort has been made to weatherproof the venue for the performance including a roof.')
Lismore castle, inland from the lovely seaside town of Youghal, is the home of the son of the Duke of Devonshire and is one of Ireland's prettiest, set in the countryside of west Waterford usually by-passed by those on their way westwards to Cork and beyond.
The opera takes place in the transformed stables – another reminder of Castleward Opera in Northern Ireland, which would not be a bad model for Lismore. Castleward seems to have been extinguished by the Northern Irish Arts Council on the grounds of its perceived exclusivity; in fact it was always a jolly and most unsnobbish place. Let's hope Lismore can take up the mantle. This year's festival includes two performances of Bizet's Carmen on 5 and 6 June plus a concert of French music in St Carthage's Cathedral on 6 June.
Philip Langridge Bursary Fund announced
11 May 2010

A new bursary in memory of the late tenor Philip Langridge has been created by Co-Opera Co., a London-based training company for young opera professionals.
As a principal spokesman and supporter of the company, Philip Langridge was one of the first artists to join students in the company's rehearsal rooms, offering workshops for young opera singers.
"Co-Opera Co has been very fortunate that Philip Langridge, whose communication masterclasses were very much in demand, was one of the tutors for their ensemble weekend workshop earlier this year," said a statement by the company. "His versatility, sublime interpretation of complex characters, striking stage presence, worldwide career and distinctive voice made him an outstanding role model for young singers."
In recognition of Langridge's passion for teaching young singers at the start of their professional careers, the fund has now been established in his name.
The Philip Langridge Bursary Fund will help by providing financial help, initially for Co-Opera Co. projects and eventually to assist the company's associate members with other career-related funding. The bursary will also enable Co-Opera Co. to give loans and discretionary grants to singers, repetiteurs and conductors.
To launch this initiative and raise money for the find, Co-Opera Co. is hosting a gala concert at the London Oratory School on 30 May. The evening will feature performances by more than 20 artists associated with the company, including Yvonne Howard and Sarah Connolly, plus a promise auction offering singing lessons by some of the artists taking part.
- Co-Opera Co.
- Graham Johnson and Steuart Bedford remember Philip Langridge
- Philip Langridge dies aged 70

When I was a new mom, I worried about things like television and technology. I wondered: How much do I allow? Will my kid become an obsessed couch potato? Now I know better. My son has so much energy, he barely ever even sits on that couch, and he'll choose the great outdoors over TV every single time. But there are times, like when I'm running boring errands or waiting in the doctor's office, that I need a little help keeping him occupied.
My secret weapon? My iPhone.
So, at last weekend's long, hot, boring yard sale, I knew I needed a little backup. And luckily, I had it! When the meltdown started, I turned to the two brand new interactive episodes of Disney Junior's popular series "Doc McStuffins", now available on the Disney Junior Appisode app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch for $4.99.

Lindo Mexico has me spoiled! – Best Mexican food in years, now I'm spoiled!
Recently had a couple of occasions to dine at Lindo Mexico's and thoroughly enjoyed the meals. Service is also great. Visited another Mexican restaurant in Olympia yesterday, higher prices for food that was nowhere near as tasty! Lindo's does have me spoiled and looking forward to the next visit. Also looking forward to the next Cinco De Mayo, as that was the best buffet imaginable! Recommend - the side of guacamole made fresh at your table! Best of the best!
Great service, great food, great prices – Now I know you'll think I'm biased because I'm a proud member of the Lindo's team, but I can honestly say before working there I couldn't eat mexican food more than once or twice a month. Muchas doesn't count. Since I've started working there I eat there at least twice a week, because I like the food. I know the staff cares about your experience and the owner himself takes a lot of pride in exceptional service. Drinks are great, prices are great and if you want a deal check the Value Clipper for a great food coupon. There's also a "bar menu" in the bar side with a number of items under 5 bucks. Stop by and check out the changes :)
New Change, New Format , New Attitude!! New Phone Number! – 360--433-2296...Not that this place was not amazing before, but now they have happy hour ALL DAY for food, very cheap drinks @ happy hour.. a HUGE Christmas show with Funkshop DJ's and Just amazing service... The restaurant is still open 11am-2am. The bar is huge for dancing and new formats coming out.. Look for Lindo Mexico to be the next hottest thing in the "couv" for the long haul!! Check this place out on the weekends.. new formats start on Christmas!!
Great Food , Great Service – The food was very good and plenteous. My teenage girls left with very full and with some great food to take home. The service is very attentive and friendly. . My wife reports that she enjoyed the best Mole she's ever had..."It's just perfect..." The 'Fried Ice Cream" is beyond very good. We ordered one with four spoons...." After the first taste it was a piranha feeding frenzy!
This is a great place to take the family for lunch or dinner and not break the bank. You will be hard pressed to find better Mexican cuisine in the Portland/Vancouver area.
Avoid altogether – I will eat at the other Mexican restaurants first before coming back here again. The service was not bad but the food lacked taste and style. What Mexican restaurant does not have any limes on Friday at 6pm? Do not go for the desserts either, the deep fried ice cream was not deep fried but instead covered in cornflakes and drowned in whip cream, I imagine to hid the fact.
Lindo got a face lift – The strip mall it's in recently got a nice face lift. Before that, Lindo Mexico was a little "dive-ish". Great food though and they make the drinks nice and strong!
Nice Mexican Restaurant – A truely nice dining experience! They serve traditional Mexican food and GREAT margaritas. This is one of two restraunts in Vancouver run by the same folks. The other, Mexico Lindo is just a mile or so west on Mill Plain and serves equally good food in a much smaller location.
Try them both and see if I'm correct.
Chili Rellenos - YUM! – Lindo Mexico has the most wonderful Chili Rellenos I've found in the Portland Vancouver area! Bar none. I don't know if they make 'em fresh, or get 'em out of the freezer, but they're the best. They have these little individual Nachos that are wonderful as well.... They also have Karaoke in the evening and the bar is always packed. It's a fun place on a Saturday night!

