St., "Muhammad" is the ·secondmost popular name in Britain. As George W, Bush is finally deserted by his longsuffering conservative base, "Jose" is not the secondmost popular name in the United States. But Spanish, as yet unofficially, is America's second language. Such developments repre sent two obviously different phenomena - the impact of Muslims and Hispanics on societies once aptly summed up as E!nglish-speaking peoples. What is similar is the phenomena's transformative effect: Britain is increasingly defined by its accommodation of a tiny (3 percent) Islamic minority; the United States is increasingly , defined by its accommodation of a large Hispanic ·minority ( 14.8 percent), some considerable number of whom are here illegally·. Is this a shocking turn of events? You bet. Of course, to anyone who remembers the "Behead Those Who Insult Islam" posters displayed in London last year, the Islamization of Britain may seem long obvious. But that doesn 't mean it isn't startling to see, quantified, in a government tally of baby names, a reliable indicator of the increasingly Muslim future of Britain. Similarly, to anyone beset by bilingualism, in both business 'and the business of daily life, the Hispanization of America is currently a fact. But that doesn't mean but not irreversible transformation - has been grossly undermined. Not only are the traditions and characteristics .(English-speaking? Non-Muslim?) of our societies now regarded as being retrograde embarrassments, we are al so supposed to cheerfully maintain our societies in a perpetual state of ethnic and/or religious flux . The irony that goes unremarked is that the homogenous - dare I say, nondiverse? -· nature of Islamic and Hispanic countries sending forth immigrants remains immutable. Which is why it won't matter much to the world if the United States ever becomes the 18th Spanish-speaking country in the Western Hemisphere, and if Britain ever becomes the 57th nation in the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Except, that is, to those who would lament the passing of the English-speaking peoples. President Bush and Prime Minister Blair obviously don't belong to such a group, but who does? The group exists · in shamed silence, having bought the PC line . that cultural selfpreservation Western self-preservation, that is-is nothing but an exercise in crude racism. But is it really? If we. never hear any answer but "yes," it's time to get out the handkerchiefs ' and weep, silently. we' re emphatically not. And that's shocking, too. But more than shocking, this whole issue is depressing and distressing - although I know I'm not supposed to Diana say so.

Survey finds early support for proposed school funding fix CLEVELAND (AP) of Nearly two-thirds Ohioans support a proposed ball<it issue that aims to fix Ohio's unconstitutional school funding system, according to a survey. A survey by the BaldwinWallace College's Public Interest Research Center, conducted March 26 to April 12, found tha~ 48 percent of Ohio adults supported tlie measure, and 16 percent strongly supported it. · A coalition of teachers unions and other education groups are pushing the . measure. Less than one in five respondents said they opposed the idea. About the same number had no opinion . "I'm not surprised," said Debbie ·Phillips, executive director of the Ohio Fair Schools Campaign, one of the groups circulating petitions in favor of the amend- . ment. "People are very frustrated by the current system. The random statewide telephone survey of 777 adults had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

Supporters need to collect 402,276 signatures of registerel'l voters by Aug. 8 to put the issue on the November ballot. The Ohio Supreme Court first declared the state 's school funding system unconstitutional in 1997, saying a heavy reliance o.n the local taX base created inequality between districts because a poor district couldn 't raise as much money as a wealthy one. Political analysts say public opinion on the proposed ballot issue can change drao matically once pro and con campaigns take shape and messages are sharpened. " It' s real early," said Steve Brooks of the Bliss Institute at the University of Akron . "For a variety of reasons, the Ohio public believes our school funding system needs to be fixed .

