Young Company members Sydney Salter (who plays Dromio of Syracuse in this production) won the Larry Lott Acting award for outstanding performance in the division, her twin sister Alex Salter (playing Dromio of Ephesus) received a first place award for her Duo scene with Young Company member Lawson Mitchell.
John Maclay (Director) taught Classical Scene Study for First Stage in the summer of 2000 and has been involved in one way or another ever since. As a playwright, John is an active adaptor of literature for the stage and his works are professionally produced throughout the country from Orlando to Portland. His plays include ANATOLE with Lee Becker and James Valcq, NANCY DREW AND THE BIGGEST CASE EVER with First Stage Artistic Director Jeff Frank, GERONIMO STILTON: MOUSE IN SPACE and JUST A LITTLE CRITTER MUSICAL with Brett Ryback. In addition to GOOSEBUMPS THE MUSICAL: PHANTOM OF THE AUDITORIUM, ROBIN HOOD, co-written with Joe Foust will premiere later in First Stage's 2016-17 season. You may have also seen John act a few times at First Stage as anything from Mike Mulligan to Shrek and he will return to the stage later this season in ROBIN HOOD as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Since 2004 he has served as Associate Artistic Director and Director of the nationally renowned Young Company. John has directed or acted in over 25 Todd Wehr, First Steps and Young Company productions and has produced more than 50 shows in First Stage's high school programs.
John is a proud member of Actor's Equity Association, the union of professional actors and stage managers and a member of the Dramatist Guild. John holds degrees in theatre from Lawrence University and the University of Illinois.

The decline in deportation numbers is a result of the administration's refusal to enforce immigration law, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) argues.
"The Obama Administration's abysmal immigration enforcement record for the past year confirms what we already know: it refuses to use the tools provided by Congress to enforce our laws," Goodlatte said in a statement. His committee has jurisdiction over immigration law.
Last week the Los Angeles Times released new Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement data, showing that just 315,943 illegal and criminal immigrants were deported last fiscal year — down 14 percent from the previous year.
Digging deeper, just 102,224 were deported from the interior of the U.S., as opposed to apprehended trying to illegally enter the U.S., a 23 percent decline from last year and less than half the number deported in 2011.
"President Obama claims that he needs to set priorities for the enforcement of our immigration laws because he has limited resources, but he isn't fully using the resources given to him by Congress," Goodlatte says. "This year's removal numbers impugn the President's excuses for not enforcing our immigration laws and expose the Administration's true motive in setting enforcement 'priorities.'"
Goodlatte further noted that the raw deportation figures were also inflated due to the manner in which the administration has chosen to calculate deportations in recent years.
"Additionally, for the past several years the Obama Administration has padded its already meager year-end removal numbers by including recent border crossers," Goodlatte said. "This year is no different. Collectively, the President's refusal to enforce our laws makes our communities less safe and undermines the American people's trust in his ability to preserve the integrity of our immigration system."
The new numbers come mere weeks after President Obama announced his executive actions on immigration — which included further limitations on immigration enforcement and granting legal status and work permits to nearly 5 million illegal immigrants.

|I have never been able to get any bulbs to grow. I am in Miami-zone 10.Help?
|Nearly all hardy, spring-flowering bulbs require a period of "chilling" or cold dormancy before they will begin to grow and bloom. For gardeners in most regions of North America, providing this cold treatment is easy. Simply planting the bulbs in the fall and leaving them alone over the winter provides plenty of cold treatment. Just make sure to select bulbs that are hardy in your growing zone.
However, people who live in very mild winter regions such as yours must select their bulbs very carefully. Daffodils should be planted in December or January (the coldest time of the year), but other hardy bulbs, such as tulips, crocuses, and hyacinths, may require special treatment in mild-winter areas. Gardeners in these regions of the country should select from among the many varieties that are rated best in warm spring and summer conditions.
Many tulips will grow well as annuals in the South if the bulbs are prechilled. Other good bulbs for warm climates include crocuses, hyacinths, lilies, muscari (grape hyacinth), colchicum (autumn crocus), and alliums (ornamental onions).
The easiest way to prechill bulbs is to store them in the refrigerator, where temperatures can be easily maintained at 40 to 45 degrees F. Store them in breathable mesh bags, like the ones they are often sold in at garden centers. Then, when they have chilled for the requisite number of weeks, simply remove the bulbs from the refrigerator and plant them either outdoors in the ground or in containers.
