| Wrestling: Palmetto Ridge, South Dade share Dodge Duals title
South Dade, meanwhile, had six matches and won those in similar fashion, flushing their competition by a 306-61 count. “We'd never won this tournament," said senior Richie Dehnz, after he and his teammates posed for pictures with their trophy. “That's why this is big for us." They kept everyone healthy, too. That was just as important. About two weeks ago, South Dade coach Vic Balmaceda, himself concerned with keeping his squad in one piece, proposed to Palmetto Ridge's Mark Rosenbalm that their teams not meet in the Duals if it came to that. It did. So they didn't. South Dade, the favorite to win the Class 3A state title, and Palmetto Ridge passed on the chance to lock up for the third straight weekend. They didn't want either squad to cost its opponent the shot at a more significant championship down the road.

Half of Scots see Muslims as 'cultural threat' in wake of terrorist ...
We must address this to ensure Scotland's future success as a welcoming, modern nation." ANALYSIS: PREJUDICE AGAINST FAITH NOT COLOURTHE revealing statistic in yesterday's government report into discrimination is that while 4 per cent of people would object to an Asian teacher, 21 per cent would do so if it was a Muslim teacher writes Osama Saeed. It confirms the trend whereby people of colour have gained increasing acceptance, while prejudice now targets people because of their faith. We now have a situation where white people of Celtic stock convert to Islam and are being told to "go home". To where? Glasgow? Recently a lady who converted was called a "White Paki" because of her hijab . A group of thugs threw a glass bottle at her. According to the report, half of Scots believe that the addition of more Muslims will threaten the country's identity.

Camera legend Harris Savides shoots on the fly, as if he'd sneaked into a Seventies time capsule. And Ridley Scott, at the top of his game, directs like a man possessed. Jay-Z did a hip-hop concept album, unconnected to the soundtrack, to pay tribute. So what's the downside? The movie is long (157 minutes), overstuffed (horn-dog Richie's court fight against his wife for child custody belongs on Lifetime), shadowed by innovators (Coppola, Scorsese, The Sopranos) and limited by giving equal time to Richie when -- don't kid yourself -- Frank is the flame that draws us in. We see Frank first torching a victim, then pumping him full of bullets. In business, Frank doesn't believe in a job half done. An uneducated force of nature from North Carolina who hits New York as a driver for black mobster Bumpy Johnson (a knockout Clarence Williams III), Frank is soon a star peddler of heroin.
Obama: Beware 'Reverse Bradley'
I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas." Has Rove accidentally ripped the mask off the vicious social inegalitarianism of Bush's immigration plan, as Mark Krikorian argues, or does a more benign interpretation of his comments save him? It's not like he hasn't said this sort of thing before, apparently. Indeed, his June, 2006 version makes the probable context of last week's remark quite clear--and Rove's not simply "saying that every parent wants their child to have a high-skilled, high-wage job," as the White House's damage control suggests. Here's the 2006 pitch: "Now frankly," Rove said during a riff on the temporary worker part of President Bush's immigration reform plan, "I don't want my kid digging ditches. I don't want my kid slinging tar.
