Nothing like a mid-summer hockey highlight, amirite?! This one comes from a recent KHL intra-squad scrimmage for the KHL's AK Bars Kazan. That's 20-year old Vladimir Tkachyov taking a new shootout move for a spin before firing it into the back of the net. Pretty impressive, but it would take some real balls to try that during an actual game. [PuckDaddy] The post Well, this KHL shootout goal was absolutely ridiculous appeared first on The Nosebleeds.

DEVASTATED children are appealing for help after their school project was destroyed by the weekend's storms.
Matchborough First School pupils returned to school on Monday (April 30) after a weekend of heavy rain and wind to find their greenhouse had been wrecked beyond repair.
The equipment had only been at the Matchborough Way school for two weeks after children worked hard to collect over 8,000 supermarket vouchers in return for the greenhouse - which was part of the school's bid to become a School in Bloom this summer.
Members of the gardening club had planted a variety of flower and vegetable seeds which were set to be planted around the grounds later this term before the competition in June.
Now they are appealing for any resident or business with a spare greenhouse to come forward and offer them use of it to get their competition bid back on track.
Headteacher Jackie Harris said: "It is upsetting to see the children's hard work turned upside down.
"If anyone can help us to put the school back on track for this year's Schools in Bloom competition we would appreciate hearing from them."
Anyone who can help is asked to call the school on 01527 883880.

Portions From a Wine Stained Notebook - Charles Bukowski (2008)
So what do you do when you are feeling oppressed by nuns and sick to your stomach? Read some Bukowski, that's what. It was a no brainer reaching for this, the first of two recent volumes of previously uncollected short pieces, including some from his infamous "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" columns and other rare Bukowski miscellany. Bukowski's writing makes you feel better, it soothes the rough edges of life and gives you a smelly beer-soaked hug and a cuff around the ear for daring to have any pretenses. Portions From a Wine Stained Notebook covers all the Bukowski bases, from musings over the stupidity and cruelty of humanity, to the greatness, or not, of other writers, drunkenness, perverted sex, John Fante, women, assorted lowlifes, tragedy, bathos and pathos - sometimes all at once. Although a fine Bukowski collection, it is not quite up to the standard of Absence of the Hero (2010) and some of the pieces are bordering on substandard for Bukowski. Still, it's well worth a read for Bukowski enthusiasts; others should start with the immortal novels, Post Office (1971) and Women (1978).

Sacred Hearts - Sarah Dunant (2009)
Sacred Hearts is historical fiction set in a convent in Ferrara in sixteenth century Italy. Medieval political intrigue melds with the rigors of convent living as the narrative follows the struggles of a rebellious fifteen-year-old novice called Serafina and the egregious demands this places on the Abbess and the apothecary, Zuana, whom is also the most engaging character. Read for the library book club whilst under the influence of various viral invasions (yes, they were medieval on my ass, so to speak), this novel did not sit well with me. Dunant's prose style is merely adequate, bordering on dull. Although the historical aspects were reasonably interesting, it was not enough to sustain my attention and provide a counterbalance against the moribund narrative pace, the endless whispered prayers, the smoothing down of habits and acts of god caused by termites. I'll remember Sacred Hearts as book club fodder and although it has its appeal for some readers I struggled, which forces my hand into giving the novel a mediocre rating.

The Weary Narrative
Like a good book life can be complex and demanding and sometimes it can be very wearing indeed. It's been a winter's end blighted by disease and after five weeks with various illnesses I find myself slowed down to a crawl with something akin to post viral fatigue; so I've decided to par back my life in order to rest and that includes sitting in front of a computer screen in excess of what I already have to do at work. I've decided that at least till the end of the year I'm going to write one paragraph about each book I read, to both help me recuperate and to refresh my attitude. Hopefully it will be a great paragraph though!
My malaise has also led me to the decision that once I start writing more I'm going to focus on fiction rather than the blog, for a while at least. Unlike Mr Charles Bukowski (above) after he quit working at the post office, I don't have that much time to write, so once I start to feel better I'm going to concentrate on some short stories that have been percolating for while. Now, time to rest...

