A Teenage Companion For The Doctor

Hands shaking with concentration, I slowly placed my foot in front of the other, balancing myself on the four inch wide wall. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I reached the end. Just as I was about to jump off and grab my bag for my first class of the day, I heard a voice behind me.

“You’re getting pretty good at that.” Startled, I jumped off the wall and whirled around, only to see a man, maybe late thirties, early forties look back at me, head tipped with curiosity. In one swift movement I grabbed my backpack and slung it onto my shoulders, feet poised to run. Who was he? What was he doing on campus? I don’t see a nametag of some sort… Why is he even talking to me? I swallowed nervously.

“Who… who are you?” I dared to ask. He smiled and replied cheerfully,

“Oh, don’t be so nervous. I’m no threat.” I narrowed my eyes and backed up a step, self-consciously fingering the box knife I kept in my pocket.

“What’s your name?” he asked, seeming to forget all about my question. I did a once-over of him. His posture was relaxed, friendly. His face was bright with kindness. He was a complete stranger, yet I felt that I could trust him somehow… Subtly I shook my head. There was no way I could trust him. He stepped forward and held out his hand.

“What’s your name? I’m the Doctor.” The Doctor? What the heck?

“That’s it?” I ventured.

“Yeah,” he responded lightly, smiling. “Just the Doctor.”

“The Doctor…” I tried out the name to see what it sounded like. He nodded, still grinning. What was his problem?

His hand was still waiting out in the open. Cautiously, I reached out and shook it firmly.

“Nice to meet you, Piper.” His accent was different. I replayed his voice over and over again in my head when I got it. That’s it! It was Northern, I was sure. What was he doing all the way in Wales? So many questions were swimming in my head. Before either of us could say anything, the bell rang shrilly through the autumn air.

“Gotta go,” I hurriedly said before I took off towards English.

“See you later!” he called back jubilantly. At this shocking reply I stopped dead, only to trip head over heels onto the concrete. Flustered, I wheeled around to see if he was still there. But the man in the leather jacket was gone. Interesting start to my first day of high school, eh?

A Pessimist's New Year

I lay on my bed with the black laptop in front of me. I twirled a piece of hair around my finger and bit my lip. The black cursor blinked menacingly at me from the blank Microsoft Word page and I pondered my thoughts, hopelessly searching for something to write about. 12:20AM read the clock; 1/2/2010. I sighed. How come the New Year was so depressing? Maybe it was the fact that my best friend was mad at me for not coming to her new year’s party… maybe it was because school was to begin in only 4 short days. Possibly due to the fact that I missed him. Another thing to be depressed about- having someone to miss. The media is sort of gearing up for another year of catastrophe, too.
A headline in the local newspaper I had just read this morning told me “2010- The year to die”. Appalled by the contradicting tone to the usually happy subject of a new year, I read the first paragraph. It implied that it might be helpful or convenient for some families if a relative were to die this year. I was disgusted. I looked longingly over my shoulder at my school bag, peeking out at me was my social studies book which I had thrown in there at the last minute, convincing myself that I could get a head start on the few papers that were due one or two days after break. Silly, the thought was to me now. I glanced back at the blank screen. What to write, what to write… I chewed on my nail in deep thought; finally it drifted back to my after-holiday blues. Why does everyone have to be so darn pessimistic about 2010 just because of some stupid laws, or a crappy economy? True, you may argue that there are some good campaigns out there for the next saga in the book of the world and I wouldn’t disagree. But no one hears about the good anymore, do they?

No one usually gets on the front page for donating to the homeless shelter or staying married for 30 years. (Heck, it’s a miracle if you stay together for 3, this day and age) And if you think about it, it’s all we want to read about, anyway. Don’t kid yourself, you know it’s true. If there was an article on the Make-A-Wish foundation right next to one about Tiger Wood’s latest scandal, we all know what one most of us would pick up and read. It’s a shame, but it’s true.

Maybe this year could be the year that the world tries a little harder to be interested in the good, ignore the jerks that fill the tabloids, perhaps focus on what’s working and use that to fix what’s not. Maybe we can reward the unnoticed do-gooders with the front page instead of the murders who deserve nothing more than the front of a ‘wanted’ poster. We could stop paying bills for a little while to take the kids to a movie or write to an old friend. You may call it wishful thinking or an optimistic thought but there is nothing wrong with dreams. Look where they got Dr. Martin Luther King. Try to laugh at last year and be proud you made it through, because you know that next year, you will be doing just the same to this one. I know we all just got off a rollercoaster called 2009, but it’s 2010 baby, new ups, new downs, and here we are again, seat belts on, hands in the air, head face forward. 3-2-1. Happy new year.
I rested my chin on the side of my laptop and cleared my throat before lifting my head up and glancing at the clock again. 1:00AM. Maybe tomorrow will be more of a success. I mean after all, it’s a new day, with new inspiration and just filled to the brim with possibility. Nothing is a fact until it happens. There is always a chance something will go wrong, but that means that there is also an equal possibility it will go right. Just take it a day at a time and the year will fall into place. I felt a little better, even with a blank screen. My heart was a touch lighter than before and my burdens were put on the back burner for a while. Maybe I might just go to sleep, you never know, you could have a big day ahead of you.

We will all die one day?doesn’t that bother you?
Her fingers tremble in the sheets of icy water;
She floats through the fields of lilies, bright curls flying
The phone rings?seventeen seconds of speech, and then
Nothing; there is nothing left but the silence.

Nails dig into soft palms, fingers bruised with plaster
She recomposes and straightens her fiery tendrils;
To pack a bag ?books and clothes and money
And sits on the wobbly porch, porcelain expression turned to ivory
When they come to take her away, she is ready

Love at an asylum?she laughs; He picks away at ivory exterior.
They dance in the hallways, and her paper fingers
Do not feel like paper any longer.
All good things must come to an end, she thinks
And waits for the day the world burns.

He kills his roommate?crash of glass, pool of blood.
Thunder claps in the headmaster’s golden eyes; love in an asylum?
She laughs. They’re all a bit messed-up.
Messed-up people don’t deserve happiness.

His shadow lingers in the doorway, hints of peppermint
The air tastes like stale smoke and second chances
His face is gaunt, bones visible through garments
Silver bullet pushes through the air?
(Love in an asylum?she laughs, it is all a dream.)

He wasn’t supposed to shoot, he wasn’t supposed to?
This is not a fairytale.
It slices through the sides of her skin, droplets of blood from her ear
The knife flies past her skin.

Three years, and then she sees clear:
Callie and Wren live in a white mansion?
They are a family of blinding smiles, silver spoons.

The annual lava flow of headlines and story lines have begun, most of them pointing out how (Your Team's Name Here) has bolstered its bench, bullpen or starting rotation with a recent acquisition.

