DPE: Now More Than Ever
Patients should understand their diagnoses, be empowered to ask questions, and feel understood by their physicians. But the unfortunate reality is that doctor–patient relationships are often fraught with conflict. Traditionally, patients have viewed doctors as authority figures, and have taken on submissive, passive, and compliant roles. Pharma companies can help build stronger bonds between patients and doctors by developing a DPE strategy that can spark more fluid conversations and promote a branded drug at the same time.
DPE programs are designed to address communication issues and the snafus and clinical missteps that inevitably occur as a result of miscommunication. When the basic elements of a well-formulated DPE are combined, the outcomes are positive. Patients are more adherent to therapy and take better care of themselves, and overall, both patients and physicians are more satisfied.
On the most fundamental level, DPE communication programs should take into account all aspects of human nature. It is human nature to feel ashamed of losing control of one's emotions, just as it is human nature to pick up non-threatening, attractive reading material positioned at eye level in the waiting room of a physician's office. DPE programs should help build relationships, initiate conversations about specific concerns, help generate useful information, provide insight into the patient perspective, and provide a context in which an agreement is reached.
Push for Positioning
As Schwarz Pharma prepared to launch Niravam for the treatment of anxiety and panic disorder in August 2005, there were several marketing challenges. Besides the traditional struggle to raise awareness about general anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder (PD), and successfully address the stigma related to these disorders, brand managers faced significant competition from generic Xanax (alprazolam, tablets). With all these factors weighing on the success of the drug, the company needed a sound patient-positioning strategy, based on unique and relevant brand-related features.
The Niravam patient-positioning strategy and the resulting Niravam DPE program were created in response to feedback from patients with GAD or PD and input from physician thought leaders. During intensive one-on-one interviews with patients, researchers found that in addition to feeling on edge, being excessively worried, fearing loss of control, being irritable, and lacking the ability to concentrate, patients wanted to achieve four things above all else:
Meanwhile, physician thought leaders confirmed the need for educational content in the office. Patients needed the encouragement to speak up about their symptoms and ask for help, and to know they were experiencing something the doctor could help them with. The thought leaders also noted that physicians could use some help with the process of differential diagnostics between depression and anxiety disorders. There was an obvious convergence between patients' needs and doctors' needs.
Differentiation Is Key
Although Niravam faced competition in the market, it possesses a key differentiating feature. Unlike conventional alprazolam, Niravam uses orally dissolving technology to quickly liquefy on the tongue without water. This feature allowed Schwarz Pharma to position Niravam to patients in a way that was both relevant (based on its convenience) and differentiating (unique administration). The campaign slogan: "Now you can take charge of the way you feel, because only Niravam's rapid-dissolving tablet relieves symptoms wherever and whenever you need relief."
This positioning strategy, which captured the emotional essence of Niravam, provided the foundation for a DPE-based communication program designed to help patients self-identify with GAD and PD and to seek treatment. More specifically, the Niravam DPE program, aimed at both patients and physicians, was created to ignite a conversation that would ultimately help patients with anxiety disorders to have meaningful conversations with well-informed physicians about their symptoms, and about how to best address those symptoms.
Nuts and Bolts
Schwarz Pharma's program included educational material for patients and physicians, including separate brochures for GAD and PD. The physician and patient brochures featured three main components: education, a test, and communication tips. The educational component focused on defining the disorder based on symptoms, citing prevalence, and acknowledging that despite the existing stigma, GAD and PD are treatable disorders that should not be a source of shame.
The Niravam DPE program combined elements of written and spoken communication, as well as strong visual imagery to capture patients' attention. The literature featured an illustration of a person rising out of a spinning body with a worried face and tense shoulders, conveying the feeling of "spinning out of control." The patient brochures, entitled "Put a Hold on Panic" and "Wind Down Anxiety," were housed in an eye-level display with imagery of the spinning body prominently featured. The display is lighthearted enough to encourage visitors to casually pick up the materials and read them.
Finally, there was one last critical piece of written content in the program—the post-visit, follow-through handout aptly entitled "From the Desk Of Your Doctor." This hand-out not only functioned as a reminder to patients to adhere to their prescribed treatment, but also introduced Niravam to patients. Additionally, this branded element provided requisite safety information and metaphorically extended the conversation that was initiated during the DPE.
By having DPE materials available, patients have a chance to learn more about their ailment, giving them a leg up when it's time to talk to their doctor. Understanding begins with good communication, and there's no better place to start communicating with patients than in the waiting room.

