Some people find the game of cricket
diffficult to understand.
Perhaps the following will help:
The game is played by two groups.
The first group is in and the second group goes out.
Some of the group which is in, go out.
The group that is out, tries to get the group that is in, out.
When one of the group that is in, is out, he goes in and the
next one goes out.
Then when all of the first group (except one) that is in, is out,
the second group that is out goes in.
The first group now goes out and tries to get the second group,
who now are in, out.
Only when both groups have been in and out twice is there a
conclusion.

Al-Qaida Plan: Islamic World in 15 Years
Al-Qaida has a master plan to take over the world and turn it into an Islamic state - by the year 2020.
Wishful thinking? Not in the minds of the top terrorist lieutenants interviewed by Jordanian journalist Fouad Hussein for a new book - including Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, mastermind of many atrocities in Iraq.
The plan, which is revealed for the first time in the Australian publication The Age, has seven phases:
Phase 1: The "awakening" in the consciousness of Muslims around the world following the 9/11 attacks, which were aimed at provoking the U.S. into declaring war on the Islamic world and mobilizing Islamic radicals.
Phase 2: "Opening eyes," the current period, which should last until 2006. Hussein said the terrorists hope to make the "Western conspiracy" aware of the "Islamic community" as al-Qaida continues to form its secret battalions.
Phase 3: "Arising and standing up," which should last until 2010 and bring increasingly frequent attacks against secular Turkey and archenemy Israel.
Phase 4: Lasting until 2013, this phase will see the fall of hated Arab regimes, including Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Oil suppliers will be attacked and the U.S. economy will be targeted with cyber terrorism.
Phase 5: An Islamic state, or caliphate, can be declared between 2013 and 2016.
Phase 6: "Total confrontation," beginning in 2016, will see the Islamic army begin the "fight between the believers and the non-believers" that has been predicted by Osama bin Laden.
Phase 7: "Definitive victory."
Hussein writes that this phase should be completed by 2020, and that the terrorists believe the caliphate will prove victorious because the rest of the world will be beaten down by an army of "one and a half billion Muslims."

This girl was very excited about her teddy bear. She wanted to show it to everyone.
To the left is investment banker Michael Hammer of Pontchatrain Capital.
He spent the past week getting the police anything that they wanted
according to police sources. He saw the girl and her family walking the
wrong way trying to evacuate. They said they had been walking around
for hours. So he drove them to the evacuation point. The little girl was
very appreciative and thanked him for the ride.
