Jilted mistresses expose Chinese corruption
The latest is a 26-year-old named Ji Yingnan, who says she discovered at the end of last year that her fiance, a powerful Communist Party official in Beijing, had been married with a teenage son the entire time they were together.
In recent weeks, Ji has released hundreds of photos online that give a rare window into the life of a Chinese central government official who - despite his modest salary - was apparently able to lavish his mistress with luxury cars, go on shopping sprees at Prada and tuck more than $1,000 in cash into Ji's purse every day when they first met.
"I never imagined that the one I loved so much, the one I gave so much love to, the one who lived four years with me, would become my enemy one day," said Ji on a recent rainy evening at a 24-hour KFC near her apartment, where she says she stays holed up for days at a time.
Ji put her head in her hands. "It is terrifying to experience this kind of relationship," she said.
After years in which Communist Party officials were considered untouchable, evidence of their foibles now regularly spills onto the Internet. Government censors often try to stamp out the news, but officials plagued by sex scandals - usually at lower levels of the party - are also being pushed out as the country's new leaders try to prove they're serious about punishing misconduct.
A powerful energy official, Liu Tienan, lost his job in May after his former mistress told a journalist that Liu had defrauded banks out of $200 million. Last year, a sex video showing a Chongqing district party chief with a woman who was not his wife was leaked online, forcing the official, Lei Zhengfu, to step down from his post.
Ji identified her former lover as Fan Yue, a deputy director at the State Administration of Archives. He is now under investigation, according to a staffer there who declined to give his name. "We don't have further information to release," the staffer said. "We will make an announcement when there is a resolution."
It was not possible to reach Fan for comment. His cellphone number appears to have been disconnected.
A well-known Chinese blogger who has posted Ji's photos and videos on his Web site said he spoke with Fan last month. Fan told the blogger he didn't spend as much money as Ji was claiming, saying it was less than $1.7 million but more than $500,000. "This woman is not good. She is too greedy," the blogger, Zhu Ruifeng, said Fan told him. "I couldn't handle her. So I had to leave her."
Political scandals centered onmistresses - who are known as "xiao san" or "little third" in Chinese slang - have become so common that the party's official daily newspaper ran an editorial in May saying the country cannot rely on spurned lovers alone to expose its corruption problems.
"Some people have said that the anti-corruption departments at all levels perform worse than the mistresses," said the editorial in the People's Daily. "Although it's a joke, it reflects a serious question: Whom should the anti-corruption effort depend on?"
The question has taken on a new urgency as Xi, who took power in March, has vowed to root out crooked officials both powerful and lowly, or as he put it, "tigers" and "flies."
"Every country has sex scandals. Just look at the United States and Bill Clinton," said Deng Xiaogang, a sociology professor at the University of Massachusetts in Boston. "But this is different because of China's political environment. ⅛The officials€ are using public money."
Ji has perhaps gone further than any of the spurned mistresses.
She has made dozens of CDs containing photos and videos of her relationship, handing them out at the front gates of Zhongnanhai, central headquarters of the Chinese Communist Party.
The photos, now plastered all over the Internet in China, look like ordinary mementos from a happy relationship. But they also capture the extravagant lifestyle of the ruling elite in a country with rampant income inequality.
For example: shopping sprees with Ji posing in blue fur and pearls, as Fan shows off a receipt for their big purchases. A birthday celebration where he proposed marriage to Ji, who is wearing a gold crown and sequined dress. The couple standing on the bow of a ship with arms outstretched, re-creating the scene from the movie "Titanic."
Ji said the two met at a restaurant on Ji's birthday in June 2009, when she turned 22 and Fan was 37. He wasn't like the men her age, she said. He had manners. When they talked, they seemed to share the same values. Fan told her he worked in information technology, she said.
From the start, it was obvious he had money.
The first time they went shopping, Ji said, the couple went to Prada and paid $10,000 for a skirt, a purse and a scarf. A month after they met, Fan rented an apartment for them that cost $1,500 a month and spent more than $16,000 on bedsheets, home appliances, an Apple desktop and a laptop, according to Ji. Then he bought her a silver Audi A5, priced in the United States at about $40,000, she said.
There were trips to beach resorts in Hainan, a beautiful island off the southern coast of China. On another trip to Prada, Fan spent more than $33,000 on his fiancee and her sister, according to Ji.
"He put cash into my purse every day," said Ji in a letter to the Communist Party complaining about Fan's behavior. It was for "daily use, buying clothes and going out for fun."
Ji said she spent her days cleaning their home, folding her boyfriend's socks and waiting patiently for him to come home. He was home with her at least five or six nights a week, said Ji. When he didn't come back at night, he said it was because he was working late and needed to sleep over in the office, she said.
A year after they met, Ji found Fan's work ID card while sorting his clothes. That's when, she says, she learned he worked for the central government.
"I didn't know exactly what his job was," Ji said. "He told me his position was confidential."
The source of the money was clear, though: three businessmen who spent time with Ji and Fan and who would sometimes directly route money to Ji's bank account, she said. It was not clear what the men may have hoped to gain from Fan; Ji said he didn't discuss work matters with her.
The businessmen, whom Ji identified as Jin Zhong, Chen Guiyang and Ye Zhenbo, could not be reached for comment, although Ji has records of text messages from one of the men since the scandal broke, demanding she return all the money that was spent.
After the couple had been engaged for more than a year, Ji began pressing her fiance on why they weren't planning a wedding, she said. In China, it's also traditional for couples to purchase real estate before getting married. Fan resisted buying a home for them, she said.
Finally, at the end of last year, he confessed to having a family, Ji said.
"I felt I was a princess living in a fairy tale. But now, I don't believe anyone," said Ji, wearing a simple white top, cropped jeans and a pair of pink and white Crocs. (She says she no longer wants to wear the luxury clothes the couple bought together.)
"Fan Yue's case is very unique," said Zhu, the blogger."Everyone knows the corrupted officials have mistresses, but few of the mistresses will pop up in front of the public."
Ji, who spoke with fierce determination, said that all she wants is for Fan to apologize to her in person - and for her experience to cause the government to crack down harder on corruption.
"People's awareness is becoming stronger," she added. "People won't believe what they're told as easily. In the era of the Internet, the government cannot hide things from people."

