The summer 2015 season opens with Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller's 1949 Pulitzer prize-winning play about failed dreams and thwarted ambition. Artistic Director, Gregory Doran, directs Antony Sher in the role of Willy Loman, the downtrodden salesman of the title. Alex Hassell, who plays Prince Hal alongside Antony Sher's Falstaff in the RSC's current productions of Henry IV Parts I & II, will play Willy's eldest son, Biff. The production will be designed by Stephen Brimson Lewis with lighting by Tim Mitchell.
The repertoire continues with two plays set in Venice: Shakespeare's uncompromising tragedies The Merchant of Venice andOthello.
The Merchant of Venice will be directed by Polly Findlay, in her first Shakespeare production for the RSC. Polly's production ofArden of Faversham currently plays in the Swan Theatre as part of 'The Roaring Girls' season. She has directed Protest Songat The Shed at the National Theatre and will direct Treasure Island at the National Theatre at the end of 2014.
Othello will be directed by Iqbal Khan, whose last production for the RSC was an acclaimed Much Ado About Nothing in 2012, set in India.
After more than a decade working in film and television on projects from Star Wars to Holby City, Hugh Quarshie returns to the RSC to play the title role. He last appeared with the Company in 1996 in Faust and Julius Caesar. Lucian Msamati also returns to play Iago. His most recent theatre work includes Little Revolution at the Almeida, The Amen Corner and The Comedy of Errors at the National Theatre, and Clybourne Park which also ran in the West End. His TV work includes Game of Thrones,Ashes to Ashes and The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency. He last appeared at the RSC in Pericles in 2006.
SWAN THEATRE 18 March - 12 September 2015
The Jew of Malta
by Christopher Marlowe, directed by Justin Audibert
18 March - 8 September 2015
Love's Sacrifice
by John Ford, directed by Matthew Dunster
11 April - 24 June 2015
by Ben Jonson, directed by Trevor Nunn, with Henry Goodman in the title role
3 July - 12 September 2015
The Venice season crosses both houses and the themes of the main house Shakespeare productions are reflected in the Swan Theatre repertoire.
Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta opens the season, directed by Justin Audibert,
in his debut production for the RSC. Justin last worked as an assistant director with the Company in 2009-2011 and is an Artistic Associate of HighTide Festival Theatre and Associate of Told by an Idiot. The production is designed by Lily Arnold.
The play picks up the themes of racism and revenge seen in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, as it follows the Christian Governor of Malta's attempts to buy off the invading Turkish fleet with money levied from the island's Jewish population. The title character, Barabas, complains bitterly and his entire fortune is seized. He plans swift and bloody vengeance that threatens to destroy the entire island as men of all faiths ruthlessly pursue their own interests.
Love's Sacrifice by John Ford joins the repertoire. This rarely-performed play is a thrilling revenge tragedy published in 1633, which echoes Othello as it explores the destructive power of jealousy. It tells the story of the Duke of Pavia, his beautiful wife, Bianca, and his best friend, Fernando, who falls for Bianca. Racked with jealousy and her own desire for Fernando, the Duke's sister, Fiormonda, begins to manipulate her brother against his friend with the help of the villainous D'Avalos.
Matthew Dunster makes his RSC debut with the production. His most recent work includes Mametz (National Theatre Wales), The Lightning Child (Shakespeare's Globe) and
A Midsummer Night's Dream (Regent's Park Open Air Theatre).
The final production is Ben Jonson's great satirical comedy Volpone, set in Venice. Former RSC Artistic Director Trevor Nunn directs, returning to the Swan Theatre for the first time, which he created and opened in 1986. During his time running the RSC he also created The Other Place and directed most of the Shakespeare canon, alongside other diverse productions such asNicholas Nickleby, Les Miserables and Peter Pan. He last returned to the company in 2007 to direct King Lear and The Seagull. The productions toured internationally and ran in London before King Lear was filmed in 2008. He last collaborated with Henry Goodman on the award-winning productions of The Merchant of Venice and Summerfolk at the National Theatre in 1999.
Henry Goodman, who returns to the Company as the 'Fox' of the title, was last with the RSC as Richard III in 2003 and has recently been at the National Theatre in The Holy Rosenbergs and as the eponymous Arturo Ui in The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui in the West End last year. Volpone is designed by Stephen Brimson Lewis.
The RSC continues its journey through all 36 of Shakespeare's plays in the First Folio, making every play an event and sharing his work with audiences everywhere.
Working across the nation over the next two years, the Company will build on the successes of its national outreach programmes leading to the Shakespeare anniversary year of 2016. In a unique collaboration the RSC brings together its 400-strong Learning and Performance Network of schools and regional theatres, the Open Stages network of amateur companies and theatre partners, as well as its long-standing relationships with UK touring venues.
First Encounter: The Famous Victories of Henry V
Following the success of this year's First Encounter production of The Taming of the Shrew, the RSC has commissioned its next specially-adapted production for younger audiences.
The Famous Victories of Henry V condenses the three great plays of Henry IV Parts I & II and Henry V into a 90 minute adventure for 8 - 13 year olds. Using Shakespeare's original language, the production introduces notorious bad boy Prince Hal as he swaps his rebellious life on the streets of London for the battlefields of France to become one of the most famous heroes in British history. Hal's epic journey into adulthood will lead its young audience through a life of scandal, parties, friendships, family feuds, rebellion and new responsibilities, ending in glorious victory as the once infamous Prince of England becomes the brave and noble King Henry V.
The title of The Famous Victories is taken from an early play that may have inspired Shakespeare to write the Henry plays.
The production complements the RSC's recent History plays and will be directed by Owen Horsley, making his directing debut for the RSC. Owen is currently assistant director for Gregory Doran on the Henry IV productions and is Artistic Director of Eyestring Theatre Company and Associate Director at Cheek by Jowl.
Following its opening in Stratford-upon-Avon in June 2015, The Famous Victories of Henry V will tour to schools and theatres across England who all form part of the RSC's long term education partnership programme, the Learning and Performance Network. The production takes place in the 600th anniversary year since the battle of Agincourt and will be supported by a full education programme. It takes the RSC's work into the heart of communities and will play in school halls and theatre spaces across the country, including Hull, Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle under Lyme, Southampton and York.
A Midsummer Night's Dream: A Play for the Nation
The RSC will work with thirteen theatre partners and a vast range of amateur theatre-makers across the UK to produce a play for the whole nation. This special production combines two years of touring as it is created for and will mark the 400thanniversary of Shakespeare's death in 2016. Of all Shakespeare's plays, this one is especially loved for its delightful comedy, its magical setting and its cavalcade of glorious characters.
A professional RSC company will tour A Midsummer Night's Dream: A Play for the Nation for twelve weeks throughout the spring and summer of 2016. In every location, a new group of amateur performers will play Bottom and the rude mechanicals and local schoolchildren will play Titania's fairy train.
Deputy Artistic Director, Erica Whyman, will direct the production, collaborating with:
Northern Stage and Theatre Royal, Newcastle upon Tyne
Hall for Cornwall, Truro
Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury
Alhambra Theatre, Bradford
Grand Theatre, Blackpool
Lyric Theatre and Grand Opera House, Belfast
New Theatre, Cardiff
Theatre Royal, Norwich
Theatre Royal; Nottingham
Citizens Theatre, Glasgow
Barbican, London
Spring 2015: Recruitment process for the amateur performers begins, as each partner theatre selects amateur groups. The RSC and partners will share skills with the amateurs through a series of workshops throughout the spring and summer, during which 90 amateur actors will be selected.
