For me, a signal event of the summer break has been South Africa's victory in the test cricket series against Australia, marking definitively the end of Australia's domination of the sport. After around 15 years as the lone superpower of world cricket, we can now count ourselves as one of three or four competing powers, along with India, South Africa and perhaps England. And when the winning captain uses phrases like 'power shift' and 'new world order' to describe the implications of his siStemming Fistula: Social Contraception In Pakistan

Is There a Plan? Category: faith — Steve @ 07:22 am I periodically struggle with the Christian-ese concept of “God’s plan for my life”. It’s one of those catch phrases that folks tend to throw about without much understanding or meaning. The general sense is that God has a ‘Grand Plan For Each of Us’ and it probably involves selling all possessions in order to become a missionary somewhere in Africa. I don’t feel ‘called’ to go to Africa. Does that mean I’m rejecting God’s plan for me? Is thSmith breaks his little finger, out for 6 weeks
South Africa captain Graeme Smith will be out of action for six weeks after he broke his left little finger on the second day of the third cricket Test against Australia in Sydney today (Jan 4).