"When Luigi, the homebody leaf, decides to take a giant step and explore beyond the boughs of his comfort zone, the world opens to him. With the encouragement of the evergreen sage, Luigi puts his fears aside, and lets the breeze carry him far and wide. Luigi's journey comes alive through Trish Trinco's gentle rhymes. Bryan Langdo's bold illustrations show us that branching out isn't so scary if we know the warmth and safety of home and friends are only a whiff of wind away. "
– Bev Denor, LaDeDa Books, Manitowoc, WI
"THE LEAF THAT WOULDN'T LEAVE is a sweet children's book that teaches there is a time for everything."
– Bob Spear, The Book Barn, Leavenworth, KS
"Children's books with an inspirational message can be difficult to 'pull off,' but Trinco manages to do it, and the result is a special book that is worth keeping in the family library…… Children will be inspired by Luigi, and it just might make it a little bit easier for them to take a chance on change. The illustrations are delightful and will keep the kids coming back to read THE LEAF THAT WOULDN'T LEAVE again and again."
– Andrea Sisco, Minneapolis Author Insight Examiner *
The dentist. A visit to the hospital. Kindergarten. A move. It takes incredible courage to welcome life's changes with open arms. THE LEAF THAT WOULDN'T LEAVE explains to young readers that it is natural to feel apprehensive when facing a new experience and that making a leap of faith into the unknown has its own rewards.
The book's hero, Luigi, is the last colorful leaf on the tree and feels anxious about leaving the familiarity of his branch. Luigi ultimately takes a chance and discovers an amazing world waiting for him beyond the borders of his beloved backyard. Luigi inspires children to embrace change and look for the joy and satisfaction that comes with new opportunities and experiences.
Publisher Brett Waldman is "thrilled to welcome author Trish Trinco and illustrator Bryan Langdo to the TRISTAN family. The collaboration process has been exciting, and we look forward to sharing THE LEAF THAT WOULDN'T LEAVE with our readers."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR and ILLUSTRATOR
Trinco's love for children's stories began when she was a child herself in Minot, North Dakota. After every visit from the Bookmobile in summertime, Trish and her sisters would settle under their family's big willow tree in the backyard to read each exciting new story.
Trish continued to nurture her writing skills in Creative Writing classes and by working in her local library while in high school. She attended Brown Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota, studying radio broadcasting. Throughout the years Trish enjoyed opportunities to interact with young readers as she worked in the broadcasting field in cities across the country including Minneapolis, San Francisco, Dallas and Denver.
THE LEAF THAT WOULDN'T LEAVE is Trish's first published title and is inspired by a brave little yellow leaf that flew into her car window one sunny autumn afternoon.
Trish Trinco lives in Colorado Springs with her shaggy dog Maggie and her parakeet Luciano.
Bryan Langdo, Illustrator
As a young boy, Langdo studied with author/illustrator Robert J. Blake, where he learned about drawing, design, and the whole book making process. It was during this time that the seeds were planted for Langdo to create his own books someday.
After high school, Langdo attended The Art Student's League of New York. There he studied life drawing, first with Jack Henderson, and then with Michael Burban. He also studied painting with Harvey Dinnerstein. Langdo's first published book was The Dog Who Loved the Good Life, and the latest addition to his collection of illustrated works is THE LEAF THAT WOULDN'T LEAVE.
Langdo lives in Upstate New York with wife, Nikki, and their son Oliver.

