LONDON, May 10 (Reuters) Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey has opted for Shakespeare comedies and other likely hits in an attempt to reverse his critical fortunes at London's Old Vic theatre.
Critics have turned on Spacey for what they see as a poor record at the helm of the famous London venue, and one questioned whether he should resign after Robert Altman's production of Arthur Miller's ''Resurrection Blues'' was panned.
News that the Old Vic would remain empty for five months in 2006 further increased pressure on the 46-year-old American.
But he reiterated yesterday that he had no intention of backing down. Spacey has committed to 10 years in the job, which he started in September 2004.
''I'm in it for the long haul,'' he said at the announcement of the lineup for next season.
''In the Old Vic tradition of celebrating great acting, big plays and a sense of event we're proud of the line-up we've assembled for our third season and beyond,'' Spacey added.
Next season begins with Eugene O'Neill's ''A Moon for the Misbegotten'', in which Spacey himself will perform.
Early next year the Old Vic will stage two Shakespeare comedies, ''The Taming of the Shrew'' and ''Twelfth Night'', both performed by Propeller, an all-male company.
Then comes a production of ''The Entertainer'' to mark the 50th anniversary of John Osborne's play, with British actor Robert Lindsay as the struggling comedian Archie Rice.
In a bid to repeat the success of the hugely popular pantomime production ''Aladdin'', comedian Stephen Fry has agreed to write a new version of ''Cinderella'' for Christmas 2007.
While the Oscar-winning star of ''American Beauty'' has had a rough ride since joining the Old Vic, Spacey's supporters point out that twice as many people came to the theatre during his first year in charge than came during the two preceding years.

In case you couldn’t tell, I’ve finally converted the Knights website over to the new format. There’s still some work left to do on a few pages, but for those pages, I’ve included links to the old version of the pages, so you can go back and still retrieve the same info. Once I’ve got everything converted over, I’ll get rid of the old site completely (well, not completely, I always keep local backups on my computer of my websites).
Anyway, it’s kinda like building a new house. I’ve got the kitchen, bathroom, dining room and bedroom built, so we can move in…but I’m still getting the den, living room, and garage built. Apologies for the sawdust.
There’s a lot we can do with the new site that I couldn’t do with the old site (like better post management and searching, and an rss feed for people who like to do that sort of thing). It also makes it much easier for someone else to take over the site if, for any reason, I am unable to continue managing the website. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know at scott@knightscorps.org.
So, if you didn’t get a look at the site when it was in beta…take a look around, kick the tires a bit, breathe in that new website smell. I hope you like it.
Oh, and for everyone who uses the guestbook, there’s a few things to keep in mind.
1. You can now comment on any of the posts, so feel free to comment, have discussions, etc. whenever it relates to anything that I post to the site.
2. I’m hoping to get all of the shout-outs, personal updates, calls for info, etc. to be moved over to the Knights group over at Google Groups (it’s a lot easier to manage, find, and sort through posts). You can go check it out at http://groups.google.com/group/knightscorps.
3. If you’d like to, you can go back and View the Old Guestbook or Sign the Old Guestbook.
I don’t know for sure what the best way to do this type of forum/discussion arena, but I know that the old Guestbook style makes it very hard for me to work with. Going with something like Google Groups would allow you to find all the posts from a specific person, or about a specific topic, etc.
Anyway, your input is welcomed. Thanks in advance for your support.

