A pair of intriguing matchups has been added to August's UFC Fight Night 49 events, as Demian Maia faces Mike Pyle, and Thales Leites meets Francis Carmont.
UFC officials today announced the new matchups for the card, which takes place Aug. 23 at BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla. The bout order for the card has yet to be revealed, but the evening's main card will air on FOX Sports 1.
Maia (19-6 MMA, 13-6 UFC) fights for the 20th time under the UFC banner. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist reached the top of the promotion's middleweight division in 2010, when he suffered a decision loss to Anderson Silva in a failed bid for the 185-pound title. In 2012, he dropped to 170 pounds, where he picked up three big wins before suffering through a two-fight losing streak. Most recently, he snapped that skid with a May victory over promotional newcomer Alexander Yakovlev.
Meanwhile, Pyle (26-9-1 MMA, 9-4 UFC) fights for the first time since a February win over T.J. Waldburger. The 38-year-old veteran of the UFC, Strikeforce, Affliction, EliteXC and IFL, among others, is enjoying one of the best stretches of his 15-year career, as he's currently 5-1 in his past six fights with the lone loss in that stretch coming to top contender Matt Brown.

JAY — A Delaware County woman charged with multiple counts of child abuse — including not seeking treatment when her children were injured by pet monkeys — was not a state-recognized foster parent, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Human Services said Monday.
Oklahoma woman charged in child abuse not recognized as state foster parent
Deidre Anne Matthews, 46, of Jay, is charged in Delaware County District Court with three counts of child abuse by injury, child endangerment and child neglect. She was being held in jail Monday in lieu of $100,000 bail.
"The public perception is that DHS placed these children with them," DHS spokeswoman Sheree Powell said. "These children were not placed in the home by DHS."
The children living with Matthews were eight girls ranging in age from 4 to 17 years old and a 10-year-old boy, authorities said.
Powell said Jerry and Deidre Matthews were foster parents from 2003-06. The couple is now separated, Delaware County authorities said.
"She is not a foster parent through the state agency," Powell said.
Deidre Matthews is the adoptive mother of the 17-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl, according to a court affidavit.
Dressed in orange jail clothes, Deidre Matthews appeared in court on Monday by a closed-circuit camera and asked for a public defender.
Charges woman faces
She is accused of failing to seek medical attention for the two teen daughters, who were bitten by a monkey several times; failing to protect one child from assaults by another child; driving under the influence of medication; and failing to provide proper care for the nine children, according to court records.

Apple Doesn't Know If Swift Will Be Open-Source Or Cross-Platform
Published on 11 June 2014 08:07 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
53 Comments
At Apple's recent WWDC event besides
announcing a new 3D graphics API
, Apple also announced Swift, a new programming. However, Apple developers don't yet know -- or can't admit -- whether Swift will ultimately be open-source or made to be cross-platform.
Swift is destined to replace Objective-C while still being able to interface with Objective-C/Objective-C++ code-bases. Swift was designed around the LLVM compiler stack while is now available to Apple developers with the Xcode 6 beta. While LLVM is open-source and cross-platform, there's no clear communication that Apple will support such with its new programming language.
Chris Lattner, the founder of LLVM and the one that began developing the Swift programming language in 2010, responded on the
Clang mailing list
last week, "We don't have anything to say about that at this point [whether Swift will work on non-Mac computers], but you can read all about swift, for free, with the new Swift iBook."
Apple posted this week about job openings on the Swift compiler team. The Apple employee posting the job notice, Ted Kremenek, was asked whether Swift would be open-source. Kremenek
, "At this time, we honestly don't know the answer yet to that question."

I have a question about the recipe "Fennel and Onion Galette with Gruyere Crust" from starting in december. Do you bake the galette directly on the oven rack (on the parchment)? or on a baking sheet? pizza stone?
Check out steps 4 and 5 -- you roll the dough out on floured parchment on a baking sheet, chill it for 15-20 minutes, then fill and bake it. It doesn't doesn't sound like a pizza stone enters the equation. Good luck!

