<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Dieci domande, molte risposte</strong></span><br />
(<em>resoconto del dibattito a Oxford &#8211; mia traduzione dell&#8217;<a href="http://www.axessjournalism.com/Blog/2009/10/22/ten-questions-many-answers" target="_blank">originale in inglese di Ferdinando Giugliano</a></em>)</p>
<p>Il <a href="http://www.axessjournalism.com/Blog/2009/10/22/ten-questions-many-answers" target="_blank">convegno/dibattito sul caso de La Repubblica e sulla libertà di stampa in Italia</a> [organizzato a Oxford il 21 ottobre 2009] ha generato considerevole attenzione e interessanti risposte.</p>
<p>Più di un centinaio di persone hanno partecipato al primo seminario organizzato dal Programma Axess nell’ambito del progetto “<em>Il Giornalismo Italiano nell’Età di Silvio Berlusconi</em>&#8220;. L&#8217;evento si è svolto nella Tayloriana Institutio a Oxford ed è stato organizzato in una collaborazione tra la rete di ricerca “Studi Italiani a Oxford” (ISO) e la Società Italiana dell&#8217;Università di Oxford.</p>
<p>La discussione, presieduta da John Lloyd, direttore del programma Axess, è stata iniziata dal Dr. Mark Donovan, libero docente (“Senior Lecturer”) in scienze politiche presso l&#8217;Università di Cardiff. Donovan ha delineato l&#8217;evoluzione della scena politica italiana nel corso degli ultimi quindici anni. In particolare, ha sottolineato come molti dei temi che caratterizzano l&#8217;atteggiamento degli italiani nei confronti del mondo politico, per esempio la loro scarsa fiducia nelle istituzioni, sono condivisi dai cittadini di molti altri Paesi europei. Al tempo stesso, però, Donovan ha anche sottolineato l&#8217;importanza di considerare l&#8217;Italia un Paese in transizione, cosa che lo rende molto diverso dal resto d&#8217;Europa.</p>
<p>Enrico Franceschini, corrispondente e capo dell&#8217;ufficio di Londra de La Repubblica, ha illustrato i motivi per cui il suo giornale ha posto domande al Primo Ministro sul suo recente comportamento. Ha inoltre detto di pensare che l&#8217;Italia è un Paese dove la libertà di stampa esiste, ma che al tempo stesso il controllo da parte del Primo Ministro sui mass-media che contano davvero (come la TV) è un problema serio, che rende l’Italia piuttosto simile alla Russia. Franceschini ha anche espresso alcune serie preoccupazioni riguardo i recenti attacchi mediatici contro coloro che hanno osato criticare Berlusconi, come il tentativo di “killeraggio” contro il giudice Mesiano.</p>
<p>Dopo questi due contributi, è stato il turno di Maurizio Morabito, addetto stampa della Costituente di Londra del partito di centro-destra “Popolo della Liberta’” (PdL). Morabito ha mostrato come i problemi della libertà di stampa in Italia siano certamente precedenti a Berlusconi. Uno sguardo più da vicino a quanto riportato dalla organizzazione Freedom House (che come noto ha declassato l&#8217;Italia a Paese in cui la stampa è solo parzialmente libera) mostra anche che il punteggio dell’Italia e’ solo marginalmente peggiorato durante l&#8217;era Berlusconi. Morabito ha inoltre affermato che le dieci domande de La Repubblica non sono innocenti e ha detto di pensare che le vere minacce alla libertà di stampa in Italia non riguardano Berlusconi, ma aspetti come l&#8217;influenza politica sulla RAI e le leggi sulla diffamazione.</p>
