Butt fifty puts Pakistan in driver's seat

Pakistan v Sri Lanka, 1st ODI, Karachi

Butt fifty puts Pakistan in driver's seat

25 overs Pakistan 101 for 0 (Butt 55*, Manzoor 43*) need a further 119 to beat Sri Lanka 219 (Sangakkara 49, Anjum 4-42, Gul 3-30)

Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were out

After restricting Sri Lanka to 219, Pakistan made solid progress towards a series lead with a solid unbeaten opening stand of 101 between Salman Butt and Khurram Manzoor. Pakistan's domination in the game started when they nabbed three quick top-order wickets and their discipline in all three departments ensured the initiative never slipped. Butt remained unbeaten on 55 while Manzoor survived a nervy start to press towards his own half-century.

It was a patient start by the openers who were more intent on protecting their wickets and setting a solid base. It was a different approach to Sri Lanka's earlier in the day, as the batsmen saw off the opening bowlers, who kept things fairly tight. That the Powerplays cost only 32 and 23 runs respectively didn't cause too many worries in the Pakistan camp as they chased a below par score.

The consistent Butt carried on his solid touch with some neat flicks past midwicket off Nuwan Kulasekara, who wasn't quite as effective when he dropped it back of a length. Thilan Thushara focused on banging the ball in and forcing Butt to duck under a few bouncers, hoping the batsman would get frustrated. Butt's only false stroke was an attempted upper cut off a steep delivery from Thushara but otherwise, he was watchful around his off stump.

His partner wasn't quite so assured though and often made the mistake of shuffling across too far and cramping himself for room to cut. Manzoor played out several dot balls, shouldered arms to Kulasekara deliveries which skidded through, and when he realised the off side wasn't his favoured area, he shuffled across to full delivery by Farveez Maharoof and improvised with a flick past midwicket.

The question was whether Pakistan will hold their own against the spinners. Muttiah Muralitharan, introduced just after the second Powerplay, didn't get much turn and was smacked off the back foot by Manzoor, who applied the same treatment to Ajantha Mendis. He was duly punished for ten runs in his first over, which included two forceful shots by Manzoor square of the wicket on either side.

Butt looked comfortable at the other end and pushed Mendis to deep cover to bring up his tenth ODI fifty. Manzoor survived a close stumping chance off Murali but that was probably Sri Lanka's best chance of breaking through.

Jill Biden lets slip secret about Joe

Joe Biden's wife on Monday let slip that her husband had his pick of being Barack Obama's running mate or the secretary of state nominee.

Jill Biden's comment came during an appearance with her husband on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," taped at Washington's Kennedy Center. "Joe had the choice to be secretary of state or vice president," she said. Her husband turned to his wife with his finger to his lips and a "Shhhh!" sending the audience into laughter. "OK, he did," Jill Biden said in her defense.

The vice president-elect blushed, grimaced and gave his wife a hug while the audience laughed. Jill Biden said she told him vice president would be better for the family. "If you're secretary of state, you'll be away, we'll never see you," she said.

After the exchange aired, Biden spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander denied Jill Biden's account. "To be clear, President-elect Obama offered Vice President-elect Biden one job only -- to be his running mate," she said. "And the vice president-elect was thrilled to accept the offer."

The statement doesn't rule out that Obama and Biden discussed the possibility of the other post.

The celebrity-filled show also included the premiere of "America's Song," performed by Faith Hill, Seal, Bono, Mary J. Blige, Will.i.am and David Foster. It is available for free download on Winfrey's website -- oprah.com -- for 24 hours.
WARREN'S ADDRESS SPARKS A PROTEST

In what could be a preview of what he will say at Obama's inauguration, conservative pastor Rick Warren spoke to a packed house for the annual King Day service at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Monday.

"Tomorrow when I pray the invocation for my friend, Dr. King and a whole host of witnesses will be shouting," Warren said. "Martin Luther King was a mighty tool in the hand of God. But God isn't through. Justice is a journey and we're getting further and further along."