Come April, I've found a Travel Writing Workshop in Denver. It's run by the non-profit Lighthouse Writers and their faculty is impressive. When my traveling gets me to Colorado, I'll update this post with what I learn over the four week course.
In the meantime, I'll post my opinion on the required course material The Best American Travel Writing 2013 and I'll add additional resources I find.
Notes (Will be a TOC once I've read enough)
I've been up late reading the past two nights jotting down some thoughts or notes. There are a ten names I've written down for further research (that will give me a better understanding of the book), which I'll add for you once I determine if they need to be included.
One that I'm positive does is Cartier-Bresson, who is pivotal to the anthology's curator and therefore to me as the reader. More on him in a few days.
Of particular note is the attempt of this book to bridge the gap between journalistic and artful writing. Travel writing, to truly work, needs to be a bit of both-fact mixed with wonder.
Elizabeth Gilbert says (1) there are two facts to travel writing in the intro of this book.
- There is no story in the world so marvelous that it cannot be told boringly. There is no story in the world so boring that it cannot be told marvelously.
- There is no story in the world so boring that it cannot be told marvelously.

Whites attract the wrath of Zimbabwe's leaders
Thursday 06 April 1995
Mr Mugabe told a rally in Chinhoyi, 60 miles from the capital, that whites were establishing litist, racist clubs to keep out blacks. He threatened unspecified action. His Zanu-PF party, which has been in power since independence in 1980, is certain to win the election.
Mr Nkomo said the government would take stern action against any whites who failed to toe the line after the election. He accused them of lack of respect for state structures and of forming exclusive "governments" of their own to run their affairs. "If something goes wrong on a white man's farm, he will never report to government but to his association of whites only," Mr Nkomo said in the south-western town of Gwanda.
Zimbabwe's splintered opposition parties have failed to capitalise on the country's economic woes as a platform on which to fight Mr Mugabe.
"There are no economic issues at stake in this election, no awkward questions to answer as far as Zanu-PF is concerned, because the opposition is the main subject," said John Makumbe, of the political science department at the University of Zimbabwe.
Many Zimbabweans consider the elections a formality. Zanu-PF won 45 out of 120 parliamentary seats by default when the opposition failed to register candidates by the deadline last month. Some opposition candidates also dropped out.
The opposition, with only three seats in the outgoing parliament, is expected to win at most seven from its field of 61 hopefuls; 30 independents are also running.
Twenty seats in Zimbabwe's 150-member parliament are filled by presidential appointees and 10 others by traditional chiefs.

Beside the beautiful old church
We had such a lovely time with Carolyn and Nick at Maison Bleue, which felt more like a warm and welcoming home than a b+b. This lovely couple's hospitality is genuine and generous and we loved our evenings spent by the fire with them and other guests, enjoying delicious wines of the region and lively conversation. Our room was charming and Carolyn saw to it that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Meanwhile, Nick went out of his way to cater to our diet requirements and impressed and inspired us with his tasty creations. We highly recommend Chez Maison Bleue - it is a wonderful base for exploring a beautiful part of the world.
To get to our summer home in Spain, it is a long long journey with a departure at 3.15am to get the first Eurotunnel train at 5.50am! We always try to drive the first part of the two-day journey the most miles. Thus when we wound our way to La Maison Bleue, it was a most welcomed sight to see Carolyn and Nick waiting outside for us. Their home was lovely and the room for us and the "girls" was large and comfortable. Very nice touches were added, such as bath gel etc, so if one was flying by my mate, Mr RyanAir, they didn't have to worry about cramming that little bit extra into their bag. We had dinner there that evening and Nick has a very deft hand in the kitchen. The meal was superb, the wine delicious, the Danish couple a delight to converse with - magic! The Languedoc-Roussillon is magnificent and I would highly recommend to anyone to stay at La Maison Bleue to start and end their journey. Thank you, Carolyn and Nick for making our overnight stay so comfortable.