When the Komets open their best-of-seven Turner Cup Finals series against the Flint Generals on Saturday night, they want to make sure they get off to a good start.
Same holds true for Games 2 and 3 and so on.
Sounds obvious, I know, but the Komets know they've played with fire way too often when it comes to slow starts.
The Komets' successful recovery from a 3-1 deficit in the semifinals against Port Huron was the third time in six years the Komets have had to pull off that feat.
"We've already used up enough of our nine lives," Komets defenseman Danko Mironovic said. "We can't afford to go down again. We can't be playing with fire like that. Right from Game 1, we have to treat it like do-or-die, back against the wall."
Some of the players admitted, they didn't have the necessary urgency early in the Port Huron series. Flint is on fire, having won its last three games, including a 5-2 victory in Game 7 on Wednesday to knock off top-seeded Muskegon. The Komets can ill afford to give the Generals any confidence.
Flint won 6 of 12 games against the Komets during the regular season, so they already have plenty of that.
"I don't want to fall behind 3-1 or 3-0 in this series," Komets coach Al Sims said. "Eventually, the breaks aren't going to go our way. You need breaks to win hockey games. We were fortunate we got the breaks those last three games and it helped us to win the series."
- I will explain in detail why, during our special section coming out Saturday (hint, hint, buy the newspaper), but here are the four key matchups I have for the series: Matt Syroczynski vs. goaltender Rob Nolan; Colin Chaulk vs. Bryan Smolinski; Kevin Bertram vs. Pascal Rheaume; and Leo Thomas vs. Jake Pence. I'd love to read yours, so put them in the comments sections.
- I normally think the references hockey writers use to "Slap Shot" are way overdone. But in this case, Bill Khan is dead on: Click here.
- Ron Rop eulogizes professional hockey in Muskegon: Click here. I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- they are going to hate the junior hockey they're getting there. Not as much as Flint is going to hate the North American Hockey League junior hockey it's getting next season, assuming the IHL doesn't field a team there, too. But I want Muskegon fans to get back to us on this issue in about, oh, seven months, once they've gotten a good taste of the United States Hockey League.

Barcelona - Barcelona will consider purchase bids for Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez, who scored twice in his nation's World Cup campaign, club sporting chief Andoni Zubizarreta has said on Tuesday.
"In Alexis's case, there have been movements in the market and there have been proposals," Zubizarreta told journalists.
"We will seek a solution and if it is good for him and for us, we will analyse it."
The 25-year-old Chilean international has demonstrated a high level of ability in Brazil, sports director Zubizarreta said.
"He has shown his quality as a player and he has been possibly one of the best players in this World Cup," he added.
However, the Barcelona official ruled out any chance of the club selling 26-year-old Pedro Rodriguez, who plays in the same position.
"Pedro is not transferable. If we say we need to recover intensity, rhythm, speed, Pedro represents that," he added.
"I have no doubt he will be in the squad for 2014-15."
With two goals in the World Cup, one of them in the quarterfinals against Brazil in which Chile was eliminated on penalties, media speculation is mounting that Barcelona could lock in a high sale price for Sanchez to help finance other signings.
Barca also officially unveiled Ivan Rakitic on Tuesday, the Croatian international midfielder having signed a five-year deal witht eh Catalans.
The 26-year-old, former captain of La Liga rivals Sevilla and back from international duty at the World Cup, will take over the number four shirt vacated by Chelsea-bound Cesc Fabregas.

Jeff Parke finally comes home to Sounders FC
Sounders FC defender Jeff Parke weighed options in Europe before finally deciding to come back and try to get a deal done with his Major League Soccer team, four months after being chosen in the league's expansion draft.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Real Salt Lake @ Seattle, 7:30 p.m., KONG
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
TUKWILA — In the end, Jeff Parke came back. Back to the United States, back to Seattle.
He'd been here in December, not long after Sounders FC chose him in the Major League Soccer expansion draft, for contract talks. But those broke off, and Parke decided to try his luck at a free-agent deal in Europe.
Two months later, Parke, a central defender who celebrated his 27th birthday Monday, has finally reported to Sounders FC after opting to not pursue those opportunities. He's the only expansion draftee without a contract with MLS, which signs players on behalf of teams.
Parke played in Friday's reserve game for Seattle, his first action with the team after arriving in town Thursday. He watched his old team, the New York Red Bulls, get clobbered by Seattle in its season opener. He practiced Monday at Starfire Sports Complex.
All of this, after tryouts with two first-division teams in Belgium, Anderlecht and K.V. Mechelen, earlier this year. He said he could have remained in Belgium but chose to return to America.
"The grass isn't always greener on the other side, as they say," Parke said. "The situations that I was in were difficult and I didn't want to put myself in a situation where it was unpleasant every day."
Parke can't play in any games until his league-imposed 10-game suspension is complete. He was suspended for violation of the MLS substance abuse policy last year. Parke missed six games, including the Red Bulls' playoff run, in 2008, and this year's opener. He will be eligible to suit up when Seattle plays at Chivas USA on April 18.
Parke and Sounders FC executives can start contract negotiations immediately. Parke was energized by the atmosphere and support from fans at sold-out Qwest Field Thursday and the urging of his friend and Sounders FC teammate, Taylor Graham.
"It wasn't a matter of me not liking the city or not liking this area or the team or the franchise," Parke said. "At the end of the day it's tough because my whole career, I've been, basically, at a salary where I feel I need to grow. For a professional, in order to get better, you have to have certain things to help you get better, and that's just one of the things I believe I needed to help me."
Parke said he meant no disrespect to Sounders FC by not signing right away, but needed to take care of himself and his family, and going overseas was and remains a dream to him.
"I saw what it was like, and I know I can play at that level, but there's certain things that needed to be taken care of here for me," he said. "It's a matter of going home and saying 'You know what, I feel appreciated,' and that's where I was at."
Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid said he wished he would have had Parke, a sixth-year MLS veteran, with the team 2 ½ months ago. "But he's here and now we have to figure out how he factors into the whole equation, and that's going to take a little bit of time," Schmid said.
• Forward Fredy Montero was named MLS Player of the Week for his two-goal, one assist performance in Seattle's win Thursday.