Man Plus - Frederik Pohl (1976)
Frederik Pohl is a science fiction great who published work between 1937 and 2011 before he passed away in 2013. Pohl won multiple awards, including the Nebula Award for Man Plus. He followed that up with a Hugo and a Nebula in 1977 for Gateway. Man Plus features a brilliant premise in which a human, Roger Torraway, is biologically engineered to live on Mars unaided by a suit or breathing equipment. Such a premise enabled Pohl to explore the outer limits of technology and the future of space travel. Although we are no where near developing cyborgs, humanity is beginning to take significant steps in space and there is a real sense of urgency, with the Mars One project and the likes of Steven Hawking warning that humans must become a multi-planet species in order to avoid extinction.
Although Pohl is clever enough not to be specific, Man Plus is set in what appears to be an early twenty first century future. Things are typically going badly for humanity, although forays into space have become common enough for there to have been a number of manned missions to Mars. Tensions are high between the Earth's most powerful countries - America and China, and natural resources have become scarce. Computer modeling indicates that the extinction of humanity is probable and this spurs America to develop the Man Plus program that will enable humans to live on Mars. After the death of the first "monster" Roger Torraway becomes the cyborg savior of humanity (now there's a headline I'd love to see...).
Ostensibly Man Plus is about the colonization of Mars, but perhaps the most significant theme is humanity's relationship with technology. Cyborgs are a common science fiction trope, but Pohl's treatment is uniquely visceral. Torraway is an everyman astronaut whose fallible humanity makes his transformation into a monstrous cyborg profoundly affecting. The horror of what the surgeons do to his body is palpable because Pohl succeeds in making a fairly improbable near future biotechnology believable. Torraway effectively becomes a Martian demon with superhuman strength and augmented senses. The sequences in which he is testing his new found senses are almost psychedelic in nature; it would have thoroughly entertained all those mid seventies acid-heads.
The great strength of Man Plus is the portrayal of a man who no longer recognizes himself as human, yet is still governed by human psychology. There is a brilliant sequence in which Torraway, desperate to see his wife, escapes the desert complex he's sequestered in and appears in the bedroom of his home. The interaction between Dorrie and Torraway perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the 'uncanny valley' not that long after the concept was invented. Pohl also manipulates the reader into both enjoying the spectacle of Torraway as cyborg monster and engaging emotionally with the tragedy of his lost humanity.
Pohl's writing style is now perhaps a touch old fashioned and the fact that the story is told in hindsight means that some narrative tension is sacrificed. To Pohl's credit the hard science of travelling and surviving on Mars in Man Plus is believable. When the expedition finally makes it to Mars what transpires is exciting and intriguing. As with many of the great science fiction novels there is a twist. Perhaps I've read a few too many as I guessed what was happening about two thirds of the way through, but it didn't spoil my enjoyment in the end. There is a 1994 sequel called Mar's Plus for those curious as to what happened next; isn't that the essence of science fiction, the question of what happens next? Although improbable in some aspects, Man Plus captures the sense of what it must be like to be on the cutting edge of what is scientifically possible; something that the participants of the Mars One project must be familiar with. They may not be about to be transformed into cyborg Martian freaks, but if they succeed it will transform humanity in ways that perhaps we have yet to imagine.