Six million tonne steel plant and 1,000-MW thermal power plant will be set up about 200 km away from the Hajigak mines
The SAIL-led consortium, which has bagged rights for three iron ore mines in Hajigak in Afghanistan, will spend about $11 billion on infrastructure creation, mining and setting up a 6-million tonne steel plant and a 1,000-MW thermal power plant.
Establishment of the steel plant, which will be situated about 200 km away from the three Hajigak mines, would depend on the availability of inputs such as coking coal and limestone, which were to be ensured by the Afghan Government, Steel Authority of India Chairman C. S. Verma said here.
"Now, if we consider everything is in place like we get the coking coal and limestone mines, then the total investment in the entire project would be $11 billion, which would be spent over ten years,'' he added. There were enough reserves for coking coal and limestone in Afghanistan, he added.
The immediate plan for the consortium is to carry out a geological study of the mines over three years at an investment of $75 million. The cumulative reserves of the three mines are estimated at around 1.28 billion tonnes.
Given the restrictions imposed on Indian financial institutions with respect to providing funds to a venture in Afghanistan, a country that falls in the negative list, the consortium has already written to the government seeking sovereign funds. "We need some funds from the government. Afghanistan falls in the negative list and no financial institutions will take the exposure. It will be difficult for the consortium members to put in such an amount on their own from their reserves. So we need government assistance and aid,'' Mr. Verma said. He said the steel plant would be built in two equal phases of three million tonnes each. All the seven consortium members — SAIL, JSW Steel, NMDC, JSW Steel, JSW Ispat, Jindal Steel and Power and Monnet Ispat and Energy — will make a contribution proportionate to their stake in the venture towards the $75 million investment for detailed exploration of the mines.
The members would meet within a week to deliberate on the future course of action and the first round of talks with the Afghan Government would start within a month.
The project is expected to provide direct employment to 8,000 people and 40,000 people indirectly. The consortium would also set up a 200-km long railroad, connecting the mines and the proposed steel plant, he said.
Keywords: SAIL, iron ore mining, Hajigak mines

