White-Collar Roundup: Standridge Delayed, Moser and Washburn Released
Posted 4/21/2014 12:00 am
The recent rash of indictments out of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Little Rock, including that of Rickenbach, reminds us to do some catch-up on other cases of interest:
• The trial of Steve Standridge, the former high-flying insurance agent from Mount Ida, which was scheduled to start last week before U.S. District Judge Susan Hickey in El Dorado has been postponed until Sept. 8.
That's the case brought in November by federal prosecutors for the Western District of Arkansas in which Standridge is charged with wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, bank fraud and making false statements for a total of 23 counts.
The charges stem from a number of loans he got, and attempted to get, from friendly customers under false pretenses as his insurance empire was crumbling in late 2009 and early 2010.
Standridge is separately charged with 12 federal felony counts related to alleged bank fraud in the Eastern District of Arkansas, and that trial is scheduled to start on July 14 before U.S. District Judge Brian S. Miller.
But the motion that Standridge's lawyer in the Western District case, Louis L. Loyd of Malvern, filed in order to get the trial postponed suggests there may be no trials at all because "the U.S. Attorney's office and the Defendant are in negotiations to attempt to reach a global disposition."
• Keith Moser, once one of the go-to tax attorneys in Little Rock, has been released from the federal correctional facility at Forrest City. The federal Bureau of Prisons was no help in determining exactly when he was allowed to leave. His sentence doesn't officially end until June 21, so he may have gone to a halfway house.
Moser pleaded guilty to 13 felony counts in May 2005 in connection with stealing client funds and other bad deeds, including an extortion plot in Detroit. After briefly fleeing to Madagascar he was sentenced to more than 15 years in federal prison, but his sentence was reduced in exchange for testifying against his former law partner, Barry Jewell, who finished serving his time for tax evasion in 2011.
• Dana Washburn, the Rogers property manager and executive recruiter who defrauded IberiaBank Corp. out of almost $3.6 million in 2008 by falsifying collateral, has similarly finished her stint in federal prison in Fort Worth.
Her sentence doesn't officially end until July 30, but we couldn't determine exactly when she got out or where she currently resides.
Washburn — whose husband, Colon, was a Wal-Mart executive and then the developer of the Beau Terre office park in Rogers — agreed to pay $3.58 million in restitution when she pleaded guilty in May 2009 and finally went to prison in August 2011.
She was sentenced to 41 months in prison, but that has apparently been reduced slightly for good behavior. She will still be under court supervision for five years.
Court records don't indicate, and IberiaBank wouldn't say, whether she has paid any of the restitution.

Enterprise And Enbridge To Conduct Open Seasons For Seaway Pipeline Expansion And New Crude Oil Pipeline To Port Arthur/Beaumont Refining Market
In a separate announcement, Enbridge today announced that it is proceeding with its Gulf Coast Access project, which will transport crude oil from Flanagan, Illinois, south to Cushing via an additional line it will construct, and then to Houston and Port Arthur on the Seaway pipeline system joint venture. Enbridge will also hold a concurrent second open season to provide the opportunity for shippers to subscribe for additional capacity from Flanagan all the way to the Texas Gulf Coast.
"Expansion of the Seaway System, complemented by the addition of capacity on Enbridge's systems from the Chicago area to Cushing, gives both U.S. and Canadian producers new and timely options to reach the Gulf Coast," said Patrick D. Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Enbridge Inc.
Enbridge's $1.15 billion acquisition of an interest in Seaway from ConcocoPhillips closed December 20, 2011. Enterprise and Enbridge each own a 50 percent ownership interest in the pipeline system with Enterprise continuing to serve as operator.
Additional information about the open seasons will be available online at www.seawaypipeline.com beginning January 4, 2012. For commercial inquiries, please contact:

Swoon works in a combination of wheat-paste and paper cutout to create life-sized, figurative and graphic street art with strength and femininity. While a great deal of her work has been done outside the confines of a gallery, she was classically trained as a painter before adopting street art techniques.
The artist formerly known as Caledonia Curry studied painting at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and started doing street art around 1999 at age 19. She's also a member of the Justseeds Artists' Cooperative, a grass-roots, decentralized group of artists who believe in art as both personal expression and collective action. This group contributes graphics to struggles for justice, both in the studio and on the streets, collaboratively and individually, all over North America.

Chinese crew rescued as boat burns in Japan
Published on Sep 28, 2012 1:17 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - A dozen Chinese crew members were rescued by Japan's coastguard when their Panama-registered boat caught fire in a Japanese bay, an official said on Friday.
Television footage showed thick smoke pouring from the Hao Han, a 1,999-tonne cargo vessel, as the ship listed badly in waters off Osaka, in Western Japan.
Japan's coastguard, which has recently been heavily involved in a standoff with Beijing over disputed islands in the East China Sea, pulled the crew to safety and was tackling the blaze.
"There were no injuries among the crew," a coastguard spokesman said, adding the first information about the accident had come in on Thursday night.

Firestone is a Franchise and like any Franchise whether it be Firestone or Burger King any business depends on the team of people working at a branch. I have seen the left engine mount fail but I've replaced more front mounts.

Above: Let Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid be a lesson to you - everyone's waiting for you to run out into the open
Trying to drive racing games with the accelerator on full the whole time
There's only one racing game where this might work and that's Burnout. But even then you'll need to tap the brakes to get drifting. Slow down for corners and your car will go faster round the track. Odd, that.
Above: If you're playing a driving game, you'll need this bad boy
Pressing left when Sonic's on the ceiling
He's upside down so the controls are reversed. Get it? So if you're running right and he starts going around a loop, you've got to hold… what? RIGHT.
Above: We haven't included 'running upwards'. Can you guess what it is?
Wondering why PSP's battery runs out so fast with non-use
You've been leaving it on standby, not 'off'. Y'know, instruction booklets are funny things - they instruct you on such wonders.
Above: Standby mode uses power still. Try turning it 'off'
Choosing manual gears and then not shifting up. Ever.
"Why am I going so slowly? Where's everybody gone?"
Above: First gear. 57mph. You're definitely going to win this one
Driving carefully in GTA
Don't worry about the old lady, dad. Or the speed limit. And you don't need to stop at the lights. Erm... shall we play something else?
Above: No-one plays games to sit in traffic, do they?
Trying to play during a cut-scene
It's a story bit. No, just wait a minute. Watch it - it's like a film. Quick - you're playing again! Oh no, you died. Ah well.
Above: Probably best not to let a rookie play an MGS game
Trying to play during the demo
"Oh, I thought I was doing really well"
Above: And then the game just stopped after 30 seconds and went back to the title screen! I think it's broken
Moving the 360 while it's switched on
Because you needed another coaster for your coffee mug, right?
Above: See that coin in the surface? No? That's because it's a RING

