Scotland, UAE grab final 2015 World Cup berths

, , ,

(Reuters) – Scotland pipped Kenya to secure their third World Cup appearance on Thursday while United Arab Emirates (UAE) also booked their ticket for next year’s marquee 50-over tournament in Australia and New Zealand. On the final day of the Super Sixes in Christchurch, Rob Taylor shrugged off his poor form and, batting at number eight, blasted 46 unbeaten runs off 37 balls to help Scotland reach the 261-run victory target with three balls to spare. Opting to bat first, Kenya rode Alex Obanda’s 89 off 101 balls to post a competitive 260 before being all out on the...

Has Obama Kept Promises on Climate Since Last State of the Union?

Has Obama Kept Promises on Climate Since Last State of the Union?

, , ,

In his State of the Union address a year ago, President Barack Obama promised that he would begin tackling climate change, whether or not Congress wanted to cooperate. (See related, “Obama Pledges U.S. Action on Climate, With or Without Congress.”) “If Congress won’t act soon to protect future generations,” he said in one of the most defiant lines of his speech, “I will.” (See related, “10 Ways Obama Could Fight Climate Change.”) The centerpiece of Obama’s promise was cutting back on carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. But as he prepares to deliver another State of the Union speech...

The syndicate running the fake Indian currency racket remains a booming enterprise, and Nepal has been playing a vital role in keeping it alive. Yunus Ansari, Nepal’s kingpin of counterfeit currency smuggling, was arrested...

RUKUM: Diarrhoea and pneumonia of late have claimed lives of at least four children, with many others suffering, in Rukum, stoking fears that the entire region could come under the grip of the diseases.

Leaders in abundance

Either Gethin Jenkins or Ryan Jones are normally captain when Warburton isn’t available, and those two are injured for Wales’ first game against Italy. But lock Jones has shown what a good leader he is, so there’s no drop-off there. Roberts is also back at centre and ready to take charge of the defence, while you’ve also got Mike Phillips’ experience at scrum-half, Adam Jones in the front row and Lydiate, who led the midweek Lions last summer, in the back row so I don’t see many problems. The beauty of Gatland’s tactics is that if someone is missing,...