Summer 2015: Schools across the country, some of whom are already involved in the RSC's Learning and Performance Network, will be invited to take part in workshops for teachers and whole-school activities for students. Children from local primary and secondary schools in each region will be cast as Titania's fairy train from September 2015. Around 480 children across the UK will perform in the production.
Autumn 2015: The amateur performers will prepare for their roles through a training programme with Erica and regional partners and theatre-makers, exploring Shakespeare and other writers.
January 2016: Rehearsals with the professional company will begin, streamed each week from London, Stratford and two regional locations. People will be able to follow the whole story online and through a unique broadcast collaboration with the BBC, who will track the amateurs every step of the way from spring 2015 to their moment on stage in the summer of 2016.
February 2016: A Midsummer Night's Dream will open in Stratford-upon-Avon, then tour across the country, beginning in Newcastle upon Tyne and then playing a week at eleven venues with the individual amateur groups.
Summer 2016: The company returns to Stratford, where the tour will culminate in a special Midsummer month of performances in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in June 2016, featuring all the amateur actors from around the UK.
A Midsummer Night's Dream: A Play for the Nation is a co-production between the Royal Shakespeare Company and amateur theatre companies across the UK. This is an arrangement developed between the RSC and Equity.
Gregory Doran, RSC Artistic Director, said:
"I am looking forward to a summer of great theatre. We have a fantastic programme for 2015 with some truly exciting actors and directors on board.
"We mark the Arthur Miller centenary with one of the greatest plays of the 20th Century, Death of a Salesman, and we have taken Venice as a starting point for the summer season. We have programmed main stage work which draws on our heritage as the world's greatest Shakespeare company, and we celebrate the Swan Theatre as the home of work by Shakespeare's contemporaries, with powerful plays from Marlowe, Ford and Jonson, which resonate with Shakespeare's themes and the Venice setting as they too explore the idea of the outsider.
"We are proud to be a national company with our heart firmly in the Midlands, and I'm especially thrilled that we have combined two years of touring with a really bold programme to stage A Midsummer Night's Dream as a play with and for the nation for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death in 2016."
Erica Whyman, Deputy Artistic Director, said:
"We should all feel as though Shakespeare belongs to us and yet we know that not everyone does. We want to celebrate Shakespeare's legacy as we lead up to 2016 and find new ways of bringing the pleasure of his plays to the widest audience.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream is probably the play most of us begin with, so it made sense to choose this as a title for this unique celebratory production. I am excited that we are going to be working with such an amazing range of people all over the country to make it truly 'a play for the nation' - and that we will be doing it in collaboration with our thirteen theatre partners and the BBC.
"There's some fantastic and unexpected talent out there in the amateur theatre world, and we've had the privilege to see so much of it over the last three years of Open Stages. It is a real treat to be able to bring the professional and amateur worlds together in this extraordinary tour.
"We will also build on the great education work happening up and down the country in our 400 strong Learning and Performance Network, by inviting whole schools to explore A Midsummer Night's Dream, and for some of their young students to be part of Titania's fairy train.
"It is a glorious challenge to stage this wonderful play with different casts up and down the country, but one which I am honoured to undertake!"
New free Interactive Learning Resources
With the introduction of the new curriculum at Key Stage 3, the RSC launches a series of interactive, digital resources for use by teachers and students in the classroom. Alongside the Schools' Broadcasts series, which brings the Company's work into classrooms around the UK for free, the RSC has also developed these new resources specifically for KS3 students.
Interactive Learning Resources: http://interactiveresources.rsc.org.uk/
Director of Education, Jacqui O'Hanlon, said:
"The new curriculum states that students aged 11 to 14 must study two plays by Shakespeare. As the RSC stages all 36 First Folio plays over the next six years, we invite students and teachers to join us on this extraordinary journey and take the opportunity to explore less well known texts at KS3 and open up the range of plays they get exposed to at school.
"Our new resources are optimised for use on all interactive whiteboards. They introduce students to key scenes in performance; feature in-depth interviews with major characters; open up our archive of past productions; and invite students to actively engage with the plays in the way that actors and directors do in the rehearsal room. Our first interactive resource focuses on Henry IV Parts I & II. During the 14/15 academic year, we will also launch resources on The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love's Labour's Lost, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice and Othello. All of the resources are available for free and complement our Schools' Broadcast series.
"Looking further ahead, we will also be releasing an edited version of A Midsummer Night's Dream for schools in the UK to join our national celebration of Shakespeare's work. In addition to the text we will provide guidance for mounting a production in school."
Susan Stockwell - from April 2015, RSC theatres, Stratford-upon-Avon
Renowned British artist, Susan Stockwell, will create a brand new exhibition throughout the theatres for the 2015 summer season. The exhibition will explore the work on stage and be created while she is in residence with the RSC.
Stockwell creates thought-provoking artwork made from the everyday domestic and industrial materials and products that pervade our lives. Her practice is concerned with ecology, politics, mapping, trade and global commerce. Previous work has included a world map painted in tea on dress-making patterns and a flotilla of boats made from paper currency, tickets and maps installed in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. The exhibition is free.
Shakespeare's 'Birthday Bash' Concert
On the Birthday Weekend 2015, as Death of a Salesman plays in the main house, the RSC will create a special concert of music inspired by Shakespeare in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at 4pm on Sunday 26 April. Details to follow.
RSC collaboration with Garsington Opera
The RSC collaborates with Garsington Opera for the first time to stage an abridged version of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream performed by members of the Royal Shakespeare Company, under the creative guidance of Gregory Doran, with Mendelssohn's enchanting music, sung and played the Garsington Opera Singers and Orchestra, and conducted by Douglas Boyd. Performances take place at Garsington Opera's spectacular pavilion on the Wormsley Estate in Buckinghamshire (16-18 July 2015) and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon (26 July 2015).
Henry IV Parts I & II
Gregory Doran's pair of productions play in repertoire in the Barbican after their tour to six UK towns, from 29 November this year until 24 January 2015. The RSC's free exhibition 'Is This A Dagger?' by artists Stand + Stare, will be on display in the Barbican foyer during the run of the shows, offering visitors an interactive experience into the fascinating world of theatre.
There is a new website dedicated to the productions in London, which includes new content and behind the scenes details on the shows. www.rschistories.org.uk
A Mad World My Masters
As previously announced, the RSC's production of A Mad World My Masters by Thomas Middleton will be revived and toured in an English Touring Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company co-production, as a National Touring Group initiative, from February 2015. The production will open in Wolverhampton, then play in Blackpool, Brighton, Malvern, Truro, Bath, Darlington and Cambridge before a two week run at the Barbican in London from 29 April 2015. This version of the play, adapted by Sean Foley and Phil Porter, is directed by Sean Foley, with design by Alice Power and sound and music by Ben and Max Ringham. There will be a press performance at the Barbican on Thursday 30 April 2015 at 7.30pm.

