Hashim Amla was approaching his third century in his last four tests as South Africa defused Australia's pace attack and reached a dominant 255 for two at the end of the opening day of the first test at the Gabba tonight.
Amla, who was 90 not out when the stumps were drawn early because of bad light, put on 136 in an unbeaten third wicket stand with Jacques Kallis (84 not out) after openers Graeme Smith (10) and Alviro Petersen (64) were dismissed either side of the lunch break.
Australian seamer Peter Siddle was left rueing missed chances after his no ball gave Kallis a life on 43 and he dropped a catch off his own bowling that would have sent Amla back to the dressing room with 74 runs.
The home side had hoped the bowling attack which destroyed India's vaunted batsmen last year would do the same with the South Africans but the fireworks from James Pattinson, Ben Hilfenhaus and Siddle failed to materialise.
Amla, the world's top-ranked batsman, signalled his intent early in the day with a soaring six off spinner Nathan Lyon and coolly paced his innings, easing up when the quicks got into their stride and opening up against anything loose.
The 29-year-old put on 90 for the second wicket with Petersen before the opener threw away his wicket by wafting a shot for Mike Hussey to catch at mid-on off Lyon's bowling halfway through the second session.
Picking up his 5,000th test run along the way, Amla reached his 24th test half century before tea and, Siddle's dropped catch apart, it looked like only the gathering clouds would stop him reaching his 17th test century.
The evergreen Kallis had designs on the milestone himself after racing to his 56th test half century in just 63 balls, reaching the mark with a sublime cover drive.The all rounder rode his luck, though, when he ballooned a catch to Lyon only for the umpire to call him back to the crease after TV replays showed Siddle had failed to keep his front foot behind the line.
Australia had earlier benefited from the TV appeal system to dismiss Smith lbw when a Pattinson delivery caught the South African skipper's trailing leg but umpire Billy Bowden declined to raise his characteristic crooked finger.
South Africa won the toss and chose to bat, which looked like a good decision after the wicket and overcast conditions failed to produce the sort of swing and movement off the pitch the seamers had hoped for.
Whether South Africa's other big decision of the morning - to drop spinner Imran Tahir and give a debut to Rory Kleinveldt as part of a four-pronged pace attack - proves a good one may only be determined as the contest unfolds.
South Africa's number one test ranking is on the line in the series, which continues with matches in Adelaide and Perth after Brisbane.

This family business is for life...
In the small town of Clover, when you die, you are put to rest by Campbell and Sons Funeral Home. Unfortunately twelve-year-old Kip Campbell happens to be the only "son" in that title. And that's a problem for him since the funeral home business is the last thing he wants to inherit, even if he has a "gift" for it. See, it just so happens that Kip can talk to the dead. Well, they talk to him, really. They tell him what they need in order to move on to the great beyond. Kip wants to move too. Straight out of Clover. He's about to give notice -- he's done helping the dead -- when he's offered a surprising deal: Find out the secret that is holding back old Billy Blye, and Kip will receive his weight in gold. That would be enough to take him far away from Clover, and Campbell and Sons Funeral Home.
Editorial Reviews
Gr 4-6
Kip, 12, is unhappy with the prospect of one day running the family business, Campbell and Sons Funeral Home, and longs to escape his small New England town and explore the world. However, he has a unique ability that should make him a natural in the profession: he can hear the voices of the newly dead that have not yet passed on to "the good" and help them resolve the issues that are keeping them anchored to this world. Eager to go to summer camp with his three buddies, Kip needs to raise money for the fee. When a grouchy fisherman suddenly dies, the voice tells Kip that he can earn his weight in gold if he helps the departed man pass on. The story's action speeds by quickly and events are not smoothly linked together. Many plot and character details are introduced but not fully developed, and Kip hops breathlessly from one place to another. The writing attempts to be humorous and philosophical, but ends up more confusing than enjoyable. Chapters open with quotes from Charles Dickens's works, but most young readers will be unfamiliar with these books and will miss the point of their presence. This rushed story never really gives readers a chance to settle in and get to know the characters.-Bethany A. Lafferty, Las Vegas-Clark County Library, NV

