THE NOTE: Opening Night for Thompson

Bookmark The Note at

Just in time for Fred Thompson to enter (stage right), here's a handy cheat sheet for him, in case he's been too busy chillin' with George Allen, Liz Cheney, and Spencer Abraham to bone up on the gang he's sharing the spotlight with this afternoon:

Rudy Giuliani will be the guy who speaks too fast (though no longer too loose). Likes to talk about: 9/11, tax cuts, the Yankees (though maybe not so much today), Hillary Clinton. Doesn't like to talk about: abortion, gun control, lightning, James Dobson.

Mitt Romney will be the guy with the million-dollar smile (and multi-million-dollar wallet). Likes to talk about: the Olympics, tax cuts, his hair, abortion (now). Doesn't like to talk about: abortion (circa 1994 and 2002), religion (his own), car trips with pets.

John McCain is the guy who looks like John McCain. Likes to talk about: drunken sailors, the "Straight Talk Express," "my friends." Doesn't like to talk about: immigration, fund-raising, polls, George W. Bush.

Mike Huckabee is the funny one -- laugh at his jokes. Ron Paul will say something about the Framers -- probably best to condemn it. Sam Brownback is the religious one -- nod approvingly when he speaks. Tom Tancredo will link immigration to a question about the nuclear non-proliferation -- agree with him, though not too vigorously. Duncan Hunter is also a candidate for president. No, we're serious, he is.

As for you, Fred, you're the star -- for better or worse. Name your acting cliché -- it's showtime, opening night, the big debut, and Thompson, R-Tenn., needs to break a leg. Will he dazzle the crowd with a mastery of details matched only by his physical presence, as he looms over a stage populated by semi-anonymous white men? Or will he stammer something about "American values" and crack a flat joke about the good ol' days, while flubbing questions on the AMT and welfare reform?

Here's already been panned by everyone from Robert Novak and George Will (and Richard Nixon) to the writers on "Saturday Night Live." Now -- in part because he waited as long as he did to jump into the race, and in part because these sorts of forums need to belong to him -- Thompson will be judged harshly on his performance.

ABC's Christine Byun sees Thompson downplaying expectations (is that really necessary in this case?): "I am a little -- probably a little rusty -- on my sound-bite responses," Thompson told reporters. "These other guys are polished, they're very smooth in their responses, they've had a lot of practice, so I just hope I can hang in there with them." Byun points out that his speaking style hasn't won him rave reviews yet -- but at least he's used to speaking without notes.

Look for some policy specifics -- and, of course, plenty of style -- when Thompson takes the stage. "I think our goals are to look presidential and to build on this feeling that people feel comfortable with this notion of Fred Thompson as president," Bill Lacy, Thompson's campaign manager," told The Tennessean's Bill Theobald. "And to look substantive." (Is that different than BEING substantive?)

"Much of the focus will be on the former actor and whether he can seize the moment, not only to distinguish himself from the rest of the field but also to rebut accusations that he is too lazy, too ill-prepared and too vague to be the GOP nominee," writes The Washington Post's Michael Shear. But it's just remotely possible that a candidacy won't be made or broken at an economic debate in Michigan that airs on CNBC at 4 pm ET on a Tuesday. Adds Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention (who always seems to have nice things to say about Thompson): "He may have Reagan's Teflon quality."

Maybe the low expectations are just what the doctor (or the admiral) ordered. "All he has to do is not fall asleep. All he has to do is not throw up. All he has to do is not drool," Politico's Roger Simon writes. "Never has there been an opportunity for any candidate to surprise his critics more."

At least President Nixon isn't alive to weigh in. His assessment of Thompson? "Oh s---, that kid," Nixon said on White House tapes when told of his appointment as a Watergate counsel, ABC's Brian Ross reports. "He's dumb as hell. . . . He isn't very smart, is he? . . . But he's friendly." And this from White House counsel Fred Buzhardt, in 1973: "He said he realized his responsibility was going to have to be as a Republican increasingly." No comment from the Thompson campaign.

On the Democratic side -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's Iran vote is looking more like a rare misstep from the frontrunner, at least from the standpoint of the Democratic primary. It's at least giving her rivals some running room to exploit her perceived strength: foreign policy.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., picked up on former senator John Edwards' line of attack yesterday: "Her willingness to once again extend to the president the benefit of the doubt I think indicates that she hasn't fully learned some of the lessons that we saw back in 2002," Obama, told ABC's Sunlen Miller. (How much does David Axelrod wish Obama hadn't missed that vote? "Well it wasn't a close vote," Obama said. Neither was the Iraq war resolution, but that one was sort of important, wasn't it, senator?)

Still, it's not a distraction Clinton, D-N.Y., needs. "Already on the defense for her vote to authorize use of force against Iraq, the Democratic presidential frontrunner now has another vote to defend among the anti-war liberal Democratic base," ABC's Jake Tapper writes. Tapper also explores the language that's whipped up all this controversy: "the issue, these Clinton opponents say, is the linkage of Iran and Iraq in legislation -- not the declaration that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are terrorists."

The New York Times' Adam Nagourney sees the Iran vote through the prism of a campaign run on caution. "In trying to appeal both to the Democrats' liberal base and to a more centrist general-election audience, Mrs. Clinton, like her husband before her, risks feeding into the assessment of critics that she is more about political calculation than about conviction," Nagourney writes.

"The campaign is entering what promises to be a turbulent period in which Mrs. Clinton will come under greater attack from both inside and outside her party," Nagourney continues. "And if past campaigns are any guide, this will also be a time of 'Clinton in trouble' accounts in the press, inspired by missteps or any signs of slippage, real or merely perceived."

With that added to new questions about her ties to Sandy Berger -- a "friend" now best known for swiping documents from the National Archives, though he has no formal role with the campaign -- now is a great time to climb aboard the "Middle Class Express." Next up: Clinton delivers an 11 am ET speech on "retirement security" today in Iowa (and we notice she didn't take any questions from voters yesterday).

