Kylie dazzles Charles and Camilla
10:56am Thursday 25th October 2012 in National Entertainment News By Simon Patchett
Kylie Minogue dazzled the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall when she performed a surprise concert by royal appointment.
The pop princess sang three pared-down songs for Charles and Camilla at a St James's Palace reception to mark their Diamond Jubilee tour, which begins next month.
Ahead of the performance, Kylie tweeted "One is on one's way to St James's Palace" and posted a picture of a soldier on guard duty outside the historic building in central London.
Famous faces and dignitaries from the three nations the royal couple will be visiting - Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand - were invited to the event.
Among the 200 guests were comic Barry Humphries, soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, broadcaster and musician Rolf Harris, and former New Zealand rugby captain Sean Fitzpatrick.
But all eyes were on Kylie, who wore a stylish black evening dress and was joined on stage by two backing singers, a guitarist and a pianist.
She is celebrating 25 years as a singer and has released her 12th album in celebration - The Abbey Road Sessions. It features 16 songs from her career, with new orchestral arrangements, recorded in the famous Abbey Road studios where the Beatles created their albums.
Before singing the Locomotion, she told her audience: "The big question is, are you ready to swing your hips now?"
She then told Charles and Camilla: "Bon voyage, have a fantastic trip."

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and Theatre Communications Group (TCG) have announced that February 5, 2007 is the 2007 deadline for the NEA/TCG Career Development Program for Theatre Designers. This program is administered by TCG, in association with the National Endowment for the Arts, and supported in part by The Ford Foundation. A fact sheet describing the program for designers (and a similar one for directors) and more information on how to enter can be found at www.tcg.org.
The NEA/TCG Career Development Program for Theatre Designers provides $22,500 each to seven exceptionally talented early-career designers who seek a career in America's not-for-profit professional theatre. This program is open to scenic, costume, lighting, and sound designers. Recipients are given the opportunity to spend six months developing their design skills and expanding their knowledge of the field. Program activity may include assisting, observing, research, and travel.
In addition to being placed at leading not-for-profit theatres and with established designers who would serve as mentors, it is possible for recipients to extend their artistic boundaries by exploring related arts disciplines. Recipients may also design projects under the guidance of one or more designated mentors. Placements are hand-tailored, matching the needs and goals of the recipient with appropriate and challenging assignments.
"The NEA/TCG Career Development Programs provide an opportunity to make an investment in the enhanced health and future of American theater. These unique programs provide crucial support to deserving emerging artists and assure them the ability to pursue their dreams and develop their professional careers. The Endowment is delighted to continue its collaboration with Theatre Communications Group and The Ford Foundation to provide financial support and networking opportunities for these artists, so they can continue down a more secured path toward a lifetime of contributions to the field," says Bill O'Brien, director of theater and musical theater at the National Endowment for the Arts.

Review: Timewatch - Double Agent: The Eddie Chapman Story, BBC2
5:44pm Friday 18th November 2011 in Television reviews By John Anson, Features editor
UNLESS you are a Second World War buff the name Eddie Chapman probably means nothing to you.
But as a marvellous Timewatch documentary on BBC2 showed this week, his life was straight out of a Boy's Own comic.
Before the war Chapman was a safe blower, becoming one of the country's most wanted criminals. He fled to Jersey where he was finally imprisoned and remained in jail as the island was occupied by the Germans. From his jail cell he offered to spy for the Germans and thus began one of the most amazing tales of the war.
For Chapman became Agent Zigzag, the most successful British double agent who was so convincing that the Germans awarded him the Iron Cross.
He is credited with saving thousands of lives, giving German V1 rocket crews the wrong co-ordinates for targets in England meaning that many of the deadly weapons missed London altogether.
With an enthusiastic presenter plus an interview with the man himself, recorded 18 years ago but only now allowed to be shown on TV, this was an unexpected treat and another example of how, when it does something properly, the Beeb is still the best.
The real star, whowever, was Chapman himself — he died in 1997 at the age of 83.

I'm familiar with musky fishing and using a fly rod, but fly fishing for musky is a brand new concept to me. Dan Boggs a guide with Blackwater Fly Fishing starts me with the basics, a tutorial before we even hit the water. "you want to strip and set."
We float the drift boats on the Wisconsin river, just north of Wausau. This new approach is challenging, but my guide says I have the right idea. "I can tell she's really fishy. She's listening to the river and putting the fly where it needs to go. The strip set technique is a tough one to get because you fight every instinct you have and I can almost hear her thoughts. She's going strip set- strip set. It's fantastic because it keeps that focal point."
After hours of casting, finally the fish I've been waiting for takes my bait, giving me a chance to put my newly acquired skills to the test.
A lot of people say that musky fishing isn't worth how many casts for the reward. I was about a few hundred casts in and it's not a musky, but that was worth the reward right there. Nice Northern.
If you've ever boated a musky using heavy gear, you may want to try a fly rod it's that much more personal.

