And while his 2009 performance was impressive on the surface, the underlying metrics in the second half a cause for some concern (4.56 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 32 percent contact rate, 64 percent strand rate, and a -1.8 RAR).Still, his strikeout rate (12.1 K / 9 IP) demonstrated he knows how to miss bats.

In a recent Virgin webcast, Brian May stayed on for an hour and a half beyond his allotted time and bravely requested that the final tranche of the webcast be left unmoderated George Michael, too, overshot his slot. “I really enjoyed myself,” he said after the event.For the celeb and his or her managers, agents and record or film company, the web chat isn’t just a PR opportunity, it’s a safe house. Though the impression given at a celeb chat is of easy-going banter, questions are generally tightly controlled by online moderators. The celebrity gets one-to-one contact with fans whilst remaining at an impenetrable distance.For the celebrity, a web chat is a relatively risk-free venture compared with a live TV or radio interview.

There are unlikely to be nasty surprises or nutters and he or she gets to be associated with a hip new medium to boot. As Niall MacAnna points out: “George Michael can chat to thousands of his fans online whilst remaining in the privacy of his record company and without intrusive media.” In other words, in cyberspace no one can see you cringe.How long this will last is another matter. Right now, the celebweb chat remains relatively free of the usual constraints of celebrity media events, but it’s surely only a matter of time before agents demand syndication deals and serial fees for web chat transcripts. As more ISPs enter the fray, competition for A-list celebs will inevitably become fiercer.Meantime, the punters themselves remain circumspect. Though attendance in chat rooms for George Michael’s web chat may seem high at 9,000, the figures are still small compared with TV Disappointment travels fast in cyberspace. Confronted by all the pre-publicity, punter expectations are high and there is anecdotal evidence that they are not yet being met.

After the George Michael event, participants in one chat room at Michael’s record company seemed unimpressed. “Edge” from New York commented: “Given all the software stuff we had to load, it was shit, really. I mean, who knows if it was really George?”Michael’s managers remain positive about the medium “We’re very happy with the George Michael chat. It gives artists a greater lead in portraying their own image,” says Bob Stamegna of Aegean Business isn’t bad, either. “We have a marked increase in members of the official online George Michael fan club. Internet sales aren’t yet mind-bogglingly good but the event increased both sales and awareness,” he adds “Right now we have to be open minded.

The Internet is still very much an add-on.”For the time being, the celebweb chat event remains very much in the teething stage, still dependent on more traditional media for its sustenance. But in a couple of years from now, who knows? It may well be biting the hand that feeds it.. LIKE MANY of the unfortunates who live outside the delivery area for Tesco’s online supermarket, I still have to buy my groceries the old- fashioned way. The new EC legislation on labelling for all genetically modified foods has made my shopping trips a lot more entertaining – albeit longer – since it seems to take the best part of the evening to read the labels on my usual basket-load.

I’ve been an avid label reader since learning that food manufacturers have more than 40 ways of disguising MSG (a toxic substance that gives you headache but appears in hundreds of food products). In recognition of the semantic creativity of the food industry, a campaign was set up ( http:// www.truthinlabeling ) to provide consumers with clear interpretation of labelling mumbo-jumbo.
Food labels are a source of mystery to most food scientists, not to mention us consumers. However, things get worse with genetically engineered food labels, as they bring a new meaning to the word “obscure”. Since the notion of being a guinea pig in the largest food experiment in the history of humankind is mildly unappealing, many consumers are bringing their magnifying glasses to the supermarket in an attempt to figure out what is lurking in those tinned tomatoes.The modified food revolution is great for the farmers but not so good for consumers, who may find out that those new food additives can cause allergies, or auto-immune diseases and contain small but potentially harmful amounts of toxins.Unpredictable side effects are occurring in many genetically modified food products and, unless you studied the labels, you wouldn’t know that some alien DNA disguised as fillers appears in many burgers, margarine, vegetarian meat substitutes and even baby products ( http:// www.naturallaw. org.nz/genetics/g-danger.htm).It is estimated that some 60 per cent of food on supermarket shelves has been tinkered with directly or indirectly, and only a big magnifying glass and a PhD in genetic engineering will guide you through the confusion.For thousands of years we have relied on our senses for food selection. Our ancestors survived by perfecting their senses of smell, touch and taste, to be able to detect a poisonous berry, dodgy meat or lethal mushroom. Today, though, you could not tell the difference between two identical tomatoes, one genetically engineered with bacteria-derived kanamycin and the other from a wholesome, organic farm in Devon. They look the same but can have very different effects on your long-term health, or even your children’s health.That means a trip down the supermarket aisles and physical contact with food is simply an obsolete way of shopping for groceries in this new, information-rich age.

Most mobile prices in the UK compare favourably with other European countries. And the average cost has declined by 24 per cent since January 1999.If we are a bit complacent, having to price everything in euros would shock us. Compared with France, Brits pay more for transport, property, restaurant meals; likewise the French would see that we pay less for pharmaceutical products, household equipment, clothes. This is why monetary union would eventually be deflationary as consumers came to question differences between members states.

