Kevin Pietersen helps England close on 199 after poor start to Fourth Test
England 199-5: Latest report from the fourth Test between England and India
Stephen Brenkley
Stephen Brenkley is Cricket Correspondent for The Independent.
Thursday 13 December 2012
England discovered today in the Fourth Test that the series victory they crave against India will take patience, caution, guts and luck.
The tourists, 2-1 ahead in the series, finished the first day of the crucial final match on 199 for five, which is probably neither as bad as it sounds nor as good as it should have been. Kevin Pietersen, now as reintegrated as it is possible to be, was the top scorer with 73.
But after his departure the day was crucially seen out to the end by England's surprise debutant Joe Root and the ever dependable Matt Prior, who shared an unbroken sixth-wicket partnership of 60.
Pietersen's innings was at odds with almost all his other contributions as a Test batsman, his slowest of 51 scores above 50, played as if chipped from granite bit by stubborn bit. But like several of his colleagues, Pietersen was out in a moment of carelessness, chipping to mid-wicket, perhaps because a low, slow pitch could simply never be trusted.
The conclusion was also difficult to avoid that England's innings suffered badly from the early dismissal of their captain, Alastair Cook. They have become accustomed to his enduring presence at the wicket throughout the series and when he was given out to a highly debatable lbw decision with the dew not yet cleared off the outfield they were in unfamiliar territory.
England's team announcement was astonishing. Root, the 21-year-old Yorkshire batsman, was selected for his debut in place of Samit Patel. But he was also preferred to the middle order batsmen, Jonny Bairstow and Eoin Morgan, a considerable slight as Root came on this tour as an opener.
Whatever the reasons for his selection — perhaps because he can play spin bowling, perhaps because he bowls reasonable off breaks himself — he did not let England down. There are more viable positions in your maiden Test than to enter the arena on 119 for four but Root looked unflustered. Indeed, he looked the part.
He cover drove his third ball in international cricket for three and crisply placed his 10th firmly through mid wicket for his first boundary. These were the assertive strokes of a man who was at home. After that it was important that he stayed to the close and he duly accompanied Prior without alarm.
India had selection surprises of their own, bringing in Piyush Chawla for his third Test and his first since 2008, and Ravi Jadeja for his debut. It meant their bowling attack comprised one seamer and four spinners.
Losing the toss for the first time in the series did not make such a balance ideal but they were about to demonstrate that it hardly mattered. In the fifth over Ishant Sharma, the sole surviving fast bowler had Nick Compton edging behind one that lifted.
And then came the wicket that all India both wanted and needed. Cook was playing his usual waiting game, aware as always that crease occupation equated eventually to runs on the board.
He appeared to have moved his pad outside off stump when Sharma appealed for lbw. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena had already spared Jonathan Trott on similar grounds but now, to a nation's delight, he raised his finger. A review of the decision would have reprieved Cook but the system is not being used in this series.
A period of rebuilding, of standing and staring, was necessary for England. Trott and Pietersen provided it and took England to lunch and beyond. Eking out runs on the surface was barely straightforward but their stall seemed to be set out for the day.
In a lapse of judgement, Trott then shouldered arms to Jadeja's left arm spin and saw the ball go straight on to clip his off stump. For his fourth innings of his five in the series so far, Ian Bell's stay was all too brief.
He looked ready to dig in and wait for the runs to come of their own accord. But his drive at Chawla went low and unerringly to short extra cover and Bell's shake of the head for most of his journey back to the pavilion told its own story.
The difficulties presented by the pitch were easily discerned because of the way Pietersen approach his business. India cut off several run-scoring avenues by posting five men on the boundary but still he frequently found it difficult to formulate attacking shots.
There was the occasional vintage drive down the ground and the odd leg side whip but his innings took an untypical 188 balls. It was one of the latter strokes that ended his innings as he tried to exert his authority.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The 49ers' reward for beating the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers on the road is another game in an unfriendly environment. And the upcoming game against the Seahawks won't be played in just any venue.
CenturyLink Field has turned into a house of horrors for the 49ers, with the Seahawks beating the 49ers last season and this season by a combined score of 71-16.
Yet, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday he feels as if the path to Sunday's NFC Championship Game prepared his team for the challenge.
"Our team has been in a lot of good primers, been through a lot of situations, been through tough environments, whether it be weather or opposing stadiums," Harbaugh said.

