Can a professional basketball team succeed in Peoria? The organizers of a new league think it can. Eric Dunn of the International Basketball League was in town Tuesday discussing plans for a 2005 start up. Peoria would be one of about a dozen teams in the new league which Dunn says would survive by keeping salaries and travel costs low. "Let's say a team from Oregon or Washington comes out - they'll play in one weekend a team in Peoria, they'll play a team in Decatur, they'll play a team in Joliet, they'll play a team in Aurora, and that will be all in a weekend's time. The plan for the beginning of the 2005 season is each team will play 20 games. You play 10 home games, you'll play 6 games that are within close proximity and then you have one long road trip," said Dunn.

BUSHIDO ( SAMURAI SPIRIT = Chivalry ) is a flower no less indigenous to soil of Japan than its emblem, the cherry blossom. The conditions of society which brought it forth and nourished it have long disappeared; but as those far-off stars which once were and are not, still continue to shed their rays upon us, so the light of BUSHIDO which was a child of feudalism,still illuminates our moral path, surviving its mother institution. KABUKI Kabuki originated in the early Edo period, when a woman called Okuni of Izumo performed a Buddhist dance in an unusual costume in Kyoto. the dance was later deemed morally unacceptable,and woman were prohibited from performing it. Instead, only adult men were allowed to perform.This custom has been maintained in present-day kabuki. No originated in the art of dengaku(ritual field music and dance) and sarugaku (mimic plays) in the kamakura era; which developed as music-plays incorporating beautiful music and dance in the Muromachi era. Kyougen, on the other hand, is comedic drama. UKIYO-E A genre painting popular among the common people during the Edo period (1600-1868). Ukiyu means "pleasure-seeking," or "sensual" in Japanese, and this world was actually the subject of paintings called Ukiyo-e.Most Ukiyo-e were prints that could be mass-produced. Drawings were rare.

It is often said that competition (shiai) is a very minor part of Karate or that it is unimportant in the overall context of training. To some extent, this almost relegates a significant aspect of training to a position of irrelevance. It may be true that training specifically with shiai in mind and thereby ignoring everything else is not the correct approach, however a good argument could be made that shiai practice is a prominent and very important aspect of JKA training. The establishment of the Japan Karate Association over half a century ago almost coincides with the formulation by the JKA of a set of competitive rules to test the efficacy of the various techniques (waza) in a combat simulated situation for Kumite and in an individual display of Karate skills in Kata. In other words, shiai has been around nearly as long as the JKA itself. Indeed the first JKA all Japan Championships took place in 1958. Since that time the rules have been modified only slightly, signifying their longevity by standing the test of time. A good indication of the success of any set of competition rules is the results achieved under those rules over an extended period A good indication of the success of any set of competition rules is the results achieved under those rules over an extended period. In terms of outright sports such as Soccer or Athletics, deciding a winner is relatively easy and for the most part, no-one questions the outcome. For example, with very few exceptions, the winner of the FIFA world cup Soccer event is the best team of the tournament, likewise the winner of the Olympic 100 metres sprint race is the fastest person competing in the event. In JKA competition, the same degree of consistency is present among the winners. It is very rare indeed for an inexperienced player or one without a best-in-tournament level of speed, timing and clean waza to repeatedly emerge as champion.