But I am not convinced that this has yet happened on the Continent, even though every invoice shows the amount payable in euros as well as in the local currency. You need euro coins jangling in your pockets before you take notice.It may be, too, that we are not really complainers by nature, though we do more of it than we used to do. Thomas Kielinger, the London correspondent of the German daily, Die Welt, writing in this newspaper last week, gave a list of recent calamities – the state of the NHS and the railways, the London Underground strike, and said that in Germany such imperfections of public services would cause an open revolt. But instead we call upon our “huge reservoirs of forebearance” and an almost Russian capacity for suffering, and stay calm, passive even.Manufacturers and providers of services are also becoming more adept in disguising the true cost. This is done by publishing a bewildering range of prices, discounts, special offers.

As the Consumers’ Association noted with regard to car manufacturers, they brag about price cuts which are really marketing gimmicks; they give reductions with one hand, but take them back with the other by means of specification downgrades; they refuse to cut list prices but offer cash incentives. Likewise Oftel’s research showed that many consumers find information on mobile telephony products confusing.Such practices have been beyond the power of regulators or competition watchdogs until recently. It isn’t market rigging; it isn’t price fixing; it isn’t collusion between competitors; it isn’t monopolistic behaviour. It is the deliberate creation of confusion.There is, however, a solution. It has been found by the regulator of financial services, the Financial Services Authority Markets in financial products have long been opaque.

Rarely is a price as commonly understood actually quoted at all. There are, too, special charges which the consumer bears – the commission earned by sales intermediaries. As a result, it is almost impossible to determine what is the real cost of, say, a personal pension plan.The answer? The FSA is experimenting with establishing what it calls a comparative information scheme. As well as collecting and publishing prices charged by competing providers of a particular product range – where they could be established – such features as financial strength, risk and return, minimum payments, customer service and clarity of literature would be assessed and made widely available to consumers.

I wanted to do something mainstream, I wanted to do something heroic, I wanted to get paid You know, I didn’t want to step into dark, indie world But it was great material. It was like it chose me.’”Shrinking with fear and self-loathing, Bacon’s understated performance is powerfully sympathetic. How did he approach the character? “Same as any other,” he says. “There’s whatever research you might want to do – in this case, you can read clinical studies, psychological studies of paedophiles, or crime statistics and they might help to a certain extent but it’s not like I could go and hang out with sex offenders and find out what a sex offender looks like and walks like and talks like. “I did it in Sleepers, I was just coming off Mystic River, which thematically was about bad things happening to children, and I was just about to direct Kyra in a movie that was also, if not about sexual abuse, about children getting into sad, sad situations It was exactly the opposite of what I was looking for.

That doesn’t happen in The Woodsman.”The ultimate perversion of his eternal boyishness, Walter seems the perfect part for Bacon. “If you’d asked me at the time, was I interested in playing a sex offender I would’ve said no,” says Bacon. “People who do bad things to children are often larger-than-life figures. Hollywood does that because audiences like to see the bad guys destroyed In Sleepers, I played an abuser of young boys When I was killed, the audience felt great. With his cocky strut, he has become adept at playing predatory, sexually ambivalent characters such as Meg Ryan’s desperate dog-walking suitor/stalker in In The Cut. (Typically, Bacon auditioned for the lead “I wanted that part, I wanted it real bad” but ended up with the disturbing cameo.)No-one understands Bacon’s unsettling appeal better than Bacon who, in his new film, has cast himself as the creep next door Except that, in Bacon’s hands, Walter is not a creep He’s an ordinary guy who happens to be a paedophile “I wanted to make my character a real person,” he says.

It’s this ambiguity, this almost-pretty, almost-mean thing that makes Bacon so compelling.Even if he’s not physically constrained – in space, on a raft, in a prison cell – Bacon generally picks roles which involve psychological repression of one kind or another: anger, violence, or deviancy, for instance. Ironically – for the film that was to become the chewing gum on the heel of his career – he wasn’t even a shoo-in for Footloose. Indeed, so unconvinced was the then-studio-head Dawn Steel that she famously went around Columbia flashing a photo of Bacon asking, “is he fuckable?” Sure, his high cheekbones, snub nose and deep-set blue eyes were handsome enough but there was something subversive, un-American about that knowing smirk. He’s the industry insider who plays the outsider but still yearns to be “in a big studio picture kicking ass, getting the girl, driving the car,” the fantastic actor who’s done more than his share of B-movies (the giant-earthworm-horror Tremors, the invisible-man romp The Hollow Man, the schoolgirl sex-thriller Wild Things.)When it comes to casting, Bacon’s looks have worked both for and against him. Beneath it all, though, was the twin determination to be a serious actor and to make it big.

“Yeah, in terms of what I aspired to, the two things have sorta gone hand in hand,’ he agrees, “or rather they’ve been conflicting.”The result is Bacon’s cult status, affectionately held among audiences, as a Hollywood star without many starring roles. From an early age, he had to steal scenes from an ensemble cast By the time he was nine, all his siblings had left home. At 17, he did too, skipping college to go to New York and study drama at The Circle in the Square It was the seventies Kevin took drugs, chased girls, had fun. Instead he’s shown a versatility and skill that often threatens to outclass the star. In Apollo 13 he cannily decided to be “the quiet one” – instantly making his character more intriguing than windy old Tom Hanks, while in The River Wild the amoral energy of his white-trash anti-hero was more appealing than Meryl Streep’s “supermom”.Born into a Philadelphia family of high achievers – his Mum was a teacher and liberal political activist, his Dad a famous city planner – Kevin was the youngest, by far, of six kids. Nobody saw it.”So Bacon began to take supporting roles in films that people would see.