<p>Il professor Andrea Biondi, Segretario del Partito Democratico di Londra (PD), ha invitato a separare le diverse questioni relative a Berlusconi e a guardare ciascuna di esse singolarmente. Biondi ha riconosciuto che vi sia stata una grave mancanza da parte dell’Opposizione nel trattare il conflitto d’interessi di Berlusconi, ma ha anche sottolineato come ci dovrebbe essere un serio dibattito a livello europeo sulla questione del pluralismo in Italia.</p>
<p>Le presentazioni sono state seguite da un lungo dibattito, che ha fatto durare l&#8217;evento oltre due ore. Il Dottor David Hine, Docente di Politica presso l&#8217;Università di Oxford e membro del comitato direttivo ISO, ha sottolineato il fallimento dei giornalisti italiani, che non hanno permesso al pubblico italiano di capire l’importanza del ruolo di “arbitri” in una democrazia. Su questo punto si è detto d’accordoEnrico Franceschini.</p>
<p>Il Professor Federico Varese del Dipartimento di Criminologia ha paragonato la situazione italiana con quella russa, in particolare per quanto riguarda le angherie subite da persone che si oppongono al potere politico. Il Professor McLaughlin, Professore di italiano a Oxford e membro del comitato direttivo ISO, ha suscitato un lungo applauso quando ha chiesto perché Berlusconi non risponde alle dieci domande de La Repubblica. Maurizio Morabito ha confutato le critiche di Varese e sottolineato come Berlusconi non risponderà per il momente a La Repubblica visto che quel gesto sarebbe visto come un capitolare di fronte al nemico.</p>
<p>A seguire il dibattito, ci sono stati un ricevimento e una cena, tenuti nel famoso Christ Church di Oxford. In quella occasione, il Dr Hine ha dichiarato di pensare che uno dei fatti più interessanti a emergere dalla tavola rotonda sia stato il fatto che non esiste una soluzione facile al problema. Questo è certamente vero, ma continuiamo a sperare che i seminari come quello di ieri e quelli che si terranno in futuro, portino le persone un po’ più vicino a trovarne una.</p>

<p>Il convegno, organizzato dal Programma “Axess” su Giornalismo e Democrazia, ha visto la partecipazione del Prof. Mark Donovan, docente di Storia della Politica Italiana all’Universita’ di Cardiff; di Enrico Franceschini, corrispondente de La Repubblica da Londra; il Prof. Andrea Biondi, segretario della sezione PD di Londra; presente anche Maurizio Morabito, corrispondente da Londra di Italiachiamaitalia.com, in qualita’ di Addetto Stampa della Costituente del PdL sempre a Londra.</p>
<p>In un’atmosfera di dibattito via via piu’ acceso ma mai sopra le righe, il Prof. Donovan ha illustrato la situazione politica italiana in termini anche di liberta’ di stampa con dovizia di particolari e un equilibrio fra le due parti avverse davvero fuori dal comune.

<p>Morabito ha quindi sottolineato come il problema della liberta’ di espressione in Italia, anche secondo quanto riportato da studi internazionali come quello di Freedom House, precede e va ben al di la’ del conflitto di interessi di Silvio Berlusconi, e se c’e’ qualcosa da cambiare sono le leggi riguardanti la diffamazione a mezzo stampa e non solo, al momento troppo restrittive.