Except, nobody knows that.

Did the Red Sox bolster their starting rotation when they acquired Jake Peavy last season at the trade deadline? A year later, it does not seem that way, does it? Did Boston bolster its bullpen when it traded to get Eric Gagne in the summer of 2007? The only thing bolstered with that deal were batting averages throughout the American League.

That's the problem with deadline deals, or trades in general. The GMs who make them can always claim they are trying to make their teams better, and who can argue with that laudable goal, but it's like trying a new shortcut to get to work in the morning.

Sometimes you're better off just staying on Route 146, no matter how bad the lights are at Boston Road in Sutton.

Still, the trades will be made. That's the accepted wisdom these days — teams have to be active at the deadline, or even until Sept. 1 — as either buyers or sellers. GMs who don't classify their teams as one or the other risk being labeled as not doing enough to win or prepare for the future.

Deadline deals almost always favor the sellers, though, especially since the expansion of the playoffs. Here on July 20 the Red Sox, a lousy team if there ever was one, are in still in contention. The buyers outnumber the sellers and this time of the year would be a realtor's dream if realtors ran baseball teams.

Deals are harder to compare than batting averages. There is no arguing that Ted Williams has the best average in Red Sox history, but there is plenty to argue about in terms of best or worst trades. That's one reason they happen — to create interest and generate a buzz. We live in a world dominated by speculation, and deadline deal discussions are the sports equivalent of weather forecasts.

It doesn't matter if they are accurate or not as long as they get everybody talking.

Boston's best deadline deal was as a seller in 1996 when Dan Duquette foisted Heathcliff Slocumb on the Mariners for Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek. Seattle's GM then was Woody Woodward. He was credited with bolstering the Mariners bullpen when, as time proved, he was really destroying the team's future.

There is no way to prove this, but in the end, most baseball trades are made to fill holes created by previous ones. If Boston does trade Peavy — all the while paying most of his salary, which Bud Selig should not allow as a rule of thumb — it will be making a trade to get rid of what amounts to a bad debt, a move that would not have to be made if the original trade had never been done.

Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ben Cherington's signature deal was in 2012, his declaration of roster bankruptcy with the exile of Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford to Los Angeles. But if Theo Epstein had not traded future All-Star Anthony Rizzo to the Padres to get Gonzalez in 2010, Cherington would not have had to do the 2012 purge.

It is that time of year. Boston may trade Peavy, Jonny Gomes or even Jon Lester. We might also get 4 inches of rain on Labor Day, just in case anybody is planning to cook out. None of it may happen, but it is all something to talk about.

Baseball Jeopardy

1. The last Red Sox batter to ground into a triple play.

2. The only two Red Sox hitters to hit more than one All-Star Game homer in a Boston uniform.

3. Of the 31 Red Sox players who have gotten votes for Rookie of the Year, the only two who did not make their major league debuts for Boston.

Questions below.

Holt still a rookie

Brock Holt seems destined to get at least get some votes for Rookie of the Year, and is a dark horse to win it depending on how voters perceive Jose Abreu's candidacy. It seems hard to believe that Holt is a real rookie, either, since he had spent a chunk of time in the majors before this year. He just makes it under the 130 at-bat rule — he had 124 coming into 2014 — and his 34 total days on the 25-man roster are comfortably under the maximum of 45. … If Peavy has pitched his last game in a Boston uniform, his 1-8 record will go down in infamy. The last time a Boston pitcher was 1-8 at any point in a season was 1954 when Hal "Skinny" Brown lost his final decision on Sept. 24 to finish the year at 1-8. … It is a big birthday week for former Red Sox as Len Okrie, who both played and later coached for Boston, turned 91 on Thursday; Windy McCall was 89 on Friday and Billy Gardner, who went on to manage the Twins and Royals, celebrated his 87th birthday on Saturday in Connecticut. … The moral of the Adam Wainwright-Derek Jeter story from the All-Star Game is, sadly, the last thing anybody wants to do in baseball is tell the truth. Bobby Valentine will vouch for that. … By the way, we've done an email switchover at the Telegram and some of my old mail may have been lost, so if you are waiting for a response from something sent in a while ago, try again. Thanks.

Local report

Among local players in the minors, Westboro's Fran Whitten is having a strong season with the Angels' affiliate in the Arizona Rookie League. Whitten is batting .354 with a homer and 15 RBIs in 21 games; Ty Sterner, who played at Doherty, has a 2.38 ERA in 11 innings for Billings (Reds short-season) and has struck out 17; Holy Cross alum Michael Ahmed, a third baseman, is hitting .277 with more triples (2) than home runs (0) for the Dodgers Class-A team at Ogden.

Bryan LaHair (Worcester, Holy Name) is hitting .303 in his last 10 games for Class-AA Akron, an Indians farm team. LaHair is 6 for 16 during a four-game hitting streak; after batting .293 in Double-A ball for the Cubs, Kevin Brown (Northboro, Algonquin) was sent back to Class-A Kane County and in eight games here is batting .222 with two home runs.

Gardner's Oliver Drake has saves in 7 of his last 10 appearances as the closer for Baltimore's Bowie affiliate in the Double-A Eastern League; Jonnie Massad (Shrewsbury, St. John's) is recovering from a tough start in the bullpen at Vermont (A's short-season) of the NY-Penn League. Massad has allowed only one hit and no runs in five innings in his last six outings; and at Class-AA New Britain (Twins), reliever Ryan O'Rourke (Worcester, St. John's) has not allowed a run in six straight outings and teammate Jim Fuller (Marlboro) is 3-1 with a 2.73 ERA with 42 strikeouts in 33 innings.

Catching up with ...

Short-time backup catcher Guillermo Quiroz is playing for the Giants' Triple-A team in Fresno; lefty reliever Hunter Jones is with Bridgeport of the Atlantic League; submarine reliever Todd Frohwirth is a scout for the Orioles.

David Pauley is pitching for Gary Gaetti at Sugarland in the Atlantic League; Tony Fossas is a pitching coach at Class-A Dayton in the Reds organization; and emergency pitcher Kevin Jarvis is a special assignment scout for the Padres.

Jeopardy Questions

1. Who is Tim Naehring? The Boston infielder bounced into a 5-4-3 triple play at Fenway Park versus the White Sox in the first inning on June 6, 1996. Five years later, Scott Hatteberg hit into a triple play, but not on a ground ball.

2. Who are Ted Williams and Fred Lynn? Williams hit four All-Star home runs from 1941 to 1956. Lynn hit three from 1976 to 1980.

3. Who are Doug Griffin and Brian Daubach? Griffin came up with the Angels late in 1970, then was a Rookie of the Year candidate with Boston in '71. Daubach debuted with the Marlins in 1998 and got rookie votes with the Sox in 1999.