What games would a noob buy?
A game store. A handful of cash. And three non-gamers

Choose Between Two Options
- $37 for one 60-minute sensory-deprivation float (a $75 value)
- $109 for three 60-minute sensory-deprivation floats (a $225 value)<p>
Prior to each treatment, a 10-minute orientation elucidates the history and safety of floatation tanks and answers any questions. The client showers before entering the chamber, where 10.5 inches of ultrasaturated Epsom salt water float the body in complete darkness. The chamber is 8.5'x4' to ensure a comfortable, cramp-free experience, and a constant temperature of 93.5 degrees keeps the body cozy and combines with the water to convince the mind that it's floating in air. After the float, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and moisturizer await the salty client. Robes, shoes, and disposable earplugs are provided for each client, and when guests exit into the gallery, the staff greets rejuvenated bodies with water and hot tea. View tips on how to prepare for your float session here.
FLOAT Floatation Center & Art Gallery
Though FLOAT's neon sign is small and easy to miss in the window of a converted historic cotton mill, its interior is anything but unremarkable. The artist-owned urban art spa stimulates the mind with work from established and rising local artists and submerges clients in warm, dark chambers that relieve bodies of their senses. These floatation therapy sessions enhance relaxation and open up channels of creativity, freeing brains from the incessant digital stimulation and algebraic speed-limit signs of the outside world. While enclosed inside the tank, clients float in a weightless state in a solution composed of 1,000 pounds of medical-grade Epsom salts and water. There, air, water, and skin become alike—refreshing the nerves while recharging the mind more efficiently than sleep. Complementing floatation sessions are massage services that enhance already relaxed states.

text: HomeTVGeneral HospitalGeneral Hospital's Leslie Charleson Placed On Recurring Jillian Bowe August 24, 2010 General Hospital 50 Comments Another Quatermaine gets sent to the back of the bus. ABC Soaps In Depth is reporting General Hospital star Leslie Charleson (Monica) is off contract and on recurring status. This news should not be a shocker to some GH viewers as Charleson has been seen less and less on the canvas. 50 Responses Ryan-Scott August 25, 2010 Sad but really not surprising. Way to treat your longest running cast member. She joined GH in 1977 you know kids. Elvis had just died. I've read that in several of her interviews. Log in to Reply aramis270 August 25, 2010 So sad … I am so pissed ! But Leslie, to get airtime you need to get your character change her lastname from Quartermaine to FALCONERI … I am just mad that Guza has turned GH into the Sonny and Dante show (and soon the Sonny/Dante/Brenda show). Log in to Reply wjhboy73 August 25, 2010 Keep pissing off long time viewers by getting rid of vets, watch ratings drop to a 1.5, continue running over budget….at some point someone with a brain for business at ABC will pull the plug…. Log in to Reply siomonstuart2003 August 25, 2010 Agree, aramis, Guza and Frons suck. Log in to Reply NathanHastingsSr. August 25, 2010 such a shame… Log in to Reply TV Gord August 25, 2010 When I was watching GH, the Quarterbrains were the main reason why I stuck with it. The gangster element was nothing but FF-fodder for me. It's just awful, what they're doing to this show. Log in to Reply GH LOVER August 25, 2010 Great post Aramis THIS IS SUCKS BIG TIME!!! And I know many fans will get pissed!!! the Q's are big in GH history and they way they treat them is awful!!!!!!!!!!!! Log in to Reply Ryan-Scott August 25, 2010 What would be great is if she gets a contract role on another show which shakes up GH to re-hire her when that contract concludes. Did they learn nothing when they pulled this on John Ingle a few years ago and he went to Days for awhile as Mickey? Log in to Reply inspiron August 25, 2010 SAD..I don't know why they do this to the Qs. But no one has a SL on GH. They say the same crap to each other over and over again. What can we do about ABC soaps? Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 August 25, 2010 I thought she already WAS on recurring….. Heck, we're lucky to see Monica once every two months. What now?? Once a year like Jackie Zeman??? ANOTHER talented veteran who has been essentially "put out to pasture." But the writers clearly HATE the character of Monica, what with them killing off Emily, AJ and Alan. And then they bring on Rebecca, who COULD'VE been a substitute daughter for her, and then they ship her outta town, even though Natalia Livingston was an EMMY-winning fan favorite!!! And she's NEVER around to support her grandson, Michael. The writers couldn't even have been bothered to even write a few scenes for her during Michael's TRIAL or his imprisonment. Well, they did, but they were basically a JOKE. What is there really left for her to do??? They have shown little to NO respect to the character over the past decade. I find it extremely sad.