(NAPSI)—For the family looking for a hectic-free dinner, meatballs may be the ideal solution. With school in session and busy activities scheduled, dinnertime doesn't have to be a major production. Hearty and delicious meatballs make stress-free meals easy and delicious.
Frozen meatballs are a filling and flavorful answer to the question "What's for dinner?" Many of these meaty morsels are found packaged in the grocery store fully cooked, ensuring fast preparation and a perfectly rounded-out mid-week meal.
Great brands, such as Casa Di Bertacchi Meatballs, are made with high-quality beef combined with wholesome ingredients and seasonings for an authentic Italian flavor. The meatballs are seared and steamed in the traditional way, ready to be stirred into any delicious dish and put on your table for everyone to enjoy. They can be tossed into pasta, served on top of salads, baked into pizza or eaten on their own as a quick snack. Meatballs are a versatile family favorite that can please the crowd.
Perhaps the best part is that they can be prepared in more than just the oven. Meatballs can be warmed in a slow cooker or microwave, too. Casa Di Bertacchi, available at Sam's Club nationwide, makes it easy for families to feast on the bounty of flavor. Try Easy Meatball Pizza for a new twist on a classic family favorite.
Easy Meatball Pizza
Preheat oven to 400° F. Lay pizza crust on a pizza pan. Spread 1 cup pizza sauce over crust. Sprinkle ¾ cup cheese over sauce. Place meatballs and 2 teaspoons of water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave frozen meatballs on high for 3 minutes. Drain any excess liquid. Cut each meatball in half. Toss meatballs with remaining sauce. Spoon meatballs over cheese layer, ensuring that the cut side of meatball is down. Layer remaining cheese over the top of the meatballs. Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over pizza. Bake for 12−15 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

Designed for one of the hottest crazes to hit bass fishing in a long time, the Shimano Crucial Umbrella Rig Casting Rod delivers the proven technique-specific performance that only Shimano could provide. Shimano and the Shimano prostaff studied the wide variety of Umbrella rigs and combinations available today, and built the blank out of premium IM-10 carbon fiber to perfectly cast and handle this big, awkward lure. They combined a precisely designed fast tip with a heavy action to provide the increased hook setting power you need to make solid hooksets at the end of long casts, and even make multiple hooksets at once. Shimano also added two more inches to the butt section for additional support when casting. Also equipped with premium Fuji Alconite Guides that provide the durability you need to wrench on a big Umbrella Rig, and haul in multiple fish at once, the Shimano Crucial Umbrella Rig Casting Rod also features a custom Shimano Reel Seat and a split grip handle configuration to help keep the weight down and provide a balanced feel.
Backed by Shimano's Over-The-Counter Limited Lifetime Warranty

The Boston Terrorist Attack and Strategic Intelligence - MP3
Running Time: 01:00:44
Because the surviving Boston bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is a U.S. citizen, trial before a military commission is not available under the Military Commissions Act. Indefinite detention as an enemy combatant was an option, but that appears to have been taken off the table by the Obama Administration. So the question is the extent and value of Miranda-free interrogation. Was Mr. Tsarnaev read his Miranda rights prematurely? And what should or could the FBI and the rest of the intelligence community have done in advance of the attack, if anything, to monitor or surveil the deceased suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in view of the request from Russia and the the elder Tsarnaev brother's 2012 return trip?
