Matt Freeman has played bass in some ridiculous number of rock 'n' roll outfits over the years. One of my old bandmates introduced me to him way back when outside Berkeley's famed punk clubhouse 924 Gilman Street. That was in the pre-Rancid days, and I'd recently scored a fun little 7-inch vinyl record of Freeman playing bass with Kamala and the Karnivores. (I still have it somewhere.) He'd also played in the Dance Hall Crashers, Downfall, and various other acts he helped put together. But his real street cred came with his "former" status in Operation Ivy, a band on the Gilman scene that was the first to combine ska and punk rock into a high-intensity sound that spawned thousands of imitators. Even after the band split up, the now-defunct Lookout Records sold enough copies of Energy, Op Ivy's one and only full-length, that its members were able to quit their day jobs.
Rancid—formed a few years later by Freeman and Op Ivy guitarist Tim "Lint" Armstrong, and joined by guitarist Lars Fredericksen and lefty drummer Brett Reed—picked up where Op Ivy had left off. They recorded a series of successful albums on Epitaph records and toured relentlessly, indulging in various side projects when they grew restless. During a Rancid hiatus in 2004, Freeman also did a temporary stint with the seminal Southern California punk band Social Distortion. The boys have since grown into middle-aged men, but Rancid plays on, and Freeman has a new album out with Devil's Brigade, his psychobilly side project with Armstrong and drummer DJ Bonebrake from X—one of my favorite bands of all time. Last month, just prior to the CD's release on Epitaph, Freeman was kind enough to reply to a few questions about his own listening preferences, aging gracefully, and the TV series Breaking Bad.

We're coming tragically late to this party...but witness an all-star cavalcade of celeb comics making the case against gay military service on Funny or Die. We here at MoJo can't decide which we like better: Sarah Silverman on ballerinas or Weird Al Yankovic wearing Axe body spray or "What's next: unicorns wearing capri pants?"
But wait, there's a Part II:
G.A.Y.S. (Guys Against You Serving) from Thomas Lennon with Sarah Silverman, John Cho, Dave Holmes, Alex Fernie, Craig Robinson, Kate Walsh, Ben Garant, Seth, Chad Carter, and Weird Al Yankovic.

Framed by the woods of Golden Gate Park during San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile takes the stage alongside his band, Punch Brothers, and booming-voiced roots-rocker T-Bone Burnett. The group commences its string-laden crawl, a tense predecessor of the explosive plucking that will soon ensue. The rest of his mates stay still during the intro, but Thile can't take it any longer. He begins to prowl around like Puck on a midnight ramble, his body gyrating with his mandolin notes and a mischievous smile making its way across his face.
Though he's approaching 30, Thile's constant motion reminds me of an inexhaustible puppy. He named his band after the Mark Twain story "Punch, Brothers, Punch," sings about seafaring and barroom carousal, and spends late nights with bandmates throwing back drinks in Brooklyn. His latest album, Antifogmatic, takes its title from a 19th century drink meant to stave off the effects of stormy weather. As his tune "Rye Whiskey" might suggest, single-barrel whiskey is Thile's first choice. "I love it. I really do. That song is completely true, in all ways," he tells me earnestly. On top of all their revelry, what the Punch Brothers are doing musically blows the pants off most of their contemporaries. Thile and his Brothers have bridged classical and bluegrass traditions, melded them with pop-infused songwriting, and come up with a sound both experimental and tightly woven.

Last week, I posted the first part of my interview with South African rave-rappers Die Antwoord, which means "the answer." Talented and profane, Ninja (né Waddy Jones) and Yo-Landi Vi$$er—who have a daughter together, although they aren't a couple—have concocted a surreal musical chemistry, tag-teaming in a hypercharged mix of English, Afrikaans, and even tribal languages.
They were largely unknown outside of South Africa until this past February, when their video for "Enter the Ninja" suddenly went viral. This launched a bidding war that culminated in a record deal and the release, this week, of $O$, their much-anticipated debut on Interscope. In the first part of our interview, which you should read, Ninja discusses the record deal and the story behind the group's startling new "Evil Boy" video. In part two, I talked to Ninja and Yo-Landi about the meaning of zef, the documentary that changed their lives, and why they plan to kill Die Antwoord after five albums.
Mother Jones: You guys like to say that you represent South African culture. How do you view that culture?
Ninja: We like to absorb all the different elements of South Africa that we find interesting and attractive and unique. We're like sponges. There's things about the Xhosa culture that we love, and we love things about the Afrikaans culture; that's very amusing and interesting to us. And then there's the colored culture, which is a whole other thing.
MJ: That's mixed-race?
N: Ja. They refer to themselves as coloreds, not "blacks." The PC-version people try and promote this image of South Africa as a rainbow nation and make it all like pretty and stuff. But it's actually like this fokked-up, kind of broken fruit salad. 'Cause all those things don't mix that well together in the real world. But for us it does mix. That's why we say it's, like, "fokked into one person." 'Cause that's how we feel on a certain level. Like we absorb all these things, but they're not harmoniously flowing together through the air in this pretty rainbow picture.

I've never held, owned, or even seen a real gun in person, save for the time one was pointed at me and my mom during a drive-by robbery when I was about six years old. So when I saw copies of The Politically Corrected Glossary at the 25th annual Gun Rights Policy Conference, I'll admit I got nervous. Here's an excerpt of the entry that did it:
Gun Bigot: A person who hates guns. Typically has little or no knowledge of guns, may never have even fired one, certainly doesn't have any. Would gladly subject innocent people to defenselessness. An elitist.

It goes on, but here's the kicker:
Striking similarity and disturbing parallels with the racial bigotry of the civil rights efforts since the 1960s.
Striking similarity and disturbing parallels with the racial bigotry of the civil rights efforts since the 1960s.
What's up with everyone from Glenn Beck to the anti-gun regulation fold trying to appropriate the Black Civil Rights movement for their ends? Alan Gottlieb, the head of the organization that built the conference, at one point said "if the gun rights movement is going to be successful it has to model itself after the Civil Rights movement." Later at the conference, John Lott, the author of More Guns, Less Crime, argued that gun regulations are discriminatory because they prevent "poor black people" from being able to arm themselves.

In 1923, famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright completed one of his most ambitious projects to date: The glamorous Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. Months later, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake hit Tokyo and the neighboring industrial city of Yokohama, leveling much of their business and manufacturing centers and killing an estimated 100,000 people in the process. Newspapers initially reported that Wright's hotel was among the countless buildings destroyed by the quake. Then Wright received this telegram from hotel president Baron Okura: "Hotel stands undamaged as a monument to your genius."
The Imperial Hotel survived, at least in part, because Wright had built it with a shallow foundation designed to "float" on the soft mud below. This minimized the influence the shaking ground had on the building. Wright's design exploited the idea that systems as a whole are better at withstanding shocks and adapting to changes when their individual parts—call them modules—are largely independent of one another. This modularity is found everywhere in nature, from organs in the body to neurons in the brain, and even—as new research suggests—in the economies of the world.