Sellout crowd sees Shoni Schimmel play and Storm beat Dream, 88-68
The Seattle Storm gets out to a big lead early and rolls to an 88-68 win before a sellout crowd of 9.686 at KeyArena.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Many in the crowd of 9,686 chanted "Shoni! Shoni!" on Thursday night for Shoni Schimmel. The 5-foot-9 guard, who was raised on a reservation in northeast Oregon, responded early with a three-pointer that caused cheers to reverberate through KeyArena.
But the Atlanta rookie wasn't enough to stop Seattle. The Storm dusted off its own version of showtime to counter the player dubbed "Sho-time" to win, 88-68.
"We were mad," Storm forward Camille Little said of the atmosphere creating the feel of a road game. "This is our home court. We wanted to play well, and we're playing for our lives right now."
Two playoff spots remain open in the Western Conference after Los Angeles and San Antonio suffered losses this week. But Seattle (11-20) has to win its remaining three games in order to have a chance at a WNBA-record 11th straight berth.
The postseason push and motivation to not let a rookie outplay them helped the Storm jump out to a 19-5 lead midway through the opening quarter.
The Storm was up 38-18 after a reverse layin from center Angel Robinson with 6:46 left in the half. And it entered the break with a 53-30 advantage, shooting 55.6 percent from the field and getting points from 10 different players.
For the game, Little led all scorers with 21 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. Seattle has won its past two after a seven-game losing streak.
Schimmel, who was raised on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon, made her only WNBA appearance in the Northwest of the season. The Storm sold "Schimmel MVP" shirts, with proceeds going to her foundation, had a pregame recognition at halfcourt and helped organize a meet-and-greet after the game for Schimmel.
Schimmel, the first rookie to be named an MVP of the All-Star Game, could have been part of the Storm.
Among the signs celebrating Schimmel's return were messages to Storm coach and general manager Brian Agler that he should have drafted the star out of Louisville. Schimmel was selected with the eighth overall pick by Atlanta in April. It was one selection after Seattle's, which was used to draft guard Bria Hartley. Hartley was then traded to Washington for veteran forward Crystal Langhorne, a stopgap in the paint for Australian center Lauren Jackson, who missed her second consecutive WNBA season due to injury.
Schimmel's arrival created the Storm's first reported sellout since July 2013.
"I had to second-guess starting her," said Atlanta coach Michael Cooper of Schimmel, who finished with 14 points and six assists of the bench.
But despite Schimmel's play, the Dream (17-12) has struggled, losing seven of its past nine games.
"It was nice to have that atmosphere back again, so good for her," Storm guard Tanisha Wright said. "But we're focused on playing good basketball. As long as we're doing that, we'll have opportunities."