Clinton "has toned down her message of 'change' over the last few days," The Washington Post's Anne Kornblut reports. "Instead, she is rolling across Iowa in a campaign bus with the [words] 'Middle Class' emblazoned across the side -- a not so subtle signal of her shift in emphasis."

Check out this bit of positioning: Clinton thinks NAFTA should be reevaluated and "adjusted," as she "distanced herself Monday from one of her husband's signature White House achievements," per USA Today's Susan Page. Clinton tells Page: "Part of leadership is continuing to evaluate what we currently do to figure out if we can do it better."

Clinton is advancing an economic agenda that includes expanded college scholarships, more 401(k)s, and ways for homeowners to avoid foreclosure. "Many of Mrs. Clinton's proposals are familiar, but they have been packaged into what she calls 'a new economic blueprint for a 21st century economy,' " Jackie Calmes reports in The Wall Street Journal. She also is ruling out a special tax to pay for the war, and is distancing herself from the proposal she floated last month for $5,000 "baby bonds." "Mrs. Clinton said her priorities for health care, deficit reduction and energy alternatives 'are really more pressing,' " Calmes writes.

Something is working for Clinton: The Boston Globe's Sasha Issenberg sees her doing something that was thought to be undoable: Shifting negative perceptions of her that had baked in over 15 years. "For at least a decade, the inflexibility of voter attitudes toward Clinton had come to be treated as an immutable law of American politics," he writes. "Yet over the summer, some voters appear to have changed their minds about the senator. On the key question asked by pollsters -- do you view her favorably or unfavorably? -- the numbers ticked in small but significant ways in Clinton's direction."

Obama, meanwhile, rolled out his energy plan yesterday -- complete with the requisite swipe at inaction during the Clinton years. "The energy speech was the latest effort by Mr. Obama to cast himself as a critic of how business has been conducted in Washington," The New York Times' Jeff Zeleny writes. "Though he did not mention his campaign rivals by name, Mr. Obama criticized those who opposed gradual increases in gasoline mileage standards for cars, which included Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York."

Obama is seeking "to spark a debate that he hopes will generate more light than heat: phase out the old-fashioned incandescent light bulb by 2014," ABC's David Wright reports. "The idea comes as part of Obama's comprehensive energy strategy unveiled today in New Hampshire. It's a dossier that would do Al Gore proud -- thick with proposals that he says would cut greenhouse emissions by the carbon load."

This one hurts: The SEIU has decided against making a national endorsement in the Democratic primary, saying there are too many good candidates to choose from. But this also just about says that the union isn't convinced that Edwards, D-N.C., can win. "The long-anticipated announcement is a setback for former Sen. John Edwards, the North Carolina Democrat who came close to scoring the nod," Christina Bellantoni writes in the Washington Times.

"Sometimes no news is the worst news of all," Tim Dickinson writes on his Rolling Stone blog. He quotes top SEIU official Anna Burger as telling him earlier this year about the union's "special relationship" with Edwards. Dickinson writes: "With his modest fundraising to finish the third quarter, and recent slippage in the polls in Iowa, Edwards really needed this kind of momentum booster."

While Edwards dials up the rhetorical heat on Iran, he's not worried about the polls. "People look much more intensely at you as a candidate the closer you get to the caucuses, and a lot of the celebrity fades away," he said in Iowa, per the Des Moines Register's Jonathan Roos. "So I think, as a practical matter, that bodes well." (So he doesn't want to be a celebrity?) And this: "I lived through the inevitability of Howard Dean."

And Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., was talking about policy when he referenced Hillary Clinton's "old stuff," right? Well -- kind of sort of. "It's really not her fault," Biden tells The New York Times' Michael Cooper. "But you know, and people know, there is going to be that great 'vast right wing conspiracy' -- it's going to mobilize. And I think people are going to start sitting there thinking, whoa, wait a minute. Do we want to go there again?" And on that Iran resolution (which he voted against): "The idea of giving the president an excuse to be able to go to war with Iran I found absolutely mindless."

Also in the news:

When former mayor Rudolph Giuliani, R-N.Y., starts railing against Hillary Clinton this afternoon, remember that he not-so-secretly wants her to look like the inevitable nominee, writes's Chris Cillizza. "He needs her a lot more than she needs him these days," he writes. "The stronger that Clinton looks in the Democratic primary -- and she looks pretty darn strong at the moment -- the more Giuliani's 'head over heart' appeal to conservatives will resound." (This is all well and good -- but where does Hizzoner stand on the pressing matter of Joe Torre's fate?)

The Chicago Tribune's Tim Jones profiles former governor Mitt Romney, R-Mass. "Is the smartest guy in the room trying too hard to prove to GOP voters that he's what they want him to be?" Jones writes. Here's a comparison Romney won't like, on the subject of shifting positions: "The changes have provoked the inevitable comparisons to the resolute George Romney."

Beware the latest e-mail hoax, Iowans: Bob Vander Plaats, Iowa chairman for former governor Mike Huckabee's, R-Ark., campaign, says he is "not leaving my guy any time." The e-mail says that Vander Plaats has become a Romney supporter.

While the national media swarms, Thompson is charming the pants off of local media outlets, right? Wrong, blogger Jennifer Rubin argues, as she sums up the ways he's been panned in New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida. "While it is always convenient and indeed a crowd pleaser with conservatives to blame the national media, in this case the perception seems to extend to all corners of the press and across the political spectrum," Rubin writes. "As an actor, Thompson should know that the fault may lie not in the stars (or the Tribunes or the Posts) but in himself."

Time to wake up the liberal blogosphere. "Two months after insisting that they would roll back broad eavesdropping powers won by the Bush administration, Democrats in Congress appear ready to make concessions that could extend some crucial powers given to the National Security Agency," Eric Lichtblau and Carl Hulse write in The New York Times. "Although willing to oppose the White House on the Iraq war, [Democrats] remain nervous that they will be called soft on terrorism if they insist on strict curbs on gathering intelligence."

