Boeing CEO's pay falls in 2013, but he pockets more than $39M
Boeing chairman and CEO Jim McNerney saw his total compensation shrink 15 percent last year, but the cash he realized almost doubled to more than $39 million. BCA chief Ray Conner, meanwhile, is no longer among the company's five best-paid executives.
Seattle Times business reporter
Boeing Chairman and CEO Jim McNerney's total compensation was $23.3 million in 2013, a 15 percent drop from the previous year when the value of his pension plan got a big bump.
But McNerney actually took home $39.2 million, nearly twice the amount realized in 2012, as he cashed in $20 million in stock options and saw some $4.3 million in stock awards vest last year, Boeing said in a securities filing Friday.
McNerney's base salary of $1.9 million was the same as last year; the value of stocks and options awards also remained essentially the same as in 2012, at $7.5 million.
His so-called non-equity incentive plan compensation, which includes long-term incentive pay, was slightly higher, at $12.9 million, up from $10.8 million in 2012. The company, however, didn't report any change in the value of McNerney's pension in 2013. In 2012, the pension's worth had seen a $6.3 million boost.
Dennis Muilenburg, elevated in December from defense-division CEO to president and chief operating officer of Boeing, also saw his total compensation drop to $7.7 million from $11.9 million, on lower stock awards and a smaller increase in pension value than the previous year.
Ray Conner, the Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO, didn't make the company's list of five highest paid executives this year. In 2012 he earned $7.8 million, the fifth highest among the seven Boeing listed, including two who were retiring.
The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that the compensation of the chief executive, the chief financial officer and the three other most highly paid executives be disclosed in annual proxy statements.
Other executives included in the 2013 compensation report were Chief Financial Officer Gregory Smith, with total compensation of $3.6 million; Shepard Hill, president of Boeing International, $7.2 million; and Chief Technology Officer John Tracy, $6.8 million.
Boeing said the board's compensation committee determined that the company's $7.6 billion in profits between 2011 and 2013 were above the targeted amount of $6.2 billion, resulting in higher performance-based payouts for executives.
The profit boost resulted from increased commercial airplane deliveries in the 737, 777 and 787 programs, as well as cost savings and risk management.
In January, the world's largest aircraft maker obtained major contract concessions from the Machinists union in Washington state after threatening to take work for the 777X program elsewhere.

Bobby Bare on the Porter Wagoner Show, 1966:

He didn't write the song - it was written by Tompall Glaser and Harlan Howard - but Bobby Bare was the first to record it.

Best known in the Gram Parsons version from his 1971 GP album - as featured in The Wire.

Yet another tale of a decent hard-workin' man whose woman only has eyes for the bright lights: a standard theme not just of Country, but even more perhaps of the Blues. Jimmy Reed was there five years before:

Bright lights, big city, gone to my baby's head...

The Blues connection is even clearer in Bare's first hit, the 1964 Detroit City. Great lyrics...by day I make the cars, by night I make the bars...but heading north out of the cotton fields to work in Detroit's motor industry was more of a black than a white experience, I'd have thought. Though the line about "Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City" would perhaps have rung a little hollow coming from a black singer.

A sign of the times:

Real Madrid have removed the cross from their club crest as part of a lucrative three-year deal with the National Bank of Abu Dhabi.

It is believed the European champions' new crest, minus the Christian cross, was created so as not to offend Muslim sensibilities in the United Arab Emirates, where a marketing drive will take place.

Club president Florentino Perez labelled the deal as a "strategic alliance with one of the most prestigious institutions in the world".

With the Qatar World Cup in 2022, it looks like the Emirates' bid to buy their place in world sport - especially football - is going remarkably well.