text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 182110 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 310 PM CST Tue Nov 18 2014 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday) Issued at 301 PM CST TUE NOV 18 2014 Water vapor imagery showed the broad, expansive mid-level trough stretched across much of the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. with the trough axis centered over the Great Lakes region. At the surface, high pressure prevailed across the southeastern U.S. with an area of low pressure across the High Plains and Northern Plains. As this low pressure dug southward across the High Plains, winds backed to the southwest through the day. These southwesterly winds combined with sunny skies resulting in temperatures moderating into the low/mid 30s where there was still snow cover to low/mid 40s where there was no snow cover. Models show a weak cold front tracking eastward across the area tonight through the overnight hours, however expect conditions to remain dry with only some mid/high clouds developing with the frontal passage. Winds will veer to the northwest behind the front, resulting in similar or slightly cooler temperatures for Wednesday with highs in the mid 30s to low 40s. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday) Issued at 301 PM CST TUE NOV 18 2014 The amplified longer wave length upper trough across the eastern conus will begin to fill and shift farther east. Split upper flow will develop across the western and central conus. Zonal upper level flow will develop across the southern plains on Thursday. a low-amplitude H5 trough along the AZ/NM border will move into the TX PNHDL by 00Z FRI. A lee surface trough will develop across eastern CO. The cold surface ridge will extended from IA, southward into the lower MS river valley. Easterly surface winds will keep Highs cooler on Thursday, with mid 30s across the far northeast counties and lower 40s south of I-70. Thursday night into Friday morning. The weak H5 trough will move eastward across OK. Southwesterly 850mb winds will advect richer moisture northeast over the a shallow cold airmass in place across the CWA. The resulting isentropic lift may produce patchy freezing drizzle across the area after midnight and into the morning hours of Friday. Temperatures will slowly warm Friday morning and should warm above freezing from south to north across the CWA between 700 AM and Noon. The GFS is most robust with the potential for freezing drizzle across the CWA. The NAM and ECMWF forecast soundings show the better chances for freezing drizzle south of I-70 with perhaps enough ascent in the lowest 3,000 feet for freezing drizzle to develop late Thursday night into Friday morning. In the next couple forecast cycles, some of the mesoscale model solutions will become available within this forecast period. Friday, WAA and isentropic lift will continue the chances for some freezing drizzle north of I-70 from 8 to 11 AM. Surface temperatures south of I-70 should begin to warm above freezing through the mid morning hours. Friday afternoon, everyone should change over to drizzle or periods of light rain. highs on Friday will reach the upper 30s to mid 40s. Friday night through Sunday, a more amplified H5 trough will move east from the southwestern US across the southern plains. Temperatures at the surface and up to 850mb will remain above freezing, so the stronger ascent will only result in rain chances through he weekend across the area. Friday night some areas of north central KS may be close to the freezing mark and if drizzle redevelops, some of it could be freezing drizzle before temps warm above freezing. Highs both Friday and Saturday will reach the upper 40s to mid 50s. Overnight lows will only drop off into the mid 30s across north central KS with lower to mid 40s across east central KS. Sunday night and Monday, As the upper trough begins to lift northeast into the upper Midwest and mid MS river valley, colder air will eventually be advect southward across the plains. Most of the moisture will move the the east and northeast of the CWA. The ECMWF has a stronger H5 trough digging southeast across NE into MO on Monday which could provide a chance for light rain mixed with snow, changing to light snow as vertical temperature profiles cool below 0 deg C due to advection and ascent. Too early to tell about accumulations but the 12Z ECMWF does a band of light snow moving southeast across the CWA during the day on Monday with QPF values near 0.15". This could potentially give the CWA a couple inches of snow. Monday will be colder with highs in the 30s Tuesday, a surface ridge will move east across KS. Even with insolation, highs will only warm into the mid 30s to lower 40s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFs through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 1149 AM CST TUE NOV 18 2014 For the 18z TAFs, VFR conditions are expected through the period with southwesterly winds veering to the northwest by Wednesday. With the low-level jet expected to increase tonight and shift eastward over the area, there is the potential for some llws to occur later tonight for a few hours.

Creamy Fettuccine with Sweet Peas and Prosciutto
Posted: Updated:
Creamy Fettuccine with Sweet Peas and Prosciutto
Aimee Herring
Provided by: Lauren Braun Costello
total prep
A classic dish with a twist, this recipe uses Philadelphia Cream Cheese(tm) to maximize flavor and feel. Melted cream cheese makes a luscious and velvety sauce that is perfectly paired with tender fettuccine. Sweet peas add a textural surprise with a touch of sweetness, while the prosciutto gives that salty and savory finish.
- Gather these tools: cutting board, chef's knife, dry and wet measuring cups, measuring spoons, stockpot, colander, large sauce pan, whisk, tongs
- Prepare the fettuccine in a stockpot according to the instructions on the package. Drain, rinse and set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, half and half, Parmesan, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Using a whisk, stir gently and constantly until the cream cheese has melted, about 2 minutes. Continue to simmer over a medium-low heat until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the sauce into the stockpot in which the fettuccine was cooked. Return the cooked pasta to the pot and toss well to coat. Add in the sweet peas and prosciutto and toss well to incorporate.
- Serve immediately with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

Google Execs Still At $1/Year, But Company Cuts Other Perks
Google's trio of top leaders — co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, plus CEO Eric Schmidt — continued to receive $1 salaries in 2009, but it was a series of other cutbacks that helped the company earn $6.5 billion in profit last year.
The AP reports that some of those cutbacks directly impacted Schmidt's overall compensation:
Schmidt's 2009 package totaled $245,322, down from $508,764 in 2008, according to documents filed Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The sharp decrease reflected lower bills for protecting Schmidt and flying his personal guests on jets chartered by Google.
Google's cutbacks last year also included layoffs and, as the AP reports, closing some of its employee cafeterias.