<p>E’ toccato quindi agli interventi dal pubblico, in una sala gremita ai limiti della capienza da decine di persone. Fra le domande piu’ interessanti, da segnalare quelle riguardo il perche’ il giornalismo italiano non si sia mai sviluppato come “terza forza” indipendente; e perche’ Berlusconi abbia una pessima reputazione all’estero. E fra i punti di maggiore contesa, il paragone fatto da alcuni fra l’Italia e la Russia, e il perche’ Berlusconi non abbia ancora risposto alle dieci domande di Repubblica (che poi in realta’ sono venti).</p>
<p>A conclusione della serata, l’Axess ha offerto la cena all’interno del prestigioso Christchurch College, in un’atmosfera sempre rilassata dove l’unico punto di assoluto disaccordo ha riguardato l’eventuale danno che il comportamento del Primo Ministro starebbe o non starebbe facendo alle Istituzioni della Repubblica.</p>
<p>Sulla base del successo della manifestazione, verranno quasi sicuramente organizzati ulteriori incontri su temi similari.</p>

<p>They met way back in high school<br />
He&#8217;s your average guy<br />
She&#8217;s the average girl<br />
No one knew he courted her<br />
&#8216;Though some noticed the closeness<br />
&#8216;Til one day people found out&#8230;<br />
They broke up<br />
But they remained friends<br />
Sooner than expected<br />
They&#8217;re back together<br />
High School ended<br />
But they stayed together &#8217;til college<br />
&#8216;Til one day they parted ways again<br />
He was linked to a new girl<br />
There were guys courting her<br />
But they still ended up looking for each other<br />
Her mom found out about them<br />
She tried to fight for him<br />
But gave up soon<br />
She left him<br />
But time was really on their side<br />
They met again<br />
And gave another shot at destiny<br />
There were fights, even other parties<br />
But they managed to stay together<br />
&#8216;Til one day they finally decided to end everything.<br />
It was almost a decade<br />
He loves her so much<br />
She loves him as well<br />
But she knows something is missing<br />
She&#8217;s happy but she wants to be happier<br />
This is the most serious among all the breakups<br />
For this is the only time he gave up<br />
All the while we thought it&#8217;ll be&#8230;<br />
From High School to Forever<br />
It can still be,<br />
For both are not closing doors<br />
We&#8217;re hoping that just like Popoy and Basha<br />
They&#8217;ll have One More Chance.</p>

<p>Finally I was able to watch this film!</p>
<p>John Lloyd and Vilma were, as expected, brilliant. I&#8217;m a little iffy about Luis though. Whenever he&#8217;s on screen, my eyes are drawn to his rather large nose. I tried not to look at it but I just couldn&#8217;t stop staring at it! So I wasn&#8217;t really able to focus on his acting skills.</p>
<p>Anyways, kudos to Star Cinema for being brave producing a film like this. I hope they produce more films that have new and interesting characters.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A couple of articles caught my eye in Saturday&#8217;s Financial Times. First, this <a title="Stokes piece" href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/c854a4b6-af89-11de-ba1c-00144feabdc0.html" target="_blank">piece</a> by Emily Stokes, which sat on the op-ed page right below <a title="Lloyd pieve" href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/c6d8bdc0-af89-11de-ba1c-00144feabdc0.html" target="_blank">this one</a>, by John Lloyd. I couldn’t decide whether they appeared together by accident, or if their proximity was meant to be ironic.</p>
<p>Ignoring significant evidence to the contrary, Lloyd claims feminist &#8217;successes&#8217; make Harriet Harman’s rhetoric &#8216;archaic&#8217;. I guess he hasn&#8217;t heard about massive pay gaps between men and women, well-documented glass ceilings, and female TV presenters losing their jobs as payback for losing their youth. As for Stokes, she says the only place for women on the political podium is as cheerleaders for their heroic husbands, and not as politicians. ‘Nobody likes a Lady Macbeth’, she concludes.</p>
<p>Sure discrimination in all its forms still exists in most areas of society, but sexism remains the last outpost of socially-acceptable bias. For instance, it’s deemed laughable to claim that attitudes towards risk might have been different if women had occupied more senior positions in the financial sector. Simultaneously, it’s perfectly permissible to exclude women from the serious business of tackling the credit crunch that resulted from the well-documented disregard for risk.</p>
