Barclays English Premier League

MU see off Wigan
Afp, Manchester

Wayne Rooney kept Manchester United on course for the Premier League's top spot before being struck down by injury as the European champions secured a tense 1-0 win at home to Wigan on Wednesday. United can now climb to the top of the table for the first time this season if they win at Bolton on Saturday after Rooney's first minute goal sealed victory against former United centreback Steve Bruce's team. Although Wigan had arrived at Old Trafford in fine form, having won six of their last seven league games, their record against United was a sorry six defeats from six meetings in the Premier League, so the form book was certainly on the champions' side as they attempted to edge to within two points of leaders Liverpool. But even so, United's lightning start took the breath away as they opened the scoring inside the first minute when Rooney pounced on Ronaldo's cross from the right flank. The United winger easily beat his marker on the edge of the penalty area and his cross into the six-yard box was missed by defender Paul Scharner, allowing Rooney to stroke the ball home from close range. It proved to be Rooney's last involvement in the game, though, with the England forward succumbing to injury just six minutes later. Ferguson replaced Rooney with Carlos Tevez and the Argentinian forward - whose future at the club is far from secure - should have doubled United's lead after being teed up by John O'Shea midway through the first-half. O'Shea's header from Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland's clearance freed Tevez thirty yards from goal, but the former West Ham striker over-ran the ball after rounding the keeper and he could only aim his shot into the side-netting. Wigan did not sit back, however, and they caused United a host of problems through Ecuadorian winger Antonio Valencia. Valencia, reportedly a January target for Real Madrid and Liverpool, delivered a series of dangerous crosses, but strikers Emile Heskey and Amr Zaki failed to take advantage. United failed to heed the warning, though, and Wigan were the dominant team early in the second-half as United allowed themselves to drop too deep. Ryan Taylor and Zaki both had goalbound efforts blocked and Maynor Figueroa forced Edwin van der Sar into a difficult save with a swerving volley from 30-yards on sixty-seven minutes. When Heskey directed a Valencia cross just wide of the near post seconds later, Ferguson raced to the touchline to berate his under-performing players. The manager's rallying call went unheeded, however, and United continued to toil away. Fortunately for their title hopes, though, they were able to hold out to claim their fifth 1-0 win in seven league games.

Grameenphone Test Series Bangladesh-Srilanka

Opportunity beckons for Bangladesh
mehedi
Bangladesh coach Jamie Siddons gave a long look at the pitch prior to his charges' practice session ahead of the today's tri-nation final at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

It's however the same surface where Bangladesh pulled off the scintillating five-wicket victory over their fellow finalists Sri Lanka in the last league match to confirm the final berth.

Siddons would definitely love to see his captain Mohammad Ashraful call the toss correctly again to allow his bowlers to take the early advantage in the foggy conditions.

The Australian however was more concerned with his poor top order batting and it seemed that the Tigers coach was well aware with the fact that it would be unwise to expect special efforts in every match like Shakib Al Hasan and Mashrafe Bin Mortaza did in the last league match to achieve a tough challenge.

Rather there would be need for all the players to play their part and thus respond as a team if the Tigers want to rewrite history by winning the tri-nation tournament as previous record suggests that the Bangladesh goes into long hibernation after one good win.

Which was the reason why despite the victory the Bangladesh coach sounded cautious with the poor top order batting and the poor running between wickets, which has become a new headache for the team. It's too tough for any team to afford the luxury of two to three run outs in every match and the way Tamim Iqbal fell victim of it was really ridiculous.

"May be it happened because of nervousness but we should ensure one thing that we will not lose wickets in the first 20 overs," said Siddons while talking with the reporters yesterday.

The Bangladesh coach however was optimistic about his team's chance in the final. "Hope everything will fall into place tomorrow (Friday)," he hoped.

On the eve of the final the question remains: can Bangladesh win two big matches on a trot to make a history? And Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful had to face the harsh question whether they will take a long leisure after a fine win against Sri Lanka on Wednesday.

"We are not thinking about what we did in the last match rather we want to take it as a new game. It has not happened that we have won two consecutive big matches but it doesn't necessarily mean it will not happen forever," said a confident Ashraful in a pre-match press conference.

"It is a good opportunity for us as we are in the final. Our confidence was down a bit after the first match but we have bounced back with the win against Sri Lanka. If the eleven of us bring our best cricket in the match and do well in all three departments then we can surely hope for a positive result," he added.

He also echoed his coach's sentiment that their top order needs to come out from the poor showing.

"We have to show improvement in the top-order. So far we have not managed a start which is very important. We need to make sure that if one of the top three gets set then he should bat as long as possible. A good start makes the job easier for the next batsmen coming in," Ashraful observed.

"Irrespective of the opposition we play every game to win. We realize that tomorrow we have a genuine chance if we do the process right and stick to the game plan. All of us want this year to be a big year for Bangladesh cricket. We want to compete well with the big teams and get positive results. Tomorrow is an opportunity for us to win a trophy and we are aware of that," he said.