Can you survey the entire cultural and economic history of the 20th century's last half in one 16-minute film? That's director Simon Robson's short term goal for the video "Coalition of the Willing," now up for an animation award at Saturday's Vimeo Festival in New York. His long term goal is even more ambitious: Unite people around the world in "an internet-based swarm offensive aimed at triggering a 21st century culture shift." But although Robson may be trying to incite utopia, he self-identifies as a cynic. "It sounds bleak, but as we say at the beginning of the film, industry is ruled by profit, and governments by growth." Fed up with leaders' unwillingness (or inability) to enact climate change policy, Robson and his writing partner, Tim Rayner, started toying with the idea that leaders weren't going to do anything at all, and that collective power modeled after the social revolutions of the past would have to do instead. An invocation, in the form of a script, emerged. To illustrate the message of the film, Robson employed stunning visuals by 25 different animators. The resulting patchwork of contrasting artistic styles, animated by a diverse panoply of materials—from clay to fruit to ink—effectively paints the film's collaborative calling.
After "Coalition" was released in June, it garnered attention from the likes of MTV Europe, the Guardian's environmental page, and even Ashton Kutcher (who tweeted about the film, much to Robson's joy). It also spawned an organization, CoalitionoftheWilling.org. The organization's latest project is a flash mob development party, meant to inspire people to submit ideas for "a new generation of internet platforms for the climate crisis."
Mother Jones spoke with Robson recently on the intersection of environment, art, and technology.

Please Do Not Display Weapons: "In consideration of other guests and staff please do not openly display weapons. While in your guest room, all weapons must be concealed." —Hyatt Regency sign at the Gun Rights Policy Conference in Burlingame, California.
Steve Goode is the fourth man in the hotel who offers to take me to a gun range. At 63, the mostly deaf National Rifle Association instructor wears high-powered digital hearing aids and owns a low-powered shotgun he uses for trap-shooting. Fortunately, "you don't need to hear to shoot," he tells me at this year's Gun Rights Policy Conference in Burlingame, California. Like the other white, male boomers crammed into a Hyatt ballroom one recent weekend, Goode registered for the two-day-long event (with added poolside reception!) because he's riled by handgun regulations cropping up in states across the US—especially in Illinois, where he lives. The waiting periods to get a gun permit, the training, the registration, the background checks, the restrictions on where, how, and which firearm and ammo he can use—all these not only threaten his hobby but his ability to defend himself, he says—and he's becoming more politically active this fall as a result.
He's one of 760 pro-gun, anti-regulations travelers here to learn about everything from how to win a legislative gun debate—"THEY win if you say 'pro gun.' YOU win if you say 'pro rights,'' instructs "The Politically Corrected Glossary" handout (PDF)—to why he should distrust the United Nations, to the legal strategies he can successfully use to carry concealed handguns in public parks, college campuses, and public housing. Among the 50-plus speakers on the lineup are the lead counsel in the Chicago Supreme Court case, the director of Doctors For Responsible Gun Ownership, the heads of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, and pro-gun professors, authors, and journalists. On the "Diversity Among Pro-Gunners" panel, Nikki Stallard—the transgender representative of Pink Pistols, an LGBT-led advocacy group for carrying concealed weapons in public places—announces at the podium:"We have an interest in getting the gay community more pro-gun." If LGBTs become the face of concealed weapons rights, Stallard surmises, media attacks on the pro-gun lobby "will come across as attacking the gay community." Her suggestion is met with roaring cheers.
Several speakers encourage recruiting gay people, women, and minorities into the pro-gun, anti-regulations fold. "People who are the most vulnerable in society benefit the most from having the option to be able to protect themselves," John Lott, the author of More Guns, Less Crime, says. He adds that women, the elderly, and "poor blacks who live in high crime areas" are disproportionately deterred from getting firepower when waiting periods are extended and fees rise. I'm not convinced. The crux of the conference remains rolling back gun restrictions. As Bob, a 51-year-old NRA instructor from Redwood City and a gun owner since he was in high school, tells me during our boxed-lunch recess: "There's no such thing as reasonable regulations when it comes to firearms. The less the government's involved in gun control the better I feel."
After inviting me shooting, Jeff Knox—a gun owner for 25 years and the director of The Firearms Coalition—tells me that to understand the anti-gun regulation crowd, I have to understand gun culture. "Shooting is something that a lot of guys really love, with the same fervor that you find among golfers, fisherman, and football fanatics. Imagine what would happen if somebody wanted to ban football in the United States!"
"There's also that fundamental liberty core of self-defense," Knox adds. "Let's face it, the bumper stickers are true. In a life or death situation, seconds count, and the police are only minutes away. And that's what it boils down to. If I feel that I have a right to protect my family, who has a right to tell me that I don't?"
But defense from what, I ask him? According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, violent crimes in the US are actually declining nationwide—and the offenders are more often friends and acquaintances (PDF), not strangers busting through women's home windows like the She's the face of the gun rights conference billboards seen around San Francisco.: Second Amendment Foundationbillboard advertisements for the conference inaccurately display. Add that to Department of Justice data (PDF) showing that most violent crime victims are black, males, age 24 years or younger, and the mostly white, suburban men at this particular gun rights conference are probably safer than they feel. No matter, says Knox. "I don't have guns because I'm afraid. I carry a gun so that I don't ever have to be afraid," adding that even a wee possibility of an assault gaurantees his right to carry. Which is true. The Second Amendment grants folks the right to keep and carry arms, but what about regulations?
"Firearms are like golf," Bob from Redwood City, Phil Graf from Sonoma County, and Goode all tell me, as though they're all working from the same talking points. But golf doesn't involve the sporting equipment used in most US murders. Besides, most products that could result in dangerous mishandling or criminal activity are regulated by the government. Why should guns be the exception, I ask? "Well, things that are protected by the Constitution shouldn't be so heavily regulated by the government," says Alan Gottlieb—the head of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) and the founder of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), the legal piranha which spearheaded this particular gun rights conference 25 years ago. "Cars can be dangerous, but they're not in the Constitution."
Both Knox and Gottlieb accurately point out that most firearm-related crimes are committed by repeat offenders, not law-abiding citizens. And felons are already barred by federal law from receiving gun permits. Murders, as a result, usually involve once-legal handguns acquired in the black market, not guns shot by their permitted user. As a result, Knox contends of the gun regulations in place: "All they're effective at doing is making it more difficult for me to exercise my rights. Gun control is all aimed at law abiding citizens, and it has no effect on the criminal." Because they haven't committed crimes, the speakers posit, they're immune to committing the crimes that gun regulations are positioned to prevent, not to mention inconvenienced. This faulty logic is endemic here at the conference.
"Rape is illegal, murder is illegal, robbery is illegal. So if you make it illegal for the criminal to get a gun, does he really care?" Gottlieb asks me. "What happens is that gun control spends all of our resources tracking and regulating the 99 percent of people with guns who don't commit a crime, and the 1 percent who commit the crime we don't do anything about."
I factchecked this, and the answer is: Not exactly. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found that states with tougher gun laws in fact export the guns used in crimes (PDF) at a much lower rate than states with weak gun laws. That is, those illegal guns handled by criminals and confiscated at crime scenes are most often traced back to states that don't do background checks for all guns purchased at gun shows [CLICK HERE FOR MOJO'S ARTICLE ON GUN SHOWS], that don't require purchase permits, that don't prosecute gun dealers who violate background check laws, and that don't allow local law enforcement to approve or deny conceal carry permits. Findings confirm that regulations do deter criminals from getting guns.
A decade ago, the Los Angeles Times published an investigative report exposing that lax background checks in Texas had resulted in 400 convicted felons receiving concealed-handgun permits. And more than 3,000 concealed-handgun licensees had been arrested after receiving their permits. The report led Democratic Sen. Carl Levin (Michigan) to issue this response: "Law abiding citizens, armed with concealed weapons, are too often turning what would otherwise be unpleasant but not catastrophic events, such as fender-benders and commuting hassles, into tragedies."
Knox doesn't buy it. He says things like, "I've never used my gun or drawn it in anger," and, "The gun in my house doesn't increase the odds of a firearms crime occuring in my house because I'm not a criminal, my family aren't criminals, and we're not people who commit crimes." [CLICK HERE FOR MOJO'S EXPOSE ON THE NRA'S FAMILY VALUES CAMPAIGN.]
This thought process has led one of the conference's biggest sponsors, the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) to successfully lobby against bills requiring all rifles and shotguns to be registered with the state's Department of Justice. The CRPA has also helped defeat a proposed ban on carrying unloaded handguns in public (licensed hunters would have been exempt). And it helped ensure that more misdemeanors won't be added to the list that prohibits firearms possession for ten years. Now the group has its sights on AB 962, which takes effect February of next year. That bill outlaws mail-order ammunition sales and requires that people purchasing ammunition are fingerprinted and registered at the time of sale so that the California Department of Justice can inspect the records for at least five years. The CRPA's dubbed the bill (PDF) an unnecessary burden for ammunition retailers, potential law-abiding buyers, and law enforcement. Knox says "Registration leads to confiscation." If the government knows about his weapons, it can take them away.
I ask Gottlieb if he thinks some middle ground can be achieved in the guns and regulations debate. "If you want to deny or restrict a person's rights or freedom, our people aren't going to be in on that. That's why this issue isn't ever going away."
In the meantime, Knox says: "I just want to have my guns."

