Pokemon Bblack And White

Pokemon Bblack And White, Pokemon Bblack And WhiteThe fifth-generation Pokémon game has been announced! At least, the titles for the next generation have been announced — Pokémon Black and White are the next pair of Pokémon games, to be released this fall on DS in Japan. Nintendo’s going for relatively simple colors after things like “HeartGold” and “Pearl.” And … that’s pretty much all we know. Of course, given the way the series works, we can all kind of guess exactly how this will play. Or maybe not: a note on the Pokemon home page promises that “every aspect will be reborn innovatively,” according to our translation.





The first new creature from this generation has already been revealed as a sort of teaser: Zoroark, the Monster Fox Pokémon. The teaser site indicates that we’ll know more April 15.

Pakistan Bat in Twenty20 Opener

Pakistan bat in Twenty20 openerBIRMINGHAM: Shahid Afridi won the toss and Pakistan will bat first in the Twenty20 match against Australia at Edgbaston. Pakistan have made four changes from the side that lost to Australia in the World Twenty20 semi-final, with a strong pace attack set to test Australia’s top order.


Umar Gul is making his return from a shoulder injury and will be joined in the bowling unit by Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Aamer and Saeed Ajmal. The only change for Australia from their World Twenty20 final team was Tim Paine in for Brad Haddin, while the captain Michael Clarke was ruled fit after missing Saturday’s ODI against England with back soreness.





The match was set to start in front of a half-full Edgbaston, which theoretically was a neutral venue but featured far more Pakistan supporters than Australian fans.


Pakistan are aiming to end their 12-match losing streak against Australia across all formats, stretching back to the one-day series in Dubai last May.


Pakistan 1 Salman Butt, 2 Shahzaib Hasan, 3 Shoaib Malik, 4 Umar Akmal, 5 Shahid Afridi, 6 Kamran Akmal (wk), 7 Abdur Razzaq, 8 Umar Gul, 9 Shoaib Akhtar, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Mohammad Aamer.

Undertaker Dead

Undertaker DeadUndertaker Dead, WWE Undertaker! On the latest 06/04/10 episode of WWE Smackdown, they ran the latest storyline that The Undertaker is dead. The show opened with the General Manager Theodore Long reporting that Undertaker had been found in a "vegetative state" during this Memorial Day weekend.wasn't from one too many drinks at JR's BBQ, but instead from a vicious, heinous attack. Who was responsible? That's unknown right now, but it provided the backdrop for his brother Kane to become the inquisitor throughout the show.


About 8 druid figures brought a coffin to ringside and set it up, then Kane emerged from backstage to give a eulogy of sorts, saying he didn't expect we'd see his brother ever walk amongst them again. In the ring he delivered one of the more passionate, emotional speeches the Big Red Monster has spoken. Years ago he used to use a special device to speak, but now he's very clear in his words. He would find whoever put his brother out of commission and make them suffer, in eternal damnation. From there, GM Teddy Long set up a Battle Royal involving every member of the Smackdown roster, except the guys who will be in the Fatal 4-Way World Title PPV match (Swagger, Punk, Big Show). Rey Mysterio won it, eliminating the final opponent, Kane.





Of course the question on your mind might be is Undertaker really dead? Can a Deadman die? Has he returned from death before? Most certainly. The true explanation for Undertaker's "disappearing act" just one week after returning to Smackdown is due to injuries. According to Wrestling Observer, in Taker's Fatal 4-Way qualifying match against Rey Mysterio last Friday, TheUndertaker suffered a broken orbital bone, broken nose and concussion.


That was enough to put him out of action and require time away from the WWE ring and the Fatal 4-Way Pay-Per-View. I don't believe he is dead with WWE though, because it would be a very, very strange way to end a legendary career. As for who's behind the attack, why not throw us the usual curve ball, WWE style, and make it his brother Kane, although we've seen these two in feuds many, many times before.

Hulk Hogan Dead

hulk hogan deadLatest News Update About Hulk Hogan Dead: There have been several rumors that Hulk Hogan Died today. Earlier today, a rumour began stating that Hulk Hogan? had drowned. But the person who started the rumour seemed to forgotten one thing that has been shoved down our throats for 30 years. Hulk Hogan is Immortal. Dixie Carter just posted the following on her Twitter… "HULK HOGAN IS ALIVE AND WELL. He did not drown. Not sure how these rumors get started. Awful."





