WORST PERFORMED BY ENGLAND

This is the worst performance by the England team as they tour against india in india soil. since they lost all the 5 one day international matches against the home team India and their bad time continues in the test match too giving 0-1 lead to the Indian at the end of the 1st test. Apart from the English captain Kevin pieterson and Owais shah, noone scored well and even the bowlers failed to pick the wickets routinely. In Indian side, Yuvraj singh is giving his best with bat as well with his bowling skill. He scored two centuries in consecutive matches and won the man of the match award. He still maintains the English bowler to bowl with fear which was started in twenty twenty world cup quickest 50 knock. Sehwag and Gambhir are also giving good partnerships at the opening wicket and Dhoni is consistent with the bat. Zaheer khan is back to the squad with a lot of stuff in him and took most of the English wickets in both ODI and test series. Trully Indian are proving that they are the better side than the England team.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR CELEBRATION STARTS IN AMERICA

Celebrated as a religious and secular holiday by most Americans, Christmas is among the biggest holidays in the US. One major American contribution to the Christmas tradition is the turkey - a fowl native to North America - and now regarded as a Christmas dinner staple. Other Christmas treats include pumpkin pie, candy canes and eggnog.

In New York, the Rockfeller Center Christmas tree has become a top attraction. Put up since 1931, it has become symbolic of Christmas in the Big Apple. The massive spruce - which can be 30m in height - is a sight to behold, bejewelled with glittering lights and topped with an elaborate star.

When it comes to ushering in the New Year, Americans usually celebrate with a party the night before. A common theme is the masquerade ball where guests play dress up and unmask after midnight. In Times Square, New York, thousands of revelers gather for an annual countdown that has been custom since 1906. At a minute to midnight, a giant ball descends from the top of a tall pole as people count down to the New Year. A huge hit with tourists and locals alike.

With its Portuguese roots, American ties and native customs - Mexico celebrates a hybrid version of Christmas steeped in holiday's Christian heritage and country's cultural norms. Nativity scenes or Presepio are common in churches, homes, and stores, as is a folk play called Los Pastores (The Shepards). In the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, there is an unusual pre-Christmas festival called Noche de Rabanos or Night of the Radishes, where master veggie-carvers turn the humble but strikingly colored root vegetable into wonderfully elaborate sculptures of saints and nativity scenes. Corn husks and dried flowers are also used to create a dazzling array of intricately fashioned art pieces.

Nines days before Christmas Eve, a procession dubbed Posadas - essentially a reenactment of the journey of Mary and Joseph as they sought shelter in Bethlehem - is held where 'pilgrims' travel from door to door seeking shelter. It is arranged such that only the third home will welcome the 'pilgrims'. Following a prayer session, a party is held for children, complete with a piñata, a papier-mache receptacle filled with candy, fruit and treats.

At midnight on Christmas Eve, the birth of the Christ Child is heralded with fireworks, bells and whistles. Unlike many other parts of the world, children in Mexico only get gifts on 6 January, on Dia de los Reyes Magos(Day of Three Wise Me). But increasingly, many are adopting Christmas Day as the day for the exchange of presents.

New Year in Mexico is a similarly elaborate affair with huge street festivals, complete with music, dancing, food and the clamor of fireworks held on the eve. Some New Year traditions include eating 12 grapes for luck as the clock strikes midnight!

BATMAN'S DARK KNIGHT GOES TO OSCAR

Dark Knight Oscar chances just brightened considerably.

The late actor scored his first major posthumous win of the awards season, as he was named Best Supporting Actor today for his demented Joker job by the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association.

The Fox Searchlight flick keeps padding its award résumé, having been named Best Picture by the National Board of Review last week.

BRITNEY UNDERGOES DRUG TEST

Who knew that the first thing you would hear after being hired to dance for britney would be, "Fill this, please."

A source tells E! News that, in an effort to keep the on-track pop star free from negative influences, her camp is requiring that all of her backup dancers submit to drug tests.

"They all had to be drug tested and, if they didn't pass, they were fired," the insider says.

"I think they only do it for her because she is under strict watch. I think they just want good influences around her," the source adds, noting that drug testing is not common practice.

Considering Britney spends a hefty chunk of time with her fellow performers—and is going to be next year with a number of them—it's understandable that those who look after the Circus star want to screen her stagemates ahead of time.

"It's going to be a pretty big tour," says Robert Baker, the studio director at Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood, where Spears frequently rehearses. "They're going to have a three-ring circus with live animals, so it's probably stricter liability."

"I don't think it's a common practice, but each artist is different," Baker tells E! News, referring to the drug-testing issue. "Everyone is just trying to safeguard against any foreseeable problems."