They do like their child preachers in the Middle East, don't they? Here's a little charmer from Syria, with a familiar message:

Make haste and purchase your place in Paradise, my dear brother. Go to the battlefields of Jihad and kill the enemies. Kill Basher Al-Assad and the enemies of Allah and of our religion. Destroy them, and if you die, you will become a martyr.  […]

The martyr will be married off to 72 wives from among the black-eyed virgins. Indeed, he will be married off to 72 black-eyed virgins. Indeed, how beautiful is martyrdom, brother.  […]

See how men today chase half-naked women, and forget all about the black-eyed virgins, any of whom can light everything between Heaven and Earth with a look or a smile. So what's the point of chasing the women of this world? Forget about those women. Go for the black-eyed virgins. How can you be chasing half-naked women, and forget about those who are much prettier? Dear brother, if you want a beautiful woman, make haste towards, the black-eyed virgins.

The Law Society has now withdrawn its controversial guidelines for solicitors on drawing up sharia-compliant wills, after facing a barrage of criticism when they were introduced back in March:

Andrew Caplen, president of the society, apologised and said the criticism had been taken on board....

Mr Caplen's predecessor as president, Nicholas Fluck, strongly resisted criticism of the guidelines when details were published in March.

But in a short statement the society said it now had decided to withdraw them in light of "feedback" from the public and lawyers themselves.

"Our practice note was intended to support members to better serve their clients as far as is allowed by the law of England and Wales," said Mr Caplen.

"We reviewed the note in the light of criticism.

"We have withdrawn the note and we are sorry."

Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the National Secular Society, who campaigned for the guidelines to be withdrawn, said: "This is an important reverse for what had seemed to be the relentless march of sharia to becoming de facto British law.

"Until now, politicians and the legal establishment either encouraged this process or spinelessly recoiled from acknowledging what was happening.

"I congratulate the Law Society for heeding the objections we and others made.

"This is particularly good news for women who fare so badly under sharia law, which is non-democratically determined, non-human rights compliant and discriminatory code."

Nick Cohen:

Even by the low standards of English lawyers, the men and women who run the Law Society have behaved like shameless hypocrites. Instead of confining themselves to offering professional advice, they set themselves up as Islamic theologians.

In a practice note on Sharia-compliant wills, the Law Society advised the 125,000 solicitors in England and Wales to urge Muslim clients to discriminate against women, non-Muslims, adopted children and 'illegitimate' children.

'Male heirs [should] in most cases receive double the amount inherited by a female heir,' it said, and 'non-Muslims may not inherit at all'. Likewise 'illegitimate and adopted children are not Sharia heirs' and should not be left a penny.

The Law Society was not upholding the old Common Law principle of 'testamentary freedom' – that we are free to dispose of our wealth as we please, however eccentric our decisions may seem to our friends or children. On the contrary, it was upholding one version of Sharia (it never said which reactionary cleric provided it) and telling lawyers to instruct Muslim clients, who may be weak or close to death, that the Law Society's was the true religious way to dispose of their property....

Across the liberal world, you can find supposed anti-racists displaying the racist belief that women with brown skins should have fewer rights than women with white skins. Objectively, the liberals who deny rights and go along with oppression are not so different from the imperialists of the 19th century. What marks them as something new is their multicultural belief that the  liberal, righteous and 'culturally sensitive' way to behave is not to demand fair treatment for all but to cave into the demands of religious misogynists, as long as – and this is an important caveat you must remember at all times – those religious misogynists do not threaten the interests of white middle-class women....

A victory, then. And not a small one either. Because of the campaigning of secular lawyers and feminist activists, Muslim women will not have the entire English and Welsh legal profession working against their interests when their men die. The rest of us, meanwhile, should know that we should savour our victories when they come and can sit back and enjoy the spectacle of anti-racist racists in full retreat.

[Photos © Dorothy Bohm Archive]

A Lithuanian Jewish refugee from the Nazis, now approaching her 90th birthday - interview in the Telegraph:

England, she tells me, was her salvation. 'It's the best country, I can tell you that – and I've lived in a number of them,' she states. 'Why? Because of the people.' At 15 she arrived at a boarding school in Ditchling in East Sussex. 'There was a programme on the BBC of the quintessential villages of England and Ditchling was the first one,' she tells me. 'I had no English at all. I was sitting with the six-year-olds.' She learnt the language in a year and got her school certificate.

