It would cut the cheapest way of meeting

This defeat was as emphatic and complete as any in recent years. Indeed, only five times in history have England lost a Test by a larger run margin. It is understandable that some are suggesting that this game may be remembered as the start of a new era. An era in which Australia hold the upper hand.But we have seen England play before. We know that they have experienced similarly crushing defeats Leeds 2009, Perth 2010 and Ahmedabad 2012 and bounced back to win the next games and the series in which they were played. Perhaps they can do the same thing again?Certainly that was the view taken by Alastair Cook. England's captain conceded that his side had been "outplayed" but then insisted that "there's plenty of time to fight back"."We've done it a lot of times in the past and that's what we're going to have to draw upon now," he said. They came to the United States via the voodoo "In Ahmedabad everyone was looking at us and wondering how we could play cricket and we bounced back to win an amazing series in India."The first thing we have to do is remember we are a very good side and there are some very good players in the dressing room. We've had a bad game and we can hold our hands up and say that. But we've got 10 days now. We'll stay strong as a unit and we'll come back fighting."Whether that proves to be wishful thinking remains to be seen but it would be a mistake to dismiss the Test as an aberration. A team that has failed to score 400 for 18 consecutive innings is not in a barren run; it is in a famine. A team who continually start poorly in series and rely on their bowlers to bail them out of tough situations are not unlucky; they are flirting with danger. This result has been an accident waiting to happen.Just as worryingly, England have only played two Tests on quick wickets in the last four years here and in Perth and they have lost them both heavily. It bodes ill that Perth, perhaps the fastest wicket in the world looms again just around the corner in the third Test. By reputation, Adelaide, the location of the second Test, is something approaching a batting paradise. It might, in normal circumstances, be expected to provide a tonic for England's beleaguered batsmen. But no-one is quite sure how the fresh drop-in pitch will play and it would seem oddly hospitable of Australia to offer anything other than another pitch of pace and bounce.

They came to the United States via the voodoo

Surely the movie struck a chord with audiences because of the Cold War environment in which it was produced.Zombies have a relatively recent provenance in American culture compared to witches or vampires. They came to the United States via the voodoo cults of Haiti, themselves an import from West Africa. The first zombie movie came out in the 1930s, and EC Comics nurtured the zombie meme in its comic books in the 1950s. The undead enjoyed a revival with the infamous "Night of the Living Dead," the 1968 horror flick by George Romero. Since then, it's been a steady increase in zombie and zombie-like films, with a significant spike after 2000.It's this tremendous increase over the last decade that really interests me. I attribute the huge bump to the intersection of three trends: war, pandemics, and globalization.First and foremost, zombie books and movies are all about war: them versus us. In retrospect, it seems as if we've been fighting zombies for ages. From World War II on, our war films have depicted courageous individuals facing down the faceless hordes. In "Bataan" (1943), Robert Taylor ends the film behind a machine gun, confronting an endless wave of Japanese soldiers. The million-man Chinese volunteer army that bailed out the North Koreans during the Korean War was frequently presented as a "horde" of combatants that just kept coming. The Vietcong were similarly relentless and seemingly ineradicable. And in both wars, U.S. soldiers and TV viewers faced a bewildering situation in which our allies suddenly became our enemies-South Vietnamese into North Vietnamese, South Koreans into North Koreans-after some inexplicable "infection" addled their brains. Of course, to those folks American soldiers were the inscrutable invaders, plodding zombie-like into their lives.Wars coincide with an uptick in zombie movies, and never more obviously than after Sept. 11. Al-Qaeda and its suicide bombers presented another adversary with a cult of death supposedly different from our own. Attacked for the first time since Pearl Harbor, America imagined itself surrounded by enemies. Even though the homeland was not in fact surrounded, the Bush administration put American troops into situations-Afghanistan, Iraq-in which they truly were surrounded.

Trays are stacked around a table

There would be no poetry this time, some 44 years after the Rolling Stones last took the stage at London's Hyde Park. Back then, in 1969, they were eulogizing Brian Jones, then just two days dead. Who knew what a new century would bring?What it, in fact, brought was something more celebratory than revelatory, but that they had made it at all - considering how bleak things looked, despite Mick Jagger's Greek-inspired man dress the first go 'round - seemed to be reason enough for the hundreds of thousands in attendance in the summer of 2013. There had been a few quiet years leading up to these 50th anniversary shows, after all. But the Stones knocked off the rust across a series of ridiculously priced, fin de siecle-style orgies of corporate rock in America, and then a raucous return to their homeland at Glastonbury.He was in his natural element By the time they got to London, the Stones machinery was running on all cylinders. Of course, since '69, "Honky Tonk Women" has gone from the new song nobody had heard to just another in a mind-boggling string of familiar radio favorites presented one after another on Eagle Rock's concert film Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live, with only a brief stop to present the set's lone new offering, "Doom and Gloom." Keith Richards' interlude also includes "You Got the Silver" from Let It Bleed, but otherwise, the hits (each as familiar, and in some ways rote, as the last) just keep coming. From the orgiastic response, however, it's clear: The Rolling Stones have become, in the intervening years, the very embodiment of that legendary introduction given to them by Sam Cutler at their initial appearance in this same space: The greatest rock 'n' roll back in the world! Or, at the very least, the highest grossing.After all, the '69 edition of Stones, in a move as sweet as it was anachronistic, released a cloud of white butterflies from a cardboard box. Fast forward to '13, and Jagger has turned such gestures into high fashion - quite literally: During "Miss You," he appears in a glittery jacketed covered with mechanically stitched versions of the same flying insects. That rickety old Hyde Park stage has been transformed into circus tent striped with continuously ejaculating explosions of fireworks and digital iconography. Richards has long since been reduced to sideshow caricature, rather than the pirate soul of things, even as Jagger's moves become more and more polished and programmed - just like his business acumen. Hype Park was more like it.So, yeah, times have changed, the Stones themselves have changed, but the music? It lives on, if only for the enjoyment of another generation who will never know just how dangerous this group used to be.