New teacher Ms. Allegra Weinstein comes to Bosco with experience as a teacher and with people in general, bringing something unique and new to Bosco’s teaching staff and faculty.
A: I have worked at St. Joseph’s Hospital in the ER and at CHOC in the cardiology ward. I was a medical scribe at both hospitals. I did research at UC Irvine at the Pediatric Exercise and Genomics Research Center. I worked on a NIH funded project looking at the effect of exercise training on children with asthma. I am currently the JV Women’s Basketball head coach at Esperanza High School. I will be starting my 8th season this year. I was a science teacher for 2 years at Halstrom Academy in Anaheim Hills.
A: I have been teaching for 3 years.
A: I graduated and received by BI from Claremont Graduate University.
A: I came across Bosco by chance. I knew of Bosco’s reputation as both an elite academic and athletic school, and when there was a vacancy in the Math and Science Department, I knew I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity.
A: At UCI, most of my classes were in large lecture halls that held hundreds of students. While I certainly enjoyed my time there, in the classroom there were times I felt I was just another body, just a number in a large crowd. However, when I was to graduate school, my classes were much much smaller – I was on a first name basis with most of my professors! My cohort was maybe 20-30 students and I felt surprisingly at ease being in a more intimate setting. It truly made a difference in my educational experience.
This intimate, close-knit, family-like community was something that I truly appreciated. This is way I started my teaching career at Halstrom. It is a private high school which has embraced the philosophy of a 1-on-1 model. Teaching there gave me the opportunity to work with students from all walks of life, with varying learning styles and with varying disabilities. Because of the unique format at Halstrom, I developed equally unique relationships with my students.
A: My hobbies are basketball, hiking, going to museums, and spending time with friends and family.
A: I have one younger sister, Andrea.
A: I love all types of music except heavy metal. The one artist that I can always listen to, regardless of what mood I’m in, is John Mayer.
A: My favorite sport is basketball and my favorite teams are the Lakers, Duke, and now Bosco!
A: I’m enjoying my time at Bosco. The faculty, particularly those in my department, have been so kind and generous with their time and help. I’m not sure what I could do without them. Everyone has made me feel very welcome into the Bosco community. My students have been great. While I may have to be disciplinarian in some classes more than others (cough, PERIOD 6, cough, cough), the students overall are good-hearted and make me feel blessed to be a Bosco Brave.
A: One of the main differences between Bosco and Halstrom, where I previously taught, is the classroom setting – Halstrom has a 1-on-1 philosophy and Bosco is a more traditional setting. Bosco’s setting and schedule is what I am most familiar with, particularly as a student, and so it is nice to settle into a routine. However, one aspect that I truly love about each campus is their spirit, friendship, and connectivity.
A: In high school, I played basketball for all 4 years and participated in PTSA. I also volunteered at St. Jude Hospital.

Recorded in several forms including de Lacey, Lacey, Lacy, Lassy, and Leacy, this is an English surname but of Norman-French pre 10th century origin. Introduced into Britain after the Conquest of 1066, it is locational and derives from the village of "Lassy" in Calvados, France. The place name is from an ancient Gaulish personal name, "Lascius", of uncertain etymology, plus the locational suffix "-acum", denoting place of or settlement. Two members of the original "Lassy" family came to England with William the Conqueror in 1066.

If you ever needed proof that a mum’s touch can work miracles, here it is. A tiny premature baby was brought back to life after his mum begged to cuddle him when doctors pronounced him dead.
Jamie and his twin sister, Emily, were born two minutes apart at 26 weeks. Emily let out a big wail, but Jamie was silent.
Doctors told Ms Ogg and husband David their precious boy had just seconds to live. Ms Ogg asked to hold Jamie for his last moments, and told her husband to get into bed with them.
“I saw (Jamie) gasp but the doctor said it was no use. I took Jamie off the doctor, asked everyone to leave. He was cold and I just wanted him to be warm,” she says.
And then, a wonderful surprise: skin-to-skin in his mother’s arms, Jamie started moving and his breathing grew stronger. Hospital staff rushed back and were able to nurse him back to life.
That was five years ago. Now, the Queensland boy – who spent his first 80 days in a neonatal unit alongside Emily – is as healthy as any other kid his age. “He is absolutely fine… the biggest concern they had was cerebral palsy because of the lack of oxygen but there’s been nothing,” Ms Ogg says.
About 25,000 babies are born prematurely each year and Ogg family has set up a Facebook page called Jamie’s Gift to raise money for the Miracle Babies Foundation, which supports premmies and sick newborns.
Mr Ogg is training for an ironman triathlon in May to raise money for the foundation. To help their cause, visit their fundraising page or Facebook page.

I'm only shooting to pony up 25 books in 2008. Please don't think less of me.
Re: I'm only shooting to pony up 25 books in 2008. Please don't think less of me.
That was probably my favorite book that I read for my children's lit class last semester. It's awesome!
It was SO totally awesome. I hope I don't seem like a shmuck for having my first book be a "young adult" novel but I found it while Christmas shopping for my nephew and just HAD to read it. I also read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane just before the holidays. I'll need to go through the kid's section more often.

Q: As a coach of grade 8/9 girls, I see this call all the time from the officials - kicked ball just because it hits someone's foot, intentional or not.
Rule 4 Article 13.2 of the FIBA rule book says: A player shall not run with the ball, deliberately kick or block it with any part of the leg or strike it with the fist.
However, to accidentally come into contact with or touch the ball with any part of the leg is not a violation. I even showed this to a referee today and his response was that it was still a violation if it resulted in an advantage to the team 'kicking' the ball, even if it was unintentional. Seems pretty straightforward to me - It is NOT a kick ball unless it is done deliberately, regardless of any advantage gained. Can I please get a ruling on this?
A: You are correct, per Rule 4, Article 13.2, in order to be a foot ball, the action must be deliberate. The fact that an advantage may or may not be gained when the ball accidentally goes off a player's foot has no bearing when ruling a foot ball.

