The Importance of Food Literacy - Frontiers in the Environment Speaker Series Online
Wednesday, October 30, 2013
Cost: Free
The Institute on the Environment of the University of Minnesota will be sponsoring a "Frontiers in the Environment" lecture series on Wednesdays from 12-1 p.m. �These take place on the Twin Cities campus, but UMC will be participating online in the Minnesota Room.
This series is open to all faculty, staff and students. Bring your sack lunch or go through Dining Services and expand your thoughts.
October 30 � The Importance of Food Literacy
Chris Lambe, Director of Social Responsibility, The Mosaic Company
How much do you know about your food system? Given that fact that our global food supply will have to increase 70 percent in the next 40 years; given the amount of information and disinformation about our food system circulating on the Internet; and given the fact that most of us enjoy eating, isn't it time to uncover the facts, understand the choices we will have to make and start a real dialog about food? Lambe will explore some of the trade-offs we will have to consider, including one of the hottest debates in food: mineral fertilizer versus organic fertilizer.
Questions, contact Dan Svedarsky - email@example.com - 218-281-8129

*** Upcoming Workshops ***
Get the book!
Functional Awareness: Anatomy in Action for Dancers
- Innovative approach to anatomy and dance training, where anatomy meets artistry
- Founded on over 30,000 hours of experience training dancers
- Improves dance technique by enabling dancers to recruit effort efficiently
"I bought your book and have already used it in my introductory ballet class at Joy of Motion Dance Center. It is clear, well-organized, and the illustrations clarify many of the things I tell my students."
– Rima Faber (Chair, Dance Task Force of the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards)
What is Functional Awareness®?
Functional Awareness® (FA) is a practical somatic approach that provides a series of explorations in experiential anatomy to:
- enhance our understanding of movement function
- facilitate ease in body action
- improve dynamic alignment.
Here is what people are saying about Functional Awareness® Anatomy in Action:
"…your workshop (Functional Awareness Anatomy in Action for Alexander Teachers) was incredible. You are organized, incredibly knowledgeable and well versed. Your workshop was jam packed with practical information and procedures. What I liked the best of all is your integrity, commitment and love of the work…that was so encouraging to me!!"
—Eve Silver M.AmSAT
"I wanted to tell you that we did the FA theraband activity for tendu today in my Ballet 4 class. It worked like a charm. All the dancers said they could feel the musculature they needed to support themselves and they felt more turned out. The best part of all was that they felt strong and as a result, more confident. The power and balance they took into the center floor was amazing. It was one of our best classes this year.
"Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom and learning with us. I will certainly be back for more."
—Maria Royals, Director of Dance at the Carver Center for the Performing Arts
"These workshops are so vital to what we all do! Nancy and Allegra are a great team…my students got so much out of just one, short workshop! Make the time to attend, you'll be so happy you did!"
—Lynda P Fitzgerald Coordinator of Performing Arts, Director AACC Dance Company

As someone who has managed to kill a few irises from the west coast, I
thought I should post this photo. The one on the left is BEL ESPRIT,
the one on the right is ALPENVIEW. ALPENVIEW is an EM, so there's a

Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.Read full description
Also available:
Top 50 Title:
Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.
This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns. You'll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you'll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan.
You'll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You'll also encounter five new uncommon common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.
Helping to take L4D's frantic, action-packed gameplay to the next level is AI Director 2.0. This improved Director has the ability to procedurally change the weather you'll fight through and the pathways you'll take, in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match your performance. L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play.
Key Features:
Next generation co-op action gaming from the makers of Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike.
Over 20 new weapons & items headlined by over 10 melee weapons – axe, chainsaw, frying pan, baseball bat – allow you to get up close with the zombies
New survivors. New Story. New dialogue.
Five expansive campaigns for co-operative, Versus and Survival game modes.
An all new multiplayer mode.
Uncommon common infected. Each of the five new campaigns contains at least one new uncommon common zombies which are exclusive to that campaign.
AI Director 2.0: Advanced technology dubbed The AI Director drove L4D's unique gameplay – customizing enemy population, effects, and music, based upon the players' performance. L4D 2 features The AI Director 2.0 which expands the Director's ability to customize level layout, world objects, weather, and lighting to reflect different times of day.
Stats, rankings, and awards system drives collaborative play

After looking through my most played games list I realised I owed it to the Left 4 Dead games to leave my positive review, even if it'll be lost in a sea of the other 150,000+ positive reviews. Left 4 Dead is built on a couple of basic but important principles: It's immediately playable even to new players, it's movie-esque and the sound, vision and events are important for suspense and tension during gameplay and it's absolutely hands-down a game that excels at cooperative dynamics and benefits from friendly banter. All these things combined mean that 8 years after release it's just as fun, and despite the fairly frustrating online playerbase and mindset, and some failings towards long-term play, it's still absolutely a game that you can dive right into at any time and have some good old fashioned fun.
Left 4 Dead 2 is a very fun adventure game in which you team up with 3 others and kill countless zombies as you fight for your survival. It has many weapons such as assault rifles, pistols, axes and even chainsaws. It has a good storyline as well, making the characters who need to survive quite interesting as they have to interact with each other. While the zombie-killing is fun, after a while it will get repetitive and you'll run out of fun ways to kill zombies. Another downside is that you should really play it with others, as with bots it is really bad because they act like they have no brain. There are a good range of modes however, even the ones where you get to control zombies!
Get 3 friends and go for it! L4D2 is a unique, fast paced first person shooter with loads of replayability. Even if you get bored of the official valve content there are tons of fun community maps to try out. Despite the zombie theme L4D2 is not really a horror game and the L4D2 campaign and characters in particular are pretty cartoonish compared to the darker design of the original Left 4 Dead. However, all of the L4D1 maps were ported over to L4D2 a long time ago now, so there isn't much need to buy the original. And yes, it's still alive. Is an "undead game" :D
It's just a lot of fun. Every mechanic is tight and well-constructed, the special zombies are all well thought out in how they affect the group dynamics, and all the gear is fun to use. Its wide range of redundant weapons slightly removes the original L4D's glorious simplicity, but this game is still the better purchase for the sheer amount of content - it even includes all the original L4D's maps, campaigns, and characters. Combine that with the extremely fun Versus gamemode and some really great Steam Workshop contributions and you have a game that you can easily sink hundreds of hours into if you have the friend group to support it.
One of the things i love the most in games and movies are zombies and its all thanks to this game. it because of Left 4 Dead 2 that i fell in love with zombies, this game is just one of the best games i have ever played and after 7 years from its release i am still going back to my zombie roots and play this game again. if i could i would have give it 200 out of 100

Thank you for your patience whilst we complete this process.