He was in his natural element

Dad told us that he watched the dignitaries through binoculars as the peace treaty was signed. Sixty-five years later a sizable group of young seamen left their ship in Lake Erie to attend Dad's funeral. With all the usual pomp of flag-folding, salutes and the playing of Taps, they paid their respects to the old veteran. This quality might be experience, or knowledge, or a kind of technical expertise, but that's somehow too reductive and constraining, while also missing the mark.I was thinking about this the other day when watching the Cobras all-rounder, Justin Kemp, a key player in Friday's Momentum One-Day Cup final against the Titans at Newlands.He was playing at the Wanderers, against the Highveld Lions, and the light was fading. There was no one there, and still he went about things with the same dignity he would have done if the stadium was full.Although nobody cheered in the stands, the television cameras were there, so we can't be completely naive about things like behaviour and dignity, but there was something transcendent in the way Kemp went about his business.The game held no surprises for him. He was comfortable with cricket in the same way a fish is thoughtlessly comfortable in water. He was in his natural element, a perfect fit. It was humbling.Another element in Kemp's projection had to do with a certain quality of respect older cricketers have for their craft. We do not think of sportsmen being craftsmen in the main nowadays. Instead, we think of them as entertainers or superstars or celebrities with impressively tawdry social lives. But cricket is a game of great craft and great craftiness.Kemp banged a couple of square cuts to the sweeper boundary and lifted some of his trademark lofted drives over the inner ring, his bat scything through the air in a clear, clean arc. His technical professionalism was almost artisanal. He could have been banging a red-hot horseshoe on an anvil or perhaps binding a wine keg, a member of a great medieval craftsman's guild.I think of Kemp (and his teammate, Charl Langeveldt) in this way because older cricketers play the sport with a kind of disinterested respect. They honour their sport by playing it fairly and properly.In a way, they are the sport's guardians and younger men those more windgat, more full of piss and wind, as my parents' generation would say will never reach sporting manhood without them.You might think administrators keep the sport ticking over, which is not entirely wrong; you might think that television officials, with their wads of cash, keep the sport financially healthy.

The thing I like about these songs

That conversation prompted Snider to reach out to Dave Schools, bassist of Widespread Panic, where they started discussing plans to record together. They enlisted guitarist Neal Casal (Chris Robinson Brotherhood), keyboardist Chad Staehly (Great American Taxi) and Duane Trucks (King Lincoln) on drums to form a new group they're calling Hard Working Americans. It is dangerous not just for us Their self-titled debut was recorded at Bob Weir's TRI Studios and will be released on January 21st."When I speak of hard working Americans, I'm talking about Tonya Harding, Courtney Love, Mike Tyson, Marilyn Manson, and myself," Snider says. "I think we work harder than a lot of people, people who wave flags a lot. I wanted to find a name that would poke fun at the people who think that the phrase 'hard working Americans' applies to them and only them. It's what Woody Guthrie said: music should comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. "Far from being a one-off super-group session, Hard Working Americans is full of the themes that surround class consciousness and economic despair, which echo Snider's most recent album of original material, 2012's Agnostic Hymns and Stoner Fables. The songs are covers written in the past decade by the likes of Gillian Welch, Hayes Carll, the Bottle Rockets and Randy Newman. "I've always collected songs on the folk circuit that I felt spoke to me or moved me," Snider says. "The thing I like about these songs is that the people who wrote them wrote them for themselves to sing, not for me. I really feel like I've lived these songs, even though my friends wrote them."In a confounding night of "shaking things up," the coaches' strengths and weaknesses were on display just as much as the contestants'. They were all focused on taking their singers out of their comfort zones and switching things up – but what they don't get is that just being able to finally vote is exciting enough for viewers.

It is dangerous not just for us

"As part of their management plan, they will continue their preparation under the guidance national coaching staff in Brisbane over the coming days."The Vienna-based IAEA's decade-long investigation into alleged past nuclear-weapons work has underpinned international concerns about a program that has cast the specter of war and proliferation across the Middle East. Iran insists its program is peaceful.U.S. diplomats were positive about the Geneva talks."We not only narrowed differences and clarified those that remain, but we made significant progress in working through the approaches to this question of how one brings in a program that guarantees this peaceful nature," Kerry told reporters yesterday. "There's no question in my mind that we are closer now" to an agreement.Another round of talks in Geneva has been scheduled for Nov. 20, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said yesterday. Political directors will negotiate issues including those France's Fabius raised, she said.Fabius said in a Nov. 9 France Inter radio interview, "We want an agreement, but not a fool's bargain." He objected to letting Iran keep building a heavy-water reactor in Arak that can produce plutonium. Nuclear weapons can be made with highly enriched uranium, which Iran is already capable of producing, or plutonium extracted from spent-fuel used in heavy water reactors.The pause in talks gives opponents in Israel, Saudi Arabia and Washington time to lobby against any deal that would allow Iran to keep sensitive nuclear technologies and to press for new economic sanctions on Iran.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he urged President Barack Obama and leaders of other countries involved in the talks to reject any deal with Iran that doesn't curb or dismantle its ability to produce a nuclear weapon."I told them that according to the information reaching Israel, the apparent deal is bad and dangerous," Netanyahu said yesterday in remarks broadcast from the weekly cabinet meeting.
