One week it is [Louis] Saha coming and Defoe going to Manchester United and then it is Ciss?oing and Defoe coming here They are always talking about players at other clubs Why? Because we know they are desperate to sell Defoe I know.”But they should only talk about their own players. They are desperate to do something [about Defoe] but I am happy with my squad at the moment.”That provoked an immediate denial from Levy, who insisted Benitez’s unusual decision to reveal the inner politics of a rival Premiership club was merely an attempt to unsettle Defoe. “I find the reported comments by Rafael Benitez beyond belief,” Levy said. “Not only are they completely untrue, but it is unprecedented that any manager should comment in this way on another team’s player.”It could, in fact, be interpreted as a direct and blatant attempt to unsettle Jermain. We have not had a single conversation on this point with Liverpool or any other club so I fail to see how he can make this statement.”Levy added: “We have absolutely no intention of making an offer for Ciss?I should expect that Mr Benitez on reflection, withdraws his wholly inappropriate, unprofessional and inaccurate comments.
They do him no credit.”Tottenham’s argument has credibility in that Benitez would consider a move for the 23-year-old, who has seen his World Cup prospects deteriorate this season having fallen behind the Egyptian striker Mido and the Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane in the Spurs attack, though only if he was available at a similar price to the £7m paid to West Ham for his services in February 2004.Benitez, however, views Stoijic’s intervention as an attempt to weaken Liverpool’s position in any future negotiations and, despite claims to the contrary, does hope to recoup some of the club’s outlay on Ciss?his summer.However, the striker, who was signed from Auxerre in 2004, said last night: “Part of my motivation is to prove to the manager that I should still be here. I am someone who likes a challenge, needs a challenge.”Every time the transfer window has been open I have read ‘Ciss?ill leave, Ciss?ill leave’,” he added, “but I am still here. I have three more years on my contract and at the moment I am still here.”. David Moyes was consumed by the unpredictable spirit of the Merseyside derby yesterday, the Everton manager calling for cool heads at Liverpool while ruminating on a recall for Duncan Ferguson now that his combustible compatriot has completed the seven-match suspension he collected for punching not one but two Wigan players at the JJB Stadium in January. Both Moyes and his Liverpool counterpart, Rafael Benitez, however, have reason to hope the 203rd contest goes true to current form at Anfield this afternoon. This afternoon’s meeting between the Merseyside rivals has been billed as a contest to decide which former Southampton striker should be included in Sven Goran Eriksson’s World Cup squad this summer, Peter Crouch or the resurgent James Beattie, when, in the England manager’s mind, that debate appears already decided. More accurately, this is a meeting between two of the Premiership’s most confident teams and it illustrates Everton’s dramatic transformation this year that, unlike the competition to become England’s “interesting option”, the outcome is much harder to predict.
Home advantage and history supports the claim of Liverpool, who have not lost a local derby on home soil since 1999 and appear to have solved this season’s one persistent problem with 15 goals in their last three games, albeit against the woeful defences of Fulham, Newcastle and Birmingham.
“Both teams are playing with confidence and perhaps it might be our supporters that makes the difference,” Benitez said. Yet their rivals have collected more points than any other Premiership team in 2006 and make the short trip across Stanley Park with genuine designs on qualifying for the Uefa Cup. “I would have had to have laughed if someone had told me that after we last played Liverpool,” Moyes said.On 28 December Liverpool strolled to a 3-1 victory at Goodison Park that heightened Everton fears of relegation and exposed the lack of discipline that has often handicapped Moyes’ teams on this occasion. Phil Neville and Mikel Arteta were dismissed during that reverse, bringing the red card total in this fixture to five in five games, with only one shown to a Liverpool player.

There is a real fusion of different kinds of people and food.I once spent a week shopping for guitars in Granada. I enjoyed living in London but when I wasn’t working I found it hard to relax That was one of the reasons that I moved back to Australia. The level of musical appreciation there that is hard to find anywhere else. I’m also a fan of traditional Japanese music and the big, summer events are incredible; you have these guys playing drums the size of double-decker buses.
I don’t really have a favourite part of Australia but Sydney is a spectacular city and I love the isolation and the beauty of Perth. The country is just getting on its feet, especially in terms of the arts, and I’d love to play there now.
