His music for the stage version of Roald Dahl's Matilda became the only time in a stand-up struggling leftfield Andrew Lloyd Webber. Next month, the production moved to Broadway. But how are you going to New York to take the anarchic Australian? But a reminder, Tim Minchin, 37, may have lost the opportunity of a lifetime. Back in 2008. The Australian was to perform a full house at London's Bloomsbury Theatre. Using eye makeup, red hair stood on tiptoe chaotic, funny and sang ballads for piano reflection that had been charming comedy fans across the country. Unknown to the interpreter, who was the study that evening. Matthew Warchus, the director who put on the adaptations of West End

"A great musician and a great composer," was the verdict set Warchus Minchin, with their anarchist songs, highlighted on topics as diverse as religious complacency and dancing bears, superstition and inflatable dolls sex. arcs occur only late Warchus not feel heard subtlety of emotions that would be needed to capture the essence of nodes and sentimental book Dahl children. Minchin is then returned to the stage for an encore, in which he sang a song called relatively simple white wine in the sun. We explored the strange attraction, elementary to have parents and siblings who had 10,000 miles in Oz. Warchus recalled: "The whole public wept. "

"Tell me what I need to do to convince you that I'm your man," said Mangin, when he made his approach Warchus shortly. Finally Minchin has written a couple dozen songs

Mathilde , working with an arranger, 16 completed the first production in the theater Patio Stratford in December 2010. "[It is] not edgy, avant-garde, "Minchin said later of his work on the production, with music supervisor Christopher Nightingale and playwright Dennis Kelly," but emotionally, hits the mark.

Performing songs he calls "epic stupidity of Wagner" and accompanied by an orchestra of 55 musicians, Mangin was doing a show for 20,000 at London's O2. Opening verse of the opening number of the night was typical: a rational if the truth a little hard made acceptable by the attractive piano.

Champions League place to visit for those under achieving side

Arsene Wenger has challenged his players to prove they deserve to be at Arsenal next season, saying their actions are determined by the choices you make in the summer and implying that is ready to be ruthless with those who do not meet their expectations.

Arsenal, who host the reading Saturday afternoon, four points behind fourth place and Tottenham are in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in 16 years. Although they have a Spurs game, Wenger's position at the club has never been examined and as if the players currently available are good enough to relieve the pressure on him remains to be seen.

"We have five players for the England team and 22 international players," said Wenger. "So we have to analyze what will determine our attitude, my attitude is how we do now until the end of the season, it is important that we consider how to end the season the way we play - .. And make decisions on who to buy and who to sell to the end of the season. This will be influenced by the way we played in our last nine games. "Message to Arsenal players is that their future is in their hands and examination Tottenham, as they did last season, Wenger defend the faith in them. Losing against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup and the City of Bradford in the Capital One Cup had threatened to derail the season Arsenal and could have collapsed after losing 2-1 at Tottenham on March 3 that left seven points behind rivals.

"They have gone through difficult times and responded well," said Wenger. "They showed mental strength that we lost against Blackburn, Tottenham and Bayern. Way, so perhaps fear that the group imploded. We showed a strong response against Bayern and Swansea, and it shows that the group is mentally strong.

"What is certain is that we had a few bumps this season, but do not expect to defeat Bradford and Blackburn. Generally, however, the attitude of the team was very good and when everyone Here we have a strong team. What is important is to look at where we can improve at the end of the season. "

The sale of Robin van Persie against Manchester United last summer has been identified as the source of problems for Arsenal, but Wenger has insisted there is no shortage of offensive talent. "Podolski, Giroud, Walcott and Cazorla can all score goals," he said.

medical director Bruce Keogh transaction fees will be withheld if the patient receives the highest level of treatment

Hospitals will face financial penalties if they fail to provide patients with problems such as a stroke or a heart attack the best possible care in the controversial plans outlined by the physician in the top of NHS.