Chapter 1
Campbell and Sons
There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk...
-- Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby
I spend a lot of time thinking about f-words.
Food. Friends. Fun.
And funerals.
That's right, funerals. Our family runs Campbell and Sons Funeral Home. We live upstairs from the business. Family on the second floor. Funerals on the first. Frankenstein stuff in the basement. When you kick it in Clover, my home is your home. You're welcome anytime. Every day that ends in y. Morning, noon, or night.
It's been that way since 1875. Ever since my great-great-great-great-grandfather Christopher Adams Campbell had the fishbrain idea to start a funeral business. He was a carpenter, the only one in town, and I guess he was building so many caskets, he figured he might as well bury them too.
I wish the old Pilgrim could have picked a better product. Potato chips or bubble gum or chicken soup or something. But that's spit off Clover Cliff at this point. As we say in the funeral field, we're in it "forever" now.
For six long generations, Campbell and Sons Funeral Home has been proudly, and I mean proudly, passed on down from Campbell father to son...to son...to son. And that's fine if you like hanging around dead people. I don't.
That's a problem. A big one. Because unless one of my sisters grows a mustache and crosses over, there's only one Campbell son in this entire generation.
And every time I pass by that long line of Christophers hanging on the wall in the hall downstairs -- the gold-trimmed ghostly-grim faces of every Christopher Campbell, Funeral Director, from Christopher Adams Campbell to Christopher Bartholomew Campbell to Christopher Clemson Campbell...all the way to my father, Christopher Francis Campbell -- a snaky shiver runs down my spine.
And when I come to the end of the line and see that space on the wall next to my Dad. The perfect-size spot for one more portrait. The place where my face is supposed to go. I get a punch-in-the-gut-puke-it-up feeling.
All I can think about is: how can I stop history?
How can I be the first Christopher to break the family curse?
Be a Christopher Columbus, not a Christopher Campbell.
Chart a new course, pull up anchor, catch the wind, and sail away.
Even though, I know, it will break my father's heart. Copyright © 2008 by Coleen Murtagh Paratore

CWind hosted a delegation of 20 businesses from the south east region of Northern Ireland on Tuesday this week. The delegation, led by Energy Connections NI and hosted by the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) was in the area this week to see first-hand how businesses here have taken advantage of the supply chain opportunities on offer and exchange thoughts on the renewable energy sector with East of England experts.
CWind shared insights into its own experience of growing a business in the offshore wind supply chain with the delegation over coffee and tea at the Brightlingsea Yacht Club. Tim Smith, Sales Manager at CWind presented on the types of services that the industry requires in constructing and maintaining offshore wind farms, highlighting also the regulatory health and safety requirements crucial in the sector. The presentation was followed by a visit to CTruk's manufacturing facilities in Brightlingsea, where the flagship CTruk 20T MPCs are built.
Among the delegation were engineering companies, fishermen and professional services companies, as well as representatives from First Flight Wind, the consortium developing a wind farm off the coast of Co Down.