Preliminary fiscal 2008 projections pointto another $800,000 reduction in the deficit.

[ID:nMAT009236] RENAULT (RENA.PA)(RENA.PA) Renault Chief Operating OfficerPatrick Pelata said the group is already feeling the benefitsof a trade-in incentive introduced by the German government. (NASDAQ – DBRN), today announced that it will be presenting atthe Bank of America and Merrill Lynch 2009 Consumer Conference to be held at ThePalace Hotel in New York, NY on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at 10:05 a.m ET. Tommy Kramer was the quarterback, Darrin Nelson was the running back, and yes the infamous Anthony Carter was the wide receiver. On the one hand, a team has the ability to select a young player of immense talent and skill.

“I can’t believe how some clubs have failed to regulate these deals – aren’t they supposed to be businessmen?” said one agent, who asked to remain anonymous.Jon Holmes is pessimistic about whether reform will come about: “We need much tighter regulation by the Football Association and if they will not act – and I am not sure whether they will do so with sufficient vigour – then the Government must do something. This means there is no incentive for players to shop around for agents, said John Williams, director of the Centre for the Sociology of Sport at Leicester University. They were already under pressure from MPs and others, even before the disclosure this week of the £13m paid by Manchester United to outside agencies, including Elite, co-owned by Sir Alex’s son, Jason.Jon Holmes, chief executive of one of biggest agencies, SFX, which represents England stars such as Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard, agrees with critics that the concern about his profession is justified: “Football is now very big business and like all big businesses it is capable of corruption. Suddenly players were earning huge money, sportswear firms craved endorsement and transfer fees rocketed. Footballers suddenly needed people to handle all this.There are now 229 officially registered English agents and about another 55 in Scotland; all of whom have to pass a Fifa examination to establish their credentials.

Then, in the early 1990s along came the Premiership and Rupert Murdoch, anxious for people to buy satellite dishes. Although the Government has yet to respond, the MPs have already decided to survey clubs about agents and are said to be considering another inquiry solely into the subject of agents.Only a dozen or so years ago, agents did not exist. If only one tenth of what is said to be going on actually is going on, then we need to take action about it.”Earlier this year, the All-Party Football group of MPs called for payments to agents by clubs to be made public – a move endorsed by the non-Premiership clubs – for all employees of agencies to be licensed and for a levy on transfer deal commissions to be ploughed back to help the grassroots of the game. David Dein, the vice-chairman of Arsenal, who has good cause to be wary, is said to sometimes make them sign deals on a copy of the Bible.Over the past few years agents are said to have indulged in massive profiteering at the expense of clubs, aiding the demise of Leeds United and the failure of the Scottish national side along the way. Now, their activities have cast a long shadow over the career of Sir Alex Ferguson.Although there are now growing calls for regulation to govern their activities, it remains unclear whether either the Football Association or the Government will take action to ensure greater transparency. Now, in the heady world of the Premiership and its European equivalents, endorsement deals and multimillion-pound TV rights, they are an intrinsic part of the game.
But they have also been accused of being greedy leeches.

Back in the days when members of England’s World Cup winning team were forced to auction their shirts and medals to make money, football agents simply did not exist. But police confirmed that there are greater concerns surrounding security at England’s second match against Switzerland the following week in Coimbra, north of the capital.. The police operation will be “high-visibility” and “non-confrontational”, aimed at removing individual offenders.England’s first match against France in Lisbon on 13 June is expected to attract 30,000 England fans. David Swift, the Deputy Chief Constable of Staffordshire and head of the British police team for Euro 2004, said the operation would concentrate on people with convictions for football-related violence.Convicted hooligans were warned yesterday that they would be caught if they attempted to enter Portugal from airports in Scotland and Northern Ireland, or if they flew to Malaga in southern Spain to use that as a jumping-off point.Mr Swift said police tactics in and around stadiums had been developed over the past year with their counterparts from Portugal and the Netherlands.

If they don’t win this year, it will be difficult in the future as well. Ferrari really need to win this championship and we need to win it as well.”
Briatore firmly believes that F1 will survive long after the curtain finally comes down on the Schumacher era towards the end of the month, in Brazil “You know, I believe the sport is so strong. Whatever actors you have in this movie, sooner or later the actors stop and the movie is going on We remember Senna and he is the classic example. We have a lot of champions now, a lot of good drivers, quick drivers and really we need another star in Formula One on the driver’s side and this is something we are missing. He is also one of those people who tend to see the bigger picture in Formula One (unless his driver is on the receiving end of a stewards’ penalty, in which case he can be as peevish as the best of them).

Having poached Michael Schumacher from Eddie Jordan back in 1991, when Renault were called Benetton, and assisted him to two of his world titles (in 1994 and ‘95), Briatore is ideally placed to assess how the German’s announcement of imminent retirement might affect him in the three final races as he goes head-to-head with Briatore’s current charge, Fernando Alonso.”I don’t think it will affect him,” he insisted, “but for sure, Fernando is very strong. Anyone dares challenge your authority, look like you’re not amused And if they continue to? Off to Australia with them. That is where Adam Scott will likely be sent back to today as he attempts to stop Tiger Woods’s latest restatement of his majesty. Yesterday, the young man from Adelaide was one of the brave souls who tried in vain to cut into the world No 1’s overnight lead in the Amex World Championship tournament here and, indeed, he was the one who fared best of all.. Say what you might about Flavio Briatore, the colourful maverick who steered Renault to their world championships last year, the guy has a sense of humour and a sense of theatre. Teeing off first on a Saturday morning at a regular tournament is not like the Ryder Cup Just take away several thousand people – and decibels.