From Ditchling she went to London, where an apprenticeship at a photographic studio on Baker Street was scuppered by the Blitz. 'I was there for two weeks. There was no anti-aircraft and my love of London is partly due to the fact that I saw how people behaved. Fantastically. They helped each other; they were good to each other,' she says. 'People didn't panic. How come, since we now know how close we were to losing the war, we never doubted that it would be won? 'I believed that every human being has something beautiful. And quite often, when I'd taken the portrait, I saw what I didn't see before'

Laylah Hussain, in the Times (£), recalls her time in an Islamic school near Nottingham, where she was sent aged 11:

[M]y mother sought to protect me from the secular culture she thought could ruin my education and prospects. She is a deeply spiritual woman and wanted me to have an Islamic education, not based upon her own adaptable, tolerant South Asian faith but on the literalist Saudi Arabian Salafism she saw preached on Islamic TV channels, which presents itself as "pure". She wanted me to become an alima, an Islamic scholar. There was kudos in having such a child, akin to how old Italian families were proud if their son became a priest. I was only 11 years old when she sent me to an Islamic boarding school, recommended by family friends, 120 miles away. My mum kept saying I would become the jewel in her crown. I was packed off with kisses, lots of sweets and bottles of Coke, treated as special in a way that enraged my young siblings.

The Jamia Al-Hudaa school is on top of a hill overlooking Nottingham, although in the following five years I would not visit the city except to see a dentist or doctor. It is a big crumbling Victorian place, a former sanatorium with peeling paint and coarse carpets. It contained 180 girls, most, like me, of Pakistani descent.

Our school principal was a man. We and the all-female teachers veiled our faces when he addressed us. His wife, the head teacher, was a stern, tall woman who floated silently about, seemingly trying to catch us breaking a rule. Our uniform was a floor-length maroon jilbaab and we had to keep our heads covered with a black hijab everywhere except the residential corridors and our bedrooms. I'd never worn Islamic dress before: I'd been going through a goth/skater girl phase back home.

I was so unhappy, for the first year I tried everything I could to get expelled: I skipped lessons, wouldn't do my homework, argued, made too much noise. But my teachers liked me. I was smart and, because I have a huge hunger for learning, listened in class.

The curriculum was far from that of an ordinary British school. It promises "a new identity which will keep them attached to their Islamic values". In our first year we learnt Arabic, the medium in which "Islamic sciences" are taught. These include Islamic law, Islamic history, Koranic recitation, Koranic interpretation, the sayings of Muhammad (hadith), a subject dedicated to explaining how Islamic scholars compiled the sayings of Muhammad (usool al-hadith). On top of that we prayed five times a day; sometimes, depending on the time of sunrise, as early as 4am.

The school included the basics of the national curriculum. Besides two hours a day of Arabic, we studied maths, English, RE and ICT (computer technology). We learnt science but without any discussion of evolution, which I didn't learn until long after I left the school. Pakistani children took Urdu and older girls were offered textiles.

The school wanted to get our GCSEs out of the way as early as possible so we could focus on our intensive Islamic studies. I took Maths, Arabic and Urdu GCSE. I got a B in maths – I think I would have done better later on, but there was no chance of a retake. I failed ICT and couldn't retake that either. Once you sat the exam, the subject ended.

I don't remember being taught European history. I left school not knowing about the world wars; I could not point to Pakistan on a map. We were taught Islamic history, which I know not to be history at all, but the stories of prophets and of Muhammad compiled from oral tradition. We were not taught how and why historians collect data: I believed oral tradition was the best source. Islamic law is a detailed study of Sharia, which provides rules to govern every minute detail of your life. I learnt, for example, that you must always step into the lavatory with your left foot first and eat with your right hand....

There was no sense that we would ever go out into wider British society; we would live our entire lives within a Muslim bubble. Study of Islamic law was to ensure that we would conduct our lives through Sharia courts: after all, Sharia is God's word; British justice is just the word of man. And we were certainly not equipped for careers, because the Islamic curriculum has no real academic merit. But even as alimas we could not earn a living as male scholars can, working for Sharia councils as judges, or as imams. Women can only teach children or follow Sharia in their daily lives.

