Things are not quite to plan - my Mother was diagnosed with ....... a few days ago and is undergoing surgery this week. We pray for a good outcome. ......-------------------------------------------------------------------- By DAVID MURRAY and NATHAN SCHOLZ 12jan00 A BOY pulled to safety from the path of a taxi outside Brisbane's Gabba has thanked his rescuer ? Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar. Tye Ingebrigtsen, 9, said he was too shaken immediately after the incident to say a word to pace bowler, Akhtar. But speaking from his Deception Bay home north of Brisbane yesterday, he said: "Thank you for saving my life Mr Akhtar. I would have said it last night but I was in shock." The grade five student created international headlines when he was pulled from the path of the taxi on Monday night. He had gone to the Gabba with his family to watch the one-day match between India and Pakistan. After the match, he was caught up in a throng of more than 200 autograph hunters and found himself in the second lane of busy Vulture Street. Akhtar pulled Tye aside just as the taxi seemed certain to bowl him over. The paceman, who was recalled to the Pakistan team at the weekend despite a ban for chucking, said the boy had been "very close" to being run over. "He was coming down the middle of the road. I just grabbed him and pulled him up," Akhtar said. "He was going to nearly die, but thankfully he's safe." Akhtar shrugged off suggestions he was a hero: "I can't say that," he said before leaving Brisbane. Sergeant John Dinnen, who saw the lightning rescue, said Akhtar had lifted the boy into the air with one arm and pulled him to safety, just 60cm from the taxi. "He certainly saved that boy. The child would have been struck," he said. >>

A pure gamble of a trade.. AOL 75 35/8 on logic of a bounce off 200 days MA.. today we were just a $ short on 200 days ma..this is highly speculative and based on gut felling nothing else if it takes out 627/8 we are going to go lot lower, but a trade is too exciting a phenomenon to be overlooked at these levels especially when 4000 on Comp was breached after a test of lows, my exit would be 61$.. I will probably loose half of the premium.. on other possibilities I can look at LYCOS as Nuti of CSCO thinks..<<Nuti declined to specify who might be the next Internet company to make a mega-deal, but he said web-portals Yahoo! Inc (NasdaqNM:YHOO - news), Lycos Inc (NasdaqNM:LCOS - news) and Excite were logical choices.>>