I started playing the guitar when I was seven and touring when I was 14. Three of my first tours outside Australia were to Japan, which I go back to whenever I can. We went from Kazakhstan to Russia then into Italy where, after five months, we were finally allowed to go to Australia I’ve never been back. I was just four years old when I left Kazakhstan for Australia, so I only remember some vague events. I don’t recall being sad, rather that it was quite fun to be getting on all these trains and leaving for an unknown destination.

An eight-day tailor-made holiday in the Luangwa Valley starts from pounds 1,675 per person, including flights, full-board accommodation in lodges and bush camps, and guided safari drives and walks. Like priceless flying jewels, they swoop, dart, wheel around us… we have walked into the promised rainbow.ZAMBIAGETTING THEREJill Crawshaw travelled with Wildlife Worldwide (tel: 0181-667 9158). Every autumn thousands of them return to nest in the same spot in the Luangwa Valley, where the river-banks are pitted with thousands of burrows. And then, as we approach, there’s a sudden brilliant explosion of carmine pink, metallic blue and emerald green.We have found a colony of the world’s most beautiful bird, the carmine bee-eater.
The trees along the river-bank, gaunt and skeletal elsewhere, seem to have burst into flower with exotic candy-striped blossoms. We hope that the human footprints we come across are not those of a poacher. “More likely a lad in search of the local Viagra, the bark of the balanite bush,” reckons Abraham.But lion, elephant, buffalo and leopard fade into dusty perspective as, late in the afternoon, we come upon one of the most wonderful sights in Africa. Elongated toeprints indicate leopard, though he’ll be holed up during the heat of the day; stubbier tracks reveal the presence of lions, but if they get restless we’ll get plenty of warning – from the hysterical chatter of the vervet monkeys in the trees, the bark of the baboons or the strange whistling from a puku herd.Of far greater concern are the solitary prints of a buffalo, a Kakuli, the local name for an old buffalo that has left the herd probably to die and one of the most dangerous species on the plains. The scattering of apple-ring pods from the winter thorn are clues enough that an elephant has passed through, not long ago according to dung which Abraham crumbles. Those chalky droppings belong to a hyena which probably has the world’s most efficient digestive system; it can crunch and absorb every morsel of bone, hair and offal. An apparently empty dried-up river- bed becomes an instant map and visitors’ book.
Its range of habitats, from open savannah, riverine woodlands and ox-bow lagoons are a Garden of Eden for huge herds of elephant and buffalo, lion, antelope, giraffe, even the elusive leopard.Under Abraham’s guidance, we gradually begin to fit the pieces of the wildlife jigsaw together, and understand just a little bit more of the rhythm and pulse of life in the bush. But Abraham is not a gung-ho leader, and safari-virgins anxious only to notch up the Big Five and get back to their sundowners might feel frustrated. “Some holidaymakers have seen too many wildlife documentaries,” he explains. “They expect a chase, a wham-bang kill, and they want it all on their videos.
Between points, she has the proud posture and slow strut of a Bluebell Girl. Now she is free to be as tough on herself, the new French self, as she wants. Given her background, the phrase “adopted country” must have special meaning for Pierce.Her almost ceremonious sense of style helps her fit in. Since her appearance in last year’s French Open final she has begun speaking French at home.It is part of the making-over of Mary Pierce, just like the nimbler footwork and new thoughtfulness on court. Her father, Jim Pierce, was notoriously hard on his American daughter and so spectacularly obstreperous in general that he is now banned from the women’s tour.
What began as a tactical option for the Pierces has become Mary’s personal choice.She hopes to increase the two or three months a year she spends here and is looking for a two-bedroomed flat within easy reach of Roland Garros. Who worried about Picasso’s accent and passport when he was admitted into the modern French Pantheon?And after all, Pierce’s mother, Yannick, is of Parisian stock – her family lived in the southern suburbs – and the player herself – she was born in Montreal and brought up in the States – has now committed to her third nationality. She’s got to be French.”The French can be culturally unforgiving but they have always been alert to chances of imported glory. They’ve been annexing artistes for years and granting them the honorary citizenship accorded to high talent. “Is she Mary Pierce or Marie Peeairse?” He then concluded: “She is elegant She is bright. If you cannot talk back on a TV talk show you are a non-starter, but her advisers have clearly decided to meet the issue head-on. On a Canal Plus programme last week Pierce made her entry in a big American convertible and then implored Antoine de Caunes, “Just remember to slow your questions down a bit for me”.”Is this young lady French or not?” De Caunes queried.