Paragon expects to resume lending next year

Paragon, the buy-to-let mortgage specialist, expects to restart lending in 2010 after seeing evidence that the money markets are beginning to open up again.

The lender, which is entirely wholesale market funded, has been in hibernation since late 2007. However, Nigel Terrington, chief executive, said: "There has been a marked improvement in price and investor demand in the past six months. I would hope to be able to access new funding in 2010."

Lloyds Banking Group, Abbey, Nationwide and Barclays have all successfully completed securitisations in recent months, proving investors are rediscovering their appetite for mortgage-backed securities. Paragon is unique in that it matches funding to the length of the mortgage sold to protect it from the kind of risk that collapsed Northern Rock.

The lender, which does not take deposits, revealed on Tuesday that profits rose 1pc to £54.3m for the year to September despite a 7pc fall in its buy-to-let loan book to £9.3bn as customers redeemed their mortgages.

Mr Terrington said he was "delighted with the outcome". "The banking industry has been bailed out but Paragon, having built a robust model, has ridden reasonably resiliently through it."

Bad debts rose from £62.2m to £65.9m but the trend improved markedly in the second half, after the Bank of England slashed base rates to 0.5pc. Mr Terrington said rate cuts had helped but added that a survey of Paragon's 40,000 customers found their interest payments are on average 3.3 times covered by rents, which suggests "they can afford a fairly significant increase and still service their debt".

Illustrating his confidence, Mr Terrington has increased the final dividend from 2p to 2.2p, payable on February 15, lifting the total 10pc to 3.3p.

#18YearsBattleOfHogwarts: JK Rowling and Harry Potter fans remember final battle

Battle of Hogwarts
Many favourite characters died in the last battle Credit: Warner Bros

It's been 18 years since the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter time - the fateful fight between good and evil took place on the 2nd May 1998.

Many favourite characters died in the last battle of the book series, and JK Rowling has started marking each anniversary with an apology for a favourite character death.

This time, she apologised for killing everyone's favourite werewolf, Remus Lupin. The bedraggled ex-Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher was adored by fans, and when the gentle and kind man was killed, many tears were shed.

Significant characters who died in the Battle of Hogwarts

Remus Lupin

Lupin, one of Harry Potter's mentors, managed to survive Lord Voldemort's wrath right up until the last battle. Sadly, the Order of the Phoenix member, who ordered and lead groups of wizards to fight the Death Eaters, died at the Battle of Hogwarts. He was killed by Death Eater Antonin Dolohov.

Bellatrix Lestrange

Although evil, insane Bellatrix was quite likeable for a death eater. The witch obsessively tried to murder Harry Potter and his allies, and managed to kill her estranged sister's daughter, Nymphadora Tonks at the Battle of Hogwarts.

However, she was eventually killed by Molly Weasley after trying to murder Ginny Weasley with a curse.

Voldemort/Tom Riddle

Lord Voldemort, the main villain of the series didn't inspire much sorrow when he was killed by the hero, Harry Potter, after a stand-off.

Severus Snape

Just as we found out the Marmite character was actually one of the good guys, he has to die. This was definitely one of the most depressing deaths in the series.

Nymphadora Tonks

She was cool - she could change her hair colour at will and liked to be called Tonks, because she hated her first name.

Her and Lupin were such a great couple - which is why it was tragic they both had to die. She was killed by her own aunt - Bellatrix Lestrange.

Fred Weasley

This was arguably the most depressing death at the Battle. He left behind his twin, George, after being killed in an explosion outside the Room of Requirement.

He used his last words to mock his swotty elder brother Percy Weasley, in typical Fred fashion.

People have been remembering the battle online

How on Earth has it been 18 years since the Battle of Hogwarts?

It might seem odd to someone unfamiliar with the timings of Harry Potter to think it has been 18 years since the Battle of Hogwarts.

After all, the novel 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', which contains the Battle of Hogwarts, was published in 2007.

Because JK Rowling didn't write a book a year, the timeline is a few years behind real life.

Below is a timeline of the events, year-by-year, in Harry Potter's world.

Copenhagen climate summit: plan for EU to police countries' emissions

Gordon Brown is drawing up plans for the European Union to become a global warming "policeman", monitoring individual countries' compliance with carbon-cutting targets.

The plan emerged from the chaotic Copenhagen conference on climate change, which ended in acrimony and mistrust between world leaders.

The summit was unable to reach a substantive deal on cutting greenhouse gases because of a row over how countries would prove that they are honouring promises to cut their carbon emissions. China in particular objected to any external monitoring of its actions.

Mr Brown and French President Nicholas Sarkozy now are working proposals for a "European monitoring organisation" that will oversee every country's actions on emissions.

The plan emerged after US President Barack Obama suggested that monitoring could be done using spy satellites.

Mr Brown revealed the plan in the early hours of Saturday morning, shortly before leaving Copenhagen.

He said: “I will work with President Sarkozy for a European organisation that will monitor the transparency that is being achieved not just in Europe and our own countries, but in every country around the world.

He added: “We’re in favour of transparency; we’re in favour of looking at what’s happening not just in our country and our own continent, but around the world.

“I think people deserve for there to be international reporting at the highest standards of what is being done.”

The prospect of EU monitoring may further antagonise China, but Western leaders have not hesitated to blame Beijing for the summit’s failure to agree to global emissions cuts of 50 per cent by 2050, or the decision not to make the Copenhagen accord legally binding.

Ed Miliband, the climate change secretary, said on Sunday the conclusion of the summit was “disappointing” and openly blamed Beijing.

He said: “If leading countries hold out against something like 'legally binding' or against the 2050 target of 50 per cent reductions in carbon emissions - which was held out against by countries like China - you are not going to get the agreement you want.”

Meanwhile, environmentalists warned that a deal to save the world’s forests has been postponed after world leaders failed to reach agreement in Copenhagen.

It was widely expected a scheme to stop deforestation would be a central part of any international deal to stop global warming.

However, although the Copenhagen Accord acknowledged the need to stop chopping down trees, the agreement is too weak to force countries to take action.

Tony Juniper, special adviser to The Prince's Rainforests Project (PRP), said the deal thrashed out by world leaders in the early hours of Saturday morning was a “huge disappointment”.

“It is delaying the moment when we take decisive action to deal with what is regarded as the gravest threat to human wellbeing,” he said.

Felling trees is responsible for nearly a fifth of all the carbon dioxide produced by mankind every year. Environmental groups have been trying to introduce measures to reduce deforestation included in some form of international treaty for decades.

The scheme, known as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation Degradation (REDD), offers money to poor nations to help them protect forests. The money is used to provide alternative incomes to poor people who rely on forests for firewood and to help set up monitoring systems to stop illegal logging. Deforestation will be monitored overall by satellite images that show if trees are being chopped down.