After all, Hulk Hogan has been everywhere and done everything in pro-wrestling. He was the face of professional wrestling in the 80s, stayed prominent in the 90s, finally left in the 00s, but has came back in the last 9 months to once more spread the Hulkamania germ.


Regardless of everyone's opinion of Hulk Hogan, he has been here through it all and today could of been a sad day in pro wrestling. But, thankfully, all is ok and as long as Hogan still has a breathe in him the Hulkamania germ will be more deadly than the Spanish Flu.

Japan League Cup

Japan League CupLatest News Update About Japan League Cup : Some interesting quotes from Signor Zaccheroni on his unveiling by the JFA… "The games we have coming up against Paraguay and Guatemala are very important and we need to start thinking about the Asian Cup straight away. Of course there is not much time, so as of yesterday the preparation has begun. It's not just the games that are important, but watching the team training and speaking to the players as well.


"We have to aim for the top three at the Asian Cup. Japan is a country that can hold its own on the world stage, so we have to show that in Asia as well."


Great to hear that he's putting such emphasis on the Asian Cup right away. I know that it's not a big tournament by world standards, but as he says it's vital that Japan continues to show itself at or near the top of the Asian game, particularly after the World Cup performance.


"First of all you need to have good, open communication in the team. I'm not the type of manager who tells the players to shut up and listen. That's not my style. It's important to talk things through as you go along, and in this way you can create a good spirit in the team.


"Of course skill and technique are very important, but I'm not worried about the physical level of the players. The mentality and communication are the most important things."





This may be a boost to some of the Euro players who will be well used to voicing their opinions to the management.


"I have worked with clubs for the last 25 years and I have won Serie A, which I think is the hardest league to manage in. I worked for a long time in Italy and I wanted to broaden my experiences by taking charge of a national team. I believe that the Japan team has a lot of potential and it has come a long way in a short space of time.


"This is something that I really wanted to do, and something that I thrive on. Recently a lot of Italian managers have gone abroad, and it is a real challenge for me to become the first Italian to take charge of the Japan national team."


"The team, rather than individuals, left a big impression on me. It is a very compact team and everyone works hard for each other. I have to thank Okada for doing such a good job and laying the backbone of the side.


"I like my teams to have balance. You need both an attacking base and a defensive base. If you don't play well, you don't get results. If you play well sometimes you don't get results, but generally you do."


Encouraging stuff I think.


He'll be watching from the stands for the couple of games coming up, but I would imagine he'll have a bit of a say on tactics and formations but it will also give him a good opportunity to meet the players and see them in training and in a match.


But I'm looking forward to the Argentina match in October, but possibly more so the South Korea match which should give a better indication of where Japan is heading in Asian terms ahead of January's Asian party.

One Bitten, Twice Shy; HI Announce Rs 50k For Each Player

New Delhi: In a prompt reaction to protest launched by India's women hockey team over non-payment of dues, Hockey India, game’s interim national body, sanctioned a sum of Rs 50,000 to each member of the team with an immediate effect. In addition, the apparently cash starved body also announced that the players would be receiving an additional Rs 50,000.





More windfall awaits players as the Hockey India announced that they have also request the government to further give each player Rs 1 lakh.


Barely had dust settled over a week long tussle between the men's hockey team and Hockey India, that culminated with players' demands being met, followed by the resignation of AK Mattoo as the body's President, women’s hockey team had launched its protest on Wednesday.


Though the players did not boycott the camp, unlike their male counterparts, they sported black arm-bands during practice on Thursday as a mark of protest.


The women team had supported the men in their protest wholeheartedly, only to be later told there was no money to clear their dues.


For the time being though, Hockey India seems to have escaped another crisis as it braces for the election on Feb 6.

Brian Cushing

Brian CushingBrian Cushing, One of the longest standing rumors in football circles was finally confirmed on Friday evening. Adam Schefter reported that Houston Texans linebacker and reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Brian Cushing has been suspended the first four games of the season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Making matters worse for Cushing is his appeal was already denied by the NFL. As Pro Football Talk points out, Cushing joins Shawne Merriman and Julius Peppers as the third Defensive Rookie of the Year to be busted for steroids in the last eight years.