For what it's worth (not a lot), former mayor Ed Koch, D-N.Y., doesn't like Obama's reason for not wearing a flag pin: "Does he now believe the United States response of waging war in Afghanistan after 9/11 was wrong? Does he believe the U.S. flag now belongs only to supporters of the war against Iraq, which war he opposed?" Koch writes in his weekly commentary, per the New York Daily News' Elizabeth Benjamin. But he still thinks Clinton will choose Obama as her running mate.

It looks like the four-state "pledge" is being taken seriously: It's not just the candidates but their spouses, too, who are shunning Florida. All are skipping this month's state Democratic convention, the Miami Herald's Beth Reinhard reports: "As far as the Democratic presidential campaigns are concerned, Florida has cooties."

Remember that 12-year-old boy Democrats used as their S-CHIP poster child, even getting him to deliver their weekly radio address two weekends ago? Conservative bloggers do, and that's created a firestorm surrounding Graeme Frost and his family, per ABC News. Yesterday, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused GOP leadership aides of "pushing falsehood" in an effort to distract from the political battle over S-CHIP.

Things couldn't get too much worse for the GOP -- could they? What if there's a recession, ask Bloomberg's Catherine Dodge and Matthew Benjamin. "Just a lingering slowdown would undercut one of the few topics Republican politicians can still boast about to voters -- an almost six-year economic expansion. That in turn might compound Republicans' electoral woes, turning a difficult election into a disastrous one."

The kicker:

"Who's the author of the cold case Emmett Till legislation? Who's the author of that? Who's the author? Who? Who is?" -- Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., in his very own heated exchange with a voter in Iowa. (The answer is Chris Dodd.)

"None of us wants to end up with a President Cheney." -- Elizabeth Edwards, explaining in New Hampshire why it wouldn't make sense to impeach President Bush. She added that impeaching Bush and Cheney would leave Condoleezza Rice or Michael Chertoff as president: "We'd end up like a dog chasing its tail."

I'll be live-blogging during tonight's Republican debate, starting at 4 pm ET. Watch it on CNBC and join the conversation here.

7 NJ High School Football Players Charged in Hazing

WATCH NJ Superintendent Defends Decision to Cancel Football Season

Seven members of the Sayreville, New Jersey, War Memorial High School football team were charged Friday night on multiple counts including aggravated sexual assault stemming from alleged attacks on younger players on the team, prosecutors said.

"The six juveniles, ranging in age from 15 to 17 years old, are being detained by law enforcement authorities pending a Family Court decision on whether the youths will be held at a detention facility pending a court hearing, or will be released to the custody of their parents or guardians pending the hearing," Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey said in a statement. A seventh boy was still being sought in the case.

The teens are accused of attacking four victims in four separate incidents, according to the statement. The superintendent of schools canceled the football season after reports of harassment of younger team members.

Under state law, complaints against juveniles are sealed. The identities of the boys are being withheld because of their ages, prosecutors said. The teens could face adult charges but that decision has not been made, an official told ABC News.

Three of the juveniles are charged with aggravated sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual contact, conspiracy to commit aggravated criminal sexual contact, criminal restraint, and hazing for engaging in an act of sexual penetration upon one of the juvenile victims, according to the statement. Charges against the others include aggravated assault, conspiracy, aggravated criminal sexual contact, hazing and riot by participating in the attack of the remaining victims.

"The complaints charge that on various dates between September 19, 2014 and September 29, 2014, one or more of the juvenile defendants either held the victims against their will, while other juvenile defendants improperly touched the juvenile victims in a sexual manner," the statement read. One of the juvenile victims was kicked during an attack.

The Sayreville Board of Education said in a statement that it "takes this matter extremely seriously and thus will continue to make the safety and welfare of our students, particularly the victims of these horrendous alleged acts, our highest priority. The district administration has already launched a holistic harassment intimidation and bullying (HIB) investigation of all athletic and extracurricular programs in order to ensure that we take all steps necessary now and in the future to protect all our students.

"In the ensuing days, weeks, and months, we will come together as a school district and greater community to harness the strength required to support the young men who may have been victimized and then to begin the healing process for our beloved community," according to the statement released Friday.

Sayreville school district Superintendent Richard Labbe earlier this week praised the players who came forward to report the alleged abuse: “There was one or two courageous kids that stepped up and did the right thing and prevented one less child from being harassed, intimidated and bullied. And to me, those are the true heroes of this. And we need more heroes like this.”

In an interview with ABC News, Labbe said he was overwhelmed with “horror” when he first heard what was going on behind closed doors at his district’s high school. And he vowed that the proud football program in his community would be rebuilt--the right way. But Labbe insisted he realizes that the wounds of the last days are still raw, and he certainly recognizes there are pockets of hostility directed toward him and the school board that backed him up during a heated session Tuesday night.

“I understand how the seniors feel not to have that last game, not to walk out on the field for the last time with their mom and dad,” Labbe explained. “But based up on the information I received, the right decision that I knew in my heart was to make the one we made.”

On Monday, Labbe canceled the entire football season for Sayreville War Memorial High School after reports of bullying and physical intimidation, with sexual overtones, were reported to the police and Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office. The authorities are now investigating.

Before Labbe’s move, Sayreville football had been known for simply being among the elite of the Garden State’s scholastic athletics programs. Now, the district has to rebuild.

“Not only are we going to rebuild the image of this school district, the image of this high school, the image of this football team,” Labbe said. “But we are going to extend beyond that. We are going to become a very, very special place and that march toward getting people to take a stance is very important.”

Entries in Prince William (120)

Prince William Attends Funeral of Childhood Nanny

Tim Graham/Getty Images(LONDON) -- Prince William put professional obligations aside for the day to say goodbye to a woman who was by his side throughout his childhood.

William, the second-in-line to the British throne, attended the funeral of Olga Powell, a nanny to the royal family for 15 years, who died last month at the age of 82.

Powell first entered Prince William's life when the young prince was just six months old, according to ITV. She continued to watch William and, soon, his younger brother, Prince Harry, throughout their formative years and saw them through the divorce of their parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and the death of Princess Diana just years later, in 1997.