AMERICA BACKS INDIA

The United States must stand with India and all nations and people who are committed to destroying terrorist networks, and defeating their hate-filled ideology,? said Obama, who takes over from Bush Jan 20, in a statement issued from his transition headquarters in Chicago. Stressing as he has done repeatedly since his Nov 4 election ?There is one president at a time, Obama said, "I will continue to closely monitor the situation on the ground in Mumbai, and am grateful for the cooperation of the Bush Administration in keeping me and my staff updated.?

?We fully support the Bush Administration's efforts to protect American citizens and assist the government of India during this tragic time,? he said. Obama and his wife Michelle also sent 'deepest condolences to the loved ones of the American citizens who lost their lives in the outrageous terrorist attacks in Mumbai.' ?Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and with all who have been touched by this terrible tragedy,? he added.

President Bush, who is 'closely' following the Mumbai crisis, at his Camp David presidential retreat just outside Washington, too reassured America's continued cooperation to India 'against these extremists' who offer nothing but violence and hopelessness. ?My Administration has been working with the Indian government and the international community as Indian authorities work to ensure the safety of those still under threat,? he said in a statement issued by the White House. ?We will continue to cooperate against these extremists who offer nothing but violence and hopelessness,? he added.

Bush said that First Lady ?Laura and I are deeply saddened that at least two Americans were killed and others injured in Wednesday's horrific attack in Mumbai. We also mourn the great loss of life suffered by so many people from several other countries, and we have the wounded in our thoughts and prayers.?

Earlier White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said, ?National Security Council, State Department, counterterrorism, and US intelligence community officials gathered on Thursday 'to review the situation and actions that are underway and can be taken to address the series of terrorist attacks.'

?The FBI legal attaché office in New Delhi is working with the State Department's Regional Security Officer (RSO) team and monitoring the situation closely. The RSO teams have visited hospitals and hotels to locate and identify any injured US citizens,? Perino added.

Obama too is receiving regular updates from the State Department operations centre and the National Counter Terrorism Centre, according to Obama's transition office.

STATUE OF LIBERTY

The Statue of Liberty National Monument officially celebrated her 100th birthday on October 28, 1986. The people of France gave the Statue to the people of the United States over one hundred years ago in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty has grown to include freedom and democracy as well as this international friendship.

Sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was commissioned to design a sculpture with the year 1876 in mind for completion, to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence. The Statue was a joint effort between America and France and it was agreed upon that the American people were to build the pedestal, and the French people were responsible for the Statue and its assembly here in the United States. However, lack of funds was a problem on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In France, public fees, various forms of entertainment, and a lottery were among the methods used to raise funds. In the United States, benefit theatrical events, art exhibitions, auctions and prize fights assisted in providing needed funds. Meanwhile in France, Bartholdi required the assistance of an engineer to address structural issues associated with designing such as colossal copper sculpture. Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) was commissioned to design the massive iron pylon and secondary skeletal framework which allows the Statue's copper skin to move independently yet stand upright. Back in America, fund raising for the pedestal was going particularly slowly, so Joseph Pulitzer (noted for the Pulitzer Prize) opened up the editorial pages of his newspaper, "The World" to support the fund raising effort. Pulitzer used his newspaper to criticize both the rich who had failed to finance the pedestal construction and the middle class who were content to rely upon the wealthy to provide the funds. Pulitzer's campaign of harsh criticism was successful in motivating the people of America to donate.

Financing for the pedestal was completed in August 1885, and pedestal construction was finished in April of 1886. The Statue was completed in France in July, 1884 and arrived in New York Harbor in June of 1885 on board the French frigate "Isere" which transported the Statue of Liberty from France to the United States. In transit, the Statue was reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates. The Statue was re-assembled on her new pedestal in four months time. On October 28th 1886, the dedication of the Statue of Liberty took place in front of thousands of spectators. She was a centennial gift ten years late.

The story of the Statue of Liberty and her island has been one of change. The Statue was placed upon a granite pedestal inside the courtyard of the star-shaped walls of Fort Wood (which had been completed for the War of 1812.) The United States Lighthouse Board had responsibility for the operation of the Statue of Liberty until 1901. After 1901, the care and operation of the Statue was placed under the War Department. A Presidential Proclamation declared Fort Wood (and the Statue of Liberty within it) a National Monument on October 15th, 1924 and the monument's boundary was set at the outer edge of Fort Wood. In 1933, the care and administration of the National Monument was transferred to the National Park Service. On September 7, 1937, jurisdiction was enlarged to encompass all of Bedloe's Island and in 1956, the island's name was changed to Liberty Island.

