Stephen Glover: Is Richard Desmond Murdoch's true heir?
Media Studies: Cost-cutting and imitation will only get him so far – but that could be quite a long way
Monday 22 August 2011
For 40 years Rupert Murdoch has been a hate figure for many on the left and some on the right. He has been seen as a relentless populariser and dumber-downer, which of course he often is. But his company has also owned The Times Literary Supplement for 30 years. The Times itself, though admittedly not the paper it once was, is hardly a comic, and Mr Murdoch not long ago paid an enormous sum of money to acquire the upmarket, not to say austere, Wall Street Journal.
I mention all this because Mr Murdoch is obviously a declining force. There is much talk of his British publications, or at any rate the more elevated ones, being sold, with or even without his consent. God alone knows who would buy them. Even if they are not got rid of, the media tycoon is 80, and will not be with us for ever. One way or another, the power he has had over our culture for the past few decades is coming to an end.
As he slides over the horizon, another figure hoves into view, a more complete populariser than Mr Murdoch, someone who has no desire ever to be thought respectable and panders far more single-mindedly to the lowest common denominator. Ludicrous though he may seem, sometimes almost to the point of self-parody, Richard Desmond is the coming media tycoon. Do not underrate him. The influence this erstwhile (and to some degree continuing) pornographer may exert over our culture may never equal Mr Murdoch's, but it is likely to be more malign.
Last week Mr Desmond's Channel Five relaunched Big Brother with a celebrity edition of the show which had a cast including the Speaker's deluded wife, Sally Bercow, and the former pop star Kerry Katona. Though derided by most critics, it attracted an estimated 5.1 million viewers, the network's largest ever audience for a non-sporting event. Whatever slight pretensions it had when broadcast by Channel 4 have been jettisoned, and according to its new presenter, Brian Dowling, it is simply "a prime-entertainment show".
Unlike Mr Murdoch, Mr Desmond is not an originator of ideas, with the possible exception of his pornographic empire. He tends to buy struggling businesses (all of his national newspapers, and Channel Five) and makes them profitable by slashing costs. Or he simply replicates a model, as he did by launching the celebrity magazine OK! in the mould of Hello!, and has done so again in producing a more downmarket version of Big Brother, which I have no doubt is a harbinger of much that will follow on Channel Five.
The most successful media tycoons of the past century – Northcliffe, Hearst, Murdoch – have been innovators, and of course I don't suggest that Mr Desmond is in their class. Cost-cutting and imitation will only get him so far – but that could be quite a long way. It is true that his Express titles are wilting, and I would not be surprised if he goes back to the Mail group to try to offload them at a lower price than he sought on a previous occasion.
On the other hand, Mr Murdoch's closure of the News of the World has ironically given a fillip to Mr Desmond's even more downmarket Daily Star Sunday, whose sales increased by 90 per cent last month. His ultimate prize would be The Sun, if it comes on the market. He could certainly afford it. As owner of a dumbed-down Channel Five and this country's best-selling red-top tabloid, he would be a force to be reckoned with, and Rupert Murdoch's true heir. I certainly know which of them I prefer.
Web postings can be pure sewage
The comedian Robert Webb has given up his weekly column on The Daily Telegraph because he was cast low by abusive online postings. He is of a leftish persuasion, and was upset by nasty comments made beneath his articles by right-wing readers who, he suggests, mostly live in Gibraltar.
Mr Webb is evidently a sensitive chap and, that being so, one wonders why he persisted in reading postings that were bound to make him unhappy. That said, I think he has point. Any columnist who reads online postings is likely to be overborne by the huge amount of them – they can number several hundred, and take a long time to digest – and will almost certainly encounter abusive and even libellous comments which some newspapers scarcely bother to moderate.
The main reason for all this bile, as I have suggested before, is that postings are mostly anonymous. Hiding behind unfathomable aliases, the people who make nasty remarks are safe in the knowledge they can never be identified, and there will be no comeback to them as individuals. The phenomenon has rightly been compared to road rage, where normally respectable and even quite gentle motorists may mouth obscenities and wave their fists at strangers as they speed away to safety.
In the hope of seeming open and responsive, most newspapers encourage their commentators to engage with readers online. In principle this is a good thing. I have sometimes thought again about what I have written after considering a well-argued posting.