Indeed. The 49ers are 8-2 on the road this season, including a 23-20 victory over the Packers in an NFC wild-card game and a 23-10 win in Charlotte on Sunday.
They beat the Packers despite frigid weather and brutal conditions. A week later, they dominated the Panthers after flying cross-country and playing before a partisan crowd for the third week in a row — they played in Arizona in the regular-season finale.
The Packers and Panthers enjoy a distinct home-field advantage. The Seahawks are on a different level, though, Harbaugh conceded.
"There's a lot of loud venues; I wouldn't want to disrespect any of the loud venues," Harbaugh said. "But I would have to say that that's the loudest, yes."
The Seahawks lost only one game at home the past two seasons. That came against Arizona late this season.
Harbaugh likened his well-traveled team — the 49ers played in London earlier this season — to a country song.
"Been everywhere, man," Harbaugh said. "Just like something from a Johnny Cash song, 'We've been everywhere, man.' Everywhere. A lot of situations."
• Much was made about the Seahawks restricting ticket sales to people who live in states near Washington but not including California.
Harbaugh isn't one of those up in arms about the exclusionary practice, which the Denver Broncos also did for their home AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots.
"Well, it's within the rules," Harbaugh said. "It's within the spirit of the rules of the National Football League. I actually respect it, what you're trying to do for your team, put them in the best possible position to win that you can.
"And I respect that their organization does that for their team. They do that in a lot of ways, with their team, with their fans, with their organization. So, what do I think of it? I respect it."
The NFL said its teams are allowed to use such an approach and that this isn't unique.

Or if you can't afford the money to get it out, how will you afford a baby? and the hospital bills for that said baby?posted 03/23/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I just removed mine last night with my husbands help. God bless him. I had pretty good cramping as it maneuvered down. I just breathed doTerra's Balance essential oil and did breathing exercises to stay relaxed. I felt such relief as it came out! This was my second IUD since my sons birth.. The first one I went to my doctor for removal. I was so tired of the side effects from this one and didn't want to wait or pay for it to be done. I already knew what to expect and was confident that if we did it slow and steady we could do it without any issues. I had nothing but trouble this time with the IUD...from discharge and odor to battling multiple yeast infections. I have already noticed a difference in 24 hours. The odor is gone and I feel so much better!posted 06/21/2014 by Doula805
I answered your previous question about getting pregnant with the IUD. If you cannot afford the 400- some odd dollars they want at your OB, try going to a clinic like i previously suggested.posted 03/23/2010 by tjholmes90

