The Commentator's Task
by G. A. Wells
from his 1996 book The Jesus Legend
1. Motivation and Bias
The way motivation affects a commentator's ideas has been the subject of much unfruitful dogmatizing. The German historian Friedrich Meinecke supposed that the historian cannot do his job properly unless he feels love towards his subject-matter -- hatred or indifference being equally pernicious. This view was obviously prompted by distaste for the way in which Enlightenment historians had written of Christianity. Thus he complained of Hume's "sober, detached empiricism", of lack of "spiritual depth" in Gibbon and "lack of antiquarian love" in Voltaire. The Jewish scholar Geza Vermes tells us that "religious writings disclose their meaning only to those who approach them in a spirit of sympathy" (Jesus, p. 63). This can all too easily be taken to mean that one should be favourably disposed towards their claims, whereas in fact -- as I am sure Vermes would agree -- what is decisive in the pursuit of truth is solid argument, not sunny dispositions. Some Christian writers go so far as to claim that one must be a Christian believer to investigate Christianity most effectively. N.T. Wright, for instance, is convinced that "serious study of Jesus and the gospels is best done within the context of a worshipping community," such as that of his own chapel (at Worcester College, Oxford), to which he dedicates his book. Benedetto Croce supposed that I shall vainly scan the pages of the Gospels or the Pauline epistles if I have no feelings, however quiescent, of Christian love, of salvation by faith". He would perhaps not have regarded it as vain to read Mein Kempf without some feelings, however quiescent, for Naziism. It is true that we must interpret the words we read, and can do so only in terms of our own experience. Yet one may learn by observation how people think and behave, without finding in oneself a proclivity to do the same, as one may get to know the habits of hyenas without any tendency to imitate them. Neither sympathy with nor hostility to a given material, religious or other, need necessarily warp the reasoning process, but may make the mind work all the harder to produce results which will stand up to searching scrutiny. Meinecke had to admit that, even though Voltaire was "concerned only to tear away the halo from the chosen people", he understood Jewish history better than some of his predecessors (pp. 101-02). Gibbon's attitude to early Christianity was hardly sympathetic, yet it is remarkable how few corrections to his account editors of his work have found it necessary to make. Collingwood, in his attempt to discredit him, was reduced to arguing that it is inappropriate to annotate his work at all. He complained that Bury's annotations added new facts "without suspecting that the very discovery of these facts resulted from an historical mentality so different from Gibbon's own that the result was not unlike adding a saxophone obligato to an Elizabethan madrigal. He never saw that one new fact added to a mass of old ones involved the complete transformation of the old".
Collingwood does not explain the process of 'transforming' old facts. Bury's annotations may either supplement Gibbon or correct him. In the former case, gaps in Gibbon's story may be filled, or doubts he expressed resolved; in the latter, his views may be superseded. But it is hardly necessary to pretend that every additional fact makes the previous story obsolete. As for the saxophone and the madrigal, we think that an Elizabethan poem sounds better in an Elizabethan setting because this is what we are used to -- although we have no objection to hearing the sonatas of Mozart on a modern pianoforte, or arrangements of old music for modern orchestras. There is of course no real parallel between the setting of old music to modern instruments and the annotation of old history books. Gibbon's attitude towards the facts he related was very different from Collingwood's, and that, for Collingwood, was his real fault. One might conjecture that the author of The Idea of History was suffering from the effects of an Oxford course in philosophy, and that his troubles arose from taking lectures on Plato and Kant too seriously. This may be part of the mischief, although he was surely not an altogether unwilling victim, as his 'philosophy' seems to offer an escape from the all too intelligible implications of the work of the Enlightenment.
Emphasis on sympathy and commitment may well be a reaction against demands for impartiality and absence of presuppositions. These demands are, however, more justly met with the retort that it is impossible to recount events or doctrines without purpose; even the most detailed account is a selection, and every selection must be guided by some aim. Nevertheless, a single presentment may be useful for more purposes than one. If there is occasion to inquire about something outside the common fields of social or religious history, a work composed with this end in view may not exist, yet the relevant facts may sometimes be collected from the standard histories. it is not necessary to compile a new history of the world every time one has a particular problem to solve.
If selection is inevitable even when mere description of events or situations is being attempted, it is equally necessary in the early stages of a quest for fruitful generalizations. At these stages, progress in any scientific inquiry is possible only by stressing broad tendencies and ignoring disturbing factors. The Periodic Table of the chemical elements would hardly have been established if too much weight had been attached to irregularities and anomalies. Eventually, of course, it is the more careful scrutiny of these exceptions which provides clues for further discovery. But it is of great importance to establish preliminary generalizations, for these give purpose and direction to subsequent research.
Any writing which consistently defends some overall thesis is liable to be regarded as biased; and imputing bias is encouraged by the fact that it is less laborious to explain someone's views in this way than by analysing his reasoning. If an author does have some propagandist aim, we may suspect his accuracy; but the accuracy is what primarily concerns us.