William, 30, cancelled engagements with his wife, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, to attend the private service, held in Harlow, Essex, U.K. He was seen in photographs wearing a dark suit and surrounded by his extended family on his mother's side, including Diana's sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale.

Prince Harry, 27, did not attend the service because he is currently serving a four-month deployment in Afghanistan with the British Army.

Powell, who was frequently seen in photographs shepherding the young princes, reportedly kept in touch after she ended her service to the royals when William was around 15, attending William's 21st birthday party at Windsor Castle and his wedding to Middleton in April 2011. She also attended Prince Harry's confirmation at Eton College in 2000, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail also reported that Powell's family requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her honor to Prince Harry's own charity, Sentebale, which he created to provide support for children and orphans in Lesotho, Africa.

Prince William, Kate Spark Pregnancy Rumors

Niall Carson - WPA Pool/Getty Images(SINGAPORE) -- Kate Middleton’s wardrobe -- estimated to be one tiara and 30 outfits strong -- during her tour through Asia with Prince William was expected to grab headlines.

Now, it’s what her wardrobe could be hiding -- a growing belly bump -- that is making all the news.

The 30-year-old Duchess, the subject of pregnancy rumors since the day she and Prince William wed last April, is sparking rumors once again that she may be carrying a royal heir after choosing water over wine at an official state dinner with Singapore’s president and prime minister.

While William, also 30, and others raised glasses of wine to toast the country’s Queen, Kate, dressed fashionably in a gown by Singapore-born designer Prabal Garang, twice politely declined and chose water instead, sparking a flurry of speculation.

Pregnancy rumors emerged in April, as the couple celebrated their one-year anniversary, and last November, when the couple were reportedly preparing a nursery and after cameras caught Kate politely declining to sample a bite of peanut paste as she and Prince William visited a United Nations aid depot in Copenhagen.

“Things like this, people do look at them and wonder if they are signs,” Victoria Murphy, royal correspondent for UK’s The Mirror told ABC News.  “People are whispering and going on, 'Is she pregnant?  Is she pregnant?'”

The rumors on this trip were further fueled by Prince William himself when he, for the first time, put a specific number on the size of the royal family he’d like to have, telling a fan he wants to have two children with Kate.

In May, the prince, a helicopter rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force, told ABC News’ Katie Couric he and Kate were eager to have children.

“I’m just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and I, you know, are looking forward to having a family in the future,” the Duke of Cambridge said.

The revelation came on Wednesday, the couple’s second day in Singapore on a tour of the Far East and South Pacific as part of the worldwide celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.

In addition to the state dinner, William and Kate toured a Rolls Royce jet engine factory and unveiled the first engine produced by the plant, which opened earlier this year.  The day before, they visited the nation’s Botanic Gardens where they viewed an orchid named after themselves and one named after William’s late mother, Princess Diana, that she never got to see for herself before she died.

Prince William and Kate Pay Tribute to Princess Diana in Singapore

ODD ANDERSEN/AFP/GettyImages(SINGAPORE) -- Prince William and Kate Middleton touched down in Singapore Tuesday to kick-off of their eight-day tour of Southeast Asia to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made their first stop a memorable one, visiting the city’s famed Botanic Gardens to view orchids, including one named after William’s late mother, Princess Diana, whose death in an August 1997 car crash came just weeks before she was scheduled to visit the gardens to see the orchid.

“It’s beautiful,” Prince William, 30, said, according to the BBC, pausing to view the flower with his wife, whom his mother also never got to meet.

William and Kate then got to see, for the first time, an orchid the gardens named in their own honor, the Vanda William Catherine.  The pink orchid is described as a free-flowering orchid hybrid with white petals and purple-red spots surrounded by a dark purple edge.

Middleton, 30, whose fashion choices will no doubt grab headlines throughout the trip, stood out in a pink kimono-style dress with an orchid pattern -- seen as a nod to her Singaporean hosts -- by British designer Jenny Packham.

The overwhelming reaction the couple received on their first official overseas trip to North America last summer was matched Tuesday in Singapore, where locals were overjoyed to see the royals.

A crowd of nearly 200 people reportedly gathered outside the Raffles Hotel where the couple is staying to cheer their arrival on Tuesday.

“It was like Christmas,” one local told ABC News’ Bob Woodruff.  “We’re excited.  We couldn’t sleep last night.”

“It’s uplifting,” said another.  “It’s exciting and it’s away from all the depressiveness of recessions and Eurocrises.”

During the rest of their trip, Kate and William will travel to four countries and are expected to engage with the locals through sporting activities, wearing traditional dress and even traveling by canoe.

The pair will conclude their trip with some downtime, staying at a luxurious private estate in the island nation of Tuvalu.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Set to Embark on Asia Tour

Chris Jackson/Getty Images(LONDON) -- Kate Middleton and Prince William are preparing to take their glamour and goodwill from England to the Far East in a nine-day trip that will mark a series of firsts for the young couple.

After enjoying a mini four-day vacation together at a secluded chateau in the south of France, William and Kate are now on their way to Singapore for a continuation of the Diamond Jubilee World Tour celebrating Queen Elizabeth’s 60th year of reign.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 30, will travel to four countries in just nine days, traveling from Singapore to Malaysia, the Solomon Islands and, finally, Tuvalu.

Crowds are expected to match the thousands that lined the streets for a glimpse of the couple in their first official overseas tour last June and July in North America.

One of the first stops for the couple, who celebrated their one-year anniversary in April, will be an orchid-naming ceremony at the Singapore Botanic Gardens where each will have an orchid named in their honor. They’ll also be able to view an orchid named after William’s late mother, Princess Diana, shortly before her death in 1997 and before she had a chance to view the flower herself.

On Thursday Kate will make her first official overseas speech when she addresses staff and patients at the Hospis Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.

Much of the couple’s wide-ranging itinerary was said to have been personally selected by William’s grandmother, the queen. That itinerary will include William and Kate visiting a rainforest, embarking on a war canoe journey, visiting a local school and university and attending a youth conference, among other things.