The black box from the Russian Tu-154 plane that crashed into the Black Sea on Christmas Day has revealed that faulty flaps were to blame, Russian media say.
A source close to the investigation told the private Interfax news agency that the flaps, panels on the wings that help lift an aircraft, did not open in sync.
The pro-Kremlin Life news website says this led the pilots to lose control as the plane was at a “critical angle”.
The ageing Tupolev Tu-154 plane came down off the Russian coast with the loss of all 92 passengers and crew.
On board were 64 members of the famed Alexandrov military music ensemble, as well as one of Russia’s best-known humanitarian figures, Yelizaveta Glinka.
The military jet was heading to Russia’s air force base in Syria where the choir was due to perform at a New Year’s concert.
The latest findings allegedly come from a cockpit conversation stored on the flight’s main data recorder, which was found underwater about a mile from the shore.
An earlier audio recording, played on Russian media, said to be of the final conversation between air traffic controllers and the plane’s crew, revealed no sign of difficulties.
However, Life, a new site which is close to the Russian security agencies, issued a transcript of the cockpit recording taken from the “black box”, indicating the two pilots were taken by surprise.
The plane crashed soon after take-off from an airport near the city of Sochi, where it had landed for refueling.
The aircraft disappeared from radar two minutes after taking off from Adler airport at 05:23AM local time on Christmas Day.
According to the authorities, so far 15 bodies and 223 body fragments have been recovered from Black Sea.
The Tupolev plane involved in the crash was an old model no longer flown by airlines in Russia but still used by the military. It was 33 years old.
Russian investigators have so far ruled out terrorism as a possibility, instead concentrating on human error, a technical fault or a combination of factors as being responsible.

Everyone knows that China is one of the hottest medical device markets in the world. However, intellectual property (IP) infringement is still a major concern and risk factor for Western device companies looking to enter or expand into the lucrative Chinese market. Although the Chinese government and companies have made an effort to improve IP protection in recent years, China is still one of the worst offenders in product piracy and IP violations.
Just these past few months, I have been working on a project in which a medical device company with several millions dollars in annual sales in China asked for me to look into a few Chinese devices that were suspiciously similar to a few of their products. Upon investigation, my team found that several employees of the client’s distributor company—including the president—were also working for the suspected copycat manufacturer, thus facilitating the copying. It is entirely possible that the Chinese distributor is not only pirating the product designs, but also is intentionally hindering our client’s sales and product re-registrations in China, because they are now direct competitors in the Chinese market. It is also strongly suspected that the copycat manufacturer has been copying products from several other Western medical device companies in addition to our client.
If your company has a Chinese patent on your key products, you may be able to stop copycat manufacturers from pirating your products via the Chinese court system. It is possible for foreign device companies to win in China’s courts, although the process will be slow and costly in terms of legal fees.
Do not sign up Chinese distributors without doing as much due diligence as you did when you got married. I mean this! You can never do enough due diligence in China, and multiple references are crucial in your screening process. Once you have chosen a Chinese distributor, work very closely with them—just kicking the tires three times a year is not enough. You need to be actively involved in distributor management.
Always camouflage key steps or materials used in your product when doing product registration. Do not trust anyone; every distributor in China has a brother-in-law that would like to make medical devices.
Make sure you keep the originals of all approval certificates and copies of all dossiers submitted, testing reports, etc. This is so that if you ultimately decide that you want to break off relations with your distributor and find a new one, you will not be at the mercy of your Chinese distributor who can refuse to cooperate and withhold your registration documents from you.
Make sure there is a buy back provision for all your registrations in your distribution agreement.
Try to come up with updated versions of your products every few years so that a copycat manufacturer cannot stay ahead of the technology in your specific medical area. If the importer continually sees new product offerings where they can continue to make money by distributing your products in China, they will have less incentive to copy.
Employing some or all the above tactics will help you prevent IP complications and succeed in China’s complicated medical device market.

"Whose Knees are These?" | Best-Selling African American Books!
Takes a loving look at knees from the vantage point of a mother's lap. PreS–In these books, playful rhymes answer the title question. Knees like these/don't grow on trees. Ten little lovelies/all in a row./ Whose toes are those?/ Do you know? On each spread, viewers get a glimpse of the youngster in question. On the final spread, the book takes a vertical twist to show the whole, laughing child. The stories are sweet and simple, and children will enjoy bending knees or wiggling toes along with the protagonists. The illustrations were sketched in graphite and painted digitally; they are warm and lively with swirls of color and friendly animals looking on. The text refers to knees so brown and so strong and toes so brown and sweet.