As far back as high school, Cushing was rumored to be a steroids user. Cushing went on to star at USC despite being limited by shoulder and ankle injuries at various points in his career. Then around draft time in 2009, a report said both Cushing and fellow USC linebacker Clay Matthews tested positive for steroids at the combine. That report turned out to be false. Now, we have confirmation that Cushing has used steroids. Whether he's been escaping positive tests for years and just now was finally caught or if he just began using we don't know. We do know that one of the longest standing rumors in football circles has finally been confirmed: Brian Cushing is a steroids user. Maybe some of the teams that passed him up in the draft are saying "told you so."

South Korea Vs Greece

South Korea Vs GreeceSouth Korea Vs Greece, World Cup Live Stream: South Korea, one of the most successful international football teams in Asia, will be looking for its first win at the 2010 FIFA World Cup this afternoon when it meets Greece in the opening match in Group B. The East Asians are in the same group with Argentina, Nigeria and Greece.


South Korea has qualified for its eighth World Cup final tournament and became the first and only Asian team to reach the semi-finals, doing so when it co-hosted the 2002 World Cup with Japan. Greece, meanwhile, has not featured in the tournament since its debut appearance in 1994, when they endured a dreadful campaign in the United States.


Coach Huh Jung-Moo has been working on ways to overturn their opponents' height advantage ahead of the clash at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. With their tall players, the 2004 European champions can minimize their risk and try to score from dead-ball situations.





The Koreans are likely to go for the 4-4-2 formation, with Manchester United's Park Ji-Sung holding a key midfield role. Bolton Wanderers' Lee Chung-Yong is expected to join Park at the heart of the pitch, who would try to exploit Sotiros Kyrgiakos, who drew criticism for his awkward performances in central defense for Liverpool this season.


"We can't say that we are stronger than Greece but based on our performance so far, we are good enough to be the winners," the Korea Times quoted team captain Park as saying.


Although this will be the first time these two teams have met at the World Cup, there have been two previous friendly encounters between the two nations. The Tigers of Asia defeated the Europeans 1-0 in 2007, following 1-1 stalemate in 2006.


"Countries like South Korea have great team spirit and plenty of passion," Greek coach Otto Rehhagel, told reporters. "[But] We have no reason to fear South Korea and we won't disappoint the Greek people."


The match kicks-off at 13:30 local time (7:30 a.m. ET).


UPDATE: South Korea defeated Greece 2-0 in the Group B opener, thanks to goals from Kashima Antlers' Lee Jung-Soo and Manchester United's Park Ji-Sung.

Deutsche Bank Championship

Deutsche Bank ChampionshipDeutsche Bank Championship, Mikel Arteta will not be allowed to play for England after Fifa brought to light a ruling which states that Arteta would need to have held dual nationality when he represented Spain at Under 16 and Under 17 levels. England manager Fabio Capello is believed to have approached the Everton midfielder about the prospect of playing for England. However, this ruling has now put an end to any possibility.


England play Bulgaria at Wembley on Friday night in the first match of their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign. Skybet make the home side the 3/10 favourites with Bulgaria available to back at 10/1 and the draw at 3/1.





In golf, tomorrow sees the start of the second FedEx Cup event, the Deutsche Bank Championship. After his 12th place finish at The Barclays Tiger Woods once again appears to be clawing his way back to form. Last week's result means he is a justified favourite this week at odds of 8.6 on Betfair.


Perhaps more important than the Deutsche Bank itself is the naming of the US Ryder Cup wildcard picks by Corey Pavin following the conclusion of the event. Woods' return to form is expected to have solidified his inclusion in the October event, if indeed there had ever been any doubt in Pavin's mind, leaving just two places up for grabs. Names battling it out to impress the US captain include Anthony Kim, Zach Johnson, Stewart Cink, Sean O'Hair and Nick Watney.


And finally, Kevin Pietersen made 38 on his Surrey debut last night as the Surrey Lions lost by 90 runs to Worcestershire. Surrey were set a mammoth 377 to win from just 40 overs but despite a blistering start from Rory Hamilton-Brown and Pietersen wickets tumbling at regular intervals meant they couldn't get close.

Penn State Football Schedule

Penn State Football SchedulePenn State Football Schedule New update about 2010: Penn State Football schedule for 2010 may be historic. Many fear that the Penn State football schedule in 2010, Joe Paterno in the past, although it probably will not be clear only after the Penn State football schedule ends.