After expulsion from the school, and a year spent in another Islamic school in Pakistan - less strict, in fact, than the British school - she became "more bigoted" than ever, wearing the veil, full of self-righteousness.

Then, right at the end of my year in Pakistan, my sister called me up at 11pm and said Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows had come out. She'd borrowed a car and was going to buy a copy. Would I like to come? I couldn't resist and all the way home on the plane I read the book, feeling full of my old joy, some of my religious zeal ebbing away.

When we touched down in Britain I removed my veil at the airport and never wore it again. I felt a surge of doubt about my faith. But at home, as an alima, I was expected to be more Muslim than anyone else. After all my religious schooling, people assumed I would pray regularly, wear a jilbaab and not listen to music. I felt I was placed on a pedestal and should never dare to come down.

But I had to dare – I was being strangled up there. I had no sense of myself, no idea where I belonged. I did not feel Pakistani, British or Muslim any more. The faith that shackled me began to fall away as I decided to take control of my own life and identity.

I realised the vast holes in my education. What I had learnt in Islamic school was not useful unless I wanted to follow Islamic moral codes. I know I am not unintelligent, but realising I was ignorant of basic history and science made me feel ashamed.

So I started to read. First, at my local library, I tackled Darwinism. I had been taught this was a lie created by scientists and in Pakistan I'd read Adnan Oktar, an Islamic creationist who believes Darwinism is the root cause of fascism. But when I opened the Encyclopaedia Britannica to read a fluid description of man's ascent, I was filled with awe.

I decided to take A levels, but I was not able to do maths or science because it was too long after I'd done my GCSE. I settled for English, sociology and psychology, and pored myself into my studies, reading voraciously to teach myself the basics of British history. I won a place at Brunel University to study English and there my mind took flight. I'd no idea atheists existed until I discovered Richard Dawkins. I remember reading The God Delusion on the Tube wearing a headscarf and jilbaab, Muslim women sitting opposite giving me strange looks. Here, for the first time since primary school, I made friends with non-Muslims. Because I felt I had so much to prove, I worked hard and got a first.

I have lost my faith entirely now....

To be an apostate carries a death sentence in some countries. Here in Britain, many ex-Muslims are harassed and threatened. But I feel it is my duty to speak out about the private Islamic school system that ruined my education and restricted my future. I cannot understand why the British government allows girls of 11 to be put into schools that set them on a course of separation from mainstream society, to live according to Sharia principles, which can discriminate against them in divorce, inheritance and legal testimony. Because my school was private it did not face the same scrutiny from Ofsted.

It is assumed that girls from my background are happy to be controlled by religious institutions. Ofsted's guidelines for inspecting faith schools stress that the hijab should not be seen as a symbol of oppression, but as an expression of female modesty. As a woman who felt pressure to wear it, I disagree. Although some women do wear it out of choice, this is not true for girls for whom modesty is part of the school rules.

Children should not be seen only as extensions of their family and faith, but as citizens with the right to integrate and gain a full education. This is also true for children of Christian, Jewish or Hindu parents who are placed in faith schools. How can we expect young people to become free-thinking citizens, for those of faith and non-faith to live side by side, if they are isolated from their peers and leave school prejudiced against other faiths?

A brave and important article.

"I cannot understand why the British government allows girls of 11 to be put into schools that set them on a course of separation from mainstream society, to live according to Sharia principles, which can discriminate against them in divorce, inheritance and legal testimony." Me neither.

It's understandable, if perhaps disappointing, that Layla Hussein is in fact a pseudonym.

Emily Thornberry's tweet from Rochester is a classic Labour Party perfect storm - seemingly trivial in itself but, in today's political context, absolutely toxic.

It's entirely understandable that the wretched woman was unwilling at first to see that she'd done anything wrong, and refused to apologise. After all, what was the harm? - a picture of a terraced house with a white van and two flags of St George outside, and the message image from #Rochester. What's the problem?