But editors can hardly expect their columnists to wade through pure sewage. If existing arrangements continue unreformed, fewer and fewer journalists will read postings beneath their articles, which will, unfortunately, mean that sensible and thoughtful comments will go unread, and their authors will be wasting their time.

Score from 983 reviews Very good
The room was large and extremely clean. The staff friendly and willing to help with a smile. The owner (I believe) was on site to inquire about the comfort of guests.
A bit dark. A more attractive restaurant. Possibly would consider staying in Old Montreal in order to walk to restaurants and other destinations. Cabs are expensive.
Superb location, reasonably priced. Got a room at the back. Quiet!
Worldly wise waitress
No guest laundry, although Best Western confirmed the contrary.
Valet service location
Put us beside the weight room which is open until 10PM, with small children who like to go to bed at 8PM. Of course some fitness nerd decided to work out at 9:30 and you could clearly hear the weights smashing loudly in the room next door. Think about where you put families with small children next time.
Great staff. Especially valet parking crew.
Room carpets a bit worn as is the paint. Needs freshening.
I would like to thank all the staff, particularly Colin, who works overnight i think. He specially made an impression on me. He polite and understanding and handled a bunch of drunk boys very professionally.
central good staff
somewhat runddown
A permanent, acute noise in the room did not allow us to rest well. The hotel could not help.
Hotel location within a short walking distance to the Museum of Fine Arts.
Staff on the front desk were very professional an courteous whilst at the same time as being extremely busy. My room was very comfortable and in a good state of decoration. I would definitely stay here again for leisure. I was on the 17th floor and the lifts were quick in comparison to some hotels in Montreal I've stayed in.
The guest room doors seemed to slam a lot and could benefit from being sprung. But this was a minor irritation.
Clean and comfortable room. Restaurant was good and café great. Staff go above and beyond especially concierge Mike. Good location.
The Hotel is welcoming from its lobby , its staff, and the lovely room we were allocated to. The bed, especially, was sooooo comfortable.
Parking in the area is so expensive, and we made a mistake not taking the opportunity for valet parking at $25.00. Ended up paying double for a parking garage down the street.
The room exceeded my expectations. Very spacious, very clean, with the most comfortable beds and pillows I've had in along time. location was very central within walking distance to everything.
Parking was expensive. would have been better value if parking was included with price or if there was complimentary breakfast.
Proximity to McGill.
Needs paint job and general refreshing. Smells stale. No self-park option - valet only at $25/day.
The location was great. I had family visiting from Italy for the first time seeing Montreal. All within walking distance to shopping and restaurants.
The daily parking fee was somewhat expensive. You could hear the traffic noise from the room on the 5th floor.
The room was very nice with a large LED, 2 Queens and a large bathroom. The Valet/Bellman was very nice and helpful. On the day of departure we still wanted to shop and were able to leave our bags at the hotel in storage, for free and pay an additional fee of $15 to remain parked. It's 2 blocks from St.Catherine so its not as busy where the hotel is, but a short walk to the action. Two Starbucks and a Second Cup within two blocks of the hotel :) oohh and a great bakery on Peel just before St. Catherine...location location location
I am a light sleeper and the traffic was fairly loud in the morning...not a big deal for business travellers. That is something one expects when staying in any downtown hotel...not a biggie. Not really anything that stood out to me as a negative. I guess a microwave to go along with the refrigerator would've been nice...but then I am reaching.
Excellent location, next to McGill University, blocks away from the arts district and not far from shops and restaurants in the heart of downtown. Staff were especially friendly and helpful
Facilities need a bit of upgrading
Location is good.
Noisy guests slamming doors and yelling in the halls for almost an hour between 430 and 530 am. No sign of any hotel security as I lay awake contemplating whether to call and complain... Should I have to at $250 a night? Can somebody not invent a hotel door that doesn't slam? Room carpet dark coloured but looks like it could use a good shampoo but hotels like to use dark colours to mask what lurks. I travel a lot and this Best Western was disappointing. Had potential but an indifferent staff and overworked valets mean I will look elsewhere next time in Montreal.
The room, bed and cleanliness were great. Location to downtown eateries awesome. The General Manager, Mr. Zikry, was so personable. Obviously cares about what he does and hires staff who emulate him.
Have to have patience due to off-site parking, but many downtown city hotels have the same issue.
Staff is always very friendly, they remember your name! Breakfast is great in the little cafe.