It all depends on how well Paterno holds this year, and how well the Nittany Lions fare on the field. According to the majority, it will be the same as many others in recent times, with a team of only slight control of the New Year's Day bowl game. If they want more, the Penn State football schedule for 2010 have not made it easy for them.


45?th season career, Paterno, Nittany Lion in the coaching begins today, is relatively easy matchup. 19?th place Nittany Lions face Youngstown State, which is unable to FCS, it was. However, they need this game to get momentum for next week.





Big question mark on Penn State football schedule for 2010 is marked on the following Saturday evening, and the Nittany Lions traveling to ? 1, defending champion Alabama. Despite the top-20 preseason ranking, it will be a challenge to win the Champions on the road, in the long and difficult for them to do.


If they find a way, however, is Penn State football schedule for 2010 may be different. He should be with the situation fluid defender following the departure of Darryl Clark. Now, freshman Robert Bolden is dealing with two backup sophomores waiting in the wings.


After the game, Alabama, Penn State football schedule for 2010 has the usual muffins until the end of September. Nittany Lions host MAC teams Kent State and Temple, to the Big Ten slate is in full swing. The right way, they get an early diagnosis as they go to Iowa, which had their number in the last few years.


Then the Nittany Lions should be preferred against Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan and Northwestern. Last season comes to a big opening on November 13 as they visit Ohio. By that time, Buckeyes could be on the verge of BCS title game � but it could Nittany Lions, if they pulled upsets on the road.

Shoaib Malik Ayesha Siddiqui

MUMBAI: Sania Mirza's cricketing fiance Shoaib Malik appears to be in a double-whammy dock. First, Shoaib is facing ban for his disappointing role and performance in the recent Australian tour. Second, news has emerged that Ayesha Siddiqui, who claims to beShoaib Malik's first wife has thrown a bouncer at the dashing Pakistani former cricket captain.


Ayesha's father, Mohammed Ahmed Siddiqui has threatened to sue Shoaib if he does not divorce his daughter. "I want divorce for my daughter. According to Islamic law, my daughter cannot remarry if she doesn't have the divorce paper," he said in an interview to an Indian news channel. He also said that Sania Mirza will be Shoaib's second wife.


The Siddiqui family is said to be in a state of shock over the reports of Shoaib and Sania marriage in April.





Mohammed Ahmed Siddiqui claimed in February 2008 that Shoaib had married his daughter in June 2002 through a telephonic nikah after having an online affair.However, Shoaib claims that he was only engaged to her and the marriage was called off because of problems between the families.


If sources are to be believed, Ayesha met Shoaib in a Dubai restaurant in 2001 along with her friend, Maha. While Ayesha is a little plump, Maha was pretty and Shoaib fell for her. On returning to Hyderabad, Ayesha, posing as Maha, started chatting with Shoaib.


Ayesha apparently fell in love with the cricketer and convinced her parents to contact his parents and arrange for a telephonic nikah. (See photo left of Shoaib and Ayesha courtesy Hindustan Times).


In 2005, when the Pakistan cricket team was in Hyderabad, the Siddiquis hosted a reception for the cricket team. A website quotes a source as saying, "Shoaib became suspicious when he expressed his desire to meet Ayesha and her parents said she was out of town."


Ayesha was reportedly working as a school teacher in Dubai and apparently sent her actual photograph to Shoaib. This made the player snap all ties with her. He said the Siddiquis he had been duped.

India Vs Australia

<a href='http://india-news-show.blogspot.com/' target='_blank' class='infotextkey'>India</a> Vs AustraliaIndia Vs Australia, Watch India vs Australia Live streaming highlights T20 world cup 2010.Australia and India are the two favourites to win the tournament

Match Facts

Friday, May 7, Bridgetown

Start time 0930 (1330 GMT)

The Big Picture


India Vs Australia, If you trust the bookmakers � and in the unpredictable Twenty20 format that is quite a risk � Australia and India are the two favourites to win the tournament. They both came through the pool stage undefeated, along with West Indies and New Zealand, and for whoever loses this game the campaign is far from over. But it will provide a very interesting form guide, considering the final will be played at this venue.

India have had a week off following their double-header in St Lucia, while Australia have been given a taste of the quicker conditions in Barbados during their victory over Bangladesh on Wednesday. It could give Michael Clarke's men a slight advantage and their pace trio of Dirk Nannes, Shaun Tait and either Mitchell Johnson or Ryan Harris should be fired up against the stronger opposition.