If you have enough space in the refrigerator, you can even plant bulbs right in their containers and remove the whole pot at the end of the chilling period. Either way, place containers of bulbs that you're forcing into a warm, sunny spot and then sit back and wait for the bulbs to send up their green leaves. After their blooming period is over, you can continue to water the pots, letting the foliage die down naturally, then replant the whole mass of bulbs in the outdoor garden.
The most popular bulb for winter forcing is undoubtedly the paperwhite narcissus, which requires no period of prechilling before it will blossom. However, you can also add variety and color to your winter or early spring displays by prechilling many other types of bulbs, then forcing them in containers for indoor bloom.
It's common for florists to sell containers of forced bulbs that are all of one type, such as dark purple or pink tulips. This makes a smashing display, but you can also be creative by forcing several kinds of bulbs of different colors or even different species to make a mixed display.
Unless you're using a large container or you have a good eye for natural design, it's best to experiment with only a couple of types of bulbs in each pot. Plant bulbs that grow to roughly the same height and whose flowers will complement each other in form and color (pink alliums and white Dutch crocuses, for instance).
Pots sold for forcing bulbs tend to have no holes in the bottom, because many people grow paperwhite narcissus in a medium of small stones instead of soil, and so drainage is not an issue. It is possible to grow other bulbs this way as well, but keep in mind that you probably won't be able to replant them outdoors after they have blossomed unless you grow them in soil. When forcing bulbs in potting soil, make sure the container has drainage holes in its bottom and that you place a dish underneath it to catch the excess water, as with any other houseplant.
Although tulips are technically considered perennials, many gardeners find that their bulbs are relatively short-lived and begin to decline over two or three years, producing smaller flowers and eventually dying out altogether. Unless your climate and growing conditions are ideal (hot, dry summers, cold winters, and well-drained soil), it can be difficult to coax some varieties of tulips into making a long-term commitment to your garden.
However, there are other types that, when given a little special care, will flower repeatedly and actually increase in size and beauty. These varieties are commonly known as "perennial tulips." One note: When buying Darwin hybrids, keep in mind that the ones with deep color will naturalize better than those with pastel colors.
To create the best conditions for perennial tulips, top-dress the planting bed with well-rotted cow manure, or add a slow-release fertilizer in the fall (9-9-6 or lower profile). After the flowers have finished blooming in the spring, deadhead the spent blossoms and allow the foliage to mature and wither naturally, so the bulbs can gather energy for next year's bloom.
Lilies are no more difficult to grow than other hardy bulbs, so long as you keep in mind a few of their important differences.
Plant lilies as soon as you get them, either in the fall or the spring. Because the bulbs lack the papery covering (known as a "tunic") that is common to other hardy bulbs, they can dry out quickly in storage.
Even more than other bulbs, lilies demand well drained soil. Dig the spot where you plan to plant lilies to a depth of at least 12 inches, remove rocks and add organic matter such as leaf mold or peat moss to improve both the soil's structure and drainage. Like other bulbs, lilies appreciate a little bone meal scratched in at the bottom of the planting hole, but do not really require other fertilizers at planting time. Instead, wait until the bulbs send up green leaves and then sprinkle a complete organic fertilizer around the plant and water it in.
Spread an organic mulch around lilies to help keep the soil moist and cool; use compost, well-rotted manure, or a longer-lasting mulch, such as wood chips or cocoa shells. As with other perennials, cover the bed over the winter with straw and/or evergreen boughs to help protect the bulbs from alternate freeze/thaw cycles.
During the flowering season, remove spent blooms, but try not to cut off more than a third of the stem, which can reduce the plant's vigor and longevity. This can be difficult to follow if you're cutting stems for indoor arrangements. So consider growing some lilies in perennial beds or borders, and others in a designated cutting garden.
Growing Tender Bulbs
Tender bulbs tend to belong to the summer-flowering group and include such popular garden specimens as dahlia, gladiolus, tuberous begonia, canna and calla lily (Zantedeschia).
Technically, these are not "true bulbs," because they don't contain a tiny flower and stalk inside of them. Instead, the plants grow from bulblike structures known as corms (gladiolus), tubers (dahlia, caladium), and rhizomes (canna). However, they are just as dependable as true bulbs and can be grown in much the same way.