At Copenhagen the scheme was widely supported. However there is no legal commitment on nations to implement the scheme until it is made part of a legally-binding treaty.

Maria Curcio

Maria Curcio, who died on March 30 aged 90, was a highly sought-after piano teacher with a direct musical lineage, via Artur Schnabel, to Beethoven; shattered by years of hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam, she recovered to benefit figures including Mitsuko Uchida, Barry Douglas and Radu Lupu with her tutelage.

Rostropovich sent Alexander Solzhenitsyn's son, Ignat, to spend three years studying with her in London; Martha Argerich was devoted to her; and Alfredo Perl declared: "She convinced me that my goals – in sound quality, phrasing and articulation – were attainable. In effect, she polished me."

Maria Curcio
Maria Curcio (right) with Peter Diamand (left), Peggy Ashcroft and Benjamin Britten

Beyond the musical world she may not have been well known, yet within it Maria Curcio's influence was inestimable. Masterclasses took her from her tiny apartment in north London to Paris, Jerusalem and the United States; her individual lessons would be eagerly anticipated by the student concerned – although they were liable to be interrupted by conductors, such as Charles Dutoit, or leading agents dropping by to seek intelligence on the brightest young stars in the piano firmament.

The historical context of the repertoire was important to Maria Curcio. Chopin derived his inspiration from vocal music, she would tell her pupils, urging them to sing a phrase before playing it. Of Mozart she would demand: "Who would dare to think Mozart so unmusical that he wanted all those repetitions played alike?"

Although petite and fragile – she was once described as "a tiny, birdlike woman who moves with care as though her limbs might snap" – she had a strong and clear insight into how a student should progress. "Do not rush," was her most frequent, Schnabelian diktat. "Open your arms and embrace the world," another student was told. She saw beyond the interaction of the fingers on the keyboard, often identifying problems such as an unhappy childhood, poor teaching or ill health in her stable of pianists. "My task is to get them to liberate themselves," she declared.

Maria Curcio was born in Naples on August 27 1918 to a Jewish-Brazilian mother and an Italian father. She was playing the piano by the age of three and performing for friends and neighbours of her affluent parents by five. At seven she was taken to Rome to play for Mussolini, of whom she had heard terrible tales. When the time came to leave her hotel for the dictator's apartment, the young Maria was nowhere to be found. "I got the waiters to hide me under the dining-room tablecloth," she recalled.

Artur Schnabel (1882-1951) had been a pupil of Theodore Leschetizky (1830-1915), who was taught by Beethoven's pupil Carl Czerny (1791-1857). At the age of 15 Maria came to the attention of Schnabel (who rarely taught youngsters) on the recommendation of his son, Karl-Ulrich. Initially she journeyed to his home on Lake Como, but later she would visit him in whichever European city he was performing. In an interview in 2001 she recalled: "Schnabel said to me – and I say to my pupils – that in art no compromise is possible."

She appeared at the Aeolian Hall, in New Bond Street, London, in February 1939, in a programme that included music by Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert – and Stravinsky, whom she had met in Paris while studying with Nadia Boulanger. "Latin clarity was the outstanding characteristic of the piano playing of Miss Maria Curcio of Naples," declared The Times.

On one occasion she played piano obbligato on a recording of a Mozart recitative and aria with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and the Concertgebouw Orchestra under Otto Klemperer. She was not slow, however, to voice her opinion of the distinguished soprano, and the prospect of a repeat session with Schwarzkopf rapidly evaporated. Indeed, Maria Curcio was known for her forthright views, both positive and negative. "You can't be the friend of all great artists, because not all great artists are great human beings," she would say.

The onset of war ended any hope of a career for an Italian Jew. She followed Schnabel's secretary – Peter Diamand, an Austrian Jew who many years later would run the Edinburgh Festival – to Amsterdam, where they hid, often in attics, from the Nazis. (Diamand also spent some time in a Dutch concentration camp.) She emerged in 1945 all but paralysed by stress, malnutrition and tuberculosis. Not having touched a piano for many years, her performing career was effectively over.

In 1948 she married Diamand, who at about the same time was appointed director of the Holland Festival. But Maria Curcio still had many years of treatment to endure before she could walk or play properly.

In one hospital a doctor persuaded her that there was a piano at the end of the corridor if she could only muster the will to reach it. With typical determination she gradually learnt to put one foot in front of another until eventually she arrived at the instrument. In similar vein she then had to relearn how to play it. What had once been a natural childhood gift was now an immense struggle. Furtwängler wanted to record Schubert with her, but she still had not recovered sufficient strength by the time he died in 1954.

Diamand was appointed to Edinburgh in 1965, and the couple now spent much of their time in London, often staying with his Edinburgh predecessor, Lord Harewood. Maria Curcio served with Lady Harewood (now Marion Thorpe) on the jury of the Leeds International Piano Competition in 1966. By this time she had already given what was to be her last public performance, in 1963. But word of her teaching spread rapidly, and she was rarely short of work.

Although she was appointed visiting professor at the Royal Academy of Music, Maria Curcio's students were not solely from the conservatoires. Household names, exhausted by the jet-set lifestyle of the modern musical world, would seek a refresher lesson while passing through the concert halls of London. On one occasion the 79-year-old Konrad Wolff, with whom she had shared a class with Schnabel in the 1930s, sought her counsel, joyfully declaring afterwards that his lesson had been the highlight of his visit to Britain.

As a devotee of chamber music she played privately with Clifford Curzon; this brought her into the circle around Benjamin Britten, with whom she also played four-handed music, developing a special rapport with the composer and Peter Pears.

Although her rate for lessons was considered by some to be high, those lessons often stretched to hours – even days – and included pasta and strong espresso. She was never very well off, living in a small, dark basement flat at Willesden, with her collection of French paintings, flowers and embroidery. A picture of Schnabel sat centre stage on top of the piano.

Maria Curcio's life was documented in Music Beyond Sound (1993) by Douglas Ashley, professor of piano at the College of Charleston, South Carolina, which she visited four times in her seventies and eighties to give masterclasses. She adored travelling, and spent her last few years with Luzia, her former Portuguese cook, near Porto, where she died.

Her marriage failed to survive her husband's acquaintance with Marlene Dietrich, whom he had invited to Edinburgh in 1965. Maria Curcio and Diamand divorced in 1971. He subsequently remarried, but they remained on good terms, and she was instrumental in organising Diamand's 80th birthday celebrations in 1993.

Give 16 year olds the vote, say peers

Children as young as 16 years old should be given the vote in general elections, peers say today.

