MALPRACTICE SUITS Obama received a standing ovation when he raised the issueof doctors being afraid to practice because of lawsuits, butthere were a few boos when he said he did not support caps onmalpractice awards. Instead, Obama called for exploring a range of ideas toscale back “excessive defensive medicine.” Doctors have long complained they must pay high malpracticeinsurance premiums because of the lack of limits on suits, andthose costs are often passed to patients as higher fees. Obama said a public healthcare plan would “injectcompetition into the healthcare market that forces waste out ofthe system and keeps the insurance companies honest.” He acknowledged that expanding coverage to all Americanswould have a short-term cost but stressed it would not add tothe deficit in the next decade. But with some estimates puttingthe cost at $1.2 trillion, critics say the reforms will onlyadd to the country’s growing mountain of debt. The Congressional Budget Office said in a preliminaryestimate that a healthcare plan proposed by Democratic SenatorEdward Kennedy — closely mirroring Obama’s wishlist — wouldadd $1 trillion to the deficit over 10 years and still leavemillions uninsured.

[ID:nN15240598] “There are already voices saying the numbers don’t add up.They are wrong,” Obama said, outlining plans to pay for thereforms, including tax increases on wealthier Americans andspending cuts. A Senate Republican leader, Jon Kyl, predicted momentum forreform would slow as the public learns more about Democrats’plans. “He knows momentum will inevitably slow for something thatis extraordinarily costly, will deny people coverage that theyalready have, will ration their healthcare and could providesome kind of government insurance company that is going todrive out private insurance companies,” Kyl said.

By Jonathon Burch TALBOZANG, Afghanistan, June 16 (Reuters) – Fifty-year-old Abdul Wadud walked for two hours across Afghanistan’s remote northern mountains to hear a police commander give yet more promises of aid for those who turn their backs on growing opium Wadud does not grow drugs But if no money comes soon, he will. “Thegovernment told us several times they would help us and they didn’t,” he said, crouching barefoot on the ground in traditional Afghan loose shirt and trousers and explaining he feeds a family of 15 on occasional work as a day labourer. “If the government or the aid organisations don’t help us — yes we will have to start growing opium,” he said. “If they build us schools and roads we promise never to grow opium.” Wadud and around 30 other village elders from the area had gathered on a hillside deep inside the Hindu Kush mountains, to attend a “shura”, or meeting, organised by provincial authorities to dissuade the men from growing the drug.

Their Badakhshan province in remote northern Afghanistan has been a showcase for government efforts to battle the drugs trade, which accounts for nearly all the world’s heroin. Until 2006 Badakhshan was one of the main opium growing areas in Afghanistan, producing the country’s second biggest crop. But last year its output fell by 95 percent, to a mere 200 hectares under cultivation, close to being declared ‘poppy free’ by the United Nations, which credited government information campaigns and eradication programmes for the success there. The United Nations has warned, however, that last year’s improvement may not hold without more aid for poor farmers.

Michael Jackson’s doctor was in dire financial shape before Jackson hired him.

Reid said he was fine to play and Gundy told him that he had been moved to the back-up behind Robinson.Reid was astonished, especially after the successful 2006 season.  He threw 24 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions. He added 500 rushing yards and ranked 16th in the national QB rating. He was even a semi-finalist for the Davey O’Brien Award.Despite his previous season’s achievements, he was benched after just two games.Gundy’s decision didn’t exactly give him the results he was looking for, as OSU was beaten 41-23 the next week against Troy.Writer Jenni Carlson wrote about how Reid wasn’t strong enough, and that he was being coddled by his mother. The article enraged Gundy.The coach refuted the article in amemorable tirade.  Everybody thought that Gundy was a great coach and was defending his player.Reid, the very man he was trying to defend, knew the truth.”Honestly, the way I took it, I felt like it was all a front,” Reid says “That it was all a big show. It didn’t feel genuine.”Reid spiraled into depression.”He’d tell me, ‘Bro’, I cry myself to sleep almost every night,’ ” says fullback Jack Johnson.It didn’t help that after the Troy game, Robinson was playing like a man possessed, throwing for 23 touchdowns and rushing for 847 yards.It also seemed that Gundy was toying with Reid.  In a game that Robinson suffered a minor injury and didn’t finish the game, Reid came in and went 6-9 with 72 yards.  A good job, but he was put back on the bench the next week.The ultimate humiliation was against Nebraska.