Reviews for this vacation home rental in West Palm Beach, Florida
Quiet neighborhood, very clean home
Lynn Davis Longo
Quiet neighborhood, very clean home
June 15, 2016
My dog and I and various family and friends stayed at this home for 3 weeks in May. Suzanne, the owner, met me there upon arrival and gave me a very, and I do mean VERY thorough run down on the house and pool. I had a few questions (but no issues) during my stay, and Suzanne was always quick to respond either by phone or text. I had a family emergency, and Suzanne did her best to find me new accommodations as her home was rented for the following week. The house was nicely re-done and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked ( I could have had a sit down dinner for 30 with all the plates and glasses!) Though it did not affect the quality of my stay, I felt there was a bit much "stuff" spread about. The house is not large, and the amount of nick-knacs on display made it seem smaller than it actually was. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were a nice size. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Everyone I passed on my daily walks was friendly. The pool area was wonderful. The pool is not heated so it was very refreshing to swim, not like being in a sauna when it close to 90 degrees out! Overall, I had a great time, and would recommend this home to anyone looking for some R & R in a peaceful setting. PS Make sure to try the Greek place next to Publix on Hypoluxo. Great service, great food, priced right :)

Well What can I say more about this place. This is a year latter and we again enjoy our stay at this location. The house is still spectacular and everything inside was the same as the year before. The neighbourhood is safe and close to everything and we really felt in love with the area since we know the place so well now. The owner Suzanne and Rick was there to great us on arrival, they are such a nice people. This year we got lucky enough to be able for an additional 15 days in Jan. We did experience some bad weather with some tornedos but we felt so safe since the house is a solid place. Suzanne and Rick are not the type of landlord that will be there all the time to bother you. When they end you the keys, it seems that they have all the confidence in the world that you will take good care of their place. However if you ever need their help, I can guarantee you that they will be there right away to help. The pool is so nice and my spouse and I spend every morning on there with a nice cup of coffee and relax under nice palm trees. For the beach enthusiasm, you will find that is a short drive to the Lake Worth pier, Lantana beach, and the Boynton beach inlet our preferred one. They also provide you with all of the beach apparel so you don't have to worry about finding or bringing your own equipment. The only negative that I have this year is that we can tell that the weather is taking is toll on the exterior like flower beds, grass, fence and lawn furniture. I can imagine the constant maintenance needed to maintain all of these article in an excellent shape must be a headache but very important for renters because looks is everything and shows quality of ownership. We normally rent or reserve in advance however with our Canadian economy we have to wait this year and see if there is change but definitely this is the place to go if you want to spend a good holiday. We will definitely come back and hope to book again for next year.

We had the perfect holiday without any disappointments. Susanne the owner was there on our arrival to explained everything to know about the house. She is great and very friendly and throughout with her briefing. The house is very clean and extremely well equipped. Nothing was missing and well organized, it was like being at home. The subdivision is quiet and we felt safe. There is a nice pool and a beautiful backyard with lawn chairs, tables, BBQ garden light and so one. We spend a lots of time out door enjoying the sun. We also meat Rick the co owner. He is also fantastic and willing to help if we needed some things done. We had no issue with the house and everything work as advertised. The pictures are really what you see and the house is well upgraded. We did enjoyed it so much that we already booked for next year without hesitation.

This vacation was perfect from the minute we walked in the door. Truly it was more than we expected. Everything was provided and MORE. Our hosts bent over backwards to make sure we were accommodated with everything we wanted. The home is completely furnished with anything and everything you could want. Beautifully decorated, very relaxing. There is a barbecue for outdoor grilling, and privacy for eating around the pool area completely fenced in. This is a beautiful home with a beautiful pool. Anything you want to do is nearby, so you are close to everything. I am so thankful we chose to visit the West Palm Beach area and will return. Thank you Susanne and Rick for everything!

From the initial contact with the owner of the property to the final day of my stay (my wife, my dog, and I), it was the best vacation ever. Let's start with checking in. There's a lockbox with a key in it. Usng the code was a snap. i broke the key in the door lock. Hadn't even entered the house before I caused a problem. One phone call to John, the owner, and 5 minutes later we had another key. The house is a marvelous place to stay. Quaint and comfortable. Everything in the property listing was as advertised. The pool was really nice and the hot tub superb. I enjoyed having some of my meals on the screened in lanai. Talk about comfortable chairs and a great table. The home's location could not be better. Walking distance to a very active Lake Worth downtown, it is also within 15 minutes of multiple good food restaurants. The beach is 10 minutes from the property with average traffic. Dog owners, this is ideal for you. There is a fenced in backyard which encompasses the pool and a large grassy area. My dog loved going outside whenever he wished. There are also 3 off-leash dog parks within reasonable driving distance. Bring your dog. Kids are okay too. Lastly, lets talk about the owner. John is a most wonderful, responsible individual. No property (even hotel rooms) go problem free for a month. When we called John, he essentially thanked me for calling and took care of whatever minor problem existed. John seemd more like family than owner. He was a delight to work with, With his handyman, problems became non-problems essentially within hours. You may choose to overlook this Florida gem. If the opportunity presents itself, I'm coming back for another February.

We stayed in this house for almost a month and it was just wonderful. The house is very clean, nicely furnished and with all the amenities you could wish for. It is functional, comfortable and cosy all at once. The little garden with the beautiful pool is fenced in so that our dog (small poodle) could run around without getting lost. Shopping (Publix) and starbucks and restaurants are close by (even within walking distance by European standards). There are parks for walking and it is not far to West Palm Beach for more shopping, dining and entertainment. In short it's the perfect place and Susanne, the landlady, does everything to make your stay a pleasant one. She is always within reach when you need her and leaves you alone when you don't. We are coming back next december, couldn't think of a better place!
Great House.. Better Location

Great House.. Better Location
April 8, 2013
The pictures don't do this house justice. Much nicer and bigger then we expected. The bathrooms were updated and clean, 3 of them, with hot water for 6 consecutive showers. The pool was big and had a slide. If you are there Dec-Mid April it is rather chilly. No heater but Late April through Nov it will be normal Miami bath water. If you know anything about Miami it is located in the Roads community. Centrally located 8 blocks from Brickell, 10 minutes from Key Biscayne, 10 minutes from Coral Gables(the U)/ Coconut Grove and 20 minutes from South Beach. AWESOME! We have college friends down there and hosted 2 dinner parties while there. The dining room table is big enough for 12 adults and you can also set up a kid table in dining room for 15 kids like we did. Or clear the table, put up a disco ball(kidding), and have a studio 54 dance floor. Thats how big the dining room is. Furniture is leather in TV room, appliances in kitchen are stainless and A/C cold enough to be chilled in the summer months. Only negative is if you do host parties.... bring pots,pans, knives, platters from home cuz it doesn't have good kitchen wares. Gas grill outside gets "white" hot for you serious grillers also. Overall best rental house we ever rented in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale areas. Great owner also. Coffee pot broke and in 3 hours we had Martha bring us a new one. Thats great service!!!!

This was a perfect experience. The house was exactly as advertised, we walked in on Jan 1st and walked out on Mar 31st without a hitch. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. My wife and I left Lake Worth 40 years ago and moved up north, going back was a pure joy. Many things have changed and many things have remained the same. Lake Worth is a old Florida beach town and for those of you who haven't lived in Florida that is a compliment. The house was spacious, very nicely decorated, the pool was beautiful. The landlords, Liz and James Bologna (that's Bologna as in the actor Joe Bologna) attended to our every request. It was like it was our house, we were at home the first day. We are looking forward to returning next year!

