She is a role model of mine – in any decision I think, “What would @placeholder do?”’
|
Now that the BCCI have been formally enshrined as the only administration that matters, and the ECB have been seduced into believing they matter too, the five-Test series starting in Nottingham on Wednesday has a lot to live up to. After all, if the players don’t match the star billing currently afforded to the men in suits, things could get rather awkward. Giants off the field, pygmies on it – this is not a slogan that would sit comfortably alongside the omnipotence of N Srinivasan and Giles Clarke. We exaggerate, of course. But not by much. India sit fourth in the Test rankings, England fifth. It’s like the 2009 Ashes, when two mid-table sides did flawed battle until England picked Jonathan Trott at the last minute and won at The Oval. Another left-field move could swing the result this time.

The clock is ticking on preventive @placeholder or U.S. military options as Iran gets closer to full nuclear capability.
|
(CNN) -- There is nothing new about the tension between the United States and Iran. Relations have swung from crisis to crisis ever since the fall of the Shah in 1979. But recently, this tension is turning into outright confrontation and the threat of war. In October 2011, an alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States became public. A month later, the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a report that showed Iran had experimented with virtually every element of nuclear weapons production and studied how to put nuclear weapons on its missiles. In December, the United States passed new sanctions designed to halt Iranian oil exports that nearly crippled Iran's ability to conduct international banking; the European Union passed similar sanctions this January.

By Steve Doughty Tory rebel David Davis has said the Chancellor should commit should institute a higher tax-free transfers for married people George Osborne should promise large-scale and costly new tax breaks for married couples, a senior Tory said yesterday. The Chancellor should commit to a transferable tax allowance for married people worth the whole of their £10,500 income tax-free allowance, former Party chairman David Davis said. This would give vital support to marriage and the family and bring help to stay at home mothers.

Billionaire Petro Poroshenko leads all candidates with 54% of the vote counted in Ukraine's presidential election, the Central Elections Commission reported Monday. He declared victory a day earlier, following preliminary exit polls that suggested he had secured a majority of the vote. His closest challenger, Yulia Tymoshenko, a former Ukrainian prime minister and the leader of the Batkivshchyna party, conceded the election after exit polls showed her with 13% of the vote, which matched Monday's early official tally. Poroshenko, a candy tycoon known as the "Chocolate King," is also a seasoned politician known for his pro-European Union views. At a news conference in Kiev, he reiterated that European integration would be his priority. He added that in Sunday's vote, the President and the whole of Ukraine had changed.

In two cases from the @placeholder, the divided high court said the university's law school could give preferential treatment to minorities -- as one factor in the admissions process -- but could not set quotas or use a point system.
|
Washington (CNN) -- A divided federal appeals court on Friday struck down Michigan's controversial ban on consideration of race and gender in college admissions. The 2-1 panel at the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals concluded the voter-approved ban on "preferential treatment" at state colleges and universities was unconstitutional, and "alters Michigan's political structure by impermissibly burdening racial minorities." The issue is likely to renew the national, political and legal debate over affirmative action, which the Supreme Court could be poised to resolve in the coming months. The affirmative action ban was passed five years ago in a referendum and was added to the state's constitution, barring publicly funded centers of higher education from granting "preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin." That prompted a series of lawsuits and appeals from various groups.

On Tuesday, football's world governing body FIFA insisted it will not be liable for compensation if the 2022 World Cup is staged in winter rather than summer. FIFA is considering rescheduling the World Cup because of concerns over high temperatures in host nation Qatar, where the heat can reach 122 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer months. And Australian football chiefs argue that if the competition is moved then FIFA should offer compensation to those nations affected by a major rescheduling of global football's calendar.

It could also seal the fate of embattled Democratic Sen.