Sports stars are not noted for verbal fluency but a foreign accent still stands out.
A year ago, Pierce’s French was as shaky as her on-court tactical sense. They have both shown marked progress but there is still room for improvement. Homecomings are subtle affairs if you hold three passports – American, Canadian and French – and your mastery of the language of Moliere remains incomplete. Mary Pierce’s first Grand Slam victory at last month’s Australian Open has propelled her to No 3 in the world rankings and made her the draw card, along with Steffi Graf, at this week’s Paris Open At 20, she has arrived Whether she has come home is not so clear. They then needed just five ends to wrap up victory with a 7-1 win in the next.Also through to the quarter-finals are Scotland’s Graham Robertson and Mark McMahon.
They won the last two sets to beat off a strong challenge from Greg Harlow and Mervyn King, of England. Harlow and King recovered from 5-1 down to take the opening set 7-6, lost the second 7-5 but moved ahead again with a 7-3 win in the next.The Scots found themselves in what appeared to be a hopeless position when they trailed 2-5 in the fourth set, but a double followed by a three saw them take the set 7-5 and they went on to clinch victory with a 7- 4 win in the decider.. After all, it’s a world title we are playing for.”The Scots recovered from 5-2 down in the opening set and, despite losing the second, pushed themselves back into the driving seat with a 7-5 win in the third. The final match, between Scotland’s David Miller and Hugh Duff and Australia’s Steve Glasson and Ian Taylor, eventually finished at 2.45 yesterday morning, with the Scots winning 7-6, 1-7, 7-5, 7-1.Duff, the former world indoor singles champion, was critical of the organisation.
Goran Persson, the Swedish Prime Minister, said: “Europe has moved to the left.”He said it was up to the EU and US to maintain economic growth to help prevent recession. “They are the two forces in the world which can actually resist recession. When Lionel Jospin, the French Prime Minister, put forward these ideas earlier this month, Britain said they were unnecessary.
But after the British U-turn Mr Blair said he would only agree to the proposed growth plan if it increased EU competitiveness and did not risk a return to high inflation.Britain’s scepticism was swept aside as Germany, France, Italy, Sweden and Portugal threw their weight behind moves to breathe new life into Europe’s economy. Though no university officially makes allowance for an applicant’s background, some Oxbridge colleges say they bear it in mind when deciding whether to admit students.The Cardiff study’s main purpose was to examine the difference in academic achievement at degree level between the sexes. It found women performed better on average but were less likely to get a First than men. Mature students and those with no formal qualifications, as well as those at comprehensive schools, tended to get better degrees..
Earlier research carried out at Oxford University in the Eighties suggested state school pupils admitted to the university were more likely to get good degrees than their independent school counterparts.At present, Oxford and Cambridge are campaigning hard to attract more comprehensive school pupils. Only about half the undergraduates at the two universities come from state schools. Cambridge has said that it would like to increase the figure to 65 per cent, the proportion of those who get three grade As at A-level who attend state schools. When all these factors were taken into account, it found that comprehensive pupils outperformed independent school pupils. The type of school a pupil had attended was one of the strongest factors determining whether he or she achieved a first.

There is good team spirit in the squad and we all wish him well.”Nevertheless, the timing of Manu’s defection has caused bitterness, largely because before Christmas he had indicated his ongoing commitment to Calais. Orient made an approach two months ago, but nothing seemed to come of it and it was only one of several enquiries made about several players by bigger clubs such as Strasbourg, Cannes and even Norwich.”Ten days before Christmas Manu was in my dad’s office signing a new contract,” says Nico Thiriot, son of the general manager, Claude. “My dad look him eyes to eyes, ask him if everything was all right. He promised he was going to stay with the club till the end of the season, like Cedric Schille and Mickey Gerard.”These are highly demanded players, but they gave their word that they were going to stay – their promise. It’s a bit unfair when you know that you can steal a player from anamateur club just by putting a big carrot under his nose, and to act this way when you are less than two weeks away from a cup tie against the top club in France, it’s like everyone feels stitched up – team-mates, club, Calaisiens, all the French fans who are rooting for Calais, and the five million people who are going to be watching the game on television and expecting another miracle.
