The 51st anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy was all over the media this weekend and much on our collective minds. I happened to catch some of the CNN specials on "The 60s" with many reflections of our society and its changes–good and bad. Those of us in our 60s and older have very vivid memories of that day in Dallas–Friday, November 22, 1963. It all comes back so vividly. In my case it was truly a kind of "coming of age." I was a young 17 year old freshman in college at what was then Abilene Christian College sitting in 1st year Bible class–a required course for all students–taught by Carl Brecheen. Around noon someone knocked on the classroom door and told us that President Kennedy had been shot. An audible gasp of shocked disbelief filled the room and Dr. Brecheen had us stand as he led a short prayer, then dismissed the class so we could get to the nearest television. The country and the world were in a state of utter shock. That weekend is a blur as we clustered in groups around televisions with little to say other than "I just can't believe it." For me the election of 1960 was truly a "coming of age." I felt with many of my friends that somehow our "world" had ended that day.I My father likened the experience to the shock over the Pearl Harbor attack, when he like hundreds of thousands of others joined the service the Monday after. The only thing remotely like it in my life has been September 11th, 2001, in terms of the collective shock.
So now 50 years have passed and I began to think this morning about the generation living in Judea and Galilee in the time of Jesus 50 years after his shocking murder by the Roman authorities in April 30 CE. What were things like 50 years later–around the year 80 CE? What about those living at that time in their 60s and older, who had either known or heard Jesus or seen or heard about his death? What would they remember?
We know that the years 66-73 CE were horrible years of death, destruction, and societal disruption as a result of the Jewish Roman Revolt chronicled in such detail by eyewitness Flavius Josephus (Joseph bar Matthias). To understand better the background and foreground of the times I tell my Christian Origins students that before they even think about reading our New Testament documents if they are interested in understanding the Jewish Roman world of Jesus they need to wear out of a copy of Josephus's Jewish War (Bellum Judaicum) published around 75 CE.[1] Josephus served as both a Jewish commander in the Revolt but following his capture a confident and friend of the emperors Vespasian and subsequently Titus and Domitian. Along with a copy of Josephus I would also recommend The Historical Jesus in Context (eds. Levine, Allsion, Crossan) for the broader context of the "life and times" of Jesus.
I think there is no doubt that the generation of those who had heard of or known Jesus 50 years earlier would have memories both vivid and faded–just as some of our own regarding the death of President Kennedy–which undoubtedly have been refreshed tremendously by photos and film in the intervening years. But still, 50 years is just not that long a time. We all have memories of people, places, and even events and conversations that reach back that far. But as every family knows when someone recounts such things at a typical family gathering there can be drastic differences on details of chronology and setting! But still, with over 40,000 books now published on John F. Kennedy, and an abundance of sources that would take a lifetime to even access–photos, letters, documents, films, and memorabilia–biographers still can't agree on much about Kennedy–whether in life or death.
So what about remembering Jesus in 80 CE? There is absolutely no doubt that there would have been many who had known or heard–or even heard about–Jesus who would have vivid memories of him, his teaching, and even his death. The problem we face is that other than a basic framework in Paul's letters (which date back to the 50s CE)–i.e., references to Jesus being crucified, to Cephas, to James his brother, etc.–we have no eyewitness accounts or even contemporary secondary sources that give us anything about Jesus. There is simply no comparison in terms of historical sources and materials between what we have on JFK and what we have on Jesus.