Log in to Reply us312471 August 25, 2010 Maybe if Leslie Charleson hadn't had so much plastic surgery and was a bit better actor, they would have her on more. Has she ever been up for an Emmy? I can't recall, yet she looks a mess. Not as bad as Jackie Zeman who is horrible. Kate Linder (YandR) same thing. Why can't these "stars" take care of them selves and grow old naturally, like most people? None of them are great actors, so all they had was their looks and now all three are a joke and seen very little. They deserve to be on recurring. Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 August 25, 2010 US312471– Yeah, she's been nominated 4 times for an Emmy over the years, and she was HEAVILY favored to win in 1995 for Monica's breast cancer storyline, but Erika Slezak pulled an upset. She's truly one of daytime's most UNDERRATED actresses. Back in the 80s, she got all the heavy duty storylines, but now TPIC must find her services to be either too expensive or not necessary—especially with Vanessa Marcil back on the canvas, and James Franco. I am willing to bet that NEITHER of them are working for chump change. And the other show hogs like Maurice Benard and Steve Burton are probably also being paid a pretty penny. This MIGHT be a financial decision, but I really do think Guza and Phelps hate the character of Monica. They have dismantled the character's life, leaving her with practically nothing. Log in to Reply Patchworks August 25, 2010 Umm, @us312471, are you serious or being obnoxiously provocative??? For shame! Surely you know that Leslie Charleson was nominated for a Best Actress Emmy under Claire Labine's writing. Surely you know that Jackie Zeman was nominated for a Supporting Actress Emmy under Claire Labine's writing. What you don't know is that Guza refuses to write for anyone who represents the history of this show. I grew up on Monica and Bobbie. It's an affront to Guza that we, the fans, actually care about the veterans. He has systematically erased what made this show great to build a monument to himself through Sonny/Carly/Jason. I don't have a problem with S/C/J, but what went down well in doses is toxic when overdone. Although I do agree Charleson, Zeman, and Linder may have gone a bit far with the plastic surgery, I sympathize with their clearly vain attempts to remain relevant on this youth-obsessed soap that has clearly lost its moral center. Log in to Reply aramis270 August 25, 2010 US312471, as I don't do actor bashing I won't tell you which GH actresses are in my opinion far worse actresses than Leslie who has showed again and again years ago what an amazing actress she is. I love Erika Slezak but Leslie should have won the Emmy for her cancer storyline. And remember AJ's death ? And the love story with Alan ? And the cheating ? And even recently when she was fighting the bottle ? I could do easily without Dante and Olivia. But I am very sad that the Qs are disappearing one by one. Michael should have stayed at their place instead of on the couch where Lante keep having sex on. Who is next ? Edward or Tracy ? So so sad … Log in to Reply wiggum August 25, 2010 While Leslie is not the best actress, I truly believe that if Leslie and Jackie still looked like themselves, they would be on more. I didn't even recognize Jackie one of the last times she was on with Alexis. John Ingle is not exactly the model of health(I'm assuming the same with the guy who plays Murphy on Y&R) so I think that's a biggie why he's not on Log in to Reply kcgeban August 25, 2010 Is anyone really surprised at this? I began watching GH because of the Quartermaines and quit watching when they stopped being the mainstays of the show. Alstonboy and the other posters who say the EP hates the veteran characters are probably right. The man seems intent on creating his own legacy. Longtime fans be damned! Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 August 25, 2010 Yeah, both women have ruined their natural beauty with plastic surgery, but they have been a part of GH longer than Guza has been associated with the show (he first came on back in 1982!), so their REAL fans don't really care how terrible they look. Most of us understand that people age and that their appearances also alter accordingly. However, even if they HAD aged naturally, I honestly believe that the writers would STILL refuse to give them proper amounts of airtime. Jacklyn's airtime has been dwindling since the early 2000s, BEFORE she did whatever she did to her face. The writers are operating under this ILLUSION that spotlighting 30-somethings like Franco and Brenda will pull in a certain demographic, but actors like Zeman and Charleson are "old news" and no longer worth their expensive paychecks, so they are on the backburner with the asparagus and the lima beans!! Jane Elliott has gotten a LITTLE bit more story lately, but she's essentially on the outside looking in also. Log in to Reply Ravennite613 August 25, 2010 I hope she was the one who finally had enough and said she wanted recurring opening her up to do other things. This big Brenda return flop must be hell on poor Guza and Co. What a bunch of maroons. Instead of learning and seeing what makes people tune in they continue to dessimate what once was an amazing show and turn it into Corinthos land..what happens when the ratings continue to plummet do you continue to let go core characters and smack history in the face because one or two focus groups say they like Sonny and the holy trinity. Listen to the real fans Log in to Reply sassysdreams August 25, 2010 So totally expected and very sad!! alstonboy – I like lima beans. Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 August 25, 2010 Sassy~~ You can have MINE then……….LOL!!! Log in to Reply mrsnoahdrake August 25, 2010 That's really sad to hear. They have been alternating her photo with John Ingle's in the credits since VM returned. I was hoping we'd see more Qs when Brenda returns to PC. Edward has always been fond of her. Monica is a cardiologist. They could have used her when Johnny was shot. And there's the great storyline that will likely never happen – the Qs finding out that Jake is Jason's son. But that would mean that Liz & Jason would have to share screen time. And we know Frons & Guza are all about JaSam. That might we a more interesting twist in the JaSam storyline rather than all the mob stuff that most of us are sick of watching. Log in to Reply keanna August 25, 2010 Very sad indeed!!!! When they killed off Alan, that was pretty much it for Monica. Alstonboy, as usual my friend, you are on the money, honey!!!! I mean this show has no regard for its veterans. Way to get more longtime viewers to turn on them. Log in to Reply siomonstuart2003 August 25, 2010 Look at Y&R and Days, they are using their vets. GH is in the shape that it is in because of their narrow minded ways and hurting the show. Log in to Reply AlteredStates August 25, 2010 Sad but not surprising. I grew up with Monica/Rick/Alan. Today's sorry-ass triangles pale in comparison. Nothing against Erika Slezak, but Leslie absolutely deserved the Emmy for the breast-cancer storyline. I will always be grateful that I was a GH fan when Monica and other vets were at the forefront, and that I bailed a few years after Claire Labine's departure. Log in to Reply ackgh73994 August 25, 2010 I always dreaded the day that TPTB would do this to Leslie. With Leslie, Adrianna Leon, Annie Ilonzeh, & Bergen Williams all on recurring, it's only a matter of time before John Ingle & Jane Elliot get bumped too. The first step in the extinction of the Quartermaines was killing half of them off. Now it's bumping them all to recurring until they slowly & quietly fade offscreen. I was hoping that Stuart Damon, Scott Clifton, Wally Kurth, & Lesli Kay would all one day return, but after this & the way Robin Christopher's return was botched, what's the point? All I can say is REALLY BIG MISTAKE GUZA & CO. LONG LIVE THE QUARTERMAINES OF GENERAL HOSPITAL!!! Log in to Reply Beth August 25, 2010 Just another reason why I don't have any regrets whatsoever giving up this horrible show. The showrunners can just keep running it into the ground, I no longer care. I'll always have memories of when GH was an essential part of the pop culture lexicon and a damn good show. Now, it's just a joke. Log in to Reply angrierblackerman August 25, 2010 Whatever DOUCHE/DOUCHESS made the initial comment about plastic surgery needs to get a clue. Many actresses of a certain age know that the business is mostly about YOUTH. And when you see many veteran actresses in that age bracket being sidelined for young ingenues, can you BLAME any of them for getting surgery? These actors go through these procedures to keep a youthful appearance, that will hopefully allow them to be seen as valuable enough to keep on the show. Most actors in Soaps have had some kind of work done Even men(Galen Gering, Ronn Moss, Cameron Mathison). This so they can project images of accepted beauty. Face it, it's about beauty and youth. Now a lot of it seems extreme, and many actresses have had pretty frightening results: Hunter Tylo Bobbie Eakes Leslie Charleson Jaclyn Zeman Lauren Koslow But it's a necessary evil, considering that when most female actors get so much as fine lines around the eyes, they are shuffled aside. Log in to Reply GH LOVER August 25, 2010 About how Leslie and Jaclyen look I take them over many of the youngest cast!!!!! better actresses better characters who really have a place in GH not like some others!!! It is a shame that GH didn't use her and Edward with the Michael S/L have her visiting her son and grandson in prison would be emmy real stuff!!! have her facing Carly and Sonny!!!! have her Edward to be the one talking with the judge and getting charge on Michael!!! would be better than have him staying and sleeping on Lante's sex couch!!! see her and Edward forbidding Sonny to see Michael… I hate it I hate it I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |( Log in to Reply Kenyon August 25, 2010 This is exactly why I quit watching this show. They have no respect for history. They act like it just premiered back in the 90's when Sonny first came. This is exactly why this shows ratings are at 1.5. ABC needs to just kill it now and put it out of it's misery. Log in to Reply mrsa1107 August 25, 2010 I am kinda shocked she hasn't been on recurring all this time. Not for anything– daytime soaps are really struggling– they are at all time low in ratings and many are running over budget. It makes total business sense to place those actors who have not had front burner storylines on recurring. Granted if/when there is a need to use the actor more- at that point there could come the need to change their status to contract player– but if the person is backburner for a long period of time he/she should be on recurring.

