Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Vice President Lalit Modi said on Thursday that Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar cannot participate in Indian Premier League (IPL) until the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lifts the five-year ban on him.Shoaib has been banned by the Pakistan Cricket Board, and even though they have cleared him to play for IPL, we felt that international discipline needs to be respected,” IS Bindra, a member of the IPL governing council, told Cricinfo.“If he can’t play for Pakistan, how can we play him? There will be no discipline left in the game, if we play him. It will set an unwanted precedent. We [the IPL] want to be part of the international system, not operate outside it. If somebody is banned on disciplinary grounds, that is a serious offence, and w

Posted at March 24th, 2008 8:29 amJust when you thought she might crawl back under the slimy rock from whence she came, Heather Mills’ divorce battle with Paul McCartney may erupt again. The legendary gold digger plans to return to court in a bid to get the gag order lifted on her case, according to the UK’s Daily Star. If she succeeds, Mills, dubbed Mucca because of her porn past, will make millions in media deals, on top of the tens of millions in gold she’s already dug. She was evidently left reeling by Mr. Justice Bennett’s judgment last week, in which he branded her a “fantasist” who “wholly exaggerated” the extent of her personal wealth before she met Sir Paul McCartney, 65. Heather Mills‘ lawyer yesterday described the judge’s 58-page verdict as a “prolonged

While the report is considered less important than the Labor Department’s measure of job growth, which will be released tomorrow, the strong number took many in the market by surprise. “That came out of left field, huh?” said Joshua Shapiro, chief United States economist at the research firm MFR. Economists had expected a gain of about 70,000 jobs for November. “It’s not a dead lock that we’re going to get a good payroll number, but it certainly caused me to raise my estimates.” The government’s report on November employment will be the last piece of important data before the Fed meets on Tuesday, when policy makers are expected to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point. Fed officials have hinted that they are open to lowering rates to help avert a recession, but a sign of underlying strength — like a big gain in jobs — could persuade them to take a less aggressive stance. “The economy might prove more resilient than a lot of the doomsayers have been sayin

Carol at The Bible Thumper’s Soapbox is such a dear — she has just awarded me the “Lift Him Up” award for my blog, wow! Thank you very much, Carol, for deeming my blog worthy to receive an award that rewards “… blogs who focus on the Word of God and practical application. These are bloggers who are open and speak honestly about their concerns and/or struggles, who gives us food for thought using Scriptures, and who have a Biblical world view. Their blogs focus on Christ and His perfect, infallible Word.” Here are some of the blogs I visit often and definitely deserve the award too for their honesty in sharing their lives and how the Lord Jesus Christ works in their lives: Michael Moore at Living Water for Those Who Thirst.

New-found optimism over the health of the economy and the recovery from an oil pipeline blast stoked buying, but natural gas and oil services shares were little changed even after a refining margin upgrade at Bank of America. The Amex Oil Index (XOI:1,429.64, +13.80, +1.0%) rose 1% to end at 1,430 points. Repsol SA (REP:36.87, +0.30, +0.8%) added less than 1% at $36.87, Valero (VLO:65.10, +1.37, +2.2%) jumped 2.2% to close at $65.10 and Hess Oil (HES:71.22, +1.66, +2.4%) tacked on 2.4% to $71.22.

 Wrenches! How long has it been just another dull tool in the toolbox? Its either chrome or black and there’s no vogue in owning a set, yet every household has one. So god knows just how grateful we are when PB Swisstools came out with the Rainbow Colored Hex Key Set. The special ball end has a 30 degrees turning angle, enabling you to twist and turn at comfortable positions and reaching hard ends without breaking screw contact, or your neck. The PB Rainbow Hex Keys is made from special PB steel that permits excellent toughness and elastic qualities, minimizes wear and tear, and will deform elastically before breaking, giving you a fair advantage if you want to plan an escape. The hex keys are not only colored to lighten up a mechanic’s day, but for fast and highly assisting identification as well, the darker the color the larger the key size and it comes with elongated versions for easy handling.

Domenica ho visto Ratatouille, il nuovo film Disney-Pixar. Tralasciando l'aspetto della trama, che ovviamente è pensata per un pubblico molto più giovane di me, quello che lascia sbalorditi è la qualità della grafica.In generale tutti i film Pixar sono un piacere per gli occhi, vederli fa bene alla vista, ma in questo ci sono dei particolari e dei dettagli che sono veramente impressionanti. Comunque la parte che più mi è piaciuta di tutto il film (e non lo dico con "cattiveria") è stata il cortometraggio iniziale, che spesso accompagna e anticipa la proiezione dei film Pixar.Il nuovo "corto" si chiama Lifted (titolo originale), da noi arriva con il titolo "Gli alieni non sbagliano mai" (lascio da parte ogni considerazione sulle traduzioni italiane dei titoli dei film stranieri).L'idea è semplicemente geniale e dannatamente divertente, gustatevelo.Pixar - Lifted - The most amazing home videos are hereSe volete vederlo con più attenzione, ho trovato un link per poterlo scarica

I guess it is human nature. You see, I was still like a zombie this morning due to PayPal account access limitation.