This host has 47 reviews for other properties.
We have owned our house in the South of France for 6 years during which time we have carefully restored and transformed it into comfortable, stylish accommodation that retains its long French history and character. We offer a choice of self-contained 3 bedroom cottage or chambres d'hotes. We are informal, but attentive hosts and can offer you more than a glimpse of French culture in this unspoilt region of Languedoc.
Nick is cordon bleu trained but doesn't mess with the food too much - it just doesn't need it. Vegetables are grown organically on our potager, other produce is purchased fresh and local, organic where possible. Menus reflect the seasons and the sun-drenched flavours of Languedoc washed down with some very nice Pays d'Oc wines and Fitou and Corbiere 'appellations'.We can accommodate any special dietary requirements including vegan and gluten and dairy free.
We hope to welcome you to our very French home nestling in the foothills of the Pyrenees.

Located near Millersburg, Ohio, this sweet cottage is a mere 450 square feet. But it looks so much bigger in the pictures…. maybe it's because the homeowners follow, nay, embody the philosophy of "Live small to have it all!"
A couple named Sue & Ron live in this tiny cottage. They hand-built it themselves over a 6 year period.
Ron & Sue are old hands at tiny house living – married since 1986, the largest house they ever had was 900 square feet.
On their website, they make no bones about the fact that they are driven by years of experience, living small before it was even cool:
We are not young, idealistic dreamers, fresh out of college, thinking we can change the world.
We are old, idealistic dreamers, fresh out of youth, hoping we can change the world, but knowing at least we can share our decades of small living experiences and contribute to the conversation
Ron and Sue like to call it a "Movement Towards Rational Habitation." The concept is to live richly with only what you need – an idea that has been gaining traction for a few years now, especially since the housing market went bust in '08 and so many lost their homes to foreclosure.
The Shiny Tiny Mansion may be a mere 450 square feet but look at the delightful decor…
And it's not paired down or minimalist in any way! There are lots of nooks and crannies for storage and beloved bric-a-brac is on display throughout.
The kitchen packs a whole lot of charm and utility into a very small space:
The bathroom/laundry area is a little larger than the kitchen, but no skimping on style here:
It helps that Ron and Sue are intrinsically creative people. Ron is a furniture designer/craftsman and artist, and Sue is a writer/artist and craftswoman.
Their whimsical and fun sense of style is found on every wall.
The cozy bedroom in the loft is the kind of place you just want to nest in all winter long…
The Shiny Tiny Mansion is a shining example of living responsibly with a smaller footprint – without losing the comfort of "home".
Check out what Ron & Sue have to say on their websites:
Sue's website:
Ron's website:
It's off the market now, but this little gem was on for sale as recently as this summer for $1,199,000.
Sure it has a stellar location in Montecito, California with over and acre of property. And it even has a historic pedigree – being hand-built and originally owned by members of the Bohemian Mountain Drive Artist Colony. But $1.2 million for a brick hut?
Heck ya, look at this sweet thing!
One more little cabin for all you tiny house lovers out there.
Blue Moon Rising is actually a vacation cabin rental business in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. Their specialty is cabins built from recycled, vintage and eco-friendly materials. Several cabins are located on the lakeside lot but this cutie caught my eye – her name is "Kaya".
"Kaya" has the whole Blue Moon theme going inside and out, starting with that crescent curve over the porch.
The interior is just as blue-moon-y. There's no other way to describe it.
Walls, floor, ceiling, doors, and windows are derived from old house and barn parts.
Another project by David and Heather!
My Canadian house-loving friends in Nova Scotia have been busy little bees over the past few years. I've featured their work before here on House Crazy with their converted school house and beautiful seaside home that is now for sale. Another little side project they have been working on is the ominously named X-Permit Cabin.
The X-Permit Cabin (pictured above) is located somewhere in eastern Canada with a view of the ocean.
I can't tell you exactly where it is because I have no idea. That is classified information.