St., "Muhammad" is the ·secondmost popular name in Britain. As George W, Bush is finally deserted by his longsuffering conservative base, "Jose" is not the secondmost popular name in the United States. But Spanish, as yet unofficially, is America's second language. Such developments repre sent two obviously different phenomena - the impact of Muslims and Hispanics on societies once aptly summed up as E!nglish-speaking peoples. What is similar is the phenomena's transformative effect: Britain is increasingly defined by its accommodation of a tiny (3 percent) Islamic minority; the United States is increasingly , defined by its accommodation of a large Hispanic ·minority ( 14.8 percent), some considerable number of whom are here illegally·. Is this a shocking turn of events? You bet. Of course, to anyone who remembers the "Behead Those Who Insult Islam" posters displayed in London last year, the Islamization of Britain may seem long obvious. But that doesn 't mean it isn't startling to see, quantified, in a government tally of baby names, a reliable indicator of the increasingly Muslim future of Britain. Similarly, to anyone beset by bilingualism, in both business 'and the business of daily life, the Hispanization of America is currently a fact. But that doesn't mean but not irreversible transformation - has been grossly undermined. Not only are the traditions and characteristics .(English-speaking? Non-Muslim?) of our societies now regarded as being retrograde embarrassments, we are al so supposed to cheerfully maintain our societies in a perpetual state of ethnic and/or religious flux . The irony that goes unremarked is that the homogenous - dare I say, nondiverse? -· nature of Islamic and Hispanic countries sending forth immigrants remains immutable. Which is why it won't matter much to the world if the United States ever becomes the 18th Spanish-speaking country in the Western Hemisphere, and if Britain ever becomes the 57th nation in the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Except, that is, to those who would lament the passing of the English-speaking peoples. President Bush and Prime Minister Blair obviously don't belong to such a group, but who does? The group exists · in shamed silence, having bought the PC line . that cultural selfpreservation Western self-preservation, that is-is nothing but an exercise in crude racism. But is it really? If we. never hear any answer but "yes," it's time to get out the handkerchiefs ' and weep, silently. we' re emphatically not. And that's shocking, too. But more than shocking, this whole issue is depressing and distressing - although I know I'm not supposed to Diana say so.

Critics say the stings produce victimless crimes because police end up nabbing online predators who act on fantasy or curiosity but don't actually molest a child, an argument that angers prosecutors.