Log in to Reply Ryan-Scott August 25, 2010 I would be interested to know if they came to her and gave her an option of a pay-cut before shooting her down to recurring? Log in to Reply Cyberologist August 25, 2010 I just don't get GH I get a ton of newbies and pets from their other cancelled shows TIIC brings in to overide the veterans of this show. When all I ever wanted is Qs involved …they are steady adding more characters yet GH does not write "for the vets" and those who are original to the show. They haven't figured out that is a big problem with this show for many viewers…The fabric is gone, the rich tapestry, history of the show is not used … this is FronsTV One tree hill, the OC.. and I know what happened to those..he came on board and destroyed a 48 year old show..with favoritism and sloppy storytelling by his BFF Guza…its a shame… I'm no longer a loyal viewer but I wish Leslie well I knew it was only a matter of time…he's systematically destroyed the Qs and (all the families for the most part) replaced them with the Corinthos clan Whether she is a good actress or not (which I happen to think Leslie has always been an excellent actress even the garbage they give her) not only that I read years ago (don't know if its true) this is the actress that singlehandedly got GH off the cancellation block with "her storyline" and the triangle of Alan, Rick, Jeff and all that kept them going for years… then they turn around and kick them in the ass…if it wasn't for this woman there would be no GH. They were scheduled to be cancelled and literally rose to #1 over night. This show disrespect their vets at every turn…all she needs is to be involved in the storytelling they won't write for her. GH has put all their vets to pasture. PS they offered Stuart Damon recurring and he didn't take it Ron Hale is out as Mike supposedly (his choice to retire) so I wouldn't be surprised if they offerred her recurring or the exit door. I'm so glad I'm out of GH can't stand the politics and favoritism re: FronsTv especially GH.. Log in to Reply Marland Fan August 25, 2010 You know what guys, she had a great run. Thirty-three years on the show is something for her to be proud of. But with the Quartermaine clan decimated, there isn't much more they can do with her. I'm sure if there had been an internet back in '77, everyone would have been complaining about how the Quartermaines were pushing aside characters like Steve, Audrey, Jessie, etc. That's just the way soaps go. Log in to Reply Dariclone August 25, 2010 I only watch GH off and on, but I love Monica as do my parents who watched as early as the '70's. I think it would be great to see Leslie Charleston on another show and I hope GH regrets their decision.

Steve, Audrey, & Jessie were all slowly fading off when the Q's came on. They were like family to the Quartermaines and shared lots of scenes with them. Every holiday, party, wedding, funeral, you name it and Steve, Audrey, & Jessie were with the Quartermaines. Monica & Audrey remained close until Rachel Ames left the show. The Q's gave those 3 an extended family that they never really had. Log in to Reply samanthadelayed August 25, 2010 Sad, but I have to say I thought she was already on recurring…. Log in to Reply marknsprmo August 26, 2010 Why doesn't the show just rename itself Sonny? Get rid of the General Hospital characters and just be about the mob. Oh that's because the mob on general hospital sux. This show's writers worship a gangster daily. They have surounded him with a bevy of women (even though he's in a gay relationship with Jason). Now the love of his life Vanessa Marcel(uh maybe Carly should have a say in this one) has come back. It should have drawn oh about 300000 viewers but oh yeah the ratings went down. Glad ABC spent that money bringing her back. And why does this "mob" story that is about as realistic as cinderella, continue? Even though ratings plummet yearly? Same reason all the soaps numbers continue to fall….. because the networks have lost touch with their viewers. Sorry that yet another long and outstanding career in daytime is coming to an end….. well we gotta pay for this one actress who probably won't stay around anyway. Log in to Reply Jamey Giddens August 26, 2010 Plastic surgery and soaps is a vicious cycle. With people like Brian Frons in charge of the genre, who say things like (paraphrasing) "It's surprising people actually like Marcy, given how Kathy Brier looks" of course the actors are going to feel pressure to get nipped and tucked. I heard of one former NBC soap actress who was told by the brass if she "freshened up" she would work more. That poor woman now looks unrecognizable. If the brass at these shows weren't so shallow, then actors wouldn't feel the need to ruin their faces with plastic surgery. Personally, I think Leslie has a great surgeon, much better than some of her peers. It's sad, but I was told by a very reliable source, that Jacklyn Zeman is played so infrequently because of her surgeries. Log in to Reply us312471 August 26, 2010 Thanks to most everyone for not knocking my post about the plastic surgery. I'm sorry, but when I think of LC, I just see the awful plastic surgery. One reason for that, is because she is on so infrequently. I do now remember (back when) LC was front and center and did some fine acting and yes, was up for several Emmy's. Thanks for the the pleasantly mentioned reminders. As far as you, "angrierblackerman", whatever. You can call me a douche/douchess, that's fine. Not a big deal. I guess I just don't get that worked up over someone else's opinion and choose to call people names. Not trying to be even the slightest bit nasty here. If you and others choose to do that, that's fine, I know I just don't. One thing that has always been nice about this site is when someone mis-speaks or has a thought that others don't necessarily agree with, the comments back are still mostly cordial, which is great. Log in to Reply kcgeban August 26, 2010 I'm going to be honest and say that without the title of the post and because I tune into GH so infrequently these days, I would not have recognized the photo as being of Leslie. Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 August 26, 2010 Lauren Koslow doesn't look BAD…she still looks pretty good in my opinion!!!! Log in to Reply marknsprmo August 26, 2010 my personal feelings are that if you can tell a person has had plastic surgery, it is bad plastic surgery. Our eyes are trained to pick up things that just aren't right. The shape of someones nose, a chin implant, eye lids that don't contour the eye socket, laughlines in inapropriate places, teeth that are much bigger than they ought to be, lips that are impossibly large, foreheads that have no lines, boobs that defy gravity, a neck on a 50 year old that is stretched taut like an 18 y/o. These things aren't normal and seem wrong to our eyes. Plastic surgery should be used to correct serious flaws not to try to make someones face a science fiction project. There is one actress on a CBS soap( and it is easy to figure out who I am speaking of) who left her show for a few years. When she left, she was arguably the most beautiful actress on daytime. While she was gone a surgeon got ahold of that beautiful face and distorted and bleached, and plumped and shifted until she looks like Joan Rivers. Why? I could cry trying to figure out why someone would do that. If a persons face is ravaged by age and sun and poor lifestyle choices ( Jeanne Cooper comes to mind), and you are on tv, then a face lift and some skin modification might make some sense. To set things right again. But to just saw and hack at ones face to try to "look" younger is a prime example of self hatred. Log in to Reply kcgeban August 26, 2010 In the past, you used to hear about contract clauses which stated that actors could not make significant changes in their appearance that might affect the integrity or believability of the characters they played. I'm guessing that this does not apply to plastic surgery "enhancements". Log in to Reply boysoapfan August 27, 2010 You know i find it extremely sad. Leslie Charleson has been on GENERAL HOSPITAL for over 33 years. The woman has seniority over every cast member on that show, and they don't even give her screen time.. not to mention commemorate her for the fine work she's done for the past years. Even though this movie will not be met well by fans, her status with the show stays. She has been drop to recurring, but it's going to be the same amount of airtime she's been having- almost nothing will change. Its sad that the once bickering Quartermaine family.. is now nothing more than a distant memory. Log in to Reply boysoapfan August 27, 2010 You know i find it extremely sad.