Location Decor and cleanliness Staff were acommodating
Pricey - a lot of money per night plus parking fees Over priced cafe
Very comfortable bed, clean washroom.
The rate was a bit high for what I got.
Fantastic hotel location and staff were very friendly.
Staff were great
Location close to Saint Catherine St., excellent restaurants and metro.

At The Sugar Shack, aestheticians neatly trim nails, wax limbs, pamper faces, and massage backs to help clients unwind from the stresses of daily life. To soothe skin that is inflamed, red, and itchy because of harsh weather or afternoon naps on a beehive, the beauty specialists slather it in a gentle cleanser and calming mask in the Environmental Control facial. Aromatherapy massages rely on essential oils to soothe aching muscles, and gooey paraffin hydrates hands and feet during mani-pedis. The spa exclusively uses Dermalogica elixirs—a product line free of common irritants and ingredients that can cause breakouts.
Warm, shallow water and steady winds make for ideal learning conditions at Locust and Hunter Beaches, where Bellingham KitePaddleSurf's instructors enlighten folks on all board-related sports. They teach students of all ability levels the skills they need to kiteboard, wakeboard, surf, and paddleboard. Their private lessons allow for one-on-one instruction, so new students can get the hang of basics, while more advanced students can master kite-boarding tricks, catch larger waves, and lasso orca whales for an extra-fast ride. Their shop, meanwhile, outfits visitors with a huge inventory of gear, boards, and accessories.
Since 1962, owner and U.S. Coast Guard?licensed captain Terry Buzzard has gotten to know the San Juan Islands and surrounding miles of water pretty well. Having hauled mail for the Post Office, salvaged wrecks, assisted in oil spill cleanups, and ferried passengers throughout the San Juan Islands, he has built quite a resum? of seafaring. This relationship with water isn't so surprising considering he began boating at the age of 3 when he was allowed to pilot a single-horsepower boat by himself with his trained rescue dog, Rusty.
Regardless of the actual job he's performing, Terry is always drawn to whales. By 1978, this fascination lead him to chartering trips specifically for whale watching, especially toward the schools of orca that made the region their home. Looking back, he's pretty certain his boat was the only one in the area at the time dedicated to the thrill of witnessing some of the world's largest and most beautiful animals. Today, the waters are spotted with various boats filled with passengers snapping pictures of the great aquatic beasts and shouting ululations whenever one smacks its enormous tail against the water, takes a playful leap, or belts a Mariah Carey song.
Terry's boat, the 110-foot Island Caper, provides generous sightlines to all passengers via its spacious outdoor deck and ample indoor viewing areas, and is decked out with a 34-speaker sound system. In business for 52 years, Island Mariner Whale Watching's unparalleled time and experience on the water offers cruise-goers an ideal experience, and also employs a seaplane to help spot whales and guide tours. With his chief navigator??a 7-year-old airedale terrier also named Rusty??Terry is right out there amid the excitement, ferrying whale watchers and sharing his life-long passion.
Basketball season isn't the most important time for a player according to Coach Isaac Watson: it's the off-season. To keep kids' skills sharp, Coach Isaac hosts year-round clinics and camps through BBallers United. Though geared toward boys and girls ages 13–18, sessions are open to young athletes of all ages and experience levels looking to enrich their game. Under Coach Isaac's tutelage, ballers exhaust themselves with drills that hone individual quickness, ball handling, and proper shooting technique. And since the game is as much psychological as it is physical, students learn tricks for handling the pressure that comes from playing intimidating players or teams. That being said, players do sample some on-court action during scrimmages meant to instill fundamental team dynamics.
Otion's experienced staff helps aspiring soap makers fashion customized bars using Bramble Berry products. During each instructive session ($8), guests venture to the soap bar to choose from a variety of fragrances, colors, and molds for their rubber ducky's newest companion. Soap bases (average range of $3.25–$4 for 16 oz., or four bars of soap) amalgamate with your custom ingredients to form a take-home bar in less than an hour (soap bases are free for kids age 12 and younger), and a helpful soap master fields suds-related questions or ankle-hygiene-related concerns.