Historians of science have given evidence enough to correct the view that scientific work is normally motivated by pure love of truth. Rudwick, for instance, has shown that one of the principal contenders in nineteenth-century geology -- Sir Roderick Murchison -- was driven "by a determination to gain all the glory of discovery for himself" and to minimize the achievements of rivals by emphasizing their mistakes. Yet, adds Rudwick, "such morally ambiguous passions are often what sustain scientific activity." Quite so: while the reasoning process may serve to guide us towards our goal, the goal must first exert some kind of attraction before this process can be brought into play. Hume summed this up well when he wrote: "Reason, being cool and disengaged, is no motive to action, and directs only the impulse received from appetite or inclination by showing us the means of attaining happiness or avoiding misery". The immense application and industry demanded of the competent historian or scientist cannot easily be sustained without the impelling force of some emotion.
Citizens of a country and supporters of a political party or a creed often respond with obvious signs of resentment to criticism of that to which they are committed. Self-esteem may well be involved here. An individual whose own achievements do not sufficiently justify the requisite degree of self-esteem seeks to feed the appetite for it vicariously. He expands his conception of self to include his country, his party, his creed, and criticisms of any of these he regards as equivalent to attacks on himself. The habit of relying on such an expanded self for the satisfaction of self-esteem has the disadvantage that one cannot easily contract again to one's normal dimensions when one's country or creed is humiliated. Hence the perennial need for some grounds on which to base a high opinion of them. The phenomenon is particularly clear in the case of militant nationalism, but political and religious militancy frequently illustrate it.
ii. Guidelines for Hostile Writing and Illustrations of Their Use
What I have just said is more likely to be true of the rank and file members than of a creed's or nation's spokesmen and leaders, with whom I am here principally concerned. It is perhaps worth summarizing the guidelines they all too often follow in making hostile comments on an author. I am of course particularly concerned with remarks aimed at one who is critical of religious orthodoxy, and all the guidelines are represented in comments I have seen on my own work:
Bruce (Documents, pp. 15-16) gives a signal example of this final guide-line when he rebuts arguments against the trustworthiness of the New Testament by pointing to its rich manuscript tradition -- the mass evidence for it being "ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical authors". one can only comment that if there had been a Tacitus club in every European town for a thousand or more years with as much influence as the local Christian clergy, sections of the Annals would not have been lost. And if, instead of copying again and again the books of the New Testament, scribes had copied works which they regarded as heretical; and if the authorities had also allowed works downright hostile to Christianity to survive instead of suppressing them, then we should have a much clearer picture of what underlay Christianity's successful struggle against opposing forces. Mere possession of Porphyry's work Against the Christians became a capital offence under Constantine. It has been repeatedly pointed out that papyrus quickly deteriorates in a humid climate, so that a work was likely to survive only if recopied at intervals; and that this would be done only if it was officially sponsored or if it was both popular and free from official vetoes.
The following example comprises passages which seem to rely heavily on guidelines 1, 2, and 3 in the above list. The author is Carsten Thistle, described on the cover of his book as "a member of Council of Germany's Institute for Education and Knowledge", who lives in Wuppertal with his English wife. He writes in English, and begins:
Occasionally it has been suggested by ill-informed controversialists that the Gospels in their present state are 'purified' fabrications of later centuries, with an invented picture of a Jesus who never existed like this, if he ever existed at all.
"Ill-informed" implements guideline 1, and the dismissive tone ('controversialists', not 'scholars') guidelines 2 and 3. Worse than ellipsis (guideline 10) is the suggestion that dissent has been but 'occasional' and has characteristically consisted in assigning the gospels to 'later centuries' (plural). But what are Thiede's readers expected to understand from his statement that the gospels have been called "purified" fabrications? He is too contemptuous of the unnamed ill-informed controversialists to whom he ascribes such a view to tell us, but is obviously alluding -- clumsily and in garbled fashion -- to those NT scholars (particularly Helmut Koester, Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Harvard) who hold that one gospel (canonical Mark) is an abbreviated version, purified from gnostic views, of an earlier gospel of Mark.
Thiede goes on to refer to an essay of 1988 in which an "assistant editor-in-chief of a scientific magazine" (guideline 1 again) "claims that some of the most important elements of the Gospels are inventions; and he is only imitating what others have tried before him". 'Imitation' we all recognize as a low and menial capacity, resorted to by those incapable of creativity and originality (guideline 3). He then adds:
The most notorious of these [others], perhaps, was G.A. Wells, a professor of German at Birkbeck College, London [guideline I with a vengeance here], who managed to distort the evidence [guideline 2] until he reached the conclusion that Jesus never existed at all [guideline 10]. And the middle ground is occupied by those who make their own selections about what they think can be true [a suggestion of guideline 7] and what must be wrong, from the virgin birth to the empty tomb.
It is very difficult to represent an author fairly by means of a few select quotations. But if the audience envisaged is sufficiently naive, there is no need to quote or to give references; all that is necessary is to present, as here, in one's own way the case opposed, omitting anything that might arouse the reader's interest or tempt him to read the author in question, and suggesting by any means that he is arbitrary, unscholarly, unqualified.
