Egyptian FIFA official downplays Ghana request to play outside Egypt
An Egyptian member of the FIFA executive committee Hani Abou-Rida, an Egyptian, has downplayed Ghana's request for their World Cup playoff against Egypt to be played outside the country due to security concerns.
"This is psychological warfare against the national team and should be ignored. We should only focus on the match," Abou-Rida told the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) on Saturday.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) sent a letter to FIFA last week demanding the second leg of the World Cup playoff on 19 November be played outside Egypt due to the country's difficult security situation.
"I don't like exaggeration. The EFA has already responded firmly and FIFA don't make their decisions based on media reports. I trust the ability of the Egyptian authorities [to secure the match]," he added.
FIFA has given Egypt until 28 October to provide "comprehensive security assurances" for the playoff second-leg, which is due to take place at the army-owned Air Defence Stadium in Cairo.
Former EFA vice-president Abou-Rida also expressed confidence that American manager Bob Bradley and his squad would earn a ticket to the world's most prestigious tournament after an absence of 24 years.
"I will always support the national team and help them whenever I'm asked," Abou-Rida concluded.
Egypt, which cancelled two successive football leagues due to security troubles, has been in turmoil since the army ousted elected president Mohamed Morsi on 3 July following mass protest against his rule.
The playoff first leg will take place in Kumasi on Tuesday.

Tony says:October 13, 2013 05:56 pmGhana defence should be smart and tight and the players should be strong and they shouldn't allow them controls the ball
Factual says:October 13, 2013 06:40 pmBoss,talk with facts. Ghana didn't send just a mere letter,it was a letter based on pure facts and it was sent in the right timing-at the peak of the riot. Your security men are being attacked and killed!!! Who is going to protect us and even you on the D day??!!
Don 1 says:October 13, 2013 07:40 pmThat so called Abdou can downplay the contents of the letter but he should know he cannot downplay the security of humans especially Ghana's world-renowned players. No one ever thought egypt will ever be in this chaos but it has happened and continuing happening so Abdou shut up and do the right thing to safeguard our players instead of talking blah blah
obele says:October 13, 2013 08:14 pmMassa the game will be played in a neutral venue. We don't want to be part of your problems period.

khaled says:October 13, 2013 09:13 pmjustice says that every team plays on its land but you want to play in ghana and don't want to play in egypt this is theft you will play in egypt and egypt in brazil isa.
United States of Africa(USA) says:October 13, 2013 09:13 pmLet's deal with the game in Kumasi first before we think of where the return leg will be played? GHANA 4:0 EGYPT.
GHANSON says:October 13, 2013 09:19 pm@USA I totally agree with your scoreline... GHA 4-0 EGY \\we shall even beat them in the return leg maybe by a goal to nil just to punish them
GHANSON says:October 13, 2013 09:25 pmBlack Stars as at now are the most feared team in Africa....Not even Ivory Coast. .Reason?? Cuz our team is made up of nothing but goal poachers..We dont depend on 1 or 2 guys for goals..even defenders can score and thats why weve been able to beat ppl 7-1 on a number of occassions.. Younger players,marshalled by a couple of vets=high energy,agility,speed,accuracy,strenght...win win GO BLACK STARS! VIVA GHANA!
United States of Africa(USA) says:October 13, 2013 09:37 pmHaa haa haaaa, and Egypt wept.

Instagram may be all the rage, but it was Hipstamatic that first hit upon the idea of adding interesting, amusing or simply aesthetically pleasing filters to photos taken on mobile phones. With the popularity of Vine's six second videos, the developers are now seeking to take that idea into the motion picture sphere with Cinamatic (iOS, Hipstamatic, £1.49).
Losing the stylish interface that made their other app stand out is a shame, with the standard iOS 7 design now in place, but it functions competently, and the recording controls will be familiar to Vine users. The glitzy effects are fun to play with – Darwin's dirty old-school projector filter a particular favourite - and the results sure to enliven feeds with the app seamlessly connecting to Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Extra filters can be purchased in-app, but there isn't the diversity of Instagram's still offerings. Whether this will come, or the medium doesn't lend itself to such variety, remains to be seen – meanwhile, it's an easily affordable route to spicing up your bitesize home videos.

Intranasal UV phototherapy for the management of nasal polyposis
Search Medline for
|April 22, 2010
Introduction: Nasal polyps (NPs) are characterized by high recurrence rates despite medical andsurgical treatment. Recently, it has been shown that exposure of NPs to ultraviolet light (UV) results in induction of apoptosis of inflammatory cells. Therefore phototherapy may represent a new therapeutic approach in NPs.
Methods: A feasibility study was performed to assess the clinical efficacy and tolerability of phototherapy and to identify the clinical effective UV dose range in NPs.
A dose-titration study was conducted in 13 subjects with bilateral grade 1–3 NPs. Patients were exposed to gradually increasing doses of UV light over a 12 week period (3 exposures).Subjects rated their nasal obstruction symptom scores weekly on a visual analogue scale from 0 to 6. The NOSE quality of life questionnaire was used at baseline and end of treatment period. Adverse events were monitored by endoscopy. Ten subjects completed the study.
Results: Nasal obstruction symptom scores improved at end of treatment compared to baseline. Improvement of quality of life (NOSE) at end of treatment compared to baseline was also noted. Treatments were well tolerated and no device related adverse events were reported. In most subjects, symptom improvement was observed after a certain threshold UV dose was reached. Therefore the study was also informative about the clinically effective doses which will be tested in future studies of much shorter duration.
Conclusion: The results suggest that phototherapy may represent a potential new treatment option in NPs.