Prince William Rescues Injured Hiker in Wales

Christopher Furlong - WPA Pool/Getty Images(ANGLESEY, Wales) -- While the world is abuzz over Prince Harry's partying naked in Las Vegas, his older brother, Prince William, is making headlines of his own, with his clothes fully on.

The 30-year-old Duke of Cambridge, who serves as a search-and-rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force (RAF), completed his second rescue in four days Monday when he helped pull an injured Canadian hiker from the coast of Anglesey, Wales.

Darlene Burton, 58, of Barrie, Ontario, was completing a 10-day hike around the island of Anglesey when she slipped on a rock and broke her left leg, Canada's Globe and Mail reported.

Her husband, Lawrence Oakley, flagged down a local fisherman who called for help but the paramedics who responded to the scene were not able to help her, he told the paper.

Paramedics called in the RAF to help and Prince William piloted the RAF Sea King helicopter to the rescue.

"They all know up here that that's his job," Oakley told the Globe and Mail by phone from the hospital in Bangor where Burton was taken. "He assisted in helping Darlene when they moved the stretcher out [of the helicopter]."

Burton underwent surgery to repair multiple fractures to her leg, Oakley told the paper.

William piloted a rescue mission last Thursday to save a 16-year-old girl who had been swept out to sea off the coast of Silver Bay in Anglesey. The girl and her 13-year-old sister had been body-boarding in the water when they were caught on a riptide. The older girl remained stranded in the water until an RAF rescue helicopter captained by the prince came to her rescue and pulled her safely to shore.

Prince William became an RAF search-and-rescue captain in May. His No. 22 Squadron is based in Anglesey, close to where the rescues took place and where he and wife, Kate Middleton, have set up home.

William was forced to miss the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympics earlier this month, leaving his wife and Prince Harry to fulfill his official role, because of his RAF duties.

Prince William Helps Rescue Teen Girl at Sea

Christopher Furlong - WPA Pool/Getty Images(LONDON) -- Prince William was working his day job as a search-and-rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force (RAF) Thursday afternoon when a call came in that a 16-year-old girl had been swept out to sea off the coast of Silver Bay in Anglesey.

The girl, who has not been identified, and her 13-year-old sister had been body-boarding in the water when they were caught on a riptide, according to the BBC.  As the girl tried to help her younger sister, she also became distressed.

While the younger sister was able to be pulled safely to shore by onlookers, the 16-year-old remained stranded in the water.

Less than 38 seconds after receiving a distress call, an RAF rescue helicopter captained by Prince William came to her rescue.

With the aid of two surfers waving and pointing to the area where the girl was stranded, William swooped the helicopter down to the waters while his winchman, Master Aircrew Harry Harrison, pulled the older sister out of the water.

“When I got to her, the elder girl was clearly exhausted and was going under the water for what was the very last time,” Harrison told the BBC.  “We never know what we’ll face when we’re called out, this was one rescue where we truly did arrive in the nick of time and managed to save two young lives.”

Both sisters were taken to a nearby hospital as a precautionary measure but were said to have suffered from only the shock and cold of the water.

There was no word on whether the 16-year-old realized the famous pilot behind her rescue, but the RAF said she thanked Harrison on the way to the hospital for saving her, according to the BBC.

Prince William became an RAF search-and-rescue captain in May.  His No. 22 Squadron is based in Anglesey, close to where the rescue took place and where he and wife, Kate Middleton, have set up home.

William was forced to miss the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympics, leaving his wife and brother, Prince Harry to fulfill his official role, because of his RAF duties.

Prince William’s Belated Beach Birthday Celebration

Ben Stansall - WPA Pool/Getty Images(LONDON) -- Britain’s Prince William celebrated his 30th birthday with a belated beach party over the weekend.

The prince’s birthday was actually on Thursday, but the future king apparently spent it quietly. Although Buckingham Palace would not provide details, Prince William’s wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, reportedly planned a low-key dinner with some of his closest friends.

But William apparently made up for the quiet evening afterward.  According to the U.K.’s Sun, he had some friends stay with him at a rented cottage in Anglesey. On Saturday, the group slept late, had breakfast and drove down to the beach.

“We hear that William actually spent his birthday riding on a doughnut ring behind a speedboat in Wales,” said Vicki Arbiter, royal contributor for ABC News.  “Prince William loves to be a bit of a daredevil.”

William, and his brother, Prince Harry, donned wet suits and joined their friends in the surf.  His wife, Kate Middleton, stayed on the sand with her sister, Pippa Middleton, and other friends, the Sun reported.

William and Kate’s dog, Lupo, apparently was with them.

“They do love to be outdoors,” Arbiter said of the royal couple. “They love exercise. They love athletics. They love sport. They’re get up and go as a couple.”

This is a big year for William, and not just because of his 30th birthday. He will reportedly receive an inheritance of nearly $15 million from the estate of his late mother, Princess Diana, later this year. According to Diana’s will, which was made public, William and brother Harry are to inherit an equal amount of money, as well as some of her personal belongings, including jewelry, dresses and more.

Prince William Tells Katie Couric He’s Eager for Kids

Katie Couric interviews Prince William for the ABC network special, "The Jubilee Queen With Katie Couric." (Credit: Mark Large)(LONDON) -- One year after their marriage, Prince William said that he and wife, Catherine Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, are eager to have children. What he didn’t say was exactly when the world could expect to meet the next British royal heir.

“I’m just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and I, you know, are looking forward to having a family in the future,” the Duke of Cambridge, 29, said in an interview with ABC News’ Katie Couric. Asked by Couric if there was anything else he wanted to share, he answered with a laugh, “You won’t get anything out of me. Tight lipped.”

To mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, celebrating her 60 years on the throne, Couric conducted several rare interviews with members of the royal family, including TRH Prince Harry, The Duke of Cambridge Prince William and The Duke of York Prince Andrew, which aired Tuesday night in an ABC News special, The Jubilee Queen With Katie Couric.