A lovely home, tastefully decorated, all the amenities including a nice-sized pool (and tons of towels!). Includes wi-fi and satellite TV. The owner was gracious and accommodating - a pleasure to work with. Located in a quiet neighborhood, close to I-94 and to shopping and less than a half hour from the West Palm Beach airport. My family of four loved the place and hope to be able to rent it again in the future.

A Theory of stopping Time Games with Applications to Product Innovations and Asset Sales
In this paper, the pure strategy sub game perfect equilibria of a general class of stopping time games are studied. It is shown that there always exists a natural class of Markov Perfect Equilibria, called stopping equilibria. Such equilibria can be computed as a solution of a single agent stopping time problem, rather than of a fixed point problem. A complete characterization of stopping equilibria is presented. Conditions are given under which the outcomes of such equilibria span the set of all possible outcomes from perfect equilibria. Two economic applications of the theory, product innovations and the timing of asset sales, are discussed.

We still might not have proper perspective on how amazing Rob Gronkowski's 2011 season was. Yes, he set a record for receiving yards and TDs by a tight end and finished tied for second among players at all positions in red zone targets. Yes, his ankle injury -- which required surgery this winter -- was one of the main storylines that altered the Super Bowl. Yes, he had some highlight-reel runs that I still can't believe, including this one, which gives you a sense of how ox-strong this guy is.
But the extent to which he outdistanced the other men who play his position is what's most amazing. While the best TEs usually outdo their more pedestrian counterparts by nice margins, they simply don't produce enough raw points to rank highly in Value-Based Drafting. In '04, when Antonio Gates set the TD record that Gronk busted wide open, Gates was the top TE in fantasy but finished 19th in the VBD rolls. In '09, when Vernon Davis tied Gates for single-season TDs, Davis finished 32nd in VBD. Yet Gronkowski finished 11th last season, which is unprecedented in the past decade. That's what scoring 18 total TDs and racking up 1,327 receiving yards will do.
To be fair, Jimmy Graham and his 1,310 yards and 11 scores weren't far behind: Graham finished second in fantasy points among TEs in '11 and 22nd in VBD. But honestly, 22nd isn't that unheard of for fantasy's annual top man at this position:
Highest-Scoring Fantasy TE, Past 8 Seasons
Did Gronk's season completely change the game? Is he an acceptable first-round draft pick? Will Graham or any of the half-dozen other elite-seeming options join Gronkowski in the fantasy stratosphere and change the way we think about TEs? After all, we seem to be entering a golden age of talent at the position, and in a copycat NFL there's a chance more teams could adopt the two-TE-heavy attack that makes the New England Patriots so tough. Let's look at the important fantasy TEs for '12, then talk some strategy.
The elite
There are only two truly elite TEs in fantasy drafts this year, and I've already mentioned them: Gronkowski and Graham. They were basically used as giant WRs in '11 and there's every reason to expect that'll continue this season. The only real difference between them last year was Gronk finding the end zone seven more times, which doesn't seem reasonable to expect again. That's more than a TD per game, which history teaches us is basically unrepeatable; there never has been a pass-catcher (WR or TE) who scored 17-plus TDs in a season score more than 13 the following year. (And no pass-catcher who's scored 18 has eclipsed 11 the following season.) The likeliest outcome here is that Gronk's TDs regress but that he and Graham still score double-digit TDs and rack up insane yardage. Gates has been a fantasy factor for eight consecutive seasons, but he has missed nine games the past two years and has lost more than a step. His running ability after the catch is now below average, and he had one play that went for more than 27 yards in '11. That said, Gates has scored seven-plus TDs in those eight straight years and is a savvy route-runner and a dangerous red zone threat. Davis practically won the San Francisco 49ers' playoff game over the New Orleans Saints by himself last year, with 180 yards and two scores, then turned right around and nearly beat the New York Giants with another 112 yards and two more TDs. But where was that during the regular season? Davis was a fantasy disappointment in '11, finishing with six TDs and 105 fantasy points, tied for eighth among TEs. His 6.7 yards at the catch (Y@C) mark was 21st, and there's the rub: Alex Smith is such a constraining factor. Still, Davis has been a top-10 fantasy TE for three years running, and I'm hard-pressed to imagine he won't make it four. Jason Witten trailed off in a major way in last season's final six games, failing to score a TD or eclipse 50 yards receiving in any single contest. He has been a top-eight TE for five straight seasons, so he's about as safe as they come for fantasy, but I'm not sure he's ready to join this new generation of catch-only TEs, if only because he's such a good blocker. He belongs to the quasi-elite class of guys you can feel good, if not great, about starting every week. In a season in which everything else Aaron Rodgers did was golden, Jermichael Finley was a big disappointment. He had 11 drops and, outside of a three-TD game in Week 3, was merely pedestrian. But this is a big man who can fly, and this winter the Green Bay Packers inked him to a two-year deal, signaling their commitment to him. He has some flakiness, but I think Finley easily stays a fantasy starter in '12. Finally, there's Gronkowski's teammate Aaron Hernandez. It defies logic that the Patriots boasted two of fantasy's top three TEs last season, and perhaps that was a function of a lack of WR talent after Wes Welker. Hernandez might be likelier to lose fantasy value to someone like Brandon Lloyd, since Gronk is basically unguardable in the end zone. Nevertheless, opponents knew the TE-heavy attack was coming in '11 and couldn't stop it, so until I see Hernandez stymied, I guess I have to remain a believer.
Not Sexy But Get The Job Done
