Mitchell Johnson Still In Ashes Mix

Mitchell Johnson Still In Ashes Mix - AUSTRALIAN coach Tim Nielsen said Mitchell Johnson could retain his tenuous position in the team if he impressed during a five-man pace shootout for the second Test.

Doug Bollinger and Ryan Harris have both rocketed into contention to play in Adelaide.

Nielsen fell short of guaranteeing Johnson's selection shortly after Harris hit town yesterday afternoon.

Bollinger, who took 3-32 on Monday for New South Wales in Perth, also rolled into the City of Churches yesterday, having pulled out of the Shield match against Western Australia.

Nielsen reacted sarcastically to talk of England's moral victory at the Gabba.

"We're going terribly. We're going awfully," he said.

"I can't believe they said that and I'm not sure we're even going to turn up on Friday."

Asked if he was gutted when he looked at the Gabba scoreboard and saw England's second innings total of 1-517, Nielsen replied: "I look up at the scoreboard and see a draw. In the end, nobody won."

Nielsen declined to make a call on his likely pace attack in Adelaide..

"We've got five fast bowlers here and I'm not going to commit to Mitch playing or not playing," Nielsen said.

"The next couple of days of bowling from all five fast bowlers will play a part in which three get the nod. That will be how they perform in the nets and how they come up physically. By Friday we'll be pretty clear.

"Mitch didn't have his best game in Brisbane but I don't think he was on his Pat Malone there.

"That's our job in the next couple of days, to get him back up and going. There have been players who haven't been able to perform in one Test match and they've come out and upped the ante in their next Test.

Contactless Debit Cards

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer. The first acquirer is TD Merchant Services, a unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank. More issuers and acquirers are on the way, an Interac spokesperson tells Digital Transactions News, though no announcements have been made yet. Interac and the banks tested Flash this summer at some high-volume, small-ticket merchants in downtown Toronto. The spokesperson expects national merchants will be making formal announcements about acceptance. “There’s a lot of excitement in the merchant community,” she says. “Merchants are looking for that faster throughput.” In a statement, the Retail Council of Canada endorsed the new card. “Interac Flash is a welcome and needed ...

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively. It's a similar story in El Centro, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., and Cumberland, Md. What's certain to follow? Foreclosures. "Negative...
