India claimed a Test series win in Australia for the first time after day five of the final Test in Sydney was washed out on Monday, giving the tourists a 2-1 success. Paine paid tribute to India, saying they were deserved winners, particularly after dominating the final two Tests. “I think we have to [say we ran into a better team]. You have to tip your hat to India,” he told a post-match presentation....
His personal blog which spans from August 2002 to June 2007 covered a wide breadth of topics, including the military and politics. In a post from last February Olmsted writes he was, “blogging in violation of a Department of Defense directive that restricts how much political activity soldiers may be involved with.” He began writing for the Rocky Mountain News in May. Maj. Olmsted was killed along with another American officer named Capt....
The drivers are still making $700 to $1,000 a week. But to get these tax-free checks they have only to prove that their company had accounts near the World Trade Center and that they lost income as a result of the September 11 attacks. How much they’ve lost is not an issue. “Our guidelines,” says Cheryl Clark, a volunteer from Reno, Nev., “are that we don’t inquire into someone’s financial background… We don’t want to make it too hard....
Wolverine is likely the most well-known character of the X-Men series, and his popularity with even casual fans has to be in part due to Fox’s X-Men trilogy, and Wolverine’s multiple spinoff movies. He was the main character of the original trilogy, with most of the focus being on him and his character development, and the first to get his own origin story. Though these films aren’t looked back on incredibly fondly, their casting and performances, in general, have always been praised for being spot on....
November 16th 2013. The venue was the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The match was between India and West Indies. It was no ordinary match as a phenomenon was on his way out and his compatriots were doing everything they could to ensure he did so in triumphant fashion. When Mohammad Shami took the final wicket, the end arrived in not just the test match, but also in the career of Sachin Tendulkar....

That last one of course paved the way for us to win the FA Cup. Sorry if we never thanked you properly....
Respected Luis, Let me start off with the customary appreciation for the great campaign you’ve had. Your dribbles, nutmegs and goals have silenced your critics and won you many admirers for your flamboyance on the field. The chant of ‘Luis Suarez can only nutmeg, not score’ has well and truly been put to bed. After El Nino left Merseyside for supposedly greener pastures, the Koppites bestowed the golden brow upon your head, as a token of their expectations from you to carry on the legacy left behind by the former No....

The Netflix film has been written and directed by Andrew Dominik, who previously wrote and directed the Brad Pitt film Killing Them Softly in 2012. That film was based on George V. Higgins’ novel, Cogan’s Trade. Dominik’s Blonde will continue his trend of adapting novels and exploring human emotion. Blonde is inspired by the 2000 best-selling novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates. Pitt will serve as a producer on the film....
Analogue Pocket owners, however, will be able to do just that, as the portable console just received a system update that includes Spacewar!, a game invented by MIT students in 1962. Spacewar! is a two-player competitive shooter in which a pair of spaceships face off against one another while navigating the gravity of a star. It used an early version of a gamepad for controls and a cathode-ray tube for a display....
The Comparison When former GOP congressman Bob Barr launched a Libertarian bid for the White House last week, politicos recalled another intervention by a third-party candidate with spoiler potential. In 2000, Ralph Nader seemed to nick enough Democratic votes to harm Al Gore’s campaign. Could Barr do the same to Republican John McCain? Why It Works Nader’s consumer-rights work and progressive platform attracted voters who saw Vice President Gore as a status quo Washington insider....
Chelsea tasted defeat in the FA Cup at the weekend as they went down 2-0 against Manchester City, leaving Jose Mourinho’s men only with chances for success in the Premier League and Champions League over the remainder of the season. While those two prizes are the biggest on offer in any case, the fact that Chelsea could have knocked City out and been left with a relatively straight-forward run to at least the semifinals will grate on the Chelsea boss and it will be seen as a case of opportunity lost....

I will discuss my views on the matters at hand, then we will see how each of these things will help things going forward. Feel free to let me know your opinion on the topics I cover in the comments section below....
While the jury is out on how disgraceful that act was, cricket itself has come a long way. Now captains do not really need to come up with ingenious, potentially risky ideas, but can come prepared with a wide range of information regarding opposition batsmen and bowlers At their behest is a huge mountain of data that could tell them where a batsman doesn’t hit the ball when under pressure, which part of the ground he doesn’t prefer, what length of delivery makes him uncomfortable, what kind of bowlers prevent him from pulling off sensational strokes and more such information....
He has not been in action since losing his WWE Universal Championship at Wrestlemania 33 after a very dominant return to professional wrestling after nearly a decade of absence. The question though, do fans still want to see this? Let’s weigh this one out. Pros Goldberg’s popularity in the world of sports entertainment cannot be ignored. His dominant undefeated streak during his time with WCW during the late 90s made him a key ingredient in the Monday Night Wars because he was an instant fan favorite....
But most of the book, of course, has to do with aging–and if you know Ephron’s work, you know not to expect the usual platitudes about the compensation of gaining wisdom. “For the last 15 years I’ve been reading pieces about how much happier you’re going to be when you get older and wiser,” she says, “and I just kept thinking, Are they nuts? Are they not looking in the mirror?...
It almost feels like Sting was referring to Xabi Alonso here. Well, almost. Obviously, the song is not about the legendary Spaniard, but the lyrics do really symbolise the type of player that he was: someone who never played for the money or respect, but purely for the love of the game. And it is only the players that play for love who make it to the top. The Professor There are a great many things about Alonso that stood out, but what truly set him apart was his unparalleled understanding of the game and the way he orchestrated attacks from the deepest of positions....
The AndaSeat T-Pro 2 is incredibly well-designed, and somewhat of a boon for gamers with larger frames as it offers room between the armrests and height to the backrest. However, little gamers beware, this gaming seat possibly isn’t for you, as its superior sizing swallows smaller frames whole. You see, the T-Pro 2 is built with seating space in mind. If you are a taller gamer, or you have a wider frame, then this is the perfect choice for you without a shadow of a doubt....
UFC Middleweight Anderson Silva is undoubtedly one of the contenders in the race for the MMA GOAT tag.