Frankly, Paul Casey would have preferred to have been in bed. The right-back profited from a fine diagonal ball by Simon Lappin before thrashing a dipping right-foot volley over the goalkeeper Zibi Malkowski from the edge of the box.Hibernian were stung and Zemamma almost equalised within two minutes but the Moroccan midfielder saw his deft free-kick come back off the post. Queen Victoria was wont to spend her weekends at the Watford stately home that is now The Grove golfing complex and the old girl would undoubtedly have approved of the actions of the head of sporting royalty here yesterday. If ever a player was spent, this was Casey here at The Grove.

The World Match Play champion, and one of the stars of Europe’s Ryder Cup victory, had enjoyed his finest fortnight but this was one week too far “I am exhausted,” the 29-year-old said “I’m trying like hell but nothing is happening.”. Hibernian’s anxiety grew as the substitute Steven Fletcher saw his goalbound volley blocked by Van Zanten and the Edinburgh side sensed it would not be their day when Bullock produced a breathtaking save to paw away Benjelloun’s hooked shot.. The second half was a far more entertaining affair, peppered by fine saves from Bullock and Malkowski, however the contest might have been different had the referee, Stuart Dougal, punished a handball by St Mirren’s Kirk Broadfoot.John Sutton responded for the hosts with a clever stepover and shot that narrowly flew over. The former Middlesbrough player’s impressive work at Easter Road – on a strict budget – has not gone unnoticed at West Bromwich Albion, where Bryan Robson’s departure has left a vacancy.Sadly for Mowbray, his two best players, Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson, were missing after being sent off last week against Falkirk and that contributed to a lack of drive and invention in the Hibernian midfield. It was 25 minutes before the visitors created an opening, when Ivan Sproule’s menacing cross was narrowly missed by Merouane Zemmama’s attempt to fashion a diving header.Then, Hibernian’s other Moroccan, Abdessalam Benjelloun showed great skill to carve St Mirren open on two occasions but wasted both, overhitting one pass to Dean Shiels and greedily shooting at Tony Bullock when Sproule was screaming for a pass.However, just when the game looked as if might be suffocated by ineptitude, Van Zanten conjured up a sublime moment of skill to put St Mirren in front. However, Campbell had been poised to shoot into an unguarded net.Again, Kelly thought it was the correct decision. He said: “My initial reaction was that Steve Bennett got it right.

Normally, I’d turn around to the goalkeeper and say get ready you’re going on, but not with that one.”For all of Birmingham’s grievances, they were guilty of not killing off the game and were punished late on when Hammond stabbed home Josh Row’s cut-back. A valuable point for Leicester, and two vital ones lost by a worryingly misfiring Birmingham.. Promoted sides often have their wings clipped before the autumn but St Mirren are still ascending after a celestial strike from David van Zanten yesterday sent them up to third place in the Scottish Premier League. The right-back’s sublime 39th-minute volley decided this contest at Love Street against a Hibernian side who were a shadow of the team that took Rangers apart a fortnight ago.
St Mirren’s manager, Gus MacPherson, kept faith during the summer with the unheralded players who took the Paisley side up and challenged them to show the outside world that they were capable of playing in the top flight.Van Zanten, a young Irishman who was picked up from Celtic, did just that and completed an Edinburgh double for Saints, who have already won at Hearts this season.The visitors arrived having endured yet another week in which their manager, Tony Mowbray, has been linked with yet another job in England. “I didn’t think it was handball, but I will have a look at the video. I thought the referee was good today, though, and for our endeavour I think we deserved to get something out of the game.”Though they worked tirelessly, Kelly’s inexperienced side were fortunate to leave St Andrew’s with a point. They fell behind to a 56th-minute Gary McSheffrey goal when the £4 million winger latched on to DJ Campbell’s through ball to score his first League goal for the club with his weaker right foot.Two minutes earlier McSheffrey had been denied his landmark moment by the Leicester goalkeeper, Logan, who was passing a milestone of his own as he made his first League appearance.

The FA Cup, as their own team selection indicated, is not a priority but to be beaten by a team which had made seven changes will do little for their confidence.. Mark Cooper, the Tamworth manager, slipped away to sit in his office as the Conference part-timers took Championship play-off contenders Stoke to a penalty shoot-out after extra time failed to separate the sides in last night’s third-round replay at The Lamb It proved a wise decision. Tamworth, having taken a first-half lead through Nathan Jackson only to be pegged back by Paul Gallagher in the 81st minute, were finally edged out of the Cup when Stoke’s Carl Hoefkens converted the 12th spot-kick. Albion, whose goals came from Richard Chaplow, his first in a frustrating year at the club, thus missed out on a fourth-round derby tie against Birmingham City. More damaging may be the psychological impact of this defeat. This was not so much a giant-killing as an audition for the Premiership, which the Championship leaders, Reading, passed in thrilling style.