With 35 seconds to go and the game well in hand, Reid was sent in to knee the ball, and only to knee the ball.  OSU fans, that’s right, fans of the very team Reid was playing for, mocked him, yelling, “Hey Bobby Reid, we don’t need you now! Game over!” He knew he would never play at Oklahoma State again.He planned to sign up for the 2008 Draft, but received a call from Texas Southern Head Coach Johnnie Cole asking him to come play football for them.  They were 0-11 and Reid had nowhere to go.Reid loved the idea and decided to transfer to TexasSouthern for his final year ofeligibility, and Cole loves the idea.”I’ve coached a lot of ‘em, including Tarvaris Jackson, and Reid’s special,” Cole says “I think he’s going to be a first-day guy in the 2009 draft. If he’d left this year, he’d have been just a guy, so I think his decision to come back made him a couple million He’s got his swagger back You should see that arm. The players are already following him.”The man that built himself in southern Texas finds himself just there.  He was the next Vince Young, now we’ll finally get to see if he can live up to the hype.There will be no quarterback controversy here, and I pray that Reid gets back to the form that made him one of the top quarterbacks in the nation. ”You can try to knock me down, but I’m standing on my feet strong.”I’m Joe W. Quotes and information was taken from ESPN .. NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Athletes with lingering post-injury hamstring stiffness may improve hamstring flexibility more through static leg extension and hold stretches, rather than leg stretch routines that involve gentle swinging. HealthHamstrings, positioned along the rear outer side of the thigh muscle, help flex and rotate the leg. Decreased hamstring flexibility may lead to hamstring strains during physical activity, note Professor Kieran O’Sullivan and colleagues at the University of Limerick in Ireland.Previous hamstring stretching studies have not specifically assessed people who’ve largely recovered from a hamstring injury but who continue to have stiffness and reduced flexibility. Dynamic stretching involved 3 sets of slow forward and back, knee extended leg swings.Aerobic warm-up alone and post warm-up static, but not dynamic, stretching significantly increased hamstring flexibility.

The combined warm-up and static routine was particularly effective at improving short-term flexibility among participants with residual stiffness from previous hamstring injury.However, “it is not a simple question of static equals good and dynamic equals bad,” O’Sullivan said, citing prior clear evidence of benefit from pre-participation dynamic stretching.He and colleagues, therefore, suggest continued investigations in larger injured and uninjured groups, to confirm the benefits conferred by each type of stretching.SOURCE: BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, April 2009 Health. The Cincinnati Reds came into the night of the doubleheader against the New York Mets desperate for a win. They had the struggling Bronson Arroyo stepping up on the mound to face off against another struggling starter in Mike Pelfrey. Arroyo started off the game solidly, striking out the side in the first inning, and never let up until he was taken out of the game after the eighth inning. Arroyo tallied a total of nine strikeouts to go along with only two walks.

The British government made several important errors, but the first and most crucial was the high-handed way in which it announced that it would put the pound into the ERM at a rate of DM2.95 on 5 October 1990.That fait accompli flew in the face of all the co-operative traditions of the European Monetary System, whereby any realignment of a target ‘central rate’ is a matter for negotiation. The momentum of the blow is crucial, and the small, blunt horns are a deadly armament as they concentrate the force, sometimes puncturing the neck and spinal column of the adversary.