(CNN) -- The long-awaited remake of the 1970s cult classic "Sparkle" is finally seeing the light of day as it opens in theaters across North America this weekend. The film stars season six "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks and the late pop icon Whitney Houston. It's set in Detroit during the 1960s and chronicles the rise and perils of an all-girl R&B group -- a la Diana Ross and the Supremes and the glitzy 1981 Broadway show "Dreamgirls" and its 2006 movie adaptation. The project has been a labor of love for producer Debra Martin Chase for more than a decade. She and Houston, her film producing partner, scored with "The Princess Diaries" films and the made-for-TV movie, "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella." As longtime fans of the original 1976 flick (written by an upstart Joel Schumacher), the duo yearned to bring it to a new audience.

The warning came as Russian investigators said they believed Chechen rebels were responsible for Monday's twin suicide bombings in Moscow's subway network that killed at least 39 people. The Russia-Chechnya conflict dates back nearly 20 years, with Chechens having laid claim to land in the Caucasus Mountains region. Thousands have been killed and 500,000 Chechen people have been displaced from the fighting. The area is located in the North Caucasus region of Russia between the Black and Caspian seas.

The line appears in Sunday's much-awaited special where Bart Simpson and his family hang around with Stewie and the rest of the Family Guy crew, and has already circulated in a trailer for the episode that Fox released online over the summer. It punctuates a scene in which the incorrigible Bart is instructing Stewie Griffin in the art of the prank phone call.

Washington (CNN) -- Although all 435 House seats are up in November's midterms, redistricting has reduced the number of swing races and made it easier for political watchers to keep up with those seats truly up for grabs. But redistricting has made it more difficult for Democrats to retake control of the chamber for the first time since 2010. With fewer seats in play, they must capture 17 held by Republicans. Adding to the challenge for Democrats is that a traditionally older midterm electorate tends to favor Republicans. Regardless, they are still making a play and Republicans are defending their turf.

He said the group's world view "had a negative effect on me," and made him irritable and angry. "God owns my life, not the Beatles," he said simply. Although Hutchins said he enjoys a wide range of music -- from Pink Floyd and Arcade Fire to Christian bands such as Hillsong United -- he said he has to be careful of what music he listens to, for the same reason he temporarily turned off the Beatles.

(CNN) -- For five years, Michael Emerson was the villain who stole just about every scene on "Lost." (And he has the Emmy to prove it.) He was such an important part of that landmark series that it only seemed to make sense that he ended up on the side of good, keeping watch on the island when it was all over. Now Emerson is on the island of Manhattan, filming "Person of Interest," one of the top dramas on television. On the CBS sci-fi procedural, Emerson plays Finch, a mysterious genius whose creation, the Machine, can predict crimes before they happen. This time, his character's motives are more pure.

The Prime Minister vowed to seek a 'broad coalition' after the surprise result which saw his right-wing alliance Likud-Beiteinu lose 11 seats. It is still the biggest party in the new parliament with 31 of 120 seats but the win may not be enough for hardliner Netanyahu to keep his position. The new centrist Yesh Atid (There is a Future) party, led by television personality Yair Lapid, won a surprising 19 seats, leaving Lapid a key person for Netanyahu to woo in coalition negotiations.

The fight could be extended to any 'closely related successor entity' to the Islamic State organization that has overrun parts of Iraq and Syria, imposed an extreme form of Sharia law and killed several hostages it has taken.

It's the second time a @placeholder has blocked a so-called "emergency extension" of jobless benefits.
|
(CNN) -- Extended unemployment benefits will temporarily expire for thousands of Americans on Monday because the Senate went on its spring recess without approving a one-month deadline extension. The extension, which had bipartisan support, would have cost about $10 billion, but a lone Republican, Sen. Tom Coburn, said no until the costs are offset. The Oklahoma senator objected to a commonly used unanimous-consent agreement to pass the bill under emergency conditions, even if it increases the federal deficit. Coburn wants to eliminate additional government spending to pay for the bill. "The legitimate debate is whether we borrow and steal from our kids or we get out of town and send the bill to our kids for something that we're going to consume today," Coburn said on the Senate floor.