Professor Sir Bruce Keogh

, told the Guardian, said that the new GP-led clinical groups commissioning (GCC), which will take control of 65 billion pounds of spending on health you come back on Monday some of the costs of the hospital for an operation if the patient has not been treated with the highest standards possible. "The idea is that the GCC said:" Let a certain amount of payment from you until you can demonstrate compliance with these standards So it's a bit like the construction industry - . You pay 90% of the [cost] original building, final payments and then comes a little later, when you are sure that everything goes well, "Keogh said in his interview to the new NHS in England begins on April 1 .

differential payments - should - force hospitals to provide high quality care units and forces that do not adopt the latest thinking in their medical specialty to examine what they do. Medical teams that do not implement the latest clinical guidelines - known quality standards - in how to manage those who have a particular condition, lose some, yet to be agreed payment

hospitals should see the new payment system such as carrots rather than sticks, Keogh. "So the idea of ??giving quality and innovation is to keep a little money. 'S not bad, but it is an incentive for people to come to a set of rules."

his stern message to hospitals on the quality of care has been strengthened by the decision Thursday night to stop child heart surgery in Leeds General Infirmary following concerns about the quality of procedures rescues are available and the number of patients who died. A survey of the practice of LGI began.

Monday, the new NHS Commissioning Board takes over from day to day the NHS in England the Department of Health as part of the radical reorganization of coalition service initiated by Andrew Lansley after 2010 elections. His intention is to use so-called Keogh its "financial strength" - budget of ? 95.6bn -. To all hospitals to meet quality standards covering 180 different conditions and procedures

National Health Confederation, which represents hospitals, said he was concerned about the plan. It is much better for small hospitals performance bonus on the full price instead of using sentences against weaker, said Mike Farrar, chief executive and former head of the North West NHS.

"Bruce is right that the Commissioners [GCC] to use levers. But the downside is that if sanctions hospitals fail to set standards, then do not get the rest of the royalty rate and the risk of a downward spiral in which they have the least resources next year to try to meet the standards, "said Farrar.

In the Guardian interview Keogh urged the NHS to help meet the expenditure ceilings by attacking patients receiving unnecessary tests and procedures -. Known as "overtreatment"

Paul Frampton is a particle physicist, Denise Milani a glamor model. They met online, fell in love, made plans to meet. But first, I had to ask a favor: do not collect the bag Bolivia

In November 2011, Paul Frampton, a theoretical particle physicist, met Denise Milani, a model Bikini Czech mate1.com online dating site. She was beautiful - dark hair and dark eyes, with a supposedly natural breast size DDD. In some pictures, looked ironically steam, others offered a warm smile

Soon they were chatting online almost every day. He came home from school - he was professor of physics and astronomy at the University of North Carolina for 30 years - and his team ring. "Are you there, dear?" They chat in Yahoo Messenger for a while, then went into another room to take care of something. A half hour later, there was the familiar buzz. Was always Milani "What are you doing now?"

Frampton had been alone since her divorce three years ago, now seemed those days were over. Milani said he was ready to change his life. She was tired of being a glamor model posing in bikini on the beach, while leering men. She wanted to settle down and have children. But worried about what he thought of her: "You think you could be proud of someone like me" Of course, it could, he said.

Frampton tried to talk on the phone, but she always demurred. When she finally agreed to meet him in person, she asked him to come to La Paz, Bolivia, where he was on a photo shoot. On 7 January 2012, he left for Bolivia through Toronto and Santiago. At 68, I dreamed of finding a wife to give children - and any woman. He imagined Milani introduce his colleagues. One thing bothered him, though. She told him that men hitting on her all the time. How did it affect you? Are they going? But then he remembered that it was comforting to talk with her as a partner in the next room. And he knew she loved him. He said repeatedly.

Frampton had no intention of a long journey - I had to be back to teach - so leave your car at the airport. Soon, he hoped, would return with Milani on the arm. The first thing that was wrong was that he had sent e-ticket for the match at Toronto-Santiago of your trip turned out to be invalid, leaving him stranded in Toronto for a full day. Frampton finally arrived in La Paz, four days after he had left. I hoped Milani meet the next morning, but he was called for another photo session in Brussels. She promised to send a ticket to get there, so Frampton, who had checked into the hotel Eva Palace, worked on a newspaper until he arrives. Airline tickets to Buenos Aires ended with the promise that the ticket was on his way to Brussels. All Frampton Milani asked is that a favor: take a bag that was left La Paz

In Bolivia, Frampton corresponded with an old friend, John Dixon, a physicist and lawyer. When Frampton explained what he was doing, Dixon became alarmed. His warnings were unequivocal: "I said, 'In this case, sewn into the lining, cocaine're be in big trouble.". Paul said: "I'll be careful'll make sure there is no cocaine in there, and if I'm not going to ask you to leave I thought I'd probably kidnap and torture to get your money, I did not know he had the money .... He said, "Well, you're going to die, so who do I contact if you disappear And he said:" My brother and my ex-wife. "Frampton I was told later downplayed warnings as melodramatic Dixon, adding that rarely pay attention to the opinions of others.

the afternoon of January 20, a man described as Hispanic Frampton, but it was not a good look, handed over a bag in the dark street outside his hotel. Frampton expected a Hermes or Louis Vuitton, but the bag was a black cloth bag with ordinary wheels. Back in his room, opened. It was empty. Milani wrote, wondering why this case was so important. She told him he had "sentimental value." The next morning, filled with dirty clothes and headed for the airport.