There were three sixes, a dozen fours and a plethora of stunning shots scattered like gems among the 109 balls he faced as he helped Somerset pile up the biggest total against Yorkshire since Kent amassed 580 three years ago. At the other end Michael Burns picked up where he had left off on the opening day. He barely broke sweat as he added a further 59 to his overnight 162 to reach his maiden double hundred and reach the highest individual score against Yorkshire since Alec Stewart’s unbeaten 271 four seasons ago. It was also the highest individual Somerset innings against Yorkshire, surpassing Viv Richards’ 217 at Harrogate in 1975.By the end of his landmark innings the admirable Burns had been on duty for the best part of eight hours. When he finally gloved an attempted sweep off James Middlebrook to be caught behind he had hit a six and 28 fours and had shared in his third three-figure stand, this time 132 with Lathwell.There was more of the same after lunch, runs galore, little hope for the hapless bowlers who flogged away all the same. The only difference was that this time it was Yorkshire who were in the driving (and the cutting and pulling) seat.Yorkshire’s own Matthew Wood and his opening partner, Scott Richardson, made untroubled progress to the fourth hundred stand of the game to date.

Both batsmen were on 56 when rain brought a premature end to proceedings, with a third of the day’s allocation of 104 overs left unbowled.. The first 10 overs of the day before rain interrupted things, provided a wonderful example of the best that cricket can offer. The first 10 overs of the day, before rain interrupted things, provided a wonderful example of the best that cricket can offer.
There were three wickets, a flurry of handsome strokes, hostile fast bowling, excellent catching and outstanding ground fielding.In the first over Andy Caddick dropped short and Matthew Hayden’s hook sent a steepling catch to fine leg. It took Darren Gough a moment to sight the ball, then he adjusted quickly before showing what a safe pair of hands he has.Gough bowled the second over and the first ball, to Ricky Ponting, was on his pads and with excellent timing he eased it through mid-wicket for four. When Caddick again dropped short in his third over, Ponting hooked him square, rolling his wrists to keep the ball on the ground. Caddick over-compensated and the next ball produced a flowing on drive which brought Ponting four more runs.The score had reached 23 when Gough gave Adam Gilchrist the width and shortness to cut and Hollioake held a good one up by his face at backward point.

Caddick pitched the ball on Ponting’s pads and again mid-on had to trot back to the midwicket boundary to retrieve the ball.In the same over, Ponting, on the back foot, nibbled outside the off stump as he tried to run the ball to third man. It flicked the edge of his bat and at second slip Nick Knight went low to his left in front of Marcus Trescothick at first and came up with a beauty.Ponting has made a magnificent start in this one-day series and it would not be a surprise if long before the end of the summer his is the wicket the England bowlers will want most of all. He cannot help but provide some grand entertainment in his wristy, quick-footed way.If the rain had set in at this point and there had been no more play, I think we would still all have gone home with smiles on our faces.. Steve Waugh’s bat may lack a sponsor at present, but that has not prevented him wielding it with his customary brilliance against England. As a statement of intent it was as chilling as the Manchester air. England’s one-day defeats may have dipped further to nine in a row, but the manner in which Jason Gillespie and Glenn McGrath demolished England’s top five batsmen for just 40 runs will have caused real fears for the Ashes series next month. Chasing 212 from 44 overs, after rain had caused Australia’s total of 208 for 7 off 48 overs to be amended by the Duckworth-Lewis method, England were hit by a wrecking ball of enormous power, losing a low-scoring match by 125 runs after being bowled out for 86.It was the lowest one-day score in their history, worse than the 93 against Australia at Headingley in 1975.

America got a taste of Formula One’s political reality yesterday when an intended pre-event celebration of its return to the United States after nine years’ absence instead saw the FIA president, Max Mosley, trenchantly dismissing threats to tobacco advertising, and delivering a hefty swipe at Silverstone’s prospects of holding the British Grand Prix beyond the expiration of its contract next year. America got a taste of Formula One’s political reality yesterday when an intended pre-event celebration of its return to the United States after nine years’ absence instead saw the FIA president, Max Mosley, trenchantly dismissing threats to tobacco advertising, and delivering a hefty swipe at Silverstone’s prospects of holding the British Grand Prix beyond the expiration of its contract next year.
Reacting to suggestions that the British Government was now proposing to withdraw its planned extension of tobacco advertising for F1, Mosely said: “I don’t think it can be of any significance.

