HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. This rivalry has been going for a long while and is still active to this very day. I would have highlighted, the single, and the hula hoop defense, they showcase the Clinch knee, and a triangle choke, Babalu gets the standing elbow strike… In existence since 1916, the National Association of Secondary School Principals(NASSP) is the preeminent organization of and national voice for middle leveland high school principals, assistant principals, and aspiring school leadersfrom across the United States and more than 45 countries around the world.NASSP`s mission is to promote excellence in school leadership.

The window of opportunity to add another player is dwindling fast and although even one move comes as a slight surprise, it’d still be nice to see the Twins add a pitcher.

It should be so obvious to everyone.The only question yet to be answered is: Will Bama fans throw roses on Jan. The reasoning is that using a 5 year period should average out discrepancies. Luke McCownLeftwich was brought in as a free agent, McCown was retained before hitting free agency, and Josh Freeman was the 17th overall pick in the 2009 draft.I thought Jon Gruden was in the booth now for Monday Night Football? The McCown signing doesn’t make much sense to me, as he’s really been nothing more than a backup for his career, and the Bucs have plenty of those.They need a starter, and the only guy ready to step in right now and do that is Leftwich.I’ve been incredibly shocked at how little attention was paid to Leftwich since the Steelers allowed him to hit the free agent market. Overeem was also announced for the card and they did speculate late that Rogers could challenge him at that point.

A soap opera couldn't be written more perfectly.

 With his Nuggets down 0-3 in a best of seven series, All-Star Carmelo Anthony has accused everyone including head coach George Karl of quitting.  ”Just don't sit there!” Anthony screamed at his coach, who was sitting on the bench watching his backup players finish yet another blow-out loss to the Lakers. These comments have sparked some debate among the Nugget camp, who took spent no time on the court on Sunday to “regroup” and “re-energize”.  Denver forward Linas Kleiza assumed the role of peacekeeper: ”I don't think he meant it Nobody quit…Nobody quit on each other It's just him being the competitor he is. Sometimes things like that come out of peoples' mouths after tough losses.” The Lakers, meanwhile, have remained quiet about the whole situation as they continue to dominate like they've done all season. They lead the season series against Denver 6-0.Whatever surprises tonight may bring to the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is convinced that he and his team are up to the challenge.”Close-out games are always very, very tough…They play loose and they tend to fight a lot more. It's going to be tough.”But would he even consider playing less than his best and giving Denver the possibility of winning? Absolutely not.”You never want to give a team any kind of momentum,”Bryant heard the ever familiar “MVP!” chant as he walked onto the court in Denver, and said that he extremely comfortable, and ready to close out the series.The bottom line is this: Los Angeles hasn't scored fewer than 102 points this postseason, and they have won all previous playoff games by a margin of at least 14 points.The only reason that could change is if Denver has a dying spark Kobe and Company are determined to put it out. . Financial Times Stocks  |  Global Markets BUILDING CONTRACT PRICES DROP Tender prices for new construction contracts are set to dropat the fastest rate since the early 1990s this year as builderscompete for a decreasing number of contracts, according tofigures released by the Building Cost Information Service.

Thevalue of new contracts fell 2 percent in the last quarter of2008 and prices are set to worsen by another eight percent over2009. The BCIS, a division of the Royal Institution of CharteredSurveyors, claims that prices will not turn positive until 2011.The deterioration is a cause for concern because mostcontractors operate on profit margins of just 1 or 2 percent. SETBACK AS HOME LOAN APPROVALS FALL Signs of recovery in the housing market suffered a setbackon Monday as mortgage approvals for homes fell last month forthe first time since November. The British Bankers’ Associationreports that mortgage approvals in March decreased by 7 percentto 26,097 after rising from a record low of 17,895 in November.Approvals are now 25 percent lower than a year ago and 67percent below the November 2006 peak.