Via The Globe and Mail, an excellent report by Stephanie Nolen in Niteroi: Brazil's ambitious HIV treatment plan based on Canadian concept.
Brazil has a long history of innovation on HIV and is held up as the great developing country success story in fighting AIDS.
It had national free public AIDS treatment before anywhere else, and it had huge success enlisting gay men, sex workers and drug users in the fight to stop the virus. But with a new plan launched late last year, Brazil is poised to go one step further. It wants to stop the spread of HIV by putting every single person who has the virus on treatment, whether they are sick or not.
The concept – known as "treatment as prevention" – has Canadian roots. It was pioneered by, among others, Julio Montaner, a leading AIDS physician in British Columbia and former president of the International AIDS Society who credits it with the fact that Vancouver closed its AIDS ward earlier this year. It's policy now in B.C. – and while Canada as a whole hasn't adopted it, China, Australia, France and the U.S. all want to use the model.
But Brazil has gone furthest, and with 720,000 people living with HIV, this country has taken the concept to a whole new scale, once again blazing an ambitious path in the response to AIDS.
Thirty years ago, Brazil's dedicated push on HIV helped rein in the epidemic, cutting new infections sharply. But those numbers started to creep up again because Brazil got complacent, its own officials agree, and for two other key reasons.
First, the virus has spread into every nook and cranny of the country, including the vast swaths of the Amazon forest where the health system struggles to provide even basic care.
And second, in Brazil like everywhere else, there is a generation of young people who don't recall the decimation AIDS wrought in the 1980s, who think of it as a treatable illness, and for whom safer-sex messages fall on deaf ears.
"Our strategies have been failing, and it's clear we need a new one," said Inacio Queiroz, president of the chapter of Pela Vidda (For Life) in this city across the bay from Rio de Janeiro.
That's where the new plan comes in. Putting people on anti-retroviral therapy (ARVs) stops the spread of HIV because people on treatment have so little presence of the virus in their bodily fluids that it's called "undetectable"; they are 90 per cent less likely to infect partners with whom they have unprotected sex or share needles. (The virus is still present in genomic material in their cells and eventually starts to circulate again, when it grows resistant to the medication.)

Colorado passes measures to regulate recreational use of marijuana
Online Staff Report
Measures to regulate the recreational use of marijuana in Colorado were signed into law May 28 by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D).
Among the regulations is a bill for a referendum in November calling for a 15 percent excise tax and an additional 10 percent sales tax on marijuana sales.
The legislative package also sets blood limits for driving while under the influence of marijuana at 5 nanograms per milliliter, and limits purchases of marijuana to non-Colorado residents to one-quarter to 1 ounce.
The regulations come after Colorado voters charged lawmakers with setting up the regulatory system after approving legislation in a vote last November.
State lawmakers in Illinois approved a measure May 17 that would allow Illinois residents with serious illnesses to use medical marijuana if their doctors recommend it. The bill is awaiting the signature of Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D). Quinn has said he is "open-minded" to signing the bill into law.
The Senate approved the measure 35-21 May 17, and it received approval from the House of Representatives by a vote of 61-57 April 17.
The measure, House Bill 1, would allow people suffering from specific medical conditions, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, and rheumatoid arthritis to use medical marijuana if their doctors recommend it. Qualified patients would be able to obtain marijuana from one of up to 60 dispensaries, which would acquire marijuana from up to 22 cultivation centers. The Illinois Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, and Department of Financial & Professional Regulation would regulate the cultivation, acquisition and distribution of marijuana.
Eighteen states and Washington, D.C., allow patients with qualifying conditions to use medical marijuana with recommendations from their physicians. Similar legislation has been introduced in 16 additional states this year, and it is anticipated in one more state.