Founded in 1924, the Boston Bruins are the oldest NHL team in the U.S. The Bruins were one of the Original Six franchise teams in the league, along with the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Chicago Blackhawks,
Detroit Redwings
and Montreal Canadiens.
The team's original colors were brown and yellow, a scheme that represented their bear-like title. The Bruins began playing home games at the Boston Garden in 1928, and continued playing there for 67 seasons until 1995. The 1928-1929 season would also mark the team's first Stanley Cup victory. During the 1929-1930 season, the team boasted a league record for highest regular season winning percentage, 0.875, the best season in NHL history to date.
Several of the Bruins' prominent players of the era enlisted during WWII after the team won the Stanley Cup at the end of the 1940-41 season. The Bruins struggled from the late 1940s through the late 1960s, though the team still managed to make three appearances in the Stanley Cup finals during this period. In the mid 1950s, the Bruins were the first team to start using the now ubiquitous Zamboni.
For the first time in nearly three decades, the Bruins brought home the Stanley Cup in 1970. The team won the trophy again in 1972 and 2011, making them Stanley Cup champions six times since 1924. The Bruins again advanced through the playoffs to the Stanley Cup finals in 2013, but lost to bitter rivals the Chicago Blackhawks.
Notable former Bruins players include Eddie Shore, Bobby Orr, Milt Schmidt, Ray Bourque and Johnny Bucyk.
The Bruins have played at TD Garden since 1995. The arena is also home to the Boston Celtics. TD Garden can hold nearly 18,000 hockey fans. The Sports Museum of New England is also located within the facility. Buy your Bruins tickets now to see this historic NHL team play at TD Garden!

Recent Dingle Peninsula Reviews
There Should be a 6 Star Rating for This Gem
Our family of 7 could not have stayed at a more beautiful place in all of Ireland. The pictures cannot do it justice as its location is amazing! The view from Eask Tower (just down the lane) is stunning and so is every view of Dingle Harbour from this house. Declan was an extreme gentleman; above and beyond helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. The house is immaculate and so well equipped, including a large grill to cook the fish that we caught. The town of Dingle was loaded with great food, great pubs, wonderful people and music. Who knew that Ireland has such beautiful beaches? We miss everything about this place. We've already recommended this home to family and friends, and plan to be back in the very near future.

Keywords: Studio, Centrally located, Wooded, Convenient, Close to National Parks
We stayed for 5 days with our 3kids. Place was so cute and my kids loved it! It had everything we needed! Did all our breakfasts and dinners there. Kids loved the wi-fi. Great location for so many places! We did Bryce, red canyon , escalate and Kodachrome to the north, zion, coral pink sand dunes to the south and all of the great forest hikes and lakes right behind in the Dixie forest. Cedar breaks was closed but in summer I'll bet it is all amazing! Could not have been happier! Store did not bother us at all and it was nice to have the convienance and the staff was helpful!
We visited Zion then booked a stay at the King Studio before heading onto Bryce the following morning. The place was perfect. Spotlessly clean. The owner was very helpful, even when I changed my plans last minute. Beautiful view of the stars from the little patio. One recommendation, eat in Zion or Bryce before heading out to this location. Very remote and the little store closed at 8:30. Also watch out for wildlife on the road.
Perfect little home base to explore southern Utah! All the conveniences are downstairs and after a day hiking the parks its nice to unload right at the back door.
We really, really, really enjoyed staying at this studio. Sure we heard some noise from the store, but after a couple of days we got used to it. The studio worked out perfectly for us, after we got used to the slanted walls that bonked our heads a few times. We loved being able to pull right up to the front door and load and unload, the fact that there was gas and supplies right downstairs, and that it was pretty much equipped with everything we would need for a few days (even Wi-Fi most of the time). All in all, the room worked perfectly for us and was at such a bargain rate that we felt like we hit the jackpot! It is just under an hour to Zion or Bryce, but we would definitely stay here again if we ever get the chance to visit Utah again!
My wife and I spent seven nights here and loved it. The studio was exactly as described. We're not into fancy hotels with mints on the pillow. We just needed a comfortable, centrally located base for our adventures to the area parks. We heard a little bit of noise from downstairs, but nothing that disturbed us. I have heard much worse in hotel rooms. Knowing that they were making homemade cinnamon rolls and bread for the steak sandwiches actually made us glad for the minor rattling of pans. Absolutely plan on eating in the Chevron one evening. The sandwiches were great. Then go eleven miles north to Cafe Adobe and eat there. I highly recommend staying here.
This place is clean and quiet (except for opening and closing of the store below, a very brief time each day). The kitchen area is very basic but you can still make meals with a combination of the charcoal grill and a two burner hot plate. Tiny refrigerator with no ice, but you can get ice from the store downstairs. You can literally park right outside your door, making it very convenient to load and unload. The ceilings slope on each side of the unit, and the bed is tucked under the slope. Just remember that when you get up in the middle of the night! At this price, it is not a bad deal, much nicer than a motel room. Although the property is centrally located between Bryce and Zion, it is not close to either. Allow an hour to drive to either park. Also bring food because you are several miles from any restaurant or supermarket. The store downstairs has basics--you won't starve but you won't have a three course meal either. I was unable to reach the owner the entire five days we were there, and there were a couple of issues we just had to live with. No help from the personnel in the downstairs store either. By the time we left, we had fixed the faucet in the bathroom that was almost entirely blocked, and we had to reach down inside the toilet tank and manually lift the valve to make the toilet flush.