I put Tony Gonzalez in the "falling down" category last year, and all he did was finish fourth in fantasy points among TEs. Whoops. Listen, the Hall of Famer we all remember from his days with the Kansas City Chiefs hasn't suddenly returned; Gonzo has the worst yards-after-catch average of any starting tight end over the past two seasons. But even if his speed is almost entirely gone, he's still an amazing specimen running patterns, and his hands are stellar. If you wait on your TE, Gonzalez is an acceptable low-level starter, though personally I prefer the guy that follows Gonzo on this list. Brandon Pettigrew embodies the "unsexy" ethos. He finished last season second in targets among TEs and third in catches, but 11th in receiving yards and fantasy points. Why? Because the Detroit Lions rarely throw it to him beyond 10 yards down the field. Tosses to Pettigrew were glorified handoffs, and that limited his upside. He's one of the best blocking TEs in the business, so if and when the Lions can keep a running back healthy long enough to produce a good ground game, Pettigrew's numbers might suffer, but I believe he's capable of stretching the field at least a little more this season than he did last. Brent Celek was a fantasy playoff superstar in '11: In his final three contests, he racked up 294 receiving yards and a TD catch every week, and he did this needing surgery on his hip and a hernia. But don't confuse him for elite. Those big late-season games came on short passes and long runs, something that's tough to repeat. More than most fantasy starters, Celek is a blocker first in the Philadelphia Eagles' offense. In standard-sized leagues, I think he's draftable as your backup, if you decide you need one. But don't imagine he's destined for the top five at his position. Dustin Keller finished 10th in fantasy points among TEs last season, and I put him 12th in my ranks, but my ESPN brethren are lower on him, putting him 15th in our group ranks. Listen, I know the New York Jets have a mess looming at quarterback, and I know that as a result there will be weeks in which Keller's stats look emaciated. But if I'm a prospective Keller owner in a deeper league, I'm heartened by the Jets' lack of WR depth. Keller has led all his teammates, regardless of position, in receiving targets in back-to-back seasons, and I can see that happening again in '12.
Falling Down
After back-to-back injury-ruined seasons, at least Owen Daniels stayed mostly healthy in '11 (he did break his right hand in the playoffs). Unfortunately, his production didn't recover. He finished 16th among fantasy TEs, averaging 3.6 catches and 45.1 receiving yards per game. Even in his prime, when the Houston Texans were a pass-oriented team, Daniels never scored more than five TDs in a season, and now this is Arian Foster's squad. Don't be fooled by name recognition. Greg Olsen should've been a bigger part of the Cam Newton breakout last season, but he was one spot worse than Daniels among fantasy TEs. True, all Carolina Panthers pass-catchers are somewhat hindered by Newton's accuracy issues (Olsen caught only 45 of his 90 targets), but whereas Steve Smith was able to overcome and become fantasy-relevant again, the Panthers gave 63 targets to a cooked Jeremy Shockey. It's possible Gary Barnidge eats into Olsen's looks this year. The Indianapolis Colts had little interest in bringing back Dallas Clark, who has played in only 17 of a possible 32 games over the past two seasons, so the Tampa Bay Buccaneers swooped in and threw $1 million guaranteed to see if Clark has anything left. I'm guessing he doesn't. Even before his injury last season, Clark looked disinterested as a blocker and plagued by drops. Even if he recaptures his faded glory catching passes from Josh Freeman, you'll likely be able to pick him up off the waiver wire early in the season in shallow leagues. Marcedes Lewis was a massive disappointment in '11. It wasn't so much that he didn't repeat his 10 TDs on just 58 receptions from '10; it was that he regressed to only 39 total grabs. What the heck? A guy many folks were calling the best all-around TE in the NFL was reduced to a fantasy punching bag in a season in which the new QB (Blaine Gabbert) could've used all the short-passing help he could get. Instead, the Jacksonville Jaguars kept Lewis' target total consistent (88 in '10, 85 in '11), and given Gabbert's struggles that wasn't enough. Nothing to see here. The Bucs decided to make an example out of Kellen Winslow by shipping him off to the Seattle Seahawks rather than listen to him complain about new coach Greg Schiano's disciplinarian approach. Now K2 is on the same depth chart as Zach Miller, on a team that threw just 81 passes at their tight ends last season. (Winslow had 121 by himself in 2011.) Considering he's eclipsed 100 yards receiving in a game once in his past 39 starts and has never scored more than five TDs in a season, even when he was the main TE on his squad, Winslow looks like a terrible fantasy bet this year.
Opportunity Knocks
Fred Davis was on his way to a 1,000-yard season with the likes of Rex Grossman and John Beck throwing it to him, when he was suspended for the final four games of '11 for violating the NFL's drug policy. Chris Cooley is also still around (for now) with the Washington Redskins, but Davis is the clear starter and Robert Griffin III brings new hope to everyone on the Skins' offense. There's every reason to expect the passing game to become more dynamic (if perhaps also more inconsistent) under Griffin's leadership, and if Davis builds on his '11 work, he could become a key weapon. Jared Cook made the "opportunity knocks" portion of this column last year, but the knocking was ultra-quiet for most of the season. However, Cook had 21 catches for 335 yards in the final three games of '11 and may finally have earned the Tennessee Titans' trust. Entering his fourth season, the massive, gifted Cook looks like a great bet to easily eclipse the 82 targets he saw last season. The last time Jacob Tamme had Peyton Manning throwing it to him things went well. When the duo played for the Indianapolis Colts back in '10, Tamme produced fantasy starter-worthy numbers as Clark's understudy. Now they toil for the Denver Broncos, and Tamme looks like the unquestioned starter, with only Joel Dreessen and possibly second-year pro Julius Thomas standing in his way. That could work out great for Tamme, though his fortunes will certainly rise and fall with Peyton's health. The New York Giants signed Martellus Bennett this winter, and he figures to get a shot at being the team's No. 1 TE with Travis Beckum rehabbing from a torn ACL. Still only 25, Bennett teased the Cowboys for four seasons, but despite his size and speed his pro career has mostly been a series of mental mistakes and ill-timed drops. But if he puts things together in Gotham, he could easily be a fantasy starter catching passes from Eli Manning, who likes to hit his TEs down the field.
Rookie Crop