Thistle's whole book is a totally uncritical acceptance of patristic traditions, which he represents as "facts reported by early historians" (p. 4). It illustrates how fortresses of theology, long since abandoned by a majority of serious scholars I continue to be walled with libraries of 'learning' by their residual defenders. It is sobering to turn from such confident apologetic to frank appraisals from perplexed theologians who know of what they speak. John Bowden well represents them when he says ('Nerve', p. 82): "There are [today] virtually no new substantial and intellectually attractive statements of traditional Christian belief which counter successfully the now well-established criticisms of it."
I do not suppose that deliberate malice is commonly the motive in following any of the guidelines I have specified. The situation is rather this. A scholar makes up his mind on certain issues over years of intensive study and then comes across a closely-argued book which puts quite contrary views. To assimilate it properly would require considerable time and effort, and if he were finally to accept its arguments, he would have drastically to revise the convictions he has so laboriously built up over a long period. He thus has a double motive for convincing himself that it is not worth serious attention.
That motives of this kind have repeatedly been efficacious is familiar to historians of science. Alfred Wegener's theory of 'continental drift' may serve as an example. The theory is now regarded as so obviously true, and of such importance in bringing together apparently disparate phenomena under a single explanatory principle, that surprise has been expressed that it was not given a sympathetic hearing when first propounded. But there need be no surprise, for the audience originally addressed felt (rightly) that they were being asked to discard so much of what they had so painstakingly learned as well-established.

Benzino of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" is having a horrible week. While attending the funeral of his mother, Wetpaint reports on March 29 that he was shot multiple times during the procession.
According to sources, an argument broke out among family members and it turned violent. During the course of the altercation, shots were fired by Benzino's cousin Gai Scott. Benzino and Gai Scott already reportedly had a beef prior to the funeral. It is unclear why the relatives were arguing.
Benzino's family were gathered in Massachusetts for the funeral of his mother, Mary Anna Scott. After the shooting, Benzino was rushed to the hospital while Gai Scott was arrested for assault with intent to murder. The rest of the family chose to carry on with the funeral even though there was blood on the limo and hearse.
According to reports, Benzino is in critical condition but is expected to survive the ordeal. It is unknown just how many times he was shot. Our thoughts are with Benzino and his family at this time.

Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn: Tonk
Duke Ellington (piano) and Billy Strayhorn (piano)
The Best of the Complete RCA Victor Mid-Forties Recordings (RCA Victor)
Duke Ellington (piano), Billy Strayhorn (piano).
Composed by Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn.
Recorded: New York, January 10, 1946
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
The word "tonk" is a slang contraction of honky-tonk, an 1890s term for a cheap, often tawdry nightclub or dancehall. By the 1920s it also denoted piano music as typically found in such low-class establishments, stylistically postdating ragtime but predating boogie-woogie.
Here "Tonk" gets updated to the mid-'40s. Since Duke was reluctant to record its original orchestration for full band, Billy Strayhorn adapted his adventurous piece for two pianos, played by the close collaborators better known for sophistication than for experimentalism. Not surprisingly, then, this quirky Ellington/Strayhorn foray into avant-garde jazz is more refined than what, say, Thelonious Monk was then doing. Indeed, with echoes of "The Trolley Song" (1944) and "The Band Played On" (a hit for Guy Lombardo just five years before), "Tonk" has more in common with "An American in Paris" (1928) than with "'Round Midnight" (1947). The similarities are most evident when listening to Gershwin's tone poem as arranged for 4-handed piano roll by Frank Milne in 1993.
Yet while Gershwin sought to evoke the sights and sounds of Paris in the '20s, Ellington & Strayhorn draw an impressionistic portrait of an American honky-tonk from that same era. Naturally tonks weren't as tony as La Ville-Lumičre, but that's undoubtedly what appealed to Duke & Strays. The energy of honky-tonks was African-American, not European. Accordingly, instead of Gershwin's lavish watercolor splashed across a 16-minute canvas, "Tonk" is a 3-minute sketch in charcoal that would never appear in a major exhibition but still provides a tantalizing glimpse of what Robert Frost called The Road Not Taken. Confronted by diverging paths in the artistic thicket of mid-'40s jazz—one strange but rich in artistic possibility; the other well tramped and commercially proven—Duke Ellington chose the familiar route, leaving the one less traveled to younger, more intrepid explorers. One can only imagine what inroads he and Strayhorn might have made if, instead of Taking the "A" Train, they'd tramped around more in the dissonant, herky-jerky delights of "Tonk."

YOU SAY 'TOMATO': As seen through a photographer's fisheye lens, Yong Huang, Epcot's manager of agricultural science at The Land pavilion, inspects the massive "tomato tree" growing inside the theme park's experimental greenhouses in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. A one-of-a-kind plant in the United States, it yields thousands of tomatoes at one time from a single vine. The plant has been recognized as a Guinness World Record Holder, with a harvest of more than 32,000 tomatoes and a total weight of 1,151.84 pounds. Huang discovered the unique plant while on vacation in Beijing, China. After meeting with scientists responsible for that plant, Huang brought its seeds to Epcot and created the specialized greenhouse for the fruit to grow. The vine grows golf ball-sized tomatoes which are harvested and served at restaurants at Walt Disney World. (Kent Phillips, photographer)

How does one go about becoming an urban planning consultant? Are there any educational or licensing requirements?