Speculation about whether Kate Middleton is pregnant has been swirling for months. Meanwhile, whenever the royal couple does have children, it appears likely their first-born will be in line for the throne regardless of gender. Last year, the heads of 16 Commonwealth countries agreed to a change in the rules of succession so that first-born children of either gender -- rather than only first-born males -- can take the throne. (Queen Elizabeth II was only eligible to be sovereign because her father had no male children.) The British Parliament must still amend existing law to make the succession change official.

“Put simply, if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to have a little girl, that girl would one day be our queen,” British Prime Minister David Cameron told reporters last year.

Prince William said he thought it was strange that his family planning was the subject of headlines, but he tries not to let it bother him.

What does bother the prince, however, is the decision he has to make by the end of this year: whether to take another tour of duty with the Royal Air Force -- where he is a flight lieutenant -- or assume royal duties full-time.

“I’m still trying to decide,” he said. “It’s a really difficult one because I really enjoy my time in the Air Force. And I’d love to continue it. But the pressures of my other life are building. And fighting them off or balancing the two of them has proven quite difficult.”

Like his older brother, Prince Harry has followed his family’s long-standing tradition of military service. He is a captain in the British Army Air Corps and famously had a tour in Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008.

In Afghanistan, he said, he learned what it meant to fight for queen and country.

“Once you’re in the military, she means a lot more to you than just a grandmother. She is the queen. And then you suddenly, it’s like start realizing, you know, wow, this is quite a big deal. And then you get goosebumps and then the rest of it,” he said.

Prince Harry is still figuring out his personal life, he said. The 27-year-old prince shared with Couric his own desire for a family.

“I’ve longed for kids since I was very, very young. And so…I’m waiting to find the right person, someone who’s willing to take on the job,” he said.

Royals Revel in Annual Weekend of Polo

Indigo/Getty Images(LONDON) -- A polo match is never just a polo match, at least when the new generation of England’s royal family is involved. Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton proved that lesson true this weekend when the headline-grabbing trio showed up for the Audi Polo Challenge, an annual event to raise funds for the princes’ favorite charities.

Middleton was kept company on the sidelines watching her husband, William, the Duke of Cambridge, and brother-in-law Prince Harry, 27, play in the match by a royal aide and the newest addition to the royal family, the couple’s dog Lupo.

Lupo had free reign off the polo field and reportedly took advantage of it, romping around the sidelines, making friends with fellow dogs and charming some of the other 200 attendees.

Harry had particular interest in this year's match, held in Ascot, England, as all the proceeds went to one of his favored charities, Sentebale.

Slice of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Wedding Cake Up for Auction -- You can have a piece of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding cake if the price is right.

Days after the royal couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary, a slice of their wedding cake is up for auction online, where it is expected to fetch as much as $1,500.

The slice, believed to be the first up for auction, is from the multi-tiered, traditional fruit cake that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge served to guests at an afternoon reception at Buckingham Palace on their big day. Each of its layers was adorned with white icing and 17 varieties of 900 iced flowers and leaves, according to cake designer Fiona Cairns, who spoke to ABC News at the time.

The piece of cake comes in the white and gold presentation tin that was given out to 650 guests at the luncheon that day. A printed note from Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall and the 16-page Order of Service from Westminster Abbey, which includes the vows, hymns and prayers from the ceremony, are also included.

“We anticipate worldwide interest,” Kylie Whitehead of PFC Auctions, the online auction house offering the cake, told the U.K.’s The Sun. “We believe that this is the first piece of William and Kate’s wedding cake to appear at auction....It’s a fantastic opportunity to own such a personal piece of memorabilia from the future king and queen.”

The seller’s identity has not been disclosed. Bidding starts at £100, or approximately $160, and runs  through May 24, according the PFC Auctions website.

Cake from the 1973 wedding of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips is also up for auction, as well as the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. In 2008, a buyer paid $1,830 for an elaborately decorated, 9-inch-square piece of cake from Charles and Diana’s nuptials. The royal dessert came with a signed thank-you letter from the couple.

Physiological Sexual Response Is Not Consent

I've been catching up on reading my RSS feeds and came across a link to a NY Times article entitled What Do Women Want? from late January written by Daniel Bergner about research done by Meredith Chivers who is a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. The research looked at the study participants questionnaire responses to different images about their arousal and compared those responses to the participants' genital physiological responses.

The title of the NY Times article makes the assumption that a person's physiological response is an indicator of what that person, specifically a woman, wants. And since women had a higher physiological response to watching bonono sexual interactions than men that would mean according to this premise that women want to have sex with bonono apes.

Hopefully, it is clear that it cannot be claimed accurately that those women wanted to have sex with a bonono ape.

I wouldn't think anybody could make that type of leap until I found the link on Sex Crime Defender's blog where he mentioned that he would file this research away until it became useful in his work. But the only usefulness of this research in the defense of a rape case is to try to use the alleged victim's physiological response as a substitute for genuine consent. This strips away the alleged rape victim's humanity and with it, that person's basic human rights.

This strategy could be attempted not only in acquaintance rape cases it could be used in stranger rape cases where the victim is accused of regretting an unplanned random hook-up.

If this strategy were based on the real findings of this research then it could only be applied when boys and men are the alleged victims since their reported arousal and physiological arousal were strongly correlated. But again the problem is that arousal in whatever form it takes is not consent.

Despite many stereotypes used to dismiss sexual violence committed by boys and men as being out of their control and therefore not their legal responsibility, they can be aroused without acting on that arousal. If they couldn't then the men in this study who were aroused would have raped the first likely target they encountered after being shown these erotic films. Not surprisingly, to me at least, there were no reports of attempted rapes immediately after the study sessions.

A physiological response is just that and nothing more. Yet many rapists successfully claim that this is true consent and use this physiological response to nullify words and actions which communicate that there was no consent. This allows clear lack of consent to be called a mixed message or consent.

While the subjects watched on a computer screen, Chivers, who favors high boots and fashionable rectangular glasses, measured their arousal in two ways, objectively and subjectively.

This description of the physiological response as objective while the conscious response is subjective is not true. Full arousal is about far more than a single physiological response. However, it does show that if you are trying to measure physiological arousal then you need to measure physiological arousal.