I'm sitting here watching 1st and 10 on first Take on ESPN. I know, I know, that most people can't stand Skip Bayless. I can't, but a question came about when talking about the Dallas Cowboys and how they are doing after Wade Phillips was fired. The question was, Did Jason Garrett sandbag or sabotage his offense to take the head coaching job? So I wanted to bring the same question up about our offensive coordinator.
I wondered after a few years ago, when Marvin wanted to bring Hue Jackson here, how do you think Bob Bratworst felt?
Now it's the final year of Marvin's contract and things are going real sour for Marvin and the offense. I know the defense doesn't look good either, but it started with the offense and all the bad play calling with the lack of discipline. That has trickled down to special teams and defense now.
So, the same question could be asked. Did or is Bob Bratworst Sandbagging or Sabotaging the game-plan or play-calls to get Marvin fired? Assuming Marvin is getting fired at the end of the season. My thought is, this very well could be happening because of Marvin trying to get rid of Bratworst and I think he wants the head coaching job. Just think back for a moment at all the play-calls and also back when Marvin wanted Hue Jackson here and then tell me want you think.

The previous weeks had been decent but, as we approached the end of this number, we felt a special feeling. A feeling of tightness like we were all on the same musical wave-length. As we hit that last note, the crowd rose in smiles and applause. For all of you who think I'm talking about playing at Radio City Music Hall or Madison Square Garden, you're wrong. I'm talking about playing music in church - yes, church. I'm 16 and as community service, I play guitar in my parish, St. Augustine's, every Sunday.
I was introduced to this by my girlfriend. When she asked me about doing this, I had a flashback. I remembered how when I was younger, the music in church was always boring. It was just some old lady plopped down at an organ playing the same humdrum music over and over again. I realized that if I could make the music a little more exciting, it might make for a better time for all my peers and younger children. I'm proud to say because of me, and the rest of the church "band" the Sunday 5:00 mass is one the most crowded of the week.
I just hope that kids come out and see me play, and realize that they can also find something enjoyable to do to help the community. People may say I'm not moving mountains, but at least I'm making a difference. fl

text: I have been wondering since the BCS polls were released, and seemingly everybody outside of the Nole Nation are wanting to say we don't deserve the No. 2 spot, how were we able to score a spot in the first three BCS Championship games? Look at our schedules then, were they any stronger than they are now? I don't remember them being so, in fact, I would say they were weaker, when you consider Clemson was no where near where they are now, or Maryland the same. I personally feel it had to do with style points, we won games then, and we won them big. So, is it out of the question to think that if we continue on the path we are on, and continue to destroy teams in the way we have, we could keep our No 2 ranking, even with Oregon still winning? Would a, and I don't think this would end this way, 70 or 80 to nothing, or maybe 7, victory over NC State look just as good to the CPUs as a 35-28 Oregon victory over UCLA/Stanford. Could we hold our No 2 if we beat a No 6 or 7 ranked Miami team the same way we did Clemson? I know there are a lot of questions here, but I am merely curious if we could hold our ranking by winning big in the remainder of our games? What do you guys think, am I crazy, or no?

I saw Tony La Russa's press conference on MLB Network this morning and he is coming back as the manager of the Cardinals next season. But the bigger news is that he is going to have Mark McGwire be the hitting coach.
McGwire did not attend the press conference but the media had a lot of questions about him. I wonder if this will be a distraction for the Cardinals? Maybe only in the begining of Spring Training. I also wonder if Holliday had anything to do with this or if this makes St. Louis a more interesting choice for Holliday to sign a multi-year deal with? LaRussa has always been a big supporter and fan of McGwire so it's unlikley Holliday had anything to do with it.
The A's will be in St. Louis June 18th - 20th in 2010 but they will not host the Cardinals in Oakland.
Rob Neyer Blogged about McGwire
Buster Olney has a suggestion for Mark but it's insider only