They find themselves facing an outfit that includes Suresh Raina, who has just become one of four century-makers in Twenty20 internationals, and men like Harbhajan Singh and Gautam Gambhir, who often seem to lift against Australia. Whichever team escapes with the points from this game will take a big confidence boost, while the loser will hope to turn things around against Sri Lanka and West Indies to find a way through to the semi-finals.


Form guide (most recent first)

Australia: WWTWW

India: WWWLL

Watch out for…

It was Dirk Nannes who did the most damage against Bangladesh, but Shaun Tait is an equally frightening prospect on a Kensington Oval pitch with some speed. He cracked the 160kph barrier during the Australian summer and is always a threat in the short, sharp spells favoured by Twenty20 captains.


Yuvraj Singh has made useful contributions in both matches so far, without on either occasion being the star. His power is without question and he enjoys playing Australia: in his two Twenty20s against them he has made a combined 101 runs from 55 balls.


Team news

After two comfortable victories, don't expect Australia to make any changes unless Mitchell Johnson is available. Johnson missed the Bangladesh game with an infection in his right elbow and should replace Ryan Harris if he comes in. "He was certainly improving this morning," Michael Clarke said after Wednesday's game. "Mitch is a huge part of our team with both bat and ball, hopefully he is fit."


Australia (probable) 1 David Warner, 2 Shane Watson, 3 Michael Clarke (capt), 4 Brad Haddin (wk), 5 David Hussey, 6 Cameron White, 7 Michael Hussey, 8 Steven Smith, 9 Mitchell Johnson/Ryan Harris, 10 Dirk Nannes, 11 Shaun Tait.


The opener Gambhir says he is feeling fit and strong after recovering from a groin injury and is in line to replace Dinesh Karthik. Praveen Kumar has flown home and Vinay Kumar is a chance to make his debut, with the replacement Umesh Yadav leaving for the Caribbean on Friday.


India (possible) 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 M Vijay, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni (capt, wk), 6 Yusuf Pathan, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Vinay Kumar, 10 Piyush Chawla, 11 Ashish Nehra.


Pitch and conditions

The Barbados pitch has been more fun for the fast men and harder work for the batsmen. In the opening four games there the scores have been modest: 141, 114, 139, 80, 147, 151, 170 and 157. The forecast is for scattered showers and a top of 33C.

Stats and trivia

The teams have met in three Twenty20 internationals for two wins to India and one to Australia

They last faced each other in February 2008, and such has been the change in Australia's Twenty20 team since then that only Michael Clarke and the Hussey brothers remain from that side

At the close of the pool stage, Dirk Nannes was the leading wicket taker in the tournament, with seven at 8.42

Quotes

"These conditions are really going to help our fast bowlers. There was a lot of pace and bounce in that wicket."

The Barbados pitch excites Michael Clarke


"There is not much difference between the three sides as in T20 every team looks to attack. Everybody would like to win the title. So the competition is going to be stiff."

Sri Lanka-England Face Off Today

Sir Lanka-England Face Off TodayGROS ISLET, ST LUCIA: Kevin Pietersen will be hellbent to ensure that the first game his newborn son witnesses has the KP trademark stamped on it. The out lander has single-handedly taken England to the semi-finals and after missing the last game, he will be back to take the juggernaut further in the ICC World T20 Championships.


Pietersen will be up against a buoyant Sri Lankan outfit, who blighted India ruthlessly in their previous game.


Kumar Sangakkara’s men have been one of the most impressive sides in the tournament and barring their match against Australia, have played the perfect game. Their batting has been outstanding with the classy Mahela Jayawardene leading the pack.


Jayawardene’s sublime form coupled with players like Sangakkara, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Angelo Mathews and Chamara Kapugedera makes them a formidable batting unit.


The slow St Lucia pitch will suit Sri Lanka’s slow bowlers. Though Muttiah Muralitharan will be missed, young Suraj Randiv has risen in the ranks and is making giant strides. Randiv troubled the Aussies and will be one of the key players England have to watch out for on Thursday. He will also be crucial in Keeping the in-form Eoin Morgan and Luke Wright in check during the middle overs.


To tackle Sri Lanka’s batting, England will turn to tweakers Graeme Swann and Michael Yardy, who have been terrific so far. But against strong players of spin like Jayawardene, Sangakkara and Dilshan, this will be the duo’s toughest test.


