IT’S SATURDAY morning and bluegrass music drifts gently on thebreeze. A young girl scrapes unmercifully on a violin as the crowdmeanders past a range of stalls at which local gourmet gurus arepeddling organic, and often highly original, produce. Just 20minutes from Noosa’s sparkling sapphire coastline, Eumundi Marketis in full swing. Established in 1979, Eumundi Market is a biweekly necessity forlocals and an annual pilgrimage for visitors who flock to stock upon comestibles and larder luxuries that have the added cachet ofbeing home-grown and homemade.

“There is only so much money that corporates will spend on sportand the Collingwoods and Essendons and Carltons of the world arenot going to sit on their hands if money goes to the MelbourneStorm that used to go to them,” Nadel said. But Waldron said “there’s no doubt there are enough peopleliving in Melbourne and enough corporate support in Melbourne tosupport more than just the AFL teams that run around”. David Glynn, 25, a member of Storm’s small but passionatehome-grown supporter base, has seen the club develop from thebeginning and stakes his spot in the same area near the scoreboardevery game where he meets a group that has grown from five to 20people in the past two seasons. “In the early days it was really loud, the atmosphere was greatand it was whole a lot of fun,” Glynn said. “But from probably 2000to middle of this year, the crowds have been down and theatmosphere has not been anywhere near what it was. But now it’sgetting back to what it was at the start. They are cult heroesagain, where everyone around me rises when they go near theball.
Thomas making big push for World Cup
Times Online – Sep 17, 2006
Six years after being encouraged to leave South Africa for a rugby career in Gwent with the Dragons by his Newport-born father, Colin, the 24-year-old tighthead won his first cap in Buenos Aires in the second Test of Wales’ summer tour. He is now superseded in the pecking order on the right-hand side of the scrum only by the accomplished English cross-over Chris Horsman and Adam Jones, of the Ospreys, the only home-grown Welshman of the three. Thomas has youth, mobility and handling ability on his side, as well as a growing reputation as a scrummager, and his stock has risen so rapidly that he could leapfrog his rivals by the start of the 2007 World Cup. Dragons coach Paul Turner is not given to exaggeration, and when he says that Thomas has “the makings”, it is praise of the highest order. In his days at Gloucester, Turner had first-hand experience of England’s World Cup winning props Trevor Woodman and Phil Vickery, as well as French international Patrice Collazo. “I first saw Rhys play for Wales against South Africa, including Schalk Burger, in the U21 World Cup in 2004, and thought then that he had the potential.
Rod Liddle: Pardew may pay for the offer Hammers can’t refuse
Times Online – Sep 17, 2006
Well, how things change. It seems to me that Pardew’s achievement last season was unarguably the most spectacular not only in the Premiership, but across all four divisions. His team became the Premiership side that neutrals could cheer for; exciting, plucky, largely home-grown and devoid of the repulsive excesses of yer Chelseas and Manchester Uniteds. Now, to add to all this, we may mark him down as truly principled as he squirms with palpable discomfort over what is happening, or may be about to happen, to the club for which he works.
Facing up to the challenges of an ageing population
Guardian Unlimited – Sep 17, 2006
Dealing with that mass of regulation adds expense and ‘more importantly, [companies] need more capital to do it. From a shareholder’s point of view [that means] investment in this country is less rewarding. ‘ Home-grown companies are at a disadvantage compared with foreign rivals, which operate under a less onerous regulatory regime, he says. Looking at the list of companies that operate here, the statement seems illogical. Axa itself is French, although it owns old-established British brands such as Sun Life and healthcare business PPP. Germany and Canada, Australia and America are all represented in the British insurance market. Indeed, our insurance and financial services market is seen as being among the most competitive in the world, and its regulator, the Financial Services Authority, one of the most effective and efficient regulators anywhere.
