Altogether they left the ground at least three dozen times – handled with conspicuous expertise by their riders – and they will do this twice a week.”I see horses in training in England and Ireland, and that’s the huge difference here,” Barjot said. They then retired to repeat the process dizzily round a tight ring, barely a furlong round, with three jumps in each circuit. Here, they start the horses young and they never let them stop. Yesterday they could be seen absorbing a shattering routine of swinging canters in heavy sand, interspersed with jumps, clockwise and anticlockwise. For trainers, it is akin to polishing S?es: it has to be done occasionally, but very warily.
But the town that was designated “a research laboratory for urbanism” after the bombardment of 1945 has also refined a system of training racehorses that demands to be taken very earnestly indeed.In Britain, jumpers are schooled over obstacles as sparingly as possible. The racecourse itself holds only half a dozen meetings during August They might as well roll up the pavements until the spring. At this time of year the sprawling resort of Royan has a shuttered, abandoned air. “He loves racing in France and Ireland, but for him Cheltenham is really the place.”On the face of it, these corrugated stables would seem an incongruous place to find a Festival winner. The Irish property tycoon has become his most important patron and the impetus behind the present adventure “To Sean Mulryan, Cheltenham is the Olympics,” Barjot said. Macaire is a vivid, demonstrative man and you could nearly hear him growling Chaille-Chaille is another type of Gaul altogether At 41, he is slim, elegant and understated.
Muttering languidly, he leaves most of the talking to Herv?arjot, racing manager to Sean Mulryan. Now Chaille-Chaille intends to reduce that to mere parochial detail by sending five of his best horses to the Cheltenham Festival – a challenge that bewitched Macaire, but for the time being seems to have defeated him.
Yesterday, as a grey morning struggled to divide beach, ocean and sky, Macaire gazed across the track as Chaille-Chaille introduced his Cheltenham team to a coachload of journalists. Arnaud Chaille-Chaille and Guillaume Macaire both train their horses on La Palmyre racecourse, between a zoo and a nudist colony, at the top of the Gironde estuary. They use the same rudimentary facilities, and the same exhaustive methods.
If Macaire has so far remained invulnerable at the top of the table, then his younger neighbour is steadily narrowing the gap: fourth in 2003 and 2004, second last year. They nest in a scrape on the ground, and in good years they line the nursery with a store of dead prey.Last year there were also sightings in Shetland, Wester Ross and Aberdeenshire.. If Somerset sometimes seems barely large enough to accommodate both Martin Pipe and Paul Nicholls, then it is hardly surprising if a frisson of claustrophobia can be detected between the two leading jumps trainers in France.

“The opportunity to return came much quicker than imagined, so I sat down with Ricoh and talked them through it. Basically, I asked them for their blessing, and they gave it me. I was enjoying myself in Tokyo; my wife speaks fluent Japanese and she loved it too The conditions are good. The people are enthusiastic – an awful lot of good coaches go to Japan and never come back out. But London Irish were very committed to moving forward and the temptation was too great.”Everything I’ve requested, I’ve been given. I say: ‘Wouldn’t if be terrific if we signed Faan Rautenbach?’ Bang, we get Faan Rautenbach.

I suggest it might be a good idea to do a pre-season fitness camp in Poland, where they have this advanced place specialising in cryogenics Hey, we’re in Poland. The support from the management and directors has been total. They have a real desire to turn things around after a couple of difficult seasons and when you’re working in a positive environment like this, it’s easier to build the confidence that translates to results on a weekend.”Smith places himself firmly in rugby’s enabling tradition, as opposed to its preventative one.
“I’m in the Brian Ashton camp when it comes to running rugby,” he said proudly “Four tries a game and I’d die happy. To my mind, it’s a question of good over evil.” It is, therefore, slightly strange that he should first have come to the notice of the Premiership coaching fraternity as the man in charge of Bath’s defensive game – a task he accomplished so effortlessly that the West Countrymen set new standards of Scrooge-like parsimony during his time at the Recreation Ground.Bath supporters were profoundly baffled by his departure, especially as his fellow coaches – John Connolly, Michael Foley, Richard Graham – were fellow Australians. Smith always seemed at one remove from the Queenslanders, though; the atmosphere at the Rec was not prickly, exactly, but there was undoubtedly a sense of distance. Now, Connolly and Foley are numbers one and two in a new Wallaby back-room team working towards next year’s World Cup in France. Smith craves the chance to coach in a global tournament and will probably do so soon enough, but 2007 is not on the agenda.”Australian rugby? It’s a shambles,” he said in the kind of conclusive tone that should reassure another former Bath coach, the beleaguered Andy Robinson, as he prepares to lead England on a two-Test trip to Wallaby country this summer.
“They had a chief executive in John O’Neill who gave the game its vision, its profile, its money. What happened? A faction on the board conspired to get rid of him, so he now spends his time running Australian football, which has never had it so good. We then have another faction getting rid of the first faction and end up with people at the top who know nothing about rugby, but who see to it that Eddie Jones, who knows a hell of a lot, gets sacked.”They assumed Ewen McKenzie would take over from Eddie, but he said: ‘With this set-up? No way.’ So they’ve gone back to John Connolly. He has nothing to lose, I guess, but you can’t say it’s been a great episode.”London Irish, on the other hand, are having much more fun. They are third in the Premiership, eight points adrift of today’s opponents, who have led the way since hostilities commenced in September. Smith is not completely taken with the Exiles’ chances this afternoon – “We’re limping into this game; half our forward pack is missing” – but he is neither embarrassed by, nor apologetic about, his team’s current place in the table.”It’s a true reflection of where we are,” he said “It’s not as if we’re three rounds into the competition.