Fielding an under-strength side they gave top-flight West Bromwich Albion a two-goal start but rallied to win this third-round FA Cup replay with a well-taken hat-trick by Leroy Lita. However, Bennett did not include any mention of misconduct from either Ferguson or any details of Rooney allegedly kicking a dressing-room door in his report to Soho Square, and the matter is now considered closed.. He will miss tonight’s FA Cup third-round replay with Burton Albion, Sunday’s Liverpool game and next Wednesday’s Carling Cup semi-final second leg with Blackburn – all at Old Trafford.Ferguson has been more fortunate after letting fly with a verbal tirade at Bennett about the Orpington official’s handling of the Manchester derby.The United manager was particularly annoyed by Stephen Jordan’s tackle on Wayne Rooney, which saw the City man rake his studs down the striker’s shin, which went unpunished. Bennett showed the 20-year-old a straight red card and United went on to lose 3-1.
United’s rejection means Ronaldo will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect. However, his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has escaped FA action after his half-time altercation with the referee, Steve Bennett. Ronaldo was sent off on Saturday for a lunge at the City striker Andy Cole with United behind 2-0 in the league match. A Football Association disciplinary commission hearing yesterday rejected Manchester United’s claim that Cristiano Ronaldo was wrongfully dismissed in Saturday’s defeat at Manchester City and the winger will now miss Sunday’s Premiership match against Liverpool.

Kelly handed in a transfer request last month because he wants regular first-team football.The Spurs striker Mido, who is on international duty with Egypt in the African Nations’ Cup, believes he will be out there for the duration of the tournament.Mido has tipped the host nation to meet Didier Drogba’s Ivory Coast in the final of the tournament, next month.. He told me I was one of the major aims for Arsenal for the winter transfer window. It was dear to my heart.”The Spurs right-back Stephen Kelly could become the next player to leave after being linked with a move to West Ham as a replacement for Tomas Repka who is set to return home to Sparta Prague. I met a Tottenham official last Friday morning,” he said.”But the Gunners already made an offer for me late in August.

I even talked myself with [vice-chairman] David Dein some days ago. Spurs refused to comment on their move for Johnson yesterday, while Adebayor admitted he met with officials from the club last Friday before signing for Arsenal instead.
“Other clubs like Tottenham and West Ham wanted me. Tottenham Hotspur failed in a last-minute attempt to snatch Arsenal’s new signing Emmanuel Adebayor from under the noses of their north London rivals. Martin Jol’s search for a left-sided player continues after a £1m offer for Middlesbrough’s teenage winger Adam Johnson was also rejected. The Middlesbrough defender Ugo Ehiogu will not be allowed to move to West Bromwich on loan. Albion want to recruit the 33-year-old until the end of the season, but the Teessiders are believed to be ready to agree only a permanent move. Steve McClaren, the Middlesbrough manager, had aborted the former England international’s transfer when it was feared that Middlesbrough’s captain.

He may suffer from the same disease that afflicted the porters at my university The son of Archbishop Tutu also happens to be called Trevor. Yet he asked me if I was still doing the TV programme that he and I had hosted together, on a channel that I have never been near, and then started to talk about the times we worked together. But he didn’t have an aide-memoire, so it must have been genuine Anyway, TMFAINTW was charm itself. So was The Great Interrogator, whom I had not met properly before, and to whom I’d never been properly introduced, yet who greeted me as an equal.Yet 10 minutes later I bounded up to a lesser-known scribbler who has from time to time been paid by TV companies, and whom I had met briefly on a couple of occasions I have never spoken more than a dozen words to the man. There is a class of hugely well-organised Americans who have your family history down in their address books, so that no business conversation passes without an enquiry about your younger daughter (“she must be nine now, right?”) leaving you bewildered at their powers of recall.

(Sorry Jeffrey; I could arrange the fatwa if you really fancied it, but it would make running for Mayor of London very, very hard – security would probably soak up next year’s advance. It’s Salman Rushdie I’m talking about.)I hadn’t seen Salman for some years, except across a crowded room, so I would not have expected him to remember me (shouldn’t think he watches television a lot); more important, I wouldn’t expect him to remember my wife’s name But he did. I turned to be greeted by The Most Famous Living Author In The World. As I examined some elephant dung at the Royal Academy’s Sensation exhibition this week, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Oddly enough, the truly famous can be unusually modest; they remember your name, for example. A few months ago, whilst filming on the streets of Hackney, I was approached by a young man who said how much he admired my programme.

I promise that the pride I felt was not personal, but on behalf of the hard-working creative team that produces the show. As he turned to go he threw in one last query: “Oh, by the way, is your dad still reading the news, then?” I haven’t yet figured out a way to tell Trevor Macdonald that he’s acquired a new relative.It may be that the young man was taught in Hackney’s schools, and never got round to the lesson where they teach the distinction between a forename and a surname; but even so, I think it’s a bit hard on poor old Trevor to suggest that he might already be reaching for the bus pass.Not that he’d mind, I suppose. Having been on the screens of the capital for more than a decade, on average once a week, I have learnt this the hard way. I am myself at best a nanocelebrity – my recognition factor being somewhat smaller than a weasel’s wedding tackle, as Blackadder would put it.