It especially makes no sense with Brenda coming back. Brenda was an honorary Quartermaine. It's like their taking everyone's roots away. Monica was never my favorite character, but I love her so much in comparison to the mob that we see today. There was so much potential with her as a character (especially with her being Jason's mom). Love you Leslie! I hope we still get to see you on the show at least as often as we do now. Log in to Reply shawno September 7, 2010 Sad news, GH has become a total loss. I remember when Monica was pushed down the stairs when she was pregnant, now that was a storyline. Who cares about the Mob?

Here are just a few changes I made: I fried the onions, garlic and ginger for a little bit before adding the rest of the spices, I didn't have enought tomatoes so I used 1 chopped tomato with 2 tbsp tomato sauce, I didn't add the sugar but I did add one seeded Serrano pepper sliced length-wise. I don't think my changes affected the true taste of your recipe which was just wonderful. thanks for sharing!"

Hawaii Five-0 Review: Off And Runningby Jim Garner at . Comments
"La O Na Makuahine:" Mother's Day
Hawaii Five-0 Season 3 kicked off with the Chin-Ho, Kono and Malia-based cliffhanger we have been biting our nails over all summer. While my guess from the season finale of how Kono could be saved was really close (Adam saved her after Chin-Ho called him), my hope that Malia opening her eyes meant that she would survive didn't fair as well.
Can we hope that Chin-Ho won't go down a horribly dark path over Malia's death because he was able to catch Frank Delano and shoot him in the face with a shotgun? I'm worried that we are going to have to deal with "Evil Chin-Ho" now for several episodes, which would drag down the overall feel of the show.
The premiere also gave us a complete answer to the questions that were asked most often during the show's sophomore season. To wit: What is Shelburne? It was Doris McGarrett's code name when she was a spy before Steve was born.
It was even better to receive the answer directly from Doris McGarrett herself as she explained why she disappeared for 20 years to Steve. I'm not surprised that Steve had some anger about his mom faking her own death. I was very glad that he got past it, though, towards the end of the episode when he called her "mom" instead of "Doris."
In addition to Christine Lahti coming on board as Mrs. McGarrett, Michelle Borth returned as Catherine Rawlins. She's now a series regular. While they didn't explain why she is suddenly island-bound in the Navy, I enjoyed watching her and Doris together too much to really complain about it.
Speaking of Doris and Catherine, I'm very curious why Doris didn't shoot Wo Fat and, more importantly, why Wo Fat spent years trying to find her and didn't even raise his pistol. I'm sensing that any relief I have over finding out who Shelburne was is going to quickly be replaced with questions about Wo Fat and Doris' interaction and relationship.
My only complaint about the opener was the way the writers decided to have Wo Fat escape. I just don't get why it had to involve a helicopter picking up an armored car with a giant skill-crane style claw. Had they cut to a shot of the three-eyed alien from Toy Story pointing and saying Oooooh, The Claw!! it would not have surprised me... and might have made it better.
I will say (claw-copter aside) that the rest of the action from Peter Lenkov's story was great. I cheered out loud when Kono jumped straight up as the guy tried to run her down and then shot him through the windshield while standing on the hood.
In conclusion, this week's premiere was excellent and the addition of Lahti as Doris made for some fun Hawaii Five-O Quotes. I'm excited to see where Lenov decides to take her and Catherine in relation to the core team. What did you think of the premiere? Do you like the addition of Doris McGarrett?

What are you talking about George. Aren't Chin Ho & Kono Asian?
Huge fan of the show, however, this episode was not as good as previous ones. The helicopter scene was pure crap. An the cheesy "he's your brother nonsense" is really going to kill the momentum of the season.
I love Kono, she my favorite character.
She went all McGarrett on bad guy ass lol!! I didn't care for the Mama/Steve storyline I didn't want to see it or why did bring Cath to the team, to me she is the new Lori 2.0 I don't care about those two newbies. I feel this season the show is all about Steve, its leaning toward to the Steve show.
Great to have the show back. It was a long summer.If the opener is any indication this season should be great. The only miss was the helicopter snatch of the armored car. Yes it was right out of James Bond - "License to Kill" and "You Only Live Twice" to be exact. Why did they drop it 40 to 50 feet into the water. The fall would have killed or seriously injured anyone inside. Why not gently lower it to the surface? Also Max sure made a quick recovery.
Overall, I thought the premiere was very good. Both Alex and Christine were good in their scenes together. Alex conveyed his pain and confusion so well. I bawled my eyes out at Chin Ho's sad scene in the kitchen. They've really created a steep mountain for him to climb this season.
I thought the Wo Fat escape with the helicopter was a bit too James Bond, but so what? Very cinematic.
Why did Doris let Wo Fat escape? Please writers, don't make Steve and Wo Fat brothers. That would be too much.
Doris is Wo Fat's mother too... The 'complicated' she mentioned at the start... ???
@George, I agree completely. It's a show based in Hawaii, it's about time they started showing that.
"On the Kono issue, she's my favourite character and I was glad that she survived." The day she departs and they white wash the show, I stop watching unless she is replaced by another Asian...it is Hawaii for goodness sakes. If they want to white-wash, they need to move the show to the shores of Lake Superior in Wisconsin or Hilton Head Beach in SC!
Malia Weston (Chin Ho's TV wife) was the token Asian-American. I think I saw her once since their "marriage" last Christmas. Actually, they showed more of Lori Weston (the white female) than Mali Weston (the Asian female) last season. Wonder who the next token Asian would be..I am certain there will be one!
The Steve/Danny/Doris Cargument might be my favourite one yet, Doris's just as witty and sarcastic as Danny. Though I have a feeling that she brings nothing but trouble but she's steve's mum and in the end you would try to help your mum no matter what right? On the Kono issue, she's my favourite character and I was glad that she survived. I really felt for Chin though, but I think he made the right choice, kind of. Between Kono's physical abilities and her basically being born in the water, I think she had a better chance of surviving. Overall it was an excellent episode.