Editors' Reply:
We have experience with this particular question! Glad you asked. Our answer will be opinionated of course, since we've lived through it.
Certainly being an urban planner requires specialized education. We suppose it's possible for some people who have political science, public policy, or urban studies degrees to work themselves into being urban planners by being around the profession in a junior level position.
We all four think that someone without the educational background in urban planning as such never will attain the same level of sophistication and expertise in their practice as the person who has been formally educated in planning.
While there are undergraduate programs at some universities throughout the U.S., it's also possible and even customary to enter the urban planning profession at the graduate student level. But at least an undergraduate planning degree should be a requirement for becoming an urban planning consultant.
The reason is that while policy-oriented folks and architects, for instance, can mimic those with a planning education well after they gain a certain amount of experience with a particular community, consulting requires being able to analyze a situation and determine what is needed rather quickly.
That's why we think that an urban planning consultant virtually always should have an urban planning degree, not urban design, urban policy, anthropology, and so forth.
Next you asked if there are licensing requirements. That depends on the nation or state where you wish to practice or to base your business.
Generally there are no particular educational or professional licensing requirements, but there probably will be ordinary business license requirements, as well as sometimes fictitious name registration or incorporation, if you're going to the sole proprietor as an urban planning consultant.
If you're going to work for an established firm, of course business licenses and such will be their responsibility.
The U.S. does have the American Planning Association, a professional association, and then the American Institute of Certified Planners, which maintains a certification program for planners.
If practicing in the U.S., obtaining the AICP designation, as the certification is called, certainly is desirable. Standards are fairly low, so if you know enough to be a city planning consultant, you can meet the education and experience requirements fairly easily and then pass a brief written exam. Oh, and pay dues.
Some states have a certification process of some type also, but these generally don't preclude starting in the consulting business.
Various specialties of urban planners might have licensing or certification requirements. We think of economic development through the programs of the International Economic Development Council.
The American Planning Association also has just launched specialty certification programs in transportation planning and environmental planning.
If you want to see things from the client's perspective, we hope someone soon will tell their war stories on our page about city planning consultants.

The late Mel Fisher, who sought and salvaged the shipwrecked Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora de Atocha, will be remembered July 10-13, during Mel Fisher Days in Key West.
Fisher and his crew uncovered a $450 million cache in July 1985 after a 16-year search. The Atocha galleon sank approximately 35 miles southwest of Key West during a 1622 hurricane. Fisher's son Kim Fisher leads the continuing search for artifacts and treasures that still remain undiscovered.
Festival highlights include a dock party with the salvage crew, behind-the-scenes tours of the Fisher family's private artifact conservation lab, a team treasure hunt and a rollicking street party that recalls Mel's exuberant spirit.
Events begin at 11 a.m. Thursday, July 10, dockside at the Schooner Wharf Bar, 202 William St. in Key West's Historic Seaport. Fisher's famed 100-foot treasure salvage vessel J.B. Magruder will be on display while current and past crewmembers share memories and treasure tales.
Evening attractions include a pirate pub crawl and pirate ball with contest prizes including an authentic Atocha coin. Friday features 45-minute guided VIP tours of the private conservation laboratory at Mel Fisher's Treasures, 200 Greene St., spotlighting the techniques experts use to conserve priceless shipwreck artifacts.
That evening, the Amazing Mel Fisher Treasure Hunt is scheduled in Old Town with teams vying for $5,000 in silver dollars. The winning team will be announced Saturday during the Mel Fisher Days Sizzlin' Street Fair, starting at 11 a.m. in the 200 block of Duval Street. Activities include live music by the Spam Allstars, a silent auction, food and drink, a dunk tank, games and family fun.
Also Saturday, salvage fans can view Fisher family videos of Mel's early expeditions and attend the presentation of the Mel Fisher Lifetime Achievement Award. Events take place at Key West's Tropic Cinema, 416 Eaton St.
All net proceeds from Mel Fisher Days festivities benefit the Florida Keys' Wesley House Family Services. Event schedule, pricing and registration: www.melfisher.com www.melfisherdays.com.
When you go

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a subgroup. Is it true that a set of right coset representatives of $H$ is also set of left coset representatives of $H$?

Not every left transversal is also a right transversal. The Group Properties Wiki has a list of subgroup properties that are stronger than "having [at least one] left transversal that is also a right transversal"; among these is normality as William notes.
However the left coset representatives' multiplicative inverses form a right transversal, because
$$\begin{array}{c l}xH=yH & \iff y^{-1}xH=H \\ & \iff y^{-1}x\in H \\ & \iff (y^{-1}x)^{-1}=x^{-1}y\in H \\ & \iff Hx^{-1}y=H \\ & \iff Hx^{-1}=Hy^{-1}. \end{array}$$
This answer is mostly to give a nice bibliography for this problem of finding common transversals. I was going to include a proof, but all the proofs were combinatorial and my attempts at making them sound interesting failed.