Nothing illegal has been done, but Manu has broken a moral contract.”Can Calais do it again despite all the traumas? Though it is nominally a home tie for them, the game against Sedan will not be taking place on their own turf, the 80-year-old Stade Julien Denis, which only needs a crowd of 5,000 to burst its seams.An ideal substitute would have been the stadium at Lens, which they used for their triumphant semi-final last year, but Lens have a home game, so they are hitting the road for Amiens.In the bars and cafés last week, there was fighting talk from the locals “We need to show some heart and balls,” said one. “We don’t want to show we’re sunk at the bottom of the harbour. We are not Maradonas technically, but we are so passionate about what we are doing and we hope that will carry us through.”In fact, with 250 coachloads of locals heading down the motorway to Amiens on Saturday, it’s safe to say the whole of Calais will be there – except for Manu, of course.. It ended with a public handshake and a double kiss on the cheeks from the club president, Sergio Cragnotti, who called Sven Goran Eriksson “a true son of Lazio who will always be welcome here”.

Not surprisingly, the experience has driven him close to the edge of a breakdown, but miraculously he has come through the ordeal perhaps even stronger than before and determined to tell his story, which will be only in the Daily Tabloid. That is the end of our prepared statement.”
Yes, but could you give us some idea, just off the record, of what this suffering was like?”He has been kept in close confinement over the last year under most unpleasant circumstances, sometimes alone with Mr Netanyahu and Mr Arafat, sometimes alone with Mr Adams and Mr Trimble, sometimes alone with Mr Kohl and Mr Santer, sometimes alone with Mr Bill Clinton. “Mr Blair and his junior colleague Mr Hague have undergone a great deal of suffering and distress in the past few months,” said the Daily Tabloid in a prepared statement, “so we do not think it is in their best interests to face the public just yet. Also, he is contracted to us exclusively for a large sum of money to talk to us and us only, and we propose to keep him to that. They are of no use to this kind of journalism whatsoever, for they might reveal the truth; and that.
for all the pompous and self- congratulatory rhetoric on display, is not what is really being bought and sold here.. I HAD very much hoped to have an article by Tony Blair in this space this morning, but unfortunately he has been whisked away by the newspaper to which he is contracted to a safe place in Northern Ireland, where he cannot be contacted. Whatever we believe about these women we are operating entirely instinct, guess work and prejudice of one kind or another.It is tempting to see the necessity of creating this new brand of victim- heroines who flaunt their suffering as the result of a post-traumatic stress disorder produced by the death of Diana The media abhors a vacuum and must fill it somehow, anyhow. Murderous au-pairs and nurses will do, as long as we get to feel their pain too.We are not interested in the real victims of all this, for the dead cannot tell their stories. Clearly in future any body breaking the law in a foreign country should be flown home immediately – especially if they are young, female and even a little photogenic – as they could not possibly get a fair trial elsewhere.None of this really qualifies as news but operates as the turning of tragedies into real life whodunnits. Or have we all become such cultural relativists that abuses of human rights are not our business if they interfere with our capacity to do business?Such questions unfortunately will be ignored in an attempt to parade Parry and McLauchlan through the press as victims who have suffered horrendous injustices. They have to tread a fine line between insisting that the Saudi’s are nice guys to do business with and recognising their tendency to behead the odd Filipino.
If we accept that this is a country in which innocent nurses are tortured into making confessions, in which British citizens can be executed in a medieval style, in which lives can be bought and sold – then why are we selling them so many arms?It is extremely difficult to see what is remotely ethical in all this. Who says victimhood isn’t powerful?However many of us feel uneasy, just as we did with Louise Woodward, when British women abroad are presumed innocent no matter what courts in far away lands might say.It is easy enough to whip up anti-Islamic feeling, just as it was easy to deride a legal system that freed OJ Simpson. The same people who decried the payment of pounds 15,000 to Mary Bell will be happy to see these two women make large amounts of money. Had the death sentence been carried out on Parry, business as usual would have been difficult to maintain. This is why British Aerospace which has huge contracts in the region came up with the blood money for Frank Gilford.Is all this part of the “ethical foreign policy” that Robin Cook proudly proclaims? The huge arms deals to Saudi Arabia mean that Blair and Cook have in some ways to keep the Saudi’s sweet so that they remain an important alley in a volatile area. The murdered woman herself was said at one point to have been a lone-shark.All these financial dealings appear incredibly sordid.