But the fact that she felt it was something worth tweeting gives the game away. I take her to mean, basically, "This is what it's like here...racists. The traditional lumpen working class Labour voter in Rochester is prime UKIP material."

And she was absolutely right (well, about them being prime UKIP material anyway). But Labour leaders can't acknowledge that. There's already enough of a problem with the perception of a metropolitan elite out of touch with the white English working class voter. Farage was astute in comparing this with Gordon Brown's 2010 "bigoted woman" gaffe.

Miliband, inevitably, doesn't come well out of it. He forced her to resign for making explicit what everyone suspects that everyone on the Labour front bench actually thinks. The stilted talk of "disrespect" doesn't hide the fact that she had to go because she let the cat out of the bag. And of course the very act of getting rid of her only serves to draw more attention to the whole business.

Farage must be delighted.

A new humanoid robot, "Otonaroid", at a press preview at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Technology in Tokyo on June 24:

[Photo: Yoshikazu Tsuno/AFP/Getty Images]

Supposedly the world's first news-reading android, with a sense of humor even. From a gallery of robots at work and play, from which we learn that the Japanese lead the field in producing disturbingly human-like androids - the very definition of uncanny:

The uncanny (German: Das Unheimliche, "the opposite of what is familiar") is a Freudian concept of an instance where something can be both familiar yet alien at the same time, resulting in a feeling of its being uncomfortably strange. Because the uncanny is familiar, yet incongruous, it often creates cognitive dissonance within the experiencing subject, due to the paradoxical nature of being simultaneously attracted to yet repulsed by an object. This cognitive dissonance often leads to an outright rejection of the object, as one would rather reject than rationalize...

Though I don't see why we should let psychoanalysis claim for itself what is in fact a perfectly understandable phenomenon. It's a face...naturally, we respond. Yet it isn't a face...

Like those optical illusions - now a young woman, now an old woman - except, because a face is our most fundamentally emotional visual connection with another person, and this isn't a person, it's a deeper more troubling experience.

Or something...

Today marks the beginning of RSA conference in San Francisco, and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) has been quick out of the gate with the release of its Top Threats to Cloud Computing Report. This peer-reviewed paper characterizes the top seven threats to cloud computing, offering examples and remediation steps.
The seven threats identified by the CSA are:
- Abuse and Nefarious Use of Cloud Computing
- Insecure Application Programming Interfaces
- Malicious Insiders
- Shared Technology Vulnerabilities
- Data Loss/Leakage
- Account, Service, and Traffic Hijacking
- Unknown Risk Profile
Some of these will certainly sound familiar, but the point is to highlight threats that may be amplified in the cloud, as well as those that are unique to the cloud environment.
This CSA threats report is a true community effort. The working group had representatives from a broad range of cloud providers, infrastructure vendors, and cloud customers, including:
- Oracle
- Bank of America
- Microsoft
- Rackspace
- Verizon
- Cigital
- Qualsys
- Trend Micro
- Websense
- Zscalar
- CloudSecurity.org
- Cloud Security Alliance
- Layer 7 Technologies
I represented Layer 7. I tackled Data Loss/Leakage, and performed some editorial of the paper as a whole. As working groups go, I can tell you that this one simply worked well. I've been involved with a number of standards groups in the past, this time we seemed to have all of the right people involved. The group converged on the key issues quickly and decisively. It was a good process, and I'm happy with the results.
We thing we did debate was how best to rate each threat. We finally agreed that the best approach was to let the community decide You may recall that last week I wrote a blog entry soliciting your input to help classify threat severity. Well, the results are in and they are certainly interesting. Perhaps not surprising, the threat of Data Loss/Leakage leads the community's list of concerns, at around 28%. But what is more intriguing is that there really isn't too much of a difference between the perceived impact of any threat on the list (all fall between around 8-28%). This is encouraging, as it suggests that we nailed the current zeitgeist in our list. It is just a little disconcerting that there remain seven significant threats to consider.
The latest survey results, and the threats paper itself, are available from the CSA web site. Bear in mind that is evolving work. The working group intends to update the list regularly, so if you would like to make a contribution to the cloud community, please do get involved. And remember: CSA membership is free to individuals; all you need to give us is your time and expertise.