Autosuggestion is a very powerful mental process. Everyone does it. Everyone does it all the time.
It is the term applied to all ideas, thoughts, proposals, or affirmations that are applied by yourself and that reach the mind through the five senses.
In the simplest language auto-suggestion is simply self suggestion or the process of making suggestions to yourself.
They are the most dominant of your thoughts - the ones you dwell on, the ones that stay in the foreground of your mind - that reach the subconscious mind and influence it.
Although most people are unaware of it, everyone has complete control over what messages get through to the subconscious mind. Even people who are aware of this principle seem to be unable to use it.
Elsewhere on this site the nature of the subconscious mind has been discussed. The truth is that you are going to think and the nature of your thoughts will determine your outcomes.
If you don't take control and plant healthy positive thoughts in your subconscious mind with autosuggestion, you can be sure that your subconscious mind will accept the suggestions coming from other sources.
Your mind is like a garden. If you tend it and plant good useful seeds, you will reap a harvest of positivity in your life.
If you ignore what is being planted in your garden and let anything grow there, you will have a nightmare of weed and garbage.
Note, however, that when you use self suggestion, ordinary, bland, uninspiring, insipid words will not reach your subconscious mind anymore than they reach your conscious mind.
Your subconscious mind loves to work on things that are mixed with strong emotion and feeling. This principle is so important that you will find it repeated on many of the pages of this site.
There is a price to pay for being able to influence your subconscious mind:
There is no point and nothing to gain by allowing yourself to become discouraged if your initial attempts at affirmation / self suggestion don't produce the results you desire.
The key is repetition and persistence combined with belief.
Here are some other constructive tips that may help you in your self-help program...
Remember that you need to have a definite goal in mind.
Whatever your goal is, it must be clear and measurable. It must be definite. It must also be something you strongly desire. Hold that goal so firmly in your mind that you can actually see what it looks like.
You need to be able to visualize it. Get into a quiet spot where you will not be disturbed early in the morning or just before bed and relax yourself. Once you're relaxed - state your affirmation / autosuggestion out loud.
Picture yourself as if you had already attained that goal.
Repeat (there's that word again) this program daily (no weekends off) until you start to find yourself automatically taking the actions necessary to get to where you want to go.
Writing your autosuggestions out will also help to get them embedded into your subconscious.
While you do this remember that the purpose of the exercise is to give commands to your subconscious mind. You are not attempting to consciously change.. you must leave it up to your subconscious.
Cynicism and skepticism are far too commonplace these days. It is natural to doubt. It is natural to doubt that affirmations can be so powerful but they are.
As you continue on your path, your skepticism and cynicism will soon be replaced by belief and positive confidence when you realize that your goal is in sight and you've made no conscious effort to get there.
If you want to take your self help program to extreme levels, the method of choice is affirmations with brainwave entrainment.
With entrainment technology you will very quickly plant the seeds of your goals deep in the fertile soil of your subconscious mind.
Compare autosuggestion with affirmation.

I was watching Outside The Lines this morning, and i learned something new. Something I, that I would have guessed could happen. I think this explains why our snowball didnt catch fire. Appearently before it catches fire, and after it has started to roll downhill, at some point it has to bleed. It all makes sense now.
For everyone who didnt get to see, at the 4:34 mark this highly educated ncaa official enlighten me to the order in which these thing happen. while she was talking about package deals in college basketball. It is really a good piece, pay special attention to Tim Floyd at USC and their way of getting around the scholarship rules.
Another part was Caliparri not thinking he had done anything wrong, though seems to get a bit defensive about the subject, interesting.
Also this may be where our good ole coach has his appearant disconnect with kids today, it could just be that he wont bend the rules to bring in this type of kid. For that we should praise the Hall Of Famer, not call for his job.

And now the good stuff begins. Week 9 of UFC The Ultimate Fighter Live brought us to the end of the opening round, and with three weeks to go before the finale, we're ready to go with our quarter-finals.
We'll talk more about those in a minute, but first - the coaches' challenge. Which was, in all honesty, not bad at all. The super slo-mo walk through at the beginning was a bit much, but I liked that this was actually a tough physical challenge as opposed to the air hockey and ping pong of seasons past. Introducing that physical aspect was also very telling when Dominick Cruz absolutely smoked Urijah Faber on the pure physical sections, only to be undone by poor marksmanship. Interesting and dramatic, and surprisingly enjoyable.
With that challenge taking up a lot of time, we didn't get to see much of the quarter-final deliberation, which is a shame, as I like that vibe between Cruz and Faber. Still, some good bits in there, such as Cruz pickling Lawrence and Pichel as his top two (agreed) and Faber picking Iaquinta and Proctor as his (agreed again). When Dana announced the first two quarter-finals - James Vick vs. Joe Proctor and Justin Lawrence vs. Michael Chiesa - the strategy became clear. These quarter-finals will pair one of the top dogs up with one of the lower level fighters. Meaning we'll either get a stacked semi-final or we'll see a big upset or two in the next two weeks, because on paper, none of these quarter-finals seem like they'll be too tough to pick.
Speaking of picks, I got my first TUF pick wrong this week (plus some terrible Fox picks - was a bad week for my prognostication) as Andy Ogle surprised me by taking out Mike Rio. Big surprise there, but while I enjoy Ogle, I still am skeptical about his chances of making it farther in the competition.
Other thoughts:
- No Faber shoulder rub this week. Poor Ogle.
- Rio hopes to give fans the Fight of the Night. Since there's only 1 fight, I'd say that's a very achievable goal.
- I kind of loved Ogle running out of the cage and embracing Ross Pearson.
- Which Team Faber fighters will have to square off? I'm guessing Iaquinta and Ogle, while Saunders faces Pichel.
- I'm interested to see the structure of next week with two live fights scheduled. Should be a fun show.
Mike Rio vs. Andy Ogle:
- As I said above, I like Ogle, so am happy to see him win, and I thought he looked much better than expected. He was beating Rio on the feet, and managed to escape both a takedown and back control, both of which are key parts of Rio's game. Good showing, but enough to take out someone like Iaquinta? Not sure about that.
- As for Rio, I was surprised to see him finished off here. He was definitely losing the stand-up battle (and, while losing, seemed more focused on adjusting his hair, which was annoying), but I thought when it went to the mat he would take it. Didn't happen.
- For my money, I think Ogle broke Rio. After he escaped the takedown and the back mount, Rio seemed mentally defeated. He barely fought to escape Ogle's back mount or the choke and just seemed resigned to defeat.
- Because he was in week 1, James Vick is the one quarter-finalist I haven't really studied. I have a tough time seeing him defeating Proctor, though his reach will be a factor.
- Lawrence vs. Chiesa is meant as a gimme for Lawrence, but I keep replaying Rio controlling Lawrence on the mat and wondering if this is a bad match-up for Justin.
- More analysis on these two fights later this week.

