Papo & Yo


Papo & Yo, a puzzle-platformer from Minority, crossed over to PC from PlayStation Network with grace. This tale of a boy and a monster takes places in an imaginative world filled with South American-style houses, reason-defying physics, and a heartfelt story that explores the relationship between child and parent.

Inspired by the creative director and writer?s childhood memories of an alcoholic, violent father, the player takes role of Quico, a young boy. Quico?s abusive dad makes him retreat into a fantasy world. With his robot toy, Luna, at his side, he meets Monster, a giant pink demon-like creature. Thrown together by circumstance, they face obstacles together to get through life (and the levels of the game).

The primary goal is to reach the next destination by turning magical keys and setting up platforms, often made up of houses. The surrealist environment responds to Quico?s actions when he turns keys or presses in gears: huts suddenly grow feet or wings and move, grass rolls up revealing an underground passage, and whole segments of the city bend and move like elastic Legos. Your imagination is the limit in this creative puzzler; setting objects to work is simple and wonderful to watch.

Jumping in Quickly
The keyboard and mouse set up works great for Quico: WSAD handles movement and the space bar controls jumping; the rest is handled with left and right mouse clicks. Papo & Yo's gameplay mostly revolves around activating all switches in an area to make a passage accessible. There?s lots of jumping, which works well, but collision detection hiccups can produce weird interactions with ledges or get Quico stuck in moving elements. But, for the most part, this never impaired the gameplay, and when I was stuck in the side of a rotating block, I managed to free myself. The platforming is rather simple, and Quico can?t grab onto ledges. In practice, this means that you only jump on mostly flat surfaces that are easy to distance-judge.

The game doesn?t offer much in terms of branching out or going astray from the prescribed path. Bigger areas have tons of hidden ledges and shelves, but they don?t often lead anywhere. Invisible walls are used frequently, which is a shame, since the game could have more creative borders. My natural curiosity to find hidden areas, or to go where I?m not supposed to, was not satisfied, although there is one form of an optional collectible in the game. ?Unfortunately, though, platform enthusiasts or seekers of secrets and hidden goodies may find the game a little dry in those aspects. Like a storybook, the game places you on a strictly set path.

Puzzles start off really simple, and get increasingly complex. The puzzles are a little simplistic in principle because most often, you just try to press each gear and turn every handle you see as though it?s a checklist. My favorite segment involved stacking houses on top of each other, then using a lever to make them bend in a certain direction to access more pieces, further extending the tower, until I was able to cross over to the next area. It?s a joy to watch the houses shift to Quico?s imagination ? it?s wondrous, inventive, occasionally jaw-dropping, and seamlessly integrated with gameplay. It gets even more interesting when the Monster comes into play.

The Boy and the Beast
The heart of the game lies at interacting with the beast, who is both an aid and antagonist. When asleep at specific spots, Quico can jump off his belly to reach higher ledges. Monster can be lured anywhere as long as you have yellow fruit that can be picked up and thrown ? for example, Monster may need to stand in a specific spot to activate a platform . Beware, though, of his addiction to poisonous frogs. Consuming one sends Monster into an uncontrollable, fiery rage, and if Quico is nearby, he?ll run right to him and attack. Emotions rise as the music turns from gentle South-American wind instruments to fast-tempo, crazed tribal beats with drums. This simulates something of a boss fight, where Quico solves some quick puzzles and avoid Monster in order to calm him. Through these mechanics, you learn to cooperate with the behemoth.

The story is the strongest point of the game. Quico finds solace and comfort in Lula, his toy-robot, and follows a mysterious girl who guides him, but when the friends clash with Monster, the relationship between Quico and the beast gets even more complicated. You learn to live with this difficult bond; it?s someone you will start to dislike, even hate, but still need and maybe even want to help. Although not a very outspoken protagonist, Quico shows his youthful optimism in that he doesn?t hate the beast even though it may hurt him or his friends. The game?s larger themes are revealed when you learn how this relates to Quico?s real life and his actual father, which Papo & Yo slowly reveals and develops. It truly tugs at your heart at many times, especially at the climactic, masterfully-executed finish.

The Moral of the Story
The visuals are a great component to the fanciful, Inception-like world, and Minority took particular care at playing with light to show remarkable sunsets and shadows. Shades from Monster?s body are artfully used. It is clear that the art directors did a thorough, immaculate conceptualization, synthesizing it with the gameplay. Rain, clouds, and rainbows play together with the surrealist, desolate, South-American environment.

