|You are in: In Depth: India v Australia
Friday, 16 March, 2001, 08:52 GMT
The passion of the masses
Australian batsman Justin Langer reflects on a rare defeat for his team amid astonishing scenes in Calcutta.
It is uncanny that on the morning of day two of this historic Eden Gardens Test, coach John Buchanan addressed the team by saying this could be one of the greatest Tests we will ever play.
How he came to the prediction is questionable, but whatever prompted his foresight after 90 overs of day one, he was right on the money.
Losing is never easy, especially when you are used to winning, but on this occasion we were beaten by a very determined Indian team who were quite obviously out to prove their critics wrong.
After the first Test match in Mumbai, the fickle press corps tore the Indian team to shreds, blaming the captain, the inept batsmen and the poor bowling depth.
From our viewpoint, this was positive on the surface because the criticism could have destroyed any confidence or unity within our opposition ranks.
Unfortunately, the barrage seemed to act as a motivating factor for the likes of Ganguly, Laxman, Dravid, Tendulkar and Singh, who had a look in their eyes of conviction in what they were trying to achieve.
After the Steve Waugh led fight-back in our first innings and the awesome display by our bowlers on day two, every person following this match throughout the world would have expected another easy Australian victory.
India was following on, we had everything to play for, and the momentum of the game was flowing our way.
Enter VVS Laxman, who played the innings of a lifetime and Rahul Dravid - always a fighter of high quality.
Suddenly, a 17th straight Aussie victory was looking less likely, with the odds tilting towards a draw by the end of day five.
By lunch, those odds were leaning even heavier towards that draw, with 10 wickets in hand and 60 overs to face on a pitch starting to turn more by the minute.
When Slats was out, the Indians, both on and off the ground, started sensing a sniff of victory.
That sense heightened when I was out sweeping and Mark Waugh was out without troubling the scorers.
What we were hoping would singe out to a tame draw after tea, was a little more tense when the second break came in the afternoon.
With Matty Hayden looking in total control and our master-batting captain at the crease the atmosphere within the changing room was a little tense but controlled and confident.
Regardless of the score at tea, the climate outside the changing room was electric.
The crowd had swelled with every wicket, as the patriotic Indian supporters, all 100,000 of them, started shouting and screaming with the intensity of a raging inferno.
Never have I heard a roar like this. For five days the crowd has boomed to over eighty thousand a day.
Now with the climax of the test reaching it's pinnacle, the final session was sure to be entertaining no matter what the result.
If the noise was loud when the players re-entered the arena, imagine the passion and force of the masses when 'Tugga' was caught at leg slip off the confident Harbhajan Singh.
It was like being on a surfboard at the base of a tidal wave!
The tension in the air was suffocating as Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist left the ground without scoring.
Still the in-form Matt Hayden stood firm. That was until the enigmatic Sachin Tendulkar trapped him in front of the wickets. Out lbw for another superb 60 odd runs.
It was almost as if Sachin hadn't played a part with the bat so he owed it to the crowd and his teammates to have an influence with the ball. Such is the nature of the player.
As the wickets continued to fall, our aspirations of staying one nil up in this series were faltering.
India was that tidal wave that we have become so used to over the last 16 Test matches.
This time though, we were on the surfboard about to be smashed into the hard sand of reality. The reality that says cricket is never to be taken for granted.
When Glenn McGrath was given out padding up to Singh, India rejoiced a monumental and well-deserved victory.
Standing on the outfield was overwhelming as the thousands of Indian supporters lit newspapers and waved them victoriously in the air.
This series, which looked to be ours in a canter only two days ago, is now building up to be the greatest fight of our cricket lives.
The challenge is immense and although we went down today, 16 out of 17 Test matches is something we are intensely proud.
This has been as hard and draining a five days as I have experienced.