T-Mobile: G2x Is Great, We're Fixing It
The T-Mobile G2x is a terrific smartphone, if you have one of the good ones. In our review, we rated the G2x the best Android phone in America. But reports have come out of various bugs and defective units, leading to a rumor that it was pulled from store shelves.
The G2x is out of stock online, but it hasn't been recalled, a T-Mobile spokesman emailed me last night. Still, though, the email tacitly acknowledged that the phone might be getting some fixes.
"The T-Mobile G2x with Google has been a highly popular device with both customers and employees since its launch last month, and high demand has resulted in inventory constraints, which we are working with LG to address."
"Customer satisfaction for the G2x has been high. As with any new device, a small percentage of customers have commented about possible improvements and we are working with LG to deliver a software update, which we expect to offer some performance enhancements."
I've actually seen one of the defective phones, because my mom owns one. Our review model was bug-free. So on my recommendation, my mother picked up a T-Mobile G2x, which she loves, except for the fact that it spontaneously shuts down randomly. Needless to say, that's a bummer.
It's good to see that T-Mobile has acknowledged the situation, and I'm looking forward to hearing about the software patch. In the meantime, it might be useful to look back at this old column advising you to never buy a device within its first few weeks of release.

OAKLAND, Calif. — The decision to hold back the starting pitchers early in spring training because of last season's extended work may be the reason they haven't been as sharp early in the season, manager Joe Maddon said.
But it was still the appropriate decision.
"The way we handled spring training intentionally, and I believe what we did was right, some of these guys have not really gotten to the point where they feel … 100 percent strong or good about what's going on with their arm and their bodies," Maddon said. "I think they're arriving at that point right about now. … I think they're starting to hit that 'feel-good' stride right about now."
Rays starters are 7-9 with a 4.61 ERA, having allowed 96 hits and 46 walks in 1071/3 innings, 1.323 baserunners per inning.
Last season, the starters were 66-48 with a 3.95 ERA, allowing 958 hits and 305 walks in 9731/3 innings, an average of 1.297.
Maddon said it was important for the starters to be on a slower pace than usual but admitted Saturday that the Rays weren't sure exactly how it would affect them.
"That was part of it," he said. "I didn't know how it was necessarily going to work, but I always believed it was the right way to do it, to not push them early. I keep talking about it; it's about health, and right now I believe we're healthy, and that's the main purpose of the way we did things, to maintain health early and through the entire season. So, so far so good in that regard."
Izzy update: RHP Jason Isringhausen passed the test of back-to-back outings at Double-A Montgomery, but it sounds as if the Rays will use the full 30-day rehab allotment — through May 19 — before making any decision.
Isringhausen will pitch once more for the Biscuits, either Monday or Tuesday, then move up to Triple-A Durham and be used on a situational, rather than scheduled, basis.
"Coming off (elbow) surgery and coming out of spring training he really, I know, would have liked to have made the team at that time," Maddon said. "But I think he's realized, we've all realized, that he needed more time, so there's no real urgency yet. And I would much prefer that he just works himself into feeling real good about himself and what he's doing and regains that consistent form that he's capable of. Because he could be really big for us before the season's over."
Hot Peña: Carlos Peña's two homers keyed Friday night's 8-2 win and also put him in rare company: leading the majors with eight homers and sharing the major-league RBI lead with Albert Pujols at 21. The only other time a Ray led the majors in homers this late in a season was 1999, when Jose Canseco was on top as late as June 26.
The eight homers are three shy of the Rays record for April (Jonny Gomes had 11 in 2006). Peña is the seventh Ray to reach 20 RBIs in an April and is three shy of the record shared by Fred McGriff (1999) and Ty Wigginton (2006).
Hot Joe: Maddon was pleased with the offense and with LHP Scott Kazmir's performance, especially after a shaky start, Friday, but not with some late-game sloppiness: a third strike getting by C Dioner Navarro and an errant throw by Peña that led to extended outings for relievers Joe Nelson (29 pitches) and Lance Cormier (18).
"I just don't like when we let down mentally," he said. "And that's what we can't afford to do to get back to the promised land. Our mental game has to be 100 percent right on every night. Then go ahead and make as many physical mistakes as you need to make. I never begrudge that. It's just about concentration and being in the moment."
Miscellany: With a solo shot Saturday, Jason Giambi has 31 homers and 112 RBIs in 138 games against the Rays. … There will be a watch party for today's game at the Tradewinds Resort on St. Pete Beach, with radio pre- and postgame host Rich Herrera on the scene and prizes. … RHP Chad Orvella, who missed last season after shoulder surgery, has allowed one run in 101/3 innings at Durham and has 10 strikeouts.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The first group of dogs rescued by a local shelter from Russia arrived in Central Florida on Tuesday night.
The ARNI Foundation paid to have 18 dogs sent from Russia to their shelter in Daytona Beach in hopes of finding new homes.
The dogs were first rescued by an British animal rights group working in Russia after it was discovered around 5,000 stray dogs were killed ahead of the recent Olympic games in Sochi.
The foundation says five of the dogs arrived on a flight Tuesday night. The other 13 dogs will be sent at a later date.
The dogs will be in quarantine for 30 days but after that will be up for adoption.