European Commission grants 26 Filipinos scholarships
More News from Julliane Love de Jesus
MANILA, Philippines—Twenty-six Filipino students were awarded by the European Commission graduate school scholarships under the Erasmus Mundus Programme.
This month, MA and Ph.D. scholars will fly to various European Union (EU) member states for the scholarship.
Charges d' Affaires ad interim Lubomir Frebort of the EU Delegation to the Philippines urged the scholars to become ambassadors of goodwill, strengthening the friendships and partnership between European member countries and Philippines.
Frebort said that since 2004, the EU has spent P228 million to provide opportunites for outstanding students and lecturers to study in Europe.
The scholarship includes air travel to Europe, tuition fees and a monthly living allowance for the students starting at P55,000 up to P138.000, he said in a statement.
Among the partner schools are Ateneo de Manila University, the University of the Philippines and the Visayas State University.
A send-off reception, which was graced by Erasmus Mundus alumni to share their Europe scholarship experiences, was hosted by the commission last August 28.
During the reception, Frebort also announced the conduct of the third European Higher Education Fair on October 15 in Makati City.
Acording to the EU delegation officer, the education fair would enable Filipinos to access more information about education programs from European higher education institutions coming to Manila.
In the statement released by the EU public affairs office, the Erasmus Mundus Programme was among the leading academic mobility programs worldwide.
It is a cooperation and mobility program in the field of higher education that aims to encourage students from outside Europe to take advanced degrees in the EU, which promotes dialogue and understanding among the youth around the world and strengthening the global links of European higher education, said the statement.

That Buzzing Sound
By Jerome Groopman
I noticed the sound one evening about a year ago. At first, I thought an alarm had been set off. Then I realized that the noise—a high-pitched drone—was mainly in my right ear. It has been with me ever since. The tone varies, from a soft whoosh like a shower to a piercing screech…

Hey guys, first time poster here. I have a quesion... I did a search but could not find anything concrete. Apologies if I missed it!
I want to play a "Frozen Solid" Attachment on my opponent's "Bodyguard" attatchment. My opponent is telling me that I can't do this as the bodyguard has text that reads "Limit one per character" and my "Frozen Solid" card says it can only be played on "Non LImited" attachments or locations. I think that it is only refering to the "LImited" word on certain cards such as ".... Fiefdoms" etc.
Can I play my "Frozen Solid" card on their "Bodyguard"?

The Indian challenge ended in the WSF women's world team squash championship as Dipika Pallikal and Joshna Chinappa lost to Egyptian rivals in the quarterfinals in Nimes, France, on Thursday. Second-seeded Egypt took just six games to eliminate India. While Dipika went down to Raneem El Weleily 14-16, 4-11, 7-11 in a marathon battle, Joshna lost 7-11, 6-11, 9-11 to Nour El Sherbinia.
The third and final match between Nour El Tayeb and Anaka Alankamony was thus rendered inconsequential.