Having purchased the latest Hockey Prospectus 2012/13 Annual -- which comes highly recommended to anyone who regularly frequents this blog; especially at the ridiculously low price of $9.90 to download the PDF version – I can tell you that one of the key features that I look forward to reading the most is its Core Age analysis. We see references to a team's average age thrown around lazily all the time without pause or regard for its limitations. Don't get me wrong, there's value to be had in going young at the NHL level. It's a young man's game these days, so at least on the surface, it seems natural to associate or equate an abundance of youth with future success. But just like a 69-year-old Canadian Senator's marriage to a 23-year-old showed us in the real world, going young isn't necessarily all it is cracked up to be. In the NHL, not all players are created equal (which is why "man games lost to injury" can be misleading) and as such, if your roster is rid...

According to The Telegraph on Tuesday, "Star Trek's" Simon Pegg and former director-to-be of "Ant-Man", Edgar Wright, are confirmed to be working together on a new movie. During an interview, Pegg made such a confirmation that the film already has a title and some may have remembered previous films in which they had worked together on "Shaun of the Dead", "Hot Fuzz", and "The World's End." This trio of movies was also deemed the film buzz word "The Cornetto Trilogy."
In these three movies, Pegg was also paired up with Nick Frost during the past 10 years of filming such a trilogy. However, Pegg did clarify this next film would not be an addendum in order to make it a tetralogy. In fact, further clarification by Pegg revealed that when it was mentioned those series of films were over, it was because those types of movies had been concluded. Apparently, it all had a specific criteria.
"When we said the trilogy was over, it was because that group of films was over. They're all kind of related with each other and deal with a specific idea. There's a criteria to those films."
Pegg gave no clue if Frost would be in future films with the "Star Trek: Into Darkness" star and also gave no indication when the new film will go into production. At this time, it was only indicated that Wright and Pegg were working on other projects now.
Marvel fans may have recalled Wright having been selected quite some time ago to direct the "Ant-Man" film, but due to creative differences on the script that had been produced to the executives, Wright decided not to go through with the project. Director Peyton Reed had recently taken over the project as additional actors, John Slattery of "Mad Men" and Judy Greer of "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes", make their way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
For those fans that would like to be pacified for the time being, it seems this duo of Pegg and Frost will be starring from their previous roles of "Shaun of the Dead." It will be of an animated variety while Pegg, who will be voicing Shaun, will be teaming up with the currently zombie-infected Frost this coming Fall.


text: Bollywood News Emraan Hashmi: 'Shanghai Is The Boldest Film Of My Career' By MovieTalkies.com, 13 June 2012 12:00 AM IST Emraan Hashmi who's received accolades for his portrayal of Jogi Parmar in Dibakar Banerjee's recently released film Shanghai, is all praise for the political thriller. Emraan has stated that Shanghai is one of the most important films of his career. Addressing the media Hashmi recently said, "Traditional Bollywood films, are easy to make you just have to add a few ingredients and it's easy to recover the cost of the film. Shanghai, in my opinion is the boldest film I've done in my career on the concept level. Shanghai deconstructed the image I was stereotyped in. It has showcased a new Emraan Hashmi. I think it was very shocking for people to see me in the role of Jogi Parmar. So after this I want that whatever characters I do, they should be as unpredictable as a character like Jogi Parmar as I always like to surprise the audiences with my films and characters and I want to do more roles like this." Though Shanghai didn't set the cash registers ringing in the theaters on its release day, the film is now attracting audience, "We have made a film which breaks the convention, so yes for this kind of film we started off slow on a Friday but the appreciation we have received from the audiences, the jump that the film received on Saturday and Sunday and the kind of response that I've got from SMSs and calls and the trade also saying that on Sunday we recovered the cost of the film. I think it's a win win situation for the entire team," said the 33-year-old actor. "I think this kind of film needs to be nurtured, needs your support so that there are more film's like Shanghai. I've been in this industry for 7 years now and I've seen that audiences have different tastes. I want to be an actor who pitches his films to everyone," he further added rooting for the film. In future Emraan will be seen in films like Raaz 3, Ghanchakkar and Ek Thi Daayan. Previous 1 Next Tags : Emraan Hashmi | Shanghai This div will be replaced AVG.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
... know when to fold 'em
Pinky and the Brain creators may have modified wrong gene
In the cartoon series named after them, Pinky and the Brain, two laboratory mice genetically enhanced to increase their intelligence plot to take over the world -- and fail each time. Perhaps their creators hadn't tweaked the correct gene. Researchers have now found a genetic mutation that causes mammalian neural tissue to expand and fold. The discovery may help explain why humans evolved more elaborate brains than mice, and it could suggest ways to treat disorders such as autism and epilepsy that arise from abnormal neural development.