"A whole lot of thmgs changed for a whole lot of people," Popov1ch said. ''I'm one of them." The Spurs bounced back with 56 wins the next season, won their first NBA tttle the following one and added two more in 2003 and '05. Duncan was the NBA finals MVP in all of them. Meanwhtle, the Cavaliers had become one of the NBA's worst franchtses. Dunng a stretch when 30 wms was a good season, Cleveland bottomed out in 2002-03 wtth a 17-65 record, matching Denver for the worst m the league But the Cavs knew all about the high school stud who used to come to thetr arena. And when they won the nght to draft h1m, it was one of the btggest victones ever for a city that had become accustomed to nothmg but pamfullosses. "I knew that we had a good chance of getting him," center Zydrunas llgauskas said "But, really, JUSt like tht s year's lottery shows, you· have no guarantees And With LeBron bemg a local ktd, it was a big deal m Cleveland. At that point, I kind of thought maybe we're not cursed " James needed only four years to get Cleveland to thetr first NBA finals. And even tf they fall shon against Spurs, the Duncan 's Cavaliers have reason to believe they' II wm one at some point. Maybe tt wtll be against the Tratl Blazers. He dtdn't. The Cavaliers did As fans dressed m silver aJld black poured mto the arena on a sultry night m south Texas, a manacht band played to chants of "Go, Spurs, Go!," a cry that can be heard in the streets of the Alamo Ctty even when there's no game scheduled. Several fans posed to get their pictures taken in front of a display case containing the club's NBA title trophies from 1999, 2003 and 2005. There's plenty of room for a fourth, and the Spurs appear poised to get had to wait about 35 minutes for NASCAR to call the event, handmg Gordon h1s fourth wm at Pocono and first since 1998 "Steve Letarte, he won th1 s race today," Gordon srud. "We had a great race car, but without track position and without a great nsky call like that . I can't believe we just won thts race." Drivers had to wmt agam after last , week's race at Dover was pushed back a day because of ram. The Pocono 500 became a race to the 10 I st lap to make It offictal, Ieadmg to some hard and frantic racmg early on a track more known for some leisurely stretches m the first half. Manin Truex Jr. was thtrd and Casey Mears fourth m the first Nextel Cup race smce former NASCAR chauman Bill France Jr died on Monday. A moment of stlence was held before the green flag dropped and a prayer was said at the end of the driver 's meeting to "remember the France fami ly and continue to comfort them " "Bill and his entire family did so much for the sport," Gordon said. "You know, we wouldn't be here wtth these sponsors all over the cars and the fan s in the Race from Page Bl if I need to," Strawther said. "I don't know if it is the racmg or the camaradene With the people and the racers, but it is exciting and it can somelimes be overwhelmin~." Now, after steppmg m and keeping the track open for at least another season, the first big race of the year has come and gone with pleasant weather and good racmg tor spectators and dnvers. In fact, some dnvers even noted that the track was m the best shape n has been m years, with some postmg new personal best times on the tight gnppmg surface over the weekend Racmg kicked off Fnday wtth testing for the drivers and a bracket race that night, followed by a full day of quahfymg Saturday afternoon and a bonus show that night with QUJck 8 Top Dragsters making runs down the track. The weekend ended with a church servtce Sunday mornmg before final elimmations began for the IHRA points race held throughout the afternoon. "You can't tmagine whattt takes to get an event like thts ready until you start working on Jt The hours that you put together to try to get It presentable and nght for the public are mcredible," Strawther said. Full results from thts weekends racmg action were not available as of press time. Please check the Regtster for full results later this week. With one btg event m the books and by far the b1ggest event of the season, the Ntght of Ftre, JUSt two weeks away; 1t is clear the track is at least on the nght path for now. But what lies down the road for the track no one really knows. "You always hope to see floor for 2:55 before bemg forced to the bench w1th h1s second personal foul. From star to star wnness, James could do nothmg but sit, watch and chew on his fingernails as the Spurs, efficiently and effortlessly took control, reeling off 12 stratght pomts to take a 2817 lead after one. Surrounded by the usual media horde at his locker, James seemed relaxed as he prepared for his second finals appearance. In the t'ime off since Game I he had watched two replays of the loss and hinted of a plan II. to attack the Spurs more James was confident he than he did in the opener, would play better after his when he too often stood Game I flop, and as Ion~ as near the top of the key dribhe dtd, he felt the Cavahers bling away would be OK. But there was no more "When I make adjust- room for htm to operate as ments, my team automati- the Spurs cut off passing cally makes ailjustmems," lanes and channeled James he said "We have to play to the sideline and away hard for 48 mmutes " from the basket But as they But he was only on the dtd m Game I, the Cavaliers stands and be th1s excned about pit strategy wms 1f th1s sport wasn't as popular as 11 Js And that would never be poss1ble Without B1ll France Jr , without B11l France Sr and the France famt ly'' Joe G1bbs Racmg teammates Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin took IJfth and stxth Ham lm swept 1 both races on the 2.5- mJ!e tn ang le track last season and fa iled 111 ht s bid to become only the thtrd dn ver to w1n three straight here Kun Busc h. docked I00 pomts for h1s pit road run-1n w1th Stewart at Dover, was 16th J1mm•c Johnson , who en tered second m the pmnts standmgs, blew h1s lett fron t tire 9 1 laps tnto the race causmg h1s No. 48 Chevrolet to spark and smoke mto ptt road Johnson, who swept Pocono m 2004, took his car to the garage and he fint shed 42nd Gordon won for the fourth lime m the last seven races to go alon~ with Victory Lane celebrations at Phoem x, Talladega and Darlington "The 24 snookered all of us pretty bad," Truex satd "I thmk five or 10 more laps and we had a shot at the Wlll" things grow, but I won 't mind if they just stay the same as a place for people to race. As far as dtrection, as long as It stays on the course Jt is on I don't know that we are goi n~ to have too much change m the growth wnh the track," Strawther said "I thmk th ~ growth IS gomg to come with the people that enJOY JUSt gettmg out and enJoymg the races The track Itself, w1th gas pnces on the nse, I tlunk It 1s gmng to take a downfall more than anythmg else " Regardless of what lies down the road, track oflictals can fmd comfort m knowmg that, at least for now, the track JS up and running and the b•ggest event ot the season 1s JUSt around the bend Last year's N1ght of F•re at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park brought out one of the largest crowds m track h1story. The Super Charged Thunder diVIston produced an excttmg mght of racing, along with two Jet dragsters whtch reached speeds neanng 220 mph on the 1/8 mile track. But the b1g event last year was the 20,000 horsepower, three ton se mt driven by Bob Motz When fired up, the truck pwduced an incred1ble fire trml wnh an engme that sounded like a some boom when tak1ng off as the mo!OJ ate 50 gallons of fuel per 1/8 m1le run All three shows, plus a few others, are planned to return to the track Saturday, June 23. And for anyone hesitant to enJOY a weekend at the races, even Strawther admtts that he hasn't always been a race fan. "I d1dn 't know anythmg about drag racmg 15 yeai·s ago," Strawther satd "At first I purchased a body shop and the guy that owned the body shop was a racer and I followed h1m to a couple of race t1 acks and got tnto tt." ~arne to life late, made the score mterestmg and gave them hope that they m1ght be able to make Jt a long senes after all Notes.