All eyes are on gold, as the yellow metal has just dipped below the psychologically important $1,500 level. Major high-profile speculators — including George Soros — now appear to be taking some of their bets off the table. (See "Soros Selling Gold")
Investors now have a choice: Should they use the recent weakness as an opportunity to buy more gold or, like Soros, should they take their profits and move on to greener pastures?
Long-time readers know that I've been bearish on gold for the past year (see prior gold posts). I held firm that the bull market in gold was supported by increasingly flimsy arguments about inflation (which has yet to surface outside of volatile food and fuel prices) and that gold's primary traditional use–as jewelry–appeared to be in terminal decline. Even in India, the biggest consumer of gold since time immemorial, gold use for jewelry has been in decline since 2005. Rising prices in the face of faltering real-world use gave the look of an investment whose fundamentals were rotting from within.
Anecdotal evidence, such as gold-dispensing ATM machines and the prevalence of "We Buy Gold" billboards across the country, only strengthened my view that gold was in a bona fide bubble or, at a minimum, it had simply become too popular to offer decent long-term returns.
The one gaping hole in my argument was that some very smart money disagreed with me. In taking a bearish view on gold, I was effectively betting against George Soros, David Einhorn, and some other very talented hedge fund managers. As a general rule, it doesn't pay to bet againt the smart money, and this time was no different. I was early in turning bearish on gold, and I should have been more patient.
The question, of course, is what now? None of my arguments have changed. Gold is not an investment. It's a speculation (see post). The bullish arguments for gold are based more on political ideology and cynicism towards the government than on sound fundamentals. It's real-world consumption as jewelry has been replaced by bullion for "investment." And now, we see the smart money starting to lose interest.
Gold might continue to fall, or this could simply be a bump in the road on the way to new highs. Only time will tell. But without a crystal ball, we investors have to make decisions based on the information we have. And right now, gold looks like a bad bet.
Investors might want to follow George Soros's lead and get out while the getting is good. I might suggest they follow Warren Buffett's advice and move their attention to attractively priced stocks paying reliable dividends.