What we have is a single source–the gospel we call Mark, which most of us date in the 70s CE. The problem with "Mark" is that the name is merely a traditional designation–it is not part of the ancient work itself–and the writer neither claims to be an eyewitness nor presents material that one might associate with eyewitness testimony.
Mark is a theological production–a highly self-conscious literary presentation of what the author represents as the "Gospel of Jesus Christ" (Mark 1:1, some manuscripts add "Son of God"). You might call it a "Drama about Jesus in three Acts" (roughly chapters 1-8a; 8b-10; 11-16). That does no mean it contains no history at all–indeed the basic narrative framework of Jesus in Galilee and Jerusalem is generally considered reliable by most critical historians. That would include Jesus growing up in Nazareth, associating with John the Baptizer, preaching an apocalyptic message of the imminence of the Kingdom of God, gathering together a group of followers, healing and casting out demons, and confronting the authorities in Jerusalem at Passover in 30 CE.
But Mark is far removed from the kind of memories one would encounter in interviewing people regarding what they remember about November 22, 1963–or even talking to those who actually knew President Kennedy in one capacity or another. There is plenty of myth, legend, and anecdote floating around–since Kennedy has become such an iconic figure–but no dearth of firsthand oral memory.
And that is what we don't have with Jesus. Mark was subsequently overwritten by Matthew, who used him as a source, reshaped his story considerably, and expanded it with blocks of "teaching" materials or "sayings" of Jesus that are not known to Mark. Matthew clearly has his own very theological agenda–and as with Mark, the name "Matthew" is a traditional association, not one inherent to the work itself. Despite the common assumption that he is an eyewitness (one of the Twelve!), the book itself never makes such a claim, and its content is never presented in the style of eyewitness material. Matthew's sayings material (most often called the Q source by scholars) seems to have a history that goes back earlier than Matthew's composition, but it is anonymous and amorphous, and much of it exists in a different version in Luke.
Scholars have expended an enormous amount of effort the past 50 years trying to systematically evaluate our gospel sources in an effort to get back to the historical Jesus. We don't all agree on our conclusions but the issues have been significantly sharpened and in some areas there is consensus. I would recommend first and foremost Dale Allison's works in this area, starting with his Jesus of Nazareth: Millennarium Prophet and then his more substantial work Constructing Jesus: Memory, Imagination, and History. The latter work is deals specifically with the question of what was remembered, by whom, and how was it passed on and shaped. The one central insight that many of us share, including my own take on Jesus in The Jesus Dynasty, is, to quote Dale Allison, "our choice is not between an apocalyptic Jesus and some other Jesus; it is between an apocalyptic Jesus and no Jesus at all."
It is this radical apocalyptic outlook that most heavily effects out ability to access "memories" of Jesus during the first 50 years. Not only was the world of 1st century Jewish Judea and Galilee utterly shattered by the Great War with Rome, but the hopes and expectations of the Jesus movement had utterly failed by 80 CE. What they most expected to happen never came–namely the "Coming of the Son of Man in the Clouds of Heaven," and what they least imagined came about–the triumph of the Roman Imperial "Beast" over all enemies and opposition. In my view the early followers of Jesus are best understood 50 years after his death as emerging through the crisis scholars have characterized as "When prophecy fails," brought on by the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. In my view S. G. F. Brandon's monumental work, The Fall of Jerusalem and the Christian Church is among the most important work in the field of Christian Origins. I have written extensively on this phenomenon of early Christian apocalypticism, see my blog post "Getting Up to Speed on Apocalypticism," here for some references and links.