Frampton flew to Buenos Aires, crossing the border without incident. He said he spent the next 40 hours at the airport of Ezeiza essentially "doing physics" and check your e-mail in the hope that electronic ticket to Brussels happen. But the moment that s' is made, Frampton had asked a friend to send you a ticket Raleigh had been absent for 15 days and was ready to go home. There was always the possibility that future Milani in North Carolina and you want her bag, so we checked in two bags for him and her, and walked towards the door. Soon he heard his name called over the loudspeaker. He thought it must be for an upgrade, but when he arrived counter of the airline, was greeted by several policemen. Questions to identify your luggage - "This is my purse, the other is not mine, but I checked" - pending tested the contents of a package found in the trunk of Milani. A few hours later, he was arrested.

Frampton met last fall, in the office of the prison Devoto, one of the few in the old prison in Buenos Aires, and leakage ruinous for his club open windows and rain through the roof. It was September, the beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere, but there was a chill in the air and the heating system is down, as usual.

"Hey, professor, won the Nobel Prize yet?" a guard shouted as he walked by Frampton. She wore a red tracksuit Adidas, slippers and a tattered Barbour jacket to keep warm. "It is the protection of the royal family brings - is for hunting," said Frampton on. "Look, this is the pocket in the back where you can put a dead bird." He had been Devoto eight months awaiting trial on charges of carrying 2 kg of cocaine into the country. It was located in a house group of 80 men accused of drug trafficking or smuggling, most of them from other Latin American countries. Frampton had almost no experience with drugs, with the exception of occasional consumption and nicotine. Now he lived with people who were not only well versed in the intricacies of the drug trade, but regular users of marijuana and cocaine. The pavilion was often illuminated at night by small spoons in flames as held solitary cooked paco, a paste similar to cocaine is often done with kerosene and sulfuric acid. But there were good things about not being in a single cell. Several prisoners had their own TVs. On Sunday morning, Frampton became the classical music station for a few hours before others got up and turned back to the videos. Whenever his case was reported in the local news, photos of Milani flash on the screen, prompting boos and applause from other prisoners. "I'm a bit of a celebrity here," says Frampton.

from the time of his arrest, had argued that it was the victim of a scam, and he projected a sense that everything that happened was a mistake that will be resolved soon. Perfectly pleasant, followed punctuating my questions about your current situation: "And after that, we will go to the physical, right?"

Finally, his eyes burning with schoolboy enthusiasm, sometimes interrupted by a spasmodic cough - have a lung disease, the smoky air prison makes things worse - he spoke through of what he calls his "14 groundbreaking discoveries," he wrote on a piece of notepaper. has closed half serious talk, half mischievous, calculating with others: "I am the co- author with three Nobel laureates only 11 theoretical physicists have six of the 11 have won Nobel Prizes are always ... In this sense, I have a 55% chance to win the Nobel Prize. "

How

Frampton, who holds a professorship at the University of North Carolina and was an advisor to the U.S. Department of Energy, has completed Devoto seems at first sight a classic tale: a brilliant man the science is in trouble when it comes to navigate the real world. Since his arrest, he has certainly grown this concept, tweak your profile mad scientist, with phrases like: "This is my na?vet?" and "My mind works in a strange way."

Those who know him describe him as a sort of idiot savant who could easily be deceived by those who posed as Milani. "The woman came later in Paul's life," says Richard Czerniawski, who was a student at the University of Oxford and Frampton lives in Buenos Aires. Frampton was first married at age 50, with Anne-Marie, then 52, a French woman who calls herself a groupie physical: "I could not keep track of what Paul said, because the math, but could not understand the words or could not hear the music, music of physics. "The couple divorced in 2008, but they are on good terms. Anne-Marie described her ex-husband as a scientist very good with the emotional age of a child of three years. "I was flabbergasted. Flabbergasted but not surprised," he said, referring to the call he made to his devotee. "Paul is a very experienced traveler, but this line," Do not take the baggage that is not yours, "not even hear it. It is another world, another universe."