The deep, thematic storyline and engaging artwork overshadow the gameplay, unfortunately. It?s a shame that Monster only reacts to the player in prescribed triggers (frogs, fruit, etc) and doesn?t continually interact with Quico to further simulate the relationship. Papo & Yo is definitely more about the story than the gameplay, although younger players? impressions may be different. The game?s themes of alcoholism and abuse, handled in subtle, meaningful metaphors, will definitely resonate more with some people than others, but it should at least evoke emotion in anyone remotely empathetic.

Papo & Yo, ultimately, is worth the time to invest, and the game?s tackling of issues that overshadow the gameplay itself are admirable and well-executed. It?s like a Pixar movie or a classic storybook in video game form, and even though it may not be the most engaging platform-puzzler out there, it still is a pleasure to listen to, watch, and play.

Insight: Battered by war, Syrian army creates its own replacement

BEIRUT (Reuters) - In Syria, for scores of men called each month to join the army for deadly combat, there is a more attractive alternative: stay home, join a loyalist paramilitary group, and get a share of the loot in raids on President Bashar al-Assad's enemies.

Now into the third year of the uprising against Assad, which began with peaceful protests and became an armed rebellion, Syria's regular army has been weakened. Sectarian faultlines that are increasingly dividing the nation are now fragmenting an army whose strength was already eroded by desertions and defections to rebels.

Army officers belonging mainly to the minority Alawite sect, to which Assad himself belongs, sit uncomfortably in charge of a conscript army of men who are mostly from Syria's majority Sunni Muslims.

Officers wary of their own recruits say they can create a more reliable force out of irregular loyalist militias spread across the country.

"After the events began, our leadership started to lose faith in the army and its effectiveness on the ground in a war like this. The Syrian army is an aging one. There is a lot of routine. A lot of soldiers fled. Some joined armed gangs (the opposition)," said a 35-year old military commander by telephone from Damascus. He withheld his name for safety reasons.

"So we got the idea to make the National Defence Forces. They started out as popular committees patrolling their neighborhoods. Then they became armed groups. And in late 2012, they were legitimized under the name National Defence Forces (NDF)."

Pro-Assad militias used to be called 'shabbiha', derived from the Arabic word for ghost. Since their inception, they have had a sectarian bent. They were feared by the Sunni majority, who accuse the shabbiha of several massacres of Sunnis.

These once shadowy groups are being reorganized, trained and transformed. They have branded themselves as a volunteer reserve army. NDF fighters say the military even pays their salary.

But the creation of this parallel wing to the army could have dangerous consequences. The NDF system may reinforce the sectarian dimensions of a bloody conflict that has already killed more than 70,000 people and driven millions from their homes.

Sunni Islamists now lead the insurgency against four decades of Assad family rule, and minorities are flocking to the NDF to avoid recruitment into an army still comprised mostly of Sunnis. Most NDF fighters are Alawites, but many Christians and Druze have joined as well.

Rising sectarianism is plaguing both sides of a conflict that has become a civil war.

Rebel groups lacking experience have turned to hardline but effective Islamist fighters for support, including the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front that says it wants to create an Islamic theocracy. That has radicalized some elements of a movement that started out calling for secular democracy.

FRAGMENTING ARMY?

After months of violence that has torn the country apart, both the opposition and pro-Assad groups are splintered. The creation of the NDF may be a sign that fragmentation is picking up pace, and that militias will one day take over the army's role in protecting Assad and the minorities that fought with him.

"Most of the soldiers in my unit are Sunnis. They don't trust me, and I don't trust them. That's the problem," said the commander in Damascus.

Like most of the elite in Syria's armed forces, he is Alawite. He says many officers now only use their Alawite soldiers as personal guards or special combat units.

"The soldiers are good guys, but I still worry each night. That's why the NDF is better. No one defects, no one flees."

For many, like 38-year-old Ali, an Alawite, joining the NDF was a necessity. He has a young daughter and wife to support. His small company based in the Gulf collapsed in late 2011 when he returned to his hometown of Homs after his brother, a soldier, was shot dead by rebels.

"I had no idea how to use a gun anymore; it had been two years since I did my compulsory army service. But my cousin was the head of an armed group," he said, referring to the shabbiha.

"He told me I should make a group, too, and he'd arm us ... Six months later, we organized ourselves into a unit of the NDF. Now we get a fixed salary with receipts for expenses. It's very organized."