She met Ted Olson at a legal conference in 1989, where he spoke on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act (Rico) She said, “He had a fabulous voice Rich, rumbling, sort of makes-your-ribs-vibrate voice. He really made sense out of the Rico statutes.”She was the author of two books about Hillary Clinton. The first, Hell to Pay: the unfolding story of Hillary Rodham Clinton (1999), was a blistering expos?Olson’s take on Mrs Clinton was unmerciful. She maintained that the Clintons’ marriage was a sham and was quoted, days before her own death, as saying that the Clintons were in effect separated. Her second, The Final Days: a behind the scenes look at the last desperate abuses of power by the Clinton White House, is an equally unfriendly account of the various scandals, including dubious pardons, of President Clinton’s last days in the White House, and is due to be published next month.In 1998, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Barbara Olson appeared on talk shows almost nightly She was described as “tough”, “smooth as silk” and a “pro”. She and her husband were known as one of the “power couples” in conservative Washington, their home in the suburb of Great Falls a centre for conservative partying and politicking.When, on Tuesday, hijackers took over American Airlines flight 77 from Washington to Los Angeles, on which she was a passenger, Olson coolly locked herself in the lavatory and speed-dialled her husband at his office a mile or so away and told him what had happened, speaking to him seconds before the plane plunged into the Pentagon. She was only on the fatal flight because she had delayed her trip to be with her husband on his birthday.Godfrey Hodgson.

Daniel M. Lewin, information technologist: born Denver, Colorado 1970; chief technology officer, Akamai Technologies 1998-2001; married (two sons); died New York 11 September 2001.
Daniel Lewin was a co-founder of Akamai Technologies, a leading internet services company located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Lewin was the chief technology officer of Akamai, a company established in September 1998 to enable companies to reduce the complexity and cost of delivering web-site content. The company’s customers include many leading media companies such as Britannica, CNN, Paramount, Reuters and Yahoo!, as well as financial services operations and internet retailers. Under Lewin’s technical leadership the company grew meteorically, currently with over a thousand employees and delivering content through 11,600 servers on 800 networks in 62 countries.Lewin was born in Denver, Colorado, in 1970, but grew up in Jerusalem, and maintained dual citizenship.
Before going to university, he served in the Israel Defence Forces for more than four years, rising to the rank of captain. He was a brilliant and energetic student, studying at Technion, Israel’s top technological university, while at the same time employed full-time in IBM’s Haifa research laboratory. In 1995 Technion named him the year’s Outstanding Student in Computer Engineering. At IBM he was responsible for Genesys, a system for the verification of computer hardware, used by IBM and several other computer manufacturers.In 1996 he enrolled for a master’s degree at the Laboratory for Computer Science in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The topic of his master’s thesis was inspired by Tim Berners-Lee, the British-born inventor of the World Wide Web, who had recently joined MIT.
Berners-Lee recognised that congestion on the web – sometimes despairingly called the World Wide Wait – was a major technical problem for the internet, and set a challenge to his MIT colleagues to invent fundamentally new and better ways of delivering content.Another problem was coping with web “hot spots” when millions of surfers use the same web site at the same time – the internet equivalent of what happens when millions of television viewers switch on the electric kettle during a commercial break. Professor Tom Leighton, who had an office down the corridor from Berners-Lee and was head of the MIT Algorithms Group, was intrigued by the challenge, and set up a project to explore mathematically based solutions to the problem.Lewin was one of the graduate students who joined the group, which developed a number of breakthrough techniques for tackling the problem of net congestion. Some of these methods were described in Lewin’s dissertation, which won MIT’s award for the best master’s thesis presentation of 1998.In September 1998 Leighton and Lewin co-founded Akamai Technologies, obtaining an exclusive technology licence from MIT. Akamai was set up, with the slogan “delivering a better internet”, to enable corporate clients improve their web-site performance by off-loading big files on to Akamai’s networks, relieving the congestion on their own systems.
While the founders served as chief scientific and technology officers, they were able to convince major figures from the IT industry, including Paul Sagan, former head of Time Inc New Media, to serve as operating officers.Following venture financing, the firm began commercial operation in April 1999. Its charter customer was Yahoo!, perhaps the world’s most- trafficked web site. At its Initial Public Offering in October 1999, the firm was capitalised at $13bn, making its founders briefly paper billionaires, before the internet bubble burst.Lewin was recently named one of the 25 most influential Chief Technology Officers by InfoWorld, and ranked seventh in the Power 100 list of the Enterprise Systems Journal. Having risen to such prominence in the IT industry in just three years, Lewin’s was in every way a career cut short in its prime. He was studying for a PhD at MIT at the time of his death.In private life Lewin lived in Brookline, Massachusetts, and his pastimes were devoted to the pursuit of speed – motor cycling, fast cars, and skiing. He died on the American Airlines flight 11 that crashed into the World Trade Centre.Martin Campbell-Kelly.

