Pietersen rules out one-day captaincy
2007-06-21 23:31:00 *Kevin Pietersen on Thursday ruled himself out of the running to be England's new one-day captain following Michael Vaughan's decision to concentrate on his Test role. South African-born Pietersen had been backed for the role by pundits including Geoffrey Boycott but was regarded as less likely to be given the job than either Paul Collingwood, the favourite, or Andrew Strauss. Pietersen said in a statement that he did not feel ready to take on the additional responsibility involved in captaining his adopted country. "At this stage in my career I don't think it is the right time for me," he said. "I thought about it long and hard but right now I am happy playing and supporting the team like that. "I would be humbled in the future to be given the opportunity to captain my country but right now I don't think it is the right time for me.

2007-06-18 21:04:00 Prima doppietta stagionale e primo en plein della serie per il belga Jerome D’Ambrosio, che con la seconda vittoria del weekend nell’International Formula Master a Brno stacca tutti in campionato. Il 21enne della Cram Competition partiva ottavo per effetto della griglia rovesciata, ma è riuscito a guadagnare presto posizioni soffiando la testa della gara a Chris van der Drift, che ha collezionato poi il secondo terzo posto della prova ceca. Sul secondo gradino del podio è salito invece Giuseppe Terranova, che ha approfittato della partenza un po’ più lenta del suo compagno di squadra della Alan Racing Salvatore Gatto per andare subito in testa. D’Ambrosio lo ha superato grazie ad uno scatto in avanti efficace subito dopo l’uscita della safety car. La top 10 di gara 2 a Brno: 1.

Richard Gere-Which liberal piety is more important?
2007-04-28 17:04:00 In Iraq, many Indians work with the coalition forces. I remember one of my most enjoyable regular activities was getting my hair cut by the Indians in the barber shop. Not only were the barbers very nice, but I was able to enjoy the wonderful dancing and beautiful girls in the Bollywood movies they showed to the waiting soldiers. This story is more interesting than it appears. Gere is a liberal. He offended Indian sensibilities by kissing Shilpa Shetty in public and was criticized by officials there. Liberals take for granted that limiting public sex is a bad thing so Gere's first instinct was to attack, even using the normal American liberal rhetoric, "There is a very small, right-wing, very conservative political party in India, and they are the moral police in India and they do this kind of thing quite often," he said. Somebody should inform Gere that in democracies small parties don't make laws. So that's it? No, the liberal piety above is contradicted by another liberal ...

Pietersen ruins Lara's day with bat and ball
2007-04-22 03:46:00 Brian Lara's glittering international career ended in a cruel run out and an unfortunate one-wicket defeat in the World Cup Super Eights match against England in Barbadoes on Saturday.When Lara stepped out for his last innings Gayle embraced him and a loud cheer and standing ovation accompanied him to the middle as fans, who had started to arrive at the ground since early morning, paid a deserving farewell to the batting legend.Lara made 18 in West Indies' 300 all out before his bowlers and fielders raised hopes of a win.However, Kevin Pietersen's hundred and Paul Nixon's gritty 38 spoiled the genius' farewell at Kensington Oval as England reached 9-301 with one ball remaining.A capacity crowd stood up and cheered Lara who shook hands with all his teammates before umpire Rudi Koertzen bid farewell to the batting great.Rival captain Michael Vaughan came onto the ground, followed by other members of the England team to give Lara their own send-off.Lara wiped away the tears, waved...

England pin their hopes on Pietersen factor
2007-04-17 14:20:00 'He wasn't born a great batsman but he has set about acquiring greatness with a single-minded focus.' It is incredible how it has come to this. South Africa came to the tournament ranked number one and tomorrow they will fight to stay in the tournament against a team that is yet to win a match against major opposition but still has a chance to sneak through to the semi-final. England, many would argue, have no business to be in the last four but, after the sensational turnaround in the Commonwealth Bank Series in which they upstaged Australia, even the cynical English journalists are not ruling anything out. The tournament has played out to a strange pattern so far. Australia have shown themselves to be far ahead but, even though Sri Lanka have emerged as worthy contenders, the hierarchy is still fuzzy. Ireland have beaten Bangladesh who have beaten South Africa who have beaten Sri Lanka who have beaten New Zealand who have beaten South Africa. England, by the wa...
Pietersen shows his rivalry against South Afrcan cricket team in style
2007-04-17 09:11:00 The English batsman Kevin Pietersen, who once dreamt to play for South Africa has shown a great rivalry in the ground for not selecting him. He has shown this not with blame or speaking anything but with his performance. Pietersen has scored about 2000 runs in ODI with an impressive average of 56. He is the no.1 batsman in LG ICC cricket ranking. He has scored 4 centuries in ODI among whom 3 are against the South Africans. Not only this, his average which is off 56 against all nations goes up to 156 against the Proteas. He has scored about 450 runs against them including 4 hundreds and 1 fifty.The South African selectors must be realizing their great mistake of not selecting Kevin Pietersen in their team. All the credits go to Kevin Pietersen who proved that he is a great player with that type of performance in ODI especially against the South Africans.The next match in world cup is South Africa against England. The match is a crucial one as it decides whether South Africa or Englan...
DiPietro stones Sabres, Fans Panic!!!
2007-04-16 15:17:00 Well, I am feeling a bit pessimistic this morning.It's April 16th. It is tax day. It is snowing...hard.Worst of all I just listened to Sabres fans panic for 1/2 hour straight on WGR55.Perfect! It is absolutely not the way I needed this week to start.Did I mention it is snowing on tax day?Anyhow, enough of that.The Sabres lost a game Saturday that they did not deserve to win. They failed to show up for the first 15 minutes of play and went down two goals. It was hole they clawed out of well. In fact they dominated much of the rest of the game but couldn't score in the clutch.I have got to hand it to Ted Nolan and the Islanders. They had a plan and worked it well. They collapsed down on DiPietro and took advantage of a Sabres team that didn't come top play.After they got their two goal lead they played tough defense and refused to panic in the face of pressure. I myself have criticized Nolan's game planning prowess in the past, but not today.He refocused a team who's confidence h...