The NDF has offices in government-controlled cities across Syria. Residents say many have training centers run by Syrian officers. The NDF gives fighters a monthly salary and weapons.

Training can last two weeks to a month, depending on whether it is for basic combat, sniping, or intelligence gathering.

FIGHTING FOR HOME AND SPOILS

For many fighters, the main attraction is fighting for their own home towns and the chance to accumulate extra wealth at a time when the country's economy is collapsing. Unlike soldiers, they say they are allowed and even encouraged to loot houses when attacking rebel-held areas.

"I get 15,000 lira ($158) a month, and I am allowed to keep a percentage of the loot from any battle I fight in," said Nader, a 30-year old Alawite from Homs who studied English literature before the conflict.

"I don't want to die anywhere other than Homs ... I want to be fighting for my own land. So when I got called up for service, I went to join the NDF. They gave me a stamped form, and I took that to the army recruitment office."

Tall and bulky with piercing blue eyes, Nader makes his own personal uniform of green camouflage pants and shirts. For the NDF, uniforms are more a fashion statement than a requirement - in loyalist villages, they sport camouflage bullet vests loaded with ammunition over jeans and t-shirts.

"There's no military routine where I have to wake up at 6 a.m. for drills. This is much more comfortable. Also, you know everyone in your group because you're all from the same area," he told Reuters by phone.

NDF fighters say they can choose to only work checkpoints and are not forced to join the army on raids - but if they don't, they don't get any of the spoils.

Loot is sold to makeshift markets, residents say, where the best goods are sent on to coastal cities or neighboring Lebanon.

Like the rebels who hold much of the northern and southern border regions, the NDF is scattered across the country wherever the army has a foothold. The NDF and army have nearly total control of the coast, home to a large Alawite enclave.

Many people from minorities, including Alawites, have suffered as much poverty and repression as the Sunnis who lead the uprising, but the community has embraced the president as their only protection against a Sunni backlash after decades of Assad family rule dominated by an Alawite elite.

MILITARISED SOCIETY

Military experts originally estimated Assad's army as a force of 300,000 to 500,000, but deserters and defectors have taken their toll.

The army sees many benefits to localized militias. They know every alley in their town, every village in their countryside.

An officer in Homs, who asked not to be identified, said the army was increasingly playing a logistical and directive role, while NDF fighters act as combatants on the ground.

"We direct artillery and air strikes ... Usually NDF fighters stay in their own areas, but if we have a shortage of manpower, sometimes we do send the guys to other provinces if their own areas are calm," the Homs officer said, speaking by phone.

Not all residents look on the growth of the NDF with approval. Its fighters run checkpoints and practically administer smaller towns now, creating resentment among local leaders.

"They take over a government office or a school and make it their base. No one can say or do anything about it," said an elderly Alawite cleric from the village of Masyaf in central Syria, who asked not to be named.

"The head of the NDF here is a dirty man. Two years ago he had nothing. Now he has land, cars, houses. That is all from stealing under the name of 'nationalism'."

Other residents complain the creation of the NDF has inextricably connected minorities to pro-Assad militias, giving them a stark choice.

"Either you become a part of it, or you leave," says Fadi, an Alawite whose family lives in Tartous.

He says he wants to move with his wife and daughter to neighboring Lebanon. "We've become complicit in the militarization of our society."

A step toward optical transistors?

Apr. 9, 2013 ? As demand for computing and communication capacity surges, the global communication infrastructure struggles to keep pace, since the light signals transmitted through fiber-optic lines must still be processed electronically, creating a bottleneck in telecommunications networks.

While the idea of developing an optical transistor to get around this problem is alluring to scientists and engineers, it has also remained an elusive vision, despite years of experiments with various approaches. Now, McGill University researchers have taken a significant, early step toward this goal by showing a new way to control light in the semiconductor nanocrystals known as "quantum dots."

In results published online recently in the journal Nano Letters, PhD candidate Jonathan Saari, Prof. Patanjali (Pat) Kambhampati and colleagues in McGill's Department of Chemistry show that all-optical modulation and basic Boolean logic functionality -- key steps in the processing and generation of signals -- can be achieved by using laser-pulse inputs to manipulate the quantum mechanical state of a semiconductor nanocrystal.

"Our findings show that these nanocrystals can form a completely new platform for optical logic," says Saari. "We're still at the nascent stages, but this could mark a significant step toward optical transistors."