It's a highly-anticipated deal that keeps his nation from teetering over the edge of the fiscal cliff - yet President Obama has not even shown up to sign the new bill into law. Instead, Obama, who is vacationing in Hawaii, has signed the bill using an autopen, a mechanical device that copies his signature - allowing him to accept the deal after playing a round of golf. While he's the only president in history to turn to the gadget to sign a bill into law, it is not the first time President Obama has used it. In May 2011, he used the pen to sign the Patriot Act - extending anti-terrorism measures enacted in the wake of 9/11 - while he was 3,725 miles and six time zones away in France at a G8 meeting.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- The U.S. trade embargo on Cuba is endangering the health of millions by limiting Cubans' access to medicines and medical technology, human rights group Amnesty International alleged Wednesday. Amnesty International says the U.S. trade embargo is limiting Cubans' access to medical technology. An Amnesty report examines the effects of the sanctions, which have been in place since 1962. Amnesty International Secretary-General Irene Khan called the U.S. embargo immoral and said it should be lifted. "It's preventing millions of Cubans from benefiting from vital medicines and medical equipment essential for their health," Khan said. The embargo restricts the export of medicines and medical equipment from the U.S. and from any U.S.-owned company abroad.

David Cameron will this week come under mounting pressure to make sure families forced to miss their holidays because of the Government's passport crisis get their money back. Shadow immigration minister David Hanson said ministers urgently needed to look into compensation schemes for those who couldn't go abroad as a result of lengthy delays in processing their passports and vowed to press the Government on the issue in Parliament tomorrow. He said he would be tabling parliamentary questions about what the Coalition is doing to discuss the situation with insurance companies for those with travel policies.

So Broussard started a group she called @placeholder, organizing volunteers to drive patients to and from Houston's airports and treatment centers for free.
|
Houston, Texas (CNN) -- For years, Kathy Broussard flew her single-engine Piper Cherokee across Texas, bringing critically ill patients to Houston for life-saving medical treatments. "I would pick up patients and drop them off ... and they would call a cab, and that was how it was done," said Broussard, who was part of a group of volunteer pilots who flew in patients from all over Texas. In 1999, one of her frequent-flyer patients, Eva, called Broussard and said she wouldn't be coming in. "She started crying and says, 'Kathy, I don't have cab fare.' " Houston, Texas, is home to many medical centers, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the world's premier cancer treatment facilities. But cab fare from Houston's main airports to the treatment centers can range from $50 to more than $100 each way.

They used to call him the ‘Iron Tulip’ in Holland, a reference to a perceived inflexibility as well as a rigid self-confidence. As he prepares to head to the Barclays Premier League, however, they are going to have to come up with some new names for Louis van Gaal. During the three-and-a-half weeks of this World Cup in Brazil, the Dutch manager has emerged as one of the international game’s great innovators. His rotation of formations, tactics and his use of substitutes had grabbed the world’s attention even before his remarkable decision to throw reserve goalkeeper Tim Krul into Saturday night’s penalty shoot-out at Arena Fonte Nova.

(CNN)Javier Hirschfeld has a thing for eyes. He is gripped by unflinching stares, by looks that belie dignity and poise. "Even in street landscapes, I like pictures where the building is looking back at you," admits the Spanish photographer. It was this fascination that inspired him to photograph the women of Goree Island, off the coast of Senegal. "The powerful eyes of those girls; they are very dark and very deep. That's what attracted me to them," he recalls. The women and the landscape reminded him of a powerful portraitist who defined much of his childhood: Spanish painter Julio Romero de Torres.

Wolfe pictured here at the internment camp where he was held When American pilot Roland Wolfe crashed his British Spitfire into a peat bog in Ireland during World War Two, few thought it would ever be seen again. The pilot who bailed out immediately wanted to climb into the cockpit of another military aircraft and continue fighting for the allies. Knowing that his fighter was doomed, the young RAF Officer had radioed: 'I'm going over the side' before parachuting to safety moments before impact. But instead of fighting again the serviceman was interned in a camp - where captured UK and U.S. troops mixed freely with the German enemy.