Seema Shah, of CapitalEconomics, said housing market activity is “unlikely to make asteady and significant recovery this year.” DISCLOSURE OF PAY GAP WILL HIT JOBS, WARNS BUSINESS The government has been accused by the British Chamber ofCommerce of giving meaningless assurances as it confirmed plansthat will force employers to disclose any pay gap betweenaverage pay for men and women. Harriet Harman said the movewould help the UK recover from recession and build a “fair”future. However, David Frost, director-general of the BCC, saidthe bill would discourage job creation, “We already know thathalf of small firms struggle to navigate employment law and thiswill just add to the problem”. Katja Hall, CBI director of humanresources policy, warned that the gender pay gap can bemisinterpreted since it “does not compare men and women doingthe same job”. SMITH DROPS PLANS FOR STATE WEB DATABASE Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has abandoned plans for a singledatabase in an effort to allay fears that all web use and phonecalls would be held by the government, and that the data wouldbe concentrated in one place.

Companies such as BT (BT.L),Virgin Media and Carphone Warehouse (CPW.L) will instead beasked to monitor such communications traffic. Smith acknowledgedthat such a move would put a considerable burden on the mediagroups, but argued that they already provide data to police andsecurity services and added that they would be “recompensed”.The Home Office has earmarked over two billion pounds over tenyears to fund the new approach. BANKS FACE HIGHER CAPITAL RATIOS The UK’s “too-big-to-fail” banking groups could be forced toput aside billions of pounds of extra capital as a safety netagainst future financial crises, after the chancellor decidednot to split them up. Alistair Darling is expected to announcein May that banks including HSBC (HSBA.L), Royal Bank ofScotland (RBS.L) and Barclays (BARC.L) could be forced to holdmore capital than the sector average. The move would suggestthat some banks are too big to collapse and that higher capitalratios are the penalty for relying on taxpayers to rescue them.Darling’s banking white paper will call for close internationaland national regulation of large banks.

It is hugely in the continent’s interests that the African Union should be seen as effective and, for that to happen, this initiative has to succeed.The third reason for optimism is that it is also in the interests of the developed world that Africa should become an economic success story. That is not because of any drag on the world economy for, sadly, Africa, with less than 4 per cent of world output, does not pull enough weight to matter. Nor, in terms of Western finance, do the debts matter much either: the numbers are huge in local terms, but in terms of the output of the developed world or the debts of the developed world, they are tiny.It is also in the interests of the developed world to see Africa succeed not in economic terms but in human terms. It is an affront to our sense of fairness and decency that the gap between one part of the world and another should now be larger than at any time in the history of humankind. That gap is not just on the narrow measure of GDP per head, but in terms of health, life expectancy and so on.

And it is not just our sense of fairness that is affronted, our security is threatened by differentials that grow ever wider.That leads to the fourth reason for optimism It is quite easy for the developed world to help on trade. Too much of the criticism of the West from both inside and outside Africa has focussed on debt relief and too little on access to markets.Western protection of agriculture has been one of the most serious barriers to African exports, and such protection will continue for a while yet. But there has been a change of mood, if not yet of practice, towards agricultural subsidies. In addition, there is great scope for making detailed amendments to our trade barriers that increase access without damaging our own interests – in fact, quite the reverse.

If the G8 meeting leads, as it may well do, to a series of specific, detailed, measures to open markets to African exports, then it will have done something useful. The step may not be huge, but it will be a start.And fifth, the plan shows a new awareness within Africa of the need to counter the image it projects to the world. You cannot solve a problem until you acknowledge that one exists.Now you may say that countries like Algeria and Nigeria are hardly world class in the human rights league. You could point to South Africa’s failure to engage successfully in Zimbabwe. But at least there is an acute awareness that the behaviour of some – indeed, too many – African states is deeply damaging to the interests of the rest. Private investment is the key to growth, but investors are shy animals and a fright on one side of the continent will scatter the creatures on another.Investors, like the rest of us, need to differentiate – not to bundle the whole continent together and label it a basket case There are success stories in Africa.

Someone alert the authorities: Kid Rock’s been given the keys to the CMT Music Awards.

If any spotty, overweight nerd can watch one man’s battle against nature from the keyboard in the front room, can we really say that Roger Mear is in the wilderness? No, the journey he and Borge Ousland are really undertaking is one of the mind.Which is all fine and good, but if it’s such a private quest, why the big publicity fanfare? The fact is that these days you can’t even start without sponsorship Just setting foot on Antarctica incurs a fee. Mr Mear’s expedition will cost pounds 94,888; so far pounds 75,820 has been raised. Sainsbury’s has put up pounds 25,000 and Planet Online, an Internet company, pounds 10,000 And the modern quid pro quo of sponsorship is visibility. The Internet is the modern medium for telling your tale.But that in turn leads to the question of whether Mr Mear will really be alone Unsupported, certainly; and proud of it. But if the Internet’s 30 million users are gazing over his shoulder as he slogs along, is it a personal adventure – or just more fodder for a world that turns any journey of the mind into a disposable video experience and chance for a quick marketing push?.