Jawad Al Harake
The Independence Day
Today, I will proudly speak
Of how Lebanese reached the peak
And of how their leaders made the way
And changed history through Independence Day
In past, Lebanon was under France's control
The latter would order and Lebanon would obey the call
There was no real and total independence
'Decisions should be immediately taken hence'
Our leaders weren't satisfied with the situation
And took rebellion into consideration
Having an inner will and great great determination
Pushed them forward and provided them with motivation
Shouting out loud they asked for their freedom and rights
Lebanese folks went into streets demanding with all their might
To be free and independent once and for all
At last, after their rage exploded, they triumphantly achieved their goal
Since then, Lebanon enjoyed the sweet taste of being independent
With the French leaders' orders being to their nation sent
But still, that doesn't meant that French aren't welcome
For Lebanon is a country for all and not for some
So, let's rejoice this momentous date
By showing Lebanon our loyalty and joy great
And by letting unity be our only leader
And love and faith our only feeders
Topic(s): independence

Dodgers fan balks at the chance to have lunch with Frank McCourt
Mar 30, 2011, 10:05 AM EST
I gotta be honest: if John Malone, the CEO of Liberty Media — owner of my Atlanta Braves — invited me to have lunch with him, I'd probably balk too. I mean, really, what would we have to talk about? Our vast land holdings? Our fights with the FCC? The awkwardness of the fact that, in all likelihood, I know far more about the Atlanta Braves than he does? I mean, sure, if I could take him to Ted's Montana Grill and talk about its namesake like he was my ex-girlfriend, pining for the days when he ran my team it would be fun. But really, I'd probably give it a pass.
But do you do the same thing if you're a Dodgers fan? This guy did, according to Bill Plaschke of the L.A. Times:*
After all these years, Brian Gadinsky was invited to lunch with the owner of the Dodgers. And he turned it down. He turned it down for the same reason he had earlier trashed his season-ticket renewal notice, which led to the invitation in the first place. He turned it down because it would mean breaking bread with Frank McCourt, and he is done with Frank McCourt.
"My friends all asked me if I was crazy," Gadinsky said. "I told them, no, I am just tired. … I am tired of being loyal to a man who has not returned that loyalty."
I guess I can see that. Of course, given that this is likely the only shot Gadinsky will ever have to slip McCourt a mickey, he probably should reconsider.
*Note: Plaschke continues to be the world's worst abuser of the one-sentence paragraph writing style. Which is almost a awful as certain diseases, so when I block quote him I compress the paragraphs for readability. Bill: don't do this anymore. It does not add gravitas to your prose. It makes things harder to read. It tips us all off to the fact that you are tasked with filling column inches and not telling interesting stories. Which is a shame when, as you often do, you have an interesting story. Cut it out, OK?
- sdelmonte - Mar 30, 2011 at 10:18 AM
This begs the question of what owner fans would want to have lunch with. Nolan Ryan (and also MJ and Lemieux in their respective sports), but we wouldn't want to meet him because of what he owns. Hank Steinbrenner, if only to see if he channels his dad after a few drinks.
Is there anyone in baseball even remotely like Mark Cuban? I don't like him myself, but I bet he is never dull.
- phukyouk - Mar 30, 2011 at 10:30 AM
thank you for that Note craig. I had not even noticed it until you pointed it out. I will forever see it now. its like when my friend pointed out that the FedEx logo has an arrow betwen the "E" and "X".
- bcopus - Mar 30, 2011 at 12:09 PM
That exact same scenario happened to me a year ago, and I still wonder if it was a fluke accident and they went with it, or if they intentionally made an arrow…and why….
- Matt - Mar 30, 2011 at 10:31 AM
You expect me to believe that a blogger would turn down a free lunch? Fat chance.
- minnesconsin - Mar 30, 2011 at 11:08 AM
Can I also point out that the LAT's practice of interspersing random semi-related headlines throughout plaschke's "paragraphs" is perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever seen? You're reading along, in fits and starts (because that's how it reads, unfortunately), and then out of the blue you get 'Andre Ethier isn't sure of future with Dodgers ,' or 'Chad Billingsley reportedly signs three-year extension.' the fact that i actually mistook those links for plaschke-penned "paragraphs" says something…
- snowbirdgothic - Mar 30, 2011 at 11:11 AM
The poor guy was probably just afraid McCourt would stiff him with the check.
- Bob Timmermann - Mar 30, 2011 at 12:25 PM
One of the rites of spring in L.A. since the O'Malleys sold the team is for Plaschke to find a "disgruntled" fan and write a story about how bad the owners are.
- Charles Gates - Mar 30, 2011 at 12:42 PM
Insert obligatory joke about how Plaschke's 'column' is coming up a few inches short here.
- lanflfan - Mar 30, 2011 at 2:25 PM
As a Dodger fan, I wouldn't have turned it down. I might have made it a short lunch though, presenting my side of the divorce drama. I don't care what you or your gold-digger soon-to-be-ex do, your ONLY job is run this franchise right. Clearly, you have utterly and completely failed. Please sell now (BEFORE this year ends), to someone who wants to win and not use the team as their personal ATM. A few choice words more, and lunch probably would have been over. I might not have been full, but I sure would have been happy.
You don't give up chances like that.
- larryhockett - Mar 30, 2011 at 2:40 PM
Agreed. You don't have to like the guy to go to lunch with him. You cared enough about the team to get invited to the lunch but you don't care enough to go and tell the owner what you think? I'm not naive enough to think that any of this would have any real effect but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a sports fan.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Men's Hockey - The Best And Worst From Sochi
by Paul on 02/22/14 at 04:52 PM ET
Comments (2)
from Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun,
Here's a look at some of the highs and lows of the tournament:
Biggest Bust (team) -- Russia
The host nation didn't necessarily wilt under the pressure of playing on home ice, but had a game plan ill-equipped to face the international competition.
Defensively, the Russians were a disaster, shocking really given the demands of that aspect of the game on the bigger ice surface. Offensively, there was little relief either as Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and the rest of the Russian snipers.
Not that the Russians have been a force in recent years, but Sochi was supposed to be a chance to change those fortunes. Instead, the Russians bowed out in the quarterfinal. The scene following that lose was wild as Russian reporters lashed out at the coach and players.