The Complete Short Stories - J.G.Ballard (2001)
As a teenager in the 1980's J.G. Ballard was a name that had been dropped by some musicians I admired, such as Ian Curtis and David Bowie. Dutifully I went out and bought Ballard's novel Crash (1973). I was ill prepared for Ballard's psycho sexual narrative about a character with an unhealthy obsession with car crashes. I haven't read it again since, but it has certainly stayed with me. Ballard is a unique writer who is not easily pigeonholed into a specific genre; some of his short stories can by recognized as science fiction, but the majority are distinctively his own voice. This is the definitive collection, with 96 stories across 1184 pages and like Crash, most of them are now nestled in my subconscious, destined to emerge and take flight like the sand-rays that populate Vermillion Sands.
The stories set in Vermillion Sands, a surreal coastal desert-scape dotted with settlements, are perhaps Ballard's most impressive short stories. Ballard wrote the Vermillion Sands stories between 1956 and 1970. This collection opens with one of his first published stories, Prima Belladonna (1956), which is set in Vermillion Sands. The Vermillion Sands stories are populated by listless, often psychologically intense protagonists who encounter other characters that are eccentric, or are involved in surreal and intense situations. These stories contain some of Ballard's best imagistic prose. Vermillion Sands itself is a desert dream-scape; an environment of the subconscious that compliments the intense psychology of many of the adventurers, drifters and artists staying there. The desert of Vermillion Sands features sonic sculptures, rocks that grow and emit sounds when influenced by people or the environment around them. They feature heavily in Venus Smiles (1957) and The Singing Statues (1962), but appear in most of the other Vermillion Sands stories. Perhaps my favourite of these stories is Cry Hope, Cry Fury (1966), which features typically psychologically fraught characters creating paintings that are made with photosensitive paint that interprets an image of the sitter over many days. As with all the Vermillion Sand stories, the blend of weird technology and intense psychology is spellbinding.
In Ballard's brief one page introduction he states that "Short stories have always been important to me. I like their snapshot quality, their ability to focus intensely on a single subject." He goes on to say that "...there are many perfect short stories, but no perfect novels." Such a statement is, of course, debatable, but a great percentage of these collected stories are either perfect, near perfect or at least satisfyingly thought provoking. It is fascinating to witness Ballard's development across thirty six years of short story writing. There is an evolution of style and ideas across the decades, but perhaps what is most interesting is what they have in common. The complexity of the human psyche held a strong fascination for Ballard. Many of the stories have significant psychological themes, such as My Dream of Flying to Wake Island (1974), in which the protagonist, Melville, is obsessed with digging up wrecked WWII planes from coastal sand dunes and flying to Wake island in the Pacific, which is a near impossible journey. The story is a representation of a mental state, rather than having a plot with a traditional narrative arc, which is the case with many of these short stories. Minus One (1963) is particularly brilliant; set in Green Hill Asylum, the asylum's director decides to deal with the seemingly impossible problem of an escaped inmate by concluding that he didn't actually exist and that he was the result of a mass delusion by the asylum staff. The ultimate problem this creates results in a darkly humorous and disturbing ending.
The environment, both natural and built, and how it can influence humans psychologically features strongly in Ballard's work. I've been reliably informed by a work colleague that the correct term for this is psycho-geography. The coastal desert-scape of the Vermillion Sands stories certainly fits that description. Ballard's infamous experimental story, The Terminal Beach (1964) best represents this theme. A man called Traven lives on an island entirely given over to the machinery of war and nuclear testing; an island that is "...synthetic, a man made artifact..." The synthetic island that Traven lives on is a manifestation of the post war human psyche. It makes for disturbing reading and its effect on the reader is almost subliminal. The psycho-geography theme is taken even further in the 1976 story, The Ultimate City, which is set in a future where fossil fuels have run out and most people live in self sustaining rural settlements. Ballard's protagonist, Halloway, ends up back in a deserted city much like New York and gets caught up in a quest to bring back a portion of the city to how it was before everything changed. It gradually becomes apparent that the transition in Halloway's psyche is a direct result of the built environment, shifting the story from a post apocalyptic adventure into a dark satire on the subtle terrors of modern life.
Ultimately this collection is a tribute to the brilliant sensibility of J.G. Ballard, which has been appropriately labelled 'Ballardian.' Ballard's almost genre-less stories are a world unto themselves and throb with a singular luminous intensity that is wholly satisfying. Ballard's style is literary, experimental, erudite and at times darkly satirical. The scope of Ballard's writing is overwhelming, however many of these stories can be found in smaller collections, which might be a good place to start for the Ballardian novice. The Vermillion Sands stories have been collected in an eponymously titled publication that was first released in 1971, but has been republished many times since. The Vermillion Sands stories are addictive and to paraphrase the late William Burroughs, they give you a literary high; read them and I can guarantee that you'll be ready to move on to this collection.