A story about the search for a new wife certainly reinforced this view. Shortly after her divorce, Frampton, then 64, was anxious to find a woman between the ages of 18 and 35 years, who understand that when women are most fertile. A promising candidate was a Chinese. After a long email correspondence, Frampton ready to see during a trip to China to visit another eminent scientist, but he met for an hour and "was not going anywhere." The next major competitor seems to have been Milani. "He told me to look on the internet," said Dixon. "I thought it was out of his mind, and told him." We are not talking about the real girl. Why would a young man like that be interested in an old man like you? "But he really thought he was a very young woman who wanted to marry her. "When Frampton later asked what made him think Milani was interested, I said," Well, I was accused of having an enormous ego. "

Over three and a half months, Frampton has called me 42 times in prison. Call to report the news. A piece "light" opinion he wrote in a newspaper of Raleigh "illegal" the rector of the University of action to cut their wages without due process was drawn the provost. (The provost was granted 60 days of paid leave, then suspended his salary until he can resume his duties. Frampton university continued unsuccessfully for his salary.) She welcomes in particular the removal of the president, because the distribution of wages has had a real impact. Apparently, no savings, could not afford a lawyer and had to resort to an overload Argentine defender public. He had given up their health insurance, and ran the risk of losing your car and home to the United States. In Argentina, rushed to get the money he needed to buy decent food in prisons and phone cards, which could be up to 30 in your pocket.

proved that the provost voluntarily retired in June 2013 and continued as a faculty member. Frampton seemed embarrassed to have linked the fate of the Provost to yours. He was excited by something else. The president of Harvard, he had heard, had received a note on your case with the hope that it referred to the President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Kirchner during a visit to the university. "I have never been examined by two people so important," said Frampton. (Never president of Harvard, received a note Frampton, and she had never Kirchner and discuss your case.) Or report had ever hoped it would be under house arrest at any time. (His court-appointed lawyer, Ignacio Anitua, asked that his client be placed under house arrest because of his age and lung disease, but the application was still course through official channels.) he asked me to bring him cheese, blue cheese, curry powder, chili, laptops, reading glasses and phone cards, and expressed frustration at the slow pace of the case . I was particularly exasperated as text messages on your phone confiscated January 20 had not yet been delivered to the lawyer by the police. "It is clear from the message that was not my bag. It should be sufficient to exonerate me. " (His lawyer said that the text messages are actually in the file, but it would never be enough to prove his innocence.)

Monday, Frampton has called three times in the first 15 hours. He perked up and spoke about the "explosive situation" at the university, he still had to restore his salary despite letters of support from, among others, Nobel Laureate Sheldon Glashow and John C. Lee Taylor, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Cambridge. "Research institutions across the country are at risk if a teacher is 30 years his salary suddenly revoked without notice," he said. "This means that the jobs of tens of thousands of teachers are in danger."

second call

18:00: Frampton said it was one month in prison stay ahead of his fellow prisoners were able to convince him that she thought he had been in contact with all the time was probably a man pretending to be her. The real Denise Milani has never been accused of having a role in drug trafficking and has no connection with Frampton. "The only real connection we have through the international media," admitted Frampton. Milani has expressed its concern to have their name associated with drug traffickers, fearing for her and her 12 year old son, and "sympathy" for the teacher. "I'm sorry for her, too," says Frampton.

Third call

, 20:00: ".. could have sanctions that could be killed" He talked about how he had heard of brokers and now living with the discourse on what happens with mules lose the cache. He said that people had told him that someone must have been looking at the airport, so we knew what he looked like. "These thoughts keep me in the night."

Frampton is likely to be regarded as the center of the action, regardless of the medium. Having grown up in Worcestershire, England, in what he described as a "lower middle class family," his mother encouraged him to report their neighbors stellar qualities, a practice that may have led to confusion Frampton laurels young love mundane. At 18, he enrolled at Brasenose College, Oxford, obtaining a PhD in 1968. He has received several offers for postdocs, including Princeton University and the University of Chicago. His advisors suggested that he go to Chicago to work with the physicist Yoichiro Nambu. Nambu, who won the Nobel Prize in 2008, was a giant in the field, but counselors Frampton may have other reasons to lead the way Nambu - Frampton said he had "no ego surprise"

Schaposnik, professor of physics at the National University of La Plata - which, with the University of Buenos Aires, offered a visiting professorship to help him Frampton released pending Devoto trial - said: "It is a typical person trained in Oxford who is part of an elite and I can not imagine such a thing would happen to him.". In fact, Frampton sees people as creative marginal academics who deserve special protection. "People who are socially inept, but they can be more creative. It is very important that you can not be fired. This is the genius of the occupation."