The heavily fortified walls of the Kremlin have always held many secrets, even in these post-glasnost times. But one thing can now be said with reasonable certainty: a king-making process has begun within its ante-rooms and corridors in which the future of Russia’s fragile democracy is at stake. Even if Boris Yeltsin recovers from his latest bout of heart trouble, he will now be under intense pressure to step aside. His inner circle seems likely to conclude that he is so enfeebled, both physically and politically, that the time has come to anoint a successor, albeit one who doesn’t immediately assume the mantle. Russians still remember with embarrassment the long physical decline of Leonid Brezhnev; no one wants a repetition of that painful fiasco.
For the Kremlin ruling elite, this is a disaster. While a healthy and boisterous Yeltsin was in charge, they knew they could hang on to power, even if this meant pressuring him into flouting Russia’s constitution and postponing next year’s presidential elections – which he is currently far too unpopular to win.

There would have been a nasty legal fight with his enemies, and some bleating from abroad, but he would have probably survived.Without Yeltsin, the elections are more likely to go ahead, marking the first democratic transfer of executive power in Russia’s 1,000-year history. Although the West will no doubt wax lyrical about the triumph of democracy, its leaders may be deeply disappointed with the results. None of the likely contenders are as pro-western as Mr Yeltsin, and several are hostile to Western interests.Powerful forces are at work. Some of the Kremlin’s inner circle have made enormous personal profits from Russia’s stumbling progress towards privatisation, ill-gotten fortunes that they will be reluctant to forego. So they will be looking for a dealmaker, an heir who will discreetly agree to grant them immunity from prosecution, as well as their jobs.But he will have to satisfy some tough, perhaps impossible, job requirements.

Hugh Grant seems to have survived exposure of his meeting with Divine Brown, perhaps because he owned up so becomingly on an American chat show and was given such a hard time for his indiscretion by La Hurley in private. A few years ago, Sir Allan Green, then Director of Public Prosecutions, was brought low because he was discovered kerb-crawling in King’s Cross. If Judge Thornton is forced to resign, following publication last Sunday of stills from the tape in the News of the World, the roll call of public figures toppled simply for having sex and paying for it will gain another name.Earlier this month Peter Hobson, the then headmaster of Charterhouse School, resigned after finding himself exposed for visiting a call girl in Guildford. Kundera’s words were probably written with a memory of totalitarian Communism in mind. Yet they have a troubling relevance to our world today, in which the media – as much as the state – increasingly intrudes upon the private realm in the name of the public interest.Take the case of Judge Anthony Thornton, caught by a secret video camera with two prostitutes and, it is alleged, some drugs.

When it becomes the custom and the rule to divulge another person’s private life, we are entering a time when the highest stake is the survival or the disappearance of the individual.’

Milan Kundera, New York Review of Books, September 1995
It sounds extreme. The curtain is not to be tampered with, and curtain-rippers are criminals. Private and public are two essentially different worlds and respect for that difference is the indispensable condition for a man to live free. Curiously, this obvious fact remains unconscious, unacknowledged, forever obscured by lyrical dreams of the transparent glass house, it is rarely understood to be the value one must defend beyond all others. but that we act differently in private from the way we do in public is everyone’s most conspicuous experience; it is the very ground of the life of the individual.

`In private, a person says all sorts of things, slurs friends, uses coarse language, acts silly, tells dirty jokes, repeats himself, makes a companion laugh by shocking him with outrageous talk, floats heretical ideas he’d never admit in public, and so forth … n Dave Bowen, the former Northampton and Wales manager, has died after a short illness at the age of 67

Obituary, page 16. He also said there were “other factors” behind his offer to stand down, including the abuse he suffered after the 2-1 home defeat by Aberdeen on Saturday, Kilmarnock’s fourth loss in a row.. Internazionale, who spent millions of dollars in a close-season spending spree, including the purchase of the England midfielder Paul Ince from Manchester United, trail the leaders, Milan, by eight points.
Suarez will have a tough baptism tonight when Internazionale entertain Lugano from Switzerland in their Uefa Cup first round, second leg after drawing the first leg 1-1.Bob Fleeting, the Kilmarnock chairman, has invited offers for control of the club, which is bottom of the Scottish Premier Division.Fleeting claimed that he has let down his manager, Alex Totten, by failing to provide further funds for new players. Luisito Suarez, the former Inter player, has been put in charge temporarily while the club look for a permanent successor. Bianchi said he accepted responsibility for the team’s problems.