Burial Rites - Hannah Kent (2013)
|The axe and block used to behead Agnes Magnúsdóttir
I'll get straight to the point: Hannah Kent has written the best debut novel I have ever read. Burial Rites is a superlative piece of historical fiction that was inspired by a year long stay as an exchange student in northern Iceland when Kent was just 17 in 2002. While she was out with her host family she asked about the significance of a valley they were driving through and they pointed out a cluster of three hills and told her about Agnes Magnúsdóttir, the last person to be executed in Iceland in 1830. Nearly ten years later Kent chose the story of Agnes as the subject for the novel she would write for her PHD.
Burial Rites is an intensely emotional and psychological document of an obscure event in the history of Iceland that displays Kent's ability to write complex and nuanced characters. Agnes, a morally ambiguous and complex character is central to Burial Rites, however all of the other characters are also brilliantly realised, giving the novel great depth. After her trial Agnes is removed from a makeshift prison and is taken to the home of the Jonsson family to wait out her last days. The Jonsson family are torn between duty to state bureaucracy, in the form of the pompous and stern Blondal, and their fear of the murderess in their midst. Charged as the savoir of her soul, the youthful priest Toti is at first tested by Agnes' request that he help her through her last days, but is then dedicated to her beyond the call of his religious duty. The relationship between Toti and Agnes allows the story of Agnes' life to be revealed at a natural pace, making it a brilliantly subtle narrative device to generate tension. The Jonsson daughters, Steina and Lauga, are divided in their reactions to Agnes' presence. Their mother, Margret, is initially distrustful, yet the presence of Agnes ends up bringing out the best in her. There is a particularly poignant scene in which the two women share a late night hot milk whilst Agnes tells of the events that led her to her fate. Agnes and Margaret are powerfully complex female characters that are so real and vital that you feel like you've shared many months with them in their badstofa, the Icelandic communal living and sleeping space used during that era.
The fact that Kent had lived in the area for a year and had then conducted six weeks of research to uncover the available records concerning the murders Agnes was involved in no doubt significantly helped her write such a quality novel. Letters and documents from the era feature throughout the novel, giving a harsh bureaucratic contrast to the tragic events and their aftermath. Such details give Burial Rites some historical credence, but it is the brilliance of Kent's prose that really stands out. Kent's prose style is beautifully poised and pared back; there's nothing excessive and nor is there anything wasted. The bleak landscape of Iceland is unavoidable, yet not once does Kent overdo it with florid adjectives; nor does she waste the metaphorical power of the Icelandic environment. Her descriptive powers are such that the reader is right there with the characters, trudging through the alien landscape and huddling in the badstofa on freezing cold nights. Kent also generates compelling narrative tension by contrasting her third person omniscient narrative with sections in Agnes' profoundly authentic first person voice.
Ultimately Burial Rites acts as an affirmation of the worth of historical fiction. Historians have been known to be suspicious of historical fiction, worried that authors distort facts and invent persons or situations that never occurred, giving readers a false impression of important historical events. Historians do have a valid point and I'm sure that some historical fiction does lead to inaccurate assumptions about the past; however a novel like Burial Rites brings alive the past, allowing readers to experience what it might have been like to be alive in an otherwise unknowable past. Kent has done us a great service, as it is unlikely that most people outside of Iceland would have ever known about Agnes Magnúsdóttir. Read Burial Rites and you will know exactly what it would be like to live through your last hours knowing that your head was going to be removed by an axe on top of a lonely Icelandic hill in the depths of a nineteenth century winter. The last chapter of Burial Rites is one of the most chilling and emotionally intense endings to a novel I have ever read and it will stay with me for a long time to come.
Endnote: Recently I've been wondering whether I've been harsh in my assessments of some of the books I've read recently, having given amazing books my second highest rating of excellent. After reading Burial Rites I find that I was correct in my judgements. Burial Rites deserves the sublime rating. It is the best literary historical fiction novel I have ever read, and that includes Hilary Mantel's Man Booker Prize winning Wolf Hall (2009).