Quantum dots already are used in applications ranging from photovoltaics, to light-emitting diodes and lasers, to biological imaging. The Kambhampati group's latest findings point toward an important new area of potential impact, based on the ability of these nanocrystals to modulate light in an optical gating scheme.

"These results demonstrate the proof of the concept," Kambhampati says. "Now we are working to extend these results to integrated devices, and to generate more complex gates in hopes of making a true optical transistor."

The findings build on a 2009 paper by Kambhampati's research group in Physical Review Letters. That work revealed previously unobserved light-amplification properties unique to quantum dots, which are nanometer-sized spheroids with size-dependent optical properties, such as absorption and photoluminescence.

The research for the Nano Letters article was supported by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and the Fonds de recherche du Qu?bec -- Nature et technologies.

General Motors gives Facebook another try

After a very messy breakup last year, GM has announced that it will test-run ads on Facebook once again.?The company broke away from the social-networking giant last May, just 10 days before Facebook's IPO.

"If you love something, set it free; and if it comes back, then it?s yours." That proverb seems to ring true for General Motors and Facebook. GM has announced that it will test-run advertising with Facebook after their very public break-up last May, just before Facebook?s initial public offering.

It was very bad timing for Facebook -- a major company pulling out $10 million just before its IPO. But now, less than a year from the split, GM and Facebook have reunited to advertise Chevrolet?s subcompact car, the Sonic. The Sonic is being marketed toward young people.

GM pulled its paid advertisement at the behest of its former Chief Marketing Officer Joel Ewanick. Mr. Ewanick stopped paid ads with Facebook under the claim that there was no proof that such ads were more successful than the free GM brands pages.

However, many things have changed with Facebook since then. In January, reports were published that Facebook has become the most used mobile application in the United States. Close to a quarter of the time that Americans spend using mobile apps is taken up just on Facebook.?It comes as no surprise, then, that GM will run its advertisements solely through Facebook's mobile site.

?It?s almost inevitable that they would be back," says Brennan White, directing manager of Pandemic Labs in Boston. ?Facebook is the dominant mobile application. We?re seeing a huge increase in Facebook advertising dollars and Facebook mobile advertising.?

Mr. White explains that Facebook has put considerable effort into ?cracking the mobile nut, so to speak.?? Big companies like GM can better target potential customers if they pair up with Facebook, he says.

So, what else caught GM?s attention?

Facebook?s latest additions proved attractive to the automobile maker,?according?to valuewalk.com.

?Another key feature is the introduction of FBX ad-exchange, which inserts highly targeted promos into the users? timeline. It increased the likelihood of users seeing and clicking more ads,? writes Vikas Shukla of valuewalk. ?

As was mentioned before, it was GM's Mr. Ewanick that decided against paid ads on Facebook. Ewanick was forced to leave GM last July after not giving full disclosure with regards to Chevy?s sponsorship of the soccer team Manchester United.

GM replaced him with Alan Batey, who has reversed many of Ewanick?s decisions.

In addition to returning to Facebook, Mr. Batey has also reversed Ewanick?s decision to split Chevrolet advertising between Goodby Silverstein and McCann Worldgroup, consolidating it under McCann and changed the ?Chevy runs deep? campaign to ?Find new roads.?

Mobile ads are becoming a big part of Facebook?s revenue. The recent unveiling of Facebook?s Home app could further cement its seat in the app-universe. The social-network giant estimates that 23 percent of its ad revenue in the fourth quarter came from mobile ad, according to CNN.

Will Facebook and GM stay together this time? Nothing is certain; the ads are, after all, a test-run. However, with the ad market turning digital, Facebook could play a much bigger part in many companies's ad plans.

Five die in Christian-Muslim clashes in Egypt

By Ashraf Fahim

EL KHUSUS, Egypt (Reuters) - Five Egyptians were killed and eight wounded in clashes between Christians and Muslims in a town near Cairo, security sources said on Saturday, in some of the worst sectarian violence in Egypt for months.

Christian-Muslim confrontations have increased in Muslim-majority Egypt since the overthrow of former president Hosni Mubarak in 2011 gave freer rein to hardline Islamists repressed under his rule.

Four Christian Copts and one Muslim were killed when members of both communities started fighting and shooting at each other in El Khusus north of the Egyptian capital, the sources said. State news agency MENA put the death toll at four.