Ottavio Bianchi paid the price for Internazionale’s poor start to the season when he was sacked as coach of the Italian club yesterday after four games of the Serie A campaign. Perhaps the least surprising revelation was the club which had the highest proportion of shirt-buyers: Newcastle, with 61.3 per cent.A high price for satisfaction, Spurs’ victory, page 26Last night’s results, page 27The affluent fanEARNINGS PROFILENational Per cent Premierearnings of League fanspopulation 1994 1995Under pounds 10,000 43.2 19.7 13.1pounds 10-14,999 16.2 29.4 28.8pounds 15-19,999 16.7 21.1 22.1pounds 20-29,999 15.4 20.2 22.7pounds 30,000 or more 8.5 9.6 13.3. This consists of pounds 390 on going to 16 home matches, pounds 200 for five away matches and pounds 85 on club merchandise.On the subject of merchandise the survey found that 48.8 per cent of those asked had bought their club’s shirt in the last 12 months. Aston Villa have the largest proportion earning less than pounds 10,000, at 31.7 per cent, a finding the authors suggest may be a statistical blip.The survey came up with the intriguing figure of pounds 675, as the amount the “average” fan spends following his or her club a season. Though the survey does warn that methodological uncertainties should prevent too much being read into the findings, it does say: “High salary earners are clearly over-represented in the 1995 sample and low earners have fallen substantially, even since the 1994 survey.”A similar trend is found in the backgrounds of fans, with ABC1’s making up 71.4 per cent of those interviewed for the 1995 survey, compared with a national average of 59.4.Somewhat bizarrely Wimbledon, whose football has rarely been likened to champagne, have the highest proportion of rich fans, with 23.6 per cent earning more than pounds 30,000, followed by Chelsea and West Ham, while Leeds have the smallest ratio of high earners, with just 6.3 per cent. In each of the other categories the proportion of football fans is higher, most markedly in the highest-paid category of pounds 30,000 or above.The survey also suggests the trend towards affluence is growing, with the proportion of the highest earners rising from 9.6 per cent in 1994 (when a similar, smaller survey was done) to 13.6 in 1995.

They’ve try to avoid injuries every season, but these days the “Dancing with the Stars” cast is hoping to protect themselves from the flu bug that’s hit the ballroom.

The remainder of the field, some affected by two uphill crashes, were all lagging behind.Unpleasant as the pile-up was, it was not the first time or the worst accident a Tour rider has suffered close to Gap.TV shots yesterday of the bunch swinging down towards the Alpine town at speeds of 90 km an hour on narrow roads made greasy with melted tarmac inevitably recalled the image of Joseba Beloki skidding off a very similar descent three years ago.The Spaniard suffered a broken wrist, a broken leg and fractured his arm in four places and has never fully recovered. I realise I was very lucky.”While Kessler heaved himself back on to the road and into the race – visibly suffering from shock he finished 12 minutes down – Verbrugghe was not so lucky. Having plummeted down a bank and into a ditch, as race doctors surrounded him the last television viewers saw of the Cofidis rider was a bloodied hand and arm, moving listlessly from side to side.Verbrugghe was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg, whilst the third rider to go down, David Ca?, his team jersey ripped to shreds from the crash, suffered a broken collarbone. If the immediate reason for the multiple pile-up were riders skidding on melted tarmac, accumulated fatigue was probably its root cause.After two weeks of hard racing – the last third through strength-sapping temperatures nudging the high thirties – near-exhausted riders tend to have a slower reaction time, making crashes more probable.Yesterday’s last climb before Gap, the relatively easy second category Cote de la Sentinelle, provided yet more evidence of riders losing their mental and physical sharpness.After six kilometres of gentle uphill, just 36 riders of the Tour’s current total of 156 remained in the group closest behind Fedrigo and Commesso. Part of a six-man break on the gruelling 180-kilometre stage through the Alpine foothills, in the final hour the move was suddenly cut in half when three riders slammed into the safety barrier on a badly cambered right-hand bend.
The Belgian Rik Verbrugghe and German Matthias Kessler somersaulted over the barrier, with Verbrugghe’s bike just shaving past Fedrigo’s head.”I felt it strike my body but I could just stay upright.” Fedrigo said afterwards “The road was poorly surfaced and had ruts everywhere There was barely time to control the bike. Leon Haslam closed the gap to 11 points on championship leader Gregorio Lavilla, his Ducati Airwaves team-mate, with two third places..

