 Ian Bell was looking in fine touch before he was dismissed © Getty Images Ian Bell has been dismissed for 49, bowled by Suranga Lakmal for 49 off 53 deliveries. Lakmal was expensive in his first spell and has struck immediately after Angelo Mathews decided to bring him on. Bell along with Joe Root were looking to steady England's innings after they lost two wickets in quick succession. Skipper Eoin Morgn is the new batsman and he needs to spend some time at the crease as he has not been in the best of forms lately.

Although the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity has accomplished a great deal in recent ...

| Republicans Humiliate Boehner, Tee-up Next Week's National Crisis
|
 Humiliating their leader again, House Republicans rejected Speaker John Boehner's last minute, desperate attempt to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for three weeks. Instead, in what is another sad look at how truly incapable of governing today's Republican Party is, a one week emergency extension was passed with massive Democratic Party support. Howls from the right-wing caucus seeking a knife fight over the DHS bill could be heard across Capitol Hill. And moderates are equally outraged that the GOP has been hijacked by the "delusional wing of the party," as Rep. Pete King ...

President Dwight Eisenhower warned against the growing power of the military-industrial complex, but even the former 5-star general Supreme Allied Commander in World War II couldn't do it. The quagmire of Vietnam couldn't do it. The quicksand of Iraq couldn't do it. The killing fields of Cambodia couldn't do it. The Bush/Cheney failure on 9/11 couldn't do it. Allowing bin Laden to escape at Tora Bora, and then failing to find and capture him, ...