What Do You Refuse To Give Up During the Recession?
No matter what you call it, the economy is dismal. And whether it's due to necessity or just a little financial prudence, a lot of my friends are trimming the fat from their budgets. Gone are the expensive salon highlights; instead, they're coloring their hair at home. Forget facials — it's all about the at-home face mask. Pedicures are an extravagance that they can't justify anymore.
Then again, there are some things people just don't want to give up. I'm willing to skimp on my sunscreen and nail polish, but you'll get my Schick Quattro when you take it from my cold, dead hands. I've tried to go cheap on razors, which results in razor burn, so I'm willing to spend a few extra bucks for a better shave. So while you're cutting back on some things, what won't you give up?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Aussies bid farewell to Rudd
A "bastard" with the soul of Niccolo Machiavelli and the face of parish priest left the Australian political stage Wednesday night, and you could almost hear Macbeth's witches cackling around their cauldrons.
Kevin Rudd, son of a poor share farmer, Mandarin-speaking diplomat, political pop star and twice Australian prime minister, gave a tearful valedictory speech to federal Parliament Wednesday night.
"This has been the product of much soul-searching for us as a family over the last few months," he said of his beloved wife Therese and three adult children.
"But for me, my family is everything -- always has been, always will be -- which is why I will not be continuing as a member of this Parliament beyond this week."
Newly installed Prime Minister Tony Abbott took the shock announcement in his stride, graciously saluting the now backbencher who created a personal political phenomenon that held the country captive for seven years.
"It does take an extraordinary person to lead an extraordinary country," said Abbott, who was clearly employing some understatement.
The Shakespearean analogies were underway in the aftermath as commentators struggled to define the public life of a man who, perhaps more than any other figure in postwar Australian politics, could be described as a force of nature.
A rewrite of the 400-year-old play Macbeth might be a starting point for the screenplay to capture the bloodthirsty ambition, mingled with conflict and guilt, that Rudd's career visited upon the century-old Australian Labour Party.
Winning the Labour leadership in December 2006 by toppling King Duncan (the affable Kim Beazley), Rudd, with new glamour deputy Julia Gillard by his side, texted and Facebooked his way into popular culture.
Millions of ordinary Australians loved him in a manner difficult to convey to those who haven't witnessed one of his shopping-mall walks.
With the face of an incorruptible cherub framed by a flop of silver hair, the new Opposition leader looked light years removed from a Macbeth.
Far from being a central figure in a dark tragedy, to the people, he was more the kindly priest waiting in the confessional to hear the country's ills.
Establishing emotional intimacy with effortless ease, Rudd was the recipient of hundreds of family histories and personal trials and triumphs.
Entire lives could be poured out in torrents within seconds of a simple Rudd "g'day" greeting.
But that public ardour held the seeds of Rudd's own downfall, playing its role in the chain of enzymatic reactions leading to his political death.
After putting long-term prime minister John Howard to the sword in late 2007, Rudd, according to many in Rudd's own the Labour Party, became a Macbeth in the PM's office, gripped by hubris and wielding tyrannical rule over a quivering public service.
The extraordinary highs of the polls were destined to suffer massive declines, and when they did in June 2010, the party gleefully drew the dagger.
The ALP killed off one of its most successful leaders two-and-a-half years after he had won office, installing deputy Gillard in the prime minister's suite.
That Gillard is cast as a reworked Lady Macbeth is a given. But in this Down Under Shakespearean tragedy, Rudd also remains on stage as a version of Banquo's ghost -- a vengeful spectre rising up in awkward moments to unnerve the new queen.
Rudd and Gillard engaged in a death struggle which both transfixed and wearied the nation until last June when, in the most extraordinary comeback in Australian history, Rudd sunk the dagger back into Gillard and took back his throne.
Gillard went off to academic life, while Rudd, reanimated from his ghostly presence, once again charmed the nation.
Then, in September, Abbott entered stage right as Macduff and slew Rudd, putting the ruling National/Liberal Party coalition back in power after just six years in exile.
The closing scene has Labour stunned and broken on the stage, wondering where it all went so horribly wrong.
Former Labour leader Mark Latham recently played the witch, cackling around the cauldron.
Latham suggested there was no great mystery in this tragic tale, which Rudd's own self-destructive, egotistical ambition had made inevitable from the beginning.
"Quite truthfully, he was a bastard,'' Latham said.
Michael Madigan is the Winnipeg Free Press correspondent in Australia. He writes mostly about politics for the Brisbane-based Courier Mail.

* Are you able to control your behaviors? Inpatient treatment provides constant supervision to offset the temptation of drugs or eating disordered behavior in the early stages of treatment.

Check out the pop star with fiance Matt Rutler at the Breakthrough Prize Awards at Hangar One, a former NASA airship shelter, in Mountain View, Calif.:
The singer welcomed daughter Summer Rain just under three months ago, and clearly her efforts to shed the baby weight have yielded some impressive results.
Her figure hugging, full length gown was as bold and eye-catching as The Voice coach herself, especially with her blonde curls and matching red lips.
Aguilera, who will return for The Voice Season 8, been working on new material in the studio, and took to the stage for a rousing rendition of her 2002 hit "Beautiful."
She was one of the stars the show, which honors pioneers in math and science and was attended by the likes of Kate Beckinsale and Cameron Diaz.