On the way out you pick up a paper and you’re already scanning through the next day’s runners There are always more winners to find.. John Gosden nominated Waldenburg as his hope for next year’s 2000 Guineas after the debutant had caused an upset by short-heading Dubai Destination in the Scottish Life Maiden Stakes at Newbury yesterday. John Gosden nominated Waldenburg as his hope for next year’s 2000 Guineas after the debutant had caused an upset by short-heading Dubai Destination in the Scottish Life Maiden Stakes at Newbury yesterday.
The runner-up was the subject of much pre-race hype and went off the 1-2 favourite to maintain David Loder’s purple patch. There was no fluke however about 10-1 shot Waldenburg’s win as he appeared to simply outpoint the favourite, also owned by Sheikh Mohammed, in a driving finish under Jimmy Fortune.Godsen made no secret of that fact that he holds Waldenburg in the highest regard, saying: “He’s a very special horse and if I have a proper horse for next year this is him, as he works better than anything at home He’s my Guineas horse. I’ve always had a high opinion of him and he’ll want a mile in time.”He was going to be my Coventry Stakes horse for Royal Ascot,” Gosden added, “but it’s all come about 10 days too soon for him.”Loder was philosophical following the narrow defeat of Dubai Destination and said: “He needs to grow up but he’s going to be a nice horse. Unfortunately he went to the start hollering for his mother and came back looking for her.”He really needs seven furlongs but we thought we might get away with the six furlongs here.
However, as usual, these things don’t quite work out.”Frankie Dettori, who just missed out on board Dubai Destination, had earlier enjoyed better fortune in a photo-finish when Ben Hanbury’s Lake Verdi rallied back past newcomer Six Hitter in the Newbury Conditions Stakes.Hanbury later doubled up when Nafisah answered all of Richard Hills’ urgings to fend off the dangerous-looking challenge of Duchcov by a length and three-quarters in the Listed Ballymacoll Stud Stakes.The winning filly could make a quick reappearance at Royal Ascot next week according to Hanbury, who said: “She may run in the Ribblesdale Stakes. We’ll just have to wait and see, but she should get a mile and a half easily enough.”The Peter Harris-trained Volontiers came from last to first in impressive style to clinch the Newbury Rated Showcase Handicap.Jamie Spencer bided his time aboard the six-year-old before pouncing a furlong out and thrashing Red N’Socks by five lengths.. John Whitaker brought a disappointing run of British failures to an emotional end yesterday when he employed his own special brand of brilliance to win the Preis des Handwerks with Virtual Village Hunter’s Level. John Whitaker brought a disappointing run of British failures to an emotional end yesterday when he employed his own special brand of brilliance to win the Preis des Handwerks with Virtual Village Hunter’s Level. Victory here is always special, but for the hundreds of people who sent the Yorkshireman get-well cards after his cerebral haemorrhage last December it was also a welcome confirmation that the old flair is still intact.
Whitaker has won a few international classes since last year’s crisis, but they were low-key compared with this success in the huge arena which annually draws the best riders in the world. Rarely can any competitor have achieved so many warm congratulations from his fellow riders after a winning round.It has to be admitted that the accumulator competition that Whitaker won was not the greatest event on the programme here, but nobody could have produced a more compelling round.
The Yorkshireman sent Hunter’s Level off like a dart through the start and maintained a smooth and relentless pace through the finish to overtake a swift round from Switzerland’s Willi Melliger on Scutt by 1.84sec.British morale, at a low ebb after mostly mediocre performances on the first two days of the show, was given a further lift by Tim Stockdale finishing third on Traxdata Glenwood Springs, with Michael Whitaker in sixth place on First Samuel. There were smiles all round notably from the British chef d’equipe Michael Bullman and his predecessor, Ronnie Massarella, who was in the stands shouting for a Whitaker victory.The serious business, however, gets under way with today’s Nations Cup in which Michael Whitaker will go first for the British team (and first in the entire contest) on Prince of Wales. He will be followed by Mark Armstrong on Elise and Tim Stockdale on Traxdata Wiston Bridget, with John Whitaker in his usual crucial role as last man of the team with Calvaro.The elder Whitaker brother is not allowing negative thoughts of Calvaro’s 30 faults in the Nations Cup in Modena this month to cloud his mind.”He’s proved he can make a mess of things and then come out and go well as he did in the Olympics,” John Whitaker said of the stallion, who had only one mistake in his two rounds in Sydney. “You’ve got to be an optimist and you have to keep battling on.”Before the draw took place giving Britain the seemingly onerous task of going first Massarella had insisted that the order was irrelevant. “You can win from anywhere, it doesn’t matter whether you go first or last,” he said.