On May 11, 1965, Ellis Island was also transferred to the National Park Service and became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. In May of 1982, President Ronald Reagan appointed Lee Iacocca to head up a private sector effort to restore the Statue of Liberty. Fundraising began for the $87 million restoration under a public/private partnership between the National Park Service and the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc., to date the most successful such partnership in American history. In 1984, at the start of the Statue's restoration, the United Nations designated the Statue of Liberty as a On July 5, 1986 the newly restored Statue re-opened to the public during Liberty Weekend, which celebrated her centennial. The Statue of Liberty was closed as a result of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Although Liberty Island re-opened after being closed for 100 days, the Statue remained closed until August 3, 2004. Visitors now have access to the Statue's pedestal obervation deck, promenade, museum and the area of Fort Wood.

TOP 5 CRIMES IN AMERICA

1. JACK THE RIPPER

Jack the Ripper is the alias given to a serial killer who killed a number of prostitutes in the East End of London in 1888. He was also called the Whitechapel Murderer and "Leather Apron." He comes from at night, kills violently, and disappears without a trace. His case remains a mystery even if hundreds have tried to solve it. The unsolved mystery is still one of the most popular and most discussed. In fact, there have been more books written on Jack The Ripper than all of the American Presidents combined.

Case: Killed 5 prostitutes which were then called as “The five canonical murders”. How he killed those women? First, he strangles them until unconscious if not dead. Then he would cut their throat. In most of his crimes, he took body parts like internal organs such as the kidney. There were no signs of any sexual intercourse or masturbation. He just kills, rips off an internal organ and then disappears in the night. After more than 100 years, no one ever knew the identity of Jack the Ripper. The case remains an unsolved mystery.

2. BOSTON STRANGLER

Boston Strangler was the name given by the murderer in Boston, Massachusetts during a period of 18 months (Between June 14, 1962 and January 4, 1964). The murderer was also called "The Green Man and The Measuring Man". The crime was actually confessed by Albert DeSalvo during 1964, a Boston native who was a patient in a mental hospital that time. There have been lots of speculations about who the real Boston Strangler really was. In fact during 2001, family members of the victims and even Albert DeSalvo's brother wanted to force the state to open the case again.

Case: Killed 13 women. He sexually assaulted most of them. The women lived in apartments and were strangled using articles of clothing. Even though DeSalvo admitted killing the women, evidence points out that no physical evidence can be linked against him. Doubts still remain up to this time. DeSalvo was sentenced to life imprisonment during 1967 and a few months after, he was murdered in prison by inmates.

3. THE BLACK DAHLIA

Who killed her? That's really a mystery. This wannabe actress namely Elizabeth Short fled from Hyde Park, Massachusetts to California to take a shot at acting. She was called as “The Black Dahlia” because she often dresses in all black. She attempted to woo different types of men including George Knowlton, father of Janice Knowlton, the author of Daddy Was the Black Dahlia Killer. Rumors also say that she also had an affair with Marilyn Monroe.

Case: January 15, 1947, the body of Elizabeth Short or commonly known as The Black Dahlia was found in a lot. Her body was cut in half, beaten and so bruised. She had reportedly been sodomized after death. There are several pictures in the internet for those who dare to watch the horrific pictures of her death. Even until now, her death still remains a mystery.

4. D.B COOPER

D.B Cooper is also known as Dan Cooper. He was the lone hijacker who got away with $200,000 in cash as ransom money on November 24, 1971 and never got caught.

Case: Hijacked Boeing 727 at 10,000 feet, asked for ransom for $200,000 in $20 dollar bills and four parachutes. He then jumped out of the plane and vanished into thin air. After an 8-year FBI investigation, no money, no body, no parachute was ever discovered and recovered. Until now, D.B Cooper got away with the perfect crime and never got arrested.

5. JACK THE STRIPPER

If there's Jack the Ripper, there is also Jack The Stripper. His crimes are similar to Jack the Ripper's. The unknown serial killer is responsible for the possible murder of eight (8) prostitutes.

MOST FAMOUS MONUMENTS

1. Enema Monument

A health spa in Russsia has unveiled on June, 2008, its tribute to a medical procedure it administers there routinely: the enema! "We administer enemas nearly every day," said Alexander Kharchenko, the head of the sanatorium which specializes in treating illnesses of the digestion tract.

"So, I thought, why not use our sense of humor and give it a monument," he said of the bronze statue that stands about 1.5 meters high. Local artist Svetlana Avakova, who designed the monument which cost around 1 million roubles ($42,000), said Botticelli's classic painting Venus and Mars had given her the inspiration to tackle the tricky subject.

