But the popular vote will go with New Zealand, the under-rated counter-punchers who beat Pakistan by five wickets last night. Not only are Daniel Vettori’s team classic outsiders, but they won the Spirit of Cricket award at last week’s International Cricket Council dinner.

New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori said hjis side would have liked to have a day’s rest, but insists the thrilling win against Pakistan has fired up his men.

“I wish we had another day before the final, to be honest,” Vettori said. “It was exhausting to get through the late game, but I think once Monday turns up the adrenalin will take over and everyone will be pretty excited about playing in a final.”

“I think you probably have achieved what you set out to achieve. But once you reach that level, you realise there is an immense desire to go all the way and I think there’s no relief in the camp,” he said.

Ponting says their side will have to be at their best against the Black Caps.

“The Kiwis have probably upset a few along the way,” said Ponting. “We know they are always a competitive team and few gave them a chance against Pakistan but they were obviously the better team.”

“It’s the first time in a few years we have not been ranked the number one team coming into a tournament like this. But we are happy with the way we have played one-day cricket over the last three to four weeks,” he said.

Michael Jackson Died at Age 50

LOS ANGELES: Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and set the world dancing to the thumping rhythms of his music in the 1970s, died on Thursday, online website reported. He was 50.

The website reported that Jackson suffered a heart attack just after 12:00 pm (1900 GMT) local time and paramedics were unable to revive him.

Jackson’s manager Tohme E. Tohme was not immediately available for comment when contacted by media. Officials at UCLA Medical Center where Jackson was treated also could not be reached for comment.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devin Gales would not confirm Jackson’s identity but said paramedics went to an address corresponding to the star’s home at 12:21 pm (1921 GMT) and the person was taken to UCLA Medical Center.

An unidentified family member earlier told TMZ — the first outlet to report that Jackson had suffered a cardiac arrest — that the star was in “really bad shape.”

Michael’s father Joe Jackson told E! Online he was aware of the emergency but did not know further details.

“I am in Las Vegas, but yes, people in Los Angeles called me and are with Michael and tell me he was taken to the hospital,” he said. “I am not sure what’s wrong. I am waiting to hear back from them.”

The reports came as Jackson prepared to make a keenly anticipated concert comeback in London, his first series of shows in more than a decade and the first since his 2005 acquittal on child molestation charges.

However those concerts — billed as the “final curtain” — had been thrown into doubt after Jackson pushed back the opening dates last month.

Organizers of the concerts had stressed the delay was not linked to Jackson’s health.

Promoters and producers AEG Live said the rescheduling was done because of the “sheer magnitude” of the show and the desire for fans attending the opening nights to get the same experience planned for all 50 shows.

In a press conference from the United States broadcast over the Internet, AEG Live president Randy Phillips was asked about Jackson’s health and said: “I would trade my body for his tomorrow. He’s in fantastic shape.”

While Jackson reigned as the “King of Pop” in the 1980s, his once-stellar career had been overshadowed by his colorful public behavior, his startling physical transformation and multiple allegations of child abuse.

Jackson lived as a virtual recluse following his 2005 acquittal on charges including child molestation and plotting to kidnap his young accuser.

Despite his acquittal, the trial was a body blow from which the pop music superstar struggled to recover.

Four years later, Jackson is still worshipped by fans for revolutionizing music, dance and music videos at the peak of his success.

The attention however paid to him in recent years has been less flattering, focusing on apparent cosmetic surgery — which he denies — his baby dangling antics and a decade of swirling child abuse allegations.

Cash for Clunkers” Program | InvestmentWatch

The Senate passed the Cash for Clunkers Program today, which gives consumers with cars that get less than 18 miles per gallon the ability to turn them in for a $3,500 or $4,500 cash voucher. The bill was nearly defeated by Republicans, but Democratic support saved the day in part due to Obama's lobbying of the program. The President still needs to sign the bill into law.