A 24-hour squash marathon organised in aid of a mum-of-two who suffered a debilitating brain aneurysm has raised an impressive £14,000.
A total of 18 players managed to keep two courts in constant use at Stamford School's sports complex in Conduit Road, from 6pm last Friday until 6pm the following day.
The event was held in honour of Petra Landeweerd, 44 – who until September 2015 lived in Carlby with husband Henk and their daughters Lara and Sofie.
In January 2016, around six months after the family had returned to their native Holland, Petra suffered a brain aneurysm. She has been undergoing treatment and rehabilitation ever since.
Event organiser Nick Cole, 41, a close friend of the Landeweerds, said of the squash marathon: "It was really hard work and I can't quite believe we got through it.
"Henk travelled over to take part, even though he has never played squash before, and we telephoned Petra during the event to her involved.
"We had set a target of £10,000, so I'm delighted we have exceeded that."
Nick, from Ufford, is a Stamford Squash Club member. The money will be used to buy an 'e-hand bike' for Petra and any other equipment she needs to aid her rehabilation.

Gridiron Battles of Saturday Promise Contests of Superior Worth When Big Teams Get Together Later On
Yale Has Ik-st Attack,
Princeton Defence Har
vard Second in Both.
Comparisons cf team play In football,
as In baseball, arc of no great value. In
that It Is possible to prove a point from
almost every angle. Vet there are some
outstanding features of .Saturday's col
legiate clashes which bring forward
prominent elevens In their proper light.
Strength of team play can be measured
fairly accurately by diagnosis of attack
and defence. Fumbles and thoughtless
generalship do not necessarily detract
from the ultimate worth of an aggrega
tion, because It Is possible to eliminate
both. Hearing these points In mind' It Is
Interesting to line up Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth. Syracuse.
Colgate, Penn State, Pittsburg. West
Point and Pennsylvania, the Institutions
seemingly favored with football talent
beyond the ordinary.
There Is little doubt that Harvard,
Talo and Princeton are more evenly
matched this season than In several years.
Harvard still la possessed of a scoring
machine of Immense possibilities, but It
has been seriously weakened defensively.
Tale probably has the best attacking
body of the three, and like Harvard has
as yet been unable to bring forward a
Una of any kind of Impregnability.
Princeton Is weak behind the line, but
has a forward wall that probably out
shines any In the Hast. Vale leads In
offence, Princeton In defence and Har
vard runs a close second In both.
Tigers Disappoint Coach.
Princeton's game against Tufts was
disappointing to Speedy Itush. His vet
eran backfleld candidates acted like de;
butantes at their coming out. Jacli
Eddy, at quarterback, was guilty of sev
eral Indecisions which counted mightily
against the team. Three times Eddy tried
the wrong play at the wrong time.
Once on the third down and only about
ten yards to go for a touchdown Eddy
called for a forward pass that was com
pleted, but with only a couple yards gain.
Tills play took the ball from In front
of the coal posts to tho far corner. Here
the only possible thing was a drop kick,
but the angle was Impossible, as was
proved when Tlbbott missed by yards.
Another time with the ball on the six
yard line and a first down Eddy tried
an Intricate double pass and the for
wards of Tufts wer on the play so hur
riedly llrown fumbled as the ball was
pasjwd to him. Tufts recovered and a
touchdown went glimmering.
With this faulty attack of the back
field Prlnctton forwards had to contend
and the way they did their work cer
tainly brings a little balm. Not In a
long time has a line been seen that
smashed to smithereens so successfully
every play tried by the opposition. Gen
nert, Nourse, Hogg and McLean were on
top of every attempt made by Tufts and
really stopped the Medford men In their
tracks. Princeton never was In serious
danger, thanks to lis exceptional line
There Is no doubt that Princeton will
bo a mighty hard outfit to beat, but not
exceptionally difficult tn stop. Its back
fleld, on the play so far, has not tho
power exhibited by Yale and Harvard
I.eamrj Is Yale Asset.
Tale seems to be' about 60 per cent.
Harry Ltgore and the rest willing as
sistants, especially on the attack. Le
gore Is a sensational running halfback,
who slides through the arms of tacklers
and Is never down until sat upon. Half
of the twelve points registered against
I.ehlgh were brought to Yale by a s.xty
yard dash that featured ltgore pound
Inr over the turf and shaking off ambi
tious opponents. Credit to the 40 per
cent of the Blue must be given In that
the Interference was exceptional for so
early In the season.
Klngham also played well for Yale.
He gave promise of being a fitting run
ning mate for the spectacular and really
high class Iyegore. Yale's great half
back appears more and more every day
aa If he Is to be tho Eddie Mahan of
this season.
While Yale displayed superefflclency
on attack there were times that the line
faltered and It was necessary for Lc
rore and Hingham to dash Into the play
to prevent damage. There was no per
alstency and no strength which would
cause any worry at Princeton or Har
vard. The Vale lino must be overhauled
ir the Plue hopes for football laurels.
Yale is Justly proud of Its record so far.
?Un I f, ?'1..nxl0,n about PrlJe and a
fall still holds good.
Ma Team Work at Harvard.
Btlll Harvard adherents are seeking
for one tangible reason why they should
rise and chorus their approval of the