I can tell you that the code word for the location of the X-Permit Cabin is "Pirate Harbour".
So why all the precautions for this fun tiny home?
Here's the backstory….
The X-Permit Cabin was built on a salvaged trailer frame. It is self-sustainable, off grid, and built without permits because technically it is a "travel trailer".
The point of all this, as David tells us, "is to circumvent onerous permits and inspections that come with 'permanent' structures". He adds that the X-Permit Cabin is "an exercise in civics, construction and innovation".
Ever wanted to live on a house boat but not be bothered by sea-sickness? This place is the perfect solution…
Come on, be a rebel!
Listed for sale (or trade) in Kingston, Tennessee this unique take on small space living is priced at a mere $15,000.
It has 1 bathroom and 1 bed – well 2 if you count the "Amish style bunkhouse" also on the property.
The tiny galley kitchen has a propane stove and fridge, in addition to a pub table and matching bar stools.
It's tight, but efficient (it is/was a real ship after all).
And someone had fun with the décor…

Rock 'n' roll at the center
Winchester — The good times were rolling Thursday at the Winchester Active Living Center last week.
The center held a 1950s-themed party in honor of Senior Center Month. Director Ebbie Williams set the scene with special decorations, a hula hoop contest and singing and dancing courtesy of Elvis (karaoke provided by Phil "Skip" Hunter).
"I am hoping this will draw in people so they can see how much fun we have," Williams said. "It is not boring, and they won't be sitting around the house."
The party was part of the center's regular hours and schedule, which goes from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday at the center, 1001 E. Cork St. in Jim Barnett Park.
Williams wanted to give members a special treat to recognize the month. She was trying to come up with something different to attract new people and entertain regulars, and a dance party seemed to fit.
Hunter played or sang a variety of rock 'n' roll favorites, including "That's Alright," "Mustang Sally" and "Devil With a Blue Dress On."
"I probably have the most dancing group there is" out of the Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging's seven regional active living centers, Williams said. Many of her members love dancing and it is great for their health, so she tries to give them opportunities to do it regularly, if not daily.
Yvonne Woody of Winchester loves dancing, so she makes a point to be at the center when she knows there will be some going on. She has arthritis in one knee and has trouble walking, but "praise the Lord I can still dance," she said.
The best part of the event for her was the music courtesy of Hunter because she thought it was wonderful that he dressed as Elvis.
"I saw Elvis three times in Richmond, and he was so fabulous," she said. "Elvis has a special place with me."
She heard about the '50s theme and searched her clothes for something to wear. She was pleased when she found a bright square dancing skirt "so I would be in style."
A few of the participants gave nods to the era with a scarf rather than the full '50s look.
Williams really got into the spirit of the event with a red poodle skirt, scarf, sweater, bobby socks and a ponytail. She also decorated the room with old records, stars and an inflatable jukebox.
Susie Downing, 86, of Winchester, forgot all about the theme day, so she got a nice surprise when she walked in the center. When a song came on that had a good rhythm, she got up and joined — even the chicken dance.
"I don't like that one, but I love to get in the group and dance," said Downing, who has attended the center for years.
The party was fun, but each day at the center provides a structure and an opportunity to make new friends, said Stanley Fenner, 80, of Winchester. He has lived in Winchester more than three years and has been coming to the center two of those.
"It is a wonderful place to spend your time and enjoy friendships," he said.
Ella Jackson, 64, of Winchester, brought three of her friends to the party, one of whom, Mildred Gales, said she is thinking about joining. She got up and danced a few times and enjoyed watching the hula hoop contest.
Mostly, she just loves keeping busy, she said.
"Without (the center), I would probably just be sitting at home," she said.
The SAAA Aging Active Living Centers are open to anyone 60 years of age and older. The Center Director provides an eligibility assessment at enrollment. Each Active Living Center offers a wide variety of activities, trips, socialization, current events, and fellowship. Noontime meals are available on days of operation. Nutrition and health programs and screenings are presented on a regular basis.