The high-stakes Barmer constituency, where BJP rebel Jaswant Singh is contesting as an Independent candidate, recorded a turnout of 71.53 percent, the second highest among the 20 constituencies that went to the polls in Rajasthan in the first phase on Thursday.
Mr. Singh, who is fighting a battle for prestige, complained to the Election Commission that the ruling BJP government manipulated the administrative machinery. He was, however, confident that the people would vote in large numbers to "save Barmer."
"This is really a battle to save this region from some corrupt individuals who want to control the oil and lignite discovered in this region. It is all about that," he told The Hindu.
However, one perception is that the large turnout could benefit the BJP, whose candidate Sonaram Chaudhary is a former Congress MLA. The Congress candidate, Harish Chaudhary, is seeking re-election.
From first-timers to nonagenarians, voters braved the sweltering heat to cast their ballot. At the polling booth in Mewanagar, where Mr. Singh voted along with his son Manvendra Singh and other family members in the morning, voters participated enthusiastically.
"We are here to vote for pride and honour," said 90-year-old Harku Kanwar, frail and barely managing to be audible.
"I have voted for the first time — for better roads, access to potable water and round-the-clock power supply," Omaram, 20, said.
Not seeing too many senior citizens during the second half of the day, Mr. Singh's supporters worked overtime to get them out of their homes to vote.
With 925 of the 2,034 polling booths in the constituency declared sensitive, 250 mobile teams and 4,000 security personnel were deployed.

Xbox One
Was gonna buy PS4, but the PS4 boards didnt convince me. Why XBox One over PS4??
Wait until E3. Decide after.
MJFJD posted...
Get both
Responses like that puzzle me. Not everyone can get both...at least not right away. I have X1 now. I'll prolly get PS4 next year.
I've wrote this a lot on these boardtht I'll say it again. I own both consoles Xbox One and Ps4 but as it stands right now the Xbox One is the better investment and I wish I got it first back in November instead of waiting and getting it three weeks ago.
Why do I say Xbox One is the better investment cause I simply find it more fun to play games like Titanfall and Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare to Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3.
I love all the media functions I have my satellite box hooked up in the extra HDMI slot and I love saying Xbox watch t.v.
The Ps4 is good and will be great but right now the only game that stands out is Infamous second son and killzone is alright it's graphically amazing but lacking in other areas.
One thing I will say is the multiplats like BF4 AC4 and COD look better on ps4 but on the other hand FIFA 14 and NBA 2k14 look better on Xbox one cause the colors pop more I think.
I don't regret buying ps4 cause the best games are still to come but right now Xbox one gets the most attention.

Sometimes I see people obsess so long over which console to buy that if they actually did some real work they would be able to easily afford both.
I got the Xbox One, but I wouldn't recommend it to you. Not that I don't like it, but it won't have as many JRPG's if we even get any this gen (I don't consider FF a JRPG anymore, "tales of ..." is pretty much all that's left that we can consider AAA). Fighting games I don't generally keep up on but any that I play are usually multiplat. Honestly though, don't get either until a game you want is out.

If you got to have someone convince you to buy something, maybe it's best you don't.
This is a good rule to go by. If you're not interested enough in the consoles to form your own opinion based on games, features, etc. then any hype we create for you is going to wear off fairly quickly and you're going to be disappointed either way. Hold off until one console has a clear advantage in your opinion and then go with that one; what other people tell you isn't always going to apply to what you'll experience firsthand.
We all give up eventually...