but there Is reason for gloom surround

Harvard displayed no great strength
against North Carolina. Crimson fup
porters say It was not necessary. This
may be so. still it stands out that Har
vard wanted to smother the Southerners
11 uiuj 10 Kain some consolation over the
defeat administered by Tufts the week
before. Harvard's llr.e. on the play to
date, cannot be compared with that of
Princeton. Harvard's Individual offence
may soon be supplanted by a machine
and If that happens Princeton will be
hard put to equal tho work of the Crim
con. There Is a battle promised for Harvard
In two weeks, when Al Sharpe takes his
strong Cornelllans to Cambridge for
their annual battle. Harvard is still
stinging from the defeat administered
last year, but there seems little chance
for revenge now,
Cornell Primed for War.
Cornell to date has put forward a

as that which tarried tho Ithucans to the
Eastern title last year. Also thero are

another powerful squad that will make

Metcalf an Inspiration
for Columbia Squad
Columbia football follower should
deff their hats to Nelson Metralf. the
ambitious, capable coach of the Ulue and

built up a victorious team out of a drop
kicker and a couple of husky, fighting
basketball stars. So far th's season he
has been without the services of tils
drop kicker, but Columbia goes on sue

tion. That seems tho only explanation
possible for 'the unexpected and. there
fere, meritorious victory over Vermont
Vermont shoved Columbia around the
field with reckless audacity for the
greater part of the game, but when the
real drive started It was a series of Met
calf taught forward passes that found
Columbia ploughing to victory. Carefully

I The service elevens. Army and Navy,
are not easily compared. The Navy has
exhibited nothing wonderful as yet nnd
the Army has won handily and without
being extended. One Important point
stands out. and that Is the Army has a
backfleld which will compare favorably
with any In the country. Ollphant Is ;
playing another dashing game which,
makes him a leading candidate for na-
tlonal attention: Alongside of him there '
are Ave or six others who have proved I
of Inestimable value. The more one sees
of the Army and Navy the more It seems
another Army year.
Poor old Pennsylvania Is having Its
troubles again. Kor several years Penn 1
, has started like a zephyr and finished ,
with cyclonic ferocity. Mabe this Is to '
, be another season of this kind. However,
, Penn was swept to defeat by Swarth
more on Saturday nnd was really dis
graced. Hob Folwcll Is not having the
meteoric success he anticipated.
Penn State and Pittsburg again are ,
proving beyond peradventure to be form
idable opponents, West Virginia pro
vided no contest for the State Collegians
and Pitt triumphed over the Navy 20 to
. 19, making enough fumbles to bring
about a close score.
Colgate travelled to Urbana, III., and ,
spanked Hob Zuppke's Illlnl In the first
big Intersectlonal battlo of the season.
Illinois two seasons ogo was rated the
best team In the West, and is not to be
laughed at now. which makes Colgate's
feat worthy of mention.
adhering to the advice of the coach. Co
lumbia tried nothing unusual in the first
half, but once the ripening was prepared
tho signal came from the coach, the
plays were called for and Columbia won.
The triumph of the Hlue and White
' wan the only solace for the local col
leges during the day. N(W York I'nl-'
verslty found In Haverford a foe worthy
of strict vigilance. After a hard fought
1 tussle the score was a tie at a touch
i down and goal ea-h Ther was a lot
of distress. ng fumbling and erratic
I playing by tho Violet squad and an
I equal amount by the Pennsylvania col-
leglans. There was no continuity of at
tack shown by either New York Uni
versity or Haverford, probably becaum
the offensive was not equal to the de
fence, i
The Violet game was marred by an ex
cessive amount of punting. Haverford
refused to try any consistent attack, re-,
sorting to punting on almot every down.
This, In a way, was justifiable, as the
visitors had with them a punter of no
man ability. However, N. Y. U. made
a vital mistake In not attempting to gain
by carrying the ball and In that way
t helping out Its punter. Howard Cann
' again played a good game, but was un
able to do much, owing to the stylo of
game elected by the field generals.
Marshall Helps Mrvrna.
Stevens made a great Hart aenlnst the I
heavier Mlddlebury outfit, but was un-
able to bold the pace and was forced to .
accept defeat. There Is one outstanding ,
player on the Stevens team, and that Is
Marshall, the fullback. He worked vali
antly to bring victory to his team, but
was unequal to the strength exhibited by
the visitors. ;
Since Fordham did not play, enthu
siasts did not have a chance to watch ,
probably the best local team In action. '
The games brought out the fact that Co
lumbia again has a squad which may ac
count for a lot of laurels among the sec
ondary colleges, and also that N. Y. U. I
will have to hammer hard If It can ex- J
pect to reverse the score of last year
with Columbia. N, Y. V. had hoped that ,
this season It would be able to discrunt
the drop kicking of Miller by a spirited
offensive, but up to date thLs offensive
has been lacking.