These exotic summer-blooming bulbs can be integrated into the perennial garden, but because they are so popular for arrangements, they're often planted right in the vegetable garden or in a special cutting garden. Plant tender bulbs about the same time as beans and other crops, after the last frost date in spring. Then, around the first fall frosts, when the garden's tender crops are winding down, dig up the bulbs and store them away for the winter.
These tender bulbs vary in hardiness, and it's impossible to give general growing instructions for all of them; different plants have distinct preferences about light, and soil structure and fertility.
Gardeners living in Zone 8 or warmer regions can successfully overwinter cannas, callas and other types. However, by far the most popular way to grow these exotic tropical and subtropical natives is to dig up the plants around the time of the first fall frosts, allow the bulbs to dry for a short period, and then store them either in paper or mesh bags or placed in a shallow pan or box and covered with dry peat moss. Ideal storage conditions are dry, dark, and cool, around 40 to 50 degrees F.

Rosie O'Donnell accused officials of timing the grand jury announcement in Ferguson, MO to incite riots on Tuesday's broadcast of ABC's "The View."
O'Donnell started the discussion by describing the grand jury's decision "horrifying" and "overwhelming," while Nicole Wallace praised the "constructive" efforts of Brown's parents, including their speech before the UN and praised Obama's speech as "beautiful" and "extraordinary leadership."
Rosie Perez pointed to the lack of violence among organized protests around the courthouse and said "the media really didn't give that crowd credit"
O'Donnell then declared "why do you think they waited to announce it till 9 o'clock at night. I think that was like a calculated decision in order to incite people." "takes everyone off of what actually happened to an 18-year-old boy in the street and puts it onto, 'look at those horrible people rioting.' And I think the anger of the people rioting, that's righteous indignation and rage. And I understand it. And although it's not necessarily productive for the cause, it is very understandable as a human being why one might react in the way so many did."
Perez, while not dismissing the theory completely, pointed the Rodney King verdict was announced during the day and Los Angeles was swept by massive riots.
Whoopi Goldberg then argued that whoever decided to announce the decision at night was an "idiot" but that it wasn't calculated, and accused them of passing the buck onto the Justice Department. She also criticized first responders in Ferguson for not doing more to stop the looting.
O'Donnell then cut in to complain "they didn't show a loop of him [Michael Brown] laying in the street for five hours and being taken away in an SUV, not an ambulance or an EMT for four and a half hours, that child, dead laid in the middle of the street they should show that on a tape for four hours."
Goldberg then criticized the riots that occurred after the announcement, stating "you only hurt each other." O'Donnell then called for protests like those in Selma during the Civil Rights Era, and then complained that protesters in other countries were praised while the events in Ferguson were described as riots. Perez objected, pointing out that the recent protests in Hong Kong that received media coverage were extremely peaceful.

Product DetailsThis big, boisterous adventure is more inspired by than based on Rudyard Kipling's famous poem. Legendary screenwriters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur have fashioned a rousing Hollywood movie full of high adventure, knockabout comedy, and old-fashioned male bonding. And old-fashioned it is: the trio of British officers and best friends who form the core of the film are a 19th-century three musketeers in India, threatened by the interventions of a woman who means to marry the dashing Ballantine (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.). Blustery commander MacChesney (Victor McLaglen) schemes to keep Ballantine in the army while his second in command, the treasure-hunting Cutter (Cary Grant in a hopelessly mugging comic performance), continues searching for his elusive mother lode, but all their plans are thrown into chaos when the rise of the bloodthirsty Thugs threaten Britannia's soldiers. Sam Jaffe takes up the rear guard in turban, loin, and full-body make-up as the titular Gunga Din, the loyal water carrier who dreams of becoming a soldier. Bombastically chauvinist and naively imperialist, the film is bound to rub some people wrong, but Stevens creates a thrilling spectacle in the grand Hollywood mold, a handsome, exciting classic comic adventure that helped make 1939 Hollywood's grandest year.

Time to assemble the lining on the Hedgerow Book Bag!
Line up a top facing piece (C) with the top edge of one body lining piece (C), right sides together. Pin or clip, then stitch. It is always best to sew with the waxed canvas on top, as it will prevent the lining from stretching as you sew. Press or crease the seam allowance up, toward the the top facing.
From the right side, topstitch along the seam on the top facing, about 1/8" from the seam. Repeat for the other lining piece.
Now we will insert the magnetic snap on the facing. Here is a helpful video demonstrating this step:
Mark the snap placement by using the metal backing piece as a guide. Center the backing piece in the middle of the facing, with the top of the snap 1 1/4" down from the top edge of the facing.