The Russian collapse will be what is most remembered from this tournament, for a long long time.

As Ovechkin, Malkin and the rest did what?

It's kind of hard to take a writer's opinion seriously when he writes this poorly.

The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the Universe to do.
The house where I was born (04)
by Yves Bonnefoy
Another time.
It was still night. Water slid
Silently on the black ground,
And I knew that my only task would be
To remember, and I laughed,
I bent down, I took from the mud
A pile of branches and leaves,
I lifted up the whole dripping mass
In arms I held close to my heart.
What to do with this wood where
The sound of color rose from so much absence,
It hardly mattered, I went in haste, looking for
At least some kind of shed, beneath the load
Of branches that were full of
Rough edges, stabbing pains, points, cries.
And voices that cast shadows on the road,
Or called to me, and, my heart beating fast,
I turned around to face the empty road.

Half of IAG's claims settled or under way
Relevant offers
New Zealand's biggest insurer says about 52 per cent of its residential claims have been settled or are in progress, with priority now being given to ''vulnerable'' customers.
IAG says the other 48 per cent of the claims are queued in its rebuild and repair programme, due to begin between now and the last quarter of 2014.
The Australian ASX-listed IAG has about 7000 over-cap major repair or rebuild claims in Greater Christchurch.
Late last year, all IAG earthquake-affected customers were informed of the status of their properties, including timelines for reinstatement.
The customers come under State, NZI, Lantern Insurance and insurance programmes offered by the ASB, BNZ and The Co-operative Bank.
The first series of reinstatements for ''quarter one'' were under way, with all jobs due to begin within the next two years, based on customer priority, IAG said.
''We are prioritising the rebuild and repair of the homes of our worst-affected customers,'' it said.
''Priority is given to customers with uninhabitable houses first, then via a range of vulnerability factors similar to those used by the Red Cross. It is envisaged the claims of worst-affected customers will be resolved or well into the build phase this year.''
IAG Canterbury recovery executive general manager Dean MacGregor said the last residential repair or rebuild was scheduled to start no later than the last quarter of 2014, with the aim to complete the residential programme by December 2015.
So far the insurers had built 125 new homes and completed major repairs on 50 homes.
The new build time was about 42 weeks, accounting for planning and consenting, with about 22 weeks on site. The repair time averaged 38 weeks.
Preferred builders for the new-home projects included Mike Greer Homes, Stonewood Homes, Orange Homes, Jennian Homes, Versatile Homes, Golden Homes and Peter Ray Homes.
The insurer now had 588 new homes and 824 major repairs in some stage of construction.
''At peak, our programme will deliver 85 new homes a month and 150 major repairs, at a cost of $50 million per month,'' it said.
MacGregor said that in the insurer's commercial claims area, about 73 per cent of business interruption claims had been settled, with 57 per cent of commercial material damage claims settled.
Taking these two figures together, about 61 per cent of commercial claims had been settled.
In addition, IAG had about 20,000 non-Earthquake Commission claims.
These claims included claims for paths, driveways and fences.
In total, about 22 per cent of the non-EQC claims had been completed, he said.

A successive termination and elimination method for fast H.264/AVC SATD-based inter mode decisionPage(s): 165 - 176| Quick Abstract | PDF (565 KB)
A successive termination and elimination (STE) method to achieve fast inter mode decision is proposed. The termination detection starts from residual homogeneous detection and then spatial homogeneous detection is performed for each 16 times 16 macroblock. For either the residual or spatial homogeneous case, the authors can directly terminate the inter prediction and choose the 16 times 16 mode as the best inter mode. For non-homogeneous cases, the authors then carry out the 8 times 8 subblock motion estimation. Based on the cost analyses of the 8times8 and 16 times 16 modes, the elimination detection method, which could help to remove unlikely 8 times 16 and 16 times 8 modes, is also suggested. Similarly, the STE method for each 8times8 block can also be applied to decide if the inter prediction needs to be further performed for smaller subblocks. Once the algorithm reaches the termination stage, the best inter mode will be decided by selecting the least cost among all searched modes. Experimental results reveal that the proposed STE method can save about 56% of coding time in inter prediction with a slight performance degradation compared with the original method proposed by JM10.1 and outperforms some existing methods in both coding performance and coding time.