Zimbabwe, South Africa: Shaping a Post-Mugabe Government
The United States and its allies have long been urging South Africa to do
something about the government of Robert Mugabe in neighboring Zimbabwe,
once known as the breadbasket of southern Africa and now perilously close
to being a failed state. Now, new South African President Jacob Zuma is
moving to shape a post-Mugabe government -- and ensure that South Africa
doesn't lose its dominant influence in southern Africa.
South African President Jacob Zuma is visiting Zimbabwe Aug. 27 for a
one-day meeting with government officials, including President Robert
Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. It is Zuma's first visit to
Zimbabwe since he was inaugurated South African president in May and only
his second bilateral trip since taking office.
The stated purpose of the meeting is to discuss Zimbabwe's power-sharing
struggles, though the real reason for the trip is to help Zimbabwe
envision and shape a post-Mugabe future, something the West has been
urging South Africa to do for years. Mugabe, 85, has been in office since
1980, and Zuma wants to ensure that whoever succeeds him reflects South
Africa's interests as well as Zimbabwe's.
Previous South African President Thabo Mbeki, who ruled from 1999 to 2008,
was considered an apologist for Mugabe and refused to criticize or put any
kind of pressure on his regime, which has turned what was once the
breadbasket of the region into a diseased dustbowl. In June, on a
three-week tour abroad to seek help in rebuilding his country, Prime
Minister Tsvangirai visited the United States and met with U.S. President
Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Zimbabwean prime
minister estimated that the country needs $100 million to $150 million per
month to operate and is appealing for an injection of $2 billion (and
possibly $10 billion overall) to fund new jobs and infrastructure
development projects. Such international financial assistance will start
flowing only after Mugabe leaves office.
To effect such a transition, Zuma will have to get the approval of
Zimbabwe's largest tribe, the Shona, who make up about 70 percent of the
country's population. Making the case to the general Shona population that
their lives will improve with the Mugabe regime out of power will not be a
hard sell, especially if Zuma's South Africa makes a material commitment
to rebuilding Zimbabwe. Moreover, members of Mugabe's regime, especially
those drawn from the Shona tribe, will have to be assured that they will
be protected physically and financially once Mugabe steps down, which will
likely occur within the next two years. The Shona also must be assured
that they will not suffer reprisals if they were to when they no longer
control power in Zimbabwe.
Zuma will have to make inroads into five political factions now
maneuvering to succeed Mugabe, though not all five have an equal chance.
Two factions come from within Mugabe's ruling circle -- the Joyce Mujuru
faction and the Emmerson Mnangagwa faction, both of which are from the
Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) wing part of the ruling Zimbabwe
African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) party. Two other factions
come from the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU), and one of these
factions is allied to ZANU-PF. A fifth faction, the one with the least
chance to succeed Mugabe, is the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC)
party, led by Prime Minister Tsvangirai.
The two factions from Mugabe's inner circle are led by current Vice
President Mujuru and Defense Minister Mnangagwa. Together with
her husband, Solomon Mujuru, who was Zimbabwe's first army commander,
Mujuru forms a very powerful block with deep pockets and access to a
private militia. Mnangagwa, also a powerful Zimbabwean politician, was
once in charge of the government's Rural Housing portfolio and previously
commanded Zimbabwe's Central Intelligence Organization.
However, neither Mujuru nor Mnangagwa have been able to gain favor as the
heir apparent, largely because of the damage they have done to each other
in recent years trying to maneuver for ascendency.
Mujuru and Mnanagagwa are both Shona (though from different sub-tribes),
but there is another part of ZANU-PF that represents the country's
second-largest tribe, the Ndebele, which make up the PF part of ZANU-PF.
In the struggle for independence, the Ndebele (an offshoot of South
Africa's Zulu tribe who fled into what is now Zimbabwe in the early 1800s
from Zulu king Shaka's wars of conquest) formed ZAPU, and its armed wing
was called the Zimbabwe People's Liberation Army (ZIPRA). ZAPU and ZIPRA
fought a guerilla campaign against the white Rhodesian government (as did
Mugabe's ZANU), but when it came to full democratic elections in Rhodesia
in late 1979, the country's Shona population, supporting the Mugabe-led
ZANU, won the day, defeating ZAPU to form the country's first multiracial
government. With Mugabe at the helm, ZANU proceeded to rename Rhodesia
The Shona and the Ndebele have a long history of conflict, which even
today has not been entirely extinguished. Ndebele subjugation of the
Shona in the 19th century was held in check during British colonialism.
After independence -- and in control of government -- the Shona took their
vengeance, killing tens of thousands of Ndebele over several years in a
campaign led in part by Emmerson Mnangagwa. A truce was reached in 1987 in
which ZAPU disarmed itself and joined ZANU, forming a coalition
government. ZAPU was given perpetual control over a secondary vice
presidential position in Harare, though it was destined to play second
fiddle to the Shona, who dominated the newly created ZANU-PF.
Memories of subjugation have not been forgotten by either the Ndebele or
the Shona -- nor have the Zulu in South Africa (of which President Zuma is
a member) overlooked the hand dealt their Ndebele brethren in Zimbabwe.
While the Shona are maneuvering among themselves to succeed Mugabe, the
Ndebele are also trying to stake their claim in Harare. The chairman of
ZANU-PF, John Nkomo, is a Ndebele politician who is positioning himself to
succeed Joseph Msika, who had been Zimbabwe's second vice president until
his death on Aug. 5. Should he be elected vice president during the
ZANU-PF party congress scheduled for Dec. 8-13, Nkomo could manage to
raise the profile of the Ndebele within ZANU-PF.
But there is another Ndebele faction working in the wings to reassert the
tribe's historic position in Zimbabwe. Dumiso Dabengwa, interim leader of
ZAPU, recently declared the Ndebele faction officially separated from
ZANU-PF. South African President Zuma has held a number of recent meetings
with Dabengwa, including one during Zuma's inauguration in May and another
during traditional Zulu festivities in South Africa in June, when Zuma
recognized ZAPU's break from ZANU-PF and thanked ZAPU for its support of
Zuma's African National Congress (ANC) during the ANC's struggle against
white rule in South Africa.
Dabengwa's break, strengthened by Zuma's recognition, got Mugabe's
attention. The Zimbabwean president reportedly has offered the Ndebele
politician the secondary vice presidential post. Dabengwa has made no move
toward the position, however, knowing Mugabe's track record of ending the
careers of rivals through patronage appointments. A promise of support and
protection from Zuma would be much more valuable to Dabengwa's aspirations
for ZAPU than would his acceptance of a dead-end Mugabe offering.
Zuma is not going to step in and fix Zimbabwe just because foreign powers
ask him to. But Zuma will intervene if it is in South Africa's best
interest and if he has the opportunity. It appears that the Zulu-related
Ndebele may offer just the opening he needs.