In mice and humans alike, the cerebral cortex -- the outermost layer of brain tissue associated with high-level functions such as memory and decision-making -- starts out as a spherical sheet of tissue made up of only neural stem cells. As these stem cells divide, the cortex increases its surface area, expanding like an inflating balloon, says neuroscientist Victor Borrell of the Institute of Neurosciences of Alicante in Spain. Unlike the small, smooth mouse brain, however, the uppermost layers of tissue in the human brain cram millions of neurons into specialized folds and furrows responsible for complex tasks such as language and thought. Because the human cerebral cortex is generally considered "special," some scientists have hypothesized that the genes that govern its development of cortical folds and furrows are also unique to humans, Borrell says.
In 2012, scientists got their first hint that a gene called TRNP1 might influence brain development in both mice and humans. The discovery came from a dissertation by Ronny Stahl, who conducted his doctoral research in the lab of co-author Magdalena Gtz at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. In studies of neural development in mice, Stahl found that TRNP1 produces a protein that determines whether neural stem cells self-replicate, leading to a balloonlike expansion of cortical surface area, or whether they differentiate into a plethora of intermediate stem-cell types and neurons, thickening the cortex and forming more complex brain structures. Based on that discovery, the team hypothesized that varying levels of the gene's expression in mice and humans might account for the varying levels of cortical thickness and different shapes between the two species.
To test their theory, the researchers investigated what would happen to fetal mouse brains if they interfered with TRNP1 expression using synthetic sequences of genetic material that silenced the gene, a technique called RNA interference. The tiny fetal mouse brains developed cortical folds, the authors reported last week in Cell. The "most exciting" part of the discovery was that "just by varying how much of this gene is expressed, we are able to have folds in the cortex," Borrell says.
The researchers also analyzed samples of human neural tissue from embryos that had been stored by a hospital pathologist. The team found lower levels of TRNP1 in areas that were destined to form folds, and higher levels in areas that would not have developed them, suggesting that the protein produced by the gene inhibits more complex brain development in humans as well as in mice. Although the developmental stages they analyzed in the human embryos -- gestation weeks eight to nine and 17 to 18 -- occur before the folds begin to appear, Borrell says, the varying levels of gene expression provide an "instruction for something to occur."
The findings go against a common conception that "dumber species will have different genes" for brain development than more intelligent species, Borrell says. He adds that the mechanism could help explain how New World monkeys, with their small, smooth brains, could have evolved from an ancestor with a bigger and more folded brain. "It's not a linear evolution from small, simple, smooth brains to large, gyrated brains," he says. The research could also lead to better diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as microcephaly and autism, which arise from a misfolded cortex, he says.
"These are surprising and interesting findings," says Arnold Kriegstein, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco. "Clearly, this is a model for both human as well as mouse development." The next step, he says, is to investigate how embryonic mouse brains with induced folds develop as they mature past the fetal stages of development and to look across species to see if the gene has similar effects in other mammals. "It is important to pursue this further," he says.

Quiet but handy to everything and just a block or so away from the wharf where all the big boats are moored. Also just a five minute walk to the main bus station. Great to see complimentary tea and coffee on offer all day. Finally, the pool is such a nice change from swimming at the beach.
Staff are just fantastic- not just nice but appear to understand traveller and questions very well with honest and concise answers
Perfect location! Excellent breakfast and the rooms were very clean. Not easy to find the first time so ask for directions before going.
The shower was really really tiny!
location. Cleanliness hospitality
small bed
Everything has been great. We stayed longer because it's been a real gem. Quiet spot, but right in the middle of everything. Staff has been very accommodating on all requests.
Rooms were clean and the facilities were great
When i ordered food the staff kept calling my room phone while I was asleep. Then when I didn't answer they came to the room knocking on the door. they weren't very organised. Room service closes at 9pm when I call at 8.15 to get dinner they already closed the kitchen. The staff told me breakfast was at 6.30am and they didn't start serving until 7.30am.
Really small. The pool was outside our front door. Breakfast the other side of the pool. It felt really peaceful and quiet in the middle of a very busy town. It's a few minutes walk to the bus station and a few more to the seafront. The staff, all of them, were really helpful and friendly. We absolutely loved it.