The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark - Carl Sagan (1996)
Carl Sagan was one of a select group of scientists who could successfully communicate complex scientific notions to laypersons. Sagan was an important cosmologist and astrophysicist, but it is his popular science books and documentary television series Cosmos (1980) that will be remembered by the general population. The Demon Haunted World was his last published work before his untimely death in 1996. I remember that my reaction to his death was one of sadness and but also of appreciation. Sagan achieved a great deal while he was alive and in doing so influenced me greatly in my outlook on life and my understanding of the universe.
In the preface to The Demon Haunted World, entitled 'My teachers', Sagan talks about how much his parents taught and encouraged him even though they were laypeople with no knowledge of science. They supported his dream to be an astronomer and inspired him with their down to earth skepticism and sense of wonder. Sagan did a similar thing for me when I watched Cosmos at the impressionable age of ten. Cosmos inspired me and nurtured my fascination with astronomy and the world around me, something that, like Sagan, was supported by my parents. In the latter chapters of The Demon Haunted World Sagan talks about the importance of not only education, but of having books in the home; something that is essential to providing that 'candle in the dark', keeping spurious pseudo-science and superstition at bay. As a librarian I greatly appreciate Sagan's stance. As a society we must never lose sight of the importance of providing egalitarian access to books and information, in particular for the young.
Throughout the main body of The Demon Haunted World Sagan's debunking of pseudoscience is eloquent and, for the most part, compelling. Many of the initial chapters concentrate on UFOs and alien abduction; in particular the typical UFO stories and the so called face of Mars. The publication of The Demon Haunted World coincided with the era of The X-Files and a plethora of pre-millennial conspiracy theories. Once again there is a personal connection here for me, having been a UFO and alien obsessive during my childhood in the 1970's. Spurred on by UFO and alien books and classic 1970's movies such as E.T, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 2001 A Space Odyssey, like Mulder I wanted to believe. I even had my own strong memory of seeing a large white cigar shaped UFO hovering over my neighbor's backyard that I'm sure was real, but would have just been a dream (I dreamt about UFO's constantly). Curiously one of the scientific explanations for alien visitations and abductions that Sagan puts forward is sleep paralysis, something I experienced during my teenage years, although I didn't see aliens (what I did see is another story).
The Demon Haunted World is a fascinating read, but can also be a sobering one. Sagan's passionate argument for a better educated population is profound and important. Sagan reminds us that it is essential to know something of logic and science (amongst other subjects) in order to make sound decisions. Unfortunately the statistics Sagan quotes regarding knowledge, beliefs and education in his home country of America is truly appalling. Only 9% of Americans accept that humans evolved; half of Americans do not know that the Earth orbits the Sun in a year and 63 % of American adults think that humans lived alongside dinosaurs. These statistics are from the 1990's; would they have improved in the last twenty years or so? Unfortunately I doubt it.
Nearly twenty years after the publication of The Demon Haunted World Sagan's argument against blind belief and pseudo-science is more important than ever. When it comes to the pressing issue of climate change humanity is at the crossroads and climate change deniers around the world, including the Abbott led conservative government here in Australia (perhaps the worst offenders of all), could benefit from reading this book. Science is under attack more than ever by non-scientists with dubious agendas and flawed belief systems who portray science and scientists as untrustworthy. The great irony, as Sagan shows, is that scientists go to extreme lengths to make sure that their findings are as accurate as they can possibly be and therefore, by extension, their conclusions too. When it comes to climate change it seems that we still do live in a demon haunted world.
Finally, perhaps the best thing about reading The Demon Haunted World was discovering that Sagan and I shared a very similar outlook toward science. Sagan states early on that: "In its encounter with nature, science invariably elicits a sense of reverence and awe. The very act of of understanding is a celebration of joining, merging, even on a very modest scale, with the magnificence of the Cosmos." Science and a sense of wonder, even a sense of mysticism, are not mutually exclusive. Science is not merely cold reductionism, but provides a deep understanding of the magnificence of the cosmos and therefore of human existence itself.