But it remains to be seen whether the British or any of the other nations can defeat the all-conquering Germans, who are second to go in the draw. They have a powerful quartet with Markus Ehning on For Pleasure being followed by Franke Sloothaak on Joli Coeur, Otto Becker on Cento and Ludger Beerbaum on Gladdys.NATIONS CUP SHOW (Aachen, Germany): Preis des Handwerks: 1 Virtual Village Hunter’s Level (J Whitaker, GB) 65pts, 53.35sec; 2 Scutt (W Melliger, Swit) 65pts, 55.19; 3 Traxdata Glenwood Springs (T Stockdale, GB) 65pts, 56.05. La Silla Masters: 1 Fighting Alpha (L Nieberg, Ger) clear, 44.30sec; 2 Leena (M Beerbaum, Ger) clear, 47.24; 3 Grande Dame (J Tops, Neth) clear, 51.41..

But it wasn’t to be.”Albion struck first in the 18th minute from their only shot of the first half. A hopeful cross from the right by the First Division’s leading scorer, Lee Hughes, found a gap in the centre of Wolves’ defence and Micky Evans controlled the ball before tucking it home from eight yards.Carl Robinson equalised in the 37th minute when he appeared unseen at the far post to score with a left-footed shot from a curling free-kick by Paul Simpson.Wolves missed a chance to move three points clear of seventh-placed Watford, as well as go above Bolton, when their captain, Keith Curle, blazed a 55th-minute penalty over the bar after Kevin Kilbane was adjudged to have held back Kevin Muscat on a run into the area.

HAVING ARRIVED in Suffolk on Saturday lunchtime occupying last place in the Nationwide League First Division, Crewe Alexandra could have been excused if they had adopted negative, spoiling tactics against the favourites to claim the one remaining promotion place
That is not their way, though. Adapting better than their hosts to a pitch partially waterlogged by a ferocious pre-match thunderstorm, Crewe produced an accomplished display of attacking football to rekindle their hopes of survival and inflict what might be terminal damage on Ipswich Town’s quest for automatic advancement to the Premiership.
If Crewe beat Bristol City, who replaced the Railwaymen at the bottom of the table on Saturday evening, at Gresty Road tomorrow, they will climb out of the bottom three.
Indeed, if they can reproduce the form they showed at Portman Road in their remaining three fixtures, this admirable little club’s stay in the First Division will surely be extended for at least another year.What allowed them to play with such verve and adventure on Saturday? The answer may lie in the attitude of their long-serving manager, Dario Gradi, to the threat of the drop. Referring to the financial profligacy which has brought rival clubs like Crystal Palace, Portsmouth and Oxford United to the brink of closure, he said staying up was “not important enough for us to be stupid. We’re not going to fall apart if we go down.”Crewe, therefore, played as if without fear. Gradi had carefully watched Ipswich’s laboured win over Stockport last Tuesday, and he knew that the Suffolk side’s big central defenders, Tony Mowbray and Manuel Thetis, would be vulnerable to his team’s small, speedy forward players.
He used the tireless Rodney Jack as a lone striker, with Mark Rivers and the much- coveted Seth Johnson attacking from the flanks and simultaneously blunting the threat of Town’s wing-backs.Crewe had the better of the first half and it was no surprise when Rivers put them ahead with a fierce left-foot finish that capped a fine run midway through the second period. A dubious penalty award allowed Mark Venus to equalise for Ipswich, but Steve MacAuley met a corner with a decisive near-post shot to score the winner seven minutes from full-time.MacAuley was unmarked when he scored which, since Ipswich had an extra man following the 76th-minute dismissal of Jermaine Wright, was negligent in the extreme. George Burley, Town’s manager, criticised his players for giving Crewe too much space, and he now has to lift his squad for next Sunday’s tricky trip to Birmingham City.If Bradford City, who regained second place from the Suffolk side on Saturday, beat Oxford United at Valley Parade on Saturday and Ipswich lose at St Andrew’s the following day, the Yorkshire team will be promoted behind Sunderland and Burley’s men will have to settle for the play-offs for the third successive season, barring a highly improbable pair of results on the final day of term.Ipswich looked a long way short of Premiership quality on Saturday. Kieron Dyer, who has perhaps returned too quickly from a broken leg, was a peripheral figure in midfield, while his fellow England Under-21 international Jamie Scowcroft did not provide enough movement up front. His more mobile fellow striker, David Johnson, had a day when nothing went right for him. The prevalent post-match mood among the Portman Road faithful was pessimism, and it may not be misplaced.Goals: Rivers (64) 0-1; Venus (pen 70) 1-1; MacAuley (83) 1-2.Ipswich Town (3-5-2): R Wright; Thetis (Wilnis, 67), Mowbray, Venus; Stockwell (Naylor, 84), Dyer, Magilton, Holland, Clapham; D Johnson, Mowbray.