This was a speech heavy, at the beginning, with promises not to make promises.There are rumours of tensions among senior Tories about the inability to make specific commitments on tax and the issue still hangs, unresolved, in the air. Stamp duty, council tax, inheritance tax and the threshold for paying top-rate tax have been singled out for possible attention Appetites have been whetted and vague hints been dropped. If the intention is to save up further specific announcements until the publication of the election manifesto then Mr Letwin runs the risk of Gordon Brown doing to him what he did to Peter Lilley in the 1997 general election campaign. When Mr Lilley was presenting the Tories’ “pension plus” policy it was immediately trashed by Mr Brown as “Tories to privatise your pension”. It was a meaningless phrase but it somehow struck a chord with voters and Mr Lilley was bogged down in a complicated row that lost more votes.Mr Howard’s immediate task, however, was to staunch the potential flow of votes from the Tories to UKIP In this he has probably succeeded – for the time being. Credit for this achievement appears to be going to John Redwood who has secured the return of Mr Sykes to the Tory fold.

But Mr Howard may have to pay a high price for Mr Redwood’s renewed prominence at the heart of the Tory team. I suspect that the TV clip of Mr Redwood’s “I’m back” announcement at the start of his own conference debut will be replayed mercilessly by Labour in forthcoming party political broadcasts and posters.Mr Howard tried to emulate the 1997 Labour pledge card. This time it is “10 words to remember: school discipline, more police, cleaner hospitals, lower taxes, controlled immigration”. At least this is a message the average party worker and canvasser can remember although it reads a bit like a supermarket shopping list.In the end, however, will anything be changed by next week, next month or next May? Whether this speech has altered the voters’ perceptions of Mr Howard and the Tory party will only be known when we see the next set of polls. I still fear that the more likely course of events on “day one” will be a grisly telephone call to Tony Blair from above the Starbucks coffee shop in Victoria Street conceding defeat.

And the sad fact remains that one good speech, one autumn morning, does not alter any of the facts to which I have previously drawn attention about the hopeless state of the party in many of the constituencies that are without Tory MPs.mrbrown pimlico.freeserve.co.uk. Many years ago in a letter to Freud, Einstein asked: “Why war?” Freud responded in a 30-page letter which may be boiled down to two assertions. He posited that human beings are endowed by nature with hostile, violent feelings that, like water in a reservoir, start to build up over time. Although initially blocked by the restraints of civilisation, the hostility eventually breaks through, leading to a grand catharsis, namely war. For example, the timing of the two attacks in New York was such that following the first plane there would be plenty of cameras out when the second one arrived.So what does explain the psychology of the terrorist? Is it fundamentally a politically motivated act? A response to personal and communal trauma? A need for revenge? Is the terrorist more similar to us than we would like to acknowledge – they are merely differentiated by the weapons and methods at their disposal?The latest psychological approaches such as Theory of Mind can be harnessed to understand better the mind of the terrorist. An understanding of the mentality of this kind of violence shows that a war on terror cannot be won militarily, no matter how powerful the warheads deployed. It is actually a deep understanding of one’s most resolute enemies that is the most powerful weapon for producing a final cessation in hostilities..

Suddenly, while our backs were turned, rock music has become terribly grown-up and sensible. Bono appears on the platform at the Labour Party conference and matily refers to Brown and Blair as the Lennon and McCartney of politics. Midge Ure tours the starvation zones of Africa while Bob Geldof uses a Channel 4 documentary on his life to preach old-fashioned family values. In America, a group of high-profile strummers and singers are doing their bit for John Kerry and the Democrats by travelling the swing states on the Vote for Change tour. The first volume of his autobiography, which will be published next week, reveals Bob to be considerably less bonkers than the world had assumed. Not only is his memory fully intact but the prose in which he recalls his early life is crisp, precise and startlingly comprehensible.

Only two top-class saves by the Southampton goalkeeper, Antti Niemi, prevented a higher losing margin.Southampton gained a sixth-minute advantage when Rory Delap’s shot was parried by Maik Taylor only for Brett Ormerod to reach the rebound and score. I have been working 31 years without a break, my wife and I are grandparents now and I’m going to spend some time away from the game.”I do plan to come back into football, although I do not know in what capacity.” Strachan’s touchline performance was as animated as ever but his side could not produce the victory that might have diluted the suspicion that his impending departure could send their season into decline.They are without a win and have scored one goal in five games and although they began as if unfazed, taking an early lead, Birmingham equalised quickly and were thereafter the better side. Mart Poom, though, untroubled in the Sunderland goal since the interval, remained so to the end.Sunderland 1 Nottingham Forest 0 Arca 38Half-time: 1-0 Attendance: 26,340. Rupert Lowe, the Southampton chairman, admitted last night that manager Gordon Strachan may leave the club before the end of the season if his decision to take a break from football has a negative effect on results. If Sunderland’s shooting was less than accurate, though, Forest’s was lamentably absent. For all their neat approach play, they struggled to get past Phil Babb and Joachim Bjorklund at the heart of the Sunderland defence.With quarter of an hour left, Hart sent on Eoin Jess and Eugen Bopp.

They have gone 11 League matches without a win now and yesterday’s defeat was their fourth in a row in First Division action. However, it was Preston who quickly compiled a succession of attacks, David James deflecting a drive from David Healy with his feet, that gave no hint of their falling behind after 19 minutes.In only the Hammers’ second meaningful attack, Matthew Etherington played an inviting pass for Connolly to run on to and, in the goalmouth, he swept the ball underneath Gould’s dive. It was a miss that set the tone for the rest of the afternoon.A scrappy second half began with Stewart shooting wide of the target and continued with a series of wayward attempts on the Forest goal Stewart, Smith and Kyle were all culpable. The reshuffle had the desired effect, bringing a cutting edge to Sunderland’s play and, in the 38th minute, a goal. Marcus Stewart came within a whisker of turning in a low right-wing delivery from Jason McAteer, the diving Ward clawing the ball wide for a corner. Arca scored it, burying a left-footed shot from the left edge of the Forest penalty area after Ward had blocked a Stewart drive.It was the Argentinian’s fourth goal of the season and it ought to have been followed by the second of the day for Sunderland, Kyle ballooning the ball over the bar with Ward’s goal at his mercy in first-half injury time. Wright also headed wide, but Sunderland were running out of attacking steam by the half-hour mark.With Forest starting to dictate much of the play with their methodical passing, McCarthy sent on Kevin Kyle for Thomas Butler and switched Tommy Smith from a central striking role to the right wing.