RunningFire11 says this about the course that he killed on Saturday morning: "Most of the race is flat to slightly rolling, but only two hills to speak of at miles 3/10 and 6/turnaround."
Here is my description: an out and back course that is uphill both ways.
Yep, you guessed it- Saturday was not my day.
I have one other half under my belt to compare this to- the RW Half that I ran in 2012 with a 2:12:11. I remember the first 10K of this race being easy-breezy, cruising through Bethlehem enjoying the scenery and totally loving life.
Saturday was a grind for me right from the start. It never was easy for me. I barely remember the course, I was busy working. I took none of it in.
I can say this, I maintained the pace I needed for a sub- 2:10 through 8 miles, but never banked any time. It was NEVER easy, even the first few miles. I really felt like I was always climbing. It was fun to see the marathoners and faster halfers coming back through, and in my head they all seemed to be coming downhill. I made the turn around, and was totally anticipating the downhill. I had worked hard, and when I hit the downhill I would do my best to recover and relax for the last miles. The problem was, there was no downhill. The course was rolling. This sort of did me in. I struggle with being competitive some times, and I lost any competitive edge on the last 5 miles of this race. I just wanted it to be over. My GPS app on my phone didn't help. After it said I was at mile 12 I passed the 11 mile marker. I may have uttered some choice words at this point.
Time: 2:24:27. WTF.
Lesson learned: ? I don't know. I do know that this race has made me even more proud of my first half where I did so well. This time I put in 35 more miles of training, got in all my long runs. I think my mistake was quantity over quality. I avoided a lot of hill work trying to avoid shin splints. My shins feel great, my ego not so much. On top of that, it just wasn't my day. It will be some time before I consider another half. I have tons of weekend 5 and 10K's this summer.
I was almost not going to post a RR, but I'm glad I am. I am officially closing this race up, and moving on.

Probably a stretch. But some of the funny complaints about the out-of-town guests had me imagining those same people logging on to SE and being all ... "HEY! They're talking about ME!"

Property Description
Full description
An attractive Georgian country house and grounds located in an idyllic setting in the rural hamlet of Newton of Belltrees.
Glenshian is a B listed Georgian house built of stone under a pitched slate roof. The accommodation which has been extensively refurbished is spread over two floors with formal and family public rooms on the ground floor with spacious sleeping accommodation on the first floor. The centre of the house is dominated by a large traditional family kitchen (not fitted out) and spacious dining hall which leads into a study, drawing room and conservatory. The staircase from the dining hall leads to a landing which gives access to the master bedroom with en suite dressing room and bathroom, a second bathroom and two further bedrooms.

Above these rooms and accessed by the staircase in the rear hall or by separate outside staircase is a sitting room, office/bedroom and a bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Subject to the correct planning permission the accommodation could be extended into the garage and workshop or this section of the house could be converted into an independent dwelling.
Glenshian benefits from a very attractive formal garden around the house which is predominately enclosed by walls. The garden consists of a combination of lawns, flower and vegetable beds, an orchard and a wooded area. Beyond the garden is a paddock which has been planted with a selection of specimen trees, therefore suitable for grazing or recreation. The grounds total circa 3.1 acres.

Access Worlds early birds catch the Pro Hart print
by Julie Hodder on 13 Jan 2012
An example of the Pro Hart print which is up for grabs - Macquarie 2012 International Access Class World and International Championships Julie Hodder
Early Bird entries are now being accepted for the Macquarie 2012 Access Worlds to be held at Middle Harbour Yacht Club, Sydney Australia. All entries received and paid by February 10th 2012 will go into the draw for a signed Pro Hart print, donated by fellow contestant Tish Ennis. Final entries must be received no later than Friday 2nd March 2012 or late fees will apply.
One lucky early bird winner will be selected to win a signed print by the iconic Australian artist Pro Hart (www.prohart.com.au). From Wikipedia 'Kevin Charles 'Pro' Hart, MBE (30 May 1928 – 28 March 2006), born in Broken Hill, New South Wales, was considered the father of the Australian Outback painting movement and his works are widely admired for capturing the true spirit of the outback.'
This famous painting entitled 'Boat Race at Alice Springs' was originally painted by Pro Hart around 1980. Alice Springs is in the centre of Australia's arid region and is the scene for the yearly Henley-on-Todd Regatta, where 'boatraces' are held with bottomless boats, held up by the contestants who have to run through the dry riverbed. But if it rains and there is water in the river, the boat race has to be cancelled!
Tish's father was given this print in late 1980 when he was working as a doctor at Broken Hill. Tish said 'Dad was interested in snakes and snake bites. Following an interview on the local radio, Pro Hart telephoned him to come and help remove a snake from his garage and they became quite good friends. He and Dad would often spend some time in the evening together and we were given a number of signed

to enter this World Championship online. To help us with the organisation, we are keen to receive as many early entries as possible so we can order the right size regatta shirts (first in, best dressed) and plan for the chartering and storage of boats and trailers etc.
You can enter the event NOW and pay before the 2nd March, but to go into the early bird draw you need to pay before February 10th.
I would also urge you to secure accommodation as the regatta is over Easter – refer to website for more

Returning scholarship WRs: Marqise Lee*, Nelson Agholor, Darreus Rogers, Victor Blackwell, George Farmer, Steven Mitchell
*-considering NFL Draft
Gone: De'Von Flournoy
Breakdown: Let's start with the widely-held presumption that Lee, a probable first-round pick, will skip his senior season and declare for the NFL Draft. That's a big loss for the Trojans, but here's a name to remember: Steven Mitchell. Mitchell tore up his knee during drills last summer and never even got to officially practice with USC, but he had already been turning heads with some stellar workouts as an incoming freshman. A trio of two game-breakers, Agholor and Mitchell, paired with a strong possession receiver in Rogers, will give the Trojans exactly what they need. Then there's Farmer, who is superbly talented physically but can't stay healthy. If the Trojans get a full season out of Farmer, it would be a tremendous bonus. Blackwell has been inconsistent but also can thrive as a possession receiver. The big question is, is Agholor ready to step into the spotlight? He thrived as a freshman behind both Lee and Robert Woods, but didn't take the expected major step forward in 2013. He bobbles way too many balls to be an elite receiver and could stand to improve his skills in terms of fighting for balls in traffic. That said, all the physical skills are there for Agholor to be a dominant college receiver in 2014.

