Sight Screen: 40 over mark
Array-ne I haven’t been posting many blog entries this week. The final week of a grading period is always hectic. It is filled with many students rushing to get work made up, parents emailing and calling about why their Johnny is failing, and double/triple/and quadruple checking the gradebook to be sure everything is right.I graded about 200 projects on World Religion in the past 4 days and I am beat.

Instead of denials of wrong doing, he should admit that lines were crossed. It rubs those around the world the wrong way as well:A few months before the scandal broke, Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support for the occupation at 63 percent. A month after Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the revelations.Ouch.

-ne 41 years ago, one of the most recognizable monuments in the US, the Saint Louis Arch (pictured at left, with Busch Stadium at far left, the Old Courthouse at bottom left, from Tzongming), also known by its official name, the Jefferson National Expansion Monument and Museum, was still two triangular pillars rising into the air. Although St. Louis businessman Luther Ely Smith had convinced Mayor Bernard Dickmann to set aside land on the city’s waterfront back in 1933 and President Franklin Roosevelt created a 15-member commission to explore a US Territorial Expansion Museum a year later, it took until 1946 for a St. Louis committee to launch a design commission, two more years to select the winning architect, Eero Saarinen (who designed furniture and the Eames House with Charles Eames, and also designed the TWA terminal at New York’s John F. according to its original builders, MacDonald Construction, Inc., it is projected to stand for a millennium, and I hope it will.The same year the Arch received its closing steel section, Busch Stadium, the new home of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, also was finished, and the Cardinals prepared to move from their residence of 46 years, Sportsman’s Park, where some of their brightest lights, including Rogers Hornsby, Dizzy Dean, Franky Frisch, Paul Medwick, Johnny Mize, and Stan The Man Musial, had starred. Two years after moving to Busch, the Cardinals would win their second World Series in three years, defeating the Boston Red Sox in 7 games behind Gibson’s almost unbelievable pitching performance, and a year later, in the tragedy-drenched year of 1968, the Cardinals would return to the Series and lose to the Detroit Tigers, despite Gibson’s and Brock’s season-long and post-season heroics.I went to Busch Stadium a number of times as a child and teenager, and was there the year they finally returned to the World Series, after a long drought, in 1982.

India, noticeably, has managed to keep its run rate above 5 an over throughout, despite the loss of Sehwag and Dhoni early and cheap, and for that, the credit goes entirely to Gambhir, who has given his captain the luxury of playing the more restrained anchor knock at the other end (and ensuring he can stay through the innings, rather than being forced to take risks to up the scoring).The interesting thing about GG’s knock is, more than the assurance behind his boundaries, the fact that he got a fair few of his runs the hard way, between wickets — 45 dot balls and 43 runs taken between wickets, including 32 singles, five twos and a three is good intelligent cricket.