Warriors use fast start to beat Fenton for third straight sectional title
By Curt Herron
It's nice to know that your sectional title match is only one-tenth over and your team is already moving on to the super-sectional.
That scenario obviously doesn't happen very often, but that's exactly what unfolded at Friday's Class 2A Wheaton Academy Sectional.
The host Warriors went out and collected three goals before their championship match against Fenton was even eight minutes old.
Another score before the break and three more after it helped Wheaton Academy wrap up a 7-1 win over the Bison in West Chicago.
It marks the third straight year that coach Scott Marksberry's Warriors have captured a sectional championship.
The Warriors went on to win the Class 2A state title in 2009 before claiming a third place finish a year ago.
They'll assure themselves of a third straight trophy if they can win Tuesday's 4:30 p.m. Benedictine University Super-Sectional.
But that will be no easy task, considering that the Warriors (14-6) will have to get past a rival, St. Francis (18-6-2).
Wheaton Academy won 2-1 over the Spartans on May 2. St. Francis beat Nazareth Academy 1-0 to win its first sectional title.
The two teams met for sectional championships the past two seasons with the Warriors winning 4-1 in 2009 and 4-0 a year ago.
Despite allowing their initial postseason goal, the Warriors have outscored their opponents 30-1 in four playoff matches.
Crystal Thomas scored four goals to lead the winners, netting the first two scores and getting a hat trick in the first half.
Ally Witt chipped in with the other three scores and also handed out assists on a pair of the first-half goals by Thomas.
Also assisting on scores for the Warriors were Molly Cook, Rachael Nasralla, Lizzie Bergquist and Brigitta Engebretsen.
All six of those individuals have been a member of the Warriors' three-straight sectional championship squads.
The other three Warriors who have been on those three teams are Kerrin Clancy, Lexi Youngberg and Kristen Morency.
"In the first eight minutes of the game, we looked exactly like we've looked at training the last few days," Marksberry said. "We moved the ball the same way with the same patterns and speed and finished with even more intensity than in training.
"It was a great start, but it was exactly what I would have expected based on our last two practices. But our girls usually come strong in every game, and that's especially been the case in the last couple of years during the postseason.
"Any match with St. Francis is always great because it's a rivalry and we love playing against those girls. We played them in the sectional finals the last two years so to see them in a super-sectional just adds that much more to the game."
In a season that has been hampered by bad weather conditions, the Warriors are starting to perform well at the right time.
"At the start of the season, we had a lot of young players and we were very inconsistent," Marksberry said. "We've kind of shaken that by continuing to train hard and also to play hard together and we're getting much more consistent.
"I feel like we haven't come close to peaking yet, which is good in one way. We'd like to be a little farther along in terms of peaking but I feel like we're getting better every day and things are really starting to come together for us.
"We've got nine girls who have made two straight trips to state and are looking for a third. They do a great job of talking to the other girls and communicating what we need to do and think so we stay in a rhythm during the postseason."
Thomas started the early scoring burst just 90 seconds into the match when she connected off of a pass from Cook.
In the fourth minute, Thomas found the net for the second time, with Witt collecting her first assist of the day.
The Warriors made it 3-0 with 7:50 gone when Witt connected for the initial time, following a pass from Nasralla.
"In the past few weeks, we've worked on giving a name to every pass so we know where it's going," Nasralla said. "That's what we did during the first 10 minutes and that's what created our sharpness with our passes.
"Our pregame talk consisted of remembering that the presence of God is with us. What we say is that we like to play the way we think our Lord would play soccer. And that's we came out trying to do in today's game.
"It's really nice to be a senior and looking at another run for state. This year is different than the others because we had a brand new team. We've had to get to know each other and we've drawn close this season."
Wheaton Academy added its fourth goal in the 24th minute when the combination of Thomas and Witt hooked up again.
Fenton collected its lone highlight during the 23rd minute when Tina Guarino put in a loose ball from close range.
That's how the two squads headed into the break, but the Warriors quickly built on their 4-1 lead after halftime.
In the 43rd minute, Witt scored her second goal on a line drive that was set up following a pass from Bergquist.
About three minutes after that, Thomas picked up her final score when her attempt hit the post and then went in.
Just a minute later, the Warriors made it 7-1 when Engebretsen sent a free kick to Witt, who scored on a header.
"I hope that we can keep starting off quickly like we did today," Clancy said. "And it was awesome to see the sun finally come out. Although a lot of players on our team are young, they have been adjusting very well.
"It was good to see us going from one- to two-touch, moving after you pass and calling for the ball. One of the things that we've done really well in practice and carried over to games is calling a name before we pass.
"One of the things that I love about this team is that I can always count on everyone to work hard. It would be awesome if we can get back to state. Winning state, taking third and maybe doing it again would be sweet."