There hasn’t been any tobacco advertising in the UK for 25 years. A law made in the UK can only apply in the UK, so it won’t have any impact whatsoever in F1.”Hitting his stride, Mosley also savaged Silverstone. “It certainly wouldn’t hurt if in the UK we had a facility to the same standard as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” he said. “It is intensely embarrassing when people visit the UK and talk of staging a grand prix and then say they are going up to Silverstone to have a look and we say don’t do that, and give them another list of places to go.”I hope in the future that we do have a circuit of world-class standard.

But there is very much a question over Silverstone as a GP venue. It’s probably the worst circuit in the world from the point of view of the public getting in and out. The facilities there are very second rate and obviously need to be improved. The biggest problem is having pictures going all over the world of people stuck in traffic jams. Some took six hours to get there and never even got in.”By contrast the facilities at Indianapolis cannot fail to impress, the fact that no drivers had been able to experience the new F1 track prior to the weekend adding extra spice. Some drove it in their hire cars on Thursday, the more energetic walked it.

But for Michael Schumacher the only way to learn The Brickyard’s F1 track prior to the first practice sessions was to cruise round on his moped, stopping at regular intervals to inspect the surface and the plastic kerbs.Several drivers had hitherto fallen back on the time-honoured method of the computer game. Jenson Button, who was only 15 years old when he first watched an Indianapolis 500 race on television, admits that electronic wizardry helped. “But I kept hitting the wall, which actually was the fast way around,” he said.Button liked the circuit on his first acquaintance on Thursday “It’s interesting With the banked last corner, it’s quite strange. And there will be a temptation to go straight on the oval at the end of the main straight.”Heinz-Harald Frentzen led the drivers out when the circuit opened officially at 11am yesterday, but it was Michael Schumacher who immediately set the pace. The initial challenge came from Mika Hakkinen until his gearbox developed a problem, and then former Indianapolis 500 winner Jacques Villeneuve before Rubens Barrichello found his form in the second Ferrari.David Coulthard lasted only two laps before his McLaren-Mercedes ground to a halt with an electrical problem, and Giancarlo Fisichella became the first casualty after sliding his Benetton into a tyre barrier. The Italian was unharmed.During the afternoon’s second session Coulthard made up for lost time with the fastest lap, just ahead of Hakkinen and the two Ferraris.Schumacher liked what he saw, but said: “The banking wasn’t as impressive as I had expected, while the infield is so flat that it is difficult to work out the right line.”Button, fourth fastest in the morning and eighth overall, found his initial favourable impressions confirmed “It’s a good circuit,” he enthused.

More than a thousand human genes – each present in almost everyone on the planet – are now the commercial property of US and Japanese pharmaceutical companies, according to a survey published in the scientific journal Nature today.The Japanese and the Americans have an overwhelming hold on the ownership of human DNA – the molecular messenger of heredity – according to a team led by Dr Sandy Thomas at Sussex University, Brighton.The US and the European Patent Offices have granted 1,175 patents on human DNA sequences between 1981 and 1995 Japanese and US companies have grabbed most of them. Not one European Union pharmaceutical company ranks among the top 10 DNA patent owners, the survey found.The patenting of DNA sequences has proved controversial because it pitted scientists committed to expanding the frontiers of human knowledge against commercial enterprises that want to exploit their findings by charging royalties for anyone who wants to make use of basic information on the messages encoded in DNA.Japan’s Takeda has 63 patents, followed by Genentech and Immunex of the US with 41 and 23 respectively. It swerved and then veered straight at them.”She didn’t have a chance. Mandy was just behind the bus stop and made a grab for Natalie but it was too late.”Thankfully Mandy and Christopher weren’t too badly hurt. Mandy is in a state of total shock and Christopher has some nasty cuts around his mouth and had a chunk of glass removed from his hand.”They are back home with me but they are inconsolable.