Champions Trophy - Review
08 Nov 2006
Liam Camps
What irony is it that a tournament hailed as unnecessary provided us with some of the most interesting cricket of recent times? Rhetorical, no doubt, for although the Champions Trophy boasted many a one-sided display, the pure illusion of competition between the world's top eight teams was enough to ensure it as a success.
That the West Indies - the world-ranked number seven - fairly cruised to the final is the best indication of the competition at hand. Admittedly they entered as defending champions, but they were also made to qualify for the main portion of the tournament from a group involving Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
But what breed of major tournament would it be if the Australians did not run away with the title? Well, the lone response would have been "the Champions Trophy" before Sunday's result. Until this 2006 installment, it was the only major trophy Australia failed to capture. That was all set straight in spectacular fashion. The victims on this occasion were the West Indies, and Australia issued a thrashing reminiscent of their last two World Cup final triumphs.
It was almost expected that a Champions Trophy that began with such one-sided cricket as this one (given especially the presence of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in the qualifying round) would end in much the same way. For all the glory in which the West Indies bathed in the run to the final, it was a determined and professional Australian unit by which they were finally derailed.
Team Summaries
It may have taken four attempts, but Australia are finally Champions Trophy winners. Perhaps it was not the flawless effort of the 2003 World Cup, but Australia still managed to finish in such emphatic fashion as to edge into the slot of "best team in the tournament".
Jerome Taylor's hat-trick ensured that Australia started the tournament with a loss, and therefore uncertainty as to whether they would emerge from the group stages, but a Damien Martyn special (78 with 12 fours) saw the team back on track against England. Martyn then repeated the dose against India to seal a dramatic revival.
Lost to West Indies by 10 runs.
Beat England by 6 wickets.
Beat India by 6 wickets.
Beat New Zealand by 34 runs. (semi final)
Beat West Indies by 8 wickets. (final)
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Glenn McGrath
Reliable as ever, McGrath started slowly against the West Indies (8-0-42-1) in the group stage, but quickly found his stride against England and proceeded to finish as Australia's top bowler. His 10 wickets were matched by Nathan Bracken, but came at a lower average (a stunning 15.80) and with an economy rate of 3.59.
If there was any doubt that McGrath was short of his best, it was put to rest in the final, where he recovered from an early bashing at the hands of Chris Gayle to bowl a superb spell. McGrath conceded 22 runs from his first two wicketless overs, then bowled a spell of 5-3-2-2 to dismantle the West Indies middle order. That his wickets were Lara and Morton - heroes against Australia earlier in the tournament - made it all the more sweet.
West Indies
Defending champions, indeed. The impressive manner with which the West Indies emerged from the qualifying round, then swept into the final of the tournament made everyone take notice. And though they collapsed against a superior team in the final, it could not distract from the clear improvements in this West Indies one-day international unit. Given that the World Cup is due to be held on their home turf next year, the future could well be bright.
Beat Zimbabwe by 9 wickets.
Beat Bangladesh by 10 wickets.
Lost to Sri Lanka by 9 wickets.
Beat Australia by 10 runs.
Beat India by 3 wickets.
Lost to England by 3 wickets.
Beat South Africa by 6 wickets. (semi final)
Lost to Australia by 8 wickets. (final)
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Chris Gayle
Rarely has a player so greatly impacted upon his team's fortunes as Gayle did in this Champions Trophy. The West Indian allrounder not only smashed 474 runs in 8 innings (including 3 hundreds), but also took 8 wickets at an average of 23.12 with an economy rate of 4.
It was a titanic tournament for Chris Gayle and he was truly the centrepiece of the West Indian challenge. Yes, his teammates did have shining moments with the bat (Chanderpaul in particular), but the manner in which Gayle dominated at the top of the order was substantial in the team dynamic. His efforts with the ball seemed almost a bonus given such healthy batting contributions.
South Africa
South Africa are not the greatest of performers in big tournaments, having been tagged with the title of "chokers". Too often the team has fought its way to a moment of glory, then spilled the chance to steal it. This year's Champions Trophy did little to dispel the tag. Though the South Africans played well in the build up to their semi final against the West Indies (topping Group B), they were still soundly beaten.
Having risen to the challenge to recover from 42-5 and beat Pakistan by 124 runs in their last fixture, expectations were high heading into the semi final round. But it was the third time in the last three major one-day tournaments that the South Africans fell to the West Indies and yet another time when they floundered with the end tape in sight.
Lost to New Zealand by 87 runs.
Beat Sri Lanka by 78 runs.
Beat Pakistan by 124 runs.
Lost to West Indies by 6 wickets. (semi final)
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Shaun Pollock
No South African had an outstanding tournament. Indeed, the formidable top order trio of Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith and Boeta Dippenaar boasted no half- centuries between them in 11 innings. The most notable performance was that of the consistent Shaun Pollock.
The allrounder may have only averaged 9.33 with the bat, but he was as miserly as ever with the ball. Hauls of 6-1-18-1, 10-0-21-2 and 7-0-20-2 stood out in the run to the semi final. But it was there that he met a rampant Chris Gayle, and leaked 34 runs in 5 wicketless overs.
New Zealand
Despite another low-key showing, New Zealand still managed to reach the semi final stage of the Champions Trophy with an impressive showing. The eternal underdogs first defended 195 against South Africa, bowling them out for 108, then lost by 7 wickets to Sri Lanka. But by the time they dismissed Pakistan by 51 runs, confidence was high.
Unfortunately, the semi final draw pitted the Kiwis against arch-rivals Australia. The result was a quiet defeat by the superior Aussies and another anonymous exit for the most under-rated of teams in one-day international cricket.
Beat South Africa by 87 runs.
Lost to Sri Lanka by 7 wickets.
Beat Pakistan by 51 runs.
Lost to Australia by 34 runs. (semi final)
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Kyle Mills
Undoubtedly the best of the New Zealand bowling attack, Kyle Mills showed just how much he has improved as an ODI bowler. Though the focus was on the less- than-fit Shane Bond, Mills was by far the most consistently penetrative bowler.
His 10 wickets came at 11.80 apiece, and a haul of 4 for 38 against Australia in the semi final almost turned the tables for New Zealand. Mills ultimately outbowled Bond in every aspect, even finishing by far the more economical at 4.14 to Bond's 5.40.
It has been difficult time of late for India and it certainly was not an improvement to fall short of the semi final round of the Champions Trophy on home soil. Despite recent poor form, India entered the tournament as a formidable opponent and a favourite to make the final. But the reality was a continuation of disappointment, largely due to bowling deficiencies.