We take a lot of Pride.......: Carnival Pride Cruise Review by sinned44
Overall Member Rating
We take a lot of Pride.......
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Baltimore
The lifeboat drill took place at 4:00 p.m. outside on deck 3. It was a bit chilly but we did not have to take our life jackets for the first time ever for us on a cruise. Liked that a lot.
We had a balcony room on deck 7. Because it was chilly we did not spend a lot of time on the balcony but still enjoyed the view.
Our room was just off the elevators at the front of the ship. The room was oblong with three floor-to-ceiling closets on the left as you enter. The first had eight hangers with space for more. We brought some of our wire hangers with us. A storage shelf at the top holds the life jackets.
The second closet had no shelf at the top so the hangers, More (again there were eight) were higher up. This left plenty of space at the bottom where we were able to store our two suitcases, one large and one small.
The third closet simply had three shelves with ample storage room at the bottom. That was more than enough space for us. The first closet did contain two long white bathrobes, both large for one-size-fits-all. We used them quite a bit.
The bathroom was on the right as you entered. There was a large sink with six shelves, three on each side, one long shelf and 2 short shelves. Once again, plenty of space. There was a good sized shower with dispensers of shampoo and bath gel.
There was a long desk just past the closets on the left which had five storage drawers, one with the hair dryer in. Part of the desk had the minibar refrigerator and the TV and safe were just above that. The desk included a large mirror and a vanity stool. There was a smaller storage cabinet just past the desk.
Past the bathroom on the left was a large couch which could become a bed. We could sit there and read or watch TV comfortably.
Just past the couch on the right was the bed, two twin beds pushed together, with plenty of room for the two of us. There were night stands with a light and a small storage area on each side of the bed.
The balcony has two chairs (one reclines halfway) with a small table. There is a light on the balcony. The curtains are thick and keep it dark if you wish to sleep late.
We are very happy with the size of the rooms on the Pride. It is just one of the reasons we so enjoy this ship. Or cabin 7151, although just off the elevators, was still very quiet and rocking was minimal, and of little bother to us since we have cruised so often.
The trip down the Chesapeake bay is very smooth. We picked up a little speed once we reached the ocean but that is still fairly smooth since we don't go that fast, given we have until Wednesday morning to make it to Port Canaveral. However, the smooth sailing was interrupted Tuesday morning when a medical emergency caused us to go full speed and arrive in Port Canaveral about 12 hours early. But you live with that possibility when you cruise.
We eat fairly simply so the food on the Pride is another reason we like this ship. And that includes the food in both the Normandie Restaurant and the Mermaid's Grille. The service in both is very good. Waiters Jay Jay and Alain at table 191 in the Normandie were great.
The Mermaid's Grille can be a little confusing as others have posted. However, it is helpful to stop for just a moment before you enter to read the menu that is posted there each day telling you what is at each station. That way you can go directly to the station that has the best selection for you and then hit the other stations if necessary a little later when lines are shorter. The menu for each station is also posted at the front of the line at each one.
We are not night life people so cannot comment on that. However, we went to all the shows put on by the Carnival dancers, and enjoyed them although we had seen all 3 previously. The comedian on the first night, Al Ernst, was hilarious. The third night had Jerry Goodspeed, a comedian ventriloquist, who, as billed, was incredibly funny. The Legends show on Saturday night include a Sonny and Cher spoof by the cruise director and an aide. Don't miss that show when you go.
We had seen the cruise director, Jaime, as assistant cruise director when we went in May 2009. She did a wonderful job. She is so outgoing and personable. We chatted with her briefly on two occasions and she acknowledged us two other times.
We will cruise the Pride again. The size of the rooms, the food, and the distance to the port are the main factors. Hope everyone will continue to go and fill this ship so Carnival will stay in Baltimore. Less

Hello everyone,
I am testing the FrontlineSMS at the moment and wonder if the following scenario is possible using this software:
1. User sends in keyword, for example "water".
2. FrontlineSMS sends relevant message back regarding water safety, etc.
3. FrontlineSMS sends another message after couple minutes with additional information related to the first message.
I know that if the first message is large, it will be divided into two or three messages, so this would be one way to do it but I would like to have more control over timing when the second message is sent.
Is there a way to accomplish this task in FrontlineSMS?
Views: 40
Hi Walter,
Thanks for your post, and welcome to the FrontlineSMS forum! \o/
In answer to your question, I don't think this is currently possible with FrontlineSMS. There are other ways you could approach sharing additional information. As you say, its possible to set the auto-reply to just be a longer message. You could also set up the auto-reply to ask the sender if they want additional information, and then set up another keyword for this, so senders can opt-in to the additional information they are receiving. (With this latter approach you would need to consider costs for those texting into your system, and how to incentivise this).
Please let us know if you need further information, and I look forward to hearing more about your use of FrontlineSMS as it progresses.

Crude Oil - Wall of Worry?
Are You An Investor?
Then Get Lido Isle Advisors "Favorite 3"
Alternative Money Managers Emailed to You
Industrial production in the U.S. climbed for a second month in December, as the US equity futures continue their markedly bullish tone. MAR13 emini SP 500 futures are climbing again, this morning trading up 2 points to 1467. We reiterate our view that this market will head to 1500 at some point in Q1. We think the 1500 level, if hit, might create psychological impetus for more investors to get on board with long positions as 1500 is a key psychological level. In terms of the global equity markets, today the biggest mover is the Nikkei index, with the futures trading down 185 points, or 1.7%. The Nikkei has suffered its biggest one-day fall in eight months after government ministers expressed concerns about the weak yen.
The oft-discussed precious metals markets are having a very quiet day today, with gold trading down 4$ to 1679, and silver is trading down just $.11. There has not been much fundamental impetus to move gold this year. Gold has been essentially rallying for 10 straight years now, and 2013 is starting off the year in a very unexciting way for the gold market. $2000 was a favorite target for many goldbugs, and if 2013 sees the global economy pick back up, we believe gold will head farther away from $2000 rather than closer to it.
Soft commodities are mixed, with sugar trading down below its key pivot of $19. Sugar is down 1.13% today, trading at $.1841. Conversely, Orange Juice and Cotton are both strong today, with OJ futures trading up (after a steep recent sell-off) 1.63% while cotton is trading up 1.61%. Cotton looks to be climbing off of its recent base at the 70 level and we see key resistance at 79.
We focus more in the crude oil futures market this morning. Even though we have seen so much news this year of a widening crude oil supply, crude has still found a way to rally. It tried to head lower in Q4, but ended up building a base at the $86 level, and now has rallied to $94. We don't see major fundamentals in place for a continued monster rally, but at the same time, from a trader's standpoint, crude looks to be climbing a wall of worry. We view the next key resistance level at $95. If it does keep rallying, we view the next congestion area at $98.