“You need to prove you can speak academic language and hang with the academics,” he says HS. “If you do, you do a lot of publishing and grant applications and that puts you in a pigeonhole. Journal publication is respected in Academe but in other jobs don’t carry as much weight so you are spending all this time writing and publishing but not getting experience with managing budgets and practical stuff.”He says he can see the advantage of learning general work skills early on in a PhD course but for him, a PhD is more about overcoming a career hurdle. “At most British universities you just have to write a book,” he says. “I wish I had done a programme that forced me to do coursework. Then I would have had a greater background in the academic discipline I was trained in.”It is this weakness in his PhD training that he regrets more than any lack of generic practical skills.
He wasn’t offered any of the few jobs outside Academe that he applied for, but is not convinced that he ever really wanted them.”It reaches a point in the course of the PhD when you need to decide whether or not you want an academic career,” he says. “They assume I know a lot about Ancient Greek philosophers,” he says. While he knows a bit about them, most of his knowledge is narrowly focused on the subject of his doctorate.One of the reasons he chose to study in the UK rather than his native United States was to avoid the broader and longer postgraduate PhD programmes offered by American universities and get his study over more quickly He now feels that this has limited his knowledge. Mainly, he wishes that he had decided earlier on what he wanted to do once he had got his PhD.Delamont says that the ESRC has recognised this problem and is considering how to move from a “one size fits all” model of skills training for PhD students across the social sciences, to one more tailored to individual disciplines.Dr Janet Metcalfe, director of the UK GRAD Programme, says that the problem for most graduates with PhDs is that they don’t realise what skills they have: “There’s a long way to go before there is a recognition by both PhD students and employers of what they have to offer.”‘People have certain expectations of you’When Dr Michael Barr, research fellow in bioethics at the London School of Economics (right), tells people he has a PhD in philosophy he finds they have certain expectations. Francis Dodsworth, who completed a PhD at Manchester University in 2002, and is now a research fellow at the Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change, says that there are one or two skills that he wished he had learnt but that they are very specific. PhDs are, by definition, about individual study and original work, which makes it difficult to generalise about problems or to find general solutions. They just don’t want to spend their lives using them.”This highlights one of the difficulties surrounding skills training – it relies on students to take up what is on offer and use it effectively.
She argues that stress on empirical research in the social sciences for political reasons has deterred students who are “philosophically minded theorists”, and says that some argue that valuable scholarship has been lost as a result.As for fears raised in the report that students are not achieving the quantitative research skills they need, she suggests that this is likely to be because there are more interesting ways of doing research: “A lot of people are competent in quantitative methods. Sara Delamont, a sociologist at Cardiff University and co-author of Supervising the Doctorate, says that while she agrees that training in methods is important in the social sciences, there are dangers in emphasising it too much. Professor Elias also says that there is an increasing tendency for interdisciplinary research work – a trend that he expects to continue – which means that issues affecting a PhD student in one discipline cross over into others.Many academics now accept this emphasis on new skills. Professor Purcell says that she spoke to some PhD graduates who claimed that their supervisors had encouraged them not to do formal research-methods training beyond their immediate needs But she adds that this is unlikely to be the case any more.