Prior to February, Afrikaner "zef" rappers Die Antwoord were virtually unknown outside of South Africa. Then, practically overnight, their video for "Enter the Ninja" became an internet sensation (nearly 8 million YouTube views to date), launching a bidding war by major labels. The most common reaction to the video may well have been, What the fok? (Read my initial reaction here.) Bumping a South African ghetto style known as zef—which is sort of like a downscale version of "bling"—rappers Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er have created an insanely weird, high-energy chemistry. They push the creative envelope with an absurdist gangsta sexuality, laden with heavy doses of profane slang in their native tongue.
Die Antwoord arrives in America next week to tour in support of $O$ (SOS), their new debut CD on Interscope, which, fittingly, is also home to Lady Gaga and Eminem. Just yesterday, Die Antwoord released the video for their song "Evil Boy." Watch it below, but make sure your boss isn't looking, because it may well be one of the most risqué music videos ever recorded. This morning, I spoke with Ninja, who was chilling with Yo-Landi at a friend's place in Johannesburg prior to the tour. In part one, we talk about Die Antwoord's roller-coaster ride, the Interscope deal, and the surprising story behind "Evil Boy." (Click here for part two of the interview.) Watch the video first, and then we'll go speak with Ninja.
Mother Jones: Hey, wat pomp? [Loosely translates as "What's happening?") Did I say that right?
Ninja: Ja, you said it so good! It's the best American pronunciation of it ever!
MJ: I've been checking out the "Evil Boy" video. I mean, man! It makes Lady Gaga look tame. Clearly, nobody's trampling your artistic freedom.
N: Oh, no, no, no. That's why we signed with those guys. They love us.

The crowd snaked around both sides of San Francisco's Herbst Theater in a dense queue, a high-low jumble of tattoos, porkpie hats, and costly coifs. Poets laureate, ex-Ramparts editors, jazzmen and women, and the rest of a Technicolor volunteer army mustered at The City's war memorial auditorium for a single mission. They were there to plant a flag on the Beaux Arts stage for the peace infantry's longtime generalissimo: 91-year-old Beat patriarch Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Litquake eventgoers buzzed among themselves about the talent that would toast the founding father of San Francisco's cultural and political scene. "Bzz bzz bzz Patti Smith!" one velvety blonde said to her leather-clad beau. "Mrr mrr mrr Tom Waits!" he replied, twice as loud. Between murmurs, they busied themselves filling out a survey for the organizers. Under "Authors you would like to see at Litquake," the blonde put "Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood, John Updike," unaware or unconcerned that Updike was dead. Such was the reckless abandon, planned or unplanned, that attended much of the night's intoxicating goings-on. "We are honoring Lawrence Ferlinghetti tonight, so any impulse you have to be quiet or coy is fucked up!" host Marc Bamuthi Joseph—a national poetry slam champion—told the audience. "Throw that out the window!"
At 91, Ferlinghetti decidedly is not dead. Nor is his following among successive generations of auteurs and activists and their adherents. Thus Litquake, the Bay Area's annual literary festival, chose to honor the patriarch of Beat with its Barbary Coast Award, a sort of lifetime achievement that's previously gone to San Francisco fixtures like Amy Tan, Tobias Wolff, and Armistead Maupin. "When I first came out to San Francisco and heard the name Ferlinghetti, I thought it must be a large geographic area," Waits joked before warbling a musical version of the poet's verse onstage. "Turned out, it is."

