Laxman, who enjoys a great batting record against Australia, hopes that he would continue his good form and asked every member in the famed batting line-up to rise to the occasion. “The key is to get big scores in the first innings. It puts the opposition under pressure. That is one area where we need to improve a lot. We need batsmen to get big hundreds so that we can set big totals on the board,” Laxman told reporters here Friday....
Greenspan to ask ‘Whassup’: In an effort to recast his image from stern inflation hawk to fun-loving homeboy, Fed chairman Alan Greenspan will appear in one of Budweiser’s popular “Whassup” TV commercials. In the commercial, Greenspan is greeted by several members of his “posse” with the now familiar salutation, “Whassup,” to which the Fed chief responds, “I’ll tell you what’s up: the consumer price index, reflecting tightness in the labor markets and resultant wage pressures....
The folks at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles agree. They invited the group–Elizabeth Streb/Ringside – to inaugurate this month’s reopening of MOCA’s second building, the Temporary Contemporary, which has been closed for three years. The TC, as everyone calls it, is a former warehouse rehabbed in 1983 by architect Frank Gehry. With soaring ceilings and 45,000 square feet of exhibition space, the TC is perfect for Streb and the eight human projectiles she calls her dancers....
Forty-one days later, there was no crowd waiting when the murder charge was dropped and Burke came home from jail. The open-and-shut case popped back open shortly after his arrest. Within 24 hours prosecutors learned that DNA collected from saliva on Mrs. Kennedy’s chest couldn’t have come from Burke. Incredulous, they ran more tests, which again exonerated him. In addition, the blood found on Burke turned out to be feline; he had been tending to injured cats....

Robert Aaron Long, the suspect in custody charged with eight counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault, was apprehended by law enforcement around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Authorities said a 9mm firearm was found in the car Long was driving when he was arrested. It was the only weapon they said they found.

The Blaugrana have made five new signings this summer, none of whom are yet registered with La Liga. They have also extended the contracts of Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembele, but remain unable to register them as well. While free agents Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen could still walk away from their contracts, Barca don’t have the same luxury where a transfer fee has been paid. The contracts of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Jules Kounde could be in peril if the club fail to meet the league’s requirements....
All we really know at this point is that, despite being an XBLA title, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare will feel like a fully-fledged retail release, and that this title is not meant to replace Alan Wake 2. Besides that it’s been a ton of speculation including a pretty convincing menu screen that had us believing Alan Wake’s Night Springs was the official title. Not to say that this German classification board is incorrect in any way, or that the title for German markets may have been altered, but typically these types of things tend to be universal....
The trial involved 40,000 participants in Latin America and Europe, and the company said more than two dozen variants of the virus were found, which may have affected the results of the trial. “The results are sobering,” said CureVac CEO Franz-Werner Haas. “We recognize that demonstrating high efficacy in this unprecedented broad diversity of variance is quite challenging.” Despite the current results, the company is aiming to finish its final analysis before determining if it will seek regulatory approval from WHO....
The lack of fear is a tribute to Kohl’s greatness. But it also says a lot about the stability of Europe’s richest and most powerful country. Germany in 1998 does not need Kohl the way the young German Empire needed Bismarck more than a century ago–as a restraining force to keep a giant in check. The significance of a victory by Social Democrat Gerhard Schroder–with or without a grand coalition–will be more symbolic than genuine, even in terms of its economic impact....
According to the Bild newspaper on Friday, which cited a friend of the family, the separation did not occur overnight as the marriage had been going through a long crisis, reports Efe.

Supposedly, 56-year-old Loew is set to take up residence in Berlin, while his wife plans to stay in the family home in Wittnau, southern Germany, and continue to address the financial affairs of the family....
Zelenskyy acknowledged German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s support for his country but said “Germany can do more,” during an interview with the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Tuesday. He also said Germany has not provided his country with military help but that it could, citing Germany’s “great” ships, speedboats, missile speedboats and patrol boats amid his country’s ongoing conflict with Russia-backed separatist rebels in Ukraine. “I am convinced that the conflict can only be solved by political channels, and that should be clear to all involved,” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said to reporters after Zelenskyy’s comments were made....

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INDMBnTosF4 Battlefield 3 launched last year, just before Modern Warfare 3, and despite a slightly lower average score from critics compared to its competitor, it was a major success for publisher Electronic Arts for two reasons. From a sales standpoint, Battlefield 3 represented the single-biggest launch for EA to date and it was used to help launch their own digital platform and service, Origin, which now is a mainstay for future EA titles....
What Is Gmail Recent Mode? Microsoft Outlook and iPhone Mail download messages from your Gmail account every 15 minutes. When you have both programs connected to Gmail, the two compete for new mail. Whichever checks first after a new email has arrived fetches it and hides it from all programs and devices that check the same Gmail account later. Recent mode offers a solution to this inconvenience. With recent mode enabled in your email program or mobile device, Gmail will send it the last 30 days’ mail, even if it has already been downloaded elsewhere....
