The cricket hasn't knocked horseracing off the top as leading sport in terms of total betting turnover, but on days when the cricket has been on everything else has taken a back seat. There's been an enormous amount of interest during any given Test. There's massive trading of positions all day. People have their computers on next to their televisions. They bet literally hundreds of times in the course of a match. |
The development team has worked extremely hard on creating unique and exciting features to appeal to every fan of the game. All these new features - the innovations in the batting system, the new pitching mechanics, Artificial Intelligence tendencies driven by Inside Edge, the new Pure Motion Physics movement system and so much more - combine together seamlessly to create an authentic and thrilling MLB video game. |
The guy (pitcher Jarrod Washburn ) fell ... it's a base hit. They scored it right the first time. We just happened to score two runs and (the Angels) probably complained after the game in their home park, but what's fair is fair. And the truth of the matter is the guy came off the mound hard to field a bunt, his spikes got caught a little bit on the grass and he slid, and C.C. had the play beat once that happened. |
The Herald Sun Tour is one of the premier cycling events in Australia, so the boys and I are keen to make a good showing in our own country, ... The race actually suits us well, there will be a few bunch kicks and a tough day in the hills, but it should come down to the uphill time trial to decide the overall winner. I hope that either I or Danny Pate has the legs on that day to bring home the win for Jelly Belly. |

The last few pieces I've been doing, they really are highly emotional and like grand opera in some ways. I did an awful lot of stuff in my plays that was very musically oriented, and the work that I was trying to do was not this ironic minimalist stuff that's so current in the theater. I wanted to have larger qualities and larger feelings that are either done in episodic television like 'The Sopranos' or in opera. |

The Philippines and the Bay Area share a long history and maintain strong ties due to the large population of Filipino Americans residing here. Beyond the local bridges across the Pacific, Filipinos are great friends of the United States, having come to our aid during World War II, making great sacrifices in that cause. It is important that when our comrades in the Philippines need our help, we respond as friends. |
the powerful lesson from Enron for me is the power of self delusion and how people rationalise and deceive themselves. And I think when Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling say they are innocent now, as they do with their trial approaching in early 2006, they mean it on a certain level. One smart financial observer said to me that he's never met the CEO of a fraudulent company who didn't come to believe in what he'd created. |
The problem is one of attitude. What is it that an IT professional expects from somebody who is blind Ñ do they think that a person will be able to do work, function as a normal human being, socialize and get along with people in the workplace? Or do they think a blind person is weird and can only pick up a phone? IT professionals should examine their thinking about blindness and root out the typical stereotypes. |
The purpose of the report is to allow people to ask intelligent questions, to raise important issues, to make a better decision about where they might want to seek treatment. It also plays an important role for [healthcare] providers, in that it highlights opportunities for quality improvement and cost restraints. We think that process is at least partially responsible for why we're seeing mortality rates go down. |
The unprecedented magnitude of this agreement is a reflection of the importance and value that both parties place on our relationship. It seems fitting that the world's largest directory publisher and the world's largest directory printer will continue to be working together. We are very proud and excited that AT&T Yellow Pages has the confidence in our performance to award us this new work and contract extension. |
The way our team operates best, it seems to me, is when everybody has an equal voice -- right down to the guy who has 10 days in the big leagues. It seems like everybody treats each other with respect, and there isn't that ranking of [service] time and stuff like that. I think that's when things can kind of go south. I think when you play it cool and everybody treats each other equally, then you get better things. |
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire? / And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me. |