They still Spurs, Cavs had to be lucky before they were good BY BRIAN MAHONEY ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO Feanng he had be~n Jmxed, Spurs general manager R.C. Buford tapped the door behmd him m the arena hallway. He had been ,asked a questiOn that presumed a founh NBA title was on the way, and thts was no lime to mess wah karma Pure, Simple luck is no small tli10g 10 sports And the Spurs and Cavahers well know tt takes a healthy dose of tt to buifd a contender. "There's a lot of luck, a lot of luck involved m it," Cleveland coach Mike Brown sa1d It's satd that sometimes tt's better to be lucky than good. But there was a shght twist on that 10 these NBA finals, which the Spurs led 1-0 entenng Game 2 on Sunday mght.

"Four for Four" has become the popular catchphrase among San Antomo Tans m these finals, and the Spurs are making tt stick · Game 3 is Tuesday night at Qutcken Loans Arena, whtch has never hosted a finals game and may only end up holding two unless the Cavaliers can put together four sohd quarters.

Boston had a 30-pomt bulge in its romp over the Lakers in 1985. "And Pop's said time and time agam, without Ttm or Davtd he wouldn 't be where he IS." So 11 Greg Oden or Kevm Durant IS as good as advertised, figure on seemg Portland in the NBA finals in a few years Getting lucky at the nght t1me, as the Tratl Blazers did in winning this year's lottery, IS the easJe&l way to go fwm basement to penthouse. "Everything ts luck," Buford satd "If we don't have the lottery m ' 87 or '97, we 're not the same franchJse" The Spurs had gone four years without a winning record when they landed Robmson, the star center from Navy They went 31-51 and 21-61 in the two seasons whtle Robmson was servmg h1s milttary requirement, then made what at the time was the biggest one-season turnaround m NBA h1 story, going 56-26 once the Admtral arnved. They broke that record etght years later. San Antomo had fallen to 20-62 dunng the 1996-97 season, when Robmson was hmtted to s1x games by mJury Popovich took over as coach e!lfiY in that season and had no tdea he 'd soon be diagramming plays for a star forward from Wake Forest because the Gnzzlies and Celtlcs both had better odds of getting h1m "He wasn't even on our radar screen. We didn 't even talk about htm," Popovich sa1d "I don't remember all the guys that were there, but I thmk Ketth Van Hom was in thai same draft and there was somebody else There were two or three people we thought might have a chance. "We were like th1rd or fourth by wmmng percentage or record.