Transportation is available at most locations for those unable to drive.
When people reach the age of many of the members, depression can be a problem, Williams said. It helps knowing there is someone they can come several days a week to dance, play cards or bingo, do puzzles or just talk to people their own age.
"A lot of seniors don't even realize we are here," she said. "By word of mouth is how it gets passed around."
Upcoming fundraiser
A hymn sing will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Friday at Macedonia United Methodist Church, Front Royal Pike (U.S. 522), south of Winchester, to benefit the SAAA's Meals on Wheels. Macedonia's Bluegrass Band, and combined Praise and Revival! bands will play. A freewill offering will be taken. Call Darlene Miller at 540-868-1707.
The Winchester Active Living Center meets from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday at the center, 1001 E. Cork St., Jim Barnett Park. For more information, call 540-662-5433.

The key word being had: The new secretary of energy, Nobel Prize-winning Steven Chu, is making waves in the policy community with his daunting comments about climate change. Chu warns that the farms of California, the nation's leading agricultural producer, could vanish by the end of this century if steps to slow global warming are not taken.
The president-elect rolled out his major energy appointments Monday, among them Nobel prize-winning physicist Steven Chu. That choice, Obama said, "should send a signal to all that my administration will value science. We will make decisions based on the facts, and we understand that facts demand bold action."

Middle East
Nato said it had drawn up plans to defend Turkey if necessary should the war in Syria spill over their border again as dozens of people were killed across the Arab nation on Tuesday.
Fighting between Syrian rebels and government forces could be heard from this Turkish border town following on from several days of clashes in the past week.
One Syrian villager said a rebel push on the town of Azmarin was expected soon.
In Damascus, rebel suicide bombers struck at an Air Force Intelligence compound used as an interrogation centre - the latest attack to bring the conflict close to president Bashar al-Assad's power base.
"Assad...is only able to stand up with crutches," Turkish prime minister Tayyip Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party.
"He will be finished when the crutches fall away."
Erdogan, reacting to six consecutive days when shells fired from Syrian soil have landed on Turkish territory, has warned Ankara will not shrink from war if forced to act.
But his government has also stressed it would be reluctant to mount any big operation on Syrian soil and then only with international support.
It was not clear whether the shells hitting Turkish territory were aimed to strike there or were due to Syrian troops overshooting as they attacked rebels to their north.
Nato secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in Brussels the 28-member military alliance hoped a way could be found to stop tensions escalating on the border.
"We have all necessary plans in place to protect and defend Turkey if necessary," he said.
Elsewhere in Syria, rebels took control of the town of Maarat al-Nuaman, which lies on the main north-south highway in the northern province of Idlib, after a 48-hour battle with soldiers, according to rebels and activists.
Video sent to Reuters, which activists said was filmed in Maarat al-Nuaman on Monday, showed dozens of fighters on a main street.
Other footage purported to show fighters taking over a prison and army-held buildings in the town.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the violence, said 90 people had been killed so far on Tuesday, including 29 soldiers, compared to a death toll of 210 on Monday.
Activists estimated more than 100 dead or wounded in the bombing of the intelligence compound in Damascus.
The militant Islamist group al-Nusra Front said it had mounted the attack because the base was used a centre for torture and repression.
"Big shockwaves shattered windows and destroyed shop facades. It felt as if a bomb exploded inside every house in the area," said one resident of the suburb of Harasta, where the compound was located.
The sharp rise in casualties in the past month indicates the growing intensity of the war, which developed from peaceful protests against Assad in March 2011 into a full-scale civil war.
An estimated 30,000 people have been killed as main cities such as Aleppo, Homs and the capital itself are savagely contested.
UN special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi will go to Syria soon to try to persuade the Assad government to call an immediate ceasefire.
In the border area, there was no sign of any breakthrough by either side though activists said rebels killed at least 40 soldiers on Saturday in a 12-hour battle to take the village of Khirbet al-Joz.