If making a well-timed lunge for the line ahead of Italian Salvatore Commesso finally earned the local rider Pierrick Fedrigo the first stage win of his career, avoiding a bicycle in mid-flight was no less important a factor. “Today I had a good shot, but I couldn’t get the job done,” he admitted.Rossi has now moved into second in the championship, just 26 points behind Hayden with seven races remaining. Pedrosa and Melandri are contenders but Capirossi has probably seen his chance slip away.Former champion Shane Byrne scored his first victory of the season when he won one of two races in the Bennetts British Superbike series at Knockhill yesterday. But the British rider James Ellison picked up championship points for riding his Tech 3 Yamaha to 13th place.”We made a modification to the bike for the warm-up session and another for the race, and the bike was good,” said Rossi.Hayden was less happy with his eighth podium position of the season. Hayden finished third, with Pedrosa in fourth place from Marlboro Ducati’s Loris Capirossi.The American rider Kenny Roberts Jnr, who had qualified second on his British-built KR 211V, crashed and also took out Makoto Tamada on the Konica Minolta Honda.

But none of Rossi’s rivals can match his street-fighter qualities, and he re-took the lead on lap 28, to win by less than two-tenths of a second from Melandri. Dani Pedrosa, the 20-year-old Spaniard who won the previous round in Britain two weeks ago, had qualified on pole for the fourth time this season on his Repsol Honda, and looked set to record his third victory. Rossi had to start from the fourth row after his technicians had been unable to find a good set-up on qualifying tyres for his Camel Yamaha. But he attacked the 2.284-mile Sachsenring circuit with typical aggression and needed less than half the race distance to capture the lead from Marco Melandri on his Fortuna Honda.
Melandri, Pedrosa and his team-mate Nicky Hayden, the championship leader, maintained pressure on Rossi, and Melandri passed him on the 27th of the 30 laps. Valentino Rossi yesterday demonstrated why he is a motorcycling legend despite being under 30 by wresting victory in the German MotoGP in Berlin from a situation that had looked desperate at the end of qualifying. The 34-year-old Birchfield Harrier managed to achieve the development mark of 13.65m despite a late scare over the state of her knee, but she insists she will not consider seeking to defend her European title unless she can surpass the ?te standard of 14.10m – more than a metre below her best.Greg Rutherford, who is 19, will travel to Sweden with rising expectations after seeing off his two big long jump rivals, Chris Tomlinson and Nathan Morgan, with an effort of 8.26m, one centimetre less than Tomlinson’s British record..

She suffered in the heat and finished ninth to Jo Pavey in 16:29.96.The previous day’s action had produced two outstanding performances. The first came from Ashia Hansen in the triple jump – her first competitive appearance since the knee injury that many felt had brought her career to an untimely end two years ago. But the World Championship finalist’s time of 46.00 means he has still not got the ?te qualifying mark of 45.80 this season.The Commonwealth triple jump champion, Phillips Idowu, did no harm to his Gothenburg prospects with victory in 17.50m.Rebecca Lyne underlined her growing status at 800 metres – where she became the third fastest Briton behind Kelly Holmes and Kirsty Wade last month with 1:58.20 – as she earned her first senior national title in 2:00.31.There was relative disappointment, though, for 16-year-old Emily Pidgeon, who had been seeking a possible claim to a Gothenburg trip by surpassing the 5,000m development mark of 15min 40sec. Hill could only manage fourth place in 1.48.07, but he should get the third discretionary place given that he has already surpassed the qualifying mark of 1.46.00.Tim Benjamin, still struggling to regain his best form following the hamstring injury that prevented him competing in the Commonwealth Games in March, duly won the 400m, holding off the 19-year-old who finished fifth in Melbourne, Martyn Rooney. If that was so, the 32-year-old may have run his last big international event, given that he failed to reach yesterday’s 100m final and did not choose to contest his main event, the 200m, yesterday.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t already given “Big Suh” a couple hand offs in practice to see if he can hang on to the ball.If he demonstrates in practice that he can take a handoff cleanly and not fumble, I say give him a shot.Imagine this formation on a third and short. Nebraska goes to a heavy set of three tight ends, lines up a fullback and Suh at running back.Clearly, Suh isn’t going to break a defender down at the line of scrimmage and scamper for a long touchdown. I think Hague has the upper hand in this fight though it could go either way.