In Up in the Air, the Oscar-nominated film currently playing to packed cinemas, George Clooney's character, a management consultant paid to fire people, asks an unfortunate target: "You know why kids love athletes?" The soon-to-be-former employee replies mournfully: "Because they screw lingerie models?"
"No," says Clooney's character, "that's why we love athletes. Kids love them because they follow their dreams."
We all love athletes and sports stars, because it brings out the inner child within us and our secret aspirations, or because we are simply envious of their lifestyles and fabulous love lives. The glamour, the money, the exotic cars, the big houses; we are all familiar with the trappings of success that have become axiomatic with sporting prowess.
And yet, despite the way we lionise our heroes, copying their haircuts and tattoos, naming our children after their children, deep down we know they have feet of clay. "Footballer plays away" is hardly news. In the 1980s, the turbulent love life of Everton and Wales goalkeeper Neville Southall was the stuff of regular terrace banter, but little more.
The serial philandering of George Best a decade before was regarded with awe rather than opprobrium. "When's the closest to kick-off you've ever been with a woman?" Best was once asked by an interviewer. "At half-time," he replied.
Admittedly, former England captain John Terry has conjured up an interesting variation on the theme by selecting a French lingerie model, Vanessa Perroncel, a former girlfriend of his (presumably) erstwhile best mate and ex-Chelsea colleague, Wayne Bridge.
But it was par for the course, not least for the 29-year-old Terry, around whose neck the sobriquet "love rat" seems destined to hang for ever. In his energetic off-field life, away from wife Toni, Terry has notched up an array of conquests – including having sex with a blonde teenager in his Bentley just hours after they met and a dalliance with a 21-year-old in a nightclub toilet even though she had a broken leg and was on crutches.
That Terry comes from a humble background, having been brought up in Barking, Essex, is significant, according to Phillip Hodson, a fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, who believes today's sports stars often cannot foresee the destructive consequences of their adultery.
"They are surrounded by honeytraps, con artists and gold diggers," Hodson said. "They are coping with all this fame, largely on their own, and it all goes to their heads, and they end up thinking Jesus Christ is an inferior. They become uninhibited and do what many of us would like to do – live to excess in a fit and healthy body."
So why the furore over the father-of-twins' latest fling, one that could cost him millions in lost sponsorship? Surely even if we don't agree with such behaviour, we have at least come to expect it?
In the US, the personal failures and peccadilloes of athletes in the NBA and the NFL are documented in merciless detail. Specialist websites recount denied paternity suits, orgies, sexual blackmail. But across the Atlantic, fans dismiss such transgressions with a shrug.
As the sportswriter John Feinstein observed in a 2006 article in the Washington Post, in the US athletes exist in a "place that we might call, for want of a better term, 'The Land of Never Wrong'." Feinstein added: "They are given second, third, fourth and 15th chances solely because of their talent. That's why so many of them come to believe that rules and laws, even rules of decent behaviour, don't apply to them."
It is only when players stop being winners that they become vulnerable. Just witness the excitement last week at erroneous rumours of Tiger Woods's return to golf: no one was asking how his heartbroken wife was coping. Our European neighbours, too, seem at a loss to understand England manager Fabio Capello's decision to sack Terry as captain.
The Italian daily Corriere della Sera, well used to tracking the extramarital antics of Silvio Berlusconi, dismisses the Terry affair as "scandalous entertainment", but there is no condemnation. In the British press there has been a more puritanical reaction, with almost universal applause greeting Capello's decision. "Capello acted with the ruthlessness required of a winner," said the Daily Express. "Grazie, Signor Capello" was the headline in the Daily Mail the morning after Terry's defenestration.
The public, however, has given a more muted response. As one contributor to fansonline.net noted, "it would hardly be the first time a footballer had had an extramarital, even an England captain."
Ellis Cashmore, professor of culture, media and sport at Staffordshire University and author of Celebrity Culture, believes Capello may rue his decision. "I thought Capello was a football guy through and through and his decision would be predicated simply on what effect this would have on the team," Cashmore said. "But he's been away having his knee fixed and his people have been saying to him, 'This is front-page stuff, you've got to take care of this'."
Cashmore said psychological studies have shown that the enmity between players off the pitch ends immediately when the whistle blows. Whether Bridge, who unlike Terry is not considered a certainty for the England team, would agree with this thesis is debatable. But Capello's decision will inevitably have consequences for his friends in the England team – and its supporters.
"When we were looking for a replacement for [David] Beckham [as captain] I favoured [Steven] Gerrard," Cashmore said. "But not any more. Terry plays like he's got the heart of a lion. Psychologically he has had a very good effect on his fellow players."
The decision to sack him was all the more curious after the captain's armband was passed to Rio Ferdinand. The Manchester United central defender has been exposed for featuring on a sex tape with team-mates, banned for drink-driving and suspended from football for eight months for forgetting a drugs test. Some have attached far more significance to this oversight than any extramarital activity on the part of Terry.
Now older, and apparently wiser, Ferdinand has pledged to learn from his mistakes. His agents will surely hope so. For footballers such as Terry and Ferdinand have become both the beneficiaries and victims of a celebrity culture that has infected sport since the mid-90s, a culture that they would be well advised to understand. "If you go back 15 years and said an England player has been accused of infidelity, football fans would have just said, 'so what?' But we are now all voyeurs in some way," Cashmore said.
The money flooding into sport, and football in particular, has turned it into an entertainment industry. Thanks to the Bosman ruling that allowed footballers free movement of labour, much of this money has ended up in the pockets of the players. Terry reportedly earns £7m a year in wages and millions more in sponsorship deals.
"We have started seeing sports stars as film or rock stars," Cashmore said. "As a result we have become more curious about their activities off the field. You can't expect to have it both ways."
What really did for Terry was not his libido but his arrogance. His attempt to use a superinjunction in the courts to stifle stories about his latest infidelity was a supreme gamble. Lawyers believed he had a convincing case, but many in the media saw it as an outrageous attempt to muzzle the press.
"He judged that if the story was to come out he would certainly lose the captaincy," said John Cooper, a barrister who edits the Encyclopedia of Data Protection and Privacy. "Tactically he had little choice. He was right to play it as he did, but he lost."
Some will argue it was not the media's job to reveal Terry's extramarital behaviour. But the player had opened himself to charges of hypocrisy after saying that he had a "blissful" family life in an interview with an upmarket property magazine. His clumsy attempts to use the law to reinforce this image backfired spectacularly as many in the media declared open season on the English lion. Reports in today's papers say Terry has paid Perroncel hundreds of thousands of pounds for her silence, while the News of the World revealed Terry is set to be named this week in a £137,000 fraud trial.
At least Terry can draw strength from the knowledge that his plight is not unique. Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole are just three England colleagues who have rehabilitated themselves after being engulfed in scandal.
"It hurts so much, but I will fight back," Terry told the Sun. But maybe next time not in the courts, hey, John?

The actor, who featured on TV show host, Rajat Sharma's 'Aap Ki Adalat' opened up about the relationship he shares with Salman and confessed that he did want to show him down in the past.
Speaking about the his relationship with Salman, SRK said, "It has gone beyond this (oneupmanship). There is no question of bowing or making him bow now. It may have been the case two-three years ago. Whether he should speak first or I should... we have become more mature now."
The actor also said that he respected Salman as an actor. "I have great respect for him, not only as a friend and as a family but as a star and as an actor. They helped me when I first came to Bollywood though I am the senior," he added.