Exists: yes, All: no
If $H \leq G$ and $K \leq G$ are two subgroups of the same finite index $[G:H]=[G:K]$, then they have a "common transversal": a set $t_i \in G$ such that $H t_i \neq H t_j$ and $t_i K \neq t_j K$ if $i \neq j$ and such that $G = \cup H t_i = \cup t_i K$. Taking $H=K$ gives an answer to the original question, interpreting "a" as "there exists" rather than "for all". I discuss the publication history of this theorem in the next section.
One can easily check that $\{ (), (2,3), (1,2,3) \}$ is only a one-sided set of coset representatives of $\{(),(1,2)\}$ in the symmetric group $\{ (), (1,2), (2,3), (1,3), (1,2,3), (1,3,2) \}$.
The earliest proof is due to Miller (1910) with another similar proof in Chapman (1913). The same proof was used for a stronger result in Scorza (1927). Van der Waerden (1927) proved a combinatorial precursor to the Marriage theorem of Hall (1935) and explicitly cites Miller (1910) as his motivation. A proof is presented in textbook form in Zassenhaus (1937), theorem 3, page 12; I believe this is van der Waerden's proof, but Zassenhaus credits it to Willi Maak. Shü (1941) generalizes Scorza's result to finite index subgroups and gives an example to show the result is not true for a general subgroup. Ore (1958) continues this investigation. Hall (1967) uses the marriage theorem to prove the theorem in the finite index case as theorem 5.1.7 on page 55. Alonso (1972) proves less, but gives more examples and uses more primitive versions, somewhat similar to Hall (1967). Applegate–Onishi (1977) proves the result for continuous sections of profinite groups.
No this not true unless $H$ is a normal subgroup. Suppose that $H$ is normal. Then for all $a \in G$, $aHa^{-1} = H$ so $aH = Ha$. Suppose that the set of left and right cosets are the same. Since cosets are partitions of $G$, $aH = Ha$. Hence $aHa^{-1} = H$. Since this holds for all $a \in G$, $H$ is a normal subgroup.
However for any subgroup $H$ of $G$ it is true that the set of left cosets and right cosets are in bijection. Namely $\Phi(aH) = Ha^{-1}$.
Let $R$ and $L$ be the set of right or right and left cosets. Above I showed that $R = L$ if and only $H$ is normal .
Now suppose that $H$ is not normal. So $R \neq L$. Hence there is a right coset $\sigma$ that is not a left coset. Since you assumed that the groups are finite, the size of each left and right cosets are equal. Hence if $\sigma$ is not any left coset, then $\sigma$ must intersect two left cosets $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$. Let $a_1 \in \sigma \cap \tau_1$ and $a_2 \in \sigma \cap \tau_2$. Now form a set of representatives $K$ for left cosets, where $a_1$ and $a_2$ are choosen representative for $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ respectively. Now $K$ is not a set of representative for right cosets since $a_1$ and $a_2$ are representative for the same right coset. So some right coset must have no representative.

Joe Bfsptplk, the creation of the late cartoonist Al Capp, and Serhiy Dzinziruk have one thing in common, which is to say equally unpronounceable surnames.
On the other hand, more people have heard of Joe Bfstplk.
Dzinziruk's name may be somewhat more familiar by March 12, when 2010 Fighter of the Year Sergio Martinez defends his WBC middleweight title against HBO's favorite Ukrainian at the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.
Promoter Lou DiBella had hoped to showcase Martinez at the Madison Square Garden Theatre that night, but that plan was doomed by the relative anonymity of the opponent. Dzinziruk, the soon-to-be 35 year-old WBO junior middleweight champion, is undefeated in 37 pro fights, but his only US appearance came in his stoppage of Daniel Dawson on a ShoBox card in California last May. Filling even the 5,000-seat Theatre loomed a tough sell in New York, where fight fans know their Sergios from their Serhyis; ergo, the change in venue.
Once DiBella pulled the plug on the Garden Theatre, many leapt to the assumption that the Dzinziruk fight would be in Atlantic City, where Martinez' last three fights took place, but TSS sources confirmed that it would take place at the Connecticut casino, which will be hosting its first title fight since Carl Froch-Jermain Taylor in April of 2009.
It will be the second title defense for Martinez (46-2-2), who followed his upset win over Kelly Pavlik last April with a stunning second-round knockout of Paul Williams in November.
With the fight card scheduled for the weekend before St. Patricks Day, DiBella's first choice in opponents had been Irish middleweight Andy Lee, but HBO turned thumbs down on both Lee and Sebastian Dzik, who as the WBC's "interim" champion, represented Martinez' mandatory. Precisely why the network considers Dzinziruk more telegenic remains unlearned.
The good news for Irish boxing fans is that Lee (24-1) will box on the Foxwoods show, as will another popular 160-pounder, John Duddy (29-2). The bad news is that they won't be fighting each other. While insisting on Dzinziruk as Martinez' opponent, HBO will show only the main event of the live card. In the absence of TV money, it would be impossible to satisfy what Lee and Duddy would want for fighting each other.
Having Lee on the card provides yet another benefit for the Irishman's manager/trainer Emanuel Steward: Since he will be working the corner instead of manning an HBO microphone on March 12, Steward won't have to spend the next two months learning how to pronounce Dzinziruk's name.