An angry crowd smashed shops belonging to Christians, residents said. A Reuters reporter saw a burned-out Coptic day care center and several damaged shops belonging to Christian traders. An apartment inhabited by Muslims was also burned.

Residents said the violence broke out on Friday when a group of Christian children were drawing on a wall of a Muslim religious institute.

A Reuters reporter saw what looked like a swastika drawn on the wall. Muslim residents said it had offended them because it looked like a cross.

"I saw the kids drawing on the wall after afternoon prayers so I grabbed them and told them to remove what they'd just written," said Mahmoud Mahmoud al-Alfi, a Muslim resident.

Then another man arrived and started beating the children, drawing a large crowd, he said. The situation escalated when someone drew a gun and fired into the air, killing one boy with a stray bullet.

"Suddenly the area was full of weapons," Alfi said, while weeping Muslim women sat nearby in front of a house, showing pictures of a man they said had been killed during the clashes.

The president's office expressed condolences to the victims and vowed to fight any sectarian violence.

"The presidency ... totally rejects any attempt against the unity and cohesiveness of Egyptian society and will decisively confront any attempt to spark sectarian strife among Egyptian people, Muslim and Christian," according to a statement.

Muslim leaders were also quick to condemn the sectarian violence which comes as Egypt struggles with a severe economic crisis and high inflation after two years of political upheaval.

Grand Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, of Egypt's leading Islamic authority Al-Azhar, urged measures to prevent the situation from escalating and to "preserve the national character which characterises the Egyptian people, Muslims and Christians," MENA said.

"The sectarian riots which happened in El Khusus are unacceptable and grave," Saad al-Katatni, the head of the Muslim Brotherhood political party, said on his Facebook website. "There are some who want to set Egypt ablaze and create crises."

President Mohamed Mursi, a Brotherhood leader elected in June, has promised to protect the rights of Copts, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt's 84 million people.

TIGHT SECURITY

On Saturday the situation was calm but tense in the small town where Muslims and Christians live close to each other but in separate streets. Security was tight with police vehicles parked in the main streets.

Police detained 15 people, a security source said.

In a Christian neighborhood dozens of angry young men gathered at noon on Saturday, chanting "with our blood and soul we sacrifice ourselves for the cross". The crowds left after a priest came and asked them to leave to calm tensions.

"There are people who want to cause sectarian strife between Muslims and Christians," said a Christian man who gave his name as Kameel. "I've been here longer than 30 years and I have never seen any violence or extremism in our area."

Sectarian tensions have often flared into violence, particularly in rural areas where rivalries between clans or families sometimes add to friction. Love affairs between Muslims and Christians have also sparked clashed in the past.

Since Mubarak was ousted by a popular uprising, Christians have complained of several attacks on churches by radical Islamists, incidents that have sharpened longstanding Christian complaints about being sidelined in the workplace and in law.

As an example, they point to rules that make it harder to obtain official permission to build a church than a mosque.

Last month, a court sentenced a Muslim to death for killing two people in a dispute with Christians in a southern town.

In October 2011, 25 people, most of them Coptic demonstrators, were killed in clashes with troops in Cairo.

Obama faces choice on morning-after pill limits

This undated image made available by Teva Women's Health shows the packaging for their Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) tablet, one of the brands known as the "morning-after pill." In a scathing rebuke of the Obama administration, a federal judge ruled Friday that age restrictions on over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill are "arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable" and must end within 30 days. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Korman of New York means consumers of any age could buy emergency contraception without a prescription _ instead of women first having to prove they're 17 or older, as they do today. And it could allow Plan B One-Step to move out from behind pharmacy counters to the store counters. (AP Photo/Teva Women's Health)

PREVIOUSLY OFFERED 021413; chart shows frequency of use of emergency contraception

(AP) ? President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks.

A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception ? ending today's requirement that buyers show proof they're 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president's pending re-election cloud its judgment when it set the age limits in 2011.

"The motivation for the secretary's action was obviously political," U.S. District Judge Edward Korman wrote in reference to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who made the 2011 decision. The FDA had been poised to allow over-the-counter sales with no age limits when Sebelius took the unprecedented step of overruling the agency.

If the Obama administration appeals Korman's ruling, it could re-ignite a simmering cultural battle over women's reproductive health ? never far from the surface in American politics ? sidetracking the president just as he's trying to keep Congress and the public focused on gun control, immigration and resolving the nation's budget woes.