Both Italy and Costa Rica will be looking to continue their winning form after beating England and Uruguay respectively in their first games.
LIVE: Follow the latest news from Italy v Costa Rica
The two will battle for top-spot in Group D in Recife with the winner pulling clear of the rest of the pack, however due to Uruguay's win over England, neither will be 100 per cent sure of a place in the Last 16, whatever the result.
Even England, who have lost their first two games, could still qualify should Italy win today.
Costa Rica gave the tournament its first major upset by beating Uruguay 3-1 in a shock comeback victory. Joel Campbell has been the surprise breakout player from the Central American team. The Arsenal player opened the scoring goal for Los Ticos and laid on the third goal.
However, some may point to the fact Uruguay were missing their star striker Luis Suarez from that match. It is to be seen how the Costa Rica back line hold up under the threat of a different world class striker in Mario Balotelli, who headed in the winning goal against England in Italy's opening match.
A lingering question for the Azzurri though is if Mario and Luigi will be playing together. Italy's goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon missed the England game with a sprained ankle and his future in the tournament is suspect. Paris Saint-Germain keeper Salavtore Sirigu filled in against England.
Kick-off: Friday, 5pm
Past meeting:
Italy 1 (Signorri) Costa Rica 0, Friendly, June 1994
Italy's 93 percent pass completion against England is the highest ever recorded in the World Cup since 1966.
Costa Rica has never won two consecutive games at the World Cup, but the team has scored in all of their World Cup games against European teams.
In the last round of qualifying in CONCACAF, Costa Rica conceded the least amount of goals of all the teams by only letting in 7 goals in 10 matches.
Italy has not been held scoreless in their last 15 World Cup matches. The last time they failed to convert any chances was in 1998 when they lost to France.
Italy to win: 1.53
Costa Rica to win: 7.2
Draw: 4.2

A Route of Escape
Simon stared into his glass, then slid it back over to the bartender. The large, sweaty man quickly came over, wiped the glass, and refilled it for Simon. Simon picked it up and drank once again, then finally got up and walked away. He had drank enough for one night. He didn't need to get drunk and pass out here; what he really needed was to get moving. He had collected his things from his family in town, now it was time to get as far away from here as possible. He would have to leave the country, maybe flee to America.
As he was turning to leave the bar, a clearly-groggy French man bumped into him and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen a man named Hunter? He said he wanted to meet me here."
"I don't know anyone named Hunter," Simon said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I happen to be in quite a -"
The man looked into Simon's eyes, then said seriously, "You have a look of darkness about you. You are in trouble, yes? Your figure speaks of fear, avoidance...perhaps even guilt."
"That's none of your concern, friend," Simon said, removing the man's hand from his shoulder and grabbing his belongings, moving for the door to the pub.
"Perhaps not," the man continued, "But by ze looks of your possessions, I would say your are of a... specific profession."
"And that matters to you why?"
"Because I happen to be in need of someone with your particular talents," the man said. Simon took a step back from the door, closer to the man. "I am searching for things which have been long lost to humanity. I need an armed assistant, if you would be willing to fill zat role."
Simon took one long, hard look at the man, then reached out with an open hand. "Simon Curtis," he said.
The man took his hand. "Gogant Craes. Zis is my cousin, Aurich. It is a pleasure to have you aboard."

Culprits in London ticket affair get off lightly
By Karolos Grohmann
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (Reuters) - A number of national Olympic committees (NOCs) and authorized Games ticket resellers got off with a slap on the wrist by the International Olympic Committee on Wednesday for breaching ticket rules ahead of this year's London Olympics,
A report by Britain's Sunday Times newspaper in June said that NOCs and Authorized Ticket Resellers (ATRs) representing some 54 nations had broken rules over the sale of London tickets.
The newspaper reported that numerous NOCs and ATRs were offering to buy or sell tickets outside their territories, to sell tickets at inflated prices or sell tickets to unauthorized resellers, triggering an IOC investigation.
IOC President Jacques Rogge said the Olympic charter did not allow for sanctions to be issued to individuals within NOCs who will get off with a warning.
"You can suspend it (NOC), fine it, but for reasons pertaining to legal issues we have no authority on the people themselves," Rogge told reporters after the IOC's ethics commission proposed the NOCs reprimand or warn their own people.
"We are studying if this could be changed in the ethics code," Rogge said.
The London Olympics started a little over a month later on July 27 with most sports sold out early in the ticketing process and more than a million people unsuccessful in an initial ballot last year.
One of the more high-profile officials involved in the affair is Greek Olympic Committee (HOC) chief Spyros Capralos who, according to the ethics commission, had damaged the reputation of the Olympic movement. Capralos was also caught on video in the newspaper report. Continued...

PSVITA HDMI?[ Edited ]
I saw a video of modnation racers and they where playing it on a deathgen psvita aka prototype and I thought I saw an HDMI port on the bottom of the vita
So does anyone know if the psvita has an HDMI out to connect the psvita to a TV?
Mod Edit: Thread moved from PlayStation General to the appropriate area. -SpicyGoose19
Re: PSVITA HDMI?
Re: PSVITA HDMI?
According to the current FAQ, the Vita does not have video out.
Q: Do you have any plans to introduce a video output cable? Will PS Vita have HDMI output?
A: No, PS Vita does not have a video output feature.
Which really sucks, since that means there will be no reason to support PSPgo-like DS3 connectivity for wireless big-screen gaming.
Hard to believe, but my Go will be able to do something the mighty Vita will not.
Everyone thinks I'm psychotic (except my friends deep inside the earth).
Re: PSVITA HDMI?
No the PS Vita doesn't have HDMI or some other Video out.
They didn't have it with the original PSP, but they added it with PSP 2000.
They will probably do the same when they make "Vita-2000" or something, make it slimmer, add mini HDMI.
Re: PSVITA HDMI?
no video output unless their make special parts to allow it then maybe. But for now there is none.
Re: PSVITA HDMI?
I think it is a cost issue, that HDMI isn't in the first version of the Vita. I think it will come eventually. The first version of the PSP didn't have it either...
Re: PSVITA HDMI?
I did read somewhere that the dev kit version has a HDMI port but the normal one does not. do not remember where I read it though sorry. could also be wrong, but it would make what you did see make sense.
Want a option to buy avatar's on the ps vita's psn store. Then vote on the link by copying it to your web browser.

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."