Wanna play a game? See all the different ways the press spells the name of Sergei, er Serhiy...uh,,,, Dzina...Dzazinaz...uh, the guy Martinez is gonna fight...
I dont like the matchup. Maybe they could have a double bill like in the old days. Sergio vs whoever and Serhiy vs somebody. After they both win they talk a little smack and maybe we have something. Leonard and Hearns fought a double bill before the Superfight. Hearns vs Baez and Leonard vs Kalule. They did this on free TV on a Saturday afternoon just to build interest. And we wonder what went wrong with boxing as a main stream sport.
What da FUDGE? Alphabet sanctioning organizations are now giving pugilists with "just-throw-up-some-darn-alphabet names" title shots. I heard Serhiy Dzinziruk is the short way of posting this fighter's name. Wow! Is it really that bad for Sergio Martinez? Since he beat the most "feared fighter alive," now he has to dance with one who has the most feared name alive. Holla!
I heard this Serhiy guy is a tougher test for martinez than the other guys, but i hope martinez wins and hangs on to the crown. he's fought long to get where he is, the least he could do is enjoy it and earn a few paydays while he's at it. the guy is good man, real good. my hope is that sturm/pirog win a few fights and the three fight each other, who knows, maybe on show time or something. yet hbo let mora mosley happen. wtf? give martinez his day in the sun fo' sho!
I admit I haven't seen enough of Dzini to offer an informed opinion...Lemme go scour Youtube for footage
Thanks for the footage! Based on that I think the dude is too stiff and Sergio will be too fast. Late bustup or UD.
Oh yeah, I'm warming to this one. No wasted movement, will stay in the pocket, pick his shots smartly, calm, cool, might have trouble with Martinez' movement. Oh, and lack of power. Serge might decide after two rounds that Dzinzi can't hurt him, and press him and hurt him. Dzinzi has been coddled, looking at his record...
watching the joel julio fight now. seems like a tough fight for anyone. he jabs a lot which i like, and he seems to be a thinking fighter, taking the first few rounds to figure the guys' timing and stuff. finished round 2, nothing interesting, but fundamentally sound, patient, and pretty tough.
:coolzinziruk is the consumate pro.. highly skillful, and much avoided. Paul Williams ignored his challenges for years... and for years Dzinziruk has been on the outside looking in. Dzinziruk is not a big puncher, but he's one of the most skillful boxers you'll ever witness. Guys like Dizinziruk puts blood thirsty boxing fans to sleep.... but if you want to see uncanny technical ability,...a boxer whose hands are always moving,.. especially at the same time his opponent is throwing,.. then you will be delighted to watch upcoming fight. Dzinziruk is to boxing ablility: what an epic Novel is to a Comic Book,.. it may be a bit of an aquired taste... but once you learn to appreciate pure boxing on a technical level... you'll love watching what Dzinziruk can do in the ring... Dzinziruk has an excellent chance to defeat Martinez and the statistical odds of Martinez landing a KO shot decreases exponentially against the Euro slickster. ... I mean did you not see how effortlessly he handled boxer - puncher Joel Julio... moving just enough laterally, forward and backward,... ducking and slipping on demand,.. and opening up every time Julio moved his hands,.. without taking much in return... all the while giving the false impression that he's just the standard stiff European standup boxer(that's the bait)... Dzin has had managerial issues in the recent past and even more trouble getting quality fighters to meet him in the ring.. but if he can shake the rust,.. this is the best challenge Martinez has EVER had even though Dzin has to move up half a weight class. what ever you do,... don't bet the farm on Martinez.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Howrey's First Tier: so far, so good?
Vault Law Editors
April 26, 2010
A generally admiring look at Howrey's "First Tier" program in today's Washington Post. Howrey has a track record as an innovator: the litigation "boot camp," the ahead-of-the-curve elimination of lockstep compensation, and now, First Tier, which is a substantial reimagining of the BigLaw training model. A two-year program, First Tier offers new attorneys a below-market $100,000 salary and the opportunity to "attend structured training sessions, shadow experienced attorneys, have access to an on-site writing consultant and spend three-month stints in clients' legal departments, all at the expense of the firm." The firm has compared the concept to medical residencies or accounting secondments. According to Eileen Billinson, Howrey's Chief of Human Resources and Attorney Programs, the program is designed to prompt law students "to go through some introspection to determine that this is what they'd like to do."
Because First Tier places a hard, low cap on billable client work (700 hours), and bills out that time at a lower rate, several clients have reportedly waived their prohibition on first-years working on their matters. As for Howrey's recruiting competiveness, the article quotes a dean at UVA law school, "Tier One certainly didn't dissuade students from pursuing interviews with the firm."
Other firms that have either implemented (or are planning to) some combination of lower rates, more structured training periods, and merit-based pay include WilmerHale, Holland & Knight, Dickstein Shapiro, Drinker Biddle, Orrick, and DLA Piper.

I think we should start this discussion by figuring out what you would consider good numbers for Babb. Also we need to know exactly why Kilpatrick scored these points, and why no one else should carry any of the blame.