The home fans celebrated but the referee, Martin Atkinson, consulted a linesman and then signalled for a goal-kick. It was a close call for Sunderland but it was Forest who were counting their blessings eight minutes later.From wide and deep on the right, Arca curled a left-footed free-kick around a packed penalty box and into the top left corner. The free-kick had been indirect and, though Stephen Wright claimed he had got his head to the ball, neither official detected a validating touch.McCarthy was left fuming on the touchline, but at least the perceived injustice stirred his team to life. They are 21st in the table now, four points above Derby and the relegation zone.”It’s disappointing,” Hart said afterwards “We can play good football We can pass the ball. But we need results.” Forest did beat West Bromwich in the FA Cup last week and they made a promising start yesterday. With five minutes on the clock, Gareth Williams rattled Mart Poom’s left-hand post with a rasping drive after Darren Ward’s up-field punt and Gareth Taylor’s knock-down.

Investment bank Goldman Sachs predicts that Reuters will make a loss of £15m for the half year, with falling underlying sales and the prospect of worsening market conditions.Analyst Anthony de Larrinaga at SG Securities explains the prospects: “Reuters has yet to hit the bottom. The company is servicing a market which is essentially cyclical, and going through a pretty significant setback at the moment,” he says.Its main customers are the financial markets, and to a lesser extent the media. Although the overall economy is steady, these sectors are currently in a severe recession, with many companies cutting costs and staff. “Fewer eyeballs means fewer [Reuters] screens,” says Mr de Larrinaga.But there are concerns that Reuters is not just suffering from a cyclical downturn but has more fundamental problems.For a start, arch-rival Bloomberg has been doing rather well. Its share of the market for financial institutions, the highest-paying customers, has increased steadily from 20 per cent in 1997 to 38 per cent last year, according to Risk Waters, an independent research firm.

Reuters, on the other hand, has edged up from 35 per cent to 39 per cent, although it has bought more through the acquisition of part of Bridge, its former competitor which was in bankruptcy proceedings last year.”Competition is vicious,” says John McConville, editor of “Inside Market Data Reference”, a quarterly research publication from Risk Waters. “Bloomberg is now offering extended free trial periods, which, if you think of it, is a form of discounting. Mr Glocer says that is creating pricing pressure by narrowing the gap between Bloomberg’s prices and those charged on Reuters’ 3000 Xtra [its premium screen product].”There is fierce competition in all information markets, whether it is from operators like Thomson Financial’s Topic screens or the masses of cheap or freely accessible financial and news websites.Some industry watchers cannot see how Reuters can fight this competition effectively. “What is Reuters’ real strategy?” asks Johnathan Barrett, media analyst at stockbroker Teather & Greenwood “There doesn’t appear to be one. There is nothing original about Reuters any more, and its usability is not that great.”There isn’t an obvious strategy to improve the quality of the business.

It has found itself in a very competitive environment.”In the face of these challenges, Mr Glocer has tried to cut costs and become more efficient Pity the poor staff. Not only have 2,250 jobs been cut, more than a tenth of the workforce, but the fall in the share price will affect their pay. “The majority of media at some point, whether newspapers or TV, rely heavily on Reuters. It hasn’t maximised this to its true potential,” adds the ex-employee.Although customers often grumble about the difficulties they encounter when using Reuters screens, the news service it provides has a good reputation.The company prides itself on its independent editorial policy. Recently, Mr Glocer told its New York office to remove an American flag flying outside, even though the symbol is almost compulsory in the US since 11 September and he is an American national.Another problem for Reuters is an issue for many media companies: a blistering hangover from the champagne cele- brations of the technology boom. Reuters set up the “Greenhouse Fund,” a venture capital operation that invested in technology companies. It says it has nearly made its money back on the fund, which still has assets that could be sold.

As cameras rolled and ministers watched from the Mansion House steps, a mere 60 police cadets tried to replicate a normally packed Tube train, and firefighters struggled in huge, cumbersome protective suits (so cumbersome, indeed, that in a real incident they are likely to be limited to 20-minute spells of duty in them).And, last year, the Environment Agency staged a vast, national flood disaster exercise. A “table-top” rehearsal, with 1,000 people and 60 services and agencies involved, it was broadly regarded as a success but threw up many problems: communications, uncertainty about who should do what, what role the military might play, where to find pumps, and more But even with the best-laid plans, disasters are like that. They catch you out.AVIAN FLU PANDEMICScenario: In South-east Asia, a worker on a battery chicken farm catches normal influenza At work, he is then infected with bird flu. The two combine, and the bird flu virus – type A, strain H5N1 – mutates into a form that can be passed from person to person A global epidemic – a pandemic – begins. One exception was the simulated poison-gas attack on a London Tube train at Bank station in 2003.Cynics may have smelt a whiff of Government “disaster PR” here. In an emergency, we must not neglect the most needy in society. That’s a tremendously important lesson for us.”Many other emergency plans have been rehearsed, though usually in “table-top” exercises where communications and chains of command are tested, with no actual activity on the ground.