Apply interfacing on the wrong side of top facing (C) behind the snap marking. If using waxed canvas, which should not be ironed, apply interfacing with a small dab of glue.
Using a sharp pair of embroidery scissors or a seam ripper, carefully make a tiny slit along each marking. From the right side of the top facing, insert snap prongs into the slits.
On the wrong side of the top facing, insert backing piece. Press the prongs of the snap toward each other and flatten. Use pliers if necessary. Repeat snap placement on the other side. You may choose to glue a little bit of interfacing on top of the snap back as well, to protect your outer fabric from wear and tear caused by the snap prongs.
Time to assemble the rest of the lining! The process for assembling the lining is nearly the same as for the outer bag.
Pin the lining body pieces (D) right sides together, with the edges of the top facings (C) aligned and pin or clip. Sew the side seams and press open.
Sew the bottom seam with a 5/8" seam allowance, leaving an 6" gap in the middle of the seam. Backstitch at the start and end of this gap. Press seam allowance open.
Follow the instructions to create boxed corners on the lining of the bag, with one difference: when stitching across the corner, use a 5/8" seam allowance. Using a slightly larger seam allowance will help the lining fit nicely into the outer bag.
Our outer bag is done and our lining is done- now we just have to put them together! Join us tomorrow to finish up our Hedgerow!

Gingrich: Providers able to fix workforce problems themselves
James M. Berklan
Newt Gingrich has a message for long-term care providers: Don't wait for the government to fix your staffing challenges. Predictable cynicism? Not really. He also claims some relatively easy solutions are at your fingertips.
Whether you're Republican, Democrat or independent, you might do well to listen to the former House Speaker.
He has praise for the long-term care staff at his late mother's former nursing facility in Harrisburg, PA. He watched. He knows.
Perhaps more significantly, he formerly co-chaired the National Commission for Long-Term Care and a few related efforts. Not enough of that came out during Gingrich's "debate" with ideological counterpart Larry Summers at the annual meeting of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care on Wednesday. Not that he didn't try. But Gingrich was only a panelist, not the moderator. Maybe next time.
What the conservative firebrand did offer in a mellowed performance, however, was worth the price of admission. Rather than holding your breath for relief coming from the federal government on immigration affairs, Gingrich advised taking care of the home fires instead. Besides, there's little sense waiting for a piece of an immigrant green card pie that might not ever get baked under the Trump administration.
Online education is the way to go, Gingrich asserted several times to the 3,000-plus attendees. Internet learning should be your salvation to recruitment, training and career ladders for long-term care workers, he said. He emphasized that long-term care is one of "very few" professions in prime position to maximize continuing education this way.
It could have a "dramatic" and "huge impact on the workforce," the former university instructor said.
Providers will get more out of taking care of in-house talent rather than trying to keep the rotating door filled with warm bodies from overseas, he said. "Bringing in immigrants is not the primary solution," he declared. Taken at face value from one of Donald Trump's biggest supporters, that might come off as xenophobic rhetoric, but it certainly wasn't delivered, nor do I think intended, that way during Wednesday's opening general session.
You could excuse long-term care staffing and professional education companies if they thought they had found a new front man.
"I cannot over-emphasize the emergence of online learning opportunities," Gingrich said, adding it could bring "fundamental" change. "It would be less expensive to have employees learn within the system. It would dramatically expand your usable workforce."
Workers might be less enthused about his other suggestions in this area. For one, he recommended keeping an eye on the Japanese, who have perhaps greater challenges taking care of their tidal wave of elderly citizens. This is so partly because they resist importing outside workers. As a result, the Japanese have turned quicker to robots and automation.
So if electronic health records can be a savior (and they can), why can't online learning?
Any steps that management can take to stem the tide of outgoing employees – which triggers high recruitment and replacement costs – should be hailed. And heeded.
Willing guest workers from other shores can help ease staffing shortages, but this is one time when taking care of employees already in the fold should take precedence. The survival of your business might depend on it.

"The longtime head of public affairs at the FBI -- who was a confidant of former director James Comey -- is planning to retire," Fox News reported.
His name is Michael Kortan. Mueller appointed him to the post in 2009. Public relations is at the core of the bureau. J. Edgar Hoover spent decades cultivating the press in a manner his successors emulated.
Jim Comey pissed it all away.