Under the Sea Leggings
Down here all the fish is happy
- Black leggings starring undersea creatures in various shades of blue
- Print wraps around the outside of your legs (seam on the inside)
- 82% nylon / 18% Spandex for great fit and shine
These might be named "under the sea" leggings, but to us they look like they're in outer space. In August of 2014, researchers found plankton growing on the outside of the International Space Station. And, you know, when you go pretty deep into the ocean you run into creatures that clearly look like they're not from this planet. (They probably say the same thing about us in anglerfish circles.) So a couple of seahorses and an octopus in space shouldn't make us do a doubletake, right? Right.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Texas primary's most-watched election may not produce a winner at all.
Nine candidates are squaring off for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat that currently belongs to Kay Bailey Hutchison, who is retiring. If nobody wins a majority in Tuesday's primary, a runoff will be held July 31 between the top two finishers.
Despite that clash headlining a primary that also includes numerous congressional and legislative races, turnout appeared to be low early Tuesday as sweltering heat, confusion over the primary date and Memorial Day weekend travels kept voters away.
Tom Bass, 85, in Houston said he never misses the chance to vote and blamed the lack of voters early Tuesday on redistricting disputes, which have twice pushed back the primary from March.
"People get in the habit, and the change of the date is a change in habit," Bass said.
One polling place in Lubbock reported that as of 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, just 75 people out of 4,800 registered voters had shown up at an elementary school to cast ballots. It wasn't clear how many had voted early. At one Houston polling station, an official read an electronic book while another rolled the border of a sheet of name-tag stickers into a ball.
A campaign worker was shot in the leg Tuesday morning in an apparent drive-by shooting at a South Texas polling place. San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez said the man was expected to be released from the hospital later in the day. No suspects had been identified, and it wasn't immediately clear if the shooter was targeting a specific campaign or candidate, he said.
In the Senate race, a victory by fiery attorney and former state Solicitor General Ted Cruz over long-serving Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in the Republican primary would cap what already is a banner month for the tea party movement. Richard Mourdock ousted 36-year Senate veteran Richard Lugar in Indiana, and state Sen. Deb Fischer, an insurgent candidate who also drew strong tea party support, upset two better-known candidates in Nebraska.
Also vying for the GOP senatorial nomination is former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, who bills himself as a businessman and less-bombastic darling of fiscal conservatives. Among the others seeking the seat is ex-NFL running back and ESPN announcer Craig James, who has struggled to gain traction in the race.
Texas' booming population meant it added four new seats in Congress, while new redistricting maps drawn by the Republican-dominated state Legislature - and a subsequent legal fight over whether they fairly represented minority voters - reshaped many existing districts.
Dewhurst is thought to be the front-runner, having overseen the Texas Senate as lieutenant governor since 2003, and drawing an endorsement from Gov. Rick Perry. But Cruz claims Dewhurst is too moderate since he was sometimes willing to compromise with Democratic state senators to ensure the flow of legislation.
Cruz has drawn support from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint and national limited-government groups including the Club For Growth - support Dewhurst dismisses as outsiders meddling in state politics.
On the Democratic side, former state Rep. Paul Sadler is facing political newcomer Sean Hubbard.
Rich Parsons, a spokesman at the secretary of state's office, said more than 13 million Texans had registered to vote, though many election workers spent the early part of the day killing time. Outside Garza-Pena Elementary in San Juan campaign workers holding signs outnumbered voters early Tuesday morning. The day was still tolerable though there were warnings on the radio that people should stay inside because the heat index was expected to reach 107 degrees.
In Euless, a suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth, Nona Batiste, a 65-year-old retired teacher, said the change in date could not deter her from voting.
"It was important to just be here," Batiste said. "Because this is my only voice."
Jose Blanco, a 44-year-old engineer in Plano, who wanted to cast his ballot for Cruz, said he kept being bounced from one polling station to another - including his usual venue - and was told to go to a school he doesn't know.
"I'm frustrated. I'm trying to do the right thing. I want to vote," Blanco said. "I might just give up. This is my third place."
In another closely watched race, longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson was trying to fend off the first Democratic primary challenge in her two decades representing the North Texas district in Congress. Democratic U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett also faced a challenge in a new district, which runs from Austin to San Antonio.
And along the Gulf Coast, a runoff was likely in the Republican race to fill the House seat of Ron Paul, who chose not to run for re-election while focusing on his GOP presidential bid. The GOP winner is likely to face Democrat and former U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson, who served four terms in the House but was defeated in 2004.
Most polls across Texas were set to close at 7 p.m. Among those who showed up was Ana Maria Serrano, an immigrant from Mexico, who said she has voted since becoming a U.S. citizen because she feels it's her duty. Still, she believes that, other than fulfilling her civic duties, voting does not change much.
"With candidates it's like when you marry, your boyfriend promises and promises but once he marries you, he forgets all about those promises," she said.