Newly promoted Beeston led Southgate by an Ashley Garratt penalty corner goal before an equaliser came from Billy Waugh with three minutes left.The day’s leading goalscorer was Surbiton’s Greg Nicol, who hit all four in their 4-0 win at Sheffield, while Mark Cullen scored twice for Chelmsford in their 3-2 win at Hull.Slough and Ipswich maintained maximum points in the women’s National League on Saturday to head the Premier Division. His second prize of pounds 83,320 left him pounds 45,249.48 ahead of Langer in his attempt to finish as the European No 1 for the fifth successive year.Montgomerie was all smiles at the closing ceremony but he had been far from happy at the ninth hole when, disturbed by a cameraman, he put a simple pitch shot into the water guarding the green.He bogeyed the hole and went from joint second to sixth but made birdies at the 13th, 15th and 17th to pip his Ryder Cup colleague Thomas Bjorn, who shot 69 for 274, for second place.. He duly completed his 38th European Tour victory and his 10th in his native Germany to win the pounds 125,000 first prize with an aggregate of 267.
Colin Montgomerie, who hit 68, took second place on 273, and was delighted with his finish despite being six shots adrift. Bernhard Langer yesterday followed up his marvellous round on Saturday when he won the Linde German Masters in Berlin, shooting a fourth- round 70 to win by six shots. Langer had virtually won the tournament on Saturday when his 60 had left him seven shots ahead of the field.

Yesterday he made certain of securing the title when he birdied three of his first five holes, though he could not reproduce his startling form of the third round. Some Picture’s attempt to land greyhound racing’s “Triple Crown” failed miserably when he trailed in last in the Irish Derby Final at Shelbourne Park, Dublin, on Saturday. The race was won by the other British-trained runner, Toms The Best, who is trained by Nick Savva at Walthamstow.
Toms The Best, who beat Vintage Prince by a length, was returned at odds of 4-1 in winning only his first race of the six-round competition.Some Picture, who had prevously won both the English and Scottish Derbys and stood to land a bonus of pounds 100,000 if successful in Ireland, was slowly away and was baulked at the second bend.. We call him `square wheels’ at home because he has got a funny little action.”Ashraakat, Britain’s main hope for the Prix Marcel Boussac, failed to make an impression as victory went to the Criquette Head-trained Loving Claim, who is now 5-1 favourite, with Embassy, for the 1,000 Guineas.. I made sure I tightened the buttons properly this year.”Carmine Lake was providing Britain with its ninth success in the last 10 runnings of the Prix de l’Abbaye and was lucky to get there at all. “I am against her running on the dirt with her knee the way it is. It wouldn’t be a good idea.”Earlier, Frankie Dettori had the huge British contingent in the stands roaring their approval when Decorated Hero landed the Prix du Rond Point.Dettori, who notched a treble on the first day of the meeting, on horses trained by the Newmarket-based Saeed bin Suroor and John Gosden, kept Decorated Hero going in the final furlong to hold Kaldou Star.Gosden, again the winning trainer, said: “Frankie said he would sit on the tail of the favourite and make him race, look him in the eye and see if he was good enough.”Decorated Hero only just gets a mile but he is a brave little horse.

Arthritis in the knee had restricted her to just one previous outing this year and this may be her last race.”The arthritis troubled her last season as well and for most of this year I haven’t been able to train her,” Chapple-Hyam said.Because of her condition, the trainer is not keen on a tilt at the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. “Last Monday was very depressing, but I fancied Carmine Lake very strongly coming into this race Her saddle slipped when she was fifth last year. Pau: Tries Aucagne, Claverie, Martin, penalty try; Conversions Aucagne 2.. British-based trainers may have been out of luck in the Arc, but they dominated the rest of the weekend at Longchamp winning six races and walking off with the championship events for both stayers and sprinters, writes John Cobb.