Looking ahead to the '12 season, there appears to be one rookie TE worth mentioning for redraft leagues: Coby Fleener of the Colts. Fleener is 6-foot-6, 247 pounds and had 17 TD grabs in his final two years at Stanford, while averaging 17.9 yards per reception. Plus, he'll be catching passes from his collegiate teammate, Andrew Luck. The question for this year is how quickly the Luck/Fleener combo can get comfortable playing for what looks like a pretty bad team. Dwayne Allen was most analysts' No. 2 TE in this April's draft, but his fantasy value was crushed when the Colts drafted him after they took Fleener. Down the road, Indy may envision a Gronkowski/Hernandez style TE duo, but this year Allen doesn't figure to make much of a splash. Michael Egnew went to the Miami Dolphins in the third round of April's draft, and the incumbent in South Beach, Anthony Fasano, isn't exactly a fearsome impediment. But Egnew comes from Missouri's spread offense, which has failed to produce successful NFL tight ends for several seasons. So while he has the size and athleticism to be interesting, in this offense I'm not expecting much in '12. Ladarius Green (Chargers) and Adrien Robinson (Giants) fit the mold of freaky, basketball-style athletes who could be very important fantasy assets in future seasons, but they're both raw and likely need a year or two of seasoning.
Unsettled Situations
When the Minnesota Vikings didn't re-sign Visanthe Shiancoe, it looked like Kyle Rudolph had a chance to be a nice fantasy sleeper. At 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds, Rudolph looks the part, and he had a terrific pass-catching career at Notre Dame. Curiously, though, the Vikes went out this winter and signed fellow Golden Domer John Carlson for $9.1 million guaranteed, throwing the position into disarray. Again, Minny may be looking to create a Patriots-style tandem, but I certainly don't trust Christian Ponder to play the Tom Brady role. It's hard to imagine either Vikings TE will emerge as a fantasy asset in standard-sized leagues. The Baltimore Ravens have a similar issue: Two nice young TEs (each of whom was drafted in '10, the same year Gronkowski and Hernandez came out) who may cannibalize one another. Ed Dickson was the starter for most of '11, but Dennis Pitta began to emerge late in the season, and in the playoffs he was the guy Joe Flacco found down the field, while Dickson's few targets were of the screen variety. It's tough to see these guys "pulling a Gronk."
The entire notion of "sleeper tight ends" is pretty goofy, because it's rarely advisable to carry more than one TE on your fantasy roster at a given time (although you can use a TE as a flex in ESPN leagues), so in standard-sized leagues everyone can own one of the top 10 TEs and feel pretty happy about it. But if you're in a deeper league and you wait until very late in your draft to take a tight end, Jermaine Gresham of the Cincinnati Bengals could be interesting. I have no quarrel with Gresham's skills; he's as athletic as they come. But the Bengals simply haven't chosen to use him as a downfield weapon much. If that changes, we could see Gresham launch into the quasi-elites at the position. But I'm not holding my breath. If you're looking for deeper fliers, perhaps you could take a look at Tony Moeaki, who finished among the top 20 fantasy TEs in his rookie season of '10. Unfortunately, Moeaki lost all of '11 to a torn ACL, and the Kansas City Chiefs added Kevin Boss to their roster this winter. In an ideal world, Boss would focus on blocking while Moeaki would become a pass-catching specialist, but I do wonder if Matt Cassel is a good enough QB to support one fantasy TE, let alone two. Here's a ridiculously deep sleeper, only because I feel I need to add another name: Luke Stocker. As you can tell from my write-up of Clark above, I'm not sanguine about Clark's chances for resurgence in Tampa, and with Winslow gone, Stocker is the other name in play at the position. He's a huge kid with good ball skills, and I think we can write off his 12 catches in 14 games last season to playing behind a veteran still close to his prime. Clark isn't that. If Clark completely stumbles (as he did for much of '11), Stocker might become a deep-league asset.
Draft Strategy
If Gronkowski is destined to score 18 TDs again, he's worth a first-round draft pick. Otherwise, he's not. However, the yardage that Gronk and Graham accumulated in '11 seems substantially more repeatable; they finished sixth and seventh, respectively, in receiving yards among all positions. In Graham's case, that's a result of being one of the scariest downfield threats the position has ever seen. In Gronkowski's case, it's a result of being ridiculously tough to tackle after the catch. Put that kind of yardage together with the potential for low-double-digit TDs, and I can see the argument for taking either guy late in the second round of your standard-sized fantasy draft, or early in the third. And believe me, this is coming from a guy who never thought he'd believe a TE could reasonably be taken so high. I have to admit, I have an aversion to drafting a player at the utter peak of his value, which is why I'm quite sure I won't own either Gronkowski or Graham in any redraft leagues this year. But I don't begrudge the fantasy owner who does.
If you don't take the top two guys, I wouldn't think about taking a tight end until, say, the seventh round of a 10-team draft. Yes, the TE is seeing a renaissance. There are a dozen unbelievable athletes at this position, guys who can win you fantasy weeks. In addition, the best TEs were more reliable than ever in '11. Whereas two seasons ago, the top 10 TEs scored three fantasy points or fewer in 34 percent of their games, last year the 10 TEs who finished with the highest fantasy point totals were held to three or fewer points 27 percent of the time. And whereas in '10 those same 10 TEs scored double-digit fantasy points 32 percent of the time, in '11 they did it 41 percent of the time.
But outside of Gronk and Graham, these guys didn't do enough to distinguish themselves from one another. They were bunched. And that means there shouldn't be a substantial difference between owning the No. 3 TE this year and the No. 8 TE. And that means you can afford to wait.
Auction Strategy
In leagues that use $200 budgets, you'll pay $25-ish for Gronkowski and Graham, and between $15 and $20 for the other top-end tight ends. Again, I have no quarrel with those who want to pay a premium for those two super-elite guys, though I don't think I'll wind up doing it. And if you do avoid those top two TEs, there's no reason to spend at the high end of the next tier. Let Finley and Davis and Gates swallow down some higher auction figures, then sneak in and grab Witten for $5 or less. In an auction, timing can be crucial, and if you can find a moment at which the market for TEs grows soft (usually later in the proceedings), you might be able to sneak a tier-two guy at some savings to your bottom line. And finally, remember, don't bother buying a backup tight end in your 10-team auction.