<p>This double-speak is illuminating, exposing the fact that Lloyd’s ‘triumph of the right’ is purely rhetorical where equality is concerned. A lack of meaningful childcare policies is transformed into a personal ‘choice’ women make between careers and family life. ‘Fairness’ means that positive discrimination schemes are deemed to fly in the face of ‘merit’, never mind whether ‘merit’ is the prevailing criterion for advancement. And no female leader &#8211; from Queen Victoria to Margaret Thatcher, or from Chile’s Michelle Bachelet to Yuliya Tymoshenko in the Ukraine &#8211; has managed to unseat Shakespeare’s ruthless anti-heroine as the prototype for ambitious women.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Does the name Mark Wallington mean anything to you? No, I&#8217;m not talking about the former Leice]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Does the name <a href="http://www.mbalit.co.uk/pages/writers/wallington.html">Mark Wallington</a> mean anything to you? No, I&#8217;m not talking about the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wallington_%28footballer%29">former Leicester and Lincoln City goalkeeper</a> but the author and TV screenwriter of the same name.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s probably best known for his book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Five-Hundred-Mile-Walkies-South-west/dp/0099523906/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1254786166&#38;sr=1-9">500 mile walkies</a> but there were a <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url?_encoding=UTF8&#38;search-type=ss&#38;index=books-uk&#38;field-author=Mark%20Wallington">few others</a> that made it to TV too including <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Missing-Postman-Mark-Wallington/dp/0751500879/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1254786278&#38;sr=1-6">the Missing Postman</a> with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bolam">James Bolam</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Happy-Birthday-Shakespeare-Mark-Wallington/dp/0140270582/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1254786251&#38;sr=1-8">Happy Birthday Mr Shakespeare</a> starring <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Morrissey">Neil Morrissey</a>. The latter, coincidentally, that saw a relationship start between Morrissey and co-star <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Holden">Amanda Holden</a> which reportedly lead to the break-up her marriage to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Dennis">Les Dennis</a>.</p>
<p>Why am I telling you this? Well, I&#8217;ve recently been re-reading his book called <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Day-Job-Adventures-Jobbing-Gardener/dp/0091800390">The Day Job</a> about his life a jobbing gardner in 1980. What will perhaps be interesting to people on here is that his &#8216;other&#8217; job was as an aspiring comedy writer. It talks about meeting director <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lloyd_%28writer%29">John Lloyd</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Allen_%28comedian%29">Dave Allen</a> and finally getting two sketches on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_the_Nine_O%27Clock_News">Not the Nine O&#8217;clock News</a>. The news comes <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/december/8/newsid_2536000/2536321.stm">the day John Lennon was shot</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to read a funny book and get a flavour of someone&#8217;s struggle to be recognised in the comedy world I would heartily recommend it. You can even <a href="http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/catalog/author.htm?authorID=2432">read some of the book online</a>.</p>
<p>Also of interest is that his writing partner at the time was <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0275734/bio">Dick Fiddy</a>, a TV historian who wrote <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_Believed_Wiped">Missing Presumed Wiped: Searching for the Lost Treasures of British Televison</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Failure this bad really deserves its own post. Great Britain lost to Poland, 3-2, a result which puts us into Group II of the Europe/Africa zone. That&#8217;s the same group as Hungary, Monaco, Lithuania, and Egypt, whose Davis Cup team is actually made up of mummies.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6395" title="great britain" src="http://newballs.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/great-britain.jpg" alt="great britain" width="480" height="453" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Not so much.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This really is beyond dismal. Credit to Andy Murray, who showed up injured and fatigued and did his bit, picking up the second of two points by polishing (ha!) off Jerzy Janowicz 63 64 63 to level the tie at 2-2.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6396" title="great britain3" src="http://newballs.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/great-britain3.jpg" alt="great britain3" width="480" height="359" /></p>