I was looking for a coat like this for some time (so many coats like this had the sweater insert thing that I did not like). I wear it to work, and it works well when I'm wearing a suit or in slacks. I've even worn it with jeans. Very versatile. With the liner, I wear it in the winter. (In Chicago.) It's also very high quality. I've had mine now for more than a year, and actually purchased a second coat. (I keep one at my office and one at home.) Just a great coat, and an incredible value.
I love this coat, nice features, sharp look, good weight and excellent value for the money. If it came in other colors I'd buy those as well.
sleeves length on a L were mid-forearms. Way too short.
Just what we expected. Fit was right. Simple lines.
What a great deal. Tried it on at Macy's first, nearly the exact same coat for wsy more.

- Summary: A Royal Affair is the true story of an ordinary man who wins the queen's heart and starts a revolution. Centering on the intriguing love triangle between the ever more insane Danish King Christian VII (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard), the royal physician who is a man of enlightenment and idealism Struensee and the young but strong Queen Caroline Mathilda, A Royal Affair is the gripping tale of brave idealists who risk everything in their pursuit of freedom for their people… Above all it is the story of a passionate and forbidden romance that changed an entire nation.

With its sumptuous settings, urgent romance and intellectual substance, A Royal Affair is a mind-opener crossed with a bodice-ripper.
Takes a fascinating chapter in Danish history, little-known to general audiences, and presents it engagingly.
While it's lavish and lush in all the expected costume-drama ways, A Royal Affair never bogs down in period detail. What drives the film, along with great acting, is the appetite of director Nikolaj Arcel and his boisterous co-writer Rasmus Heisterberg ("I want a fun queen!" wails Christian) for the queasy workings of political gamesmanship both above and below board.
But even appreciated simply as a little-known chapter of European history, it proves consistently engrossing, edifying and affecting.
A Royal Affair...is a lovely history lesson, but a film without the spark of invention that makes this modern parable feel modern.
It is certainly competent, lovely to look at, but leaves little lasting impression.
Intrigue and eroticism abound, all of it watchable, none of it particularly exciting. And the misty widescreen photography lends the proceedings a funereal air of respectability that's like catnip to Oscar voters.