This message is probably well directed at a lot of people, but just for the record, I have a great job that keeps me away for 55-65 hours each week, plus a good amount of travel. It's not even to the point of being able to afford both.
I could afford both if it were just price. But I can't afford both when it comes to TIME.
Seriously, man. Some people just are in a position where they have to pick. Some of us just want a little help in CHOOSING, that's all.
No offense meant, I hope none taken.
Here are a couple things to think about- If you want to use a PS3, Xbox 360 (including the steering wheel), or PS4 controller on your X1 you can do that with the Controller Max adapter. There are no options available to do that on PS4...
Also- the PS4 doesn't have racing game exclusives coming out soon- not even Ridge Racer. X1 had Forza 5 out now and Forza Horizon 2 coming out in a few months. Both have next gen graphics and have the benefit of the X1 controller's rumble triggers giving you extra tactile feedback of braking/accelerating on the road courses.

Fair enough. Based on your preferences that you have shared I would say you are more likely to get maximum value out of a PS4.
IF there is going to be a resurgence of JRPGS it is most likely to occur on playstation.
Also, Graphics are currently better on the PS4 and although we do not know what the future may bring it is likely the PS4 will maintain its lead in this category.
If you want jrpgs and liked the ps3, isn't the answer obvious?

Activists of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) staged a demonstration in-front of the office of the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) here on Thursday protesting against cancellation of ration cards and not handing over possession of land sites allotted to them.
The agitators led by CPI (M) town secretary G.V. Konda Reddy, took strong objection to the MRO not handing over actual possession of house sites sanctioned under the Indiramma phase II programme even after lapse of 18 months.
"The Government is making us run from pillar to post. We will be provided land or not'' the protestors angrily asked, Deputy MRO D. Chandrasekhar Reddy.
They also raised slogans against the district administration for allegedly deleting the ration cards of 9,000 families on the pretext of migration without any actual door-to-door survey.