"We feel like it was a great draft. We got a lot of young players who have a shot at having outstanding careers."
"It happened very, very quickly. We felt it was appropriate. We came into the draft drafting for the best player. It had nothing to do with needs or positions, that's the philosophy this year and we felt by getting Marvell we were getting the best player, the most attractive player."
"We got some good players out of that draft... but I really don't know what else we can take out of that draft. It's not like we did anything differently than we'll do this year or we did last year."

Questioning your maker was a no no, at least according to my nana but, I had many questions, in fact, I was pissed..
Nana held my hand and in her own wise way, she calmed me.. "I don't understand, why does God allow evil like this.. why are innocent people at the mercy of degenerates and psychopaths, I don't understand.." "Honey.. it's not for you to know but, when the time is right you will find the answer.."
Another note, I sighed, put on the gloves and opened it.
Information was starting to come back on victim number four, I hadn't received the info on number five. I spread the files on my desk and slapped my forehead.. I wasn't going to get too excited yet, had to wait for the information on number five. If it wasn't there, my head would split!

To read quotes from Brown on his commitment to Iowa, Click Here.
UPDATE: To read Brown's comments to Scout.com regarding his commitment, Click Here.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Brown becomes the 16th known verbal commitment to Iowa this year, and the second running back to commit to Iowa since Corey Robertson of Texas verbally pledged to the Hawkeyes on Friday, as reported first on HawkeyeNation.com.
During his senior season, Brown rushed for 2,134 yards and 33 touchdowns on 222 carries, or an average of 9.6 yards per carry.
Brown told the Pittsburgh-Review that Iowa gave him the chance to carry the ball at the college level, where other schools wanted him for another position.
"It's a Big Ten school and they're going to give me the opportunity to play where I want to play in college, which is tailback," Brown told the Tribune-Review. "There were some other big-time schools interested in me, but they wanted me for defense."
Brown only recently received an offer from Iowa, and he told Scout.com on December 8th that he was thrilled with the offer.
"It will be tough to turn them down," said Brown, who runs the forty-yard dash in a reported 4.48 seconds. "That's an opportunity of a lifetime, I always wanted and knew I could play big time college football."
Brown hinted back on December 8th that Iowa might be his ultimate choice.
"If Iowa is what I think it will be, I may not need anymore trips." Brown said.
HawkeyeNation.com will have more on this developing story on Monday.

The 74-year-old artist Maurice Agis has been making public art projects for the past 40 years and creating dream-like confections of PVC and light for a decade.
In towns and cities across Europe, the large inflatable constructions he calls Dreamspaces have been received with enthusiasm by 250,000 visitors.
They are intended to be fun, colourful and accessible, contemporary art of a variety that anybody can enjoy. Dreamspace V was designed as a celebration of the past decade's work - "the latest and most ambitious stage of a continuously evolving public artwork".
But with two women dead and a dozen recovering from serious injuries after Sunday's tragic accident in the Riverside Park, County Durham, the dream has turned tragically sour.
The giant walk-through sculpture which tore free from its moorings, flying into the air with 30 people inside, was yesterday being examined by specialist engineers and detectives appointed to the joint investigation by Durham police and the Health and Safety Executive.
"The deflated structure, ropes and anchor pins have been taken into possession by the police," an HSE spokesman said.
As a consequence, the next leg in the interactive sculpture's three-stop tour - to Victoria Park in Hackney, east London - has been cancelled.
The artist, who witnessed the accident and tried desperately to intervene, was said to be utterly distraught. Paloma Brotons, his girlfriend, said he was "suffering terribly" and could not understand what had gone wrong.
"I saw him flying with it and I thought he was going to be killed," she told the London Evening Standard. "There was a team of us that helped to tie the structure to the ground, we even used more ropes because it was hot.
"We can't understand what's happened. Maurice is in mourning. He is in a terrible way. He is too upset to talk, I doubt he will be able to talk about this for a very long time."
Artistic experimentation with light, colour and a special musical score by American-born British-based composer Stephen Montague had proved an unexpected danger.
Yet there had been nothing in previous Dreamspaces to suggest the risk. Instead, visitors usually rhapsodised over the vast PVC cathedral, an air-filled maze of pods or rooms whose different colours played off the bib or cape each visitor wore.
Some of those who have experienced Dreamspace use the psychedelic language more akin to the Sixties to convey the sensation. "It's very womb-like and trippy. It's dreamy, a really nice vibe," one said. Previous visitors have likened the experience of walking through the labyrinth of coloured caverns to standing inside a rainbow fish.
And for those who described it as a bouncy castle, Agis was equally welcoming, relishing the interaction between ordinary members of the public and his sculpture, even though he attributes the intellectual underpinning of his work to the Constructivist and De Stijl Schools of abstraction, rather than the playground.
The Arts Council of England's decision to support the project was easy and it awarded it £60,000. A spokesman said that the application for a touring grant to help take Dreamspace V to Liverpool, Chester-le-Street and then London, had scored very highly.
He said: "Maurice Agis has a 40-year track record of doing public art work of quality. We liked what he was doing artistically. It's very accessible, very immediate, very emotional."
"He's internationally acclaimed and very successful in terms of visitor numbers. The works he's exhibited have done very well in terms of getting people to see it. It was a genuinely attractive proposition."
Agis, who was born in London in 1931, trained at St Martin's School of Art with further studies in Holland and taught for several years before turning to his art full-time.
In the Sixties, he was exhibited amid his cutting edge contemporaries at the Institute of Contemporary Art and included in shows organised by the Arts Council. Over the years, he mixed shows at the Barbican, London, or the Lincoln Centre, New York, with international commissions from Berlin, Brisbane and Los Angeles.
For 12 years he worked with fellow artist Peter Jones on award-winning installations described as "abstract walk-through spaces" which prefigured his work on Dreamspaces. He created his first solo walk-in sculpture, Colourspace, in 1980.
The first Dreamspace appeared in 1996 as a commission for Copenhagen as European city of culture and more have followed. The television illusionist Derren Brown has featured one of the constructions on his television show and one was created in 2004 as an arts education project at Haggerston Girls School in Hackney, east London.
At 2,500 square metres, about half a football pitch, in 157 ovoid cells constructed from translucent PVC sheets, Dreamspace V was the most ambitious yet. As with its predecessors, the work required visitors to remove their shoes and don a bib or cape in which to roam freely through the colourful cells.
What particularly appealed to the Arts Council about this tour was the way it would take contemporary art to people who may not otherwise see it. "Chester-le-Street has no visual arts infrastructure at all - it has no buildings, no galleries. It is a deprived area," the spokesman said.
As part of the process of awarding grants, officers always take into account issues such as public liability insurance and safety issues, he added.
Dreamspace V, had already been displayed at Liverpool Cathedral last month, where the only problem had been one of vandalism. Hours before it was due to go on show youths broke through hoardings and slashed the inflatable with knives. Emergency repairs were carried out before it opened to the public.
Whether that incident had any bearing on Sunday's accident remains to be seen, but police said that they would be exploring every avenue to get to the bottom of the tragedy.
They had no indication that the sculpture had been tampered with, but they also said they had not ruled out foul play. Chief Inspector Trevor Watson said that he was keeping an open mind.
There have been rumours that mooring ropes may have been loosened shortly before the structure left the ground. Some witnesses reported hearing loud cracks as if ropes were snapping.
But such was the confusion that it has not even been confirmed whether the women who died, named last night as Claire Furmedge, 38, and Elizabeth Collings, 68, both from County Durham, fell from the inflatable or were crushed. Both had been inside with children prior to the accident.
"We will have search teams back at the scene today going through everything to see if there is anything that will assist us in determining the cause," Chief Inspector Watson said.
The police hope some of the hundreds of people in the park who captured the incident on mobile phones and cameras may hold vital clues, and last night appealed for people with potentially useful footage to come forward.
Chester-le-Street District Council also set up a trauma helpline to assist those who witnessed what happened and might need professional counselling.
The spokesman for the Arts Council said that they would be doing everything they could to cooperate with the inquiry.
But what the tragedy means for future projects of a similar nature remains to be decided.
The spokesman said: "It is important for everyone to learn whatever lessons can be learnt from this terrible incident. We are absolutely determined that any findings and recommendations that are made will be implemented to ensure that nothing like this happens again."
Chloe Wilson, a seven-year-old girl who witnessed the inflatable soar into the air, returned to the scene yesterday to lay flowers. She said: "There were loads of people running about and we tried to run towards it after it came down on the ground. Lots of people were trying to rip it open with their hands and little knives and I was asking if I could help," she said.
"It was very scary and people were screaming. I saw a lady clinging on and then falling out and she was lying on the ground with people around her. I think she died. I really wanted to come here today and put some flowers down."
Meanwhile, Lee Wright, father of the badly injured three-year-old, Rosie, thanked the passing anaesthetist who helped save her life by advising paramedics and travelling to hospital with her by helicopter.
Mr Wright, 34, from Langley Park near Durham said: "I cannot remember his name but he said he was just walking through the park. He was telling the paramedics what to do and he put a tube down her throat, it was absolutely horrible."
Rosie and her four-year-old brother Jack had just entered the Dreamspace with Mr Wright's ex-wife Penny when the inflatable took off. After the accident, Mr Wright dashed to the scene to discover what he described as a "disaster zone" with "bodies everywhere".
Rosie, whose injuries may have been caused when she collided with a metal fan, has a broken leg, a broken right thigh, a slight fracture to the pelvis, multiple fractured ribs, a punctured lung and small spinal fractures. "She's as good as she can be at this stage," Mr Wright said.
He added: "Jack has not got a scratch on him, but he was in loads of shock."Reuse content