It looks like Pay Per Post lifted their 2 posts a day limit a little too soon as the number of opportunities on offer and the average payout from those available has dropped like a stone. A few weeks ago, there would typically have been something like 100 posts available with maybe 1/3rd of those averaging around $7 to $10 or thereabouts. However, today there are still only 28 offers and only six of those are more than $6. In fact, it’s worse than that as five of the six aren’t really available to me and the seventh is already used up. So, nice idea to move the posting limit up to 3 per day but they need to pull in more advertisers or the whole lot will be cleared out very quickly indeed.

UpdateAt 11:45 pm a Ford Mustang driving at a high rate of speed was coming off the exit ramp from I-64 when it struck a guard rail. The car lost power causing its head lights to go out. The two tractor trailers that were traveling north did not see the car and hit it. The driver was thrown from the car and was found on the right side of the road where paramedics prepared him to be transported to UVA by helicopter. It was unclear if the driver was wearing his seat belt. The passenger of the car was wearing a seat belt and was taken out of the car and transported by ambulance to AMC. No truck driver was injured, but both trucks had to be towed from the interstate. Virgina State Police believe that the driver of the Mustang had been drinking and are awaiting a blood test to determine his blood alcohol content. I-81 was reopened at 5:06 am in both lanes of travel. The names of the driver and passenger of the car have not been released because of their injuries and pending notifications of

I don't know about you...but for me, seeing the Endeavour lifted off to the sky unto the space was a very exciting moment. I watched it through the internet at Yahoo live broadcast and it was awesome! Learning more about the universe is very important to me - it seems like the more we explore about the outer space, the more we realize how awesome our Creator is. I am excited about the fact that there's a teacher on board! My sons likes (and thrives on)science and technology, and when he attended the Robotech Camp this summer, they learned about Ms. Barbara Morgan's upcoming flight to space. Now, it's here!Maybe it's because I too is very fond of science and technology that's why I am thrilled by this news and current event. Whatever it is, I just want to express how thankful I am for this mission, and how it took off safely. Thank you Lord.Photo is courtesy of Yahoo News.For more Thankful Thursday, go to Sting My Heart.

Today we brought the kids for a round of shopping at Ikea. Some of you may recall that Booboo had been banned from Ikea by us for his ultra-crankiness when we last went to Ikea more than a year ago, I think. Today that ban was lifted. He was a lot better behaved today, but still showed flashes of his crankiness. Momo was also a good boy and both brothers made themselves at home at the store. We spent a small fortune on a couple of essential furniture items, like a new bed for Booboo and a chest of drawers to store their perpetually growing collection of clothes. Even though the boys were relatively well behaved, shopping for furniture, especially if it involves any form of self-service can be a daunting task. But we managed it. Because most of the purchases were for Booboo’s use, he has agreed to repay his Daddy for the expenses. Unfortunately he forgot the PIN for his ATM card and now I am many dollars poorer! Oh, and we bought these from Ikea too: Salmon burger patties. T

Keeping alive a centuries-old tradition - with a Philadelphia twist - a beam was hoisted to the highest point of Comcast Center today, topping off Philadelphia's new tallest skyscraper.There was a small tree at one end of the beam, which had been signed by workers and those gathered for the ceremony, and an American flag at the other.Between them was a statue of William Penn, the city's founder. There is a myth that Philadelphia's sports teams will not win a championship as long as a building "rises above Billy Penn" on City Hall, said Bill Hankowsky, chief executive officer of Liberty Property Trust, the Malvern company that is building Comcast Center.He was referring to the controversy two decades ago when One Liberty Place, also built by Liberty, became the first to break that barrier."We don't believe in the myth, but to be safe we've added the statue of Billy Penn," Hankowsky said.more at philly.com>>

A major shift of position by ministers today cleared the way for scientists to create hybrid animal-human embryos for stem cell research.The move followed a White Paper proposal banning the hybrids that attracted criticism from scientists, charities, patient groups and MPs.Today the Government published a draft Bill that effectively sweeps away the ban. Under the Human Tissue and Embryos Bill, scientists will be allowed to produce "cytoplasmic" hybrid embryos that are 99.9% human and 0.1% animal.The Bill goes further and permits human embryos to be altered by the introduction of animal DNA.Health Minister Caroline Flint, the Bill's chief architect, denies that the Government had staged a climbdown.She said that while recommending a "general prohibition", the White Paper had always left the door open for specific research to be allowed on a case-by-case basis.But the immediate ban called for by the White Paper has now been removed.The Bill also allows human-animal chimeras - human embr