"It's just emotion that's taken me over…" The BeeGees, from the song "Emotion"
Emotion is, well, just about everything when it comes to fiction. Emotion is what engages readers the deepest. Emotion is what makes thereader laugh, cry, cheer, get pissed off, hate, judge. It makes them feel. It makes them forget they've fallen into the world of fiction.
Emotion is the one, main element of my writing that's taken me to a new level the last few years. And it took me awhile to get there. To get how important it is in fiction and to get (or at least somewhat get) how to transfer, infuse, express emotion in my writing. [Read more…]

John Singer Sargent's Gassed is on loan to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) from the Imperial War Museums for PAFA's exhibition, World War 1 and American Art, running from November 2016 to April 2017. The exhibition coincides with the centenary anniversary of US involvement in WW1.
Some remember John Singer Sargent for his portraits of the most affluent in society. For many, though, his most memorable painting is his vast canvas showing the horrors of the First World War, in the Imperial War Museum, London: Gassed (1919). As with the work of all war artists, we tend to assume that this shows a real scene from the front, a hideous truth about that war. This article looks at the probable limits of that truth, and how much might be allusion.
Sargent, as an American who had worked much of his career in London, was commissioned by the War Memorials Committee of the Ministry of Information in Britain to paint a large work showing Anglo-American co-operation in the war. This was originally destined for a Hall of Remembrance, which was never built, but which required a very large if not monumental painting. He set off for the…

A woman who ran over a Denver parking valet then ran for Mexico was sentenced to 12 years in prison today for a crime the judge called "monstrous."
Norma Vera-Nolasco, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, received the maximum sentence possible in the death of 21year-old Jose Medina. Vera-Nolasco was captured on an airplane in Phoenix as it taxied toward takeoff for Mexico. When she completes her sentence, she will face five years probation but will likely be deported.
"I understand you weren't trying to kill anybody but by being behind the wheel of a big truck drunk you were a dangerous weapon …. you are not a monster but the act you committed was monstrous," said Denver District Court Judge Martin Egelhoff.
Medina's mother, Linda Limon, said the sentence was too lenient and suggested it should have been life in prison.
During the sentencing hearing, Limon and others from Medina's family described the valet as a young man striving to make something of himself while supporting both his mother and fiance.
"I have had 12 surgeries, I died twice and Jose was my caregiver…I will never hold that baby again," Limon told the judge.
Vera-Nolasco cried as she listened to Limon and five other relatives describe Medina and ask the judge for the toughest sentence possible.
Speaking Spanish in a soft voice as a translator relayed her words to the court, Vera-Nolasco asked for forgiveness from Medina's family. "I wish I could do something to help them but I know I can't," she said.
She said she never imagined that the accident could happen. "Unfortunately, It was not in my hands to be able to avoid that," she added.

"That's why, darling, it's incredible,Nat King Cole (born Nathaniel Adams Coles; March 17, 1919 February 15, 1965) is a famous 20th century jazz musician. His mainstream popularity endures thanks to his unforgettable smooth, mellow vocals. However, it's his groundbreaking piano style that created a new standard for other jazz pianists, whereas his singing was relatively unimportant in the development of jazz singing. That said, several of his songs and covers went on to become standards and highly remembered, like "Straighten Up and Fly Right", "Route 66", "Unforgettable", "Mona Lisa", and "The Christmas Song".He was also the first African American to host his own variety show, and one of the earlier black actors and entertainers to headline in television at all — especially without stereotypical behavior. Nat himself was a big supporter of black entertainers of the time and was close with contemporaries like Harry Belafonte and Sammy Davis, Jr., and was outspoken about subjects like performing in front of segregated audiences (which he was against).Cole's piano playing inspired a generation of jazz pianists, including Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson, Horace Silver, and Bill Evans.
That someone so unforgettable,
Thinks that I am unforgettable, too."
That someone so unforgettable,
Thinks that I am unforgettable, too."
— "Unforgettable"
These tropes are unforgettable, too:
- Beast Fable: "Straighten Up and Fly Right", a song wherein a vulture abducts a monkey intending to eat him, and the monkey winds up controlling the flight.
- Jazz: His genre.
- Pop-Culture Isolation: Amongst the general public, Nat King Cole is famed as a great singer, for classics like "Unforgettable". Amongst musicians its understood his real contribution to music was revolutionizing jazz piano playing. His brilliant innovations provided a bridge towards bebop piano.
- Projected Man: Was the first late musician to be made into a Projected Man/Virtual Ghost in a video performance, in a posthumous duet of "Unforgettable" with daughter Natalie Cole.

Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota awarded coveted 2013 Leapfrog Top Children's Hospital distinction
Children's - St. Paul recognized for fifth year in a row by The Leapfrog Group for quality and efficiency
Dec 03, 2013, 00:01 ET
SAINT PAUL, Minn., Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The St. Paul campus of Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota has once again been named to The Leapfrog Group's annual list of Top Children's Hospitals. Children's was one of only 13 pediatric hospitals in the country to be recognized by Leapfrog and the only pediatric hospital in Minnesota. This is the fifth year in a row that Children's has been recognized, and the seventh time since 2006. The announcement came at Leapfrog's Annual Meeting on Dec. 3 in Arlington, Va., which gathered key decision-makers from Leapfrog's network of purchaser members, industry partners, health care stakeholders and national collaborators.
"Children's is extremely proud to once again be recognized as a Top Children's Hospital by the Leapfrog Group," said Alan L. Goldbloom, MD, CEO of Children's of Minnesota. "This recognition is a sign that Children's continues to lead the way in terms of the quality of the care we provide to patients and families and the efficiency with which we provide that care."
"The field of hospitals considered for this year's elite Leapfrog Top Hospital distinction was more competitive than ever. By achieving the Top Children's Hospital accolade, Children's of Minnesota has demonstrated exemplary performance across all areas of quality and patient safety that are analyzed on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey. If my family or friends needed care, I'd be comfortable sending them to Children's of Minnesota," said Leah Binder, President & CEO of The Leapfrog Group.
As a 2013 Top Children's Hospital, Children's of Minnesota met the following standards for safe, high quality care:
- Achieve a Quality Score of 86 or better (top decile) as calculated through Leapfrog's Hospital Recognition Program
- Satisfy the Top Hospital Selection Committee that in general the hospital embodies the highest standards of excellence worthy of the Leapfrog Top Hospital designation
The results of the survey are posted on The Leapfrog Group's website, which is open to patients and families, the public, employers and other purchasers of health care.
A Model for Quality and Efficiency
As part of its effort to constantly improve care, Children's has adopted many practices that have improved quality and efficiency:
- Lean system of continuous improvement: Children's has realized millions in savings, all while cutting medication waste by 40 percent, switching to a "trigger system" that reduced medical supply replenishment time – and the time nurses need to track supplies – and greatly improved the turnaround time of its labs.
- Streamlining documentation: While patient volumes in its emergency departments have increased, triage times have declined and patient satisfaction is up. Nurses are spending less time on paper work and more time at the bedside.
- Daily Engagement System: By aligning employees around teamwork and goals, caregivers are able to operate more cohesively around each patient.
- First-of-its-kind medication management system: By wirelessly transmitting data between patients' infusion pumps and the electronic medical record (EMR), Children's is significantly reducing medication errors, particularly important in pediatrics, since doses must be carefully tailored by weight.
- Accountable Care Organization pilot program: In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Human Services, Children's is aiming to reduce the total cost of care by providing coordinated, streamlined care to Minnesota's children.
Leapfrog Methodology
Children's was selected as a Top Hospital out of a record number of 1,324 hospitals participating in The Leapfrog Group's annual survey. The list includes 22 Top Rural Hospitals, 55 Top Urban Hospitals and 13 Top Children's Hospitals. Hospitals reaching this achievement include academic medical centers, teaching hospitals, children's hospitals, and community hospitals in rural, suburban and urban settings. The selection of Top Hospitals is based on the results of the Leapfrog Group's annual hospital survey, which measures hospitals' performance on patient safety and quality, focusing on three critical areas of hospital care: how patients fare, resource use and management structures in place to prevent errors.
About The Leapfrog Group
The Leapfrog Group (www.leapfroggroup.org) is a national organization using the collective leverage of large purchasers of health care to initiate breakthrough improvements in the safety, quality, and affordability of health care for Americans. The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey allows purchasers to structure their contracts and purchasing to reward the highest performing hospitals. The Leapfrog Group was founded in November 2000 with support from the Business Roundtable and national funders, and is now independently operated with support from its purchaser and other members.
About Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota

Human papillomavirus (HPV) now causes the majority of oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer in the U.S. The incidence of these HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers has increased substantially over the past 15 years. Common questions and answers about HPV transmission and HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer will be discussed. Risk factors for oral HPV infection, including the role of oral sex will be reviewed. New data will be discussed that helps to explain why oral HPV infection and HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers are more common in men than women. We will review what is known about oral HPV infection, natural history, and trends in HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer.
The webinar will be comprised of a pre-recorded course by Gypsyamber D'Souza and a live Q&A session with Gypsyamber D'Souza and Dr. Mark Lingen. Attendees will receive webinar login information upon completing registration.

Why Robbie's you ask?

- State-of-the-art equipment: We've invested thousands of dollars in the latest auto body repair equipment to work on today's sophisticated, technologically advanced vehicles. Many of our competitors have not made this investment, so who would you rather trust with the care of your vehicle? Robbie's of course!