An Adelaide court has heard how a man had 'turmoil in his life' and was 'off the rails' when he punched and nearly killed Jason Lindsley in a city nightclub. The district court was shown shocking vision of CCTV footage, from the night of the incident at Adelaide nightclub Zhivago in August 2012, where Ali Joubouri threw a single punch at the victim, which saw him instantly drop to the ground. The footage shows Mr Lindsley, then 24, talking and drinking with friends when he is seen starting to talk to Joubouri, who leaves and then comes back before having a close discussion with Mr Lindsley.

Thirty-year-old Malakia, who is from Elizabeth City, North Carolina, recounted the frantic scene tonight in an interview with NBC News as her rescuers bluntly told her, 'If you guys want to get out, we understand it's dangerous, but this is probably your best shot.

Two-thirds of hospitals have sent teams of managers abroad to recruit foreign nurses, an investigation has found. And more than three-quarters are hiring nurses from abroad thanks to staff shortages across the NHS. Many recruit en masse in groups of 30 or 40 at a time from countries such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. But senior doctors are concerned that the nurses’ poor command of English and potentially inadequate training puts patients at risk. Dr Peter Carter of the Royal College of Nursing said the NHS relies upon hardworking nurses from overseas The Nursing and Midwifery Council, which regulates nurses, is forbidden from testing those arriving from Europe because EU law states that this would inhibit ‘freedom of movement’.

President Bush, left, smiles with Alan Greenspan after the longtime Fed chairman stepped down last year. He further says the GOP deserved the stomping it took in November's congressional elections -- a ballot that saw both houses of Congress wrested from Republican control -- because the party "swapped principle for power." His book, "The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World," is scheduled for release Monday. CNN obtained a copy Saturday.

Apparently, when it comes to Middle-earth, director Peter Jackson thinks three is the magic number. Last month at Comic-Con, Jackson teased fans with the idea that he was interested in pushing beyond his planned two-film adaptation of "The Hobbit." Today, after weeks of intensive talks with Warner Bros. over how exactly that might be achieved, Jackson announced on his Facebook page that he is, in fact, going to turn "The Hobbit" into a trilogy. "It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made," Jackson wrote. "Recently Fran [Walsh], Phil[lippa Boyens] and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie — and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved 'yes.'"

Now a 36-year-old mother of three children, Montenegro learned another truth this week: One of eight unidentified bodies found across the border in @placeholder in 2002 was confirmed to be the remains of her father.

(CNN) -- Victoria Montenegro of Argentina considered the military couple who raised her as generous, humanitarian people, taking her into their home as if their own baby because her real parents were killed in a shootout in Buenos Aires in 1976. She had no reason to believe otherwise -- until the year she turned 24. That's when a group investigating the atrocities of Argentina's so-called Dirty War from 1976 to 1983 told Montenegro that her real parents were among "the disappeared ones," as the war victims are hauntingly called. What happened to the thousands of disappeared ones -- mainly leftists -- is an enduring agony of the war's horrors.

The next day I called @placeholder and learned a new ovarian cancer trial was about to start for which I might be eligible.

(CNN)One night in early October 2014 I woke up at 2 a.m. and began watching Vital Signs on CNN International. The show was about the future of cancer treatment through immunotherapy -- a topic close to my heart. In 2012, I was diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer, at age 52. As I watched Dr. Sanjay Gupta interview doctors, researchers and two patients at Yale New Haven Medical Center/Smilow Cancer Center, I decided, then and there, that I wanted to be in a research trial. Some days in our lives are memorable. We all prefer the good days, marriages, births, and graduations. June 8, 2012 was not one of those days for me. That was the day I was diagnosed. I went immediately from being a lawyer, mother, and wife -- taking care of everyone -- to being a professional patient.

(CNN) -- Another week, another North Korean provocation. It might seem an understandable reaction to news Monday that North and South Korea had exchanged hundreds of shells across their western sea border. The incident occurred a day after Pyongyang had warned it was preparing to test another nuclear device, and just a week after it tested two medium-range ballistic missiles. But should the West greet such saber-rattling with a shrug of the shoulders? After all, Western capitals have been engaging in this "dance" for two decades, since the late Kim Jong Il took over as the country's supreme leader. Is this latest round of provocations under his son and successor, Kim Jong Un, simply more of what we've seen before?