@Man Eating Duck - IIRC there is no code in this plugin that manipulates the creator. It calls stock calibre code for updating the metadata like that. So I believe you will need to point that one towards Kovid if he doesn't spot it - it only happens when you tick the "Update metadata" box right?
Re the remove non dc:metadata option. Yeah I agree it isn't ideal how it works currently, but it isn't trivial to change which is why it was on the bottom of the priority list. This plugin basically does the following:
- unzips the epub
- applies all modifications except update metadata
- rezips the epub
- calls calibre code to update metadata that requires a zip
So in order to move the non dc check, the epub has to be unzipped and rezipped a second time, which isn't "ideal". But if it is the only way to make the function useful then so be it, will take a look sometime since other features/functions of this plugin seem to have stabilised.

LaMaMa E.T.C. & Howl Arts Inc. To Present Harold Rome's 1937 PINS AND NEEDLES, 10/27 - 28
LaMaMa E.T.C., in association with Howl Arts Inc., presents MIMI STERN WOLFE'S DOWNTOWN MUSIC PRODUCTIONS in Harold Rome's 1937 PINS AND NEEDLES A TOPICAL MUSICAL REVUE. Tickets are priced at $20 for general admission; $15 for students & seniors (Proceeds to benefit the Actor's Fund)
For reservations contact 212.475.7710 or visit www.lamama.org.
Mimi Stern-Wolfe's Downtown Music Productions will appear in a revival of Harold Rome's witty satire PINS AND NEEDLES, music direction by Stern-Wolfe, stage direction of Jonathan Cerullo. The revue will take place on October 27th at 10 pm and October 28th at 5:30 pm in The Club at LaMaMa E.T.C., 74A East 4th Street. With its critically acclaimed score and lyrics, PINS AND NEEDLES is a unique call for social justice and equity. The large repertory of songs includes "Sitting on Your Status Quo," "Sing Me A Song of Social Significance," "It's Not Cricket to Picket," "Chain Store Daisy," and "Four Little Angels of Peace" (representing Eden, later changed to Chamberlain, Mussolini, the Japanese, and Hitler). Skits spoofed everything from Fascist European dictators to bigots in the DAR.
Connecticut-born composer/lyricist Harold Rome (1908-1993) later went on to write several other Broadway hits, including WISH YOU WERE HERE (1952), "FANNY (1954), DESTRY RIDES AGAIN (1959), and I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE (1962).
The title, PINS AND NEEDLES was created by Max Danish, longtime editor of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU)'s newspaper called "Justice." The union sponsored the creation of the revue, which was premiered in 1937 at the Princess Theatre on 39th Street. It ran for over 1100 performances, breaking all Broadway records and continuing until 1941. The original cast was an ensemble called the ILGWU Players - union cutters, dressmakers, embroiderers, sewing machine operators, etc. - who rehearsed after working hours. The play was so enthusiastically positive that the cast quit their day jobs and the production expanded to a full performance schedule of eight shows per week. New songs and skits were introduced every few months to keep the show topical.

Expert: Lindsay Lohan Surveillance Video Sale is 'PR Stunt'
Could this new development kill the prosecutor's case?
The tape shows Lindsay shopping at Kamofie & Co. jewelry store on the day shop owners allege she stole a necklace valued at $2,500. The surveillance tape was sold for more than $35,000 to media outlets, with photos already showing up on ETonline.
Celebuzz spoke with Stuart Slotnick, Managing Partner of Bucanan, Ingersoll and Rooney's New York law office, who says the sale is a "PR stunt."
"I think it's going to affect her case tremendously," he says. "It's really going to help Lindsay. As part of her original defense I would have expected her to say this is a PR stunt by the jewelry store. Now, low and behold, the store sells the tape. Why? To get some more PR. If they sell it, they know it's going to be published. It looks like they're trying to capitalize on the situation. They're trying to get money and they're trying to get as much PR out of [this] as they can. This is really harmful to the owner's credibility."
In addition, Slotnick believes Lindsay could even take action against the store, saying it was a false allegation. However, her attention should first be focused on the current felony case.
The actress was charged with one count of felony grand theft in connection with the stolen goods. She and her legal team have maintained that she was given permission to borrow the necklace and hadn't yet been able to return it to the store. Slotnick says there's "nothing unbelievable" about her claim.
"The actions store owner took are very helpful to her case," he adds. "This may make the prosecutor second think their case and maybe offer a deal that would not include jail … of course if she wins this case outright, she's not going to jail. The actions of selling this tape have increased her chances of being found not guilty."
Linds is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Disappointed: Carnival Liberty Cruise Review by New Canuck Cruiser
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
The biggest disappointment would have to be the quality and even the quantity or availability of the food.
The buffet was closed between lunch and dinner which meant if you did not have lunch before it closed down, you were outta luck unless you wanted yet another pizza (tasteless) or another burger (very good but not something I wanted to have EVERY day).
We dined in the dining room only once because the quality of our meal was so poor we did not want to return. My husband had turkey which was definitely processed and disgusting.
The steak was so undercooked we had to forego that as well.
Also, the supposed unlimited fountain drinks was anything but. Imagine being told that you cannot have 2 Coke's to take with you to your room or to your lounge chair, that you can only order one at a time and must drink the 1st one before you will be given More a second?! My husband is almost 50yrs old and was made to feel like a 6yr old. This meant going to the bar, lining up, getting your single Coke (which by the way was only about 1/2 a can and the other 1/2 was kept at the bar to be used as mix) walking back to your spot in the sun or making your way back to your cabin, drinking your pop and then going back to the bar and asking for a second. Ridiculous after spending almost $50 for the card! Also, if you order one from room service you will be charged $3 because the drink card does not apply!
On a positive note, the cabin was very nice as were the staff and they have long days of hard work and putting up with cranky guests so I give them full credit for being so helpful and friendly! The ship itself is still quite nice so no complaints there.
Our ports of call were: Half Moon Cay (beautiful beach but nothing else), St. Thomas (pretty island, great shopping), San Juan (our favourite for sure and would definitely like to return) and Grand Turk which was a flat almost barren island with nothing more than another beach to sit at.
Embarkation was a lot easier with customer service agents in the past than it is now. Sometimes technology does not make things move faster!
Will we cruise again? Definitely but next time we will try another cruise line. Less

text: I have a 190bhp A4 1.8T. Is it worth changing the air filter element to a make such as K&N. I know power gains are usually minimal, but is it worth the £40 odd quid it will probably cost. I know normal upgrade alternatives can include closed induction kits etc but don't want to bother with any of that as the car is under warranty. Any advice on air filters for this engine would be appreciated.