Big "Z" Returns to The Game
Carlos Zambrano got into his first game action since his infamous dugout meltdown at U. S. Cellular Field on June 25th, throwing a perfect 1-2-3 second inning (12 pitches - 10 strikes) at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa tonight.
The AZL Cubs lost the game 2-1, as the AZL Royals scored two runs in the top of the 6th off RHP Luis Liria (4 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 6/4 GO/FO, 58 pitches - 37 strikes) to overcome a 1-0 deficit.
Iowa Cubs RHP Jeff Gray (groin strain) got the start for the AZL Cubs, throwing one inning (12 pitches - 9 strikes) in what was his second rehab outing in three days (he threw an inning for the AZL Cubs this past Saturday night also). Gray struck out Cameron Connor (swinging) to lead-off the game, before surrendering a one-out single to Daniel Mateo. Gray then got out of the inning when Michael Antonio grounded into a room-service 6-4-3 DP. Gray has been on the I-Cubs DL since May 31st, and looks to be about ready to return to Des Moines.
There wasn't much Cubs offense tonight, as Royals pitchers limited the Cubs to just one run on four hits, retiring 10 of the last 11 Cub hitters. The Cubs scored their lone run in the bottom of the 4th when Albert Hernandez and Ryan Cuneo singled, advanced a base a piece on a well-executed double-steal, before Hernandez scored on a WP.
Here is Zambrano's inning, pitch-by-pitch:
JIN-HO SHIN at bat:
1. strike one (looking)
2. strike two (looking)
3. foul
4. foul
5. foul
6. ball one
7. IN PLAY: 5-3 ground out
HENRY MORENO at bat:
1. strike one (foul)
2. strioke two (swinging)
3. strike three (looking)
YSMELIN ALCANTARA at bat:
1. ball one
2. IN PLAY: 5-3 ground out
"Z" looked very good tonight, throwing all of his pitches for strikes, with good sink on his two-seamer. He will supposedly be moving up to Iowa later this week.
After his one inning of work, Zambrano went out to the bullpen and threw an additional 15 or so pitches, signed some autographs along the RF foul line, and then retired to the Cubs dugout to hang with the kids.
One thing about Carlos Zambrano... he sure doesn't play The Big Shot Major Leaguer when he's down here. I half expected him to help the off-duty AZL Cubs pitchers chase down foul balls in the stands.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
Thanks as always, Phil. The way Silva has pitched the last two times out, there may be a starting spot waiting for Zambrano after all.
On an unrelated note, my mini rant on Twitter about the kid who seemed to be bullied into throwing back Ryan Howard's home run ball Sunday night earned us a link, though not a direct mention, on the Big League Stew blog at Yahoo. (Click on the word "goaded.)
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
If Silva is going to start pitching like Silva, maybe Zambrano will start pitching like Zambrano.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
So maybe it was something of a Freaky Friday situation the whole time?
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
FIRE HENDRY! ...and the rest of his inept crew too.
Cubs are the least efficient team in baseball
- The Cubs rank last among 30 teams thus far in 2010, requiring $2.07 million in payroll per win, and underperforming their projected win total by 9 games.
- Filtering out teams with winning records, the 2nd and 3rd least efficient teams thus far in 2010 are the Baltimore Orioles and Seattle Mariners...both of whom have required approximately $1.5 million in payroll per win.
Additionally, the Orioles and Mariners surpass the Cubs in terms of underperforming relative to projected win totals. The Orioles are the worst at 14 games below projected wins, while the Mariners are 10 games below projection.
When you consider that the only reason Jim Hendry has a job at all is thanks to the present General Manager of the hapless Baltimore Orioles is it any wonder why the Cubs are in their present mess? Jim Hendry was MacFail's protege. He learned everything he knows about being a GM from Andy.... and it shows.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
so a guy took # of wins, divided it by payroll, and wrote a few hundred words about it?
wow, now that's a slow news day.
Off Topic but interesting
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
Lou announced he's retiring at the end of the season.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
I thought he retired at the end of 2008?
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
And now Lou follows Rob G into retirement : ^)
Hopefully, Hendry and his toadies are next.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
Is Ryno ready for the big leagues?
Bruce Levine (1:43 PM)
He's done everything he can as far as getting experience. I've talked to scouts who have watched his game, and I'm told he runs a good baseball game. That's a question better asked of Hendry and the Ricketts after this season.
Better chance of managing the Cubs next year- Sandberg, Girardi, or other?
Bruce Levine (1:57 PM)
I think Sandberg should get a lot of consideration. Another name that keeps coming up is Washington third base coach Pat Listach. He coached in the Cubs organization and is highly thought of throughout baseball.
From his chat today. Other stuff as well.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
not retired. just been deterred by the paying job for about 3 months now and that should run through the end of August. It's truly been the project from hell.
the team sucking ass hasn't helped things on my end either.
in good news, Cubnut and AZ Phil have really stepped it up and I couldn't be more appreciative.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
Really glad to hear the "not retired" answer. I was a-feared that the Cubs had sucked you into lethargy/inactivity/burn-out land.
I get up in the morning because of this blog.
I look forward to when you return to more active status. Stay strong.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
I look forward to when you return to more active status.
It'll be like making a midseason trade.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
what a nice way of saving him from getting fired.
I suppose there's little chance it won't be Ryno unless they hire a new GM too, which they should.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
I would think Hendry staying would increase Ryno's odds of getting the job. Hendry has spoken highly of Ryno and advanced him through the minors.
A new GM would likely have no relationship with Ryno, and unless Ricketts forces whoever the GM is to hire Ryno, the new GM probably has his own candidates in mind.
That said, I still think there's a good chance Hendry gets fired.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
I think that's what I said or was trying to...
if they let Hendry stay, I'm sure it's Ryno. If they hire a new GM, they should let that GM pick whomever he thinks would be the right fit.
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
You don't think Gray will go straight back to the big leagues?
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
Yeah, I suppose you're right. I am just seeing guys like Atkins, Howry and Berg pitch and thinking "He can't be that bad."
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game
lou quits...who's on deck?
Re: Big "Z" Returns to The Game