Just outside Hacipasa, nestled among olive groves in Turkey's Hatay province, the sound of mortar fire could be heard every 10 to 15 minutes on Tuesday from around the Syrian town of Azmarin. A Syrian helicopter flew over the border.
Villagers used ropes and boats to ferry the wounded across a river into Turkey.
Rebels with AK-47s slung over their shoulders carried a Free Syrian Army officer down to the river bank on the Syrian side, using a carpet and two poles as a makeshift stretcher.
He had been shot in the chest and had a chest drain and drip attached.
The rebels said they had dealt with roughly 20 wounded people and two dead on Tuesday.
The seriously wounded are ferried across to Turkey, while those less severely hurt are patched up at a makeshift first aid centre on the river bank and sent back into Syria.
Musana Barakat, 46, an Azmarin resident who makes frequent trips between the two countries, pointed at plumes of smoke in the distance and said Assad's troops were burning houses there.
"There are rebels hiding in and around the town and they are going to make a push tonight to drive Assad's forces out," he said, a Syrian passport sticking out of his shirt pocket.
A crowd gathered around a saloon car, the blood-stained body of a man who had been pulled wounded from the fighting slumped across its back seat.
Those with him said he had been rescued alive but died after being brought over the border.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul said on Monday the "worst-case scenarios" were now playing out in Syria and Turkey would do everything necessary to protect itself.
Gul and Erdogan, in seeking Western and Arab support, have repeatedly warned of the dangers of fighting in Syria spilling over into a sectarian war engulfing the entire region.
Turkey's chief of general staff, General Necdet Ozel, flew by helicopter to several bases in Hatay province on Tuesday, part of Turkey's 900km border with Syria.
The shelling of the Turkish town of Akcakale last Wednesday, which killed five civilians, marked a sharp escalation.
Turkey has been responding in kind since then to gunfire or mortar bombs flying over the border and has bolstered its military presence along the frontier.
"We are living in constant fear. The mortar sounds have really picked up since this morning. The children are really frightened," said Hali Nacioglu, 43, a farmer from the village of Yolazikoy near Hacipasa.
Unlike the flat terrain around Akcakale, the border area in Hatay is marked by rolling hills with heavy vegetation.
Syrian towns and villages, including Azmarin, are clearly visible just a few kilometers away.
"It's only right that Turkey should respond if it gets fired on but we really don't want war to break out. We want this to finish as soon as possible," said Abidin Tunc, 49, a tobacco farmer also from Yolazikoy.
Turkey was once an ally of Assad but turned against him after his violent response to the uprising.
It has nearly 100,000 Syrian refugees in camps on its territory, has given sanctuary to rebel leaders and has led calls for Assad to quit.

How Brown could still be laughing all the way back to Downing Street
The polls suggest that the Prime Minister is doomed. So what can he do to turn it around? We asked the experts
Go for the economy
Peter Kellner, President, YouGov polling organisation
Principally, Gordon Brown has got to win the economic argument. Labour was miles behind when the country went into recession. It started to close the gap, and almost drew level on the argument about who was the more competent to run the economy, but the gap has widened since the Budget. Really it's all summed up in the old saying "It's the economy, stupid", but that adage is doubly true in today's financial climate. In the last three elections, the economy was one issue among others, but this time it is absolutely predominant. Labour have got to deprive the Tories of their reputation for economic competence.
On national insurance, they need to persuade people that the Conservatives' sums do not add up. And one thing they need is more third-party endorsements. Last week, they were doubly damaged – first when the Conservatives announced that they would reverse Labour's proposed increase in national insurance, and then when that was followed by endorsements for the Conservatives by business leaders. So far I have not heard any third-party endorsement for Labour except from business leaders already associated with the party, such as Alan Sugar.
Stick to your guns
Lance Price, Commentator and former Downing Street spin doctor
There is no point in Gordon Brown trying to reinvent himself, or the Labour Party, at this late stage. What people think about Gordon Brown is already factored into their voting intentions, and if he tries to be anyone other than who he is, that will come across as phoney.