It was the first day of the school holidays and they were excited about being off for Easter.”Mandy told me that Natalie was at her side running around in a little circle. She must have been excited about going to the shops.”Then this car came along being towed by another. Firemen and ambulancemen worked on her for a while then when we thought it was right, she was taken to hospital.”Natalie’s father, Gary Hodgson, 31, who is unemployed, said: “Natalie was a joy to have around She was any man’s perfect daughter. I can’t believe she’s gone.”I was doing some work for a friend in another part of town when my brother- in-law came and said Natalie had been hurt and was in hospital. I just dropped everything and went with him to the hospital.”I tried to go down the coridoor to see her because I didn’t know then exactly what had happened but a nurse guided me into a side room and they told me what had happened.”I still can’t believe she isn’t with us anymore. I’m just numb.”Mandy was taking the kids out around the town for a few hours.

A crew from nearby Grindon Fire Station pushed back the car and they and paramedics carried out emergency first aid before she was taken to Sunderland General Hospital, but she died later.
Her mother, Mrs Mandy Potts, 26, and brother Christopher, seven, were treated for shock and minor cuts but were later able to return to their home in the city.Police said the Fiesta was being towed along Hylton Road when the rope snapped, with the car mounting the pavement and smashing into the shelter.The fire station officer, Dave Ford, said: “When we arrived there were quite a few people lying around injured and we realised the young girl was seriously hurt, so we immediately directed our first aid towards her.”We got resuscitation equipment to her then moved the car back to give us more room. He criticised Mr Marzouk for not inserting a chest drain, which would have removed air from the body and possibly saved his life. Earlier, the surgeon had insisted he ruled out the procedure because he had not known of the existence of a pneumothorax.Dr Thornington accepted the need for a bronchoscopy because of the suspicion of a blockage to the windpipe. He said he was surprised the surgeon and his two anaesthetists had diagnosed tracheo malacia.”It is unusual because the child had not shown any typical signs of the rare disorder such as a sharp cough,” he said.The jury are expected to return a verdict today.. A six-year-old girl died after a car being towed broke free and crashed into a bus shelter yesterday.

Natalie Potts, who was with her mother and older brother, was trapped between the Ford Fiesta and the shelter in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. The diagnosis of tracheo malacia was mistakenly entertained.”He said acute bronchilitis was the underlying cause of death but it was also due to the pneumothorax, a gap between the lung and the windpipe, which was prompted by the artificial ventilation. “The effects of the treatment contributed materially to his death.”Roger Thornington, a consultant paediatric anaesthetist from the Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool, called to give expert evidence, agreed the pneumothorax occurred during the treatment. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, he died at 9.12 p.m.A pathologist, Dr David Rushton, said the artificial ventilation performed by the doctors contributed to his death “I could not find any evidence of a congenital disease.

Mr Marzouk, who performed the operation, said he made Robert a priority, but was unable to find a blockage obstructing his breathing.”On withdrawal of the bronchoscope it became clear there was a severe degree of tracheo malacia,” he said.His condition was deteriorating due to a tear in his left lung, which caused air to fill his body and his heart stopped twice. He said it was a birth defect that would have killed him sooner or later.Earlier, the couple had taken Robert to Sandwell hospital, near their home in Rowley Regis, West Midlands. Concerned at the “chaos” that they found in the casualty department, they drove him 10 miles to Good Hope hospital, in Sutton Coldfield. After a suspected blockage to the airways, caused by a mucus plug or a foreign body was diagnosed, he was transferred to Birmingham Children’s hospital.But on arrival no beds were available, so he was sent to Heartland Hospital for a bronchostomy. A paediatric pathologist, David Rushton, explained that the artificial ventilation performed by doctors during surgery had contributed to his death, on 7 June last year.His parents Julie Benton, 23, and Timothy Dawes, 32, were told by the consultant chest surgeon, Joseph Khalil Marzouk, that Robert had died of tracheo malacia, a congenital disorder in which the cartilage holding open the windpipe collapses.