Former chief executive Robin Southwell, who resigned last September after the second profits warning, was handed £606,000 in cash and shares.
Ric Piper, who resigned as finance chief in October to join publisher Trinity Mirror, received £163,000 in cash and shares. Piper later collected more than £400,000 and an apology from Trinity Mirror after the company's chairman Sir Victor Blank told him he was not wanted, given the turmoil that followed the profits warning at WS Atkins.
Trinity Mirror tore up Piper's contract as finance director a day before he was due to start the job. The publisher paid out and apologised on the eve of legal action by Piper. Shares in WS Atkins plunged 72% on the day of the second profits warning. The company blamed a doubling of its debts and the botched introduction of new financial reporting systems, which affected billing and cost control.
Southwell was paid compensation for loss of office totalling £399,810. There was also a contribution of £76,000 to his pension scheme. In addition, he was paid £18,750 for legal fees and outplacement support. Southwell took his bonus in shares via the directors' pre-tax equity participation plan. The balance of the £606,000 is made up of shares.
Southwell bought 48,321 Atkins shares while he was chief executive. These are currently worth just under £160,000. He is now chief executive for Air Tanker, a consortium of European defence groups including Airbus owner European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company, Thales, Rolls-Royce and Cobham that is bidding for a £13bn Private Finance Initiative to run the RAF's air-to-air refuelling for the next 27 years.
WS Atkins took nine months to appoint Southwell's replacement, Keith Clarke. He joined from construction firm Skanska on a salary of £340,000.
The company's shares, having slumped to a low of 52p last October, have steadily climbed back. They closed last night at 319p.

Chicago strike may not help students in the long run
After many months of difficult negotiations, the teachers' union and school system announced last week agreement on a new contract making student performance a factor in teachers' evaluations, giving school leaders more latitude in selecting teachers and keeping class sizes in middle grades in check.
In Chicago? Of course not.
So where? Boston.
While the Chicago teachers' strike, which closed public schools for the week, got huge national attention, the Boston settlement, after more than two years of negotiations (and no strike), got minimal notice. Everybody loves a fight, I suppose. But I would argue that what happened in Boston was at least as important as the grand battle in Chicago.
Why? Because I doubt much good is going to emerge from Chicago. It sounded at week's end as if negotiators were headed toward an agreement that won't really change the status quo very much - and the status quo for Chicago kids is about as happy as it is for Milwaukee kids.
Boston is much more in line with what is happening nationwide, including growing interest, even among many union leaders, in striving for improvements in teaching.
It's a very complex and tricky path, but the willingness to explore it is, in itself, a positive thing. Wisconsin education leaders have been acting more in line with the Boston agreement than the Chicago brawl.
Focusing on teachers and teaching is the great frontier in American education now. For one thing, so many other things have proved to have so little lasting impact. For another, there is a good body of research behind saying that the impact of teaching quality, be it good or bad, is a major factor in student progress in the long run.
So what can be done to raise the overall quality - and positive impact - of teachers and teaching?
It's a crucial question worth tremendous amounts of attention, exploration and even experimentation. And that is happening.
But the pursuit of answers has to be levelheaded and careful. A lot of what is said on both sides strikes me as too simple, lacking facts, and shaped by personal opinion and political partisanship.
Take, for example, the use of student test scores in assessing a teacher's work. To listen to some, test scores show nothing about a teacher's work. Others want to do it right now.
Reduced to those terms, both sides of the debate are wrong. You can learn about teaching from test scores.
But how to factor that constructively into evaluating teachers is, at best, really difficult. There has been limited success so far, and there is a great deal still to learn.
Among a long list of questions, what about the majority of teachers involved in subjects or grades where standardized testing is not done?
Or this: How many years of data, and just what data, are necessary to have a fair handle on a teacher's impact? Or this: Do you really hang people's jobs on shaky, inadequate and debatably fair indicators - and how do we get past those issues?
The efforts that are being developed in many places do not call for using test data as the sole factor in rating teachers. Almost all call for "outcomes" to be used for 50% or less of evaluations - and in many cases, including what is expected to emerge in Wisconsin, that 50% will include more than just test scores.
(The other 50% or more of a teacher's evaluation will be based on "performance," largely meaning evaluations by principals or qualified observers of a teacher's work. That, too, is a huge issue, given the generally lousy quality of most teacher evaluation systems up to this point.)
This is really difficult work - but very worthwhile, if it can raise the quality of teaching. More will be known on these fronts in several years. Based on last week's furor, I doubt any light will be shed on these pursuits by anything coming out of Chicago Public Schools.
I kept thinking last week of a 2008 book, "So Much Reform, So Little Change: The Persistence of Failure in Urban Schools," by Charles M. Payne, a longtime professor at the University of Chicago who was, among other things, acting chief academic officer of Chicago Public Schools for a brief period in 2011.
Payne described how adults in school systems were often unwilling to undertake or incapable of undertaking things that would make their schools more successful.
"After a couple decades of being energetically reformed, most schools, especially the bottom-tier schools, and most school systems seem to be pretty much the same kind of organizations they were at the beginning," Payne wrote. "There is no doubt that ideological rigidity is among the main reasons it takes us so long to learn so little."
Payne ends the book by recalling a New Jersey educator in the 1890s, William Moore, whose African-American students included some of Payne's own family. Payne sums up Moore's philosophy:
"Give them teaching that is determined, energetic, and engaging. Hold them to high standards. Expose them to as much as you can, most especially the arts. Root the school in the community and take advantage of the culture children bring with them. Pay attention to their social and ethical development. Recognize the reality of race, poverty, and other social barriers, but make children understand that barriers don't have to limit their lives; help them see themselves as contributing citizens of both a racial community and a larger one. Above all, no matter where in the social structure children are coming from, act as if their possibilities are boundless."
Wow. I did not feel that thinking like that was part of what was visible in Chicago last week. I think there is more potential for it in Boston and all the other places, including Wisconsin, where the hard, healthy and hopeful work of improving what happens between teachers and students is being tackled more constructively.