"There's no political advantage whatsoever," said Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf. "It's a side issue he doesn't need to deal with right now. The best idea is to leave it alone."

Still, Obama has made clear in the past that he feels strongly about the limits. And as a politician whose name won't ever appear on a ballot again, it's hard to see the downside in sticking by his principles.

"As the father of two daughters, I think it is important for us to make sure that we apply some common sense to various rules when it comes to over-the-counter medicine," Obama said in 2011 when he endorsed Sebelius' decision.

The Justice Department said it is evaluating whether to appeal. Allison Price, a Justice spokeswoman, said there would be a prompt decision. And the White House said Obama's view on the issue hasn't changed since 2011.

"He supports that decision today. He believes it was the right common-sense approach to this issue," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Friday.

Appealing the decision could rile liberal groups and parts of Obama's political base that are already upset with his forthcoming budget, which includes cuts to programs like Medicare and Social Security. But currying favor with conservatives who want the ruling to stand also is unlikely to do much to help Obama make progress on his second-term priorities.

"It won't help him with Republicans in Congress to get policy matters attended to," Sheinkopf said.

Also weighing on Obama and his aides as he decides how to proceed is the unpleasant memory of previous dust-ups over contraception, including an election-year spat over an element of Obama's health care overhaul law that required most employers to cover birth control free of charge to female workers as a preventive service. That controversy led to a wave of lawsuits that threatened to embroil Obama's health care law, already under fire for a requirement that individuals buy insurance, in even more legal action.

When Obama offered to soften the rule last year, religious groups said it wasn't enough. Obama proposed another compromise on the rule in February to mixed response from faith-based groups.

If the court order issued Friday stands, Plan B One-Step and its generic versions could move from behind pharmacy counters out to drugstore shelves ? ending a decade-plus struggle by women's groups for easier access to these pills, which can prevent pregnancy if taken soon enough after unprotected sex.

Women's health specialists hailed the ruling Friday, arguing there's no reason a safe birth control option shouldn't be available over the counter and dismissing concerns that it could encourage underage people to have sex.

But social conservatives, in a rare show of support for Obama's approach to social policy, said the ruling removes common-sense protections and denies parents and medical professionals the opportunity to be a safeguard for vulnerable young girls.

"The court's action undermines parents' ability to protect their daughters from such exploitation and from the adverse effects of the drug itself," Deirdre McQuade, spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Half the nation's pregnancies every year are unintended. Doctors' groups say more access to morning-after pills ? by putting them near the condoms and spermicides so people can learn about them and buy them quickly ? could cut those numbers.

The morning-after pill contains a higher dose of the female progestin hormone than is in regular birth control pills. Taking it within 72 hours of rape, condom failure or just forgetting regular contraception can cut the chances of pregnancy by up to 89 percent. But it works best within the first 24 hours. If a woman already is pregnant, the pill has no effect.

Absent an appeal or a government request for more time to prepare one, the ruling will take effect in 30 days, meaning that over-the-counter sales could start then.

(AP) ? One of the ballet world's brightest but most volatile stars has vanished, again.

Sergei Polunin had been due to star in a dance piece based on Billy Hayes' Turkish prison memoir "Midnight Express" opening next week in London.

But director Peter Schaufuss said the 23-year-old dancer did not show up for rehearsals on Wednesday.

Polunin's whereabouts could not immediately be determined Friday.

Schaufuss told the BBC he was "hugely disappointed" the young star had left.

"Artists have good and bad days ? that goes with the territory ? but rehearsals were going well," he said.

The dance company said Polunin's mentor, Igor Zelensky, had also left the production.

Ukraine-born Polunin became the youngest-ever male principal dancer at Britain's Royal Ballet when he was 19, but walked out of the company last year, saying he was giving up dance.

He later said he had quit because he could no longer handle the stress of a dance career.

Polunin, who moved to Britain aged 13, had spoken in a 2011 interview about the pressure he felt to succeed.

"I would have liked to behave badly, to play football. I loved sport," he told The Guardian. "But all my family were working for me to succeed. ... There was no chance of me failing."

Polunin later returned to performing under Zelensky at Moscow's Stanislavsky Ballet and has made guest appearances with the Royal Ballet.

When his role in "Midnight Express" was announced late last year, Polunin said it was "exactly the kind of work I want to be making, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it."

The Peter Schaufuss ballet company said understudy Johan Christensen would take over the main role in "Midnight Express," which opens Tuesday.