New York Mets Top Prospect Zack Wheeler to make Debut
New York Mets top prospect Zack Wheeler is making his MLB debut on Tuesday in the second game of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves.
Wheeler will feel right at home as he grew up 30 miles away from Atlanta and will have friends and family in the stands. Mets fans have been waiting a long time for this move since they have not had much else to look forward to aside from Matt Harvey (starting first game of the doubleheader) every fifth game.
The hard-throwing righty was acquired in the 2011 trade that sent OF Carlos Beltran to the San Francisco Giants. Wheeler has spent two full seasons in the Mets minor league system and was inside the top-10 on MLB's top prospect list at the start of the season. He had a 4-2 record with a 3.93 ERA and an impressive 73 strikeouts in only 68.2 innings before being called up the big leagues.
Wheeler has an impressive fastball that clocks in at 96 mph with an impressive curveball to throw hitters off balance. Some scouts in the Mets organization believed that he had better stuff than Harvey when they were assessed in spring training. He's worth taking a chance on in all but the shallowest mixers in fantasy and at 40 percent owned in Y! Sports leagues, you'll likely want to act quickly.
If he has the potential to be anything like Harvey, where he lacks in wins he will make up for it in strikeouts and ERA.

Alex McLeish wants reinforcements at Birmingham for relegation battle
Thursday 30 December 2010
Alex McLeish is looking to bring in a maximum of two players during January to enhance Birmingham's hopes of climbing clear of relegation trouble.
Blues remain in a dogfight near the foot of the table despite impressive recent results that include victory over Chelsea and a draw with Manchester United.
McLeish has stressed the need for City to be more clinical in front of goal.
He has been linked with moves for Tottenham's Robbie Keane, Cardiff's Jay Bothroyd and, on loan, Liverpool's Ryan Babel.
But, while not commenting on specific names, McLeish has clear targets in mind.
He said: "I can't give you names or comment on individuals but we certainly have players on the radar.
"We have targets that we want to bring in to enhance our chances of climbing up the table.
"We are talking about maybe a couple of players, probably two at the most."
McLeish hopes to have news on the future of winger Sebastian Larsson, who will face his former club Arsenal on Saturday, in the next week.
Blues are still in negotiations with the Sweden international whose current contract runs out next summer.
McLeish said: "There is no news as yet. We will hopefully be able to say something next week of sorts.
"We are still in a negotiation process at the moment."
Blues have always given a good account of themselves against Arsene Wenger's team and shared the spoils in the corresponding fixture last season.
McLeish still has realistic ambitions for Birmingham's aims in 2011 and would sacrifice possible glory in the Carling Cup - where City face West Ham in the semi-finals - for another season in the top flight.
He said: "The realistic aspiration for 2011 is the same as since we came back in the Premier League, to finish in the top 17, and that would do us very nicely.
"We've got the League Cup as well but our priority is the Barclays Premier League.
"If you are saying, 'Win the cup but you will relegated' I wouldn't thank you for that.
"We would prefer it the other way around."
McLeish has no fresh injury problems for the visit of the Gunners and could name an unchanged side after the impressive performance against the Red Devils.

Four players receive scholarship releases from South Carolina
Apr 26, 2013, 2:23 PM EDT
On the day that South Carolina announced the addition of seven newcomers (including midyear transfer Tyrone Johnson) the school also announced that four players had their requests to be released from their scholarships granted.
Guards Damien Leonard, Brian Richardson and Eric Smith, and forward RJ Slawson all asked for their releases and received them according to head coach Frank Martin.
"After our team's end of the season meetings, Damien Leonard, Eric Smith, RJ Slawson and Brian Richardson have decided to ask for their release and will not be with the team moving forward," Martin said in a statement released by the school.
"We want to thank them for being tremendous representatives for the University, the Athletics Department and the men's basketball team. We fully support them and wish them the best moving forward."
Of the four players Smith saw the most playing time in Martin's first season at South Carolina, starting 27 of the Gamecocks' 32 games and averaging nearly 28 minutes per contest. The 5-10 point guard averaged 5.7 points and 3.1 assists per game for South Carolina, which finished with a 14-18 overall record (4-14 SEC).
Offensively Richardson, a 6-4 guard from Wilson, N.C., was the most productive with an average of 7.5 points per game. Removing Smith, the other three transfers averaged between 14.8 (Leonard) and 18.2 (Richardson) minutes per game.
With the seven newcomers the allocation of minutes stood to be far different next season, with the Gamecocks adding talented players such as Johnson and freshmen Sindarius Thornwell and Demetrius Henry.