Chicago, Oct 15. Championship as
plratlons are budding In the camp of
the University of Chicago football eleven
as a result of Its eurprlslnv clean cut,
victory over Itxlhna Saturday In the
first game of the "Illg Nine" season.
The triumph reestabllhed Chicago as '
a Strang candidate for the Western Con
ference honors, although critics agree
thoj Minnesota still has the edge. The
Maroons crushed Indiana with a new
righting spirit. The eleven was SO per
cent. Improved over the aggregation
that took the field a week a?o. The
Plays were executed with more polish,
the backs had power to their drives and
there was only little blundering In the
signals. ,
The defeat of Indiana means Its elim
ination as a possible contender for thel
"Mr Nine" championship honors.
The defeat of Illinois at the hands of
Colgate was a shock to supporters of
the Illlnl, who had hoped for a possible
victory or at least a closer score. It
wus the first defeat for the Illinois
eleven since 19 13.
Illinois must prepare to face a high
powered eleven In meeting Ohio State
next Saturday. The Ohloans burled

Wisconsin's victory over South Dakota

"Illg Nine"' honors.
The leaders outside, the Conference,

The contest for the Alaska Senate seat from District Q pits a Republican incumbent who's decision in the last session left him outside the bipartisan power block, and a Democrat who says he isn't about party politics.
Sen. Tom Wagoner, of Kenai, is seeking a third term. In his political career, Wagoner has served three years on the Kenai City Council, and three years as the city's mayor.
He has been in business and also has served as dean of vocational education and dean of instruction at Kenai Peninsula Community College.
His challenger is Dr. Nels Anderson, of Soldotna, who served 15 years on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Board of Education, beginning in 1993 until this year when he decided to run for state office.
A longtime physician, he served as chief of staff at Central Peninsula Hospital from 2006 to 2008.
Below are thumbnail sketches of the two candidates and some of their positions on important issues.
Nels Anderson
A strong believer in balancing budgets, fiscal discipline and using funds in areas that make sense, Nels Anderson says Alaska should learn from its boom and bust past, spend what it must and save judiciously.
He said he doesn't believe there will be much of a surplus to deal with in the next fiscal year, now that the price of a barrel of oil has fallen.
"They will probably be enough to deal with this year, but then it may be back to deficits," he said.
Anderson is a proponent of bipartisan cooperation, saying on his website, "We need cooperative solutions and not party rhetoric."
Government is not about parties, he said, committing to "vote my conscience" on any issue. He said he would be willing to join a bipartisan coalition to get things done.
Anderson has spent 15 years serving on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Board of Education. He advocates fully funding schools and said the state's failure to appropriate money in line with the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District's area cost differential has cost the district as much as $200 million since 1984, he said.
"That's inexcusable," he said.
He favors utilizing Internet and satellite technology to offer specialized courses throughout the state. He said he supports fully funding the Teacher Retirement System and Public Employee Retirement System.
More than 110,000 Alaskans are living without health insurance and watching healthcare costs skyrocket, said Anderson. While Alaska is "at the mercy" of policies set at the federal level, he said, there are steps that could be taken at the state level to make more efficient the way the Medicaid and Medicare systems are used. He said he'd work to find answers and "be part of the solution."
Tom Wagoner
Incumbent Sen. Tom Wagoner says moving a natural gas pipeline project along is a priority and one of the reasons he's seeking another term.
The project needs to be "bulldogged to the bitter end," he has said.
He's also said he worries that lawmakers who were not behind the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) would strangle future funding. Earlier this year, the controversial AGIA process led to an agreement with TransCanada Corp. to pursue a gas line from the North Slope to the Lower 48.
As important as that was, however, the recent financial collapse and the steep slide in oil prices is likely to make the FY 2010 state budget the top focus for lawmakers in the coming session, Wagoner said. Cuts would come in the capital budget, which he said should be more about repairing what exists than funding new infrastructure.
Wagoner was a member of a five-Senator Republican minority caucus during the last session. Although Republicans outnumbered Democrats in the body, other Republicans joined a bipartisan coalition dominated by Democrats. Wagoner's decision not to join may have cost him. For instance, in his statement printed in the statewide voter pamphlet, he said his efforts to address energy cost relief early in this year's session fell on deaf ears. The Senate, he said, declined to hear the bill.
"My proposal was to provide $750 per household as an annual relief on utility bills, which could have negated federal income tax obligations while still providing much needed relief," he said.
Wagoner said he doesn't regret his decision, but added that he would join a coalition if he is re-elected, but only if Republicans, rather than Democrats, led it.
He has also said he would continue pushing for early funding for education, paying down the state debt, a capital budget that treated all areas of the state equitably, and a long-term fiscal policy.