Remember! You have the right to choose your auto body repair facility. Don't allow your insurance carrier to steer you away to inferior quality and expertise. Cheaper isn't better – other auto body shops have to cut costs somehow to deliver a "cheaper" repair and it's your car that suffers. Do you really want that? Go with the best…Robbie's Automotive and Collision Specialists.

Legislation that would have outlawed restrictions on the resale of sports and concert tickets was killed by a California Assembly committee Tuesday.
The bill, backed by StubHub, would have granted fans ownership of whatever ticket they buy. StubHub and its allies argued that a team was no different than a car dealer — once you buy a commodity, you should be allowed to resell it whenever and however you liked.
The Angels aligned with other teams and venues in opposing the bill, arguing that it would help StubHub and other ticket resellers buy blocks of tickets and sell them above face value.
The Angels also claimed StubHub and other ticket resellers do not properly guard against fraudulent or duplicate tickets posted for sale, leaving purchasers out of luck when they arrive at an event with an invalid ticket.

U.S. Rep. Grace Meng's (D-Flushing) legislation to make the desecration of cemeteries a violation of religious freedom was passed by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The measure now advances to the House floor for a vote by the full House of Representatives.
Meng's bill, the Protect Cemeteries Act, would amend the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to include the vandalizing of cemeteries as one of many infringements on the right to freedom of religion.
Although the bill applies to cemeteries around the world, it would have a significant impact on many residents of Queens. The borough is home to many immigrants who have family members and ancestors buried in their families' homelands. In many cases, there are few or no relatives left in those distant communities to preserve and protect the graves, so it's important that there be international laws to protect the cemeteries there. Also, the legislation originated from Meng's constituents in Queens,
"Religiously motivated desecration of cemeteries unfortunately occurs with alarming regularity, but this legislation would be a new tool to help combat it," said Meng. "The bill would also go a long way towards promoting preservation, tolerance and respect for cemeteries, and the committee's passage of the measure says in a loud clear voice that this type of hate crime will not be tolerated anywhere in our society. I urge the House to quickly approve this legislation."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A disagreement simmering within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) over a ban on ordination of homosexuals may boil over in the next week.
Opponents of the ban intend to seek its repeal when the nation's sixth-largest Protestant denomination holds its national assembly beginning Saturday in Louisville. This city is also the headquarters of the church, which has as many as 3.6 million members.
''We resent this categorical prohibition,'' said the Rev. Laird Stuart, a San Francisco pastor who leads a group pushing for repeal. ''We would like ordaining bodies to be given the right to ordain people as individuals, not as members of categories.''
Conservatives are prepared to defend the ban.
''There is a prohibition that is very straightforward, that we believe the Scriptures teach, and the church ought to proclaim that our officers should model in their own lives,'' said the Rev. Jerry Andrews of suburban Chicago. ''How else can the church honor the Lord of the church, if we neglect the word of the Lord?''
The Presbyterians are among several mainline Protestant denominations, notably the Episcopal Church and United Methodist Church, that have struggled with the issue of gay clergy and same-sex unions in recent years. Other Protestant groups could face debates and protests at national meetings this summer.
Stuart and Andrews each said the struggle in the Presbyterian churches could go either way. Repeal would require not only passage at the Louisville assembly but also -- and probably harder to achieve -- ratification by a majority of the church's 173 presbyteries, or regional legislatures.
The sexual-conduct standard was inserted into the church's constitution in 1997. It withstood a repeal attempt the next year.
In 1999, church policy-makers imposed a two-year moratorium that shielded the sexual-conduct law from changes. The cooling-off period was intended to let Presbyterians reflect on the emotional issue.
Under the conduct standard, ministers, deacons and elders are required to ''live either in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness.'' The practical effect was to prohibit gays and lesbians from ascending to the pulpit or lay leadership.
As they prepare to defend the ordination standard, conservatives are regrouping from a defeat on whether Presbyterian clergy can officiate at ''commitment ceremonies'' for gay couples. The national assembly voted for a ban last year, but the presbyteries failed to ratify it. That gave clergy leeway to conduct such rites, as long as they are not confused with marriages.
Andrews said that defeat caused a frustration among conservatives that would be deepened if the ban on gay ordination was lifted.
''This is not just a matter of private sexual behavior. This is about will the Scriptures continue to have authority in the common life of the church,'' Andrews said. ''It's a foundational issue for moderates and evangelicals in the church.''
With both sides entrenched, the gay-rights feud may drive people from the denomination, though some say an outright split is unlikely.
''I think a lot of people in the middle and the left of the middle and right of the middle want to do everything possible to avoid a schism,'' Stuart said.
But some people are already drifting away, he said.
''Gay and lesbian people who do not think the church is hospitable to them are leaving,'' as are ''conservative people who are tired of the battle and don't understand why those of us who want this changed won't be quiet,'' Stuart said.
Andrews said he worked on fence-mending with moderate and evangelical congregations after conservatives lost the fight on same-sex ceremonies. ''For the moment we hold'' as a denomination, Andrews said. If the assembly votes to repeal the ordination standard, ''my phone calls may no longer hold us together,'' he said.
Several presbyteries have submitted resolutions to delete the standard. Two presbyteries propose granting waivers to congregations and presbyteries that cannot ''in good conscience'' comply with the law.
Other potentially divisive issues expected to draw discussion at the eight-day assembly include abortion and the meaning of salvation.
One resolution calls on the assembly to declare ''moral opposition'' to abortion of fetuses 20 weeks and older, except to save the mother. It would chip away at the church's position favoring abortion rights.
Another would state that salvation requires an acceptance of Jesus Christ. It was prompted by comments at a Presbyterian conference last summer by the Rev. Dirk Ficca, who suggested salvation can occur apart from faith in Jesus. Ficca, a Presbyterian, directs an interfaith organization based in Chicago, the Parliament of the World's Religions.
Yet another resolution is aimed at calming the disputes within the faith. It calls for reconciliation through a year of study and prayer among all Presbyterians.
The Rev. Clifton Kirkpatrick, the denomination's chief ecclesiastical officer, said Presbyterians need to seek common ground whenever possible.
''I don't anticipate any serious threat of a schism this year, but we need to be working for greater unity within the Presbyterian family,'' Kirkpatrick said.
Election of the assembly's moderator will be one of the first orders of business. Four candidates -- two men and two women -- are vying for the largely ceremonial title. The moderator presides over the assembly and serves as the denomination's unpaid chief spokesman for the next year.