I'm so excited to finally be able to announce I took my iud out in my own finally after literally almost over 8 months of attempts, I'm 115 lbs so it was easiest to stake out squating right after intercourse :-) yay for baby making !!!!posted 03/22/2015 by ctate123
I went into my drs office to get my iud removed and he told me it could only be taken out while on my period which made no sense to me since after having the iud for a few months I didn't get my period anymore. I was really upset about leaving his office with no answers as to when I would be able to get it out since my husband and I really wanted to try for a baby. so that night after having a talk with my husband I asked him to just see if he could see the string and when he looked he saw it and pulled it very lightly and it came right out no pain or anything. im not saying you should do it im just saying for me it was no big deal and now I am 8 months pregnant so it only took me less than 2 months to get pregnant after taking it out and everything is going great and the baby is healthy. good luckposted 02/16/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
I jist did it literally fifteen minutes ago and it was kinda scary at first the first try i tried pulling it it didnt work so then i assumed maybe it would help if i got in a clean bath and tried and sure enough out it came i feel soooooooooooo much better and saved money and timeposted 01/28/2013 by penasophia65
I just removed mine last night myself I was nervous I was gunna chicken out and not do it but I pulle the string just a little and next thing I knew it was out if you haven't had any problems with it out of place and the string is fine do it I haven't had any blood or cramps after I did it and I feel so relived !posted 10/31/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Panama Working Hat
|Bodies hand woven in Ecuador, finished in the USA Exclusive to Jaxon Hats, the Jaxon Panama Working Hat was designed in California, the hat bodies were hand woven in Ecuador, and the hats were blocked and finished in Massachusetts. Panama hats are usually a combination of the world reknown material, Panama straw, and high-class traditional styling. We thought, Why not make a Panama hat that is also functional? This is the result: A wide brim for better sun protection. (The weavers in Ecuador had to make the hat body with a 6-inch brim so that the finishing in the USA could be done to the correct brim width. This allowed for the underwelt at the brim's edge, cutting of excess material, etc.) The "Uncrushable Insert" in the crown. We still suggest handling this hat by the brim and not the crown, but the insert protects against cracking by normal wear. The hat is sprayed with a DuPont Teflon which gives extra protection to the straw. Our USA manufacturer helped us develop the detachable chincord. On calm days, remove it. On slightly windy days, put the chincord behind your head catching under your hairline. On very windy days, fit under you chin. Updated model has added grommets in the holes where the hardware attaches."This is the hat I wear daily.

I Was Right On Time (Google eBook)
Simon and Schuster, May 11, 2010 - Sports & Recreation - 272 pages
From Babe Ruth to Bo Jackson, from Cool Papa Bell to Lou Brock, Buck O'Neil has seen it all. As a first baseman and then manager of the legendary Kansas City Monarchs, O'Neil witnessed the heyday of the Negro leagues and their ultimate demise.
In I Was Right on Time, he charmingly recalls his days as a ballplayer and as an African-American in a racially divided country. Whether he's telling of his barnstorming days with the likes of Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson or the day in 1962 when he became the first African-American coach in the major leagues, O'Neil takes us on a trip not only through baseball's past but through America's as well.

$63,559.00 Buy It Now <1m