A long time ago there was a movie featuring Carl Weathers -- who shot to fame when he famously faced off against Rocky Balboa as Apollo Creed -- titled "Action Jackson." And it was awesome, not the least of which because it included Vanity of Prince fame and Jackson chasing a bad guy fleeing in a car by running him down...ON FOOT. This miniature pays homage to his earlier films, like "Friday Foster."
Horace "Action" Jackson 1
This miniature nails the 70s-style look of an action hero of the genre: Afro, open white shirt down to the navel, bell-bottom jeans, and huge gold medallion.
Horace "Action" Jackson 1
His name may be Horace, but we know who he really is:
Who's the black private dick / That's a sex machine to all the chicks? / HORACE! / Ya d*mn right!
Okay, maybe we'll just call him Action.

Do you have or do you know someone who has a milk allergy?
It is becoming more and more common to hear someone say they are allergic to dairy products.
Dairy products laden with saturated fats and concentrated protein (casein) contribute to
No other animal drinks mother's milk after weaning, certainly not the milk from another species.
Cow's milk is not a natural food for man, woman or child.
Eliminating it from our diet would limit our intake of
Millions live quite healthy without consuming dairy products. You could too if you are suffering from a lactose intolerance.
Goat's Milk is better for infants than canned milk because it is nearer to human milk in chemical balance.
We are told to eat dairy products because they are good sources of calcium and protein. Actually, they are a wholesome source of neither. The calcium is accompanied by a large load of phosphate and protein that can neutralize the good effects of the calcium and actually contribute to osteoporosis ("thin bones").
Milk protein is very dissimilar from human protein and can cause the milk allergy or any of the allergic inflammatory reactions listed above.
The butterfat in milk is a dangerous artery-clotting contributor to heart disease.
Realize the huge butterfat content of these dairy favorites:
What are good sources of calcium and protein?
If you do have a milk allergy and are on a meatless diet, your body needs only 400-1000 milligrams of calcium daily, easily obtainable in green vegetables, nuts and seeds.
A Candida Diet would help your body stay clear of unusable fats.
A serving of cooked collards or broccoli has as much USABLE calcium as a glass of milk. Almonds and raisins, tofu dishes, tahini (sesame) dressing meet most people's calcium needs. You can put tahini on your morning toast too.
If there is a need for extra calcium, have extra helpings of calcium-rich foods. Adding a Calcium supplement on a daily basis would be beneficial.
Ample protein is available from grains, legumes, green vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Be Wary of Dairy;
Skim milk offers little advantage over whole milk as it still has 1/3 the butterfat of whole milk (you don't need any) and a full complement of allergy-inciting milk protein.
If you have a milk allergy you should consider drinking other liquids such as...
A friend of mine has her young grandchildren trying 'Nana's Green Tea'. Nana puts Liquid Chlorophyl in hot water instead of drinking coffee or tea. The kids love it!
Milk and dairy products are hidden in many commercial products such as
Milk powder is prone to cause allergic reactions. Skim milk powder is a frequent ingredient in products and is often listed as "casein" or "sodium caseinate", the chemical name for milk protein.
A by-product of the cheese-making process called "whey" is also used frequently.
Without dairy fat in your blood, you can become leaner and healthier, and reduce your chances of heart attack, stroke, and various forms of cancer.
The principal protein in cow's milk is casein and few adults can metabolize this. However, a cow's metabolism does need this protein for proper health.
Infants and some adults have a great deal of difficulty in digesting casein. I hear of more and more cases of young children who cannot tolerate milk.
The partially digested proteins enter the bloodstream and irritate the tissues, creating susceptibility to allergens. Eventually, the liver has to remove all this partially digested cow protein. This is a heavy and unnecessary burden on the liver and the person's entire excretory system.
The calcium in mother's milk is always the best.
It takes about five quarts of milk to make a single pound of cheese.
When a food is that concentrated, you don't have to eat much to put on those extra pounds.
Milk and Cheese quite often cause a cattaral condition in the body. You might find yourself clearing your throat after consuming dairy products.
Certain foods can cause allergic inflammatory symptoms. Some foods have this effect more than others animal products including milk and meat. They directly increases the production of inflammatory products such as prostaglandins.
You could easily test this yourself by removing milk from your diet for a month or two, then introduce it back into your diet. You could experience pain and inflammation in the joints again.
Milk and Digestion
Milk can cause poor absorption.
Milk and milk products have a great ability to neutralize hydrochloric acid forcing your stomach to work harder to produce enough hydrochloric acid to digest your food.
Eventually, the HCl producing glands in your stomach break down and you don't absorb the nutrients that are available in your food.
Do you have trouble digesting dairy products? If you do, consuming large amounts of dark green, leafy vegetables, such as kale and collard greens can provide another form of calcium. Spinach and chard also have calcium but they contain oxalic acid, which combines with the calcium to form calcium oxalate. This makes the calcium less available to the body.
This is not necessarily called a milk allergy. This is what happens when you drink milk as an adult.
Milk and cheese also tend to generate excessive mucous in the intestines, sinus and lungs. I continually 'clear my throat' after I have dairy products.