South Normanton is a medium-sized ex-mining village two miles east of Alfreton, Derbyshire. South After the 1980s there had been a huge infilling around South Normanton. the areas of Broadmeadows, Rippon Homes and newer housing areas were built. These were higher cost housing for the private market. Major roads had also been built including the M1 Motorway creating easier access to the village and surrounding area for car owners. The East Midlands Designer Outlet (owned by McArthurGlen Group) is located near the edge of the settlement close to the M1.
Located in between the Midlands and the North, it has great access to many cities and amenities, especially being so close to the M1 motorway. Perhaps South Normanton could be the right move for your next business decision !

Lincoln Center's New President: On the Job, Through Every Meal
Why Jed Bernstein hasn't eaten at home in 5 months
Jed Bernstein took the helm of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in January. A veteran Broadway producer and former head of the Broadway League, he is now focused on expanding the city's premier arts campus beyond its walls, both physically and digitally.
Lincoln Center this summer is launching a pilot program to expand its popular Midsummer Night Swing series to Queens, with the aim of eventually bringing Lincoln Center programming to all five boroughs. Meanwhile, Lincoln Center and the New York Philharmonic are planning a complete overhaul of the orchestra's home, Avery Fisher Hall.
Mr. Bernstein sat down with The Wall Street Journal to share the some of the surprising—and terrifying—moments in his early days on the job. Below are edited excerpts from the interview.
How have you been?
I'm having the time of my life. It's kind of like drinking from a fire hose. It's such an interesting job at such an interesting time. The arts and culture are at a pivotal moment. Technology is against us and we have to figure out how to turn that the other way, because it's such an incredibly powerful tool.
Since you began your transition last fall, what has surprised you?
How vast this place is. As a New Yorker, you think of three big buildings, maybe four. Then you find out that there are 30 stages here. What? Really?
What has scared you?
Everything is really expensive. Tickets are expensive. As a theater producer, I know how expensive it is to produce things. Here, you've got institutions that in some cases are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on their seasons. So the costs of being wrong are high, and that's scary.
It's a little scary that I have not had a meal at home in five months. That includes breakfast. Seven days a week. I go to something every night, either a dinner event or a performance here or around the city. This is good news, because I don't cook. That's intense, but I'm not complaining. This is what the gig is, and I'm thrilled.
What are your favorite things to see?
I've been reintroduced to chamber music. I had not gone for many years. I'm still in awe…and wait a minute, nobody conducts them? So I'm really enjoying that. I got to go to my first film festival last fall. I don't know that I'm ready for Sundance, but I really had fun.
What can the nonprofit arts world learn from Broadway?
Broadway has been very successful at making coming to Broadway synonymous with coming to New York. Your experience in New York is not complete without a Broadway show. We can get smarter about that. Everything that happens on Broadway is dramatic. I mean that with a capital D. We have to do that, too. Broadway has embraced very aggressive ticket distribution. You can, anywhere in the world, see what's playing on Broadway tonight and you can tap again and buy a ticket to it. It's as easy now as buying an airline ticket. We have to get better at that.
Have you watched the outcry over the renovation plans of the New York Public Library and the Museum of Modern Art and thought, 'There but for the grace of God go I?' "
With these great institutions comes great responsibility, and so many people feel an ownership of these institutions. Although that is messy, because it makes it harder to accomplish things sometimes, the alternative, which is nobody cares, is so much worse.
The most thrilling thing about [the Avery Fisher Hall] project is to actually sit and try to get as many smart people in the world that you can gather together to think about, well, what does it mean to have a concert hall for the next 50 years? What does that even look like? It's the most thrilling, it's also the most terrifying. Talk about things that are scary, well, what if you get it wrong? It's really fun to struggle with these things.