"A whole lot of thmgs changed for a whole lot of people," Popov1ch said. ''I'm one of them." The Spurs bounced back with 56 wins the next season, won their first NBA tttle the following one and added two more in 2003 and '05. Duncan was the NBA finals MVP in all of them. Meanwhtle, the Cavaliers had become one of the NBA's worst franchtses. Dunng a stretch when 30 wms was a good season, Cleveland bottomed out in 2002-03 wtth a 17-65 record, matching Denver for the worst m the league But the Cavs knew all about the high school stud who used to come to thetr arena. And when they won the nght to draft h1m, it was one of the btggest victones ever for a city that had become accustomed to nothmg but pamfullosses. "I knew that we had a good chance of getting him," center Zydrunas llgauskas said "But, really, JUSt like tht s year's lottery shows, you· have no guarantees And With LeBron bemg a local ktd, it was a big deal m Cleveland. At that point, I kind of thought maybe we're not cursed " James needed only four years to get Cleveland to thetr first NBA finals. And even tf they fall shon against Spurs, the Duncan 's Cavaliers have reason to believe they' II wm one at some point. Maybe tt wtll be against the Tratl Blazers. He dtdn't. The Cavaliers did As fans dressed m silver aJld black poured mto the arena on a sultry night m south Texas, a manacht band played to chants of "Go, Spurs, Go!," a cry that can be heard in the streets of the Alamo Ctty even when there's no game scheduled. Several fans posed to get their pictures taken in front of a display case containing the club's NBA title trophies from 1999, 2003 and 2005. There's plenty of room for a fourth, and the Spurs appear poised to get had to wait about 35 minutes for NASCAR to call the event, handmg Gordon h1s fourth wm at Pocono and first since 1998 "Steve Letarte, he won th1 s race today," Gordon srud. "We had a great race car, but without track position and without a great nsky call like that . I can't believe we just won thts race." Drivers had to wmt agam after last , week's race at Dover was pushed back a day because of ram. The Pocono 500 became a race to the 10 I st lap to make It offictal, Ieadmg to some hard and frantic racmg early on a track more known for some leisurely stretches m the first half. Manin Truex Jr. was thtrd and Casey Mears fourth m the first Nextel Cup race smce former NASCAR chauman Bill France Jr died on Monday. A moment of stlence was held before the green flag dropped and a prayer was said at the end of the driver 's meeting to "remember the France fami ly and continue to comfort them " "Bill and his entire family did so much for the sport," Gordon said. "You know, we wouldn't be here wtth these sponsors all over the cars and the fan s in the Race from Page Bl if I need to," Strawther said. "I don't know if it is the racmg or the camaradene With the people and the racers, but it is exciting and it can somelimes be overwhelmin~." Now, after steppmg m and keeping the track open for at least another season, the first big race of the year has come and gone with pleasant weather and good racmg tor spectators and dnvers. In fact, some dnvers even noted that the track was m the best shape n has been m years, with some postmg new personal best times on the tight gnppmg surface over the weekend Racmg kicked off Fnday wtth testing for the drivers and a bracket race that night, followed by a full day of quahfymg Saturday afternoon and a bonus show that night with QUJck 8 Top Dragsters making runs down the track. The weekend ended with a church servtce Sunday mornmg before final elimmations began for the IHRA points race held throughout the afternoon. "You can't tmagine whattt takes to get an event like thts ready until you start working on Jt The hours that you put together to try to get It presentable and nght for the public are mcredible," Strawther said.

With one btg event m the books and by far the b1ggest event of the season, the Ntght of Ftre, JUSt two weeks away; 1t is clear the track is at least on the nght path for now.

From star to star wnness, James could do nothmg but sit, watch and chew on his fingernails as the Spurs, efficiently and effortlessly took control, reeling off 12 stratght pomts to take a 2817 lead after one. Surrounded by the usual media horde at his locker, James seemed relaxed as he prepared for his second finals appearance. In the t'ime off since Game I he had watched two replays of the loss and hinted of a plan II. to attack the Spurs more James was confident he than he did in the opener, would play better after his when he too often stood Game I flop, and as Ion~ as near the top of the key dribhe dtd, he felt the Cavahers bling away would be OK.

And for anyone hesitant to enJOY a weekend at the races, even Strawther admtts that he hasn't always been a race fan. "I d1dn 't know anythmg about drag racmg 15 yeai·s ago," Strawther satd "At first I purchased a body shop and the guy that owned the body shop was a racer and I followed h1m to a couple of race t1 acks and got tnto tt." ~arne to life late, made the score mterestmg and gave them hope that they m1ght be able to make Jt a long senes after all Notes.