Target tracking with two passive infrared non-imaging sensorsPage(s): 177 - 188| Quick Abstract | PDF (312 KB)
A new solution for target tracking in air space with two infrared (IR) sensors is presented. The principle of triangulation is used as a basic method for range estimation. However, when the target directions are nearly collinear relative to the baseline, this method produces unacceptable results. The problem is solved by introducing the ratio of IR energy adsorbed at the end of a baseline in a measurement vector within the extended Kalman filter type target state estimator. Also, a recursive estimator for the extinction coefficient that describes the influence of the atmosphere is designed. This combination results in a new adaptive structure for simultaneous estimation of target kinematic states and atmospheric parameters. Such a structure performs much better than the standard triangulation method, yielding acceptable results even in the case where target directions are close to the baseline. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and limitations of the proposed approach. View full abstract»
Multiple frame size and rate analysis for speaker recognition under limited data conditionPage(s): 189 - 204| Quick Abstract | PDF (311 KB)
This work demonstrates the usefulness of multiple frame size and rate (MFSR) analysis for speaker recognition under limited data condition. Present day speaker recognition systems assume the availability of sufficient data for modelling and testing. Owing to this, speech signals are analysed with fixed frame size and rate, which may be termed as single frame size and rate (SFSR) analysis. In the limited data condition available training and testing data is small. If we use SFSR analysis, then it may not provide sufficient feature vectors to train and test the speaker. Further, insufficient feature vectors lead to poor speaker modelling during training and may not yield reliable decision during testing. As part of analysis, we demonstrate the use of multiple frame size (MFS), multiple frame rate (MFR) and MFSR analysis techniques for speaker recognition under limited data condition. These techniques are specifically useful to mitigate the sparseness of limited feature vectors during training and testing. These techniques produce relatively more number of feature vectors. This helps in better modelling and testing under limited data conditions. The experimental results show that use of MFS, MFR and MFSR analysis improves the performance significantly compared to SFSR analysis. The MFSR analysis even outperforms the Gaussian mixture model-universal background model (GMM-UBM) performance, the most widely used modelling technique. View full abstract»
Statistical model-based voice activity detection using support vector machinePage(s): 205 - 210| Quick Abstract | PDF (433 KB)
From an investigation of a statistical model-based voice activity detection (VAD), it is discovered that a simple heuristic way like a geometric mean has been adopted for a decision rule based on the likelihood ratio (LR) test. For a successful VAD operation, the authors first review the behaviour mechanism of support vector machine (SVM) and then propose a novel technique, which employs the decision function of SVM using the LRs, while the conventional techniques perform VAD comparing the geometric mean of the LRs with a given threshold value. The proposed SVM-based VAD is compared to the conventional statistical model-based scheme, and shows better performances in various noise environments. View full abstract»
Design of non-uniform filter bank transmultiplexer with canonical signed digit filter coefficientsPage(s): 211 - 220| Quick Abstract | PDF (436 KB)
Design of non-uniform filter bank transmultiplexer (NUFB TMUX) with canonical signed digit (CSD) coefficients is presented. NUFB TMUX is preferred in a multicarrier communication system when applications with different data rates are to be multiplexed. If the filter coefficients are represented in CSD format, the hardware complexity of the NUFB TMUX can be reduced. A continuous coefficient NUFB TMUX is designed and the coefficients of the filters are synthesised in CSD format using genetic algorithm (GA). Separate objective functions are formulated for the fitness evaluation of the filters. Chromosomes are encoded as ternary digit strings. New crossover and mutation techniques are introduced to preserve the canonical property of the signed power of two (SPT) representations. For the fast convergence of the GA, position-dependent probability of mutation is used. Simulation results show that the CSD coefficient NUFB TMUX designed using the proposed algorithm has better signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) than that of continuous coefficient NUFB TMUX and CSD coefficient NUFB TMUX obtained by rounding. Frequency responses of its filters are better than that of the filters in CSD coefficient NUFB TMUX obtained by rounding and comparable with that of continuous coefficient NUFB TMUX.