MPs' expenses: Lord Tyler claimed for mortgage, then 'sold' flat to his daughter

New legislation published on Monday would extend the right to vote to 16 and 17 year olds in all elections and referenda in the United Kingdom.

The Voting Age (Comprehensive Reduction) Bill, which is being published by Lord Tyler, would make this change with a simple amendment to electoral law.

The move follows an announcement last week that the Scottish Government will let 16 and 17 year olds vote in the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence.

Lord Tyler, who was the Liberal Democrats’ former shadow Leader of the Commons, said: “It isn’t good enough for Scots young people to be heard, just once, on this vital question, and then ignored thereafter, and worse still that English, Welsh and Northern Irish young people will continue not having a say at all.”

He said that any change could be made before the expected referendum on Britain’s continued membership of the European Union, mooted for 2017.

He added: “What about the expected referendum on Europe? I visit sixth forms regularly, and find students there more engaged and knowledgeable about current affairs, the state of the world and the state of our country, than many of the older people I bump into here in the House of Lords. It is time to give them a say.”

Lord Tyler’s Bill was backed Lord Adonis, by former Labour Transport Secretary, Lord Lucas, former Conservative Government Whip, and Independent Crossbench Peer and Baroness Young of Hornsey.

Lord Adonis said: “Young people should be able to vote at 16, so that political debate and democracy fully include them, and so that they start to consider and discuss while still at school how to use their vote.”

Lord Lucas added: “In this country, after our various efforts over past years, 16 is the age at which we accord children responsibilities.

“That is when we throw them out into the world, when we put the burdens of the world on their shoulders and that is when we should accord them the right to vote.”

A Cabinet Office spokesman said: “The Government has no plans to change the current voting age.”

Q&A: Interviewing Carmindy, Makeup Artist

Crazy Busy Beautiful: Beauty Secrets for Getting Gorgeous Fast ($8.76) is the latest release from the ever-uplifting Carmindy. Funny enough, I’ve been watching a whole lot of What Not to Wear lately, so it was really fun to be able to interview Carmindy in celebration of her new book!

Crazy Busy Beautiful is a fun and easy read that includes beauty tips and tricks from–yep, you guessed it–Carmindy! The idea behind the book is that women are incredibly busy these days, and they don’t have the time to sort through all of the beauty information out there, so Carmindy’s put her favorite tips and pieces of advice in one place. I just got my copy, but I’m excited to start reading it this weekend–it’s going to be a nice break from legal eagle reading!

Temptalia: How can women feel beautiful every day?

Carmindy: By looking into the mirror in the morning and starting with a good positive mirror mantra. With the right positive attitude any makeup you put on the skin will look more beautiful!

T: If you only have ten minutes in the morning to do your makeup, what should you spend that time doing?

C: My 5 Minute Face technique is the right way to go and you can save the other 5 minutes for sipping tea and taking a moment to visualize the great day ahead. (see below for the order)

T: What order should you apply your makeup in? (e.g. concealer, foundation, primer, powder, blush)

C: This is the order:

  1. Blend on foundation all over face including eye lids with a non-latex sponge
  2. Dab on concealer under eyes
  3. Tap on cream highlighter under the brows, on the inside corners of the eyes and on top of the cheekbones
  4. Sweep a light dusting of powder all over face including eye lids (but avoiding top of the cheekbones and under the browbone)
  5. Apply eyeliner on the upper lash line only
  6. Sweep on mascara on the upper lash line only
  7. Apply powder blush to the apples of the cheeks
  8. Finish with a quick swipe of lip color.

T: What are your tricks and tips for finding the right foundation color?

C: Swipe 3 foundation shades that are as close to your skin tone as possible along the jawline and then go to a window in the daylight and look into a mirror. The color that disappears into your skin is the correct shade for you.

T: Where do you get inspiration for the beauty looks you create?

C: Traveling the world and looking at unique women every day.

Carmindy discusses more about real beauty and how she got her start as a makeup artist in this interview.

Behind-the-Scenes: Purple Lab Debuts on HSN

Behind-the-Scenes: Purple Lab Debuts on HSN

Temptalia was invited by Purple Lab and its founder, Karen Robinovitz, to come to their launch on HSN on Thursday, February 18th. Purple Lab showed five times on HSN, and the first one was an 9am show-time, but the big show was on at 8pm. I was there for both! This is an exclusive, inside look at not only how Purple Lab’s show came together, but the process itself and how things run at HSN.

It was a very interesting and educational experience, because there really is so much that goes behind-the-scenes to put together a brand’s launch on HSN. I asked how many people it took to go from the ground and up with Purple Lab, and it was estimated to be at least 100. It takes 100 people’s hands to get a show on the air and ready to go live! I think that’s just one of those, “Whoa!” moments, because as a regular viewer, I wouldn’t have even thought about that many people having to be involved to get it from the concept to finished product.

Karen is passionate about the products she creates and totally in love with her line, so it was an absolutely incredible experience to watch someone’s dreams all come true. She said to me and others on set that she didn’t want to create a product unless it was better than the one she was currently using. Karen wants all products to be “double duty beauty,” which means they’re multi-tasking products that aren’t just color, but are color and contain ingredients helpful to the skin. She’s definitely a strong, confident woman who’s going after what she wants, and she’s been able to realize her dream of being on HSN!

Purple Lab debuted on HSN to launch five new products alongside their first product, Huge Lips, Skinny Hips. The range now includes Cheek Implants (cream blush available in two shades), Lashionista Modelista (tubing mascara/liquid liner), Silk Sheets (foundation, available in four shades), Luvah (lipstick/lipgloss duo), and Luxury Squared (concealer/highlighter).

Check out the behind-the-scenes action!

NYFW Fall/Winter 2010: Aveda @ Sophie Théallet

Aveda @ Sophie Theallet

“The Sophie Théallet hair look for this season is soft, tousled, and romantic—a mélange of country girl and princess. Hair is loosely pulled back and twisted into a textured, slightly teased ponytail with long wisps of hair framing the face.” — Antoinette Beenders for Aveda

Hair How-to:

  1. Prep damp hair with Aveda Volumizing Tonic™ for volume and shine, massaging it into roots. Blow-dry hair at half speed.
  2. Create a deep side part and separate the fringe and hair around the face.
  3. Sprinkle Aveda Pure Abundance™ Hair Potion into the rest of the hair for matte texture and tousled volume, massaging it into the scalp.
  4. Slightly backcomb hair at the crown, using a wide-tooth comb to create a textured, distressed look. Spray with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray for maximum hold.
  5. Pull hair into a low, loose, half-up ponytail and secure with an elastic band, leaving the fringe and front wisps loose.
  6. Divide remaining bottom half of hair into right and left sections. Backcomb the right section and twist it over the ponytail elastic. Secure hair just to the left side of the ponytail using hair pins.
  7. Take the remaining left section of free hair and create another loose ponytail behind the left ear. Spray with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray.
  8. Combine the two ponytails by pinning them together behind the left ear. Sprinkle Aveda Pure Abundance™ Hair Potion liberally through the length of the ponytail and tousle with fingers to create texture. Finish the look with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray.