According to DPS, Swallow was the only person in the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Christianity does mean different things to different people
June 11 2010 at 9:12 AM
Response to
What is Christianity?
but that just shows these different people don't have CHRIST, which is the real point of Christianity:
CHRIST IS NOT DIVIDED and those who have him will be of ONE MIND; they will all see and hear the same thing which is evidenced to me by HOW I HEAR THOSE WHO WROTE THE BIBLE now that I too have experienced the same thing the Bible writers have experienced:
before the experience, we all see to a point and we all hear to a point, but the WHOLE TRUTH can only be revealed after Jesus goes away
so he can RETURN as the comforter, the Spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit within us to REMIND us of all that Jesus said that is written:
when he goes away it is because we are ready to experience the antichrist who can not be revealed till Christ is taken away for a little while
in a little while you will not see me
but then you will see me and YOUR JOY shall be FULL
this happens within us too

Story highlights
- A new book details changing U.S. demographics and the role of millennials in that change
- A millennial responds to the myth of her generation's inevitable takeover
- To have change, millennials need participation, leadership and innovation, author says
The millennial generation is big, diverse and changing the American landscape. A new infographic and book, "The Next America," by Paul Taylor and the Pew Research Center, examines the data about the change.
It's revelatory.
Taylor calls the demographic transformations "dramas in slow motion." The Gen Y -- or millennial -- generation's lack of religious affiliation, indifference to political parties and strong liberal views are a contrast to previous generations.
Additionally, a great deal of the "next" in "The Next America" has to do with racial and ethnic identity. Immigration, intermarriage and the growing percentages of people who identify as mixed race are drastically recoloring the nation's racial tapestry.
Today, just a half-century after interracial marriages were illegal in one-third of the states, nearly 1 in 6 newlyweds marry across racial lines. Immigrants and their children are projected to make up about 37% of America's population by mid-century, the highest share in our history.
But what does this all mean?
There is often a focus on data highlighting the size and diversity of the millennial generation, drawing the conclusion that it is inevitable that our values will soon take over.
But research shows other factors are equally important: Our generation's economic insecurity, dependence on our parents and most notably, the unprecedented size of the older generation.
I want to challenge the notion of inevitability, that just because we are more diverse, liberal and "huge," millennials will soon win the culture wars and easily transform our society to reflect our values.
In my early 20s, as a Gen Y proselytizer and a person of color, I thought I knew exactly what the demographic changes meant: Millennials, in all of our black, brown and liberal glory, were taking over politically.
I spent the early part of my career working on progressive policies and cause campaigns geared toward youth and diverse communities. I even founded a program that applied a racial equity lens to public policy development in part because of the country's changing demographics.
The unspoken premise was this: Political elites had better "get hip" and start authentically working toward equity. Otherwise, they would be left in the change-making millennial dust.
This premise was grounded in what I now call the myth of inevitability.
Although I worked hard to increase civic engagement, activism and community involvement amongst my peers, deep down inside, I believed that the odds were in our favor.
We would inevitably win the culture wars because of our sheer size and diversity. I believed that increasing our involvement and voice would make the difference of when the United States would be transformed to reflect our values, not if. I was not alone. Others deeply believed this to be true, too.
But there are a few important factors that we forgot to consider.
First, the country isn't just young and diverse. It is also getting old very quickly. The second major demographic "drama" detailed by Pew is one of older Americans living longer than ever before.
Ten thousand baby boomers will turn 65 every single day between now and 2030. For the first time, by 2060, there will be almost as many Americans older than 85 as younger than 5.
Thus the joke about "waiting for the older generation to die off" to see our political and social goals realized isn't just crass: It not a realistic path to social change.
And that's not all. There are other cultural realities standing in the way of an "inevitable" political takeover.
Millennials are economically insecure, politically unaffiliated and, according to Pew, not at all interested in generational warfare.
Unlike previous generations, we actually like our parents and grandparents -- perhaps because we're still living with them.
Suddenly, revolution doesn't look as inevitable as it once did. But it is still possible.
I propose that the value wars that play out on issues such as immigration, women's rights, equality, criminal justice and America's treatment of the poor will be determined by three factors: participation, leadership and systems innovation.
Participation in the political process is key. In the research from Pew, it confirms that millennial voting has actually been remarkably solid, increasing and staying strong in presidential elections since 2004. If this continues, adequate political representation should follow.
But leading and participating in the system is not enough when the systems are broken, such as the impending doom around Social Security and other programs if left as is.
The only way to fix them is to innovate and create them anew.
Innovation can come from first learning the ins and outs of the current system, applying creativity and technological prowess to the problems and third, taking the risk to experiment and start enterprises that challenge the status quo if and when necessary.
The data about the country's race and age transformation is clear.
But millennials will only make a transformational political impact when we take the reins, lead and recreate the United States from the inside out.
Now that will be a demographic drama worth watching.