THIS PRODUCTION HAS NOW CLOSED:For current London West End theatre showsplease use the menu on the left hand side.
Play by Shakespeare. Directed by Gregory Doran.
Spanning sixteen years, Shakespeare's magical play tells of the constant dangers of love and jealousy and the healing, redemptive power of time.
Gregory Doran is an RSC Associate Director. Recent RSC work includes the enormously successful productions of Cyrano de Bergerac (Swan Theatre/West End), Shakespeare's rarely performed Henry VIII (Swan Theatre/Young Vic, transferring to New York and Washington in May) as well as The Merchant of Venice (currently playing in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre until September).
This production was seen at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon previewed 10 December, opened 6 January 1999, closed 4 March 1999
BARBICAN Theatre previewed 25 March, opened 12 April 1999, closed 6 May 1999
Extract from reviews from Stratford opening:
"Antony Sher was last in Stratford as the big-nosed romantic Cyrano de Bergerac. Now he's taken on the role of Leontes, a Sicilian king so insanely jealous that Sher can get into some serious Joe Pesci-style method acting. He's terrifying... As Leontes, Sher is far better than both John Nettles and Jeremy
Irons, recent contenders in this barking role. He strikes just the right balance between madness and penitence as the play travels across 16 years... The poetic sufferings of Leontes are balanced by some lovely comedy from Ian Hughes as the tinker Autolycus. The world is finally put right and, in Greg Doran's
emotionally generous production, this mighty tall story casts a magic spell. Guaranteed to banish winter glooms." The Express
"It has sometimes seemed as though the one thing that Antony Sher can dependably do upon a stage is absolutely dominate it. Richard Ill, Tamburlaine the Great, Cyrano de Bergerac, Arturo Ui: his CV does not exactly bulge with the shrinking violets of world drama. So when the RSC announced that he was to pull off a double in its forthcoming Winter's Tale, it just felt like the upping of an ante. He was scheduled to play the two most prominent male roles: Leontes, the Sicilian king who triggers the apparent tragedy through his irrational belief in his wife's infidelity, and Autolycus, the ballad-selling rogue and pickpocket who hogs the limelight when Leontes is offstage. I am happy to report that this wheeze has been totally abandoned. Bravura doubling-stunts are best left to tricksy farces such as The Comedy of Errors; The Winter's Tale's modulation between genres requires subtler handing. In the event, Sher has confined himself to Leontes, though "confined" seems scarely the appropriate word given the rich and complex characterisation he offers in Gregory Doran's Edwardian/ Romanov-style production. A portly, bearded, mad-eyed figure in ermine and full regalia, he enters a court that stands frozen like statues to the sound of the paranoid whisperings about to invade his mind. Better than any Leontes I have seen, he proceeds to show that the king's manic mistrust is not so much an outbreak of evil as a kind of massive mid-life crisis that is at once frightening, farcical and pathetic... The one big error is to make Leontes' young son, Mamillius, a pasty weakling in a wheelchair, and to have him performed by the actress (Emily Bruni) who goes on to play the lost and rediscovered daughter, Perdita. The little boy needs to be robust so that his pointless death comes as a harrowing shock, and he should not symbolically metamorphose into his sister, because his demise has to register as a tragedy time cannot redeem. That mistake apart, this is a Winter's Tale impressively told." Paul Taylor, The Independent
"Now sexual jealousy is all the rage and surely ranks as one of the seven deadly facts, or fantasies, threatening marriage, The Winter's Tale hits close to home. In Greg Doran's gripping production, Antony Sher's paranoid King Leontes not only behaves like a suitable case for psychotherapy three times a week, he also exudes the dangerous excitement of a very loose cannon. No wonder Doran took the astute decision to stage the play in what resembles a dream-palace, located on the road to the heart of darkness. Robert Jones's sinister set is reminiscent of de Chirico's surreal paintings... Doran's production may succumb to odd streaks of expensive camp and vulgarity, of which the oracle's message delivered by Ruritarian soldiers and a glittering Patriarch in a false beard is the worst. But it still stylishly communicates a sense of nightmare turbulence ruining a royal marriage and court decorum, with Jones's set eerily changing shape and form. Alexandra Gilbreath's Hermione comes to look so racked by grief that it's no wonder Estelle Kohler, who plays Paulina as a brisk Edwardian governess, pummels the king to the ground with her outraged fists. The fourth act, when Time works its magic amidst merry-making in summery Bohemia seems boisterously overextended. Yet Ian Hughes's delightful Autolycus distracts with his thieving tricks, while Emily Bruni's seductive Miranda falls for Ryan McCluskey's promising Prince. The scene, 16 years on at Leontes's court, with the king sits blankly on the floor, is more shocking in its denuded bleakness, after such jollifications. When Hermione returns from the dead, and nature triumphs over art, Sher seems oddly chilled. But the dramatic impact of the reconciliation is joyous." Nicholas de Jongh, The London Evening Standard
"The most newsworthy feature of the Royal Shakespeare Company's new production of The Winter's Tale is that the star actor Antony Sher plays the jealous tyrant Leontes. Originally he was due to play both that role and the clown/knave Autolycus, a rare double-act. In the event, however, Sher proves the largest of the production's three disappointments. The best news about this staging proves to be its least newsworthy feature: namely, that Gregory Doran, directing, gives us an honest, serious, and unradical account of the play, in which the RSC delivers excellent ensemble playing, amid which two of the three female roles are played with great distinction. Doran and his designer, Robert Jones, set the play somewhere before and after the first world war. Although this casts no particular illumination - Shakespeare seems to have had some ancient-to-medieval era in mind - most of the cast make its every detail become organic. The heavy bustles worn by Leontes's wife Hermione and her ladies, an elaborate stole she employs, a 78rpm gramophone: these and other un-Shakespearian properties become part of the fibre of the play because they are so naturally and expressively handled here. The Bohemian idyll in the second half is a perfect contrast to the previous, formal court scenes in Sicilia; and the idyll would be utterly engaging were it not for three things. One: as so often with the RSC today, accents are all over the place. The Old Shepherd talks Irish. His son talks Mummerset. Two: Perdita is played as a coarse hoyden by Emily Bruni, so that it is impossible to believe those characters who see in her the grace of royal bloodlines. Three: Autolycus, as usual in recent British productions, is played without charm by Ian Hughes (in a Welsh accent). Nonetheless, this whole episode has vitality and colour, and the young actors cast as Florizel (Ryan McCluskey) and the Young Shepherd (Christopher Brand) bring charm and sweetness to it. At the Sicilian court, we encounter the two finest performances of the production: Alexandra Gilbreath as Hermione and Estelle Kohler as Paulina. The keenness of Gilbreath's attention to other characters, the radiance of her presence, the spontaneity and intelligence with which she utters every word: these light up the role and the play. If only she learnt how to breathe deeply and to enrich her voice with a greater security of lung power and proper control of inflection, she could become a 10 times greater - or rather 10 times less limited - actress. And Kohler catches at once, without any hint of exaggeration, the vehement moral urgency which distinguishes the role of Paulina. With both of these actresses, we travel real journeys of the spirit: with Hermione/Gilbreath, a journey of suffering innocence and of endurance; with Kohler, a journey of sympathy and of time's depredations. Sher, however, gives (as usual) a performance that is all impressive surface without depth, and we travel nowhere with him. Even though this is one of his most deliberately restrained performances, with whole sections delivered between piano and pianissimo, his acting remains of the flashy kind beloved of all too many British critics and spectators, and here he delivers certain stunts that are both characteristic and irritating: the big apoplectic fall backwards (you can see him preparing for it) is merely the most obvious. When Hermione and Polixenes handle her stole, they deepen our understanding of their characters; but when this Leontes smokes, or manipulates a handkerchief, he merely draws attention to his acting technique. To make matters worse, he and Autolycus are the only characters who are audibly amplified and are persistently trailed by two follow-spotlights. When Hermione/Gilbreath says: "My life stands in the level of your dreams", she lights up Shakespeare anew; when Leontes/Sher replies "Your actions are my dreams", (stressing unhelpfully the nouns rather than the verb), he delivers a display of his vocal artfulness. This Winter's Tale shines best when its star actor is not involved." Alistair Macaulay, The Financial Times
"...It is not a play one wants to see betrayed by directorial self-indulgence, and the good news is that the RSC's fortunes continue to revive with Greg Doran's often bravura production on the Stratford main stage. I have sometimes been more moved by The Winter's Tale, but I have never been more gripped by the narrative, or more thrilled by the account of destructive jealousy in the first three acts. Much of the production's success - and also, perhaps, its final failure totally to pierce the heart - can be attributed to the presence of Antony Sher as Leontes. He is the most excitingly charismatic of actors, but the downside is that he never quite lets you forget that you are watching a brilliant show. Nevertheless it is a treat to watch the stage set ablaze with a real star-turn... The emotional pressure of the first half is almost unbearable, but Doran also reveals a delightful lightness of touch with the stylish transformation to Bohemia. Here, the mood suddenly relaxes at the sheep-shearing ceremony, beautifully staged with a life-affirming mixture of sunshine, comedy, great bales of fleece and music. Emily Bruni is a delicious Perdita (but will someone please teach her to speak Shakespeare?), while Ian Hughes's Autolycus comes across like a close relation of Lionel Bart's Fagin. The final act, in which drama seems to make potent contact with religion, isn't quite as spine-tingling as usual, largely because Sher, despite the outward trappings of repentence, isn't a sufficiently inward actor to convey Leontes's spiritual journey. The reconciliations are still powerfully affecting, though, and the whole production has a sweeping confidence that bodes well for the RSC's future." Charles Spencer, The Daily Telegraph