"Like the Chapman deal for Cubs from on-field POV, wish I didn't now have to feel lousy following an otherwise likable Cubs team." @jonahkeri
pretty much sums up my feelings
You mean Yankees?
Cards lose!
You do have a point. The TheoJed certainly would need to address this in a transparent way. Milton Bradley was no help to the team.
FWIW, the Cubs would get a compensation draft pick between the 1st & 2nd rounds (around #35) if they extend a Qualifying Offer to Chapman post-2016 (probably about $17M), Chapman declines, and then he signs with another MLB club before next year's draft.
This all assumes Chapman doesn't want to be a free agent and possibly sign a $20MM+/year deal. We all know free agents get overpaid, sometimes dramatically (Hello, JayHey!). Not sure why Chapman would agree to the extension. If i'm is agent, I would tell him I could get I'm a $100M deal as a FA.
I'll root for the uniform and imagine it's left-handed Rod Beck or Randy Myers out there I suppose.
Amen to this. I guess it's gonna happen and I'm gonna have to suck it up but I really despise domestic abusers with every bone in my body and cannot stand them on any team I root for.
I just prefer they don't acquire players that choke their wives/girlfriends.
So you'd rather go with Blown Save guy, when you can trade a prospect who is blocked for one piece that could get you over the top to the Big Dance? That is pretty old thinking. This is not a move that they cannot recover from if it goes south. But the upside is potentially historic.
I'd prefer it not happen too.
it's a hell of a blockbuster, but it's for a guy who pitches 1/3rd of a season at an extreme premium considering the guy being traded and if the early extension $$$ rumors are true.
it's one of those things that is bringing a guy at the top his game, but something is nagging me that this trade piece could have been put to better use.
a huge part of me is all "hell yeah, top of the line producer"...another part of me is "hmm, that for that?"
Still don't want. Kinda hope they can't work out the extension.
obviously not, and I'm sure they did their homework...just hope they have some better answers than the Yankees
Chapman 12+ Career WAR. Currently 4.7:1 k-BB. With Rondon/Chapman/Strop/Nathan/Montgomery/Wood...Its the best pen I can recall other than Sutter or Lee Smith handling things themselves.
Its gonna suck if he gets injured, and it appears he's not the greatest of characters.
But, he'll have another Cuban to hang out with on the team.
I agree with the names you mention but there are lots of names being tossed around still and there's that small matter of Chapman agreeing to the extension.