Place the beans in a large bowl with the tomatoes, the chilli, garlic and parsley. Pour in the lemon juice with 5 tablespoons of the oil, season with salt and toss together.
Cut the body pouch of each squid open along one side and score the inner side with the tip of a small sharp knife into fine diamond pattern. Then cut each pouch lengthways in half and then across into 7cm pieces.
Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and add in the squid pieces scored side facing upwards first so they will curl attractively). Also add in the tentacles.

Champion Declan's Moon, getting ready to start in the Santa Catalina Stakes (gr. II) at Santa Anita March 5, worked seven furlongs in 1:25 3/5 at Hollywood Park under regular jockey Victor Espinoza Saturday.Declan's Moon drilled in company with stablemate Power Boy, who clocked the distance in 1:25 4/5.
The gelded son of Malibu Moon , who went a half-mile in :49 3/5 and the last three-eighths in :36, was caught galloping out the extra furlong in 1:38 3/5.
"He got a great workout," trainer Ron Ellis said. "Victor was just standing straight up on him. The best part was that he galloped out four lengths in front of Power Boy. The track was pretty deep today and if anything, it was a touch slow."
Owned by Jay Em Ess Stable, the Maryland-bred Declan's Moon was crowned last year's outstanding 2-year-old colt or gelding after an undefeated season that included the Del Mar Futurity (gr. II), Hollywood Prevue Stakes (gr. III) and Hollywood Futurity (gr. I). The Santa Catalina will be the colt's first start since winning his Eclipse Award. He's earned $507,300.
Ellis also sent out San Vicente Stakes (gr. II) runner-up Don't Get Mad for a half-mile breeze in :49 at Hollywood in preparation for the March 19 San Felipe Stakes (gr. II). The son of Stephen Got Even , owned by B. Wayne Hughes, has won two of his three career starts and has banked $90,290.
Across town at Santa Anita, San Rafael Stakes (gr. II) hero Spanish Chestnut, who will take on Declan's Moon in the Santa Catalina, breezed seven-eighths in 1:26. Stablemate Scipion, who captured the Risen Star Stakes (gr. III) at Fair Grounds in his last start, went six furlongs in 1:14 4/5 in company with Formal Attire, who earned the same time. Scipion is set to return to Louisiana for the March 12 Louisiana Derby (gr. II).
"I am very, very happy with Spanish Chestnut," trainer Patrick Biancone said. "He's a horse who we've put a lot of work into. He needed today's breeze and he did it very well in hand.
"I'm delighted with Scipion's work. We're very lucky with his program as it fits better with the bad weather. If you look at the weather patterns, horses who've raced in the middle of the month are better off than the horses who raced at the beginning of the month."Though Spanish Chestnut missed a work, Biancone isn't too worried about any ill effects on the Florida-bred son of Horse Chestnut for Saturday's 1 1/16-mile race.
"It won't be a problem, but with this weather horses who've just run have an edge. That's why Lukas' horse (Going Wild, who won the Sham Stakes on Feb. 5) is the one to beat."
Spanish Chestnut has won three of five starts with two seconds for earnings of $174,420. Scipion, who has reached the winner's circle twice in five starts with two thirds, has banked $143,240. Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens will be aboard both colts for their next starts.