“It’s an enormous undertaking to evacuate a city, but one of the early lessons seems to be that you must consider the most disadvantaged when making evacuation plans In New Orleans, they were just left there. The group has about 2,200 members from central and local government, emergency services, industry, utilities and government agencies.”We’re waiting to see what we may learn from Katrina,” says Asquith, who is the emergency planning manager for Worcestershire. Supplies can be taken straight through the checkouts, and billed later.More than 1,000 satellite phones have just been issued to emergency services and local authorities as an ultimate fall-back if all other communications become overloaded in an emergency, or fail. As in earlier civil defence legislation (in 1920 and 1948), the Civil Contingencies Act also allows the Government to assume emergency powers, in extreme situations and “as a last resort”. These could include imposing travel and movement restrictions, requisition of property, banning specified assemblies, and use of the armed forces. (The powers cannot, however, be used against industrial action or strikes.)Hurricane Katrina gave Britain’s emergency planners a stark example of the likely recriminations if things go awry – and a stark example of what they may have to cope with if climate change brings the extreme weather that is predicted.As it is obviously impractical to rehearse the evacuation of an entire city, the official reports on the New Orleans event may influence UK plans, according to Dr John Asquith, the chairman of the Emergency Planning Society, the UK’s leading professional association in the field.

Its roles include “horizon scanning” for possible threats to the UK. In a major emergency, the Civil Contingencies Committee is convened in the Cabinet Office briefing rooms – known as Cobra – and will usually be chaired by the Prime Minister or the Home Secretary. From here, a Government liaison team will be despatched to “Gold Command” at the disaster scene (typically led by a senior police officer, this could include up to 20 representatives from emergency, health, local authority, transport, the utilities and other agencies). Below this are a Silver (tactical) Command and a Bronze (operational) Command, which deals with the disaster scene itself. For emergencies on a wider than local scale, Regional Civil Contingencies Committees will convene at government offices around the country.Protocols have been agreed: all TV and radio broadcasters will transmit public information in an emergency (such as evacuation arrangements), in partnership with the Government’s News Co-ordination Centre. If emergency food supplies are needed, many local authorities have arrangements with supermarket groups to open stores – instantly – on receipt of a code word and county identifier, via a 24-hour hotline.

Who out there thinks the Orange and Black would add more payroll after that?Not me.I think we’d be looking at Cain being shipped for offense or risk another futile year from the team’s offense.  And a lot of those salaries go up in 2010 (although some come off the books, too), which means offensive futility and impotence could be the order of the day for years to come.I really don’t like those scenarios.

His best chance, however, came after 78 minutes when Barnes gave him an opportunity with the angle in his favour for the first time. From a central position, he was still blocked by Schmeichel.United, throwing Denis Irwin forward as a right winger, might have got an equaliser. “If we could have gone in at the interval at 0-0, I might have been able to do something about,” Ferguson said. “But the one piece of luck that Liverpool had in the first half got them a goal.”That fortune manifested itself in Schmeichel being unsighted as Fowler took a free-kick 25 yards out after Lee Sharpe brought down John Barnes. The Liverpool striker floated a shot with his left foot and although the ball passed not more than two yards from the United goalkeeper’s right hand, he did not move.United could only improve after the interval and in some respects they did, although not by so much that Collymore did not have three more chances to go one on one against Schmeichel.His best effort came after 63 minutes when he used Steve Bruce like a fulcrum to lever himself round the United centre back and thump a shot against the bar. The first came after 15 minutes when he dived to his right to stop Collymore’s shot from 12 yards, but within the next 10 minutes he twice had to charge off his line.These opportunities were bookended by chances for Fowler, who headed wide from Rob Jones’s cross after 10 minutes and by Jones, who side-footed over the bar after Jason McAteer’s pass had arced over the United rearguard to the far post.With half-time approaching, United appeared to have got away with it.

When Manchester United play Liverpool, the one thing I expect from my players is that they fight, fight, fight We were lifeless. We barely laid a tackle on their players.”There are times when Liverpool look as though they could not score against a team of training cones. It was their profligacy that kept United in a match that should have been sewn up within 25 minutes. The fact they did not was down to Schmeichel and David May, who occasionally looked as though he was playing alone against the swarms of red shirts.In that opening period, Schmeichel made three outstanding saves from Collymore.

Their afternoon was summed up by their pounds 7m striker, Andy Cole, who lacked touch and support and was substituted after 52 minutes.”In the first half we were dreadful,” Ferguson said. “We improved in terms of our tempo after the interval, but we never got to grips in midfield It’s difficult to remember a worse performance. The margin between the two teams is seven points and United’s next two fixtures are hardly in their favour either: away to Leeds and at home to Newcastle.Indeed, it was difficult to remember a United performance that was so tepid. Alex Ferguson, the United manager, dropped his leading scorer, Paul Scholes, to bolster his midfield, but he might as well not have bothered, because the centre of the field and the left flank belonged resolutely with Liverpool.Until the visitors abandoned caution and charged forward in a forlorn attempt to get an equaliser, it was difficult to remember a shot.