Sky Ferreira – Red Lips (Elite Gymnastics Remix) (Premiere)
One listen to Sky Ferreira's "Red Lips" and immediately the words "dirty, sexy grunge" come to mind. At only 20 years old, Sky's working on her debut album I'm Not Alright, out later this fall. It features collaborations with Jon Brion (Fiona Apple), Blake Mills (Band of Horses), Cass McCombs and Shirley Manson (Garbage). The first single "Red Lips" has already gotten visual treatment directed by Terry Richardson. In the video, Sky gets cozy with a creepy crawly tarantula in front of a white background. The only color in the video is Sky's blood red lips, hence the title of the track.
We're excited today to be premiering the Elite Gymnastics remix of "Red Lips." Take a listen below and check out the video for the track.

Things to look out for in a commercial leasing agreement.
You have just purchased a commercial property space and are now looking to rent it out to generate passive income.
Mr Benny Koh, 57, a consultant at a wealth management firm that specialises in real estate investments, said: "Commercial properties have a lower cost per sq ft and shorter leases that range from 30 to 60 years.
"Tenant agreements are often more flexible. But it is prudent to include certain clauses in the lease agreements."
Here are some of them.
1. Tenant subletting and lease assignment
This clause protects your rights as the owner of the commercial property. It prevents a tenant from subletting your commercial property space or assigning the lease to another party without your consent.
Mr Koh said: "An assignment and subletting clause must be included in the lease agreement to outline the tenant's limits on occupancy. It should further state that any assignment, sublet, or concession granted by the tenant is invalid, and that the landlord has the option to terminate the lease agreement and evict the tenant on these grounds."
2. Maintenance issues
A lease agreement should clearly outline the tenant's responsibilities with respect to repairs and maintenance issues.
"These include the terms for keeping the space clean and sanitary, and payment for any damages caused by neglect or abuse by the tenant. These clauses will give you legal backing in the event of a dispute over the security deposit," said Mr Koh.
If you prefer your tenant to handle all repairs and insurance for the property, get a legal firm to draft an agreement that removes your liability as a landlord for the cost of all insurance and repairs.
3. Mediating disputes
Provisions should be included in an agreement to outline how disputes should be handled.
Mr Koh said: "Common disputes include rental reviews. Commercial lease agreements usually highlight that the rent may be reviewed every five years, typically to increase the rent according to the property's market value.
"Rent review clauses should include steps on mediation, arbitration, or engaging the services of a third-party."

Government promotes private education funding
A collective voice of disdain has spoken out against Governmental money-saving proposals that could equate to English universities losing £200m in education funding, leaving them with little more than £132m in the Student Opportunity Fund to provide higher education services to underprivileged students and prospective pupils who hope to secure a future placement.
Many individuals fear the immediate effects of the cuts, but concerns also surround the long-term impact of lost education fund benefits. After fifteen year olds recently failed to make the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) global top twenty in English, maths and science, fears of a national and generational dumbing-down won't be dismissed too readily.
The steadily worsening state of the English education system has inspired many parents and carers to investigate private, tax-friendly options ahead of the time they'll have to pay their children's education fees. Others are giving serious consideration to an overseas education, where state support and national results continually embarrass our once enviable English education system.
It's been proven that underprivileged pupils will have a third of the overall opportunity of going to college, but those who do manage to secure a place simply won't be able to sustain their higher education as affordability issues threaten to bring their courses to a premature end. All eyes are now on the HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for England) which allocates future funding.
When accounting for the recent £100m fund reduction applied to the National Scholarship Programme, it's hardly surprising to learn that plans to save money in BIS (the Dept. of Business, Innovation and Skills) have been met with a frosty and far-reaching negativity. The desirability of an English education now stands to diminish and become renowned for its detrimental underfunding.
The reaction is far from unfounded of course and as NUS (National Union of Students) representatives have been quick to point out, Student Opportunity Funding predominantly provides financial support that effectively empowers England's social mobility. It seems the government now intends to undo national progression by forcing English education into taking a giant step backwards.