England’s most experienced bowler Ryan Sidebottom will have the responsibility of taking care of Jayawardene and Co. early in the innings. On the other hand, Sri Lanka would look to take early control by picking on Sidebottom.





Another lip-smacking contest will be between Pietersen and Lasith Malinga. Pietersen annihilated Dale Steyn and he will target Malinga as well to break the back of the Lankan bowling.


The Lankan spearhead will look to send the champion batsman as soon as possible, in view of the destruction he caused against South Africa in a short span of time. Sangakkara has to be careful in rotating bowlers with Pietersen in the middle as apart from Malinga, they lack experience and Pietersen can make them bleed.


But for England it has not only been about Pietersen. Michael Lumb and Craig Kieswetter have finally sorted out England’s batting woes while Morgan and Wright have been the perfect finishers for them. Morgan has already won them two games on his own and is the ideal man to take over from Pietersen. Paul Collingwood’s low scores will be a worry but count the England skipper to come good in a crunch rubber.


The game promises to be a cracker with strong Lankans taking on a side that has suddenly found new vigour. It will be a battle of aggression against wit when Pietersen’s flamboyance clashes with Sangakkara’s accumen.


Teams


England (probable) 1 Michael Lumb, 2 Craig Kieswetter, 3 Ravi Bopara, 4 Paul Collingwood, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Luke Wright, 7 Tim Bresnan, 8 Graeme Swann, 9 Michael Yardy, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 Ryan Sidebottom.


Sri Lanka have been far less settled through the tournament so far. Mendis missed out against India but could return for an England side less used to him.


Sri Lanka (probable) 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2 Mahela Jayawardene, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt, wk), 4 Dinesh Chandimal, 5 Angelo Mathews, 6 Sanath Jayasuriya, 7 Chamara Kapugedera, 8 Suraj Randiv, 9 Ajantha Mendis, 10 Lasith Malinga, 11 Chanaka Welegedera.


Pitch and conditions


England may have adapted well to the conditions against New Zealand in their last game, but the slow and low surface in St Lucia will suit Sri Lanka. Their batsmen proved a touch shy of the pace and bounce in Barbados but will be much more comfortable here.

Aon Hewitt

Aon Hewitt, Aon Corp.'s deal to buy human-resource consulting and outsourcing firm Hewitt Associates Inc. for about $4.9 billion is the latest sign that consolidation is heating up in the consulting industry.

In recent weeks, merger chatter has swirled around midsize management consulting firms A.T. Kearney Inc. and Booz & Co., as well as big Fish-in-Water-Belt-Buckle-246.html' target='_blank' class='infotextkey'>fish Deloitte.


A.T. Kearney and Booz were flirting with each other about a possible tie-up, but said last week they had called off the talks. Partners at Booz weren't especially enthusiastic about the deal, the Journal reported.





Deloitte LLP CEO Barry Salzberg recently said he's on the hunt for acquisitions in order to beef up as the business climate improves, he told the Journal at the end of June.


Deloitte last year bought most of the North American government consulting practice of BearingPoint out of bankruptcy for about $350 million. Mr. Salzberg declined to name specific future targets, but said he sees opportunities to build scale in areas including environmental and technology consulting.

ICC suspends Butt, Aamir, Asif

ICC suspends Butt, Aamir, AsifLatest News Updates ICC suspends Butt, Aamir, Asif, The International Cricket Council (ICC) charged three Pakistan stars accused in a betting scam with anti-corruption offences and provisionally suspended them, as the trio protested their innocence. According to details, ICC said Test captain Salman Butt and fast bowlers Mohammad Aamir and Mohammad Asif were barred from taking part in all cricket matches with immediate effect, although they can appeal the suspension.





The ICC said it had charged the three stars with offenses under its anti-corruption code and they had been provisionally suspended pending a decision on those charges.

"We will not tolerate corruption in cricket � simple as that," said ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat. Pakistan's ambassador to Britain Wajid Shamsul Hasan reiterated that the players are innocent until proven guilty. He informed after meeting the trio that they had asked to miss the rest of the team's tour of England because of the scandal, but said he believed their insistence that they were innocent. Asked later if he believed the trio were innocent, Hasan replied: "Yes, I believe in their innocence."


Players temporarily suspended: Shaharyar Khan

Former chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Shaharyar Khan, while talking to Dunya News, said that ICC has temporarily suspended the trio and added that they would be given a chance to defend themselves.

