| FIRST-TEST COMMENTARY: DAY FOUR
Hard luck, Murali: your skipper reckons that's enough and calls the team in.
Sri Lanka 2nd Inns, 442-8: Vaas 6*, Fernando 9* 1112: Over 129 Just three singles from the over, and the site of Murali padded up and staring out through the grille of a helmet suggest the declaration is not imminent.
Sri Lanka 2nd Inns, 435-8: Vaas 5*, Fernando 3* 1108: Over 128 Fernando gets a single first ball, and Vaas guides the final ball of the over to third-man for two more. England will be quite happy to still be out in the field while the runs are coming at just a slow pace.
Sri Lanka 2nd Inns, 432-8: Vaas 4*, Fernando 1* 1104: The players take a drink, and Sri Lanka's innings will continue. Dilhara Fernando is the new batsman.
Brasch Words
And there before the aide was the latest AP-AOL poll. One-fourth of all Americans declared that President George W. Bush is the Biggest Villain of 2006. Osama bin Laden was far behind, with only 8 percent of the vote. "Four times worse than me!" said bin Laden, almost choking on his words. "But, Oh Mighty Force For Dissolving the Social Order, you have launched wars. You have brought about terror. You have disregarded human rights and shredded the written laws of two millennia. You alone have given new interpretations to our Holy Book." "And so has that Sand Flea Upon a Camel's Back," said Bin Laden, "and he's done it four times better." "But you have been able to do it without a press corps regurgitating your propaganda. You know how the media always inflate someone's worth." His aide's consolation didn't help.

Footprints, skeleton provide new evidence of South China tiger ...
BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- State Forestry Administration investigators found more than 100 suspected footprints of a South China tiger on Friday in Shaanxi Province, where photos of the big cat taken by a farmer have caused a national controversy over their authenticity. The Beijing Morning Post reported on Monday that Zhang Bin, a local forestry official who accompanied the investigators, said the team also found a skeleton suspected to belong to a young tiger. "It's like the skeleton of a cat," said Zhang, adding the bones had been sent to Beijing for DNA testing. "But experts said with a length of 50 centimeters, a cat would have grown tooth bones. This skeleton hasn't (teeth), it's like a cub feline. "The experts said there is a great probability that it belongs to a South China tiger cub." He said the footprints found in Zhenping County ranged from 12 to 16 cm, with toes.
Neuron Cell Stickiness May Hold Key to Evolution of the Human Brain
The stickiness of human neurons may have been a key factor in why the human brain evolved beyond the brains of our primate relatives. In a study comparing the genomes of humans, chimpanzees, mice and other vertebrates, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energys Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Joint Genome Institute (JGI) found a strikingly high degree of genetic differences in DNA sequences that appear to regulate genes involved in nerve cell adhesion molecules. .
