Dragons can make top four
NEWS.com.au - May 18, 2007
It is a credit to the people within our club who develop these players. Q: The Dragons have not signed a marquee player from outside the club in recent memory. Do you agree the injection of a strong outside influence could have been beneficial, as was the case with Ben Kennedy’s switch to Manly?
A: The Dragons in recent times have never been short of marquee players, most of which have been "home grown”. Gasnier, Cooper, Hornby, Ryles, Barrett, Timmins and Bailey would all be considered marquee players at other clubs. Roster management is about balance in player positions, profile and dollars. Ben Kennedy was good for Manly, no doubt. Ben Kennedy would have lost us two of our up-and-coming local juniors.

Central defender Steven Taylor too is seeking talks over his contract. The 21-year-old, who has two years of his current deal to run, claims he was promised improved terms when he reached 50 senior starts, something he achieved more than a year ago. Talks with his representatives are yet to materialise, and home-grown Taylor, who has established himself as a crowd favourite this season, is hoping that will happen once he returns from a family holiday amid interest from Liverpool and Tottenham. Meanwhile, Allardyce today urged the Toon Army to turn St James’ into a fortress once again as the club announced a freeze on prices for season ticket renewals. Attendances at the 52,000-plus-capacity stadium dropped below 50,000 for Premiership games on six occasions this season, and poor performances - Roeder’s side won only seven of their 19 home league games - contributed to a subdued atmosphere at times. Allardyce said: ‘One of my first jobs will be to address our home form. ‘Our success next season will be built around how well we do at St James’ Park.

Freed Roche: ‘I’ll stay clean’

article-tools –> Andrea Hayward May 18, 2007 06:31am AUSTRALIA’S first home-grown terrorist, Jack Roche, was released from Perth’s maximum security jail yesterday and vowed to stay out of trouble. Convicted terrorist Jack Roche has pledged to stay out of trouble after emerging from a Perth jail, where he served four-and-a-half years for plotting with al-Qaeda to bomb the Israeli embassy in Canberra. The 53-year-old British-born Muslim convert has served just half of the nine-year sentence handed to him in 2004 after he pleaded guilty midway through his trial. Still sporting the long beard he wore before being jailed, the ginger-haired Roche walked out of Perth’s Casuarina prison at 8am yesterday. He at first refused to speak to waiting media before being escorted by prison guards to a taxi and whisked away.
China chasing an urban utopia
Asia Times Online - May 18, 2007
If they are successful, Chinese architecture could
become a model for many other developing nations. ”
Today the majority of Beijing’s
high-profile building projects attempt to steal
the limelight with bold architectural gestures
such as impossibly angled roofs or hanging glass
exteriors. However, some home-grown architects are
pushing innovation in a different direction - one
that focuses on the intrinsic issues of
materiality, limited-budget construction and local
context. In their own small way these
pioneers are contributing to something huge - a
radical new identity for Chinese architecture. Instead of attempting to fuse Oriental esthetics
with Western-style design, leading architects such
as Chang Yung Ho and Ma Yansong are exploring more
sophisticated ways of connecting today’s
construction to their nation’s culture. Combining
an understanding of local craft traditions and the
fabric of urban life with contemporary approaches
to technology and new materials, these designers
are pushing the creative envelope and changing the
built environment in a way that has never been
attempted before. Xu Tiantian typifies the
new breed of Chinese architect.