Catch Purple Lab on HSN at 7PM EST Tonight!

I JUST got home from Tampa like… an hour ago (had to have lunch, take a shower – traveling always makes me feel EW!).  I’ve been up since midnight PST!   I’ll be working on getting photos and writing up the behind-the-scenes action and look at both HSN and the debut of Purple Lab on HSN soon.

Did you know that the shows you see on HSN are live 24/7, 364 days a year?  Even when you turn it on at 2am in the morning, you’re watching a live show.  (The only time they’re not live is Christmas.)  Just to put together Purple Lab’s debut and launch on HSN took over 100 people working hard over a period of months.  Who knew so much went into each show?

Bag Art Buys Candy and Toys

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

If you’ve ever bought something at Terra Toys, you have probably noticed that our paper bags for purchases are almost all decorated.  Employees occasionally decorate these bags, but more than 95% of bags are decorated by kids.  We pay two to ten cents per bag depending on completion and creativity.  100 bags can earn ten bucks!

Do you know any budding artists?  If so, stop by the store to pick up a pile of blank bags and a list of helpful hints and guidelines.

Bag Art

Bag Art Guidelines

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Children of any age may decorate our plain paper bags to be used by Terra Toys.  The plain white or brown paper bags may be picked up at Terra Toys (sizes subject to availability) for a 2 cent deposit per bag, which will be refunded when bags are returned.  Children may decorate the bags at home or at school: teachers may want to use bag-decorating as an activity to correlate with other classroom projects (for instance, if you’re studying nutrition, draw pictures of food!).  Terra Toys pays between 2 and 10 cents per decorated bag, prices depending both on bag size and quality of work.

Some guidelines for bag art:

 - Suggested media includes crayon, watercolour, poster paint, markers, colored pencil, collage, rubbings, stampings, stencils, etc.
 - Please do not use messy materials such as chalk, pastels, charcoal, etc., which may rub  off on hands and clothing.
 - Please do not use processes which make bags unusable, such as cutting designs into the bags or using stiff glue.
 - Make the bags bright and colorful.  Often Terra Toys customers like to use their decorated bags in place of wrapping paper.  If your bags are bright and colorful you’ll help people recycle.
 - Art may be representational or abstract; please no messages, political or religious slogans, etc.

Terra Toys reserves the right to turn down artwork which does not meet our standards.  We may also choose to pay less than the maximum price for artwork which is less than dazzling, or we may request that the artist “finish” the piece.
We realize that children of varying ages and artistic abilities are not going to produce the same quality  work; however any child or group of children, with materials and processes appropriate for their ages and skills, can produce beautiful designs.  Bag art for Terra Toys can be a good way to introduce children to the idea of working for money, and to let them learn for themselves that sometimes work is fun.  Give those junior Picassos an audience!

Growing up in suburban Detroit, David Hahn was fascinated by science. While he was working on his Atomic Energy badge for the Boy Scouts, David’s obsessive attention turned to nuclear energy. Throwing caution to the wind, he plunged into a new project: building a model nuclear reactor in his backyard garden shed. Posing as a physics professor, David solicited information on reactor design from the U.S. government and from industry experts. Following blueprints he found in an outdated physics textbook, David cobbled together a crude device that threw off toxic levels of radiation. His wholly unsupervised project finally sparked an environmental emergency that put his town’s forty thousand suburbanites at risk. The EPA ended up burying his lab at a radioactive dumpsite in Utah. This offbeat account of ambition and, ultimately, hubris has the narrative energy of a first-rate thriller.