Open Book, 1011 Washington Ave. S., Mpls. (Oct. 18 performance at Plymouth Congregational Church, 1900 Nicollet Ave., Mpls.); $25; 800-838-3006 or tenthousandthings.org. — Dominic P. Papatola
Theater Les Liaisons Dangereuses
Through Oct. 13: Is it a coincidence that the tiny Urban Samurai Productions scheduled British playwright Christopher Hampton's best-known play (which was based on a 1782 French novel and in turn was made into a 1988 film) in the middle of the Guthrie Theater's big, fat Christopher Hampton festival? Probably not, but you've still got to give the small company props for its savvy. Sabes JCC, 4330 Cedar Lake Road S., Mpls.; $16-$12; 612-524-5825 or urbansamurai.org.

Theater The Cat in the Hat
Through Dec. 2: Seems like it's been a long while since the smaller Cargill Stage at the Children's Theatre Company has been put to productive use. That drought ends this weekend when the theater — which has a long association with the works of Dr. Seuss — presents the U.S. premiere of the National Theatre of Great Britain's adaptation of the beloved Seuss tale of a mischievous feline. Dean Holt stars in the title role. Children's Theatre Company, 2400 Third Ave. South, Mpls.; $56-$10; 612-874-0400 or childrenstheatre.org

Family SteppingStone Theatre 25th Birthday Bash
Sunday: The Twin Cities is known for its rich offerings in children's theater, thanks to institutions like SteppingStone Theatre, which celebrates its 25th anniversary with an afternoon of music and performance. SteppingStone grew out of the education programs of Chimera Theatre in 1987 and performed many years in the basement auditorium of the Landmark Center before moving into a renovated church in 2007. The birthday bash includes variety-show style entertainment from Taiko drum artist and playwright Sara Dejoras, composer Gary Rue, music act Koo Koo Kanga Roo and more. Or hit a workshop and learn improv, beat boxing or some Michael Jackson dance moves. 3-6 p.m.; SteppingStone Theatre, 55 Victoria Street N., St. Paul; $10 adults, free under age 18; 651-225-9265 or steppingstonetheatre.org. — Maja Beckstrom
Family Weekends with the Weisguides
Sunday: Some say the shiny façade of the Weisman Art Museum was inspired by the Mississippi River. Architect Frank Gehry said he was inspired by the Tibetan monasteries built into the steep slopes of the Himalayas. Whatever the inspiration, the museum is recognized as a landmark on the University of Minnesota campus and the precursor of Gehry's famous Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain. Join the Weisguides for a family-friendly tour focused on the building and its architect. Kids can also make pop-up buildings and maps. 1-3 p.m.; Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, 333 E. River Rd., Mpls.; free. 612-625-9494 or wam.umn.edu.

Family Landmark Center Tour
Sunday: Here's your chance to climb up into the big square tower of the Landmark Center. The popular "Nooks & Crannies" architectural tour gives people a chance to explore areas normally off limits to the public, including the sub-basement, the winding tunnels beneath the building, and the north tower overlooking Sixth Street. Volunteer guides will be stationed throughout the building to answer questions. 1-3 p.m.; Landmark Center, 75 W. Fifth St., St. Paul; free; 651-292-3225 or landmarkcenter.org.

Family Medieval Fair
Sunday: Caponi Art Park turns into a medieval village for the seventh annual Medieval Fair. Here is your chance to try on armor and listen to stories at the feet of a bard. The living history event is hosted by costumed members of the Society for Creative Anachronism. There will be games from the Middle Ages, music, juggling and demonstrations of everything from armed combat to the gentle art of lace making. Think of it as a cheaper, smaller, less bawdy and more historically accurate version of the Renaissance Festival. 11 a.m.-5 p.m; Caponi Art Park, 1220 Diffley Rd., Eagan; $5 suggested donation; 651-454-9412 or caponiartpark.org.

Family Fall Color Rides on the Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railway
Sunday through Oct. 28: Watch fall colors from a vintage passenger train car aboard the historic Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railway. You board in Osceola, Wis., and chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo 20 miles through the woods, across the St. Croix River on the old Cedar Bend Draw Bridge and then turn around in Marine on St. Croix. The 90-minute ride gives you plenty of time to look for bald eagles out the window, hit the concession car and walk back to the mail car to learn how mail used to be delivered "on the fly" from a moving train. The nonprofit Minnesota Transportation Museum also runs brunch and dinner rides and the popular Pumpkin Express to a pumpkin patch in Dresser, Wis., on Oct. 19, 20 and 21. For fall color train schedule, go to mtmuseum.org; 114 Depot Road, Osceola, Wis.; $17 adult, $8 child ages 5-15, free 4 and younger; 715-755-3570 or mtmuseum.org.

Blues Big Walter Smith Benefit Concert
Sunday: This is one of several posthumous benefits being held to help pay medical and funeral expenses for blues singer Big Walter Smith, who died in July. The music starts at 3 p.m. with LadyJ Griot and her Root Doctors, followed by the Soul Mates featuring Wilbur Cole, the Groove Merchants featuring Jimi "Prime Time" Smith, Sweet Papa Dave and the Private Reserve and Inside Straight.

