Hosts Ghana edge Namibia to go top of Group A
West Ham United right back John Pantsil, who was flown to Nigeria on Wednesday for a scan after suffering concussion against Guinea, was a surprise starter, which allowed Claude Le Roy to name the same line up for the second consecutive match. Namibia made three changes, with Dutchman Schans switching goalkeepers after Monday's 5-1 drubbing, Abisai Shiningayamwe making way for Athiel Mbaha. Ghana, marshalled by Essien in midfield, made clear their intent from the whistle, taking up permanent residence in the Brave Warriors' territory yet the underdogs kept them at bay for the first 30 minutes. Given that they were 4-0 down by the break against Morocco, the goalless scoreline up to the 40th minute spoke volumes for Namibia's newfound resilience. The Group A underdogs were fortunate to be let off though when Udinese striker Asamoah Gyan hit the ball over Mbaha's bar from 6m out.
Beat the clock
Although Wenger maintains that Walcott, who cost 13million as a 16-year-old, can still develop into a top-class striker, his patience snapped after he failed to make an impression in the semi-final second leg at White Hart Lane. i hope Megsons sat on the Emirates doorstep this morning waiting for Wenger to get in, maybe we could solve his Bendtner problem too and take him off their hands. .

Poor Record Keeping Means Comcast Gets To Charge Customers For Modems ...
Let's say you're a big cable ISP who has just bought another cable ISP. One of the things both you and the other cable ISP offered was an option to buy a modem or lease a modem. However, after taking over the other ISP, you discover that there are no records of which customers bought and which are leasing. What do you do? Well, if you're Comcast, you apparently just assume everyone is leasing it and start charging them a monthly fee, even if they actually had bought the modem. Even better, it didn't even bother to notify people of this change, it just added the charge, and didn't bother to do something as silly as to make it a line item on the online bill that many people check. It was on the printed bill, but for people who get the online version, they're not going to check the printed bill very often.

Financial Information and News
On Saturday Ms Munn went to the KEMH and had a chat with members of the Social Welfare Department. As a former Social Welfare professional, Ms Munn holds a great interest in social issues. She expressed amazement that the Falklands provide a whole range of services while having the population of a small village in the UK. Prior to leaving on Saturday's LAN flight Ms Munn held a press conference at Government House with FINN, Penguin News and FIRS. Ms Munn said that she found it interesting to come to the Falklands, especially her impression of the Islands' beauty and huge land area. "I am amazed how a small population manages in relation to a whole range of issues," she said as she explained how she met various members of the Government, Business community and Islanders. She mention some of the issues as flights, access issues, relationship with Argentina as well as the constitutional review not going on here in the Falklands as well as other Overseas Territories. "I am very please to hear that the discussions have gone so well," she said. "We are very keen on being able to run and manage their own lives but within the context of our responsibilities as Government. We are very clear that it is a matter of self determination for people on the Islands and that they want to remain British," she continued. "People felt rightly proud about the unique wildlife and conservation and I think it's the kind of thing that strikes you immediately," she said.
The Media’s War Against Haditha Marines
Case in point: the January 13 New York Times story 'Across America, Deadly Echoes of Foreign Battles,' which collates deaths at the hands of veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Times found 121 cases in which veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan committed a killing in this country, or were charged with one, after their return from war. "Bruce Kesler of the Democracy Project was among the first to note that despite finding the time to pen 6,253 words in this first article of the series, 'the New York Times could not find words to put the 121 cases of physical violence by vets in full perspective,' by providing the context of how these deaths measure up against the number of deaths attributed to similar civilian demographics.' "In an article in the Weekly Standard, John J.