Roots: The Making of a Teenage Scientist You-Scientist! -The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments, 1960 David Hahn's earliest memory seems appropriate in light of later events; it is of conducting an experiment in the bathroom when he was perhaps four years old. With his father at work and his unmindful mother listening to music in the living room of the family's small apartment in suburban Detroit, he rummaged through the medicine chest and undersink cabinet and gathered toothpaste, soap, medicines, cold cream, nail polish remover, and rubbing alcohol. He mixed everything in a metal bowl and stirred in the contents of an ashtray used by his mother, a chain-smoker. "I was trying to get a magical reaction, to create something new," he remembered later. "I thought that the more things I threw in, the stronger the reaction I'd get." After he finished blending the ingredients together, young David was disappointed to see that all he had in the bowl was a lifeless, grayish glob. Hence, he went back to the cabinet beneath the sink and pulled out a bright-blue bottle, which years later he realized was probably a drain-cleaning product. He uncapped the bottle and poured a healthy amount into the bowl; soon, the mixture began to bubble and threatened to boil over. In a panic, David flushed the contents of the bowl down the toilet. His parents never knew what happened, and David promised himself that he would never again try something so foolish. It was the first of many similar vows made over the years, all broken in short order. It also established a pattern: experiment, trouble, cover-up.
If David was a slightly odd child, his parents, lost in their own preoccupations, hardly noticed. His father, Ken Hahn, grew up in the Detroit area along with his four brothers and sisters. Ken's father was a skilled tradesman, a tool-and-die maker who worked for General Electric and Pratt & Whitney. At night, Ken would sit with his dad and pore over blueprints of the tools his dad made during his workday. By the time he reached Henry Ford High School, Ken had decided to pursue a similar career, though he was fascinated by the idea of drawing the blueprints, not building the tools. He enrolled in a college-prep program for mechanical engineering and after graduating attended Lawrence Technological University, a local school.
Ken was so wrapped up with his engineering studies that he had little time for dating or romance. But while a sophomore at Lawrence Tech, he and a friend were cruising Woodward Avenue just outside of Detroit when they spotted two pretty girls driving alongside his Chevy Chevelle. After signaling for them to pull into a Big Boy hamburger drive-in, Ken zeroed in on nineteen-year-old Patty Spaulding and came away with her phone number. For Ken, it was love at first sight. "She was cute as a bug," he remembered later, proudly showing off a picture of a beautiful young woman with a bouncy smile.
But Patty, having recently ended a stormy relationship, was initially aloof. She had not had many positive experiences with men. Patty had been raised in a poor region of West Virginia, and her father had abandoned the family when she was young. Her mother, Lucille, had packed up and moved the family to Detroit, where they had relatives. Lucille found work at a doctor's office, and the family moved into the middle class, albeit at the lower end of that category. It wasn't an easy life, but it was better than West Virginia.
Ken was a determined suitor, though. After a four-year courtship during which he displayed the same tenacity that he normally reserved for work-related engineering challenges, Ken finally wore down Patty's resistance. They were married in July 1974.
Like those of all residents of contemporary Detroit, Ken and Patty's lives were shaped physically, economically, and socially by the automobile industry. The metropolitan area was then home to Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, as well as to thousands of small shops that produced machine parts, brake linings, and industrial tools for the Big Three automakers. Soon after the wedding, Ken found a job as a mechanical engineer at a General Motors subcontractor, and he and Patty moved into a suburban apartment complex not far from his office. David, their only child, was born on October 30, 1976.
Ken worked long hours, designing robotic welding machines and other assembly-line equipment. He left home punctually at six in the morning, rarely returning before six in the evening and sometimes not until after David had gone to bed. Tightly wound, Ken was a dutiful husband and father but not a demonstrative one. Combined with his constant air of preoccupation, his reserve must have been confounding to a child. Even when Ken was around the house, there was little interaction between father-David remembered him as "always off in a fog"-and son, who developed an especially close bond with his mother.
In contrast to her husband, Patty was outgoing and affectionate. She loved children and painted watercolors of kids at play, some which were displayed for years at the Detroit Children's Hospital. Patty lacked Ken's focus, though, and had a hard time sticking with anything. She'd dropped out of high school three weeks prior to graduation and, despite several attempts, never got around to completing her GED. For a time, she talked about becoming a model and even put together a portfolio before abruptly abandoning the idea.
Patty doted on her son and gave him the attention he couldn't get from his anxious and distant father. When David wanted a basketball hoop in his room, Patty made Ken put one up. If David liked a song, she'd play it for him over and over again. As David remembered, "My mom might be sleeping in her room when I got home from [elementary] school, but she always popped up to see me, and we'd do my homework together. If I did a drawing at school, she always put it up on the wall and bragged about how great it was to whoever came over, even the plumber. I thought she was the most wonderful person in the world." But troubles began to dog Patty, though David was largely unaware of what was happening. She developed the drinking problem that ran in her family. A few years after David was born, she began to hear voices and thought strangers were after her. She was diagnosed with depression and paranoid schizophrenia. A variety of antipsychotic medications were prescribed. Fearing someone was trying to kidnap David, Patty took to changing the locks on the doors. She heard ghosts in the apartment building and would take David by the hand, creep down the basement stairs with a flashlight, and make sure nothing was lurking there. Ken hired a retired woman who lived nearby to check up on Patty and his son when he was at work, but by the time David was four Patty's condition had deteriorated so badly that she had to be committed to a mental hospital.
To explain her absence, Ken told David that his mother had been hurt when her car skidded off the road during a rainstorm. David suspected the story wasn't true-it couldn't have provided much comfort in any case-and felt completely abandoned. Upon hearing that Patty would have to "be away for a while," he hid behind the couch in the living room, clasped his knees to his chin, and rocked himself back and forth.
Patty returned home six months later, and though she wasn't hospitalized again after her release her illness lingered and deepened. She rarely worked and spent most of her time at the apartment, caring for David when he wasn't at school and watching TV, listening to Top 40 hits, and playing cards with her girlfriends when he was. Though Patty still pampered David, she became somewhat less attentive. Left on his own, David developed a wild imagination. He built elaborate sets in his room-caves built from pillows and forts constructed in his closet-on which he could act out games with make-believe space explorers and superheroes. He fantasized endlessly about comic-book hero Spider-Man, the alias of Peter Parker, a dweebish, bespectacled high school student who gained superpowers after being bitten by a radioactive spider.
Meanwhile, the marriage between David's parents was falling apart, riven by financial troubles and Ken's frustration with Patty's failure to look for work or, in his view, deal with her mental troubles. As David peered out from his bedroom, his parents would scream at each other across the living room, and on occasion Patty would hurl a vase or a lamp at the wall. In 1985, when David was nine years old, his parents finally split, and Patty lost custody of her son. It was then that David's troubles really began.
David stayed with his father, who soon began dating a GM engineer named Kathy Missig. Ken and Kathy-whose daughter from a previous marriage, Kristina, was David's elder by a year-didn't marry until six years later, but within a year of meeting they bought a house together in Clinton Township, a conservative working-class area about twenty miles north of downtown Detroit.
Thanks to Detroit's devotion to the automobile, urban planning and mass transit were, and are, almost unknown to the region. Clinton Township, like other outlying areas, was an endless sprawl of fast-food restaurants, strip malls, shopping centers, and other signposts of suburbia. The Hahns new home was a small but cozy split-level. The family room boasted birch paneling and a fireplace, while David's bedroom, on the top floor, looked out on a diamond-shaped deck in the backyard, with the requisite affordable luxuries of a barbecue grill, patio furniture, and an aboveground swimming pool.
Ken remained wrapped up with his job and was rarely at home and even more rarely available to his son. He'd often get back long past the dinner hour, so Kathy would leave a plate of food warming for him in the oven. David saw his dad as a hard worker but conservative and living a boring lifestyle. "He talked a lot about work and people I didn't know anything about," he said. "He was always telling me that he didn't spend much money, just a few dollars a day. I wanted my life to be more exciting than that."

The transistor is 60 years old, first created at Bell Labs in 1947

  • Jack Ganssle over at EE Times has written a lengthy article about the 60 year anniversary of the transistor.  The story takes us back to 1825 when William Sturgeon developed the first electromagnet.  We continue on toward the Titanic's 5 Kilowatt S.O.S. transmitter [Don't know why-Ed].  And then on through the world's first transistor, created at Bell Labs in 1947.  The original inventors, John Bardeen, William Bradford Shockley and Walter Houser Brattain, all shared the Nobel Prize in 1956.

    When the world's newest transistors entered "mass production," each one cost about $147 in adjusted dollars ($18 then).  At such a rate, today's Core 2 Duo, with its 291 million transistors, would've cost $42.8 billion.  That doesn't include R&D and engineering staffs, though they probably would've increased it only to about $42.85 billion.

    Read more ... EE Times.

    Author's opinion
    Just what exactly are the benefits of the transistor?  We're still trying to figure that out.  Stay tuned...

    UPDATE:  No one picked up on the Real Genius reference (from the main page)?  "The transistor, what does it look like?  Kent!  You're standing in front of the teleprompter.  Well, I didn't know."

Rajnikant’s daughter Aishwarya to turn director

August 8th, 2008 - 6:16 pm ICT by IANS

Chennai, Aug 8 (IANS) Tamil thespian Rajnikant’s elder daughter Aishwarya is all set to direct a film, sources close to her said Friday. “Already a homemaker, Aishwarya wants to create her own space in the tinsel world. Thanks to her experience in helping brother-in-law Selvaraghavan direct his forthcoming venture ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ starring Karthi and Reema Sen, she has decided to take the plunge,” a source told IANS.