What happened to that boy was terrible, but why does it need such a death for them to do what should be their duty?”Council workers support the views of the residents. A cleaner outside the block where Damilola bled to death said: “This estate was never much of a priority, partly because what is left of it will get pulled down, so I think there was a feeling of ‘Why bother?’ I have certainly never seen so much activity by us in the past.”The worker also claimed that the residents should do much more to help themselves, and that some were to blame for the state of the area.Pointing to the rows of new, low-rise houses with gardens, which have replaced some of the tenement blocks in the estate, he said: “I know a lot of people who would love to have properties like that, but even in some of those places you see the rubbish being dumped outside, you see broken windows They can’t blame the council for that, can they?”.

However, a Scotland Yard source said that no one was hurt in the raid.”Police were called by the occupiers of the house at 4am.

Fourteen years ago Angela Hudson found a job as a secretary earning £150 a week. This week she was rewarded for her loyalty with a £2.5m bonus after cashing in share options she was given by the company’s founder.
But the 43-year-old secretary, who now ranks as one of Britain’s top 400 earners of the year, will continue in her job at Jupiter Asset Management.Ms Hudson, who is single, was one of 100 members of staff to be given share options when the company was taken over for about £180m by the German firm Commerzbank in 1995. Her boss, John Duffield, is believed to have ensured his secretary was given an extra large share in return for her years of loyal service, which started with Ms Hudson arranging his schedule and taking his dictation.Commerzbank agreed to give the staff 25 per cent of the company’s worth if they promised to stay on for at least five years after the buyout. Earlier this year the bank bought the shares back from the employees for £505m.

Eat your heart out, Pickering.l The capture of a record-breaking 53lb 15oz carp sent angling publications into a frenzy, and one paid a rumoured pounds 1,000 for the captor’s story – probably the first example of chequebook journalism in angling. But just to show that God goes fishing, last week the same fish was caught again, weighing 55lb 6oz. The latest captor, Alex White, is said to be miffed that his new record attracted only a pounds 250 bid. A couple of years ago, I fished in Maine with the owner of a huge outdoor complex and his bass partner, who mended trucks Addicts? I’ll say. This $5 tome contains nearly 500 pages, and Bass Pro shops are huge.

Their Missouri branch has a 150,000 sq ft showroom, while the Atlanta store includes a 40ft aquarium so anglers can observe bass feeding habits. Bass are amusing enough, but like triple X-rated movies and cheap wine, they are not something a gentleman spends a lot of time and money on.”I, however, consider largemouths right up there with trout on the scale of respectability and have even been known to quote Russell Chatham [don't ask me] to the effect that, if a bass and trout of equal size were tied tail to tail, the bass would tow that trout clear up to Healdsburg.” This is an American way of saying that bass are stronger.There are six species, but basically anglers are after smallmouth and largemouth bass (somewhat misnamed because even a 3lb smallmouth could engulf your fist without scraping the skin).The bass fan club can best be gauged from an annual catalogue issued by Bass Pro Shops. A fish every 100 seconds might seem a great many to catch in five hours, but Pickering is perhaps the most adept angler in Britain at catching large numbers quickly He once caught 14 fish, admittedly tiny ones, in a minute. In the US, however, top-line fishers would have greeted such arm-aching exertions with amusement. After all, they compete for purses of $50,000 or more and can win with just one fish, as long as it’s the biggest.

Such rewards have generated a professional circuit and each year, one event offers a staggering $1m top prize.You might suppose that salmon or perhaps trout would be their quarry But no. More than half of America’s 56m fishers put freshwater or black bass at the top of the pile. So what’s the appeal? Even ardent trouters admit that bass are something special. Acclaimed author and trout addict John Gierach, in his latest book, Sex, Death and Fly-Fishing, writes: “Given the choice, the fly-fisher with any breeding whatsoever always chooses the spotted, streamlined fish. And as for the cricket …Elsewhere, it is a different story.