Anthony LaPaglia
|Search for comments on this interview
If Anthony LaPaglia had stayed in Australia, he could have been a contender. Sadly, he took himself overseas and missed that opportunity. Now all he's got to show for himself is a Tony, two Emmys, a Golden Globe and a hit series in 'Without a Trace', not to mention his starring role in the fabulous Australian film 'Lantana'.
ANDREW DENTON: Anthony, is it true that as a young man growing up in Adelaide you for a while spoke in a Scottish accent to cover your Italian roots?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Oh, no. That's amazing how stories - it's like Chinese whispers. What happened was I played a lot of soccer when I was young, and there was this young Scottish soccer player who came up to me and he went, "Did I meet you on a bus going to a Glasgow Rangers game?" And I went, "Yeah." Just to have some fun. And then I started, you know, like doing my worst Scottish accent ever, and he totally bought it. He said, "I think I was going to have a fight with you cause you're a Rangers fan and I'm a Celtic fan." We ended up playing together in the same team. He thought I was Scottish because of that one interaction. So for two years this guy thought I was Scottish.
ANDREW DENTON: Didn't he ever wonder where the Mc-LAPAGLIA clan came from, which part of Scotland?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: No, it never crossed his mind. He was very open-minded that way.
ANDREW DENTON: He must have been. Was it cool growing up Italian when you were a kid?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: No. You were such a second-class citizen if you had Mediterranean descent. Even the teachers in school, I found, used to pronounce all our names wrong, no matter what. So I was always "LAPAGLIA, LAPAGLIA..." And then I had this one Italian teacher, I still remember him, Mr Ludovici, and he came up to me one day and he said, "You're name is LAPAGLIA, and every time somebody says it wrong you have to correct them." I really took that to heart, and I started correcting everyone, including my teachers. It didn't go down real well.
ANDREW DENTON: I'll bet it didn't.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: And also my father came to Australia as an 18-year-old immigrant. He was a mechanic. He worked his tail off, didn't speak English. I watched him over the years suffer at the hands of a prejudice in a way. That's all gone now. It was one of the reasons I left Adelaide and ultimately left Australia - because I felt there was some kind of limitation put on me. I was the son of an immigrant mechanic. Therefore, the expectations for me were not that high. I felt like I wanted a bigger playing field than that.
ANDREW DENTON: You mentioned before football, which is your thing. How deep does it get into your soul?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: I'm like a complete drug addict when it comes to football, soccer, if you want to call it that, but it's football. I've been playing it since I was nine and I just cannot get it out of my system.
ANDREW DENTON: What's the joy?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: It's democratic. That's what I love about it. It doesn't matter how smart you are, how dumb you are, how much money you have, how poor you are, where you come from - it's about you and this round ball. Once that round ball goes out into the middle of a beautiful green field, everybody is on the same level. You can play or you can't. You perform or you don't.
ANDREW DENTON: You played first grade for Adelaide and West Adelaide.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Yeah, I played at Adelaide City and West Adelaide when the first national league started.
ANDREW DENTON: You gave it away in your 20s. Why didn't you go on with it?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: It was a combination of things. I wasn't as good as I would have liked to have been.
ANDREW DENTON: Can you ever be as good as you would like to be?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: I could have been better than I was, I think. I showed a lot of promise, you know, at 15, 16, 17. Got picked to play for South Australia in representative teams. Came to Sydney, played in those big state tournaments, and made the under-18 Schoolboys, you know, Select Team. So it looked really, you know, promising. But I was only like 17 or 18, and I didn't have the mental - as a goalkeeper there's like a tonne of responsibility. If you let a goal in and it's bad, you know, you basically feel responsible. I used to feel responsible for all 10 guys out there. I would also have these lapses of concentration. In training I was, like, incredible. But I'd be playing a game and, if I didn't have much to do, about three-quarters through the game I'd be thinking, "That girl's really cute that I met, like last week. I wonder where... if I could find her..." You know, I would just start, my mind ... And then the next thing you know it's, whoosh, there was a goal.
ANDREW DENTON: So you were a goalie trying to score - that was your problem.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Exactly right.
ANDREW DENTON: Never going to work.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: I also happened to come into the game at a time when South Australia was producing remarkable goalkeepers. And I just happened to be around at a time when they were better than me.
ANDREW DENTON: And there were attractive girls. What can you do?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Yeah, there was that.
ANDREW DENTON: You didn't really get into acting until you your mid-20s. You did community theatre, applied for NIDA, they said no. Rather than hanging around waiting for a second shot, you sold up everything and moved to New York, which is a big thing to do when you've only got 400 bucks in your pocket and you lived tough. What is 'sidewalk shopping'?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Sidewalk shopping. That's how I furnished my first apartments for the first five years of my life in New York. I left in December, which was summer here. I was so naive, I had no idea. I flew into New York and it was the day after a huge snowstorm had hit New York. There were mountains of snow. I'd never seen snow. I was so freezing cold when I got there, and didn't know anyone, and just basically, you know, muddled my way through New York.
ANDREW DENTON: It wasn't a short muddle either.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: It was long.
ANDREW DENTON: You worked pretty crappy jobs for almost a decade.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Almost, yeah.
ANDREW DENTON: As you were making your way up the acting tree, was your Australian accent helpful? Did it open doors for you?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: No, it was a huge hindrance.
ANDREW DENTON: Really?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Yeah, 20 years ago, they didn't want to know - well, they did want to know if you were from Australia but for the worst reasons. When I got there, the only Australian, I think, that was well-known was Mel Gibson. That was from, you know, Mad Max. The other Australian that was incredibly famous, more than Mel, was Paul Hogan. It was because of that Australian Tourist Commission commercial...
ANDREW DENTON: "Throw another shrimp on the barbie."
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: "Put another shrimp on the barbie", which became the bane of my existence. Every time I went for an audition, they'd say, "So where you from?" I'd go "Australia". And they'd go, "Oh, my God, we love that Paul Hogan guy. He's incredible. He's so funny. Put another shrimp on the barbie. G'day, mate." They'd do all this, you know, and it would go on for like 20 minutes. I'd be sitting there. As an actor, you're all pumped up to do the audition, and you're ready to go and there's 20 minutes of, "Put another shrimp on the barbie, Paul Hogan..." Then they'd say, "So how's your American accent?" They'd say, "Okay, go ahead, read." So I'd read the part, and they'd go, "I can hear your Australian accent." And I used to think, "Oh, bullshit. You cannot. It's just because I was speaking with an Australian accent and you were talking about Paul Hogan, and now it's in your ear and you think you can hear it."
ANDREW DENTON: So you dropped the accent eventually?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Well, what happened was, I just got fed up. So one day I went to an audition, after going through, like, eight or nine of these, "Put a shrimp on the barbie"... I went in and I was just fed up and somebody said, "Where you from?" And I went, "Brooklyn." They went, "Great, let's read". That was it. There was no 20-minute discussion about shrimps or barbecues or Paul Hogan or anything. I got to just be an actor. So from that point on I lied.
ANDREW DENTON: Wouldn't it have been great if at the end of that audition they said, "We love you but we're looking for an Australian."
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: You know, it's really funny. I actually did not get - a couple of Australian parts came up in films and I would be submitted, and those people would say, "He's from Brooklyn. We don't want to see him. He's an Italian American guy from Brooklyn." And I would miss out on those parts.
ANDREW DENTON: You taught yourself Brooklynese, I don't know if that's the correct term.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: It is.
ANDREW DENTON: By listening to Al Pacino - is that right?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Dog Day Afternoon...
ANDREW DENTON: A great film.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Was a great film that I was heavily addicted to. I decided that the best way for me would be to, you know, when in Rome, integrate. Just start speaking like an American. And at first the people that knew me, especially in Australia, my Australian friends were like, "God, you sound like a septic tank. You sound awful. Why do you have that accent?" I still get that now.
ANDREW DENTON: I love the fact that when you do an Australian accent you shut your mouth.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: That's how Australians talk - they don't move their mouth. I love it. I left not being so thrilled, but I've become - because of being married to Gia, she really brought me back into Australia and a different Australian culture, and I've really fallen in love with it all over again. Australians are like - there's something in the mentality. That's why I think Australians do so well in Hollywood, because they're mentally - they don't take themselves too seriously, for the most part.