Although many people believe that the program is designed to reduce global warming emissions through the eradication of gas guzzling cars, its true purpose is to help out struggling automakers and car dealers with new car sales. A person who receives a credit as part of the program cannot buy a used car with the monies. Car sales in 2009 are predicted to be nearly half of what they were in 2008.

The bill was sponsored by Senator Debbie Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat and one of the states most affected by the turmoil in the auto industry. After the bill was passed, Stabenow said, This is an emergency for families and small businesses - for an industry that has been the backbone of our economy for a generation."

The program will be implemented by the Transportation Department and this is expected to happen by early August. As part of their duties, the Transportation Department will create a public website for consumers and dealers to get more information, will certify "cash for clunkers" dealers and distribute the program vouchers.

USOpen.org is a Webby Awards Nominee!

The first round of the United States Open at Bethpage greeted golfers with waves of heavy rain and gusts of wind Thursday morning, turning the job of hitting golf shots and holding golf umbrellas into a perilous enterprise. Play was suspended at 10:16 a.m. because of heavy rain.

It was fitting that one of the early leaders in such tough conditions was Andrew Parr. He was one under after two holes, a score held by a few others, usually briefly, as players struggled in the wind and rain. The greens were continually squeegeed, sometimes while players were on them, to keep the water off.

When Tiger Woods and his marquee group, which also included Ángel Cabrera and Padraig Harrington, stepped to the first tee with the rain falling steadily, fans near the crowded the tee box managed to keep a sense of humor. After applause greeted Woods’s introduction like a crack of thunder, one fan yelled out, “Go, Padraig.” Another shouted, “Go, Tiger.” There was a pause, and then from across the bleachers, someone yelled, “O.K., I’ll bite.” Cabrera said earlier in the week that he would not be intimidated by playing in front of the large, boisterous crowds that follow Woods. On the first hole, he did not handle the commotion well. He drove into the left rough, but Woods drove even farther left, his ball landing in front of a merchandise tent.

Woods put his second shot in a greenside bunker, after which photographers and fans scurried for position. Photographers were trying to get back inside the ropes and fans were trying to hold their ground in a scrum that looked like the Holland Tunnel entrance at rush hour.

A policeman was trying in vain to get people to stand still while a few yards away Cabrera stood over his ball. Instead of backing off the shot, he hit the shot and struck it poorly, then looked back and glared at the crowd.

His ball landed well in front of the green, leading to a bogey. Woods saved par, and Harrington, who was on the green in two, three-putted for bogey.

When the group arrived at the second green, it was met by six volunteers with squeegees. They dried the green while the players were reading their putts, then took more swipes at the green between putts.

It was Cabrera, though, who steadied himself while Woods and Harrington struggled. Harrington fell to four-over par by the fifth hole, where Woods made double-bogey after missing the fairway with his drive, hitting into a bunker and missing a 15-foot putt for bogey. That put him at two over.

Woods birdied No. 6 with a 25-foot putt to get one of those strokes back.

Course officials had adjusted the course setup in the morning to account for the weather, moving up the tees on four holes — Nos. 7, 9, 10 and 12 — because the ball would not roll at all on the wet course.

“We have two to four people at every green using squeegees, sometimes between every putt,” Jim Hyler, vice president of the United States Golf Association and chairman of the championship committee, said before play was suspended. “The issue we’re going to have is the 18th green. If we weren’t working on it, it might be a pond right now. We’re just watching the weather to see how bad it gets. So far we’re O.K. The golf course is draining well except in a few spots, like 18 and hole No. 2. There’s no lightning on the radar.”

The forecast currently predicts steady rain all day, with up to an inch of rain total. The temperature is not expected to top 65 degrees.

“We’ve also adjusted where we considered putting certain hole locations,” Hyler said. “We had to choose spots that are less risky in terms of water buildup. We put holes away from the green locations where water might build up.”

Friday’s weather is expected to be dry but cloudy, with temperatures reaching the mid-70s.