There was a similar case in the past year, the New Zealander Sharon Armstrong, a former officer of the Commission of the Maori language. As Frampton, says she met her lover in a dating site, and after months of online contact, made a plan to meet him abroad in Buenos Aires en route to London to collect certain contracts of paper for him. She was caught with five kilos of cocaine. After the two mentioned in a series of articles, please contact Armstrong Frampton.

In February, the former Leeds striker revealed his sexuality, then left the game. In his first interview since the decision, explains their anger and their hopes for the future

Robbie Rogers must be brave once more on a frosty morning in east London. Even climbing the stairs to open the front door and black in her apartment takes courage - because it's so begins the next step. Once the door is opened, it will be an emotional journey back to the light bruising.

Help

last month, Rogers told the world the truth about yourself in 408 words clear that, on its website, confirmed that: "Life is simple when his secret is out. No pain lies in the stomach at work, avoid questions of pain, suffering and finally to hide a secret so profound. "

Rogers, who represented the United States in 18 international football matches, was signed by Leeds United in January 2012. His time at the club was plagued by injuries, but played briefly for Leeds this season on loan at Stevenage. Leeds left "by mutual consent" for three months.

Rogers then became the second player in Britain gay in public. Justin Fashanu, his predecessor in solo, hanged himself in 1998 in Shoreditch, a short walk from where he lives now Rogers.

"Secrets can cause so much damage internally," Rogers wrote. "People love to preach about honesty, honesty is so clear and simple. Try to explain to your loved ones after 25 years is gay. "

Rogers, a conservative Christian family together in America, held the world at arm's length from the start. Was besieged by offers of money for interviews and contracts, as well as mobile e-mail thousands of people who started and asked how could discover the truth about themselves. Rogers rejected all the money men, but he wrote of ordinary people. Today is a big step forward for him and, as he says, "people like me."

A freezing cold day, under gray skies and heavy, Rogers is away from home. California admitted as a friend who grew up playing soccer, surfing and going to church in a sunny, he misses his family. Rogers must be strong but when it comes for the first time in public about his sexuality and everything you need to get to a point of honesty as pure as it is still alive.

inside his rented apartment, while Rogers coffee and introduced me to Jeffrey, his dog five months of age, and a close friend, he is relaxed. I must say that we had met a week earlier to discuss if and how we could talk, but Rogers admits his fear:. "He was scared when that day comes near First, it was an event I will never come. A then go out with my friends and family and then out into the world and do interviews It's like 'Oh, my God, what's next, "So last night, I was nervous -.?. excited But"

the backdrop for a professional sportsman is so difficult that usually comes feels impossible. There have been notable exceptions - Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas in Orlando Cruz Puerto Rican boxer. However, even the harsh and violent occupations are more tolerant than the tribal world of football.

is still loved by many of us, and mythologized as "the beautiful game", but football has always been a place where intolerance, greed and ignorance flourish. Rogers will become a symbol and a spokesman, but it is important to remember that more than one gay footballer pioneer, he is a man of 25, who came out of the shadow of his secret history.

"I had a very happy childhood," he said. "Very fairytale. Familia conservative Catholic. Five children.'m The middle child for [Rogers laughs] I'm supposed to be gay. California is amazing and at the same time, had a ball at his feet. Aisle We had this giant and I kick the ball up and down for hours. Loved. "

Rogers also fell in love in a way long distance relationship with Arsenal. It seems very difficult to retain Arsenal decade ago, Arsene Wenger, steel and subtlety that went undefeated through a Premier League season ended. "It's hard to be an Arsenal fan right now, but I fell in love with the beauty and toughness of this team. Had players so beautiful. Patrick Vieira was so strong he could kill someone, then burst the ball with his chest and press the dink a pass with such art. When we played in the streets of my team was always Arsenal. "

middle of sunny days and football, with Rogers is talented enough to make national youth teams ages 14 and older, conflicting emotions displayed inside.

"I started to feel very different, and it was a case of" OK, I'm good at football and I would like to draw the attention of girls. Why not me? What is wrong with me? "I realized I was gay when I was 14 or 15 years. I was like, 'I want to play football. Football but not gay. What should I do?