“Horses make you laugh and they make you cry,” Peter Chapple-Hyam revealed yesterday. Punters everywhere will empathise and, as Chapple- Hyam was delivering these words from the winner’s enclosure at Longchamp, you can bet which way the corners of his mouth were turned on this occasion.
The man from Manton had just seen his Carmine Lake win France’s top sprint, the Prix de l’Abbaye to compliment the trainer’s success with Chief Contender in that country’s top event for stayers, the Prix du Cadran, the previous day.It was a glorious conclusion to a week that had begun with the loss of four horses from his stable -gobbled up by the Godolphin cheque book.”It is unbelievable,” Chapple-Hyam said. Another Shepherd penalty gave Caledonia a 13-12 lead at half-time which Shepherd extended after 51 minutes with another penalty.David Officer squeezed through for the second try and Shepherd’s conversion made it 23-12 with 15 minutes remaining and seven minutes later Kerr sold Bernat-Salles a superb dummy for the decisive third score.Despite Aucagne converting his own try and another in the dying minutes from substitute Sebastian Claverie, Caledonia held on.Caledonia: Tries Kerr, D Officer, Wainwright; Conversions Shepherd 3; Penalties Shepherd 3. Caledonia 30

Pau 24
A stirring second-half display maintained Caledonia’s faint hopes of a European Cup quarter-final play-off place as they pulled off a surprise victory over Pau yesterday.Leading 13-12 at half-time through two Rowan Shepherd penalties and a converted Rob Wainwright try, they upped the tempo after the break and survived a late Pau comeback to hang on for a vital win.Pau, with the threat of a further pounds 15,000 fine hanging over them following their first encounter with Llanelli, seemed unusually subdued in the opening period, and with two heavy defeats on their travels behind them Caledonia were also slow to gain momentum.It was 20 minutes before the first of Shepherd’s six successful kicks opened the scoring from a penalty, only for the French wing, Yannick Martin, to go over in the corner immediately afterwards.Following a succession of tap penalties close to the Pau line Wainwright picked up and drove over from 10 yards, Shepherd adding the conversion.But when left wing John Kerr obstructed his opposite number, Philippe Bernat-Salles, the referee awarded Pau a penalty try and David Aucagne added the extra two points. Glasgow: Try McGrandles; Conversion Hayes; Penalties T Hayes (5).Swansea: M Back; S Davies, M Taylor, S Gibbs (capt), R Rees; A Williams, R Jones (A Booth, 61); C Anthony, C Wells, I Buckett (C Loader, 55), D Niblo, J Griffiths, A Reynolds, R Appleyard, P Moriarty.Glasgow: C Sangster (G Fraser, 63); D Stark, C Simmers, M McGrandles, J Craig; T Hayes, F Stott; G McLlwham, G Bulloch (capt), A Kittle, S Begley, G Perrett, J Shaw, I Sinclair, F Wallace.Referee: G Black (Ireland).. They never dictated matters and midway through the second half, there was only a two points difference after some slack defending allowed the centre Matt McGrandles to sprint over for a superb try.With the Cook Island’s international outside-half Tommy Hayes on song with his boot, including a penalty from halfway, the threat was always there of Swansea facing Wasps with only pride at stake.That there will be more, much more, resting on Sunday’s trip, was down in no small measure to Scott Gibbs playing despite still suffering from flu.The Lions centre scored their first try with a typical charge for the corner and saved Swansea with a crunching tackle on James Craig.Rhodri Jones got the other try from a kick and chase, and his half-back partner Aled Williams contributed 20 points with the boot.Swansea: Tries Gibbs, Jones; Conversion Willliams; Penalties A Williams (6). “We will go to Wasps in a positive frame of mind,” said their backs coach, Kevin Hopkins, the former Wales centre.