“When the unit of Aayirathil was initially cool towards Aishwarya because of her introverted nature, her hubby’s brother Selvaraghavan advised her to earn her respect from the industry by mixing with the industry’s hoi polloi like her father,” said one of Aishwarya’s colleagues, who works behind the camera.

While Dhanush may bankroll Aishwarya’s debut, he may not be in it since he has no dates for the next two years, family sources added.

Aishwarya is married to Dhanush, Selvaraghavan’s younger sibling and son of director Kasthoori Raja.

The couple has a son, Yatra.

Aishwarya’s younger sister Saundarya is already a producer and inked a deal with Warner Bros to produce an animated venture “Sultan the Warrior”, starring Rajnikant.

Institutional racism would never allow an Obama to become British PM

November 8th, 2008 - 3:45 pm ICT by ANI

Barack Obama

London, Nov 8 (ANI): Barack Obama would have found it impossible to become Prime Minister in Britain because of institutional racism within the British political system, the equality watchdog chief has claimed

Trevor Phillips, the chairman of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, believes that the public would embrace a Black leader, but the system would prevent him from getting to the top.

Phillips cited the fact that there are only 15 ethnic-minority MPs in Westminster, noting that the problem is not the electorate, the problem is the machine.

If Barack Obama had lived here I would be very surprised if even somebody as brilliant as him would have been able to break through the institutional stranglehold on power within the Labour Party, The Telegraph quoted Philips, as saying.

The parties and the unions and the think-tanks are all very happy to sign up to the general idea of advancing the cause of minorities but in practice they would like somebody else to do the business. It’’s institutional racism, he added.

Phillips claimed that The Conservatives have done better than Labour at increasing the number of Black and Asian candidates.

He said he opposed all-black shortlists but said positive action was needed by all parties.

His views were supported by Adam Afriyie, Conservative MP for Windsor, who said he did not believe that he would see a black PM in his lifetime. (ANI)

Gambhir fined $20,000 for slow over-rate

New Delhi, May 8: Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir was fined for his team's slow over rate during the match against Delhi Daredevils at Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi on Monday.

According to the officials, Kolkata Knight Riders were short by an over when compared to the required rate after taking the allowances into consideration during the match against Daredevils at Kotla.

Kolkata Knight Riders' captain Gambhir, in order to cut down the run-flow, couldn't complete the given overs on time, as KKR were short by an over when assessed and was considered to be an offence under the code and conduct of IPL related to minimum over-rate offences.

Bist, Ryder to be released by IPL teams?

New Delhi, Oct 31: After revealing their plans not to retain Michael Clarke, Pune Warriors have decided to release New Zealand's Jesse Ryder, while Delhi Daredevils are also looking forward to release a few foreign recruits and Ranji Trophy's highest run-scorer Robin Bist.

According to the sources, IPL franchises are planning to retain all big names in the squad as Delhi Daredevils are planning to retian their top 6 foreign players - Kevin Pietersen, David Warner, Mahela Jayawardene, Andre Russell, Ross Taylor and Morne Morkel.

IPL 5 champions, Kolkata Knight Riders have also decided to retain all the big names for the next edition of IPL.

Delhi Daredevils retaining the foreign recruits, have decided to release Robin Bist, the highest run-scorer in Ranji Trophy last year, has not got an opportunity to play a single game and has been termed as a player suitable for the longer version of the game would not be a part of Delhi Daredevils in the sixth edition of IPL.

Interestingly, Robin Bist was not a part of the Daredevils team which toured South Africa for Champiosn League T20, while four other players - Yogesh Nagar, Puneet Bisht, Shahbaz Nadeem and Manpreet Juneja were allowed to tour with the 15-member squad.

While New Zealand's Doug Bracewell, South African opener Ghulam Bodi and Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell will be back in the pool, available for auction as they do not find a place in Delhi Daredevils' XI which already boasts of a deadly pace attack which includes Morne Morkel, Umesh Yadav, Irfan Pathan and Ajit Agarkar.

Pune Warriors also face a lot of issues as the team's performance has been a concern after their dismal show inthe fifth edition. Moreover, Sourav Ganguly's absence in the team would be felt as he was more a motivator and a mentor to youngsters.

With Michael Clarke not impressive in the fifth edition, Pune Warriors have decided not to retain the Aussie Test skipper, while they are also thinking about releasing New Zealand opener Jesse Ryder, irrespective of his performance in the fifth edition, since he has not been playing much cricket at the moment.

Actors in the News Weekly Roundup (Updated)

Jun 06, 2010

Posted by: John Admin | Comments

HP Cast

It’s been a busy week for the Harry Potter cast. This evening, a number of actors from the Harry Potter films attended the Philips BAFTA Television Awards 2010, which took place at the London Palladium. You can find an album of the red carpet arrivals and the events of the night as the ceremony unfolded in our Leaky Galleries, via this link. Additionally, the BAFTA website has a red carpet fashion feature with pictures of Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) and Julie Walters (Molly Weasley) which you can find at this link.

Julie Walters won a BAFTA for the Best Actress in a Leading Role; the Molly Weasley actress was nominated twice in the Leading Actress category and ultimately received the award for Channel 4’s “Mo”, a 2009 docudrama in which Walters portrayed the late British Labour politician Mo Mowlam. A video of Walters’ acceptance speech can be found here on the BAFTA YouTube channel, where you can also find a video of Walters on the red carpet.

Helena Bonham Carter was nominated alongside Walters in the Leading Actress category for her role in BBC Four’s “Enid,” a biopic about the life of Famous Five and Noddy author Enid Blyton.

Kenneth Branagh (Gilderoy Lockhart) won the BAFTA for the Best Actor in a Leading Role. The actor was honoured for his part in BBC One’s “Wallander.” John Hurt (Mr. Ollivander) and Brendan Gleeson (“Mad-Eye” Moody) were nominated in the same category for their respective roles in “An Englishman in New York” and “Into The Storm.”

Stephen Fry – narrator of the British Harry Potter audiobooks – and Dolores Umbridge actress Imelda Staunton were also nominated in other categories. A full list of the winners and nominees for the Philips BAFTA Television Awards 2010 can be found here on the BAFTA website.

In other news, Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) and Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter) attended the closing celebration for Marina Abramovic’s “The Artist is Present” show.

Lastly, Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) has appeared in Grazia magazine sporting a Louis Vuitton “Leo” scarf. Photographer Phill Taylor, who shot the feature, has a scan of the photo here on his blog. Wright also talks briefly about her outfit and colour choices:

When it comes to summer dressing, I like creams and whites. So I chose this beige and soft pink to lighten up a darker outfit – like my maxidress and wooden heels.
