...well in the members-only aeries these days. During a recent race at the Sha Tin racetrack one sunny Saturday afternoon, HKJC CEO Lawrence Wong warned that horse racing in Hong Kong is facing "irreparable damage" from illegal bookmakers and hefty taxes. Horse-race-gambling revenue taken in by the club?which is less a sanctuary for the moneyed classes than it is a government-sanctioned monopoly gaming enterprise?has fallen in six of the past seven years. Last season's take was 30% lower than in 1997. Says Wong in an e-mail to TIME: "The situation [has] caused...
...even though the cops were actually the ones doing that. Yeah, we sure know how to get wild at old U of H. Just when we thought the melee couldn’t get zanier, the Harvard band climbed on top of the T shelter and played some Sha Na Na. Then a few guys took their shirts off. Take that Northeastern...
...With his new release, Sha Ra Ra Ra, Mehndi is trying to keep pace with the times by adding what he describes as a moodier "jazz and blues" sound. But he's having a hard time keeping out the fun.

At home that night they read that about 40% of kids with A-T get cancer by age 12; 100% deteriorate neurologically, so they're in wheelchairs as early as age 8; most die of lung problems or cancer...
...last track on Ben Kweller’s new album is called “Different But the Same,” and the title pretty well describes the feeling of Kweller’s rootsy rock on this follow-up to 2002’s Sha Sha. Kweller’s songs emulate the driving force of 60s and 70s pop-rock, a style which works with mixed results when combined with Kweller’s emo boy lyrics. Much of On My Way makes for pleasant listening, but many of the tracks sound too identical to artists...