"It feels so marginalized. Simply could not tell anyone because school is brutal States. "Re going through puberty and children can be cruel. I was lucky my older sisters were cool people and I was the kind of football. All these things it is easier for me to hide. But it was also difficult. There are girls who come to you and you're like, "Damn, it would be easier if there was much interested t and I could just play football." I said. ' I can not go out because I practice today or tomorrow's game "

bound Rogers out with girls as a way to appear "normal"? "Yeah .. Of course, I tried to change me now I want girls beautiful, intelligent, surprising - ... If I was right I could go crazy Some of them are still my friends"

After a year in the Dutch club Heerenveen, Rogers noted in his return to the United States, where the Columbus Crew, helped his team win the MLS Cup in 2008. "We won the trophy in Los Angeles, in front of my family with this incredible team. Then we went to a bar and I was like, 'I'd be so happy now ... But I left after a few drinks and I sat on my own in my room, thinking, "OK." 'm gay. But I can not go out because I love football so much. What should I do? The more successful you become the harder it is to step back. "

In England, Rogers became very aware of the impossibility of being publicly gay footballer. It was established and covers international final was won with J?rgen Klinsmann - whose first game in charge ended in a draw against Mexico after an equalizer Rogers

But he realized the bitter truth: "Football is obviously impossible to leave - because nobody did, it's crazy and sad, I thought." Why do not I get away and face .. this and my family and be happy Imagine going to training every day and be in the spotlight was a bit of a circus anyway -? .. But it was crazy and did not have much control because the clubs go in different directions

"I was afraid, I was afraid that my friends would react Is it going to change Although it would still be the same person that would change the way they acted towards me - ..? When we were in the locker room or bus "

In any professional sport, dressing "jokes" in the euphemistic phrase can be cruel. "Especially football," said Rogers. How did you react when homophobic jokes were made - even if his teammates were strangers to their sexuality? "There were different emotions. Sometimes I feel bad for them. Sometimes I laugh because it was a bit funny. Sometimes I malicious.

"That's when I would get this horrible feeling in my stomach that would head and try to talk about other things that often do not mean what they say, it is the pack mentality - ... They try to make people laugh, trying to be the top guys, but brutal, it's like high school again - on steroids ... "

Rogers speaks warmly of individual players. "They are amazing people, really. Footballers are very interesting and professionals from all walks of life. They have great stories when you get away from jokes and backpack. Really can open. To become a footballer professional does something special for you. need this unity, this hunger. "

However, there is something sick in the heart of professional football - personified by its attitude towards homosexuality. "Football is a great sport," said Rogers. "But this is a brutal sport that includes people and hit them in the head. Adding the aspect gay does not make a great cocktail. "

What would have happened if Rogers still played for Leeds when he left? "It would have been interesting," he said wryly. "I do not think I could go to training the next day. It would be so scary. Could Guys say:" This is great, Robbie. Perhaps, but because nobody has done and the things I heard in the locker room just thought: '.. I must get out of this - my ad, find peace, from there "So I can not imagine announcing Leeds. "

could have come while playing for Columbus in the United States? "No, no club -. Anywhere"

And yet in this country, if he played for Leeds and Millwall were far from today? "Wow!" Rogers exclaims. "I can not even think about it."

"If you play well, it will be declared as follows:. Footballer gay plays well" And if you have a bad game will be "Oh, gay guy ... it's hard because he is gay. "Shit. I do not want to mess with that."

Moocs a unique opportunity to create a truly European university says

Alex

Katsomitros -

and may be the only means of survival for smaller universities

Moocs Although

are increasingly in the United States, few things have happened in the world, with the exception of Futurelearn, Open University partnership of 17 universities in the UK, DIVERSITY seat and Berlin. In the European Union, there have been reports of discussions with the European Commission, but little action has been taken so far.

In May 2012, stated that WiredAcademic EU's Erasmus program could soon go online - a good start if you want to see the equivalent of Coursera this side of the Atlantic. But this is not enough.

Higher education is one of the few areas where European integration is perceived positively by most stakeholders, despite occasional problems caused by the Bologna process. The creation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has benefited most institutions, enabling them to provide comparable and compatible qualifications, and international competition. Erasmus has also continued its success with a number of students participating in constant growth.