It will be a new history if Bangladesh can lift the trophy but the Bangladesh captain know that in that case they have to prove that they are also 'consistent' sometimes.

Israel shells UN office, hospital in Gaza

UN operations suspended; terrified residents flee for cover as toll nears 1,100

Afp, Ap, Gaza City

Israeli strikes set media and UN buildings and a hospital ablaze yesterday as tanks rolled deep into Gaza cities even amid hope that the war on Hamas that has killed nearly 1,100 people may soon end.

Hundreds of terrified civilians, many gripping wailing children, fled the advancing Israeli troops inside Gaza City as warplanes pummelled the battered Palestinian enclave where half the population is under the age of 18.

While battles raged on the ground, Egypt kept up Western-backed efforts to end the 20-day-old war that was launched on the Islamist Hamas in response to rocket fire and that has killed an estimated 600 civilians.

Shortly after UN chief Ban Ki-moon arrived in Israel, a raid hit the main UN compound in Gaza, wounding three employees, setting fire to a warehouse filled with tonnes of aid, and leading the UNRWA agency to partly suspend operations.

"I have conveyed my strong protest and outrage and demanded a full explanation," Ban told reporters after holding talks with Israeli officials as part of a regional truce tour.

The UN chief, who has for weeks called for a ceasefire in Israel's deadliest offensive ever on Gaza, repeated his call, saying the death toll of close on 1,100 people had reached "an unbearable point."

"We have no more time to lose, we must end the civilian suffering now," he said.

Israeli tanks shelled downtown Gaza City yesterday and ground troops thrust deep into a crowded neighbourhood for the first time, sending terrified residents fleeing for cover and increasing pressure on Hamas rulers to accept a proposed ceasefire to end Israel's devastating offensive.

The Israeli military would not discuss its operations and it was not clear whether the intensified assault on Gaza City signalled a new phase in the three-week-old Israeli campaign.

Israel has balked at all-out urban warfare in the narrow alleyways of Gaza's big cities, where Hamas militants are more familiar with the lay of the land and Israeli casualties would be liable to spiral. But Palestinian witnesses said Israeli tanks fired shells at least three high-rise buildings in the downtown area as ground troops advanced into a crowded residential area on the outskirts of the city.

The advance into Gaza City's Tel Hawwa neighbourhood and the shelling of downtown Gaza City came as United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon was due to arrive for meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. He was coming from Egypt, which has been working with Israel and Hamas to secure at least a temporary halt in fighting.

But Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni insisted the Jewish state would decide how and when to end its massive campaign launched to stem consistent rocket fire from the Palestinian territory.

"We are doing our own assessments on a daily basis and according to them, we will decide when to stop," she said.

In southwestern Gaza, an Israeli strike hit the Al-Quds Hospital in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood, where dozens of Israeli tanks rumbled into the streets in the post-dawn hours sparking fierce clashes with Palestinian gunmen.

The flames were contained and no injuries were reported in the hospital, where hundreds of frightened civilians had taken shelter to escape the battles raging just a few hundred metres (yards) away.

"I brought the children to the hospital because they were scared at home, but here they are even more terrified," 40-year-old Hossein said as he huddled with his wife and five children in the pediatric ward.

"We can't take this any longer. Look at my children, they're trembling," he said as mothers nearby tried in vain to console their crying children and make them laugh.

An Israeli raid also hit a building housing several media outlets in central Gaza City, wounding two cameramen.

In all, at least 40 people were killed in Gaza on Thursday, but the exact number of casualties was likely to be much higher as the ongoing clashes blocked ambulances from reaching the wounded, medics said.

Since Israel unleashed its Operation Cast Lead on December 27, at least 1,073 people have been killed and at least another 5,000 wounded, according to Gaza medics. Among the dead are at least 355 children, 100 women, 117 elderly men and 12 medics, they say.

Israel says 10 Israeli soldiers and three civilians have died as a result of combat or rocket fire in the same period.

Palestinian militants remained defiant, sending nearly 20 rockets and mortars into Israel, without causing injuries.

Despite the raging violence, Ban said: "I believe that elements are in place for the violence to end now."

Israeli envoy Amos Gilad arrived on Thursday in Egypt, which has been spearheading Western-backed ceasefire efforts.

Gilad was to be briefed by Egypt's pointman for Israeli-Palestinian affairs, intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, the day after Hamas presented its "vision" for a ceasefire, limiting its acceptance to the plan's "broad outlines."

"This crucial meeting should last two or three hours, and Gilad should leave this afternoon to inform the Israeli government for them to take a decision," a diplomatic source close to the negotiations told AFP.

"Israel doesn't seem to want to hurry, another shuttle visit could happen to reach an agreement in the context of the Egyptian initiative," the source said.