Islanders' rushing of DiPietro is a panic-filled move...
2007-04-13 15:29:00 Do the Islanders remember who this guy is above? What he did to take the Islanders into the playoffs?According to a New York Newsday report, Rick DiPietro has been cleared to play by doctors.He will skate in a full practice today with the team.I am actually very surprised at this, I think that they're rushing Rick DiPietro back way too quickly.I just don't get what the problem is with Dubielewicz's play?He played well last night in New York's 4-1 loss, he made 31 saves and was key for the Islanders in that final stretch while replacing Rick DiPietro.Jesus, the guy endures 2 concussions in one month and he's already back, I think this is a panic move on the Islanders' part, they probably think they don't have a chance to beat the Sabres with Dubielewicz in net.This is deja-vu all over again.Remember when Cristobal Huet was rushed into play, 2 months after undergoing surgery for a torn hamstring last Saturday in Toronto?Huet was obviously rusty and played shakily in a 6-5 loss...
Kevin Pieterson in top of the ladder at ICC rankings
2007-03-28 18:24:00 He has uncanny batting technique, but one thing for sure he knows how to make use of willow in hand. Yes you guessed it right! We are talking about England batsman Kevin Pieterson who has attained the number one ICC ranking in the batsman category of one day cricket. This means that he has become only the third England player, after opening batsman Marcus Trescothick and Allan Lamb, to lead the rankings for one-day batsmen. England who is struggling at the World Cup both on and off the field would hope that the best ODI batsman at present lifts the spirit of whole team. Though, he has scored half centuries against New Zealand and Kenya in the group stage but big century is still missing and that is what you need from your big players. If England has any ambition of beating the likes of Australia, South Africa and Srilanka, Pieterson has to fire. The best part about Pieterson as a batsman is his attacking ability. If he is in form, he can slaughter any attack in the world and can ...

Rifugio San Pietro (Trento, IT)
2007-03-06 15:22:00 The circumstances in which you eat matter a lot.There are some wonderful hikes around Trento, at the end of which sometimes is a 'rifugio' that offers shelter for the night and/or pure and simple comfort food. We began the walking season with a beautiful and easy mid-altitude walk to Rifugio San Pietro, on Monte Calino in the Ledro Alps. High above the Garda lake, it is at about 1000 meters altitude, reached starting from about 500m, first through the impressive medieval village of Calvolathen through forest and countryside (notable is a chestnut tree area).Huff...puff...huff...puff-...finally here is the rifugio:As you can see, it is near a church (a pretty old church in fact, the original structure possibly dating back to the Middle Ages). The walk was easy, as we said, but still it was 500m ascent and we took it briskily to the top (and then around the area), the weather was still fresh, and so we were starving by 12.00 a.m.We are greeted by the concierge manager:The interior ...

Pieter Nooten: Ourspace
2007-03-04 04:24:00 Pieter Nooten’s musical career starts as early as the late 70s. Starting out as the drummer in a local symphonic rock band, Nooten quickly changes to bass guitar and later keyboards, playing in different bands all over the place. At the height of house squatting culture and New Wave, Nooten meets Anka Wolbert and Ronny Moorings who just formed ‘Xymox’ together. During the mid-eighties Xymox records two highly acclaimed albums on 4AD. Nooten teams up with Michael Brook to record ‘Sleeps with the fishes’, also released on 4AD. This ‘soundtrack to heaven’ (Melody Maker) would become Nooten’s highly acclaimed masterpiece and ‘maintains a cult status up until this day’ (amazon.com).“Pieter Nooten’s "Sleeps With The Fishes" is adept at taking what should be morose music and converts it into something resplendent. And it maintains that sad, beautiful sensation throughout its length. Not too many albums have such a perfectly-realized mood and atmosphere, one that dra...