If the game was still under something of a cloud from the 1994 players’ strike, then the Year of the Bat changed all that: it brought back the sense of wonder, history and personal achievement that is so vital for baseball to cast its magic on a national audience.While the batters took the headlines last year, though, it is pitchers who win games, and that was where all of the most interesting pre-season trading centred. The fans were treated to a magnificent spectacle in 1998, as McGwire and Sammy Sosa chased each other towards, through and then beyond the home-run record. The San Diego Padres were squaring up to the Colorado Rockies in Monterrey, with the season beginning in earnest today.The expectations ahead of that first pitch are pretty high. That puts tremendous pressure on the sport’s big names to perform.
The opening game of this season was due to be played in Mexico last night, the first time it has been held outside the US and Canada. And baseball is breaking records of another kind – for money – as the salaries keep spiralling upwards with the Dow Jones Index. In a sport that is obsessed with statistics, the 1999 season could well be another one for the history books. It will doubtless see more records challenged and broken, though it seems difficult to believe that Mark McGwire’s home-run record can be surpassed.

The sport proved once again last year that it has the power to surprise. IT MAY be that 1998 was the best year for baseball this decade, and it may be that afterwards everything is an anti-climax But don’t count on it.

Ambrose claimed his fifth wicket of the innings, finding last man Glenn McGrath’s edge for a catch to the keeper. When Miller arrived, Australia were 242 for 8 and Waugh was in danger of running out of partners. Miller’s approach to the situation was forthright and immediate, paying particular attention to Ambrose.Lara had to turn to the more gentle offerings of Jimmy Adams’ left-arm spin which did the trick in six balls, Miller cross-batting a catch to mid-wicket.

He then swiung the game Australia’s way by removing Jimmy Adams, caught behind without scoring, and after trapped Ridley Jacobs leg before, Hooper was left to carry the innings.Lara’s brilliance turned what had been a memorable day to an unforgettable one for Miller, who had earlier lashed 41 off 38 balls and removed Campbell and Griffith in his first two overs.After Curtly Ambrose seized the initiative for the West Indies with three quick wickets in the morning, Miller dominated a stand of 53 with captain Steve Waugh as Australia recovered to a total of 303.Ambrose had dispatched Healy, Dale and MacGill, all to slip catches off tentative edges, within the first 50 minutes. Carl Hooper then came in and kept the score ticking over until Dale gained some reward for his efforts, trapping Joseph lbw late in the day. He hit two sixes off the leg-spinner and one off the medium- pace of Dale. In top gear, he moved from 50 to 100 from 21 balls with two sixes and seven fours. But he could not master McGrath and it was fitting that he eventually claimed Lara’s wicket. He took a little time to find his bearings, had his luck when Miller missed his catch and MacGill missed the stumps on a run out chance in the same over.Lara wasted no time seizing on the opportunity to exploit the bowlers’ inexperience.

It left the West Indies 136 for 3, replying to 303, and brought some sanity back to the proceedings.Lara came in after the West Indies openers, Sherwin Campbell and Adrian Griffith, had fallen cheaply to edged catches off Miller, operating in his medium-pace mode. He completed an even 100 off 82 balls in 96 minutes, so dominating a partnership of 116 with Dave Joseph for the third wicket that Joseph contributed only 15.
Two balls later, 55 minutes into the final session, the persevering McGrath ended the Easter Sunday entertainment, finding Lara’s glove with a bodyline bouncer for wicket-keeper Ian Healy to complete a wide leg-side catch, inches from the grass. Badly dropped by Colin Miller at mid-wicket when 14 off his old adversary, Glenn McGrath, Lara proceeded to lay waste the three inexperienced Australian bowlers – Miller, Adam Dale and Stuart MacGill – with savage disdain. “My back is sore more than anything else,” he said.Results, Digest, page 11.

BRIAN LARA continued to decimate Australia’s bowling, and spirit, on the second day of the fourth Test here yesterday with an assault even more ferocious than his 213 in the second Test and his match-winning, unbeaten 153 in the third. “What is disappointing is that I am beginning to hit the ball better, but I can’t get the ball in the hole.”Woosnam will contemplate returning to the broomhandled version at Augusta but more importantly will first get treatment for the back injury he suffered on Friday. I might do well, I might not.”While Nick Faldo closed with a 72, Ian Woosnam was so frustrated with his putting that he handed over his putter to a nine-year-old boy in the gallery after his 75 “My short game is diabolical It is driving me nuts,” the Welshman said. I’m not going there with any expectations, I’m just going to play It is just another tournament.