I've noticed that the above story is garnering a bit of attention, and will more than likely gain even more steam the closer we get to tip-off on Saturday against the Heels. To be candid, I had totally forgotten about the fact that Wall is from North Carolina and might be experiencing some feelings about his recruitment by UNC, or rather, lack of recruitment going into Saturday's game against them. Wall says that it doesn't bother him, of course, but in the same piece goes on to say that "he grew up bleeding blue - Carolina blue". There was some discussion in Ken's recent piece about how we match up against North Carolina and I'm fairly certain that the general consensus is that at the 1 position, the advantage definitely goes to Kentucky. But, how about when the person at the one position feels he has something to prove? Is it still an advantage to Kentucky? I'm going to say yes, and I can't wait to find out for sure.
He'll have to sit the Campbellsville exhibition game, and the first regular season game against Morehead.
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive confirmed to ESPN.com that there are eligibility issues regarding both Kentucky top recruit John Wall and Mississippi State's top freshman Renardo Sidney. Sidney's eligibility has been discussed for months, but this is the first it has been publicly acknowledged that there could be a question about Wall's eligibility. A source also told ESPN.com that Kentucky has been investigating Wall's eligibility for months because his former AAU coach was a certified agent.
According to this, Wall will enter a program for first time offenders and could end up having his record cleared.
If true ... well, I don't even want to consider the possibilities. HAT TIP: Ridiculous Scott
Now this is cool. Recruits recruiting John Wall hard. I think Jon Hood did the best, but I am forced to admit a bit of partisanship.
You gotta be freakin' kidding me! Can things with this guy get any stranger? KSR says it was an abandoned house, but still. C'mon!
Lots and lots of interesting stuff on here. John Wall and Xavier Henry both talk UK, along with a tiny bit about other schools. UK fans dominate the chat, and I think both players give us some hints about what they are thinking. The thing that got me about Wall was that he is wanting to stay close to home. The thing that struck me about Henry were his comments vis-a-vis Jodie Meeks. Enjoy, and discuss.
Micheal Eaves spoke very recently to DeMarcus Cousins, Xavier Henry and John Wall, and came away with the feeling that Henry and Wall would likely follow Cousins to the Bluegrass. I still believe Henry will wind up at Kansas, and I have no idea about Wall -- but this a first-person contact that has to be given some credibility, at least as much as the same comments made by the players to Rivals and Scout. If this were to somehow actually happen, I am of the opinion that it would represent the greatest college recruiting class in my memory -- a total of four of the top 25 recruits including the Rivals #1, #2 and #3.