What is missing in the equation is an institution that not only meet various universities in Europe, but is essentially European. Currently, there are no truly pan-European institutions of higher education, with the exception of a few specialized institutions in Warsaw, Florence and Bruges, which specializes in postgraduate research.

Moocs

a unique opportunity to create a truly European university. But something must be substantially greater than a mere online version of the Erasmus program, and perhaps the most complete and Udacity Coursera.

Europe and the rest of the world

A European Mooc will have its own brand, model contracting authorities enterprise quality and sustainable to attract foreign students, not just in Europe. Students should have the opportunity to combine online and on-campus education, perhaps by splitting their time on campus through two or three countries, two international titles.

Some might see the language barrier is a problem, because 23 languages ??and dialects and even more languages ??are semi-official in the European Union. But as we have said repeatedly by EU officials, the advantage of Europe is its diversity. English and has a leading position in higher education, while other European languages ??dominate in some emerging economies of higher education, such as Latin America. Meanwhile, much of Africa people who speak English, French or Portuguese. In all these areas, there is a growing demand for higher education systems in local higher education can not meet. Thus, a European degree awarding Mooc could facilitate access to quality education to billions of people around the world in their own language.

another advantage of Europe's history and political ties with other regions. Synergies with other parts of the world may come across institutions and programs, and a European Mooc should not exclude non-European institutions. The Union for the Mediterranean, for example, is an international association of 37 countries in Europe, North Africa and Asia. It has been a great success so far, because it does not have a specific mandate. This is an area where you can really work. In Latin America, the Alfa Bridges program has already paved the way for cooperation between universities in Europe and Latin America in areas such as the recognition of qualifications, quality assurance and academic mobility, so that to share content? Why Europe needs a Mooc?

Finally, a European version of Coursera could trigger a debate in Britain similar to that on the accession of the United Kingdom in the European Union. A European university without some accredited institutions in the United Kingdom is a rehabilitation center. Chances are that some of them would be happy to join an association, including the Sorbonne, Universit? Libre etc.. Does this create a division in the UK sector between Europhiles and Futurelearn institutions?

There is little evidence that some justice was interested in a judgment imposing marriage equality in the country

Anyone trying to read the tea leaves of the Supreme Court arguments today on Proposition 8 case should be cautious. Blockbuster surprise of last season in the case of the defense of Obamacare is only the latest evidence of how easy it is to observers, even experienced court misunderstand the meaning of the questions of the judges for the final decision. This is the first sense that prudence is the key, but let me suggest several ways in which care can also be considered the theme of the day.

was a palpable sense of caution as to whether the court has yet to take a decision on the merits. The all-star team of Ted Olson and David Boies legal, who represents those challenging Proposition 8, swung for the fences, so to speak, and asked the court to conclude that a fundamental right to gay marriage that would apply to all U.S. states. Regarding the questions of the judges say anything of substance, suggests very little interest to go that far. In fact, my strongest impression of the arguments is that there is a strong possibility that the court may well not address the constitutional issue in this case.

The court may follow two paths to avoid the merits: one was widely reported and discussed argument earlier, the other is much more confused and not anticipated by many observers all. The so-called "status" issue of justice was asked lawyers to inform and discuss. This question asks whether that sponsored Proposition 8, where it was before voters have the right to appeal when state officials defend normally do, the Governor and the Attorney General of the State, refused to do . This question boils down to whether the vote sponsors are as citizens with strong political views on a law (which generally can not defend a law in federal court) or, on the contrary, officials may act as substitute State the purpose of the trial where the State refuses (which would enforce the law).

two positions problematic vigorously pressed by the judges. How citizens can serve as public servants when they have no obligation or responsibility to the electorate and have never been appointed to the state? On the other hand, how can initiatives authorized officials defend ballots to choose when the object of the process of the initiative is to allow voters, not elected officials, to decide the question? This last point seems to attract the sympathy of Justice Anthony Kennedy certain, which is native to California and is well versed in the central role of the initiative process in the political culture of the state.

considerable attention to foot care, was not a surprise. What was a surprise is that Justice Kennedy - usually beats the voter in court - twice raised the possibility that the court would not have granted review in the case at all. At one point, Judge Sonia Sotomayor spoke with sympathy for this position. Raised this issue for fans of the proceedings of the Supreme Court is whether the court may use a device called "foresight classify a case as given." After only four justices to grant review in the first place - probably the four most conservative in this case. Would five judges "DIG" For the moment, if the four people who voted in favor of the opinion still want to decide? Again, caution is the word of the day, and it is possible that Kennedy has no real interest - or just can not encircle the votes in favor - an option for dismissal.