I was in Myers today. I was trying to buy something. Some guy came up to me and he said, "I recognise your face." And I said, "Oh, yeah." He said, "You look fatter on TV." He said, "Are you fatter or did you lose weight?" I thought, "Well, don't ask me stuff like that." I really appreciate that kind of candour. In LA they have big Australia actor nights and celebrations of actors doing well in Hollywood and all that stuff. It's fantastic, because some Australian, inevitably at every function - I'm going to have to use you as a dummy - they come up to you and they've had too much white wine, so they have that white wine breath...
ANDREW DENTON: Yes.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: And they come up to you and they have no idea of personal space, and they're like slurring, "I really love your films. They're fantastic, unbelievable, fantastic. The best actor I've ever seen in my life." You're just like, "Back it off about five feet, that wine breath is killing me." I don't mind the invasion of the personal space, but that breath is really... Anyway, it's the lack of pretence that I love.
ANDREW DENTON: Gia, who's sitting here, we're going to get to you shortly. But I now realise that when I do talk to you, I feel like I'm going to know you intimately just from that moment of personal space then. I almost feel violated.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: That was a little too close, wasn't it?
ANDREW DENTON: No, it was absolutely fine. Let's move forward to when you won the Tony Award, the first Australian ever to do so, for A View from the Bridge. In that speech you said this was one of the greatest moments of your life. Can you recall that thrill?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: When they read my name out, everything - it was at Radio City Music Hall, which is gigantic, and it was packed to the rafters with people. They called my name out, I looked at Gia and everything went into like slow-mo. Everything just went, you know, like wow. To this day, I still can't really wrap my head around the whole thing. I always felt this incredible obligation to not only the material, but my co-star in that was a woman named Allison Janney, who's now on West Wing. She's responsible largely for me winning that Tony, because she was so amazing.
It was so intense between the two of us when we were on stage, it got to the point where we'd have these big argument scenes, they became so intense that literally the entire audience would black out for me. I wouldn't see anything. We were screaming at each other. We were this far, you know, like the Australian wine thing, from each other. Suddenly, I saw this look on her face, "Oh, my God." In the middle of screaming ? she was a little bit taller than me. She's tall. She is six foot tall. In the middle of the argument she had somehow, with her two front teeth, bitten down into the front of my nose, and blood started to come pouring out. I was so in the thing that I didn't even feel it. But I knew something horrible had happened from the look on her face. She'd started to panic. She pulled this Kleenex out and she gave it to me, and I'm still yelling at her. I'm screaming and yelling, and screaming and yelling. Then I realise, I feel, like, this wet - I say, "Oh, I've got blood." Afterwards I had to get eight stitches. Her two front teeth are very big.
ANDREW DENTON: Yeah, I know. Then you had to do this every night of the week for the rest of the year 'cause it looked great.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Yeah. I could've been very scarred.
ANDREW DENTON: Gia, welcome. What is Anthony like when he comes home after a night at the office like that, when it's been so intense?
GIA CARIDES: After that particular night - they were just full of the story and excited and, you know, it was kind of a great exciting night, about the wound of the nose. But generally, he would come home - that's an intense play and he threw himself into it completely. But he would never kind of come home tortured from it or even exhausted seeming. He would just come home like it was just another day at work. He really does show up, do the job brilliantly, come home, sit back on the couch, put the soccer on and get some ice-cream. That's the guy.
ANDREW DENTON: Anthony, recently you went on the Barbara Walters show and you referred to the fact that all Gia seems to want to talk about at home is kinky sex. Now, can we get a little bit of clarity here?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Okay.
GIA CARIDES: It's a little long. We'll try and make it short.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: I'm going to let her tell the bulk of it because she tells it much better than I do, but I want to set up the premise first. First of all, I'm terrible, I'm not great at a lot of this stuff. I'm not great at a lot of talk show stuff, and in America it's not as relaxed as this. "You've got five minutes. Tell a funny story and get out." I go to do 'The View'. I don't know if you get it out here, but it's five women talking about women's issues and stuff. I got there and there was this AD studio executive, whatever it was, bouncing around going, "Now, when you get out there, you got to really flatter the ladies." There were these signs everywhere saying - there was a sign next to make-up mirror saying, flatter the women, flirt with the women, do this, do that, do that. It was like instructions everywhere. I wasn't listening to what they were talking about before I got out there - and to Gia.
GIA CARIDES: Before he came on, the guest prior to Anthony was Marcia Cross, who's the beautiful redheaded actress from Desperate Housewives. She's a gorgeous woman, she's 42, single, beautiful. Because she's 42 and single, America has decided to say that perhaps she's gay. So she was on the show clearing her name as a heterosexual actress, who happens to be 42 and single, "Like, sorry for that, but it doesn't make me gay." So he walks out and as soon as he sits down, Joy Behar, who's the kind of fast-talking, deep-voiced, sort of tough chick, immediately as soon as he walks out says, "So, Anthony, are you a lesbian?" And Anthony replies, "No, but I'm thinking about it." And he gets a huge laugh. So that's great, you know. The innocent just comes out with this line.
Then the next question thrown at him is Barbara Walters saying, "So, Anthony, what about kinky sex?" And Anthony says, to his credit again, "I don't know Barbara, it's, er, it's eight in the morning, what did you have in mind?" Gets another huge laugh. So at this point he's gotten two huge, fantastic laughs. Then the other girl, who's like 32 and pregnant, says, "No, seriously, Anthony, is kinky sex something you can talk to your wife about?" And Anthony just comes straight out with, "Kinky sex. My wife loves talking about nothing more than kinky sex. My wife loves talking about sex. If my wife wrote a life thesis, it'd be on sex. She does nothing but talk about sex." And he's just like he had Tourette's talking about sex, talking about me and sex.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: I just lost the plot.
GIA CARIDES: Now, I'm definitely a bit of loud mouth and I'll talk about sex, but I mean, kinky sex, you know?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me as far as...
GIA CARIDES: He got lost in the whole world of kinky sex.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Were you watching this unfold?
GIA CARIDES: I wasn't watching it unfold. No, I saw the show hours later and then, of course, we went online and Australian headlines were running with it, with "Gia's Big Fat Kinky Sex Chat" as the Aussie headlines. It just made me laugh, because I'm married to a Catholic boy who lost his virginity at 20.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Nothing funky, let me tell you.
GIA CARIDES: Needless to say, there's no kinky sex. I've married a loyal, beautiful...
ANDREW DENTON: Excuse me one second. 20?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: 20. Thanks for sharing.
ANDREW DENTON: Well, seriously, you talk about the press in Australia. There was a story in one of the women's magazines a few weeks ago, God bless them, about your marriage difficulties, your marriage splitting up, which you came out about, saying this is rubbish. How do you guys deal with that kind of stuff?
GIA CARIDES: That was the first anybody had ever written anything awful about us, actually - awful and incorrect.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Second.
GIA CARIDES: Second. The first time was about me... Oh, The Enquirer.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: I laugh, some of it's hilarious, and some of it, you just have to laugh because...
GIA CARIDES: We did read that article giggling on the computer. Just ticking the box of all the mistakes in the article.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: But this is what I love, the first time I ever had somewhat negative press - I've been really lucky in Australia, actually. The press have been great to me. But as I said, I play soccer all the time and I've been in various states of disrepair physically. You know, my weight's gone up, down, whatever. About two years ago, I came out and I was playing for a local team just on Sundays to have some fun. But they didn't have dressing rooms or anything, so I would whip my shirt off and just put my goalie shirt on. Some paparazzi guy like, pffft, just took shots of the gut, right, and then they put them in...
GIA CARIDES: New Idea, I think, Woman's Day.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Or one of those. Woman's Day or one of those things.
ANDREW DENTON: They said you were pregnant?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: No, no, I was called La Pudgier. It was a really kind of mean-spirited article, right.