Thank you for taking a look at this 1972 Chevelle SS. This American Icon is the ultimate show stopper, and was built to be of the best Muscle cars in the country. No expense was spared on the build of this Chevelle. The build of this Chevelle SS had two things in mind. One of them was ease of ownership and drivability, and one was creating a car that is the full package. From the Suspension to the powertrain, the interior to the paint, everything was done RIGHT. You will not find another Resto-Mod Pro Touring Machine on the market like this Chevelle. The car has spent it's life in California, until 2000, when it moved to Texas, and ultimately got it's build there, before making it's way here to Florida. The car has a perfect body and frame. No rust, no flaws, purely ready for any Rod show or Car meet.
The car is powered by a 496 Big Block boasting 610 horsepower and 605 foot pounds of torque. Unlike most Pro Touring cars out there, this car has the power to back up the look. Fast enough to easily outrun most sports cars today, this Chevelle is not for the inexperienced! The car has an MSD Pro Billet Ignition, American Auto Wire Wiring Harness, Magna Flow Stainless Steel 3" Exhaust, Big Mother Thumper Cam, Custom Made Valve Covers, March Billet Pulley Assembly, A Ford 9" Rear End, Custom Built 700R4 Transmission with a B&M shifter, and much more.
The suspension is full Ride Tech Billet Adjustable Air Ride. The car has an adjustable system, which can be controlled from the cockpit of the car with ease. Raising and lowering the car from either Presets, or by manually adjusting each corner of the car is effortless. The car drops to the frame, and can raise 8" from that point. The car has full Ride Tech Tubular Control Arms as well. The Coy Wheels finished in Satin Black with a polished lip match the look of the car amazingly. They are Staggered 20" in the front, and 22'" in the rear.
The car has Vintage Air Conditioning and Heat. It blows colder and hotter than any vintage car we have been in, making it a comfortable car to drive in any weather. The car has Dakota Digital Cruise Control which sets easily as well. The interior is finished in a LIKE NEW Black Interior, with everything from Perfect seats, to German Quality Thick Pyle Carpet and Trim. A Billet Specialties custom Steering Wheel give the car the little hot rod look that it needed on the interior, while still maintaining that Retro 1970's look.
The Car has a Competition Grade Custom Stereo, that was built for the most discerning Audiophile. Over $1500.00 alone was spent in Dynamat to keep the car rattle free, and feeling tight, like a car should. This is a step in a big build like this that MANY overlook, and it can make or break the feel of a car. In this case, this Chevelle is solid as a ROCK. The deck is a JVC DVD/CD Single DIN Receiver. In the trunk hides 6 (SIX) JL Audio 12" Subwoofers in a custom Fiberglass enclosure. The back deck houses 4 JL Audio 6"x9" Speakers. The car is powered by two MMATS Amplifiers, and supporting products. It is the ULTIMATE stereo system.
Please bear in mind, that this car was BUILT TO DRIVE. It was built to be enjoyed. Could it be a garage queen? YES. Could it live in a museum? YES. Should it? NO. This car was built to drive, built to be very fast, and very comfortable, all at the same time. No expense was spared in this car. There is over $110,000 invested in the build of this vehicle.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Police Searching for 2 Escaped Inmates
Kentucky State Police are searching for two inmates who escaped while being transported back to jail in eastern Kentucky after a court appearance. Police say Dallas Trent and John Trent, who are cousins, apparently jumped out of the transport van Wednesday afternoon when the jailer slowed down for another vehicle along a highway in Lee County. Kentucky State Police Lt. Christopher Crockett said troopers think one of the men was able to get his handcuffs off and unlock the door. Police say the men, who were jailed after a Wolfe County grand jury indicted them on charges of robbery, aren't armed but might be dangerous. Police say anyone who knows their location should call 859-623-2404 or 1-800-222-5555.