Unitary spherical esprit: 2-d angle estimation with spherical arrays for scalar fieldsPage(s): 221 - 231| Quick Abstract | PDF (659 KB)
The authors consider the problem of two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival estimation of multiple plane waves incident on a spherical array. We propose a novel subspace technique that provides automatically paired source azimuth and elevation estimates relying on a spherical phase-mode excitation approach. The algorithm is remarkable for the low computational complexity and enhanced performance in correlated source scenarios by relying on a real beamspace approach, which allows forward-backward averaging. Moreover, the technique yields very accurate estimates by including spherical phase modes of different orders. This is demonstrated by comparing the mean error of the angle estimates obtained by spherical ESPRIT and the corresponding Cramer Rao bounds. View full abstract»

- Email | Twitter
This week's list of banks' market share percentages list looks very similar to last year's list. In fact, the top eight banks are ranked exactly as they were in 2011. The list is based on year-end 2011 reports published by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Among the top five banks, Intrust and Emprise Bank each gained a percentage point in 2011 over 2010. Bank of America dropped a little more than 1 percentage point, and Fidelity dropped by a little over half a point.
The April 20 edition of the paper also features a list of the top 25 Wichita-area banks ranked by consolidated assets.
Here's a look at the top five banks on the market share percentage list:
1. Intrust Bank
• Address: 105 N. Main, Wichita, Kan. 67202
• Phone: 383-1234, website: www.intrustbank.com
• Top local executive: Charlie Chandler
• Market share percentage: 22.61
2. Bank of America NA
• Address: 100 N. Broadway, Wichita, Kan. 67202

James McDonald caught a glimpse yesterday of what it would be like to win the race that has inspired him since he was a child.
In his first ride in a Melbourne Cup, McDonald, 20, guided the Gai Waterhouse-trained British import Fiorente into second place behind Green Moon, ridden by Brett Prebble.
The Sydney-based Cambridge jockey earned A$45,000 (NZ$56,700) for his work and said the experience had been like no other but his overriding emotion immediately after the race was one of disappointment.
"I'm gutted to be honest," he said. "I've prepared for this race as much as for any race I've ever ridden in. Mentally I've given it my all and I'm just drained at the moment. It might be a bit different if I'd won. But first ride in the Melbourne Cup and I've run second so I can't be too disappointed."
Fiorente was slow away but from barrier two McDonald was able to press forward and settled in eighth place with an economical run.
However, he was lamenting unwanted inward movement from Sanagas with 600 metres to run, just as he had angled three wide to slide forward.
That meant Fiorente was unable to angle clear when McDonald wanted and he held his line on the corner before getting into the clear with 350m to run.
McDonald's handling of Fiorente earned Waterhouse's praise. "He's one of the most fantastic jockeys to come out of the land of the long white cloud since Shane Dye. He rode him a treat," Waterhouse said.
"Fiorente got held up a touch at the top of the straight and it probably cost him the race. I loved the way he extended late but the other horse had got away on us. I've just messaged [winning owner] Lloyd Williams and said 'it's your shout - make sure you bring the cup on Wednesday night at dinner'."
A special bond between the first jockeys was evident as McDonald congratulated Prebble after they crossed the line yesterday. Apart from being the first two home and having ridden against each in Hong Kong, Prebble was something of an idol of McDonald's after he had visited the training stables of his father, Brett McDonald, about 10 years ago. The pair were photographed together and Prebble gave a 10-year-old McDonald one of his whips.
"It was a Sunline whip and I was tickled pink to get it," McDonald said last night.
McDonald's day ended on a sour note when he was suspended for 14 meetings for causing interference 600m from home in the cup.
McDonald said it was not his fault and had appealed against the suspension.
Should he fail to get the sentence reduced, he will miss the ride on Pure Elegance in the Group I 1000 Guineas at Riccarton on November 17 and in Hong Kong the following day when he is booked to ride Champions Mile winner Xtension.