West North Eul ,. Dbt. 6• Pass Pass 4• Pruls Pass Pass If you cannot, let them do it As a rule, a competent declarer will see the most logical way to try to make his contract. But occasionally he will need considerable Imagination - as in this deal. How would you play in six spades. reached after East opened two damonds, a weak two-bid showing a decent six-card suit and some 5·10 highcard points. West leads the diamond three, a known singleton. South does not have a clear-cut calf over two diamonds. To double with a void in an unbid suit Is t.nappeafirrg. ·But he dectded that a four-spade overcal would be an underbid. Then, when North jumped to lour ctubs, snowing some 911 points, Sou1i1 bid what ha hoped he could make. Declarer woo the first trit* With his dia· mond ace and drew two rounds of trumps. If they had split 2-2, South would have reached dummy's clubs. But when they broke 3-1, declarer removed West's last spade, lhen imaginatively led the heart queen. West knew, however, that n South had a club, he would have claimed, so t~e actual layout was not too hard to visualize. When West imaginatively ducked this trick, dectarer had no chance. Let's go back two tricks. After two rounds of trumps, South should have led a high-· ty imaginative spade twol West would have had to win with his 10 and would have been trapped. He would shift to a low heart, but declarer would rise with dummy's jack and would have his entry . to the clubs. Finally, note that it does not help West to throw his two hjghest spades under South's ace and king. Then declarer wins the third ro1.1nd of spades with dummy's six. 1\loodoy, June12, 2007 By Bernice Bedo Ooot You could find yourself lnvotved In a few coven relationships .The ones you establish for business pu rposes may be a necessity, but those of a social nature could tum out to be problematical for you.

Even without a Triple Crown on the line, and with Street Sense not in the field, this Belmont will be one 10 remember. Rags to Riches became the third fill y to capture the Belmont - Ruthless took the first nmning in 1867 and Tanya won in 1905. Only 22 fillies . have tried the Belmont, with Rags to Riches the fi rst since Silverbulletday finished seventh in !999. The Belmont is a race that Kentucky Derby winning fillies Winning Colors and Genuine Risk could not win. Rags to Riches won in 2:28.74, well off Secretariat's track record of 2:24. But time didn't matter in this one. "After we made the deci- Reds · from PageBl scoreless the rest of the way. Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia , bidding to become the majors' tirst I0game winner, stifled the Reds through nine innings on three hits and one walk . He struck out six. A defensive play by Josh Hamilton saved the game for the Red s. Marcus McBeth (0-1 ) got his first big league victory thanks to Hamilton's effort in the top of the lOth. Pinch runner Jason Michaels had gone to third on a passed ball, but Gutierrez flied to center and Hamilton threw out Michaels trying to score. "You try to be evenkeeled, but I was backing · up home plate when he threw that guy out, and I was shouting and pumping my fist," McBeth said. / sian to run the filly, the reaction from the racing community was very enthusiastic," Pletcher said. "It .was great for racing, great for the day. Obviously. it was great for the filly." Rags to Riches was sent off as the 4-1 second choice and· returned ·$10.60, $4.40 and $3.20. Curlin, with Robby Albarado aboard. paid $3 and $2.30. Tiago was third and returned $3.70. Hard Spun fini shed fourth, fo llowed by C P West, lmawildandcrazyguy and Slew's Tizzy. It was Pletcher who made the surprise ca.!I to run Rags to Riches, who dominated her own di vision with fou·r straight victories, including the Kentucky Oaks five weeks ago · at Churchill Downs. The nation's top trainer said the absence of Street Sense, plus his filly's pedigree added up to taking a shot. Drawing on the bloodlines that carried her father, A.P. Indy, and grandfath er, "Ri ght man, ri ght spot, right time." Cleveland manager Eric Wedge said it was a situation where Michaels had to be sent home. "He (Gutierrez) didn 't hit it well, but you hope for .a bad throw," Wedge said. "When you play that long, you have to try." Pinch hitter Chad Moeller started Cincinnati's 12thinning rally with a one-out double, and Edwin Encarnacion was walked intentionally. Josh Hamilton filed out, and Gon zalez singled up the middle, driving in Moeller. He had just broken a 0for- 13 slump an inning earlier. Although Gonzalez ·Singled off Matt Miller, the run was charged to Aaron Fultz (3- 1).