Captive Bolt gun

The captive bolt gun (sometimes referred to as simply "bolt gun") is a device for efficient, quick and effective slaughter of livestock. It is used in abattoirs to stun livestock such as sheep, cows and pigs before they are put to the knife for processing and packing. The advocates of bolt gun use claim that it works quickly enough that the animal is unable to feel any pain; the brain function is disrupted so quickly and completely that there is no pain from the bolt gun itself or from the slaughter that follows.

There are two general categories of bolt gun: pneumatic and cartridge-based. The former uses compressed air to drive a short metal rod at great speed out the business end; before firing, the device is placed directly against the skull of the animal. The location is important and varies with the species; the goal, in all cases, is to produce the maximum disruption as quickly as possible. The location is chosen for thinness of the skull, proximity to important nerve centers, and access for the slaughterman.

Cartridge-based bolt guns operate on the same principle, but instead of using a charge of compressed air (which requires compressors, hoses, high-pressure holding tanks, and the like) this version uses a blank cartridge to drive the bolt. After each use, the cartridge is ejected just as in a projectile firearm, and the next cartridge automatically loaded. The mechanism is similar to that of a cartridge nail gun.

The bolt gun allows modern industrial slaughterhouses to process upwards of two hundred and fifty cattle per hour per line. Usually, the animal is driven or conveyed down a chute into a narrow pen; the bolt gunner stands to the side, raised above the beast and reaches over to place the bolt gun. The limp corpse is then moved out of the pen and the next animal slotted. Assembly lines (dis-assembly lines?) come to death and groceries.

Crypto Boltgun

A homemade .22 caliber weapon that fires a single .22LR Stinger. To fire the weapon, all one needs to do is pull back on the spring-loaded hex head of the bolt.

The weapon is about 5/8-inches in diameter and 4-inches long. The only way to really tell the bolt is a weapon is due to the small opening in the threaded portion.

LAYFIELD’S ENERGY PLUS NO PAIN

3 in 1 Formula - Energy, Pain Relief, and Focus Factor

Energy Blend

Glucuronolactone (glucuronic acid lactone) is a natural metabolite found in the body. It supplies energy, increases feelings of well-being, reduces sleepiness and is widely known to improve mental performance, reaction time, concentration and memory.

Taurine is an amino acid believed to play an important role in many areas of the body including the brain and nervous system. It is presumed to act as a neurotransmitter and influence the central nervous system. Taurine is also present in the retina, in cardiac and skeletal muscle tissue, as well as in the bile where it participates in the forming of bile acids. Taurine reduces muscle damage caused by exercise by speeding recovery between workouts, reduces drowsiness, increases mental alertness and improves reaction time.

L-Phenylalanine is an essential, nine-carbon amino acid and is a precursor to the amino acid tyrosine. Because tyrosine is necessary for the synthesis of proteins and the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, phenylalanine is an extremely important nutrient that must be obtained through the diet or supplementation.

L-Phenylalanine can act as a potent mental stimulant for improved concentration during workouts and an increase in mental focus for thought processes in any sports activity.

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine, also called L-Tyrosine, is an essential amino acid since tyrosine can be made from the amino acid phenylalanine. Tyrosine is converted into dopamine and norepinephrine. Supplementation with both tyrosine and phenylalanine leads to alertness and mental arousal. By increasing brain neurotransmitter concentrations, tyrosine can help increase attention and combat performance decrements during sustained efforts. Tyrosine may act as an “anti-stress supplement”, suppressing rises in cortisol and the norepinephrine depletion associated with the stress response.

Malic Acid is important to the production of energy in the body during both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. It is thought to improve energy production at the cellular level and may benefit healthy individuals interested in maximizing their energy production.

Caffeine is found in the leaves, seeds or fruits of more than 60 plants, including coffee, tea, cocoa beans, kola and guarana. It is consumed due to its stimulating effect, which lasts a few hours depending on the amount of caffeine and the metabolism of the person.

Anti-Inflammatory Blend

Vitamin C is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body. It is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. It is an antioxidant and enhances the absorption of magnesium. It is thought that Quercetin and vitamin C work together to protect cells from inflammation-induced damage.

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid compound that blocks the release of histamine and other anti-inflammatory enzymes. It is a very powerful antioxidant that promotes a healthy immune and cardiovascular system.

Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that blocks the activity of Cox-2. Curcumin was first used by Indians over 3000 years ago in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

Cat’s Claw is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Results from various studies show that taking cat’s claw by mouth may have anti-inflammatory effects for individuals with either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. It is believed that chemicals in cat’s claw block the production of substances such as prostaglandins and tumor necrosis factor, which are involved in inflammation.

Bromelain contains anti-inflammatory enzymes that have ability to suppress the inflammation and pain of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and other joint inflammatory conditions. It has been shown to inhibit the cyclooxygenase enzyme, inhibiting the synthesis of PG-2 and helps break down fibrin (fibrinolytic), thereby minimizing local swelling.

Cognitive Support Blend

Bacopa Monniera leaf extract has been shown to support learning and memory in humans and has a direct effect on improving brain functions, increasing concentration, and in promoting memory functions.

Choline Bitartate is a chemical similar to the B-vitamins and serves various functions in our bodies, in the structure of cell membranes, protecting our livers from accumulating fat and works as a building block for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and other chemical messengers in the brain. It is a precursor to molecules that relay signals between nerve cells, including those in the brain.

Acetyl L Carnitine is a stabilized form of the amino acid metabolite L-Carnitine. It plays and important role in the transfer and utilization of long-chain fatty acids, which are used in the production of energy. Natural levels of Acetyl-l-carnitine diminish as we age. It is thought to enhance cognition and improve mild mental impairment.

In the annals of modern fear, few films have had as deep an impact as Wes Craven’s 1977 cult classic THE HILLS HAVE EYES. With its gritty, ferocious and relentlessly suspenseful tale of a vacationing family who suddenly face a desperate battle for survival, the low-low-budget but no-holds-barred film was resonant with both intriguing themes and outrageous shocks to the nervous system.

Now, inspired by the wild imagination of suspense-master Craven -- who serves as producer along with Marianne Maddalena and Peter Locke -- comes a contemporary reinterpretation of THE HILL HAVE EYES from the cutting-edge young filmmakers, Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur, whose recent hit HIGH TENSION won acclaim and controversy for raising the bar on horror films again with its graphic, white-knuckle take on psychological terror.

Aja and Levasseur bring this chilling horror story of ever-intensifying dread hurtling into the 21st century, refashioning it with a raw, gut-wrenching realism and hard-driving visual style to terrify a whole new generation of filmgoers.

It all begins with a typically dysfunctional cross-country family road trip. It’s the wedding anniversary of rugged Cleveland police detective “Big Bob” Carter (TED LEVINE) and his chatty wife Ethel (Academy Award® nominee KATHLEEN QUINLAN) and to celebrate, Bob’s asked his extended family to cruise to California with them, hoping the joys of the open road might help fuse their frayed connections. No one is particularly happy about it. Eldest daughter, Lynn, (VINESSA SHAW) worries about her new baby’s safety and comfort while her husband, mild-mannered tech geek, Doug (AARON STANFORD), worries about close encounters with his father-in-law. Meanwhile teen daughter, Brenda, (EMILIE DE RAVIN) detests the idea of leaving her friends for a family bonding trip, while young prankster Bobby, (DAN BYRD) is anxious to entertain the family’s two German Shepherds, Beauty and Beast. Nevertheless, the entire clan piles into a weathered Suburban pulling Bob’s beloved ’88 Airstream trailer and heads west.

Then, Big Bob takes a detour. Suddenly, the Carter family finds themselves in a desolate stretch of desert, with nothing seemingly alive for miles. When they run into a little unexpected vehicle trouble, they realize they are in dire straits, far from help, with a relentlessly sweltering desert sun overhead. But even as they fight to survive the deadly desert, a far greater threat emerges. Now the Carters become aware that they are not quite as alone as they first thought. There is another group of survivors in the hills surrounding the desert: a genetically mutated, insatiably hungry, blood-thirsty clan -- the terrifying offspring of miners left behind in the days when atomic tests spread radioactive fallout across the desert -- who will stop at nothing to prey on the Carters one by one. Facing the very depths of savagery, the Carter family must pull together if they are to find any hope of returning to civilized life again...alive.