I just want to make him a cookie cake that says "you have no chance with me."
Me liking this guy is the best diet ever. Do I want this cookie...or do I want to get laid.
Well I don't think you could recreate that hangover if you tried. It was like the perfect storm of hangovers.
Some bum walked up and watched me getting head last night for like 5 mins before I noticed him
ok, I understand that your bathroom door is broken, but at least close the blinds next time you take a shit. The entire parking garage just watched you.
We got back together. The pastures weren't greener on the other side, the dicks were just smaller
"can of pringles" is totally a legitimate measure of time
They installed a lotion dispenser in the bathroom at work... its like they want me to masturbate on the clock...
You told me to ditch them in the park, and when she jumped onto the car to stop us, you told me to scrape her off against a parked Jeep. That drunk.
Well on the plus side I have started adding benefiber to my bottle of wine
i think he spiked my sandwich with a viagra
Question: would Brian be pissed if I brought his 17 year old sister as my date to the wedding?
The kind of drunk where you put two tampons in thinking that it'll last me longer ...
So it's safe to say that it's all down hill from here

Fashion Photo of the Day 11/4/12 - Faith Hill
November 4
4:44 2012
Related: Faith Hill, Roland Mouret, Apparel
Classic or boring? That is the question I too am battling when I look at Faith Hill in a Roland Mouret gown at the 46th Annual CMA Awards.
Does she look beautiful - yes. Faith Hill is a stunning and statuesque woman. It would be hard to make her NOT look good. And the black and white is classic and chic. But does the cut of the sleeve give it enough of a punch? I don't know. Maybe if she added a statement necklace or amazing drop earrings this look would have been more of a wow and less of a "eh."

UNH skates to 2-2 tie with UMass
UNH Press Release:
John Henrion (Holden, Mass.) scored his 10th goal of the season with under four seconds remaining in regulation to help the fifth-ranked University of New Hampshire men's hockey team claim a 2-2 tie with the University of Massachusetts in Friday night's Hockey East matchup at the Whittemore Center.
UNH moves to 17-8-6 with a 12-7-5 mark in Hockey East play for 29 points, which is one point behind HEA co-leaders Boston College and UMass-Lowell with three games remaining in the regular season. UMass improves to 11-17-3 and 8-14-2 in HEA for 18 points, which is tied with Maine for the league's eighth and final playoff spot.
The Minutemen grabbed a 2-1 lead at 18:55 of the third period when Eddie Olczyk deposited a rebound past Casey DeSmith (Rochester, N.H.) for his third goal of the season. Zack LaRue and Darren Rowe tallied the assists.
The Wildcats pulled DeSmith in favor of an extra attacker, and the move paid off when Eric Knodel (West Chester, Pa.) rifled a slap shot from the high slot that was stopped by Steve Mastalerz. Henrion extended for the rebound, and his put-back from the left side at 19:56 sent the Towse Rink crowd of 4,805 into a state of delirium and forced the Wildcats' fourth overtime game in the last six contests. Knodel and Kevin Goumas (Long Beach, N.Y.) assisted on Henrion's heroic goal.
The Minutemen seized a 1-0 lead at 12:19 of the first when Michael Pereira collected a carom off the end wall and beat DeSmith from the right of the crease for his 13th goal of the season. Conor Allen and Conor Sheary had the assists. UNH outshot UMass 15-11 in the opening period.
The 'Cats tied the score, 1-1, at 10:44 of the second period when Matt Willows (Congers, N.Y.) tipped Knodel's slap shot from the high point into the back of the net for his fourth goal of the season. Knodel and Goumas assisted on the lone power-play goal of the game. The Minutemen held a 15-7 shot advantage in the middle stanza.
The Wildcats held an 8-6 third-period shot advantage, while UMass posted a 5-4 shot edge in overtime for a total shot advantage of 37-34.
DeSmith made 35 saves, and Mastalerz turned aside 32 shots. UNH went 1-for-4 on the power play, and UMass went scoreless on four power-play opportunities.
The Wildcats square off with the Minutemen again Saturday night, March 2 (7 p.m.) at the Whittemore Center.