Although Egyptian and Spanish diplomats said on Wednesday that Hamas had accepted Egypt's truce plan, a Gaza-based leader of the Islamist group said after talks with officials in Cairo that it did not reject its "broad outlines," without accepting the plan outright.

Israel has made stopping its deadliest offensive on Gaza conditional on a complete halt to rocket fire from the territory and a stem to arms smuggling from Egypt into Gaza.

Amid the diplomatic push on Thursday are emergency sessions of the UN General Assembly and Gulf Cooperation Council.

Israel's offensive has sparked widespread concern about a humanitarian crisis in one of the world's most densely populated places where the vast majority of the 1.5 million population depends on foreign aid.

BNP pledges to work with govt for nation's progress

From the daily star news

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia yesterday said her party deputies will attend parliament from its inaugural sitting and play a constructive role there. She urged them to lead honest and constructive lives, shunning luxury. "We hope the government will take the country forward in cooperation with the opposition. We want to assist the government and we want the government creates that atmosphere and maintain it," Khaleda said after a meeting of the BNP Parliamentary Party. After taking oath in the afternoon, the BNP lawmakers held the meeting at Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban and elected Khaleda unanimously as their leader in parliament and decided to send a copy of the decision to Speaker Jamiruddin Sircar to recognise her as the leader of the opposition. Later at a briefing at Khaleda's Gulshan office BNP Vice-President MK Anwar said the meeting authorised the party chief to pick her deputy in the House, nominate one for the election to the post of deputy speaker and choose lawmakers for other posts including the opposition chief whip and whip. The significant directive to the lawmakers for leading honest and constructive lives, refraining from luxury, came at the meeting, said a number of lawmakers who attended the meeting. Khaleda also asked her party deputies to play constructive roles from their respective positions and support the government's good work and oppose the wrong ones, they added. The BNP chief directed senior MPs of the party to arrange an orientation programme for the new lawmakers so that they can understand their responsibilities in the House. At the meeting BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury proposed Khaleda Zia's name as the parliamentary party's leader and MK Anwar seconded it. The proposal was passed unanimously. At the press briefing, Khaleda said party lawmakers would join parliament in the interest of the nation despite knowing about the "massive rigging" in the December 29 parliamentary elections. Asked if the BNP secretary general will be changed, Khaleda said changes would be brought from the grassroots to the central levels of the party. On ratifying the 114 ordinances promulgated by the Fakhruddin Ahmed-led caretaker government, Khaleda said they would assist the government on this. "We want that the Awami League will discuss the matter with us because the country and its people are related to it," she said. About the Awami League's poll pledge to elect the deputy speaker from the opposition, she said, "They promise but deviate from it. We hope they will keep their words...So far they have not given any proposal in this regard. If they give one, we will consider it." Earlier, outgoing Speaker Jamiruddin Sircar administered oath to 28 lawmakers of the BNP and three of its allies--two of Jamaat-e-Islami and one of Bangladesh Jatiya Party--at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban. The oath taking ceremony was not broadcast live by the state run Bangladesh Television although it had aired live the oath taking of the lawmakers of all parliamentary parties including those in the AL-led grand alliance. In a reaction to this, the BNP chief said, "The people will understand from this discriminatory attitude of the government that its words and deeds do not go together." Khaleda alleged that 17 of her party leaders and workers have been killed so far in the AL's post-poll violence. "From the home minister's comment on this it is clear where the government wants to take the country," she said. "The government has created this chaotic situation to divert people's attention from its poll pledges," she added. Before taking oath, Khaleda retained Feni-1 seat, vacating Bogra-6 and 7 seats. Taking oath, the opposition lawmakers promised to discharge their duties faithfully and have faith in and allegiance to Bangladesh. They also pledged not to allow personal interests to affect their duties. The Parliament Secretariat handed them copies of the constitution, rules of procedure of parliament, and remuneration and allowances order. In the latest battle of ballots, BNP faced a humiliating defeat and got only 29 seats, which is the lowest number of seats the party has won in any national election since 1979. Political analysts blamed the election debacle on unbridled corruption and misrule by the ministers and lawmakers of the BNP-led alliance in their five-year tenure.

Paid Content

Paid content is a good monetization method for bloggers that regularly offer useful information — especially if this information helps others make money.

20. Amazon Wish List: Although it’s not cash, asking readers to buy you items from your Amazon Wish List will save you from having to buy things yourself. Again, they’ll feel more rewarded knowing they’ve given you something tangible.

Opportunities

21. Writing Gigs: By showcasing your writing talents on your blog, you’ve provided a living resume to any blog network or news site that might be interested in hiring you.

Ads

Ads are generally the bread and butter of bloggers. However, they’re also the most likely to irritate readers. To keep a happy balance, focus on relevance and make sure that you’re not overloading your blog with too many ads.