Jazz Esperanza Spalding
Sunday: No jazz performer had ever won the Grammy Award for best new artist until bassist-composer-vocalist Esperanza Spalding accomplished the feat in 2011. The former child prodigy has continued to expand her fan base beyond hard-core jazz buffs with a shrewdly crafted and entertaining CD, "Radio Music Society" (Heads Up Records). There's a breezy, graceful vibe to Spalding's music, heavily influenced by Brazil's rich musical heritage even though Spalding is a native of Portland, Ore. She also draws on R&B, rock and pop and a developing vocal talent in composing and delivering her beguiling tunes. 7:30 p.m.; State Theatre, 805 Hennepin Ave., Mpls.; $73-$33; 612-339-7007 or hennepintheatretrust.org.

Rock Grizzly Bear
Monday: After breaking through to a larger audience with 2009's "Veckatimest," Brooklyn indie-rockers Grizzly Bear took a breather, with various band members pursuing solo projects and/or marriage. The group's just-released follow-up, "Shields," continues Grizzly Bear's commitment to mixing up genres, with touches of chamber-pop, folk and psychedelic rock. It's already earned them comparisons to everyone from Joni Mitchell to Supertramp. It may also be the last thing they record together, as bassist/producer Chris Taylor recently said: "We don't know if we'll make another record, and I think we're all aware of that. I think we're pretty realistic with the idea that life is unpredictable." 7:30 p.m.; First Avenue, 701 First Ave. N., Mpls.; $35; 612-332-1775.

Rock Dispatch
Monday: Boston trio Dispatch was initially active from 1996 to 2002, and swiftly built an audience in the jam-band scene with a series of four records that started out as quiet, acoustic folk and blossomed into full-out electric rock. A belated 2004 farewell concert drew more than 100,000 fans to an outdoor Boston gig, with the group occasionally reuniting for one-off gigs in the years that followed. In 2011, they officially reunited and have since toured heavily and recorded a new album, "Circles Around the Sun," their first in more than a decade. Fans should hold onto their concert ticket, as it contains an online code to download a free recording of this show. Folk trio Good Old War open. 8 p.m.; Orpheum Theatre, 910 Hennepin Ave. S., Mpls.; $41; 800-982-2787.

Pop Perfume Genius
Tuesday: Seattle singer/songwriter Mike Hadreas, who records as Perfume Genius, earned his record deal the new-fashioned way, after posting his music online. He issued his debut, "Learning," in 2010, but picked up some serious steam with its follow-up, "Put Your Back N 2 It." The album itself earned warm reviews, but the video for the song "Hood" grabbed even more attention, thanks to Hadreas' co-star, bearish gay porn star Arpad Miklos (clad only black bikini underwear). Ticket demand forced this local tour stop to move from Bryant-Lake Bowl to the larger Fine Line. Experimental duo Dusted opens. 8 p.m.; Fine Line Music Cafe, 318 First Ave. N., Mpls.; $13.50; 612-338-8100. — Ross Raihala
Classical Musicians of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra
Tuesday: Garrison Keillor has said the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra has a special place in his heart because it's the first orchestra he ever heard in concert, back in his school days. So he's offered to host a concert by the musicians of the orchestra, which is intended as a "thank you" for the emotional support they've received while going through some tough negotiations for a new contract. They will set up in the Macalester College gym (a couple of blocks from Keillor's bookstore) and perform a classical-era program of works by Gioacchino Rossini, Mozart and Beethoven. 7:30 p.m.; Leonard Center Gymnasium, Macalester College, 125 S. Snelling Ave., St. Paul; free; musiciansspco.org.
— Rob Hubbard
Classical Carlo Aonzo and Rene Izquierdo
Tuesday: Starting Wednesday, Minnetonka will be hosting the annual national convention of the Classical Mandolin Society of America, so there will be a lot of strumming and plucking around the lake. But many of those mandolinists will likely be coming eastward to St. Paul for this concert by one of the most esteemed mandolin-guitar duos in classical music. Both mandolinist Aonzo and guitarist Izquierdo have solid careers as soloists, but they've released a recording of sonatas by Niccolo Paganini, who might be known as one of history's great violinists, but mandolin was his first instrument. 8 p.m.; Sundin Music Hall, 1531 Hewitt Ave., St. Paul; $18-$5; 651-523-2459 or hamline.edu/sundin.
— Rob Hubbard
Classical Karita Mattila
Wednesday: This Finnish soprano is simply one of the world's greatest singers and among opera's most gifted actors. She's so expressive that a recital feels more like a one-woman show than your typical concert, as her last Schubert Club performance proved. Her schedule is full of engagements at the world's top opera houses — the Met, London's Royal Opera, the Paris National Opera — but catching her in an intimate recital is a great way to get a sense of the breadth of her talent. She and pianist Martin Katz open the Schubert Club season with works by Alban Berg, Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, Richard Strauss and three of her Finnish countrymen. 7:30 p.m.; Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, 345 Washington St., St. Paul; $60-$15; 651-292-3268 or Schubert.org.
— Rob Hubbard
Pop The Go-Go's
Wednesday: Thirty-one years ago, the Go-Go's issued "Beauty and the Beat," a still-potent debut album topped off with two huge MTV smashes ("Our Lips Are Sealed," "We Got the Beat") and another nine, mostly killer tracks from an era where punk was morphing into new wave. The band's old label reissued "Beauty and the Beat" last year with a bonus second disc featuring a live Boston gig from 1981 (they sound terrific as a band, despite some squealing feedback now and again). Bass player Kathy Valentine is currently recovering from wrist surgery and is not expected to perform at this local tour stop. Transmission/89.3 The Current DJ Jake Rudh is also on the bill. 8 p.m.; Mill City Nights, 111 Fifth St. N., Mpls.; $42-$39.50; 888-929-7849.