The local paper shop
(Haydn enters the shop and there is an elderly customer in front of him. Sarah is working in the shop who is Haydns Aunt)
Customer Can I have a bag of lemon bon bons, a pack of Mayfair and the Daily Mail please?
Sarah Certainly sir coming right up. (To Haydn) Oh. Hi Haydn can you pick up the Daily Mail for this gentlemen please.
(Haydn picks up the paper and hands it to the customer)
That'll be £5.63 then please. (Customer hands money over)
Thankyou see you soon.
(Haydn holds the door open for the customer, there is now only himself and Sarah in the shop)
So Haydn what can I do for you today?
Haydn I'll have a 10 pack of Benson and Hedges.
Sarah (Laughs) Nice try mate.
Haydn Only joking you know that, but seriously can I put £5 on my phone?
(Haydn hands over his card and money and holds his forehead)
Argh my head is killing me.
Sarah (Disappointed) Another hangover c'mon kid this aint fair on your mum you really have to sort it out. You're my nephew Haydn it's bad enough your mother not doing much and Carol for that matter I don't want you turning out the same way. There you go your card and your receipt it should be about ten minuites until your credit is updated and this parcel came for your mother make sure she gets it Haydn because it's important. (Sarah hands over the parcel)
Haydn Ok I'll make sure she gets it and I'll see you soon. (Haydn leaves and sees Gary) Alright mate how you doing?
Gary (Holding is head) Argh not so loud my head is killing me. I aint meant to be out cuz my mums grounded me for causing trouble and for getting pretty drunk and I had to go and apologise to that woman who I apparently shouted at but I don't remember doing it. What about you?
Haydn Well unlike you I remember everything that happened I told Oscar whats what and then stormed in my flat and told my mother whats what, but I'm so glad I got that off my chest, too long I've been lying to them and it's about time they heard it how it is. Oh by the way you'll never guess what the Head said to me yesterday.
Gary What did he say?
Haydn He said (Copying the Head) If your sent back to me at all next week then I'll suspend you for a month and I will personally come round your house everyday and teach me himself. (Back as himself) And you know how boring his lessons are don't you?
Gary So you're pretty much screwed for next week then aint ya, but hey look on the bright side.
Haydn Whats that?
Gary You'll have to go to double maths (They are now outside there respective flats) Anyway I'll see you on Monday I best go in before my mum starts wondering where I am (Pause) for once. (Gary exits as does Haydn)
(In Haydns Flat)
Haydn Mum I've got you a parcel, Sarah told me to give it to you. (Pause as he hands it over) Well aren't you going to open it?
Shannon No not yet I've got more important things to do.
Haydn Like what?
Shannon (Strictly) Well after your little show last night I've decided to leave you at Carols today, because I'm not putting up with you not after last night.
Haydn Whats the matter with you? You need to sort your morals out one minute your sobbing your eyes out and next your little miss bossy boots.
Shannon Well you were going to go tomorrow but I'm struggling to keep you out of trouble so she can sort you out.
Haydn Oh well at least Auntie Carols flat doesn't stink of fags unlike this hovel.
Shannon (Angered) How dare you if you don't like it go live with your father.
Haydn No thanks I'll give that a miss, (Pretends to get upset) I'd have to change schools and I don't think I could put up with the emotional stress of that.
Shannon Oh stop being such a drama queen Haydn get some stuff and get in the car and hurry up.
Haydn Do you know if you weren't so lazy we could get out this dingy flat.
Shannon You can talk about being lazy. Come on Haydn get in the car. (They both exit)
The car

Shannon Now Haydn I want to be good for Carol today seems as she's agreed to look after you today.
Haydn Yeah whatever, you can trust me you know. (Haydn turns his music up)
Shannon Can I though? (Shannon starts the car and the set off there is a long awkward pause as Shannon doesn't know what to say. Haydn has headphones in but it is apparent that he is not listening to Shannon) Haydn, Haydn are you even listening to me? You know what I don't know why I bother even talking to you anymore, you are so ignorant, just like your father. (Pause then shouts) Haydn.
Haydn (Haydn takes one earphone out.) (Calmly) What was that? Sorry I was listening to my music.
Shannon (Gives out a cry of stress) (Shannon's phone rings she answers it whilst driving) Hi Carol… yeah we're about ten minutes away… Yeah he's fine trying my patience thanks for taking him off me today I need the rest… I enjoyed the pleasure of discovering he was with the police last night… Yes Oscar brought him back… What do you mean is it back on?
Haydn (Takes one earphone out) Mum you do know that it is against the law to drive and speak on the phone at the same time. (Pause) Just thought I'd say. (Puts his earphone back in)
Shannon (Shouts) Shut up Haydn. I'm sick to death of you. (To Carol) Sorry about that Carol… Yes I know he's right. You, you are as bad as him. See you soon. (Shannon puts the phone down)