<p>But why &#8211; <em>why</em> &#8211; Dan Evans couldn&#8217;t even take a set off a player ranked 376 places beneath him is beyond my comprehension. The British no. 2 lost to Michal Przysiezny 62 61 75 in less than two hours, losing his serve no less than seven times.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6397" title="great britain2" src="http://newballs.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/great-britain2.jpg" alt="great britain2" width="479" height="340" /></p>
<p>From all accounts, the Pole raised his game significantly. But Evans must have played well below his, which is kind of the opposite of what&#8217;s supposed to happen in Davis Cup.</p>
<p>Murray <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/daviscup/6212294/Andy-Murray-British-tennis-deserves-Davis-Cup-relegation.html">has it right</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think now, at last, we are where we deserve to be. We clearly are not good enough to be playing against these teams,&#8221; Murray said. &#8220;With or without me, we are struggling to win matches.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everybody who&#8217;s involved – and I am one of them – needs to be honest about how we are doing and that we need to get better. This could be the best thing that happens.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s a valid point. I mean, what&#8217;s going to happen? Unless something changes, we&#8217;ll get back up to Group I of the zone and then just lose all over again.</p>
<p>God. I wanted to rant about the patheticness of this, but I don&#8217;t even have the energy. You <em>suck</em>, Great Britain. <em>We </em>suck.</p>

<p>Noong isang araw, sa SNN, parang walang ibang happening sa mundo ng ABS-CBN (oo, aminin na, Star Studio News Ngayon dapat ang name ng show), kundi In My Life. Kaya&#8217;t nang nakangiting ibinabalita ni Toni Gonzaga ang aksidenteng muntik ikabulag ni dear Coco, pinag-isip ako, kaya ba may hype sa pelikulang ito dahil:</p>
<p>a. buhay pa ang mga solid Vilmanians edad 40-70<br />
b. Gov na si Ate Vi at malapit na ang eleksyon<br />
c. sa SNN at iba pang PR makinarya ng Lopez<br />
d. ang cute ni John Lloyd<br />
e. tungkol na naman ito sa kabaklaan (yoohoo! direk Joey Reyes, wer na u?)<br />
f. all of the above</p>
<p>Key in your answers by typing INMYLIFE space [Letter of your choice] and send to 2366. Antayin nyo ang reply ng asawa ni Florinda.</p>

<p>What grabbed my attention is his reference to Sir Isaac Newton believing that Jesus came to earth to &#8220;operate the levers of gravity&#8221;.</p>
<p>Maybe gravity is linked closely with love&#8230;or should I say Love&#8230;.Maybe Love is what holds and draws us to God and one another&#8230;maybe Jesus came to increase our capacity to Love, to be attracted, to connect, to be intimate with God and one another&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 220px"><a href="http://www.jobsdb.com.ph"><img alt="Your goal should give you direction." src="http://www.jobsdb.com.ph/PH/EN/V6HTML/Home/Images/july09/celebprofile_0709.jpg" width="210" height="210" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&#34;Your goal should give you direction.&#34;</p></div>
<p>She surprised us all with her ability to play a character older than she was in her breakthrough soap Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay. From that time on, Bea Alonzo has proven her worth as an actress in such vehicles as Maging Sino Ka Man and the blockbuster movie One More Chance. JobsDB talks to Bea and gets her to spill the secrets of her success.</p>
<p><strong>What to you is the best and worst thing about having a career in showbiz?</strong></p>
<p>The best would be the money. Aminin na natin, hindi mo makukuha sa ibang trabaho ang makukuha mo sa showbiz. At saka hindi boring ang showbiz. As actors, we get to do a lot of different things and live different lives. Kaya ang dami kong natututunan.</p>
<p>Ang worst siguro yung puyat, at yung nababawasan ang privacy mo.</p>
<p><strong>What is the best career advice you’ve ever received?</strong></p>
<p>I remember something that Tito Ronnie Lazaro asked John Lloyd and me when we were still doing Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay, our first soap. He asked us: “Hanggang kailan kayo magtatagal sa showbiz?” I replied,”Hangga’t gusto pa din kami ng mga tao.” Tito Ronnie said that it’s really up to us. “Dapat, ang sabihin n’yo, hangga’t gusto n’yo pa. Dahil basta gusto n’yo pa ang ginagawa n’yo, hangga’t mahal n’yo ang trabaho n’yo, may dahilan kayong magpatuloy.” What he meant to say was, when you don’t love what you’re doing anymore, you know that it’s time to stop.</p>