Wi-Fi a bit slow sometimes
* swimming pool - excellent indeed *breakfast *service *friendly welcome
*avenue of approach
Had a fantastic time. Great staff Good clean rooms Nice breakfasts Excellent location
Great staff, really helpful and spoke english well Lovely hotel really clean Great wifi
Rooms are on the smaller side and the shower was a little uncomfortable, but well equipped and modern
The front desk was very helpful and the rest of the staff were excellent also. Great location!
Great Location - Walking distance to shops, dining, and the harbor. The staff served us watermelon by the pool - a nice touch.
The breakfast was average.
Location, very quiet and peaceful even though in middle of town. Nice good sized pool and excellent helpful staff.
Excellent hotel. Very close to city center (walking distance) but really quiet, without traffic noise. Very clean rooms, nice swimming-pool and good breakfast. Pour les Français, je vous recommande vraiment cette adresse.
A bit hard to find (very small street). But once you now the way, you will really appreciate the location. Un peu compliqué à trouver la première fois car situé au bout d'une petite impasse donnant elle-même sur une ruelle. Mais c'est justement ce qui lui vaut un tel calme si près du centre. Une fois qu'on connait le chemin, ça en vaut vraiment la peine...
Otel stuffs were really friendly and helpfull. They have a special area for car parking. Not in the hotel, but in a close car park. If you are staying in the hotel, you are free of charge for otopark. Because Bodrum center is small, it is hard to find a free area to park your car. I really like this system they serve.
There was no balcony in the room.
Great staff! Great pool. Delicious breakfast. We returned 3 times it was so nice. Convenient location near main bus station or Otogar
The welcome you received .They were always accommadating.Our flights were late and they let us stay in our rooms so we could freshen up .Should I visit Bodrum again that would be the first hotel I would call .
Very nice small hotel in bodrum city centre, in walking distance from the beautiful promenade. Nice breakfast. Very quite and clean, personnel exceptionally friendly. Free parking!
Very nice,very clean,exceptional service. Beautiful pool,nice flat screen t.v.,good shower and cool air conditioner. No complaints.
Central location Cleanliness Very friendly staff
Breakfast was poor
Le service est excellent. Le personnel très sympa et serviable. L'hôtel est en plein centre-ville. The staff was very nice, very friendly. The hotel is in the city center. The morning breakfast was very good. Resepsiyon / kat hizmetleri / temizlik / yemekler / restoran servisi / personel herşey mükemmeldi.
Sevmediğım birşey yoktu.
Great location close to centre of city and marina. Hotel room had everything we needed plus a small balcony overlooking the pool. The hotel reception were very helpful.
Tidying (noisily) the breakfast room and our table while we were still eating and we were there at approx 8.30 so we weren't last minute breakfasters. A supervisor came in and realised it was noisy so they stopped doing it which was great.
Location and Service were excellent. Quiet place with a great pool and breakfast.
Really think they should put a Top Sheet on the beds!
it was very central, though somehow very peaceful and calm. staff was very helpful in every way, i had a great experience, i wont bother to look for any other places to stay at my visits to Bodrum next time and recommend it to everyone.
In a very quiet area and once you do find the hotel remember some landmarks as can be a bit awkward to find at night after a long dinner!! Helpful staff we are staying again there this weekend.
Poor wi-fi in our room but not a train smash. Shower in our room to small, if I was a loose forward I would have a real problem!!

Pa. playground closed due to chicken manure spillSeptember 11, 2013 @ 8:37 am
MEYERSDALE, Pa. (AP) - A southwestern Pennsylvania borough has indefinitely closed a playground because of lingering contamination from a chicken manure spill last month.
The (Somerset) Daily American ( http://bit.ly/18c0rNW) reports the Meyersdale borough council voted Tuesday night to close the Paul E. Fuller playground.
The manure spilled on a hill above the playground Aug. 23, and water flows onto the playground when it rains, apparently carrying bacteria from the manure. Borough workers treated the area with lime, but say bacteria counts including salmonella haven't decreased.
Councilman Roger Miller says his own unscientific methods have confirmed those findings saying, "My nose tells me there's a problem out there."
Miller asked a borough worker about the results of recent bacteria tests and says he was told, "You don't want to know."