Among the most liberal judges, there was another kind of plea for caution. They suggested caution about signaling states not to pursue civil union measures such as California did. Several judges expressed skepticism about the idea that theoretically could overturn Proposition 8 with limited control in California or the nine states that allow complete as marriage, the rights of same-sex couples, but do not allow the access to marriage itself. This is the path advocated by the Obama administration and was the basic theory of the Ninth Circuit's decision to drop the Proposition 8. The key idea for the advancement of this argument is that once a state grants same-sex couples marriage rights - especially parental authority and the right to adopt children - can no longer defend the prohibition of same-sex marriage based on ideas about children. It was given to these allegations. However, several judges quickly saw the irony may be asked to give states more rights to same-sex couples are in fact constitutionally vulnerable? In other words, is it conceivable that California is in conflict with the Constitution, but as a state of Mississippi, which offers same-sex couples have no right of ownership, right?

make jokes and ad-improvisation, the new pope is the world's media and explains why he chose himself the name of St. Francis of Assisi. Lizzie Davies reports the Vatican

As he was on the scene of the courtroom Paul VI Vatican wide, Saturday, Pope Francis was still wearing the white cassock crucifix shoes, clear and black that marked his pontificate is minimalist grass aesthetics.

In his first meeting with the thousands of journalists who were tired covering the Vatican in recent weeks filled with action, the first Latin American Jesuit priest and their love expressing gratitude for their work. "You worked, huh?" He chuckled, the informal style that became his trademark.

But some of the biggest applause of the audience was reserved for when a man of simple habits explained why he had chosen for himself the name of St. Francis of Assisi, the saint who devoted his life to peace and the poor.

in conclave, Argentina words, when the votes were counted and things seemed to - in his own words, "a little rough" - Cardinal sitting next to him, an old friend from Brazil , kissed him and said: "Do not forget the poor."

In a clear sign of his desire to restore the priorities of the Catholic Church after the Pope intellectual besieged kingdom apparent distance, Francis added that the memory made him think of St. Francis - a man " I wanted a poor church. "" Oh, I want a church, "he said," who is poor and for the poor. "

"And behold, I shall be a sign of improving relations between the Church and hierarchy and its people. Because [in recent years], the church has not been open to people. "

Program

Rio in the 80s to build more than 500 education centers included a standardized system could show the way to incorporate large design series

from now, our children will be taught in shelters made flatpack and kebab shops. This is the message that Education Secretary Michael Gove has sent since the launch of its dual vision for schools to be built from standardized kits, or "pop-up" in a street redundant unit may be hand

triumphant work Axing Green Building Schools for the Future (BSF) program, accusing the architects of "creaming off cash" and stating that "will not receive award winning architects to design their school" seemed to Gove the appearance of a bad pantomime surreal, constantly hitting the profession.

issue diktats Dickens on the future of education, no frills approach to building their school almost sunk into the stuffing review James, who was appointed an expert Product cheap mass storage business to advise on the types of spaces that can be good for teaching and learning:. cheap large sheds is the inevitable conclusion

But to make war with the architects - and the cause of your body, RIBA, to begin again - both Gove and his opponents has clouded the debate should be: that the "normalization "really means. Properly developed, with the participation of architects, the system could actually be a good thing?

confusion comes from the government's own uncertainty about the right way to go. The call for bold magazine James standardized designs, encouraging entrepreneurs excited to start developing kits cheap flatpack was soon abandoned in favor of the "base" orientation. Launched in October last year, this indicates that schools "should be simple straight lines", 15% smaller than the OSB, and built to 1.465 pounds per square foot (half the price of most BSFS).

The RIBA closed "flatpack" approach as "too restrictive" and warned that "putting a straitjacket on future generations of professional education and the schools quickly become redundant." He alleged that the orientation showed no respect for the well-being of students, environmental comfort, accessibility and sustainability.

"Despite the criticism of the standard systems in the UK has tended to focus on the desire to undress as part of the" architecture "as possible, we were fascinated to discover that the Standards in Brazil has been driven by a focus on broadening the scope of the architecture of quality education for all, "said Salas.
Schools

These buildings could be configured in different ways depending on the site, making it the ultimate flexibility - adapting to places tracks, and additional space alongside main roads. But in all cases, the school was a model of civic pride, built with a strong presence, graphic.