The Indians started with a shaky 4-wicket win over England, then stuttered to defeat against the West Indies a game later. And by the time they met the eventual champions, Australia, victory was needed to qualify for the final four. A total of 249 seemed good enough to inspire a contest, but any such consideration was quickly stripped away by dismal bowling, and India crashed out in defeat by 6 wickets.
Beat England by 4 wickets.
Lost to West Indies by 3 wickets.
Lost to Australia by 6 wickets.
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Munaf Patel
For all the worries of the Indian bowling attack, one player remained relatively reliable. Munaf Patel has improved greatly as a bowler in recent months, and he continued his good form in the Champions Trophy.
Patel bowled a consistent line and length with good bounce and reaped the rewards before falling away in the clutch. Against Australia Patel surrendered 61 runs from 8.4 overs, having taken 3 for 47 in his previous 16 overs.
Scandal, drugs and more scandal. It seems that Pakistan cannot escape the touch of controversy at the moment. With the eye of scrutiny on the embattled team, and without captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and the bowling powerhouse that is Asif and Akhtar, the odds mounted against Pakistan before the tournament began. Despite a stunning Razzaq-inspired triumph over Sri Lanka, two subsequent disappointments sent them out of the tournament at the final group hurdle.
Pakistan were confronted with South Africa in a must-win situation, and collapsed from a strong position to humiliating defeat. The South Africans recovered from 42-5 to win by 124 runs and Pakistan surrendered for a meagre 89.
Beat Sri Lanka by 4 wickets.
Lost to New Zealand by 51 runs.
Lost to South Africa by 124 runs.
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Abdul Razzaq
Given the magnitude of the allround performance that inspired Pakistan's only victory in the tournament, Razzaq is a shoo-in for the key player. Razzaq took 4 wickets to help drag Sri Lanka back from 181-3 after 32.3 overs to 253 all out, then smacked 38 from 24 balls to seal a close win. Razzaq's further contributions in the series proved far less substantial, but he remained Pakistan's only matchwinner.
Expectations are eternally low when it comes to England and limited overs cricket, but even more so when grouped with Australia and India, let alone on the subcontinent. Therefore it was no surprise that England were swiftly ushered out of the Champions Trophy, losing their first two matches of the group round.
The manner in which the games were lost was not surprising either. A dramatic collapse for 125 all out against India was usurped by an even more impressive collapse from 83-0 to 169 all out against Australia. Kevin Pietersen restored some pride with a brilliant matchwinning 91 not out against the West Indies, but it was far too little and certainly too late.
Lost to India by 4 wickets.
Lost to Australia by 6 wickets.
Beat West Indies by 3 wickets.
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Andrew Strauss
Kevin Pietersen may have been England's matchwinner, but Andrew Strauss was the most consistent player with either bat or ball. The former captain struck two half-centuries in three innings at the top of the order and forged an impressive opening partnership with Ian Bell.
Sri Lanka
It is extraordinary form that a team would enter a major ODI tournament with 8 consecutive victories to its credit, but Sri Lanka arrived in India boasting such great form. That the wins came against the might of Holland and England seemed inconsequential, given the way they proceeded to dismantle Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and defending champions, the West Indies.
The victory over the West Indies was perhaps the most impressive, as it came by a margin of 9 wickets and Sri Lanka had few concerns in chasing 81 for victory. They carried the confidence of 11 consecutive wins into their first game of the second round, but were halted by a defiant Razzaq. Muralitharan authored victory over New Zealand, then the momentum was lost once more, scattered by the seam attack of South Africa in the final group game.
Beat Bangladesh by 37 runs.
Beat Zimbabwe by 144 runs.
Beat West Indies by 9 wickets.
Lost to Pakistan by 4 wickets.
Beat New Zealand by 7 wickets.
Lost to South Africa by 78 runs.
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Upul Tharanga
There can be little doubt as to who was the most outstanding young batsman at the 2006 Champions Trophy. Discounting the now vastly experienced Chris Gayle, Upul Tharanga was the brightest star on display. Tharanga proved that his potential is worth its weight in runs, cashing in with 320 in 8 innings at an average of 53.33.
That his two hundreds came against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe may be called into question, but the maturity with which Tharanga batted showed promise being fulfilled.
It is fair to say that little was expected from Bangladesh at the Champions Trophy, given especially that they were made to qualify from a group involving the defending champions - the West Indies - and the red-hot Sri Lanka. But thanks largely to a Shahriar Nafees hundred against Zimbabwe, they ensured that they did not finish with the wooden spoon.
Lost to Sri Lanka by 37 runs.
Lost to West Indies by 10 wickets.
Beat Zimbabwe by 101 runs.
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Shahriar Nafees
Shahriar Nafees may have cashed in for 123 unbeaten runs against an extremely weak Zimbabwean side, but it was not an innings to be begrudged. Nafees entered the tournament as the only genuine hope of the Bangladesh top order and finished it with his reputation enhanced. His 166 runs came at an average of 83, and while he batted with Aftab Ahmed against the West Indies, Bangladesh actually looked a competitive force.
Only one team exited this year's Champions Trophy without a victory. Zimbabwe were never really granted much faith to succeed, but succumbed so incredibly to their opposition, that the display was heartbreaking. Defeat came by margins of 9 wickets, 144 runs and 101 runs and the inevitable early plane ride home could scarcely come sooner.
Lost to West Indies by 9 wickets.
Lost to Sri Lanka by 144 runs.
Lost to Bangladesh by 101 runs.
Cricket Web Player of the Tournament:
Edward Rainsford
There were few Zimbabwean performances worthy of praise at the tournament, but the consistency of Edward Rainsford with the new ball is worth a mention. Rainsford only took 2 wickets, but functioned with an economy rate of 4.13.

Nev. school shooting probe includes bullying video
Martinez outlined a variety of resources available to families, including a crisis call center and Northern Nevada Mental Health Services.
The email was sent Wednesday night while hundreds of students and others gathered at a candlelight vigil outside the school, where community leaders and clergy offered prayers and words of encouragement.
"We pray for a world where guns and children don't go together - where violence is not the first or second or third way children think of to solve problems," said Julia Rubin of Reno's Temple Sinai. "We pray after we have mourned and comforted each other we can take steps to address the root cause of violence and gun use by children throughout our country."
Meanwhile, the mother of one of the wounded boys told reporters she's committed to helping promote gun safety in the community, and her son said he used to think of guns as a toy, but not anymore.
Jenifer Davis said it's a "miracle" that her 12-year-old son, Mason Kamerer, survived.
"As a result of this incident, I will be getting involved with issues around gun safety in the hopes of preventing this kind of situation in the future," said Davis, who said she has owned guns and always kept them locked but will be even more proactive in the future.
Mason told CNN he heard what sounded like distant gunfire and spotted Landsberry lying motionless on the ground before he found himself within 10 to 20 feet of the shooter, who said nothing before firing a single shot.