The extra mucous in the intestines forms a coating on the inner lining that becomes relatively impermeable to nutrients. This means poor absorption, which in turns means chronic fatigue. When you don't absorb the nutrients, you tend to eat more, hence weight gain!
Have you ever noticed that when you have a cold, or your child has a cold and milk is consumed, that there is more chest congestion and a stuffy nose happens.
Next time, remember, to quit milk and cheese, if you have the flu or a cold.

The $3 valet parking fee is waived for those vehicles with HP plates or placards; regular member and nonmember parking fees still apply.
Pre-Pay for Parking If Your Visit Is 6 Hours or More
After parking your car, take your ticket with you and proceed to the parking pay stations located in the ground-level elevator lobby of the Museum garage. The pay stations accept either cash or credit card and issue you a receipt.
Before inserting your ticket, press the Prepay button. Members: scan your membership card to receive a discount. Follow the instructions on the screen. Your ticket will be valid until the garage closes at 11 pm. Keep your ticket with you; you will need it to exit the garage.
Red Sox and Fenway Event Parking
Avoid Fenway gridlock. Get in early to beat the crowds. Fenway Park is a short walk—about ten minutes—across the Fens footbridge from the MFA. Go Sox!
Parking in the MFA garage and surface lots is available throughout the Red Sox season. MFA members receive discounted rates, so fans never pay more than $15/game!
Rates for Fenway Event Parking
Daily Rates valid 6 am–5:30 pm: Nonmembers $29; Members $15
Evenings after 5:30 pm: Nonmembers $17; Members $13
Members must scan member cards to receive discount. Parking is on a first come-first served basis.
The MFA garage and surface lots will remain open one hour after the end of all games.
Reserve Parking Online—Know Before You Go!
As one of the most reasonable Fenway event rates around, we expect parking to fill. You can guarantee having a space waiting for you by purchasing your parking in advance. Reserve parking online at www.parking4fenway.com. Member discount does not apply to online purchases.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bride Of Frankenstein Love this wine! Just a lovely wine. May 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Natural Redhead and Proud of It Great Chardonnay! My neighbor turned me on to Cupcake Chardonnay. I don't ususally drink Chardonnay, but I enjoy this one and often buy it to take over and share with my neighbor. It is wonderful with simple appetizers like cheese and crusty bread. It never disappoints! November 29, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by ErinMichelle 3 Seconds to Liquid Snack-time Possibly the best, and it truly gets better with every sip; don't expect the 'cupcakey' notes to set in for a few seconds, but once they do, there is no going back to whatever wine (not just chardonnay) you favored previously. I noticed that it goes best with very flavorful - perhaps spicy - foods, because the hints become expressions when in contrast. April 15, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jay Delicious I'm not really a sucker for quirky names, but it's what drew me in and I'm glad it did. I enjoyed the elegance of the wine. It had a limited after-taste and was easy going down (but not flat or anything). I think it would be great paired with homemade veggie pizza. March 6, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by blondie Great wine for price (sometimes) I first found out about this wine because it was a house wine in a resort where I was having drinks. I was happy to find it here at World Market! I think it is a really good wine for the price. I serve it all the time to friends and they always ask about the wine. For a while it was a good price and then all of a sudden they changed the price. I guess when it got popular...now I only buy it from Worldmarket when they have it on "sale". March 2, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karma1 "Let them drink Cupcake!!!" I love Chardonnays to begin with, so my opinion is already tainted, but for an American Chardonnay, this is the nectar of the gods... Homemade Soup worthy of great French bread and cheese pair exceptionally well with this wine. Also a great companion to roasted chicken. November 2, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by ffun Never knew what I was missing!!! I usually don't like Chardonnays, but this I like. It's fresh, and crisp and NO after taste. The Merlot' is super too!!!! October 18, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chard Fan Best Chardonnay The best Chardonnay I have had in a long time. Besides the fact of loving to shop at World Market this wine is very hard to find at other places! I wish it was more well known so if you try and like it tell all your friends like I have. I am sure you will enjoy it if your a chard fan like myself Cheers September 27, 2009

The 2010 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks 163 countries on 25 performance indicators tracked across ten policy categories covering both environmental public health and ecosystem vitality. These indicators provide a gauge at a national government scale of how close countries are to established environmental policy goals. The EPI's proximity-to-target methodology facilitates cross-country comparisons as well as analysis of how the global community is doing collectively on each particular policy issue.
The data used to compile the index are available from the EPI website, and a banner at the top of the website promises an interactive version will be available on Monday.
A new ranking of the world's nations by environmental performance puts some of the globe's largest economies far down the list, with the United States sinking to 61st and China to 121st.
In the previous version of the Environmental Performance Index, compiled every two years by Yale and Columbia University researchers, the United States ranked 39th, and China 105th.
"Countries that take seriously the environment as a policy challenge do improve, and those that don't deteriorate," said Daniel C. Esty, director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy, who oversees the index project. "Both the U.S. and China are suffering because they're industrial and haven't been paying much attention to environmental policy." ("Iceland Leads Environmental Index as U.S. Falls". by Elisabeth Rosenthal, The New York Times, 27 January 2010)