She met Ted Olson at a legal conference in 1989, where he spoke on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act (Rico) She said, “He had a fabulous voice Rich, rumbling, sort of makes-your-ribs-vibrate voice. He really made sense out of the Rico statutes.”She was the author of two books about Hillary Clinton. The first, Hell to Pay: the unfolding story of Hillary Rodham Clinton (1999), was a blistering expos?Olson’s take on Mrs Clinton was unmerciful. She maintained that the Clintons’ marriage was a sham and was quoted, days before her own death, as saying that the Clintons were in effect separated. Her second, The Final Days: a behind the scenes look at the last desperate abuses of power by the Clinton White House, is an equally unfriendly account of the various scandals, including dubious pardons, of President Clinton’s last days in the White House, and is due to be published next month.In 1998, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Barbara Olson appeared on talk shows almost nightly She was described as “tough”, “smooth as silk” and a “pro”. She and her husband were known as one of the “power couples” in conservative Washington, their home in the suburb of Great Falls a centre for conservative partying and politicking.When, on Tuesday, hijackers took over American Airlines flight 77 from Washington to Los Angeles, on which she was a passenger, Olson coolly locked herself in the lavatory and speed-dialled her husband at his office a mile or so away and told him what had happened, speaking to him seconds before the plane plunged into the Pentagon. She was only on the fatal flight because she had delayed her trip to be with her husband on his birthday.Godfrey Hodgson.

Daniel Lewin was a co-founder of Akamai Technologies, a leading internet services company located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Lewin was the chief technology officer of Akamai, a company established in September 1998 to enable companies to reduce the complexity and cost of delivering web-site content. The company’s customers include many leading media companies such as Britannica, CNN, Paramount, Reuters and Yahoo!, as well as financial services operations and internet retailers. Under Lewin’s technical leadership the company grew meteorically, currently with over a thousand employees and delivering content through 11,600 servers on 800 networks in 62 countries.Lewin was born in Denver, Colorado, in 1970, but grew up in Jerusalem, and maintained dual citizenship.
Before going to university, he served in the Israel Defence Forces for more than four years, rising to the rank of captain. He was a brilliant and energetic student, studying at Technion, Israel’s top technological university, while at the same time employed full-time in IBM’s Haifa research laboratory. In 1995 Technion named him the year’s Outstanding Student in Computer Engineering. At IBM he was responsible for Genesys, a system for the verification of computer hardware, used by IBM and several other computer manufacturers.In 1996 he enrolled for a master’s degree at the Laboratory for Computer Science in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The topic of his master’s thesis was inspired by Tim Berners-Lee, the British-born inventor of the World Wide Web, who had recently joined MIT.
Berners-Lee recognised that congestion on the web – sometimes despairingly called the World Wide Wait – was a major technical problem for the internet, and set a challenge to his MIT colleagues to invent fundamentally new and better ways of delivering content.Another problem was coping with web “hot spots” when millions of surfers use the same web site at the same time – the internet equivalent of what happens when millions of television viewers switch on the electric kettle during a commercial break. Professor Tom Leighton, who had an office down the corridor from Berners-Lee and was head of the MIT Algorithms Group, was intrigued by the challenge, and set up a project to explore mathematically based solutions to the problem.Lewin was one of the graduate students who joined the group, which developed a number of breakthrough techniques for tackling the problem of net congestion. Some of these methods were described in Lewin’s dissertation, which won MIT’s award for the best master’s thesis presentation of 1998.In September 1998 Leighton and Lewin co-founded Akamai Technologies, obtaining an exclusive technology licence from MIT. Akamai was set up, with the slogan “delivering a better internet”, to enable corporate clients improve their web-site performance by off-loading big files on to Akamai’s networks, relieving the congestion on their own systems.
While the founders served as chief scientific and technology officers, they were able to convince major figures from the IT industry, including Paul Sagan, former head of Time Inc New Media, to serve as operating officers.Following venture financing, the firm began commercial operation in April 1999. Its charter customer was Yahoo!, perhaps the world’s most- trafficked web site. At its Initial Public Offering in October 1999, the firm was capitalised at $13bn, making its founders briefly paper billionaires, before the internet bubble burst.Lewin was recently named one of the 25 most influential Chief Technology Officers by InfoWorld, and ranked seventh in the Power 100 list of the Enterprise Systems Journal. Having risen to such prominence in the IT industry in just three years, Lewin’s was in every way a career cut short in its prime. He was studying for a PhD at MIT at the time of his death.In private life Lewin lived in Brookline, Massachusetts, and his pastimes were devoted to the pursuit of speed – motor cycling, fast cars, and skiing. He died on the American Airlines flight 11 that crashed into the World Trade Centre.Martin Campbell-Kelly.