Metamorphosis: Titian 2012, Royal Opera House, London / Play Without Words, Sadler's Wells, London
The Royal Ballet director signs off with the most exciting new triple bill in memory, inspired by great works of art
Sunday 22 July 2012
Cooks you can have too many of, ditto choreographers, so it was surely asking for trouble to cram seven of them into the making of three ballets. One can only think that Dame Monica Mason, in her final impresarial fling before retiring from the Royal Ballet, couldn't bear to leave anyone out. This was a project whose logistics would have tied even Diaghilev in knots: seven choreographers, three visual artists, three composers ... But against all odds, Metamorphosis: Titian 2012 – a bold response to a trio of paintings in the National Gallery – is a magnificent vindication of Mason's low-key leadership style. It's quite simply the most exciting new triple bill in memory. What a way to go.
Titian's paintings focus on Ovid's story of Diana and Actaeon. He, out hunting with his hounds, spies on the goddess bathing in a woodland glade. She, enraged by his presumption, turns him into a stag which his dogs promptly tear to pieces. Three contemporary artworks on this theme are on display in the National Gallery and these, in turn, have morphed into settings for the ballets.
In Machina, the curtain rises on shrouded grey-black mystery. The music is Nico Muhly's, a plangent Renaissance pastiche. Through gauze, you can just make out two silhouetted figures, and, little by little, something hard-edged. This turns out to be artist Conrad Shawcross's robot, mounted on a steel tripod, its articulated, horsey neck topped by a long proboscis like a magic wand. Gaps in the music betray its wheezing whir as the robot stealthily draws shapes in the air, suggesting the busy hand of Titian as well as Diana's disrobing, though in the foreground Tamara Rojo and Leanne Benjamin also obliquely share that role.
The choreographers Wayne McGregor and Kim Brandstrup are chalk and cheese, but in tandem each one's defining qualities soften and merge. Carlos Acosta is rather wasted on his floorbound steps, but Edward Watson is extraordinary in his bonelessness. The robot's moves, meanwhile, are put through the same choreographic process. It's transfixing.
The middle piece, Trespass, ups the tempo with a tom-tom driven score by Mark-Anthony Turnage. The centrepiece of Mark Wallinger's set is a gleaming glass curve like a snazzy lift shaft which serves beautifully as the pool in which Diana and her nymphs disport themselves. Christopher Wheeldon's input registers loud and clear in a series of heart-stopping pas de deux, Melissa Hamilton leading a succession of three Dianas oozing sexy hauteur.
Diana and Actaeon, which uses three choreographers and big-bodied music by Jonathan Dove (almost Wagnerian with its crowding brass and rippling harp) is the only narrative treatment, setting the mythic encounter in a Pop Art forest (Chris Ofili), with a comically loping corps of piebald hounds. Wistfully, the story toys with other, happier, outcomes. At one point it looks as if Marianela Nunez's athletic, orange-wigged feminist might succumb. In the end, though, as we know he must, Federico Bonelli's would-be lover meets his fate as Pedigree Chum.
Cautiously perhaps, Metamorphosis was slated for only four nights, but it's sure to be back for many more. Grab it when it comes.
Fans of Matthew Bourne have waited 10 years for a revival of Play Without Words, his tense, stylish, somewhat sinister take on the gender and class-bound mores of the 1960s, loosely based on Joseph Losey's film The Servant. In Bourne's story, moneyed Anthony buys a Chelsea pad and hires a butler and a maid to pour his Scotch and iron his Y-fronts, until the rumblings of the sexual revolution conspire to turn the tables.
Bourne's dastardly clever twist is to double- or triple-cast some scenes, so we might see up to three Anthonys interacting with three versions of his posh-totty fiancée. Sometimes they move in synch – drumming fingers on a table, straightening a tie. At other times one couple might represent another's wishful thinking, one Anthony getting a goodnight peck, while another gets a full-on snog. As with all Bourne's best work, the detail and the humour is delicious. A game of charades, crisply timed to Terry Davies's fabulous jazz score, is alone worth the price of the ticket.

September 10, 2014
For those of you that have been wondering about his whereabouts, Christian is definitely still with WWE. In fact, he has reportedly been medically cleared to make a return for quite some time now.

September 9, 2014
Rumors surfaced over the weekend that Michael Elgin had backstage heat on him from management over comments that he made about wanting to take a break from ROH and trying out for professional baseball in the near future.