Elaborating the cases on the cricketers, Khan said that 'There is a difference between criminal and civil cases and the players' petitions come under civil cases'. He said 'we should also conduct an inquiry and probe the matter in view of all the available evidence'.

Team-Mates Were Trying To Fix Almost Every Match: Yasir Hameed

Team-Mates Were Trying To Fix Almost Every match: Yasir HameedSports News: The News of the World newspaper has once again alleged Pak Cricket team of Match fixing. In the latest twist to the controversy that has shaken cricket, the paper says star Pakistani opener Yasir Hameed has claimed that some of his colleagues were regularly cheating.

An exclusive video of Yasir Hameed's conversation has been released by the newspaper.

Yasir Hameed is quoted as saying: “It makes me angry because I’m playing my best and they are trying to lose.”

Yasir Hameed, has issued a denial of allegations in the News of the World that he turned down a bookmaker’s offer to help fix a Test for £100,000.

Yasir further quoted “almost every match” has been fixed and slammed his team-mates’ actions. “They’ve been caught. Only the ones that get caught are branded crooks,” he reportedly told the newspaper. “They were doing it [fixing] in almost every match.

“God knows what they were up to. Scotland Yard was after them for ages,” he was quoted as saying. “It makes me angry because I’m playing my best and they are trying to lose.”

Earlier during the night while speaking to Dunya News Yasir Hameed has denied all claims made by the newspaper and refused that he had any conversation to the newspaper.

“I have never spoken to the NOTW and I haven’t said anything like this,” he said. “I have been fully concentrating on my career and nothing else,” he said.

Bank of America Website Down

Bank of America’s (BAC) main Web site was out of order for most of Friday, that affected an unknown number of customers but had ruled out a cyberattack, a representative said.


“Our online-banking service is available,” spokeswoman Anne Pace said in a telephone interview on Friday afternoon. “We ruled out a cyberattack, but are working with partners to determine the root cause.”





Bank of America Corp., one of the nation’s biggest banks, said it is trying to determine what is wrong with the Web site.


“Bank of America’s online banking service is available; however, some customers are having intermittent issues with access. We are determine the root cause” a spokeswoman said in a statement.

Jason Miller

Jason Miller, Strikeforce, Jake Shields, Jason Mayhem Miller, Bully Beatdown I don't fault Strikeforce for the brawl and honestly I think it's unfair to fault Miller.? Miller went in to the cage and did some "thunder stealing" yes.? But when the repercussion for that became gang assualt I am not sure.? Did we see Matt Hughes' boys jump Georges St. Pierre for stating that he was "not impressed by his performance?"





I entirely hope that we see the Cesar Gracie camp members involved in the attack charged with assault and forced to own up to their behavior in court.? I also would like to see both Diaz brothers, Gilbert Melendez and anyone else involved with the assault suffer a massive suspension.? Anything under one year would be too little in my eyes.


When you watch the video there are multiple men attacking one man for asking "when do I get my rematch."? That's it, not any physical act provoking it, simply words.? Then we see members of the camp stomping on a man who is engaged and held down by other fighters.? This is no different from any sort of gang assault you would see on the streets, and the fact that talented fighters were involved should not lessen the actions taken against these men.

Rod Carew

Rod CarewRod Carew will be signing at a card show on September 25th. I would love to add a Carew autograph to my collection but the price for his autograph seems a little steep. $125 for bats and jerseys and $65 for everything else. The price includes 1 inscription, additional inscriptions are $20 each. If I get his autograph it would be on a ball and I would limit myself to 1 inscription, so it would cost me $65. Is a Rod Carew autograph worth $65? Don’t get me wrong, Rod Carew won the Rookie of the Year award in 1967, AL MVP in 1977, was an 18 time All-Star, won 7 batting titles, is a member of the 3000 hit club and was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. I get it, but $65 just seems like a lot to me. Maybe I am just cheap, I don’t know. I’m still up in the air on whether or not I am going to get his autograph at the show or not. I can pick up plently of his certified autographed cards on eBay for a heck of a lot less than $65. What are your thoughts?

Mavericks Surf Contest 2010


Big crowds will come to the California coast from all over the world to see the biggest waves of the year on Saturday ― not to mention the surfers who ride them. Tonic takes a look at who’s keeping an eye on protecting the environment that makes it all possible.