STAFF at a leading East Lancashire secondary school have delighted Accrington young people with their dancing YouTube version of the global hit Gangnam Style.
The video - which features Mount Carmel RC High head Xavier Bowers in his office and includes several male teachers in the changing rooms clad in towels - has been watched more than 3,000 times.
But it has also left one leading councillor concerned about the message it sends out.
While the school staff's take on the Korean pop song has been a hit with pupils and their friends, former Tory Hyndburn council leader Peter Britcliffe said he was not impressed.
His concerns about the video undermining respect for teachers however have been dismissed by Mr Bowers and governor Monsignor John Daly.
Teachers, cleaners and receptionists at the Accrington school were filmed dancing PSY's trademark gallop throughout the corridors. Staff also stop staged teachers' meetings and surprise children in classrooms.
Staff can be seen dancing in the school minibus, in the sports changing rooms wearing strategically-placed towels, and in the school's reception galloping while throwing imaginary lassoes into the air.
Even a biology class skeleton is seen to try the Gangnam moves.
The YouTube video, named Gangnam Final, carries the message: "You will never see our staff in the same light again!".
The climax of the video sees staff gathering to dance together in the school gym.
Peter Britcliffe said: "I am not a killjoy but I have looked at the piece, which is being discussed all over Accrington. It is the talk of the town's young people.
"Having viewed it myself, while most of it is just good fun, there are parts of it certainly that might not improve the respect there should be between teachers and pupils."
Mr Bowers said: "As far as Mr Britcliffe's comment, I can assure him that this kind of thing strengthens the relationship between teachers, pupils and parents who have given us an overwhelmingly good response. This is a spoof, like the one done by soldiers serving in Afghanistan."
Monsignor Daly said: "It is just a harmless bit of fun."

I'm pretty much a geek when it comes to TV and Movies, I like my stand up edgy, my hip-hop old school and my rock stars dead.
I'll try anything twice - well, you know, I might fuck it up first time...
A good friend once described me as "someone who thinks too much about everything - it's your biggest strength and your greatest weakness". Yeah, that sounds about right.
Aside from that I am basically just human. I like the company of others. I like good food. I like cuddling up on the sofa watching a movie.
(boring answer is I've moved to Reading to be closer to the hospital. Apparently if you find a job you truly love you do that. No regrets so far. Well, apart from at 3am in the Purple Turtle, obviously)
And, my job, apparently. I am amazed by this as anyone.
I am currently without the beard, so lots of people seem to notice that at the moment.
I love going to the cinema and will watch pretty much anything with a decent review/recommended by mates. My Favourite movies are such things as Fight Club, The Tao of Steve, Gross Point Blank, Rocky, and any of the Redbank Kevin Smith films.
I like culty stuff that I can escape into, quote insessantly and get violently defensive of in pub arguments: Seriously, George - just fucking leave the holy trinity alone, ok?
I am currently consuming crap 80s horror movies like they are going out of fashion. And no, I don't know why either.
I tend to go through phases in my reading of lots of non-fiction followed by lots of fiction. I read pretty much anything, including comics; And yes, I'm willing to admit to that in public.
My music collection is an odd mix of dead blues players, terrifying heavy metal, broken up 90s rock bands, and gangsta rap. Oh, and Kate Bush.
Also, why isn't there a games section on this? At the moment I am playing Dark Souls. And Dark Souls 2. And Dark Souls DLC. I think I may have a problem.
Yeah. Well. That's how I feel about Batman.
You look like your profile pics.
You're interested and interesting.

Minister welcomes protection for Archives
Minister welcomes legislative protection for Archives and National Library roles
The Minister Responsible for Archives New Zealand and the National Library, Nathan Guy, has welcomed moves to protect the statutory roles of the Chief Archivist and the National Librarian.
"The State Sector Management Bill will be introduced within the next couple of months, and deals with the integration of Archives New Zealand, the National Library and the Department of Internal Affairs.
"Importantly, the independence and integrity of the Chief Archivist will be preserved. This position will be responsible to the chief executive of the new department and will be protected from any improper influence in performing his or her duties. This is important to maintain the principle of an independent check on government recordkeeping.
"The status and statutory role of the National Librarian will also be preserved. The Chief Librarian of the Alexander Turnbull Library will in future be appointed by the chief executive of the new department, on the recommendation of the National Librarian. The status of the Alexander Turnbull Library will be unchanged.
"Overall the legislative changes are largely technical and minimal. Separate Budget votes and Ministerial roles will continue, and the public will be able to have their voices heard through the select committee process.
"I believe these provisions will satisfy most of the issues raised by stakeholders over the last few months.
"The integration will combine expertise and resources while sharing back office costs and functions. All savings generated by this project will be redirected into frontline services for the public.
"Archives New Zealand and the National Library are important cultural institutions that will continue to be trusted and preserved for future generations."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/4/2013 (1602 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jacob Trouba has signed a contract and will be joining the Winnipeg Jets.
"I am very pleased to announce we've come to terms. He'll be coming to Winnipeg. Jacob will join the team and get acclimated with the club," said Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff Tuesday evening.
Reports began circulating earlier this evening that Trouba had chosen to leave the University of Michigan and turn professional.
Cheveldayoff said Trouba had some things to take care of in Michigan but would be in Winnipeg in the near future.
Trouba was selected ninth overall by the Jets in last year's draft and the 19-year-old is listed at 6-2 and 195 pounds. He had 12 goals and 17 assists in 34 games with the Michigan Wolverines this season.
A finalist for CCHA rookie of the year and the CCHA's best offensive defenceman, Trouba was a first-team CCHA all-star. Trouba won a gold medal with the U.S. national junior team at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship and was also named the tournament's top defenceman.