The Baja 5B 1-5th scale (32-inch) off-road buggy kit is ready to go. It runs on standard petrol and comes with a preassembled chassis, prepainted body shell, preinstalled 23cc petrol engine, and preinstalled FM radio gear with built-in 6V receiver pack and charger. A great gift priced at £800 (smaller models are available).
Implications - Consumers are seeking thrills wherever they can find them and this off-road buggy is a great example of one way they are adding excitement to their lives. Living on the edge has always been appealing to consumers, but now "the edge" has gotten a lot more edgy and dangerous. Brands should experiment with this concept as it evolves.

HTITM Emergency Hydration Kits turn ANY water source into clean, safe, electrolyte - enriched sports drink!
It's safe, it's simple and it utilizes the same technology used by American troops to stay hydrated! HTITM has worked with the U.S. Military and numerous disaster-relief agencies to provide the most advanced hydration system in the world... the result is forward osmosis filtration, a process that requires NO pumping, and removes viruses, bacteria, heavy metals and cysts, leaving only clean, safe, electrolyte-enriched sports drink.
You can use literally ANY water source... a contaminated stream, a ditch, even a puddle. The forward osmosis filtration works unimpeded in even the thickest, most turgid water, and will never clog.
It's a must for camping and emergencies, and it offers the highest purity levels of ANY filter on the market today! Why trust your safety and the safety of your family to anything less?
Check out below for more details. Find the Kit that works for your needs and order ONLINE now!

Slight Harp
Electronic music would not have been the same without the contributions of minimalist pioneers such as John Cage, Steve Reich, Robert Moog and the late Karlheinz Stockhausen. You can hear their influence coursing through the work of artists as diverse as the Velvet Underground right on through to later electro-adventurists like This Heat. Slight Harp (due at Rhinoceropolis on Saturday, February 2) is also firmly rooted in that hallowed soil. The group's use of white noise and samples recalls the sound collages favored by more modern acts such as Broadcast and M83. A bit like the dreamy shoegazers of Slowdive, this trio of experimentalists has fashioned a sound that relies on synths, a theremin and turntables rather than copious amounts of delay or traditional rock instrumentation. The resulting improvised compositions sound like theme music to sunlight dappled daydreams.