The swell starts in the North Pacific, in the open-ocean storms of winter, and travels thousands of miles toward the California coast. As it approaches Half Moon Bay’s Pillar Point, it flares from the deep underwater valley ― pitching up into a vertical monster as it rolls across the reef, becomes a cantilevered arc, and then crashes its heavy volume of water just a few feet from the rocks.


The Mavericks big-wave break, called a “voodoo wave” by Surfer magazine in 1992, brings surfers and onlookers from all over the world. During the winter, when conditions are right, it can reach 60 feet ― and there’s even a claim that Nov. 21, 2001, was a “100-foot Wednesday.” The break inspires awe: massive waves, dangerous rocks, shallow reef, strong currents and frigid water.


Mavericks Surf ContestWell, big-wave fans: The time has come! The conditions are ripe, and 24 of the world’s best surfers voted on Thursday to hold the annual Mavericks Surf Competition this Saturday (Feb. 13). The fun kicks off at 8 a.m., and will be webcast on the Mavericks website, as well as on Ustream and Facebook.


Crowd Control


The area around Half Moon Bay itself is a rich habitat for land and marine life. The waters of Mavericks are in a National Marine Sanctuary. Nearby is the home of the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and protected lands of the San Mateo County Department of Parks. With a heavy flow of human traffic to watch the wave when it appears, plus crowds reaching nearly 37,000 for the Mavericks Surf Contest, how is it possible to both protect the local environment and let excited onlookers come to see the waves?


Mavericks is a half-mile off the coast, so it’s difficult to see from the nearest beach. The best vantage points on land are from the 75-foot bluffs of Pillar Point itself, and visitors crowd the beach as well as the cliff edges to catch a glimpse of the monster break.


“The biggest impact here I see is nature,” said Jeff Clark, on a morning walk out to Pillar Point. Clark is the original Mavericks surfer, who rode the wave alone for 15 years, before the larger surfing community became aware of the spot. He’s the owner of Mavericks Surf Shop and the original founder of the annual Mavericks surf contest. “The negative impact comes from the ocean ― the erosion. People don’t even amount to 1 percent of it,” he said. A walk along the beach illustrates his point. Huge piles of rocky debris lie at the foot of the cliffs-the result of rain, wind and waves.





According to Scott Lombardi, park ranger for the San Mateo County Department of Parks, the different groups “work together to make sure the area is protected.” On contest day, on-duty park employees work to protect the environment and habitat along the bluffs from the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve to Pillar Point, as well as a nearby marsh. The first priority is public safety, and signs are posted telling people to stay back from the cliff edges. “The last thing we want is for someone to lean out for a better view of Mavericks, only to fall,” said Lombardi. It’s also a great opportunity to educate visitors about the local environment.


Katherine Clark, co-director of the Mavericks Surf Contest, makes sure that the environment is a major consideration in the planning of the contest details. “This has been a passion for me from day one,” she said. “We use biodegradable materials with the contest and make sure that recycling centers are set up where crowds gather. Our volunteers secure the tide pools and clean up the beach, even returning the next morning to make sure they’ve gone over the area with a fine-tooth comb. When we leave, the beach looks even better than when we got there.”


Over the years, the Mavericks Surf Contest has made it easier for curious viewers to watch, even if they don’t come to Half Moon Bay. People in the San Francisco Bay Area can flock to AT&T Park on the day of the contest, to view it on the big screen. And folks from just about anywhere with an Internet connection can catch the webcast on the contest’s official site. Both options may have an effect on keeping the on-site crowds lower, and lessen the impact on the nearby environment.


“These are protected waters,” advised Mary Jane Schramm, media and public outreach specialist for Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary ― the agency that administers Mavericks’ waters. The organization’s main priority is keeping marine life (from the smallest tide pool creatures to sea otters, harbor seals and whales) from potential disturbance. That includes restricting the use of Jet Skis near Mavericks to a certain zone, open only during High Surf Warnings from December through February. On contest day, that use is further restricted: permit only. “We love that nature can deliver such a magnificent performance. But the area is fragile, too, and we want to make sure people remember that,” said Schramm.


That shouldn’t be a problem, as long as the groups continue to work together, allowing people to enjoy the spectacle, while minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment. “Come on out and see it. It’s incredible. But leave it like you found it ― or better,” said Jeff Clark.