International comparisons suggest that in literacy we are in the second division, well behind New Zealand and the United States, to mention just English-speaking examples. In setting up the Literacy Task Force, which will report on Thursday, David Blunkett anticipated this challenge. Its task has been to design a strategy which, if pursued over a five to ten year period, would ensure that all eleven-year-olds could not only read but read well. If we want our school and college leaving standards to match the best in the 21st century, we must first ensure that reading standards are transformed.
In the 1996 national tests, only 57 per cent of pupils achieved or exceeded the standard expected of eleven year olds.
This has profound implications for our national education system. Unless its standards match those of the best worldwide, our young people may find that in the global job market they fall far behind their peers from Singapore, New Zealand or Germany They will have been betrayed. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank recruits employees from over 50 different national education systems It is not alone. “Which may be why polls are not much in evidence these days.Because, far from being too simple for us, they are actually too sophisticated for most voters.If you agree, phone Yes If you disagree, phone the No line. This Malcolm Rifkind business is very serious, is it not?No, it’s not.Who cares if he is Jewish?Except those people who are already puzzled by his strangled Scottish accent.Except those people who miss Rabbi Hugo Gryn on Radio 4 very much and think of Malcolm Rifkind as a pretty poor Jewish replacement.8 Hmm … Well, what’s wrong with questions like that?Everything.They are the sort of questions which only politicians want to know the answers to.They are the sort of dumb-assed questions asked by interviewers on the Today programme.They don’t reflect the kind of questions the voter is asking.6. How do you mean, being asked the wrong questions?Well, the pollsters only ever ask questions like: If there were an election tomorrow, which party would you vote for?Or, which of the three party leaders do you rate most highly?Or, if John Major stepped down, who would you favour most as the next Tory leader?5.
It’s just that we are fed up being asked the wrong questions.4. The Lottery is all about forecasting things, and so are football pools and astrology, and so are all those programmes on BBC which show the build- up to Five Nations rugby internationals, although that might be a bit different, because international rugby is about the only sport that the BBC has still got hold of, so they have to milk it dry until everyone is bored silly, but the question remains: Although we still love speculation, have we actually got fed up with polls themselves?Yes.No.No, we haven’t. The public is always wasting its money phoning in to vote on matters they cannot possibly affect. The absence of polls is very curious, because the British have always loved indulging in speculation. All we have had so far is the rough findings of canvassers and a defiant shake of the white flag from “Dr” Brian Mawhinney But no polls. Why not, do you think?Because the polls got it so wrong at the last election that the papers don’t want to burn their fingers again.Because the polls got it right at the last election and then people changed their minds after reading the poll results and before voting, thus making it look as if the polls were wrong.Because Tory papers are sick of Blair being so far ahead all the time and would rather not even print the polls.Because the papers have finally tumbled to the fact that polls are not news and nobody gives a toss about them.3.
In this study I’ve been taking 20 second excerpts and cutting off the high frequencies and playing it to people who then rate it emotionally. They say how positive, negative, or encouraging they think the person sounds.My other aim is to find new methods for investigating speech. My research addresses how speech is subconsciously modified depending on the audience, how pervasive these modifications are, and whether they actually benefit the listener.I already have one study running, which is to do with how we modify our speech, linguistically or emotionally. People talk with a range of frequencies, and if you cut off the higher frequencies then speech sounds unintelligible, like a mumble. Two years ago, during my BSc degree, I found that this also happens when we speak to foreigners.
I’m now looking at speech directed to foreigners and to the hearing-impaired, with funding from the Economic and Social Research Council. Monja Knoll, 32, is researching speech production, at the University of Portsmouth