They have got to convince people that Labour values remain the same, and that those values are still relevant, and they have got to campaign remorselessly on the economy. They must convince people that Labour understands the need to carry on supporting the economy until it is safe to start addressing the deficit head on.
They cannot back down from the position they have taken on national insurance, which has been a superficial vote winner for the Conservatives, but if Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling remain focused, and don't zig zag, they should be able to undermine the credibility of George Osborne as someone who does zig zag and is without the experience – or the conviction, or the understanding of the economy – that is required of a Chancellor.
Target the banks
Neal Lawson, Chairman, Compass, left-wing pressure group
People want policies that will make a difference to their lives. Gordon Brown will go into the election with Labour trailing the Tories by around 10 per cent. Election campaigns rarely change such leads, unless the party trailing does something to completely change the terms of debate for the campaign. These are tough times caused by irresponsibility at the top of big corporations. Labour should promise to make the banks safe by separating investment banks from services banks. They should introduce a "Tobin tax" on bank transactions, set up a high-pay commission to tackle excessive pay, cap interest rates on unsecured loans, increase the minimum wage, and close the gender pay gap. They should promise to holding a binding referendum on electoral reform, scrap Trident and use the money saved to provide specialised health cover and affordable housing for service personnel, tax junk mail, ban advertising aimed at children, replace student top-up fees with a graduate tax, and renationalise the railways. There is nothing for Labour to be scared of. It will be timidity not bravery that will stop Labour beating the Tories.
Show some humility
Claire Rayner, Agony aunt
I am on the Prime Minister's commission for mid-wifery and have met Gordon Brown several times. He looks tired – well, he is entitled to be that – but he was always sensible. I have got a lot of time for him.
Politics now is like a maelstrom. You don't know where you are. In some ways that is huge fun, but it can be like watching idiots fighting.
I used to support Labour. I never stopped being Labour; it just stopped being me, if you follow me. It was after they won that huge majority in 1997, and Tony Blair turned himself into a demigod. So I think Gordon Brown should be a bit humble. He should make overtures to the Liberal Democrats, because my dream team would be Brown in No 10 and Vince Cable in No 11. I think Gordon Brown should be absolutely straightforward. I don't think he should respond to silly attacks, but should stand stand firm for what he is and what he believes in.
Relax on TV
Robert Worcester, Founder, MORI polling organisation
We still haven't heard the end of the distillation of people's thoughts in the City about the Budget. If the City believes that Brown, and particularly Darling, have got something going for them, they could think that it is better to hang onto Labour.
The next big hurdle is 15 April, the first set of television debates. David Cameron is expected to do brilliantly; Gordon Brown is expected to do badly. So Cameron has a lot to lose. It's up to him to lose the debate and if Brown relaxes, is as witty and quick and doesn't come down with a clunking fist, if he can play that game through four and a half hours of debate, he'll do very well – and that could make the difference.
Finally there are the turnouts, and that's the big thing for Labour. They need to get their troops out. At 75 per cent, Labour would have a majority. Now we had 75 per cent turnout, plus or minus 3 per cent, between 1945 and 1992.
Highlight Tory cuts
Justin Fisher, Professor of Political Science at Brunel University
One of the things that damaged the Conservatives initially in January, when they were in a very strong position, was their proposal to make severe cuts fairly shortly after the election. This helped spark the Labour revival. The thing for Labour to do would be to talk about cuts that most people would feel. Cuts to universities, for example, would only affect those working for and at universities. Cuts in schools and healthcare-spending are the sorts of things that might spark more interest.
For the Conservatives it's an uphill task now. They have weathered the storm recently without doing a great deal. The next month will concentrate the mind. Up to now, the Conservatives have been very good at not putting their foot in it too badly.
We will have to see how the Chris Grayling saga plays out. If David Cameron sacks the shadow Home Secretary, the Tories will sink into turmoil. The best that Cameron can do is to distance himself from Grayling.