The Tour de France manages to be both a national festival and ruthlessly competitive event, while the Melbourne Cup horse race in Australia, or the baseball World Series in America remain uncompromised by worries about social or sartorial codes and are much more enjoyable as sporting fixtures for that reason.The summer season of English sport, however, remains dogged by imperial nostalgia, snobbery, frantic role-playing, posturing and, yes, persistent failure. It seemed entirely apt, then, that while our rugby players were capitulating to France and our cricketers were crumbling to the West Indies, John “warm beer” Major was running the white underpants of surrender up the mast.Another vein of nostalgia was opened up this week when Havant District Council announced that it was considering a ban on “street football” in order to prevent general rowdiness and damage to gardens. The notion was soon put around that such a ban, if applied nationwide, would seal off the well-spring of our youthful footballing talent.Such traditionalists as Tommy Docherty and Bob Wilson were encouraged to reminisce at how their own skills were honed on bomb-sites and street corners, dodging Hovis delivery bikes and whippets, and kicking the withered shell of a tennis ball against a garage door. After the Denmark event, a spokesman for Imperial Tobacco said, with gritted teeth: “Embassy is thrilled to pay out the biggest prize in angling.” Undoubtedly it took the precaution of insuring against the unlikely event of anyone breaking the record.
Pickering’s haul comprised 170 bream, four roach and four perch. Earlier this year, it forked out pounds 147,000 for Stephen Hendry’s maximum 147 televised break at the world snooker championship.

The underlying problem is that to write the sort of tunes that register with average ears means writing diatonically – in a language which, however fondly we might feel for it, is not the language Of Our Time. Malcolm Arnold’s tuneful scores accordingly sound older than they are, and they’ve been doing it for 50 years But don’t dismiss them just for that. They’re usually well-written, with insider knowledge of the orchestra, and some (not all) are powerful works. My one objection was that Ms McFadden’s diction was too poor and the auditorium lighting too low to follow the words in any way – and, for once, the textural weight of Birtwistle’s writing was light enough to suggest that he did want the words to register. But given the impenetrability of the poet, we may not have been missing so much there.People who boo Birtwistle tend to like Malcolm Arnold, whose 75th birthday was observed, some months in advance, with a Barbican concert by the LSO last Sunday. Arnold is that relic of a former age, a tunesmith – you can whistle him – and tunes prompt what is probably the great hypocrisy of modern music: we all want them but we disallow them on the grounds of aural health, as though they were a cream-cake for the ear.

Birtwistle likes to say that what interests him in theatre is where the characters are introduced, and that from then on, there’s a risk of boredom. Pulse Shadows is nothing but the introduction of characters; and with such superb interpreters as the Arditti Quartet (the undoubted leaders in the field of avant-garde quartet performance), the mixed- instrument ensemble Capricorn, and the soprano Claron McFadden, it certainly wasn’t boring. The writing is keen, economical, an antidote to the excess of recent scores like Panic, but with no rationing of ideas. It’s all exposition, endlessly inventing new material, rather than developing what has already been established. Anyone familiar with Birtwistle’s work will know his fascination with the dramatic possibilities of fragmentary statements, and Pulse Shadows is one of the most eloquent of all his essays in the subject. The analogy is with the sort of broken artefact you’d find at the Parthenon: a linear unfolding of ideas and images with sections obviously missing.

And in structural terms it echoes the way Birtwistle reads the poems in the parallel song sequence. They are all by Paul Celan, the Romantic Expressionist poet whose evocative but unfathomable verse does indeed read like narratives with missing segments Fragments of a hidden whole. Not that it sounds like Dowland, but the connection is there, and felt.
The most interesting thing about the quartet-writing, though (and it’s worth saying that Birtwistle has no real track record in the genre, although quartets do feature in Secret Theatre and his In Memoriam Stravinsky), is that some of the movements come in the form of what he calls a “frieze”. And even though the language of the writing differs, the ensemble music comes close to a conventional accompaniment: pliant, supportive. The quartet music is more assertive, with a contrapuntal vigour rooted in the old English renaissance tradition of the consort of viols. In talking about it, Birtwistle says there can’t be a relationship between the songs and the quartet movements, because their respective sequences are random: when it came to fixing a performance order for the premiere he just “shuffled the pack” But I’m not sure how much I believe that.