The tents are going up, the tarpaulins are out and the umbrellas are dotted around the Bowl.
The second day of Womad New Zealand got off to a wet start at the TSB Bowl of Brooklands today.
Despite the intermittent rain and the threat of Cyclone Lusi, enthusiastic Womadians are flooding in the gates.
Taranaki's Nicky Farquhar was busting out a dance to the opening act of the day - Airileke.
The lively and beat-filled band, from Papua New Guinea and Australia started the second day with a bang, he said.
"They're awesome," he said.
The 36-year-old and his family had set up a tent and were camping out under a tree in the Bowl.
"This is going to keep us all dry and at the night the kids can have a little sleep in there and be nice and cosy," he said.
Mr Farquhar said he'd checked the weather forecast "a thousand times" this week and wasn't concerned about Cyclone Lusi hitting Womad.
"We are really sheltered here. It won't eventuate to much."
Scottish band Breabach and musician Danyel Waro have just taken to the stages and will play until 2pm.
One to watch out for this afternoon is New Zealand band Weird Together at 3pm on the Gables Stage.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. announced that Kenneth A. May has resigned as president and chief operating officer, a position he held for less than five months.
James H. Morgan, Jr., the North Carolina-based company's chief executive officer, has reassumed the role of company president effectively immediately.
A company press release did not elaborate on why May, who joined Krispy Kreme (NYSE: KKD) in November, resigned, other than to say that he is leaving for "personal reasons."
"We think well of Ken and wish him the very best," Morgan said in a statement.
At the time of his hiring, Krispy Kreme touted May's 25 years of operational, retail, supply chain and brand experience. He previously served as president and chief executive officer of FedEx Kinko's, now Dallas-based FedEx Office.
Krispy Kreme has two restaurants in Austin and one in San Marcos. Its products are also sold in 7-Eleven convenience stores.

Barbadians are truly becoming crime stoppers. In the last three years, civic minded Bajans, through their tips to Crime Stoppers Barbados, have been responsible for the solving of more than 100 crimes.This was revealed today by Devrol Dupigny, Executive Director of Crime Stoppers Barbados. In addition, local tipsters have led to the Royal Barbados Police Force making 57 arrests and 113 charges being laid though 1 041 tips since Crime Stoppers was launched in Barbados three years go. According to Dupigny, the success rate has improved because Barbadians are no long skeptic about their identity being leaked should they provide Crime Stoppers with information that leads to persons being arrested, charged or incarcerated. Dupigny made the revelations while launching Crime Stoppers' new website, and at the same time announcing that Barbados had been chosen as the venue for Crime Stoppers' 34th annual training conference, which comes off at the Hilton Barbados from September 29 to October 2 next year.

I am new on here and I just thought that I would just start a topic so here it is....How have you adapted to your DH's friends? What is your impression of them? My DH and I were talking about this earlier and I found that his friends were rather interesting and fun to be around when we were dating but now most of them have families of their own and really don't have the time to socialize but other than that they were pretty fun to be around.
DH's friends?

When DH and I first started dating, we were still in HS. I actually become quite close to his friends, and I was essentially "in their circle". I hung out with them, even when DH wasn't there (guy and girl friends), and we were really good friends even outside of DH. But...DH and I were the first out of that group to get married, and also the first to have a kid. They started distancing themselves to us during the wedding plans (one of his friends was in my wedding party, and let's just say...there were problems...). I could already tell they were starting to feel different and they were treating us differently even before the "I Do's" were spoken. When our DD was born the following August, the break was complete. None of them wanted anything to do with us, e-mails and phone calls went unreturned. It was quite different than the relationship we all had even just two years prior. So...I guess you could say that I like them and they were fun to be around, but they weren't interested in anything that involved the "adult" side of life and dropped us like two hot tamales as soon as we couldn't go out drinking every Friday night anymore.
If I knew I couldn't pull it off, I might stick with a lame excuse, too.
Posted 04/01/2008
My husband is a very social person at work and while he is out but when he is off, he is a stay at home kinda man. He's very family oriented and doesn't do anything socially outside of the house unless I am with him. We had some mutual friends that we used to hang out with but they have a child and some family issues they are working on so we've gotten quite distant lately.

I think most of the time it is like my momma used to say (especially in High School) is that sometimes you grow apart when you grow up and I know that with several of my friends in school that is what happened and I think it happened for me that way because I had COMPLETELY different priorities than they did. Eva- I hope their family issues get better, I know its hard to have family issues but I think we all have them, its part of life.
Posted 04/01/2008
Yeah, that's exactly what it was. DH and I had our priorities at home, making our family and keeping our family happy. They...well, they were typical college kids. Not that it's a bad thing, but they were just at a completely different place in their lives. (DH and I got married when I was 22, and he was 23 and we were the same ages when I had DD). I do have one very good friend, she and I have known each other since we were ten, and the three of us have stayed really close. Her BF has also joined our little group, and the four of us get together and are fairly close :). We do have co-workers we occasionally hang out with...but not "friends" in that HS sense of the word, kwim?
If I knew I couldn't pull it off, I might stick with a lame excuse, too.
Posted 04/01/2008
My Dh friends are all online through the Xbox so I don't have to deal with them, lol. No all our friends were still into partying and all that good stuff while we were getting married and having kids so we all grew apart. Keep in mind I was 15 and Joe was 19, so go figure. But now the few I consider friends, same with hubby, are still into different things than us. I guess you could say we have old fashioned family values and morals, where they are still wanting to party and stuff. I have better friends that I have made on here than I do in my "real" world. God I hope that don't sound as pathetic as I think it does. LOL!