Jobless Rates Down in 119 Kentucky Counties
Unemployment rates fell in 119 Kentucky counties between February 2014 and February 2015, while Russell County stayed the same, according to the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training, an agency of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. Woodford County recorded the lowest jobless rate in the Commonwealth at 3.5 percent. It was followed by Fayette County, 4 percent; Oldham, Scott and Shelby counties, 4.1 percent each; Boone and Owen counties, 4.3 percent each; and Anderson, Jessamine, Spencer and Washington counties, 4.4 percent each.
Magoffin County recorded the state's highest unemployment rate – 14.3 percent. It was followed by Elliott County, 11.8 percent; Russell County, 11.5 percent; Carter County, 11.1 percent; Harlan County, 10.5 percent; Leslie and Menifee counties, 10.3 percent each; Letcher and Wolfe counties, 10.2 percent each; and Breathitt County, 10.1 percent. Unemployment statistics are based on estimates and are compiled to measure trends rather than actually to count people working. Civilian labor force statistics include non-military workers and unemployed Kentuckians who are actively seeking work. They do not include unemployed Kentuckians who have not looked for employment within the past four weeks. The statistics in this news release are not seasonally adjusted because of the small sample size for each county. The data should only be compared to the same month in previous years.

Floyd Co. B.O.E. Announce New School's Mascot and Colors
Floyd Co. B.O.E. has unveiled the mascot and school colors for the new Floyd Central H.S. During a meeting earlier this week, a team of future students of Floyd Central High School told board members they have decided on the Jaguar as the school's mascot and the colors will be Teal, Black, Gold and White. Three freshmen from Allen Central and three freshmen from South Floyd made up the group. According to the Floyd Co. Times, the group said one of their foremost goals was "starting fresh," rather than borrowing, adapting, or merging mascots and colors from either ACHS or SFHS. They also considered the long-term ramifications of the decision, hoping to avoid any sort of controversy like that courted in the past by Allen Central's use of Confederate imagery.
The paper also adds that Board member Linda Gearheart said this decision brings parity with the county's other high schools, as the Floyd Central Jaguars will now join the Prestonsburg Blackcats and Betsy Layne Bobcats in having feline mascots.
Billion-Dollar Verdict Rests on Disputed Missed Deadline
A missed court deadline could result in a billion-dollar windfall for Kentucky taxpayers from the manufacturer of Oxycontin. The state is suing Purdue Pharma for misrepresenting its prescription painkiller that resulted in a wave of addiction and increased medical costs across the state. The company had 45 days to respond to the state's claims. But in the middle of that window, the case was moved to federal court, and the deadline vanished. More than five years later, the federal court sent the case back to Kentucky. State officials say that restarted the clock to respond. The deadline passed, and a judge ruled in the state's favor. But attorneys for Purdue Pharma argue the old deadline was not valid. The state Supreme Court heard arguments in the case on Thursday.
Road to Close as Work Continues on Mountain Parkway
Construction on a bridge west of Salyersville that is part of the Mountain Parkway Expansion will require an extended road closure starting next week. According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, contractors expect to close Gifford Road beginning Monday. After the road is closed, motorists north of the Mountain Parkway will be able to access U.S. 460 to reach Salyersville, and traffic to the south of the parkway can access the parkway at Exit 72 by traveling Kentucky 3337 to Kentucky 30. The closure will speed construction of the bridge, which will be part of a new interchange near mile point 70 of the parkway, about five miles west of Salyersville. Construction on the bridge is expected to start in a few weeks. The speed limit in the area has been reduced to 45 miles per hour.

As part of his sentence, Conley was ordered to pay $130,000 in restitution, $104,000 to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and $26,000 to Morgan County.
Kentucky Supreme Court Reviews Floyd County Bullying Case
Kentucky's Supreme Court has heard arguments in a case delving into whether or not teachers and school administrators can be found negligent for the suicide of a bullied student. The case stems from the 2007 death of Stephen Patton, a middle school student in Floyd County who took his own life. Patton's mother sued teachers and administrators, claiming they were negligent by failing to stop the bullying. During arguments on Wednesday, an attorney for Patton's family said the boy was bullied in front of teachers. The attorney for Patton's mother, said school officials failed to follow the school district's anti-bullying policy. School officials say Patton never complained of bullying.

P.S.C Officials Hear Public Comments on Kentucky Power Rate Increase
Officials with the Kentucky Public Service Commission are giving area residents a chance to speak during a series of public meetings. The first meeting was held in Hazard on Tuesday night and another in Lawrence Co. on Wednesday. These meetings are to receive public comments on a 12.5 percent rate increase proposed by Kentucky Power, which would translate to an average increase of 22 dollars per month for residential customers. While there was some support for portions of the deal, many in attendance, including some local officials, told the PSC the increase would hurt people in the region. Company officials say buying the Mitchell plant instead of installing scrubbers on Big Sandy Unit 2 in Louisa saved customers nearly half a billion dollars, but local officials felt Eastern Kentucky lost out on the deal. There was at least some support for an economic development surcharge included in the proposal. Following this and other public meetings, the PSC will begin a formal evidentiary hearing May 5th in Frankfort. The next PSC meeting on the rate increase will take place April 16th in Pikeville.
Ky. Expands Booster Seat Law to Children Under 57 Inches
More children would have to ride in booster seats under a bill the Kentucky state legislature passed on Tuesday. Current law requires children under 7 years old and between 40 inches and 50 inches tall to be strapped into booster seats. But the bill headed to Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear's desk would increase the height requirement to 57 inches and the age requirement to 8 years old. However, children younger than 8 but taller than 57 inches would not have to ride in a booster seat. State highway officials say seat belts do not fit correctly on children shorter than 57 inches and can cause serious injuries in a collision. Beshear highlighted the issue in his annual State of the Commonwealth address.
Heroin Bill Passes with Needle Exchange
The months of anguished pleas from parents and former addicts — Kentucky families gripped in a noxious heroin epidemic — found some resolution Tuesday as a landmark bill to improve drug treatment and clamp down on dealers won passage in the legislature.