There can be little doubt that the temporary leadership lies with Fasliyev; there is no other way to read the form. The Nureyev colt has run five and won five, including two at Group 1 level, and he has looked dominant in Ireland, England and France.
But Fasliyev's sternest test is yet to come, and there are several already smart performers, patently on the upgrade, who can be expected to mount strong challenges over the next month or so.
Distant Music's victory in Friday's Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster was profoundly impressive, striking enough for my colleague Ian Heaney to raise him to joint-second in his juvenile rankings, although still 9lb short of the leader.
However, the gap is by no means insurmountable, and is to a large extent a reflection of one colt's greater experience and opportunity. Fasliyev did not meet another Pattern winner until his fifth start. Distant Music came straight from a debut maiden win into the Champagne, where he was opposed by two previous Pattern winners, and he brushed them nonchalantly aside.
Goodwood Group 3 victor Ekraar evidently had an excuse for his remote third place, returning slightly lame, but Rossini, who had followed his Group 3 Anglesey Stakes win with a Group 2 in the Robert Papin, was simply outclassed by a raw rival who may well be destined for great things.
What made Distant Music's performance so eye-catching was that he quickened up not once, but twice, and did it with scarcely a perceptible effort. It is a rare horse who can do that, especially in a fast-run seven-furlong contest completed in more than two seconds under the standard, and it is a weapon that promises to make him a formidable opponent at the highest level if he can produce it again.
From where did Distant Music derive this talent? Certainly not directly from his dam, Musicanti. No amount of pumping from the energetic Freddie Head could ever induce her out of her monotonous plodding rhythm, and the only win she could contrive came in a three-way photo-finish to a modest Saint-Cloud event over 14 furlongs.
Musicanti was manifestly one of the slower Nijinskys, and if we credit her with a certain degree of stamina, we must also debit her for a want of speed that others of her family by lesser sires had managed to display.
Her half-brother Vanlandingham (by Cox's Ridge) won the Washington DC, the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Suburban Handicap, and was placed in four other Grade Ones. Her uncle Temperence Hill (by Stop The Music) numbered the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Suburban among his four Grade 1 victories, along with the Belmont and Travers Stakes.
THE distinct stamina bias in the lower half of Distant Music's pedigree is balanced - or, more likely, counteracted - by speed in the upper half. Distant View, from whose first crop he comes, is a son of Mr Prospector out of Prix Morny heroine Seven Springs, herself by champion miler Irish River.
Distant View sped meteor-like across the scene in 1994. Fifth of 23 in a Guineas for which he started as a once-raced maiden, he streaked home in a weak Kempton event, was narrowly outshone by Grand Lodge in the St James's Palace, sparkled when defeating six Group 1 winners in the Sussex Stakes, then faded away with dull efforts in the Queen Elizabeth II and Breeders' Cup Mile.
Unraced at two because of a cannon-bone injury, Distant View also missed an intended campaign at four. His forelegs always gave concern, but he would have belied his breeding with an A1 set; he was true to his breeding in the class and speed he exhibited regardless.
Distant View returned to the land where Mr Prospector's sons famously thrive at stud, and soon became popular at a fee of $10,000. His first commercial stock were well received (understandably, none more so than a pair auctioned in these islands), while expectations were naturally higher for Juddmonte home-breds; Khalid Abdullah confidently committed 16 of his own mares to his novice stallion in 1996.
It has been a highly satisfactory first season for the Distant Views. He has had a stakes-placed performer in the States in Expanse, a cheaply-sold filly from a cheaply-bred mare, while here he has had four winners from six runners, headed by three Abdullah colts yet to suffer a defeat.
Apart from Distant Music, John Gosden holds a high opinion of Observatory, who won at Yarmouth on his debut, and Henry Cecil's Decarchy made a similarly favourable impression when also winning on his debut in style at the same course yesterday.
Distant View is dropping hints that he will be inferior to none of them in his impact on top-level racing.
Bred by Juddmonte Farms in USA. Ran only at 3 years, won 2 (both 8f, inc. Sussex S.-Gr1) of 7 races. Also 2nd in St James's Palace Stakes. Timeform 126. Earned pounds 155,932.
Medium-sized (nearly 16hh), good-bodied type, strong behind the saddle, but with less than perfect forelegs. Won maiden on soft, but best form on firm. Closed with two dull efforts, in training at 4, did not reappear.
By a leading sprinter, outstanding sire and excellent sire of sires, chiefly in USA. Dam (and half-sister Regal State) won Prix Morny. Grand-dam Listed 2-y-o winner (also bred Gr1-placed Spendomania) out of winning full- sister to Pia (Oaks, grand-dam of Chief Singer, 3rd dam of Theatre Critic, 4th dam of Gothenberg).
Stands at Juddmonte Farms, Lexington, at a fee of $10,000 (live foal). Sire of one crop of racing age, inc. notable winner: Distant Music (Champagne Stakes-Gr2).
Bred by Juddmonte Farms in USA. Won 1 (14.5f) of 5 races at 3 years in France. Earned Fr132,000.
Plain sort, one-paced, but game and seemingly acted on any going. Untried at less than 10f, 6th in only Pattern effort (Prix de Royaumont-Gr3).
By an outstanding racehorse and sire. Half-sister to multiple Gr1 winner Vanlandingham (by Cox's Ridge) and minor stakes-winners Jenkins Ferry (by True Colors) and Popular Tune (by Stop The Music), and to the dam of Kirkwall (by Selkirk; Gr2 winner in France, Gr3 winner in USA). Dam won 2 races at 2 years, half-sister to 7 other winners, inc. Temperence Hill (Belmont S., Travers S., Jockey Club Gold Cup, etc). Grand-dam won 3 races, sister and half-sister to Graded performers Shannon Run and Glengary.
To stud at 4 years and dam of: Distant Music (1997 c by Distant View; Gr2 winner). She has no yearling, her foal is a full sister to Distant Music (foaled on 30 January), and she is in foal to Quest For Fame.
The best kind of advertisement for a freshman sire - an exciting two-year-old with the potential to reach the highest class at three.

There is one other factor that could be at work for some people. Nowadays, captains fill their spring rosters as early as December. If you choose to wait, you will struggle to find players. Players do not wish to decline these early invitations because the door may not be open later, so they accept. Then something better comes along -- and they just blow off the first commitment.
Maybe I should start taking non-refundable deposits . . .