This linkage between what women want and their physiological reaction does make me think about my rapist's rationalizations in a new way. Several times before I was raped by my boyfriend during our consensual interactions (kissing, touching) I had physiological responses which he tried to use to justify doing more than I was allowing him to do.

My physiological response helped him rationalize his decision to rape me, but what he did was still rape and it was a conscious decision on his part. In truth he didn't care whether I was consenting or not because his decision was all about him. His decision to rape me twice eliminated the possibility that I would ever consent to have sex with him, but if he had respected my humanity and been willing to wait until I did consent I might have eventually delightfully consented numerous times.

His violence and the betrayal behind that violence was in no way lessened because I might have eventually consented. I was raped later that same year by someone I just met and that trauma was much less -- physically and emotionally.

If used properly in a rape trial this research would only be used to prove that arousal doesn't equal consent and that it doesn't communicate what someone wants to do.

"She smiled at me after I kissed her, so of course I thought she wanted to have sex."

He smiled at me after we shook hands, so course I thought he wanted me to take his wallet.The amount of self-denial required to justify rape boggles the mind of a reasonable person.

The late UK feminist academic researcher Sue Lees in her book Carnal Knowledge, which is a well researched book on how the UK legal system prosecutes men charged with rape, has numerous examples of male-centered beliefs that female physiological arousal supposedly supports male rapists' claims 'but she consented.'

Of course such claims can be used to claim men who were raped by another man apparently consented due to the raped man's sexual organ physiologically responding. But medical science has demonstrated many men and boys sexual arousal in their sexual organs, either due to intense fear or simply because of an unrelated stimulus.

It is not physiological 'arousal' but whether not a woman experiencing this arousal acts on it or agrees to participate in any sexual act. No one can control their physiological reactions all the time. For example when a person's face turns red this can mean a number of things, such as embarassment or a physiological response to intense heat.

Yet time and again rape apologists and the male-centered legal system continues to promote the misogynistic myth women do not know themselves whether or not they are sexually aroused and also are supposedly incapable of making an informed and rational choice whether or not to engage in sexual activity.

Only men apparently have this mythical knowledge of knowing precisely what women want and surprisingly when it is a rapist he will assert he knew precisely what the rape survivor wanted and it was identical to his demands.

March 2013 SSPX Winona Ordinations

On Friday, March 15, 8 young men were raised to the minor holy orders of Porter, Lector, Exorcist and Acolyte, preparatory steps for the sacred priesthood.  On the following day, Sitentes Saturday, 6 acolytes were elevated to the rank of subdeacon (the first of the major holy orders), thus continuing the progressive cycle in seminary life which will climax in the priesthood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The website of the SSPX.ORG has some stunning photos of these ordinations.  Below are just a few of them.

Aren't these numbers quite low for Winona? How are classes of 6-8 men going to fill their huge new seminary?
God give us many holy priests!

Hormone Disorder Could Be the Cause of Your Unwanted Facial Hair

This Common Hormone Disorder Could Be the Cause of Your Unwanted Facial Hair

In my high school class, we were taught briefly about sex hormones. These hormones are responsible for growth of hair, breasts, and muscles, as well as production of the reproductive organs. Predominantly, females have the sex hormone estrogen, and males have testosterone. The picture painted seemed clear as day; your body either had one or the other. What I didn’t realize was that women also have androgens, a male sex hormone, in addition to estrogen. And, when cisgender women have an imbalance of those hormones, as statistically as many as one out of 10 women do, that can be polycystic ovary syndrome, commonly known as PCOS.

“It is important to understand that PCOS is not a disease, it is a syndrome,” explains family physician Dr. Angela Kerchner, MD. “A syndrome is when a person has certain characteristics that, when put together like pieces of a puzzle, cause certain things to happen in the body.”

Read on to learn more about PCOS — what it is, the signs, and how it’s treated.

How common is PCOS?

PCOS is an endocrine disorder that affects people with ovaries; the condition is quite common, affecting as many 5 million women in the United States.

What is PCOS, exactly?

In addition to estrogen, women have androgens, which are male hormones that females also make. With PCOS, the ovaries make more androgens than normal, and the high levels of these hormones then affect ovulation. The imbalance of estrogen and androgens can also be seen via physical symptoms. Many people with PCOS also have cysts in their ovaries,

While the exact cause of PCOS is not entirely known, there are some factors that are known to play a role. Extra insulin — which is the hormone that the pancreas produces for your cells to use glucose — could increase the amount of androgen hormones produced in the body, thereby affecting the ability of the ovaries to ovulate, according to the Mayo Clinic. Low-grade inflammation is also suspected to be a culprit, and the condition is believed to have some genetic basis.

What are the signs of hormone imbalance?

Hormone imbalance “can be found with blood tests, or might be seen on your body,” Dr. Kerchner says. “Some of the most common things found are male-pattern hair growth, meaning hair on your chin, upper lip, chest, belly, or back. Some people may have hair loss, known as alopecia, which is also a sign of too many male hormones. Severe acne is also common.”

PCOS can also have symptoms beyond acne and facial hair. Dr. Sherry Ross, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist, says that irregular periods are a common sign: “Your periods can come every two weeks, every three to six months, or once a year. When your periods come less often, they tend to be heavier, last longer and with more painful cramping.” Some other signs include weight gain, depression, anxiety, and infertility. “Many women with PCOS have difficulty getting pregnant,” Dr. Kerchner says. “This is because in order to get pregnant, you have to ovulate, and PCOS can cause ovulation to happen less often.”

How is it treated?

While you can’t prevent it if you are genetically predisposed, you can manage it. The birth control pill is often prescribed to those with PCOS, notes Alisa Vitti, a hormone expert and functional nutritionist who is the founder of FLOLiving. And “there are androgen-blocking pills that help reduce the levels of circulating testosterone in the body, [which] helps minimize acne flares, excess face and body hair growth, and can reduce the scalp hair loss,” notes dermatologist Dr. Tsippora Shainhouse, MD.