2. Fellatio Monument

Jeju Island, a.k.a the next Hainan, is a subtropical island in South Korea. Also known as the honeymooner's island, it's got a lot to build a romantic atmosphere: balmy weather, soft sand, a pretty coastline, and more. There's also the sex garden.

Jeju Love Land is a "sculpture theme park" that features giant statues of naked ladies, naked gents, and all sorts of sexytime fun. Much like the potato chip, a portrait of oneself next to Love Land's fellatio monument is a blogger's best dream come true. There's a gift shop on the premises that sells all the accessories you'd expect.

3. Monument to Radioactive Decay

What do you do when you have a barn-sized pile of nuclear waste materials that you have to store for 100 years while it loses its toxicity? In the Netherlands, the answer was to stick it inside a giant art project: specifically, this orange building called the Habog Facility, covered in physics formulas by Einstein and Planck. Every twenty years, the building will be repainted in a lighter color to symbolize the slowly decaying radiation in the waste.

The waste in the building comes from two different nuclear reactors. Under local law, it must be stored for 100 years. William Verstraeten, the artist who designed the facility, views his piece as a commentary on metaphorphosis. Open for tours, the building also contains four symbolic paintings.

4. Upside-down Monument to La Trobe

This contemporary monument to Charles La Trobe in central Melbourne was removed at the end of June 2006 and has been acquired by La Trobe University.

5. World's Largest Booming Prairie Chicken

This massive prairie chicken is propped up in the small town of Rothsay, Minnesota. From the plaque: "Prairie chickens moved ahead of the settlers to inhabit the prairies of Minnesota. A large concentration of the protected bird can still be seen on prairie meadows of the Rothsay area. In the early spring the male prairie chicken performs his mating ritual called booming. This statue of a booming prairie chicken was designed and built by Art Fosse with assistance and funds from the community. The statue stands 13 x 18 feet and weighs 9,000 pounds. It was placed on this site and unveiled, June 15, 1976. "

6. Penis Monument: 30 foot

An amusement park in the city of Changchun in northern China has just constructed the world's largest penis. A sure way to bring a few extra customers (but maybe put off a few too), this 30-foot phallic named the Sky Pillar is a concrete pole wrapped in straw at the Longwan Shaman Amusement Park. Apparently it's all for historical reasons: Legend says a Shaman hero named Ewenki vanquished a cruel female ruler and gave her a penis totem, telling her to respect males and not kill them at will.

7. Monument to Rocky Balboa... in Serbia!

Big monuments can really make a town. Especially when there's nothing else to see. The Serbian village of Zitiste knows this. Sick of getting on the tourist radar only for heavy flooding and landslides, they've come up with a plan to make Zitiste famous for something quite different: a giant statue of Rocky Balboa.

The Serbians of Zitiste want to get this right, and have not only asked for assistance from Philadelphia officials (experienced in such matters), but have also formed the Association of Rocky Balboa (Zitiste). There is even method behind their madness: "We wanted to create a new image of our village ... We thought long and hard about what would represent our new image, and we came up with Rocky Balboa. He is a character who never gives up and even when he looks to be beaten he picks himself up and wins through."

8. Monument to Benedict Arnold's injured foot

The Boot Monument is an American Revolutionary War memorial that commemorates an unnamed American Patriot general, Benedict Arnold. The monument commemorates Arnold's contribution to the Continental Army's victory over the British in the Battle of Saratoga. Arnold was wounded in the foot during the Arnold expedition as well as at Saratoga near where the monument is located at Tour Stop #7 - Berryman Redoubt. The injury effectively ended his career as a fighting soldier. Benedict Arnold is not mentioned by name on the monument because, several years later the wounded Arnold turned traitor to the United States and joined with the British and their Loyalists. Arnold attempted unsuccessfully to hand over his American command, West Point, to the British. Although this attempt failed, Arnold was given the rank of a British brigadier general and the British exchequer paid him £6,000.

9. Shark Monument

The Shark became the most famous resident of Headington (Oxford, UK) when it landed in the roof of 2 New High Street on 9 August 1986. This ordinary home (built as a semi-detached house in about 1860 but now attached by a link to a second house to the north) suddenly became the centre of world attention, and the headless shark still excites interest today.

10. Monument to the Pig

The monument in Kalach is Russia's first dedicated to a pig. "We wanted to thank this wonderful animal for all it has given to the area." said Nikolay Astanin, general director of the local meat industry in Kalach, close to the south western city of Voronezh.