Kanye West is known for his history of public outbursts throughout the years.

Leaders Hibs could be without John Hughes, Lee Power and Paul Tosh, although striker Kevin Harper is set to return to the side.St Johnstone are struggling to raise a side because of injuries. Central defender Jim Weir and midfielder Leigh Jenkinson are among eight players who could be sidelined for the showdown with the champions, Rangers, who will be without Jonas Thern. However, Alex Cleland and Stale Stensaas are expected to return after missing the 2-1 Uefa Cup defeat in Strasbourg.. After the impressive display by Chelsea’s Italian players on Thursday night, England’s World Cup hopes were given a boost yesterday when Alan Shearer had the plaster-cast and pin removed from his right leg

“It’s a relief to have the pot taken off. Defender Dave McPherson is back in training, but this match has probably come too soon for him.

Struggling Dundee United may give a debut to Swedish defender Magnus Skoldmark if they can get international clearance.
Greig Denham is ruled out of the Motherwell side by suspension following his sending-off in the 3-2 defeat by Celtic last week and Steve Craigan could come into the defence as they chase their first home League victory of the season. Second-placed Hearts are again looking to Jim Hamilton in attack after his double against St Johnstone last week. Dutch winger Regi Blinker is ruled out of the Celtic side for the match against Aberdeen after dislocating his shoulder in the Uefa Cup draw with Liverpool in midweek, but Danish defender Marc Rieper is set to make his home debut after his pounds 1.5m move from West Ham. If they had, the Everton manager would surely have given up his pursuit of Fabrizio Ravanelli and offloaded the beleaguered Nick Barmby.Finally, if anyone can throw light on Stockport’s unique motto, which describes them as “The Friendly Football Club”, don’t expect it to be ex-managers Dave Jones and Danny Bergara. The former was recently snubbed by the club he led to promotion and Coca Cola Cup renown last season when they refused to stock his book in the club shop, while Stockport’s parting gift to Bergara, who had taken them to two play-off finals and two Autoglass Trophy finals, was a punch on the head from chairman Brendan Elwood No prizes for guessing the motto of that story.. There was certainly no sign of Bruce Rioch and Arsenal’s board of directors paying any heed to the Highbury motto Victoria Concordia Crescit (Victory comes through Agreement) when they came to blows, nor is there any evidence to suggest that anyone at Everton has thought to remind Howard Kendall that Nil Satis Nisi Optimum (Only the Best is Good Enough) at Goodison.

Okay, so Chesterfield may continually “aspire” to greater heights – witness their performance in reaching the semi finals of the FA Cup last season – while Kilmarnock could do worse than take heart from their motto Confidemus (Let us have Confidence) when they try to overcome the 3-1 first leg deficit against Nice in the Cup- Winners’ cup.But try telling Burnley, currently propping up the Second Division that “work is the reason and the reward”; or that it’s all about “progress” to Blackpool, who haven’t escaped the clutches of the Second Division for five years. They were enraged by the club’s choice of new crest and motto, claiming that the crest is too similar to Newcastle’s and that the motto – Connectatio Excellentiae (In Search of Excellence) – was simply plucked, without thought, from the pages of a Latin dictionary. After rumours suggesting it was borrowed from a local Gateshead bus company proved to be unfounded, a local paper acted as a forum for fans’ personal preferences, which range from the angry (Let’s Shaft the Fans) to the more pragmatic (In Search of Promotion).Being realistic, it’s doubtful that a motto has any bearing whatsoever on a club’s performance these days. Any Spurs fan would concede that “Things can only get better” might be a more appropriate maxim.But then fans are seldom canvassed on issues such as mottoes, as Sunderland fans know only too well. But if we’re picking holes in club mottoes, then Spurs has to take the biscuit.