Steve Beshear is expected to sign the measure into law on Wednesday morning, allowing it to take effect immediately. After months of debate, the final agreement includes modestly tougher penalties for drug traffickers along with language that will allow health departments to establish needle exchanges.
Kentucky Freezes Gas Tax at 26 Cents per Gallon
Kentucky drivers will not get a tax break at the gas pump on April 1. State lawmakers agreed to effectively halt a scheduled 5.1-cents-per-gallon decrease in the state gas tax because it would have meant a $150 million cut to the state's road fund on top of a $129 million cut from a similar decline in January. Kentucky's gas tax is tied to the wholesale price of fuel. The current tax is 26.2 cents per gallon. It had been scheduled to fall to 22.1 cents per gallon on April 1. Instead, lawmakers agreed to drop it to 26 cents per gallon and freeze it so it could never fall below that. State transportation officials warned the road fund would run out of money by 2016 if lawmakers did not freeze the tax.

I was wondering two things....does anyone know if the acai palm from Brazil can grow here in Texas? and if so where i could purchase one to plant? I've done a web search but all they want to sell me is the weight loss supplement but i think it would be really cool to grow the plant and actually try the berrys for fun ;)
I am a big fan of the acai berry and its benefits and have done a lot of research on it.
From what I understand the Acai Palm has not done well outside of the Amazon rain forest. Something about recreating the conditions under which it thrives. Apparently the palm is almost completely under water for part of the year.
It is an excellent source of anti-oxidants. There are several ways to obtain the berry other than as a weight loss supplement. You can get it in juice form also. You want a product from a company that has freezed dried the berry soon after harvesting. Otherwise it looses its potency.
Just research the product and make sure it is listed at the top of the ingredients list to get the most from the berry.
I had the most delicious acai smoothie at a little stand in
Austin that's part of The Great Outdoors nursery on S. Congress. So I got the name of the product (which is frozen) and ordered it online. Here's a link:
Here is a link that might be useful: Sambazon
Açai palms (Euterpe oleracea) can technically be grown in TX, BUT they will not tolerate much freezing. Maybe Brownsville near a waterway or a protected spot in Galveston (bay side). They need high humidity and lots of rainfall/irrigation. A close relative, Euterpe edulis, is slightly more hardy and can survive to 26F in winter. These palms grow OK in south Florida, so they can be grown outside of the Amazon with success.
As far as purchasing, seeds are pretty easy to get online from various vendors. Plants can be gotten from online nurseries specializing in palms, but will cost quite a bit more. If you're serious about getting one, you should check out palmtalk.org where someone is likely to be growing it...
As far as super-fruits, gogiberry is much more suitable to grow in Texas. I'm going to grow some myself because the berries which originate in China to be sold here are not considered safe, since that government doesn't care about toxic contamination as long as not too many customers find out about it. Also Chilean Guava is really good for you and grows in most Texas climates...even Pineapple Guava if temps don't get too low where you live.
I also bought mine from Acai Farms. Yes you can get seeds cheaper like frmmi said, but I wanted bigger trees and wanted them fast. I was glad to pay the price and got three large trees for my money. They came healthy and seem to be doing well so far. I live in Zone 5 so put them in my solarium/greenhouse we enclosed ourselves under grow light. Acai Farms worked well for me. This year after three of us dealt with serious health issues, getting organic fruit grown here and fast was our only concern.
I tried seeds a year ago off the internet, but none of them sprouted even with the instructions followed to a letter. It was a dissapointing experience but now I can hope to keep these alive and have fruit in a year or so.
I guess it depends on your personal needs for how fast you want them. If you want them big and fast then Acai Farms is a good way to go.
Acai Palms(Euterpe oleracea) are ultra-tropicals(much more tender then coconut palms), you could probably get away with one for two or three winters on South Padre Island, but anything slightly below 40 should do them in. A similar palm, also called Acai Palm is Euterpe precatoria, it's native to a higher altitude, so is a little hardier. You could probably grow those in Harlingen/Brownsville/Port Isabel. Maybe even coastal Corpus Christi and Galveston Island.
