| Pragmatic approach can cut the Mustard
Matt Prior, having initially looked the long-term solution, has been dropped from the Test and one-day squads after a disappointing tour to Sri Lanka behind the stumps. As the thorny wicketkeeping dilemma continues to trouble the finest minds in English cricket, Phil Mustard, who arrived in New Zealand yesterday with England’s one-day squad, thinks that he may have the answers. Keeping wicket? "It’s nothing too technical, all you have to do is catch the ball," he says. And the batting? "If I see it, I hit it." These straightforward remarks should not be seen as mere oversimplification, rather the attempt of a gifted ball-player to keep his mind free of the technical jargon that can threaten a natural talent. "I do analyse my game but I don’t look into it too deeply," he said.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Chingy Gets Mad! Is Lauryn Broke? Where is Wendy ...
You know, where Wendy goes, the people go. I am pleased to announced that according to what I know, Wendy and C are going to be landing in Los Angeles later this month. That's what Beyonce calls a good look better yet a hood look.
LAURYN BROKE?
Damn, damn, damn! Laurun is possibly broke? Yes, says sources at Fox News
Sources say Hill was living in the Caribbean for a while as the mother of four children by Rohan Marley, son of the late Bob Marley. But now, insiders say, Hill is living in New Jersey with her mother — and the four kids — and may be in significant debt. Her only big solo hit album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," was released 10 years ago, if you can believe it.
MPs squeeze science back onto select committee list
He conceded the new committee would not have the single-minded scientific focus of the old committee. At the same time, he said, the committee had been given a 50 per cent increase in resources, compared to the Sci/Tech committee, to help it cover its wider brief. He said that the new committee had 14 members, where the old committee had 11. Of the 14, eight are veterans of the Sci/Tech committee, and Willis said that as chairman, he would have to "guard against" the committee being overly focused on science issues - at the expense, presumably, of the crucial issues and problems faced by media studies lecturers in the former Polytechnics. The name change will need a motion in the house, but this should happen within two weeks. ® 16 comments posted — Post a new comment .
We're looking for inspiration here
We need to make some serious changes in this country and Kucinich appears to me to be the only one who actually would bring it home. I read Noam Chomsky from time to time and something he said strikes a chord every time the "candidates" are mentioned: Corporate media simply ignore anything or anyone who threatens the status quo. Kucinich would cut out the fat cats who pay themselves handsomely at the expense of every U.S. consumer. Executive payload appears to have no limit, reaching as high as $1.7 billion for one year. If we want to affect any real change we need a candidate who isn't money-bit, who is not backed by big-money lobbyists, not endorsed by big corporations, not "brought to you" by special interests who would privatize everything we own collectively and sell it back to us for profit -- the same people who ship U.S.
Hosts Ghana edge Namibia to go top of Group A
West Ham United right back John Pantsil, who was flown to Nigeria on Wednesday for a scan after suffering concussion against Guinea, was a surprise starter, which allowed Claude Le Roy to name the same line up for the second consecutive match. Namibia made three changes, with Dutchman Schans switching goalkeepers after Monday's 5-1 drubbing, Abisai Shiningayamwe making way for Athiel Mbaha. Ghana, marshalled by Essien in midfield, made clear their intent from the whistle, taking up permanent residence in the Brave Warriors' territory yet the underdogs kept them at bay for the first 30 minutes. Given that they were 4-0 down by the break against Morocco, the goalless scoreline up to the 40th minute spoke volumes for Namibia's newfound resilience. The Group A underdogs were fortunate to be let off though when Udinese striker Asamoah Gyan hit the ball over Mbaha's bar from 6m out.

Memo to Giants: Shut your Big Blue mouths before the Super Bowl!
When the Giants take off for Arizona Monday, someone should hand each player a card containing five things not to say when speaking to the SRO crowd of notebooks and microphones. 1)Don't guarantee anything. 2)Don't say the Patriots cheated. 3)Don't say the Patriots "really aren't" that good. 4)Don't say our road to the Super Bowl was tougher than theirs. 5)Don't say our receiving corps is as good as theirs. Oh, Plaxico Burress already said that. In the media spotlight, the Giants, under the direction of Tom Coughlin, have done a good job of staying focused throughout this playoff run. The bulbs start getting brighter Monday. The chances of any real news coming out of a Super Bowl site are always slim.