Blogs are fast becoming a channel for corporations to communicate with an audience, either internally or externally. "Blogging in the Enterprise," a study conducted by GuideWireGroup for iUpload, says as many as 89 percent of companies currently blog or plan to start in the near future.
Over half the respondents have launched one or more blogs within the last year, and 10 percent have blogged for over three years. The study finds a higher adoption rate among smaller companies. Fifty-eight percent of corporate blogs represent companies with less than 100 employees, while companies with over 1,000 employees take up 16 percent of the blogosphere's corporate segment. The same trend rings true from a revenue standpoint; companies with under $100 million in revenues account for 45 percent of corporate blogs.
Small businesses and corporations are embracing blogs both as internal and external lines of communication. Of the 55 percent of corporations that have adopted blogs, 91.4 percent use the channel for internal employee communications, and 96.6 percent for external dialog.
Several factors account for the benefits of an internal blog. Sixty-three percent of respondents say knowledge sharing is a key advantage. Internal communications is cited by 44 percent. Thirty percent utilize blogs for project management. Twenty-three percent use blogs to share personal knowledge management, and another 23 percent for event logging. A further 20 percent say it's an effective tool for team management.
External blogs put a face on corporate communications. Sixty-one percent use public blogs for PR and marketing, and another 61 percent for thought leadership. Over 30 percent of respondents say their CEO blogs, and 35 percent use blogs for regular customer and partner communications.
CEO blogs can work for different audiences, either within the company or for the public. "There are CEOs that want to be more transparent on the public Internet, and others who want to share information with their staff," iUpload VP of strategy and CTO David Carter told ClickZ Stats. "The CEO of McDonalds is challenged every day to keep a channel of communications open and a blog is a great place to do that."
Despite the drive to create and maintain corporate blogs, many barriers still exist. Technology is only a small hurdle. Forty-two percent of respondents cite maintaining enthusiasm for the blog project as a top barrier, 36 percent find encouraging adoption a hindrance. Thirty percent of respondents admit technological problems are a concern. Establishing an editorial policy is an issue for 14 percent of respondents, and dealing with inappropriate comments or content worries an equal share of respondents. Enlisting management support is a problem for 18 percent of those surveyed.
"One of the fears is that guidelines are a way to solve any potential blogging problems, the same guidelines should be in place as any company guideline," said Carter. "Any code of conduct you have for communicating to the public should apply to blogging."
Respondents in the survey represent a cross-section of industries including aerospace, banking, communications, consumer package goods, educations, energy, and insurance. Within these industries, 16 percent of respondents come from the advertising and marketing department, eight percent work in the computers and electronic manufacturing departments of their company, and another eight percent in professional services. The survey was completed by 140 respondents and was conducted in September of this year.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
DOJ Admits Aaron's Prosecution was Political
"Keep in mind that Aaron did not in fact distribute the articles he downloaded from JSTOR. Keep in mind that he had the legal right to download each and every one of those articles individually. Keep in mind that the Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto that the DOJ cites was written by a group, not by Aaron individually, several years before Aaron's actions — and take it from me that several years could be an eternity in the evolution of Aaron's political views. Keep in mind that many independent commentators made an extremely plausible case that Aaron was interested in doing statistical research on the archive of articles, not distributing them.* And keep in mind that the government's ONLY evidence that Aaron wanted to distribute the articles was this co-authored manifesto."

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
If you have no periodic sync setup, Sync will happen if your code explicitly calls

If the server database changes, your app won't know, because sync isn't happening. Two options:

Ellen DeGeneres will prepare for the Oscars with a shower, sit-ups and a good stretch.
The beloved comedienne is hosting the 86th Annual Academy Awards this Monday.
And DeGeneres admits she follows a few rituals to get her blood flowing so she can put on a good show.
"I like to shower. I like to shower first and comb my hair," she deadpanned to E! News.
"I like to smell good. I'll put something that smells good on. My breath, I like to do a mint of some sort. And I'll do a couple of sit-ups and push-ups. That's what I do. And I stretch."
Behind the scenes, DeGeneres's wife Portia de Rossi will be cheering her on.
"She gets nervous for me," the funnywoman confessed.
DeGeneres also laughed that audiences can expect more than the usual amount of costume changes.
She's apparently planning to step her style game up to the max after getting offers to wear several designers
"I'm going to change every other sentence. I have so many things to wear!" she joked.
DeGeneres, in a moment of seriousness, said viewers can expect to see her in designs by Hedi Slimane of St. Laurent. She's a big fan of the French fashion designer's work.
"He's made some gorgeous, beautiful suits," she said, adding, "And I'm very honoured and flattered that he wanted to put clothes on me. So I'll be changing a few times."
DeGeneres has also been gearing up for Hollywood's biggest night by releasing a series of promotional videos.
In a clip released late last month, the star mocked how frequently actors are cut off by music in the middle of their acceptance speeches.
DeGeneres previously received an Emmy nomination for hosting the awards show back in 2007.
She follows in the footsteps of legendary Academy Award presenters including Billy Crystal, Jon Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, James Franco and Anne Hathaway.
Oscar executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron recently said they were "thrilled" to have her on board.
"As a longtime friend, we had always hoped to find a project for us to do together, and nothing could be more exciting than teaming up to do the Oscars," they said in a joint statement.
"There are few stars today who have Ellen's gift for comedy, with her great warmth and humanity. She is beloved everywhere, and we expect that the audience at the Dolby Theatre, and in homes around the globe, will be as excited by this news as we are."