"Kortan was front and center during the Hillary Clinton email investigation, and especially in July 2016 -- coordinating media coverage and handing out copies of Comey's public statement recommending against criminal charges in the investigation into mishandling of classified information. Kortan more recently surfaced in text messages released between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page," Fox News reported.
Those texts could be used as evidence in a court case.
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is retiring soon as well.
The public is now learning of the use of the FBI to destroy evidence of Hillary's exposure of national secrets while helping to fabricate a dossier to justify spying on the Trump campaign.
This is go-to-jail stuff.
The problem is, who prosecutes these bad cops?
The Last Refuge reported: "DOJ National Security Division Official, David Laufman, Quits."
"David Laufman was the Department of Justice, National Security Division, Deputy Asst. Attorney General in charge of counterintelligence, cyber security, counterespionage and export controls."
He was part of the Protect Hillary-Spy on The Donald team.
"The FBI didn't notice that some emails from Hillary Clinton's private email server were marked classified with a '(C)' when they were sent — something that seemingly would have been one of the first and most obvious checks in an investigation, and one that FBI agents instantly recognized put the facts at odds with Clinton's public statements," the Daily Caller reported.
"The Intelligence Community Inspector General spotted it after the FBI missed it, texts between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, reveal. 'Holy cow,' Strzok wrote, 'if the FBI missed this, what else was missed?'
"'Remind me to tell you to flag for Andy [redacted] emails we (actually ICIG) found that have portion marks (C) on a couple of paras. DoJ was Very Concerned about this,' he wrote."
The spin is this was incompetence.
I choose not to believe that.
RT -- Russia Today -- reported, "FBI texts suggest Comey could have lied under oath, staffers used Gmail for official business."
Remember when Trump warned Comey on Twitter that he may have tapes of their conversations? That forced Comey when he testified in June to recant things he testified to in May.
"The list of officials frequently discussed in the texts who are no longer in their jobs seems to grow by the day. It includes former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired by Trump; former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe; Comey's chief of staff, James Rybicki; FBI General Counsel James Baker; as well as Strzok, who was booted off the special counsel investigation and sent to a job in the FBI's personnel division," Politico reported.
I hope that by this time next year, there's a list of officials on their way to prison.
From Leslie Eastman's review at Legal Insurrection:
Surber, a recovering journalist with over 30 years of experience, has been cataloging the #FakeNews that has been regularly offered as serious analysis of President Donald Trump's actions, policies, and opinions. He has brought his enormous collection together in the longest, most serious book he has yet written: Fake News Follies 2017."Fake News Follies of 2017" is available on Kindle and in paperback.
Autographed copies are available. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for details. I am including a "director's cut." I'll email you back the original Chapter 1 that I cut because while the chapter was amusing, it really had nothing to do with the "Fake News Follies of 2017."
Ben Garrison did the cover and I am so happy with it. I told him what the book was about, sent him a copy of the manuscript, and he came up with a perfect cover. I am so pleased.

Autumn Phillips: 10 questions
October 13, 2005
Answer these 10 questions to determine whether you should move to a ski town.
Suddenly, that seemed like such a profound offer. Some sucker who had just watched a Warren Miller movie was planning to pack up his or her Pathfinder for a new life in the mountains. By taking this quiz, he or she could be saved the fate suffered by so many who show up here in November with big dreams and leave town a few years later — bitter and complaining about the time they wasted.
I've been in town only four years, and already my life has been a Mardi Gras parade of goodbye parties. Almost every one of those goodbyes has involved the late-night, long conversation on the porch with the soon-to-be departed. They sigh and begin with, "I would stay, but …" followed by a tirade of complaints that usually are economic or romantic in nature.
The goal-oriented ones learn quickly that if you're climbing any kind of ladder here, there are only a few rungs. Those who have "made it" are balancing on the tops of kitchen stools guarding their positions. Instead of following the traditional career path to the grave, you have to make a lot of sacrifices to live here, or at least spend some time redefining what's important.
My mind wandered through all of this before I read the first question of the 10-question quiz. So, of course, I was disappointed.
The quiz was in the back of Ski Press Magazine, a free publication that mysteriously appeared all over town this week. I grabbed a copy at the post office along with my mail.
Recommended Stories For You
As I took the quiz, I realized it was just a test to see whether the reader had a grasp of the more obscure ski and snowboard jargon and the finer points of gondola etiquette. And because I can't just see the obvious humor in something like that, I tossed the mag aside and grumbled that this is the kind of propaganda that keeps people naively moving here "to ski."