Report : Nasir Jamshed and Umar Amin make SSGC toil
Players/Officials: Aizaz Cheema | Asad Ali | Ashar Zaidi | Faisal Rasheed | Mohammad Rameez | Sarfraz Ahmed | Umair Khan | Uzair-ul-Haq
Series/Tournaments: Quaid-e-Azam Trophy | Pakistan Domestic Season
Teams: Pakistan
Group A
A five-for from Asad Ali helped Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) gain the early advantage against Khan Research Laboratory (KRL) at the KRL Ground. The 21-year-old right-arm paceman bowled with great venom to take out four of the top six KRL batsmen. He was well supported by Mohammad Hafeez who chipped in with three bottom-order wickets to bowl out the hosts for 198. Hafeez then combined well with Naeemuddin to put on an undefeated opening stand of 51 during the reply.
The left-arm spin of Mohammad Hussain proved too much for second-from-bottom Lahore Shalimar against Pakistan Customs at the Lahore Country Club. Hussain finished with sublime figures of 6.3-1-7-5 as Lahore folded for 114 in 47.2 overs. Once Tahir Mughal had made the intial inroads, Hussain ran through the middle and lower orders, with Lahore's wicketkeeper-captain Ali Raza providing the only fight with 25. In reply, Customs lost Jibran Khan early while Asad Baig retired hurt. But they won't be too troubled at 55 for 1.
Uzair-ul-Haq was also on the list of five-wicket hauls for the day as National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) began well against Sui Southern Gas Corporation (SSGC) at the Iqbal Stadium. Uzair did full justice to captain Naumanullah's decision to field first, accounting for the top five SSGC batsmen. Opener Asif Zakir made a lone fifty as the SSGC innings ended on 182. The NBP openers, Nasir Jamshed and Umar Amin, negotiated the five overs left in the day and took stumps at 19 for no loss.
A disciplined effort from the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) seamers helped them bowl out Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) for 138 at the Gaddafi Stadium. The WAPDA scorecard made for uniform reading as fast bowler Aizaz Cheema struck at either ends - removing the openers and taking out the No. 9 and 10 batsmen. Kamran Sajid accounted for the next three to follow after the openers, while Najaf Shah dismissed the next three. Wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed played no small part, plucking out six catches. PIA lost Khurram Manzoor before ending the day on 51 for 1.
Zarai Tarqiati Bank Limited's (ZTBL's) right-arm fast bowler Kashif Daud picked up 3 for 85 even as the Habib Bank Limited (HBL) batsmen managed sizeable contributions to maintain the balance in the match at the Marghzar Cricket Ground. Put in to bat, opener Saleem Elahi's patient 49 proved to be HBL's top score as Daud dented the middle order. The table-toppers were propped up by a string of thirties from ICL returnee Taufeeq Umar, Kamran Hussain and captain Hasan Raza. But at 232 for 6, the undefeated pair of Abdur Rehman and wicketkeeper Farhan Iqbal will be expected to do more.
Group B
Eighties by Umair Khan and Ashar Zaidi lifted Islamabad to a strong 281 for 5 against Faisalabad at the Diamond Club Ground . The home side openers added 79 and the fourth-wicket stand of 97 took them to a position of strength. Umair made 87 before he was dismissed by Ijaz Ahmed jnr, who took three wickets. Zaidi ended the day in sight og a century with an unbeaten 80.
It was a good contest between bat and ball at the National Stadium as Karachi Blues posted 291 but lost eight wickets to Multan. Shahzaib Hasan got the innings off to a brisk start with a 44-ball 48 but his opening partner Ali Asad went on to score a fifty. Asad Shafiq was the top scorer of the day with 67, at No.3, but the middle order failed to convert their starts. Rizwan Haider, the left-arm seamer, and Zulfiqar Babar, the left-arm spinner, shared five wickets between them to pull things back for Multan.
At the Lahore City Cricket Association Ground , Hyderabad ended the day on a decent 274 for 6 against Lahore Ravi. The openers, Aqeel Anjum and Sharjeel Khan, laid a strong platform with a stand of 102. Hanif-ur-Rehman, batting at No.4, missed his half-century by a run before he was dismissed by Kasjif Siddiq. Shahid Qambrani and Lal Kumar added 80 for the fifth wicket to prop Hyderabad after they lost two wickets in quick succession.
A five-wicket haul by Mohammad Rameez helped Rawalpindi take control against Peshawar at the National Ground in Islamabad. The 19-year-old seamer took four top-order wickets to set Peshawar back. They had lost half their side for 55 and a recovery came in the form of a sixth-wicket stand of 55 between Mohammad Rizwan and Azam Jan, who top scored with 77. Jan got some support from the lower order who helped take the score past 250. Mohammad Ayaz took 3 for 57 while Rameez took another wicket to finish with 5 for 89.
Faisal Rasheed's four-wicket haul led Sialkot's opening day domination against Quetta at the Jinnah Stadium. Quetta were initially in control with a second-wicket stand of 78 but the batting began to fall apart. Shoaib Khan jnr top scored with 94 but lacked support from the middle order. Rasheed cleaned up the lower order to finish with 4 for 35. The Sialkot openers added 11 before stumps were drawn.