Dec 11, 2012A Royal Affair is quite simply the best historical costume drama that I have seen for years. This is what one hopes for every time from this type of film and all to often what one gets is the debacle of something like 'The Affair of the necklace'. An unknown (to myself) period of history comes to life in the three areas that matter in a film like this. The acing of the three leads is fantastic with special praise going to Mikkel Boe Folsgaard as the king on the edge of sanity. His performance in a supporting role is the best of this year. The design and costumes are truly beautiful, and last but by no means least the writing where most films of this ilk fall down badly. Not here, however. The story is propelled onwards and upwards by intelligent dialogue delivered with expert precision by the entire cast. At the moment it seems to me that the Danes have cornered the market in quality entertainment, not only in film, but also on tv where their output is also of an extremely high standard of late (Borgen; The Killing; The Bridge to name a few). See A Royal Affair at all costs as it is a gem of a film that has almost slipped by un noticed due to its minuscule release. If you like well acted and beautifully written period dramas about royalty you won't be disappointed.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Near perfection. A historical romance/drama (maybe even a twisted coming of age tale) that never seems laughable or dull. Each of the main characters are complex and given their fair portrayals. Every motivation seems remarkably human and understandable, even if cringe-worthy. It did feel a little long, but that was its only flaw. Beautifully shot, acted, edited, scored, everything.… Expand
Nov 9, 2012The age of enlightenment is a milestone in history that has resulted in the world we live in now. Before, religion and state had overbearing control over what was seen by their citizens, and any inkling of free thought could result in a quick trip to the guillotine. Then a new era was ushered in, where books became more valuable than almost anything else. Information could be freely sought and learning to question authorities was encouraged. Yet, in some countries, this was (and still is) a discouraged notion. It took many nations years before the age of enlightenment could become mainstay, albeit to much hesitation. A Royal Affair is a portrait of this time, showing Denmark… Expand
Mar 9, 2013A European film which does not lack the luster of the Hollywood films, but however still intelligent and substantial. This film takes a fascinating chapter in Danish history, little-known to general public, and presents it engagingly. The direction, acting and production are all top notch and worthy of the Oscar nod from the American Academy.… Expand
Mar 25, 2014Can't get enough of Mads Mikkelsen, who was so riveting in Oscar-nominated "The Hunt" (2013) and so riveting here as well. This was a nicely told period piece that may bring a couple of others to mind at times -- "Marie Antoinette" in the young queen's situation; "Amadeus" with the somewhat crazy young king and the palace treachery. Danish history probably isn't high on everyone's list, but this was an interesting film.… Expand
Dec 31, 2013A historical lesson from a period drama about the age of the Enlightenment in Denmark, a national revolution conducted by a German foreigner Dr. Johann Struensee (Mikkelsen) and his romantic involvement with Caroline Mathilde (Vikander), the Queen of King Christian VII (Boe Følsgaard), another exemplar of how arranged marriage really sucks!
A ROYAL AFFAIR is an Oscar BEST FOREIGN PICTURE nominee, a sumptuous production (art direction, costume etc.) for the eyes and an irresistible bait for period fanatics (count me in). Intriguingly, it is not a conventional love triangle since there is no love at all between Caroline and Christian from the very first sight, once Caroline bears their son and fulfills her obligation as a Queen, their connubiality is only a token guise while Caroline and Johann are the star-crossed lovers, but their romantic rapport surprisingly has been outshone by Christian's devout friendship towards Johann, it is a territory many historical pictures dare not to explore, Christian is a one-of-a-kind character, a mad king or a spoiled child, his mentality is so capricious and unpredictable (maybe thanks to the excessive masturbation), thus whenever he is on screen, the attention all turns to him, even an actor as excellent as Mikkelsen cannot turn back the tide, and the newcomer Boe Følsgaard owns the character out-and-out. He is a lonely king in desperate need of a true friend and when he finds Johann, their mutual interest in theatre connects resoundingly and from then on, Christian confides his unconditional obedience to Johann, allows him to govern the country and execute the avant-garde revolution against all odds, even Caroline, when he finally finds out their adultery, is expendable in trade of maintaining the status quo with Johann (it is hard not to divine maybe there is something more than friendship lies beneath the surface).
But their immature reformation is intrinsically ephemeral, Johann is not a qualified politician as his overhasty actions boomerang, he loses his allies easily, what's more fatal is the scandal puts him against the whole nation (having an affair and even a daughter with the Queen), and gives his rivals a too-grand opportunity to annihilate him, his only chance is Christian, but at this moment, who is just a puppet king completely beaten up. Mikkelsen is exceedingly captivating in the final scenes when he realizes his doom is inevitable, he gives incredible nuances as a man's ultimate fear when death awaits mercilessly. Internationally acclaimed Dyrholm and Dencik (if one can recall their idiosyncratic collaboration in A SOAP 2006, 8/10) are cast as the King's stepmother and her conservative aide, not too much screen time though but Dyrholm eludes a more accessible intensity instead of the corny evil stepmother default.
Anyhow, the film is a delight output from Denmark, a tinge protracted one may complain and the powerlessness to witness goodwill goes to perish is also disheartening, but as a fine piece of art, defects cannot obscure the splendor and the virtues.… Expand
Jan 1, 2013This is based on the true story of a love triangle (King Christian VII, his queen and his doctor) and the changes they brought to Denmark in the age of Enlightenment. The plot unfolds predictably with able performances and gorgeous period richness (esp. the costumes). It's told in classic historical style with mild passion, intrigue and drama, but nothing about it is special. If you like this sort of thing, you'll find it solid historical drama.… Expand

Definite lack of waves early with a small NE swell. Wind is north already leaving the northern corners with the cleanest conditions. Wind will swing NE and strengthen mid morning. Northern corners are pretty small on the higher tide ideally suited to the micro grommet. The waves should slowly pick up during the day but so will the wind and even the northern corners will be a little messy in the afternoon.

Tomorrow's Surf Forecast
@ 8 sec
Marine Outlook
A stationary high pressure system over the northern Tasman Sea extends a ridge
towards the Queensland coast, directing generally northerly winds across
eastern New South Wales. A trough, currently over western and southeastern New
South Wales, will bring a southerly change to southern and central parts of the
coast during today, decaying as it reaches the north early Saturday. This will
facilitate a return to northerly winds as the high again becomes dominant,
before another weak trough and southerly change affect the south on Sunday. A
more substantial southerly change appears likely with the arrival of a cold
front early next week.
Strong Wind Warning
Winds: Northerly 20 to 30 knots.
Seas: 2 to 3 metres.
Swell: Southerly 1 to 1.5 metres, tending east to northeasterly 1 to 1.5 metres during the morning. Weather: Mostly sunny morning. 20% chance of a shower during this afternoon and early evening. The chance of a thunderstorm during this afternoon and early evening.