While they are building their mental ski-town fantasy, most people forget that the ski season lasts only five months, unless you're willing to hike. Even then, the snow eventually melts and you find yourself on Lincoln Avenue in a pair of shorts and flip flops needing another reason to be here.
So that I don't have to keep saying goodbye, here's my attempt at 10 questions you should ask yourself before moving to a ski town. They're based on all the "Why I'm leaving" speeches I've sat through during the years.
1. When you dress for an evening out, what shoes do you consider appropriate?
a. Strappy heels
b. Above-the-knee leather boots
c. Birkenstocks, Tevas or muddy Merrills
2. When you think of your dream job, which of these three perks comes to mind?
a.Regular trips to Hong Kong, Paris and New York.
b. A huge computer monitor and the latest cutting-edge software.
c. Enough income so you only have to work one job.
3. If you had an extra $500 burning a hole in your pocket, you would:
a. Buy a new pair of shoes.
b. Replace the rain gutters.
c. Upgrade your bindings.
4. If you blew out both knees and could never ski again, you:
a. Say it's not a big deal. You take taxis everywhere anyway.
b. Worry about how the surgery scars would hurt your social life.
c. Suddenly become a sort of community exile with nothing to do from November to April.
5. What is the first thing you think of when I say "trailer park"?
a. Is there still such a thing?
b. I'm never more at home than when there are wheels and a hitch under the living room window.
c. Sounds like land just waiting to be developed.
6. When I say "nightlife," you think:
a. Making sure I'm on the list at all the "it" spots.
b. Hot dogs, Budweiser and season tickets.
c. I'll go anywhere they don't charge a cover at the door.
7. You decide to get a dog. You choose:
a. Something that can fit in my Louis Vuitton handbag.
b. Something furless. I hate shedding.
c. A golden retriever.
8. What's your favorite restaurant?
a. Any one of the five Indian restaurants within walking distance of my apartment.
b. I'm a regular at the oxygen bar.
c. I can't imagine eating anything but a steak or Mexican.
9. You're shopping for a new car. The most important feature is:
a. The built-in, hands-free cell phone.
b. Fake wood paneling.
c. Four-wheel drive.
10. I get my information about local politics from:
a. US Weekly
b. The New York Times
c. I ask the City Council president at the free summer concert.

Title of Bulletin Board: Volleyball Turkey
Category: Sports
Suggested Grade Level: 3-8
Materials: Turkey Bulletin board set, volleyball history facts, small turkeys
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I put up a buletin board about the Volleyball unit that we are doing. I used a turkey board set as the center of the board, surrounding the turkey are the facts about volleyball (e.g. invented in Holyoke, Mass in 1895, invented by William G. Morgan, invented at the YMCA etc.). The children like to look at the facts and the big turkey as well. This is a great way to teach the children the history of the sport that they are doing and a great way to be in the spirit of the season.

Reading Football Club have submitted ambitious plans for the redevelopment of land at the
Madejski Stadium, including an international convention centre.
Proposed plans for Royal Elm Park include the creation of a state of the art international convention centre, more than 600 homes, a new public square and a hotel on the land next to the Madejski Stadium.
An outline planning application was submitted to Reading Council in February 2016. Plans were designed by RFC Prop Co Ltd, which was formed to bring forward the development proposal, and consists of a team of consultants led by Reading Football Club chief executive Nigel Howe.
The scheme is expected to bring more than 1,000 full-time jobs to Reading.
Central to the proposal is 'The International', a convention centre designed to accommodate more than 6000 delegates and provide adaptable spaces and a publicly accessible ice rink. The 25,000sq m convention centre has been designed to act as a major catalyst for future inward investment and job creation in and around Reading. It will also be capable of hosting business meetings, conferences, exhibitions and live entertainment including music, sport, family events and comedy. A bridged walkway will connect The International to the existing Millennium Madejski Hotel and Royal Berkshire Conference Centre.
If plans are approved, around 600 new homes will be built, including studios, one and two-bedroom apartments, three-bed family homes and four-bed townhouses. Many of the properties will overlook a new, 10,000sq m public park. The developers have said that over 80% of Reading residents and businesses that responded to the pre-application public consultation were supportive of the project
Proposals also include the creation of an 8,000sq m public square with seating, cafes and restaurants, available for street-food markets, open-air exhibitions or outdoor cinema screenings. The developer said the square will be capable of hosting major events and crowds attending football matches in the nearby stadium. At night it will be illuminated by lighting patterns projected onto the square's surface.