Commodities » Energy
Oil and natural gas daily review (March 21, 2014)
Crude Oil
Rising equities in the US, fresh sanctions against Russia injected fresh premium in crude markets that supported crude prices. However WTI crude oil contract declined on account of expiration of the contract.
Geo-political tensions are back in picture as the United States expanded sanctions to 20 more prominent Russians, including allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin, in the latest sign of mounting tensions over Moscow's annexation of Crimea.
On the supply side, gasoline inventories at Europe's Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) storage hub are near-six-year highs last week, indicating ample supply. In addition, exacerbating U.S. data that showed domestic crude inventories rose sharply for the second week in a row might exert downside pressure on crude prices.
On the MCX crude prices declined by 0.4 percent to close at Rs.6085/bbl on Thursday.
Natural Gas
EIA Inventories update
The US Energy Department (EIA) released its weekly natural gas inventories report yesterday at 8:00pm IST and inventories declined by 48BCF for the week ending 14th March 2014.
From intraday perspective, crude prices will trade higher on the back of geo-political tensions back in forefront. In addition positive economic indicators from US also help crude prices to gain. The number of Americans filing for jobless benefits hovered near three-month lows last week and factory activity in the Mid-Atlantic region rebounded this month.
However ample inventories in the US as well as gasoline inventories at Amsterdam at near six year high makes supply side ample and can probably pull down prices in the evening session.
In the Indian markets, prices will trade mixed on account of the rupee strength and further developments in the Crimean region.

TORONTO - David Brady of Toronto-based Cream Productions was on his way to work last month when he got a text from "Wild Things" host Dominic Monaghan.
"Do you think we'll get us another season now that we're nominated for an Emmy?" said Brady, recalling the message.
Brady texted back: "What?"
As executive producer of the OLN show, it was a "fantastic surprise" to get the message from "Lost" and "Lord of the Rings" actor Monaghan about their nomination for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program, said Brady.
The award will be presented Saturday as part of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, held a week in an advance of the prime-time awards show.
"Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan" takes audiences to some of the most remote corners of the globe on the hunt for unusual animals and insects. The first two seasons followed Monaghan's quest to find a giant salamander in Japan, a titan beetle in Brazil and a giant spitting cobra in Kenya.
Unscripted programming means a delicate balance between intense planningand embracing spontaneity while shooting, said Brady.
"The biggest challenge is the unknown," said Brady. "We can't guarantee what we are going to get — whether it's the animals we are after, the people we want to meet or the storylines we are after."
But unanticipated drama can often make the best television. This was proven while filming a surgery on an injured elephant in Kenya for episode two of the latest season. The elephant was heavily sedated and after the surgery was given an injection to regain consciousness — which it did quite swiftly, becoming alarmed at the crowd and charging camera operator Frank Vilaca.
Vilaca dropped his camera as he ran for his life from the planet's largest land mammal, which can weigh anywhere between 5,000 and 14,000 pounds. But Brady kept filming on his iPhone, which he had out and rolling for personal use.
"I'm not a trained cameraman but I will pat myself on the back," said Brady laughing. "I ran and I filmed."
The iPhone footage made it into the show, showing Vilaca narrowly escape the elephant's fury as another crew member jumped in front of the elephant, managing to stop the animal's charge.
Although it only lasted a few seconds, Brady characterized the experience as "shocking."
"It definitely created some adrenalin," he said.
Brady only makes it out to the field once or twice a season and witnessing situations like this gave him an appreciation for series host Monaghan's dedication to his audience.
"He really does put himself on the line for the experience and gives that experience to viewers," said Brady, noting that during filming for the second season, Monaghan was bit by a monitor lizard in Thailand which required 40 stitches to patch him up.
While developing the concept for the show and looking for a host, Brady came across interviews of Monaghan talking about his love for insects while shooting "Lost." So, he reached out to Monaghan through his agent and Monaghan jumped at the chance, telling Brady this was his dream job.
"It has been incredible to work with Dominic," said Brady.
A third season hasn't been confirmed yet but producers are in talks with BBC and the Emmy nomination may boost their bid, said Brady.
There is certainly no shortage of material to cover in another season, he adds.
"Dominic is incredibly passionate and has lists and lists of things he wants to explore," Brady said.