Rock Amanda Palmer
Wednesday: Best known as one half of the goth/punk duo the Dresden Dolls — as well as being the wife of fantasy author Neil Gaiman — Amanda Palmer used Kickstarter to fund her new solo album, "Theatre Is Evil." She hoped to earn $100,000, but ended up setting a record on the fundraising website with a haul of more than $1.1 million. For her current tour, she planned to assemble horn/string sections in each city using fans willing to play for free. Given her huge Kickstarter bounty, some folks understandably began to protest and, after about a week of spirited online debate, Palmer agreed to pay the volunteer musicians. The controversy did help her new album, which landed at No. 10 on the Billboard charts after its first week. 7:30 p.m.; First Avenue, 701 First Ave. N., Mpls.; $25; 612-332-1775.
— Ross Raihala
Pop Owl City
Thursday: For his third major-label album, "The Midsummer Station," Minnesota synth-pop star Adam Young worked with outside writers/producers for the first time, including Matt Thiessen (Relient K), Stargate (Rihanna, Wiz Khalfia) and Robopop (Maroon 5). In addition, he invited guest vocalists Mark "Blink-182" Hoppus and "Call Me Maybe" star Carly Rae Jepsen to contribute to the disc. The Jepsen collaboration, the single "Good Time," gave Young his first major chart success since 2009's "Fireflies," which means Owl City is no longer a one-hit wonder. Long Island newcomer Matthew Koma opens. 6:30 p.m.; First Avenue, 701 First Ave. N., Mpls.; $25 (all ages); 612-332-1775.

Jazz Larry McDonough CD release party
Thursday: St. Paul-based jazz pianist-vocalist-composer Larry McDonough is celebrating the release of his new CD "Solitude." At the AQ, McDonough will be collaborating with saxophonist and poet Richard Terrill. The new CD includes odd-meter compositions based on melody fragments by children with disabilities (including McDonough's daughter, Rosie) and original poems by Terrill, a Minnesota Book Award winner. It also includes interpretations of music from films and Braodway, along with international rhythms and historical pieces. 9 p.m.; Artists' Quarter, 408 St. Peter St., St. Paul; $5l 651-292-1359 or artistsquarter.com.
— Dan Emerson
R&B Joss Stone
Thursday: Now 25, British soul singer Joss Stone is getting nostalgic. Her current album, "The Soul Sessions Volume 2," is a sequel to her acclaimed 2003 debut. Like its predecessor, the disc sees Stone putting her own stamp on a handful of R&B classics, from Womack and Womack's "Teardrops" to Sylvia's "Pillow Talk" to "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" (a doo-wop song that's been covered by Don Cherry, the Casinos and Eddy Arnold). She even tackled a modern track, Broken Bells' "The High Road," and transformed it into something deliciously retro much as she did the first time around with the White Stripes' "Fell in Love With a Girl." 8 p.m.; the O'Shaughnessy, 2004 Randolph Ave., St. Paul; $55-$52; 651-690-6700.

Five students from First Coast Technical College rock.
Each earned a gold medal at state SkillsUSA by demonstrating their skill level and will now move to compete at the national championships June 20-25 in Kansas City, Mo.
FCTC sent 31 students and seven instructors to the state competition in April. Advisor Chuck Ballard said, "Of that group, 10 earned a medal, five were gold. "I knew they were good. These students showed the rest of Florida just how good they really are. This is the first time in FCTC history that five will represent the college at the national level," said Ballard.
However, there is a challenge that might keep FCTC's five gold medal recipients and three instructors home. "Money constraints," Ballard said.
FCTC is hoping the community will help. FCTC needs an estimated $13,500 to make the trip. "If everyone can donate just a little, FCTC students will make St. Augustine proud," Ballard said.
FCTC is accepting donations until June 1. Make checks payable (tax deductible) to First Coast Technical College earmarked for SkillsUSA championships and mail to FCTC, 2980 Collins Ave., St. Augustine, FL 32084. For information, call 547-3375.