The scheme will also feature a 246-room hotel and 102 serviced apartments with a spa and winter garden.
Plans also involve improvements to transport, with a new Transport Hub providing bus stops for local and match day buses and conference centre shuttle buses, a new multi-storey car park with space for 616 vehicles and almost 300 cycle parking spaces.
Subject to planning consent, work should start late this year, with completion of the hotel and convention centre expected for 2018 and the residential element phased over five years, until 2021.

Texas LB Malik Jefferson could leave behind a long, strange journey
HOUSTON — Just over three years ago, on Dec. 19, 2014, a universally hailed linebacker from Mesquite Poteet stood on stage in front of friends, family and a flock of media members. Armed with an enchantingly toothy grin, he positioned a black, Longhorn-emblazoned hat on top of his cascading dreadlocks. During that same ceremony, the linebacker's teammate, four-star receiver DeAndre McNeal, followed suit.
McNeal didn't last long under former UT coach Charlie Strong. He was suspended in August 2016 for violating team rules and transferred shortly after. The linebacker, however, remains.
Malik Jefferson's journey has been a strange one, particularly for a five-star recruit who arrived in Austin with astronomical expectations. He started nine games as a true freshman and earned Big 12 defensive freshman of the year honors, but UT lost seven games.
More Information
Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl
Texas vs. Missouri
When: 8 p.m. Wednesday
Where: NRG Stadium, Houston
As a sophomore, Jefferson went from defensive savior to benched midway through the program's third straight seven-loss campaign. The demotion didn't last, but most objective parties deemed his second season an abject failure.
Jefferson sequestered himself from the spotlight for months after the 2016 season. Rumors of a rift between the junior and new coach Tom Herman following a February meeting stoked questions about what his role might be within this new regime.
The coach pushed back against the notion of a fissure in their relationship.
"Malik is a fantastic leader, fantastic ambassador for our program," Herman said. "In February, we had a really good heart-to-heart about what he wanted to get out of this season. He said, 'Coach, I want to be as good as a linebacker and as good a leader and teammate as I can be.' I said, 'Great.' "
Still, Jefferson was not among the Longhorns chosen to attend Big 12 media days. And he was not selected as one of four team captains for the 2017 campaign.
None of those factors seemed to weigh on Jefferson when he broke that extended media silence in August. In fact, it seemed this was all by design.
"I didn't mind it at all," Jefferson said. "I had a long talk with my family, and we all discussed it. It's something that I needed to do to focus on myself, to look at myself, because sometimes you've got to look in the mirror to find your mistakes. Hearing the outside noise, it's kind of hard to distinguish that. But it definitely helped me."
Jefferson said "I opened my chest," and gave its contents to defensive coordinator Todd Orlando. He sounded like a convert who had discovered something profound in a new religion or philosophy. But the results vindicated Jefferson's revamped mindset.
He paced UT with 110 tackles, second most in the Big 12, and 10 tackles for loss. He tied for the team lead with four sacks and was named the conference's co-defensive player of the year. Among Big 12 teams, the Longhorns ranked second in total defense and third in scoring defense, up from seventh and eighth, respectively, last year.
Though Jefferson is as talented as any Longhorns linebacker since Derrick Johnson, there still exists a chance he could leave school without a single winning season or bowl title. Texas (6-6) will enter the Texas Bowl at NRG Stadium on Wednesday needing a victory over Missouri (7-5) to avoid a fourth consecutive losing season. That hasn't happened to UT since the 1930s.
And Jefferson, who is battling a severe turf toe injury, is doubtful to even play, according to Herman and Orlando. Given his potential as an early-round NFL draft pick, the world likely has already seen his last game in burnt orange.
But as fellow juniors DeShon Elliott, Holton Hill, Connor Williams and Michael Dickson announced their choice to turn pro, Jefferson wavered. Maybe he wants one more shot at redefining a complicated legacy. Maybe he wants to boost his draft stock. Or maybe he isn't yet ready to leave all this behind.
"It's going to be a hard decision," Jefferson said after a 27-23 loss to Texas Tech. "Looking in that locker room, I look at those guys to the left and right of me and I just smile because I love the things we've been through. It's been a tough past three years, but guys understand the love that I have for them."