How can Extras be allowed to finish? Aren't there laws to stop this sort of thing? How dare Ricky Gervais whet our appetite to such an extent and then snatch the feast away? In last Thursday's final episode, with the dying cancer patient and his pushy mum, he opened a whole new seam of comedy - edgy, uncomfortable, daring to go (a dying boy, for heaven's sake!) where no comedy had been before. It felt as though Gervais had finally done what he promised at the outset, and given us a real insight into the weird world of celebrity. Moreover, it was funny, which is what edgy comedy usually fails to be. But he has hinted that this series will have been the last.
There have been only a few times in my life when I felt I was watching a real breakthrough in comedy - Monty Python in the Seventies, Fawlty Towers, a series called A Very Peculiar Practice in the Eighties that, oddly, seems to have been forgotten - maybe it was not as good as I remembered - and then a long gap till The Day Today and Alan Partridge and another long gap until The Office, though there were consolations from the States, like The Larry Sanders Show and Seinfeld. Recent British successes such as The League of Gentleman and Little Britain left me cold - they relied on that dread concept 'surreal', and I began to think, 'Maybe I'm too old for this TV comedy lark.'
And at the beginning I was doubtful about Extras. There was an early episode that seemed to think it was miraculous that Kate Winslet could say rude words while dressed as a nun. I thought, 'Oh dear - Ricky Gervais is so excited to have celebs on his show, he's forgotten to be funny.'
But then he started really working his celebs and making them take extraordinary risks. I still goggle at the memory of Chris Martin plugging his own record in the middle of a charity appeal - did he know what a risk he was taking?
How does Gervais do it? How does he persuade celebs to perform such acts of self-demolition? But it was only in this last series that he really hit his stride. Please don't let it finish, please, please.

Democracy Conference Coming Soon In Wisconsin… But What Is It?
From August 7-11 in Madison, Wisconsin, people will be attending The Democracy Convention, a convention that is promoting democracy. Of course, democracy is nothing more than a system of government that allows citizens to dictate the course of their government. Democracies can be as varied as the political opinions that shape them.
So, which kind of democracy does the Democracy Convention propose? It's hard to say by looking at the convention's About page, which only offers such vague explanations as, "If you want to strengthen democracy where it matters most … in our communities, our schools, our workplaces and local economies, our military, our government, our media, our constitution … you will find something inspiring in Madison this August."
We can surmise that the conference is liberal in political perspective, with sponsoring organizations including the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Wisconsin Wave, Earth Democracy Conference, Liberty Tree, Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County, Freedom Inc., Progressive Dane, United Council of UW Students, the Coffee Party, the Green Shadow Cabinet and The Progressive magazine.
It turns out that the Democracy Conference is actually nine different conferences wrapped up all together into one. It's by looking at the topic lines of these sub-conferences that we can understand what the larger conference is all about:
– People power over war and peace
– Voting rights and open government
– Constitutional Reform – amending our basic law
– Economics as if people mattered
– Racial equity, equality and justice
– A free press for a free society
– Community power and local participation
– Democratizing our schools and colleges
– Reclaim the commons for all beings