Washington, DC - Democrats at a Senate Banking Committee hearing Thursday took turns blaming the financial meltdown on years of money-hungry investment firms on Wall Street getting away with risky ventures while government regulators looked the other way and people enticed into mortgages they couldn't afford, lost their homes.
"Literally thousands and thousands of people ended up with mortgages vastly more expensive than ones they qualified for. That is criminal in my view," said Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT).
A panel of former regulators and reform advocates agreed one thing missing in the current crisis is some way to punish those who caused it.
"I don't know anything worse than stealing somebody's house and ruining somebody's neighborhood, ruining an economy," said Eric Stein, Center for Responsible Lending.
The Ohio plumber who became an instant celebrity when his complaint about taxes in opening his own business was a point of argument in the presidential debate could just as easily be a victim of the credit crisis, said one Democrat.
"When the regulators have simply been asleep on the job, or been co-opted by Wall Street and some banks, makes it way too difficult," said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH).
As for what to do now, senators were told buying up troubled mortgages would cost billions the government would never get back because home values have plummeted.
"Many of them are empty, they've been gutted, they're in communities where there are a lot of additional properties that are empty as a result of this foreclosure crisis," said James Rokakis, county treasurer.
One thing seems sure: lots more government regulation of financial markets. Massive changes are being called for here, especially when it comes to protecting the consumer.

Have You Seen Her?????
One crazy, hectic, Friday afternoon I was planning to see my husband/wife patients at the end of the day. Their visits were typically uneventful, and I really enjoyed taking care of them. With his hearing loss, and her confusion, we often wondered if they were ok at home alone. But they complimented one another, and did just fine. As I walked up to the door, I checked my watch- just enough time to do my visits, and be on my way. I loudly knocked(so he could hear), and announced myself through the door, (so she wouldnt be afraid). I heard her come to the door, after I guided her through the process of turning the lock, then turning the handle(yes, I had to instruct her to turn the knob), she let me in. "Oh" she said, "You're here, let me go get my husband from the bedroom". I took my coat off, sat down on the couch, and started filling out my paperwork. After a few minutes, I still continued to sit there.. what was she doing??? By this point, frustration was setting in. I was now going to be completely off schedule. Waiting. Waiting. More waiting. Fifteen minutes had passed. Now I didnt know what to do.. go look for them or just leave. Well, I couldnt just leave. I slowly walked to the bedroom door, and called through the door "yoo hoo". Nothing. Now, I was starting to panic. I had to go in. I had to make sure they were ok. I slowly opened the door, as I peaked in, the lights were off. I became more nervous. I flipped on the lights to find the two of them in bed- SLEEPING!! She went in to get him, he was napping, saw him sleeping- and got in bed too! They both quickly sat up in bed looking more startled than I was, and she looked at me and said, "Who let you in????" After 30 minutes in the home, I never did get to do my visits. I told them I would be back tomorrow because they were napping now.

TCU, Big East in Negotiations
Seems like a no-brainer on the football side. My main question is how does TCU fit in logistically to a 16-team basketball league? As we learned this summer, though, basketball doesn't seem to matter at all when it comes to realignment. I think it happens. I think this is just another example of The Man trying to keep PU down by killing the MWC ahead of time.