However, lifestyle changes with exercise and diet are an extremely important element in managing PCOS since they address the root of the hormone issues, Alisa says.

Our Columnist Gets the Scoop on Ted Koppel's Scoop

By Published on .

Earlier this year, Ted Koppel survived an attempt by ABC to bounce him and "Nightline" off the air for David Letterman's "Late Show," but will he be able to defend himself against a $30 million lawsuit?

Adages has learned that Mr. Koppel and ABC are being sued for $30 million in punitive damages and unspecified compensatory damages by Nate Thayer, a freelance reporter who alleges that they stole his exclusive story and that the "misappropriation of credit deprived Thayer of the advertising value of his name."

Thayer broke what has been called one of the great scoops of the last century. At the heart of the lawsuit is the question of who has the right to market a scoop to the rest of the media: The outlet airing the story or the reporter who got it?

In 1997, after a decade-long search, Thayer finally tracked down Pol Pot, who was believed to be dead, deep in the jungles of northern Cambodia. It was the first time Pol Pot had been photographed and interviewed in 20 years. And it was the last. The Cambodian dictator, who was said to be responsible for the deaths of about 3 million Cambodians, died under mysterious circumstances a year after Thayer filmed him. Thayer's video footage of the interview with Pol Pot aired on "Nightline" on July 28, 1997.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Oct. 30, alleges that Koppel and ABC breached a contract with Thayer that allowed for limited use of the Pol Pot footage. Thayer would get credit for the images and be paid $350,000 for the story. The agreement, the suit says, was made verbally in front of witnesses, and Koppel promised that ABC lawyers would draft a final document. "Don't worry," Koppel said to Thayer, according to the complaint. "You must trust me, journalist to journalist."

"Instead of complying with those terms," said Mel Weiss, partner at Milberg Weiss Berhad Hynes & Lerach, New York, which is representing Thayer, "ABC immediately created a frame grab, used it without giving Thayer credit, fixed ABC's logo on the photo saying `ABC News exclusive,' forwarded the frame to news services, posted it on the ABC Web site, gave a transcript of the video and a 10 minute portion of it to The New York Times, and broadcast the video on monitors throughout the streets of Cambodia, which basically destroyed Thayer's commercial viability with this product." The suit accuses Koppel and ABC of copyright infringement, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, tortious interference with business relations and fraud, among other things.

According to the complaint, Thayer never received a written contract. He claims an ABC lawyer told him the reason he couldn't get a contract that day was because the lawyer "did not know how to type" and he had "no secretary." Thayer also claims he did not receive payment until 10 months later, when ABC sent $350,000 to defuse the controversy after Thayer refused to accept a Peabody Award that he was to share with ABC for the Pol Pot report.

Along with damages, Thayer is demanding the defendants be required to pay him "the profits and other economic benefits realized." Profits would include advertising revenue "Nightline" got the nights it aired the footage, according to a person with knowledge of the lawsuit.

"In 1997 ABC News agreed to pay Nate Thayer the sizable sum of $350,000 for the rights to use his footage of former Cambodian dictator Pol Pot," said Jeffrey Schneider, VP, ABC News. "Despite the fact that ABC provided prominent and repeated credit and generous remuneration for his work, Mr. Thayer initiated a five-year barrage of complaints coupled with repeated demands for more money that culminate in this filing, in what is essentially a contract dispute. We find it unfortunate that Mr. Thayer and his lawyers have attempted to attack the good name of one of America's most respected news broadcasts as well as a journalist of impeccable reputation. We look forward to the opportunity to prove in court that Thayer's claims have no merit."

360i Names Adam Kerj Its First Chief Creative Officer

Saatchi & Saatchi Stockholm's Founding Partner Moves to Dentsu Digital Shop

By Published on .

Dentsu-owned digital agency 360i has hired Adam Kerj as its chief creative officer following a six-month-long search.

Adam Kerj
Adam Kerj
Mr. Kerj comes to the New York-based shop from Publicis Groupe 's Saatchi & Saatchi in Stockholm, where he was executive creative director-founding partner. The appointment is effective immediately, though Mr. Kerj won't relocate to the U.S. with his family until this summer. He will report to 360i CEO Bryan Wiener and will oversee more than 30 people.

The establishment of a CCO post accompanies 360i's doubling in size in the past two years. It now has about 425 staffers, who work on brands such as Coca-Cola, Oreo, JC Penney and Smirnoff.

"Adam is a pioneer in identifying and implementing big ideas that solve real business challenges for his clients," Mr. Wiener said in a statement. "Marketing in the digital age requires excellence in storytelling, depth in digital and, most importantly, the ability to bring these together to guide brands where there are no roads. Adam embodies all these traits and is a great cultural fit with 360i."

Mr. Kerj was selected after dozens of interviews with candidates and a unanimous vote of confidence from 360i's senior leaders, Mr. Wiener told Ad Age . "The profile of the right CCO has changed substantially;marketers today need big, crossplatform ideas, but with digital at its core. Adam is one of the few creative leaders out there with both the digital expertise and the big-idea creative chops."

Mr. Kerj has experience working with some of 360i's clients already. During his time in Sweden, he worked on Diageo and Coca-Cola. He's also done work for other large marketers, including Toyota and Procter & Gamble. For P&G's Ariel, he created "The Fashion Shoot," a live digital event that was honored by Creativity as one of 2011's best campaigns. To see more of his work on Creativity go here.

The new role will be a big change for Mr. Kerj, who has spent the past 20 years working in European creative shops. He had a short stint at Leo Burnett in Chicago in the 1990s, but since then, he's worked at Leo Burnett in Denmark and TBWA in Sweden. He founded the Saatchi office in 2002.

Asked if he thinks that moving from a traditional creative shop to a digital agency will be a tough challenge, Mr. Kerj said: "I don't see it as that big a change, because today 50% of revenue at Saatchi Sweden comes from digital and new media. Sitting in Stockholm and watching what's going on in the world, over the last couple of years I've seen some great work coming out of agencies that didn't happen as often as it does today. New York has become more of a center of creative excellence again, and I think a lot of interesting things are happening here."