GIA CARIDES: Nasty.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: It was mean-spirited. I thought, "You know what? I'm going to give them a call." So I called the managing editor and I said, "Do we know each other? Did I do something to offend you or something, did I?" In actual fact I had. What had happened was Bridget had been born and they had approached us about getting a photo of her. And we made a decision that we may have made the choice to be in show-business, but our daughter has not. Therefore, we like to protect her from it. It was really interesting, because I hadn't realised the ripple effect of that. It kind of slipped out of her, she said, "Well, you know, if you'd done the photo with your baby in the first place this would never had happened." I just went, "Oh, okay, I get it. This was like a little bit of payback for not paying ball with you guys." So I said to her, "It's very mean-spirited what you've done. Now, how much would you have paid that photographer?" She said, "About 2000-3000 dollars for that photo." I'm not sure if they're telling the truth or not - 2000-3000 dollars for that photo. I said, "I tell you what, I'll make a deal with you. If you donate the same amount of money to the Starlight Foundation, I won't be mad anymore. I'll drop it." She said, "Okay", and they did. I emailed her and I said, "Thank you very much for the donation to the Starlight Foundation. Next year, I'll give you a shot of my ass if you donate 5000."
ANDREW DENTON: Is it worth that, Gia?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Oh, it's worth twice that, Andrew.
ANDREW DENTON: Five for each buttock. The thing is, though, whatever the truth of your marriage, once these rumours are out there people think that of...
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Well, my mother calls me. My mother calls me up and her sister...
GIA CARIDES: People think those magazines are gospel truth.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: My mother reads them like, you know, they're real.
GIA CARIDES: They kind of get the facts vaguely right. But the funniest one was - that I'm thrilled that he's bought into this soccer team. I've got no issue with how he spends his pocket money, you know. I couldn't care less, but they said that I was so furious with his 'cash splashes'. The wording they use is always so funny, too, that some friend said 'Gia's fuming with every cash splash'. I don't think anybody says "cash splash." A journalist does, but a human being doesn't, you know. So you can always tell that they're making it up in the room.
ANDREW DENTON: So if your marriage breaks up it's a "cash splash smash."
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Yeah, fantastic. Fantastic.
GIA CARIDES: I think they must literally sit around saying, "Who's been married seven years? Look up the files", because, you know, the seven year itch. Because I think we'd literally been married seven years when this article came out recently. But we tricked them, because we were together five years before that, so our seven year itch was years ago.
ANDREW DENTON: Anthony, Gia said a lovely thing about you before. What do you love about Gia?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Oh, pretty much everything. She's beautiful. She's really funny, makes me laugh almost every day, which is a huge thing in your relationship. She is an unbelievable mother. We have a little girl. She was built to mother and she takes such extraordinary care of that child, who we both love and worked very hard to have. I've had the unique opportunity of having to look after her for a whole day by myself, and at the end of that day realised what a saint my wife is, because it's hard work.
ANDREW DENTON: Is it true, Gia, that you're teaching Bridget to speak in an Australian accent?
GIA CARIDES: I just speak in my accent and, I mean, yeah, we're in America. But she hears me. So she says, you know, fast and past, and she's not running around saying (American accent) "fast" and "past". But the last two weeks she's developed a really broad Australian accent. A girlfriend of mine is Ally Fowler, the actress. And Bridget says "Ally Fow-ler". You know, this really strong...
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: "And I loike her. I loike her." I loike it.
ANDREW DENTON: Have you been showing her Kath and Kim tapes.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Oh, we love Kath and Kim.
GIA CARIDES: Well, I don't show her Kath and Kim, but I do say to her, "Kimmy, look at me, Kimmy." I can't help it, so I say that to her...
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Gia's actually fiercely Australian.
GIA CARIDES: Anthony teaches her James Cagney 1940s black-and-white gangster dialogue.
ANDREW DENTON: So what's she saying?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: I taught her how to say, "Back off you dirty screw. You'll never put me back in the can."
GIA CARIDES: I had her at toddler group one day in LA, and it's a great toddler group. It's very forward-thinking and very down-to-earth and it's in a really beautiful leafy little gully. It sort of reminds me of Australia. One of the lovely mothers was standing there and Bridget just looked up at her and said, "Back off, you dirty screw." I had to kind of say to the mother, "Well, Daddy loves his 1940s gangster films, you see."
ANDREW DENTON: You mentioned the 'splash cash' earlier, and you've actually been quite outspoken about the salaries paid to stars.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Yes.
ANDREW DENTON: You know, you think a 25 million dollar salary is wrong for Hollywood stars. Have you ever considered...
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: The actual thing that I say is this: The advent of the 25 million dollar actor has kind of ruined movies, has actually ruined movies. Because what's happened is this, two things. It's affected the quality of scripts. It's also affected the quality of basically the character actor. Now, I don't begrudge anybody getting paid 25 million dollars. That's fine, if that's what you're worth, and that's what the studio wants to pay you, that's fantastic for you. However, what's happened is that the studios then say, "We spent all the money on that guy or that girl and we can only pay you scale."
In the old days, if you look at the movies from the '70s, for example, even the supporting characters had an arc. They started somewhere, they went somewhere, and they finished somewhere. Now you see a character come into a film, have his two little seconds and then they're gone. There's no explanation of where they went, what happened to them, nothing. I know what happened to them - There's no money for them to do anything. It went all on the other person.
ANDREW DENTON: If you were to be offered 25 million dollars to do a film?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Listen, I'm a working-class boy from Adelaide. If someone offered me 25 million bucks, my teeth would fall out. I'd have to think, yes, of course, I want to do it. But I'm also connected enough still to the real world to think this thought - I want the best actors around me because they're going to make me look even better, and to get the best actors around me, you got to pay them more. Therefore, I'll take a chance on the film and I'll take less money, but give me a piece of the back end of the film. If it succeeds, I succeed. If it fails, it's my fault too.
If you're lucky to be born with the gift of acting, with the gift to be able to act and communicate, that's a gift. As you become more successful, it's incumbent upon you to exhibit largesse as a person. You have a lot of power. You make a lot of money for really doing bugger-all, to be honest with you. Acting's not rocket science. It's not. I've never found it difficult. I found some things difficult to do, but it's a joy for me to do it.
ANDREW DENTON: Have you ever discussed this with Russell Crowe?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: No. I haven't.
ANDREW DENTON: I would love to hear the conversation between you about this.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: You know, I've met Russell on a number of occasions in the past, and I don't know what his feelings would be about that.
ANDREW DENTON: Yes, you do.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Well, I wouldn't venture to... I wouldn't venture to comment on them, you know. Different philosophies. Listen, you know the truth is that Russell is probably one of the finest actors that New Zealand's ever produced. I'm kidding. He's very much Australian. He's spent his most formative years here, and he is one of the finest actors, I think, in the world.
ANDREW DENTON: Let's take a look at a bit of your work. This is from Lantana, the Ray Lawrence film with Geoffrey Rush and Anthony LAPAGLIA.
ANDREW DENTON: You play a lot of tough guys, a lot of hard men. Is there a trick to that? Do you clench your buttocks? What's the technique?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: For 5000 dollars a buttock I do. I don't know. I think it's just because of the way I look physically, because I'm not a tough guy by any stretch of the imagination.
ANDREW DENTON: You know what it is to be angry, though. You were angry when you were younger, you said in the past, you...
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Oh, sure, listen, I have a whole well of stuff in there to tap into. You know, things change as you get older. The things that fuel you when you're young, all that anger and determination that I had when I was young, it was all about proving everybody wrong, that I would not end up in gaol and good for nothing. Then once you start to achieve some kind of success... I was in New York for 10 years without much success. Did a lot of theatre and stuff, but nothing in terms of film or TV. But I was happy because it was what I wanted to do, it was my choice and it didn't matter if I made money out of it or not. It wasn't important. In a way it's weird - as I've gotten older and more successful, some of it's become less enjoyable, because as you become more successful there's more responsibility that goes with it, and the more you start thinking about the wrong things, like money. It just starts to creep in. You have to constantly check yourself.
ANDREW DENTON: Because you've said that you may give acting away, to do what?
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Oh, to be on the board of Sydney FC. The greatest thing I've ever done in my life was to invest in this team. It makes me proud to be associated with them. To be perfectly honest, I live a little vicariously through them as well. I get very excited. When we won yesterday, I was 14.
ANDREW DENTON: I can see the light in your eyes.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Oh, it's amazing. I love it.
ANDREW DENTON: You may not be very experienced at doing this sort of television, but you're bloody good at it. Anthony LAPAGLIA, thank you very much. Thank you.
ANTHONY LAPAGLIA: Thank you.
ANDREW DENTON: Thank you.