100 years since Booker T. Washington's historic visit to the Mormons
Prominent educator, author, speaker visited Salt Lake 100 years ago
Associated Press
In late March 1913, the most prominent African-American of his generation, Booker T. Washington, traveled cross-country to, in his words, "get right into the midst of the Mormons to see what kind of people they are, what they look like, what they are doing, and in what respect they are succeeding."
During his two-day stay in Salt Lake City, the renowned educator, author and speaker met with local leaders, attended receptions in his honor and spoke to educators, University of Utah students and the city's African-American community.
What he found is captured, in part, in a 2,000-word account that he wrote for the New York Age, one of the leading African-American newspapers of the first half of the 20th century. What local residents found out about Washington is noted in Utah newspapers dating to the week of his visit.
From these sources emerge two, mutually flattering portraits informed by sincerity and a touch of self-interest. Placed in the context of its time by present-day historians, this singular event retains significance even 100 years later.
Mutual admiration society
"They have certainly made the desert blossom as a rose," Washington recorded after his trip. "I have never been among a more intelligent, healthy, clean, progressive, moral set of people than these people are .
"It has been my privilege to address schools and universities in nearly every part of America, and I say without hesitation that I have never addressed a college anywhere where the students were more alert, more responsive, more intelligent than is true of the students in these Mormon colleges."
The effusive praise went both ways.
On March 31, 1913, the University of Utah Chronicle reported: "Greeted by vociferous applause and the largest audience which has attended assembly this year, Booker T. Washington, the renowned Negro writer, orator and educator, appeared before the University Faculty and students Thursday morning.
"The genuine reception accorded him was so increased by appreciation of his talk that at its conclusion he was called back again to the platform."
Washington's visit was a long time coming, according to Max Mueller, a Ph.D. candidate in religion at Harvard University.
Mueller, who is the author of a forthcoming paper titled "Booker T. Washington's March 1913," said that more than 10 years before the leader's visit, the Deseret News and other Utah newspapers began printing glowing reports of Tuskegee Institute, the Alabama teachers college that Washington founded and led from 1881 until his death in 1915.
"The accounts sound much like the industrious Saints themselves," Mueller said. "So many suits made, so many bushels of hay, etc."
In 1911, the superintendent of Salt Lake City schools visited Tuskegee and subsequently invited Washington to come west to speak.
"What I think is really of interest is that what we have is a mutual admiration society between Booker T. Washington and the saints in Utah, " said Mueller.
"There was a camaraderie, a kinship, an admiration of economic self-sufficiency, up-by-your bootstraps independence, but the saints weren't looking to back African American political equality," Mueller said, emphasizing the context of the times.
The camaraderie and warmth came in spite of the fact that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints did not, at that time, allow its members of African descent to be ordained to the priesthood.

South Africa Under-19s 211 for 1 (Coetzee 103*, Fortuin 99) beat England Under-19s 210 for 8 (Sibley 84) by nine wickets
Murray Coetzee and Clyde Fortuin blazed South Africa to a series whitewash-clinching nine-wicket victory in the final match of the England tour. Their stand of 199 - the third highest for South Africa in Youth ODIs - made a mockery of the target and the pace at which the chase was completed, 6.29 an over, saw a one-sided series finished with a rout.
Coetzee completed his hundred, his second of the season, with a swept four and then scored the winning runs with a loft over mid-off two balls later. He took the applause but was overshadowed by 17-year-old Clyde Fortuin who struck 16 fours in reaching 99 from 79 balls before pulling to midwicket in search of a century. The pair deserved to complete the win together but Fortuin's dismissal afforded Coetzee enough remaining runs to reach his landmark.
The solitary success was no more than a delay in leaving the field for England who competed well in the Youth Test series but have been exposed in the one-day leg. Again they scored too slowly despite a solid base. Opener Dominic Sibley compiled 84 in 142 balls and shared 136 with Ed Barnard who made 53. But England's middle order failed to find any other contributions and the final 10 overs of the innings saw little acceleration and wickets fallings too regularly.