Chef James Briscione's career began humbly; he was a football star and dishwasher at a brunch spot in his adolescence. […]
On a paintball field at a luxurious resort, something with a deep, low growl prowls through the undergrowth. A young man is torn to shreds, his screams echoing through the wilderness.
Connor and Cutter show off their anomaly detector to a less-than-impressed Lester and Leek. And as report of a creature attack comes in, the detector shows no sign of an anomaly. Puzzled by the device's apparent failure, Cutter has no time to speculate.
Police have cordoned off the woods along the resort's perimeter of the resort. Cutter and the nervous resort deputy manager, Valerie, insist that the park should be evacuated, but Jenny refuses—it would draw too much press attention.
As the team searches the grounds, the park's unfortunate mascot is attacked and ripped apart. Stephen rushes to the scene and sees the animal: some kind of large cat. After a witness posts pictures of the attack on the internet, Cutter realizes the mystery creature is a Smilodon, or saber-tooth cat.
But where on earth are these creatures coming from? Are they an evolutionary throwback? Or perhaps experimental hybrids? As the Cutter and company follow the Scutosaurus, the creature inadvertently leads the team to the answer: A shimmering distortion in the air, into which the Scut completely disappears.
While setting traps for the Smilodon, they discover a mutilated body in a shallow grave. After a close call with the cat, Cutter finds a photograph in the buried man's wallet. He realizes that the cat had traversed the anomaly as a cub and became stranded—which explains why it didn't register on the detector. He also knows who has been hiding the beast…

Poll: Tom Wolf leads Tom Corbett by 20 points for Pennsylvania governor
A new poll shows Democratic nominee Tom Wolf leading Republican incumbent Tom Corbett by a formidable 20 points in Pennsylvania's gubernatorial campaign.
The survey of 1,308 Pennsylvania voters released Wednesday by Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University shows Wolf backed by 53 percent and Corbett with 33 percent. Eleven percent were undecided.
"The election is five months away, but Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett looks like easy prey for Democratic challenger Tom Wolf," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
The margin is almost identical to Wolf's 52-to-33 percent advantage over Corbett in a hypothetical match-up by Quinnipiac in February. That was months before Wolf won the Democratic nomination with 58 percent of the vote in a four-way primary.
The poll contained little good news for Corbett. Only 29 percent of the respondents said they view him favorably, contrasted with 46 percent who said that about Wolf.
The margin of error for the telephone poll was plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