Receiving their golden popcorn for winning Best Kiss award, the pair fumbles around and bumps heads for a few minutes before Pattinson finally plants a kiss on Stewart's lips.
Awarded the same prize at 2009 MTV Movie Awards, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have once again awkwardly tried to kiss each other when they received their Best Kiss award for their deep kiss in "The Twilight Saga's New Moon". Although at last year event they turned up not kissing each other, they surely did the smooch at 2010 MTV Movie Awards.
Taking the golden popcorn, Pattinson was the first to speak, saying "Thanks a lot guys... it's really nice to win it two years in a row." And Stewart added, "I guess the thing to do, is we're supposed to kiss each other. But to be perfectly honest with you it takes a lot of smoke and mirrors to make us look good at kissing... but we'll give it a shot."
Then, Pattinson and Stewart began to fumble around and bump heads for a few minutes. When the Bella Swan of "Twilight" movie series appeared to be giving up and heading out, Pattinson quickly grabbed her and planted one kiss on her lips. After the action, the Edward Cullen of the vampire saga couldn't stop laughing, while the 20-year-old actress pulled away all shy.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have beaten out their contenders, Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift for their lip-lock in "Valentine's Day", Stewart herself and Dakota Fanning in "The Runaways", Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds for "The Proposal" and Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington for "Avatar".

If you are old enough to collect Social Security or you are entitled to an old-fashioned pension, the likelihood that you will search long and hard for a new job after you lose your old one is low, according to an examination of unemployment statistics from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
The study showed that after nine or fewer months without work, more than 50 percent of workers age 62 or older throw in the job search towel and kick their retirement planning into high gear. "The findings were very surprising to me," says Matthew Rutledge, the research economist who did the study. "The results show that older individuals have little tolerance for a lengthy search. The vast majority either find a job or exit the labor force within a year. Those with financial resources, such as Social Security, leave even sooner."
Rutledge found that people 62 or older are particularly likely to abandon their job hunt and retire if they are not in good health, are women or are married to a spouse who has already retired. The unemployment rate where older workers live doesn't appear to have any significant impact on their decision to choose retirement.
Rutledge says that among workers ages 50 to 61, the picture appears to be different. In that age group, other studies have shown that more than 70 percent continue to job hunt and the ability to claim unemployment insurance keeps this age group even more focused on finding work.
The bottom line: Boomers are retiring and it doesn't take much to convince them to hang up their work boots. "Demographics are going to push us in the direction of overall fewer people working," Rutledge says.
Intuitively, this might sound like good news: Boomers move on and younger people take over. But other research from the center shows that's not true. When older people continue to work, they have more money to spend, and that's good for the overall economy. "More people working means more jobs for everyone," Rutledge says.
To discourage older people from leaving the workforce, Rutledge and the center recommend that the government consider:
- Offering wage subsidies that make hiring older people more attractive for employers and make taking a job more attractive for people who might otherwise choose retirement.
- Extend the earned income tax credit to older non-parents.
- Start government programs that hire older people directly.

Rex Ryan Biography
Rex Ryan joined the Ravens in 1999, eventually earning a promotion to defensive coordinator in 2005. On December 31, 2007, Ravens head coach Brian Billick, along with the entire coaching staff, was fired after a disappointing 5-11 season. Ryan interviewed with the Ravens for their head coaching vacancy, which eventually went to John Harbaugh, despite Ryan having the support of most of the players on the team. Ryan also interviewed with Miami and Atlanta, but Miami hired Tony Sparano, the former assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys, and Atlanta hired Mike Smith, the former defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Harbaugh rehired Ryan as Defensive Coordinator, and gave him a promotion to Assistant Head Coach.
On January 19, 2009, following Baltimore's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Conference Championship, the New York Jets offered Ryan a four-year deal to become their next head coach. He is currently the head coach of the Buffalo Bills.

International Design Visionary Bill Moggridge Headlines 133rd Commencement
May 19, 2011
International design visionary Bill Moggridge delivered the keynote address and received an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts (HDFA) at the 133rd Commencement of the University of the Arts, held May 19, 2011, at the Academy of Music on Philadelphia's Avenue of the Arts.
President Sean T. Buffington presided over the ceremony that featured more than 500 graduates, including Modern Dance senior and President's Award recipient Ashleigh Whitworth, who delivered the valedictory address.
A design pioneer, Moggridge designed the first laptop computer – the Grid Compass – launched in 1982. He is the director of the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and is co-founder of the groundbreaking design firm IDEO. A Royal Designer for Industry, Britain's highest accolade for designers, Moggridge pioneered interaction design and is one of the first people to integrate human factors into the design of software and hardware.
In addition to Moggridge, Emmy Award-winning independent documentary filmmaker Louis J. Massiah also received an HDFA. The founder and executive director of Philadelphia's Scribe Video Center is the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, a Pew Fellowship and two Rockefeller Intercultural Fellowships. Massiah is currently the Eugene M. Lang Visiting Professor for Issues of Social Change at Swarthmore College.
Representing the tradition of educational and artistic excellence that the University's faculty works hard to achieve, this year's Silver Star Outstanding Alumni Award recipients included painter/printmaker Leonard Lehrer '56 and School of Music faculty member Evan Solot '67, MM '75.
Lehrer, whose award-winning work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, served as co-director of the Foundation program at the Philadelphia College of Art (PCA), now the University of the Arts. A Fulbright Scholar, he received his BFA from PCA in 1956 and his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 1960.
The work of Professor and Composition Department Chair Evan Solot has earned accolades and support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the American Composers Forum. He has collaborated, worked and/or toured with such luminaries as Stevie Wonder, Mel Torme, Ben Vereen, Bette Midler, Burt Bacharach and Frank Sinatra. Solot served as lead trumpet in more than 50 Broadway shows and his music underscores the award-winning documentary "Standing in the Shadows of Motown."
Highlights of the 133rd Commencement ceremony included a stellar performance by the UArts' Transfusion Ensemble, who brought the crowd to its feet with a gospel-influenced rendition of "With a Little Help from My Friends," and the irresistible salsa dance troupe Alo Brasil, who closed the ceremony by leading the new graduates and their families back down Broad Street to Hamilton Hall for a post-ceremony celebration.

Fired Infinity Ward bosses Vince Zampella and Jason West's lawsuit has received a response from Activision; the publishing giant has issued an official statement where it expresses its disappointment in the duo, calls their recent legal efforts "meritless."
The full statement reads: "Activision is disappointed that Mr. Zampella and Mr. West have chosen to file a lawsuit, and believes their claims are meritless. Over eight years, Activision shareholders provided these executives with the capital they needed to start Infinity Ward, as well as the financial support, resources and creative independence that helped them flourish and achieve enormous professional success and personal wealth."
"In return, Activision legitimately expected them to honor their obligations to Activision, just like any other executives who hold positions of trust in the company. While the company showed enormous patience, it firmly believes that its decision was justified based on their course of conduct and actions. Activision remains committed to the Call of Duty franchise, which it owns, and will continue to produce exciting and innovative games for its millions of fans."
Activision seems to be on the hunt for documents that might show that West and Zampella were in talks with competitors.
