Pressure Will Build From Wrong Way Trends- WSE Pro Fed Report

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:52:45 PDT
Interest rates were lower in today’s Open Market Operations as the Fed essentially stood pat. The flood of Treasury Cash Management Bill (CMB) paydowns this week has finally had an effect in the money market, suppressing both the overnight Fed Funds rate and the rates at today’s repo auction. Conversely, the yield at the Treasury’s 2 year note auction rose 48 basis points from the level of the last such auction in March. At the same time, signs are building of decreased indirect bidder interest

A popular “smorgasbord” of instructional content, from the “satirical” to the “humorous” to the “esoteric,”as well as platforms to support it, is emerging, he points out, and online video seems like the perfect medium for it, given the enormous range of subjects people want to learn about.

Ha Noi - World cheer bard�s birthday







Viet Nam News, Vietnam

Ha Noi, world
cheer bard�s birthday


(22-04-2008)








Bloody good show: A
scene from the play Macbeth by artists from the Youth Theatre. �
VNS File Photo

HA NOI � Ha Noi�s Youth
Theatre will join in a worldwide celebration tomorrow of William Shakespeare�s
444th birthday with a performance of an abridged version of the Bard�s famous
Scottish play, Macbeth.


The international event,
entitled Shakespeare 24, is an extraordinary worldwide day of performance
organised by the Shakespeare School Festival in London.


The festival is a unique arts
education initiative which enables young people to perform abridged productions
of Shakespeare�s most famous plays in their local professional
theatres.


Kicking off in New Zealand and
ending 24 hours later in Hawaii, 65 youth theatres and school groups from 35
countries will stage abridged plays at 7pm in their respective time zones on
Wednesday, April 23, Shakespeare�s birthday.


From Mexico to Malawi, Russia
to Rio, the cultural baton will be passed around the world in a day.


In England, the city of
Liverpool, 2008�s "Capital of Culture," is a Shakespear 24 event partner
and will broadcast highlights of the performances.


Receiving the invitation from
the organising board last year, Ha Noi�s Youth Theatre artists have a rare
opportunity to revive a classic play.


Macbeth, written by Shakespeare in 1606-07, is a story of
murderous ambition set in 11th century Scotland.


The Youth Theatre production
tomorrow is based on the production staged by veteran director Le Hung in 2002
and given 68 performanes, including at festivals in Beijing and Shanghai in 2003
and 2005, said the theatre�s deputy director, Truong Nhuan.


The production was
enthusiastically received in China, Nhuan said, especially due to the Asian
theatrical motifs used in the scene depicting the death of Macbeth�s
wife.


"The play is very Vietnamese
in character because director Le Hung used dances from Vietnamese tuong
(classical opera)," Nhuan said.


In the play�s title role,
actor Anh Tu said, "I�m very enthusiastic to play Macbeth as I have played in
many other classic plays from around the world and Viet Nam. I am very proud to
play this role and I try to express the character of Macbeth, who is very
talented but overly ambitious. I like the cause and effect of the play." �

Larry King signs extension that takes him into 2011

Filed under: News, Talk ShowDoesn't it seem like Larry King is aging at about five times the normal rate? I keep thinking he must be in his 90s, but in reality, he's only 74. And it looks like he'll be around a while. According to a TVNewser report, CNN and King have agreed on a contract that will keep the suspender-clad one with the network through June 2011. For the record, he'll be 77 -- but he'll probably seem like he's 153. A recent New York Times story speculated that ratings-challeng
