Khawaja ruled out of World Cup as Australia call up Wade Marsh
Manchester: Australia head coach Justin Langer has confirmed batsman Usman Khawaja will miss the rest of the World Cup with a hamstring strain. Top-order batsman Khawaja suffered the left hamstring injury in Australia’s surprise 10-run defeat by South Africa at Old Trafford on Saturday. Matthew Wade will replace Khawaja in the World Cup holders’ 15-man squad, subject to confirmation from the International Cricket Council. Khawaja’s absence will be a blow for Australia heading into Thursday’s semi-final clash with old rivals England at Edgbaston.

Mitchell Marsh has been added to the squad as cover for Stoinis, who missed Australia’s wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka before returning against Bangladesh. “Mitch Marsh is going to come on standby for Marcus Stoinis just to see how he comes up. If they have to come in they’ll be ready to step up,” Langer added.
At the other end of the scale, the least polluting option is egg and cress, which generates 739 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 eq.), making it twice as green its meaty counterpart. But according to scientists, sandwiches are having a major impact on the environment. In fact, the worst culprit – the all-day breakfast of egg, bacon and sausage – produces the same amount of carbon dioxide as driving a car for 12 miles. When the 4th Earl of Sandwich ordered his meat to be served between two slices of bread to avoid disrupting a card game, he probably did not expect his action would affect future global temperatures 250 years later. For the first time, researchers studied the whole life-cycle…

4. WE’RE all going to have to calm down and wait another day for news of our new Cabinet. Indications this morning are that the reshuffle will not be announced until tomorrow.5. FOLLOWING yesterday’s unbelievable result in the Germany, Brazil World Cup semi-final game (it ended 7-1, in case you hadn’t hear), Brazilians are now upset and humiliated. So, obviously, there’s a Tumblr (SadBrazilians.Tumblr.Com).6. THIS post was almost a Garth Brooks-free zone but then Ticketmaster released details on how ticketholders can get their money back.

Recently, we took you on a tour of a Verizon Wireless mobile “super switch”. In addition to learning about the facility we picked up some knowledge about how Big Red handles emergencies and other situations, in regards to keeping the network up or restoring it should the worst happen. However, I wanted to know what tools they used to monitor a network to tell if it’s working to begin with. Surely the “can you hear me now” guy isn’t their only method of testing a network.While inside the switch, I grabbed a the video below to see exactly how things work.According to Verizon their mobile technicians are tasked with monitoring the networks while out performing their normal tasks, but steps needed to be put in place to ensure things like SMS and data are flowing from the servers properly. What you are watching above is a script that is used to rapidly test SMS and mobile broadband from multiple devices simultaneously.According to Verizon, these phones are always on, and run that same test every couple of minutes. While it’s a little jarring to see, and I am sure my Matrix nightmares will be back for a day or two, it’s cool to see this kind of thing happening!

Et si les autres planètes étaient aussi proches de la Terre que la Lune ? Scale, une vidéo réalisée par le blogueur Brad Goodspeed, donne une vision surprenante de la dimension des planètes, en imaginant que celles-ci soient à la même distance de la Terre que la Lune.Comment avoir une impression concrète de la dimension des autres planètes du système solaire ? Brad Goodspeed, un blogueur et designer graphique a trouvé sa solution : les placer à la même distance de la Terre que la Lune. En effet, alors que l’orbite de l’astre lunaire avoisine les 380.000 kilomètres, ceux des autres planètes telles que Mars, Neptune ou Jupiter dépasse la centaine de millions de kilomètres. De même, alors que le rayon de la Lune est d’environ 1.700 kilomètres, celui de Neptune, par exemple, avoisine les 25.000 kilomètres.À lire aussiSpaceX : un satellite d’Elon Musk manque d’entrer en collision avec un satellite de l’ESADans sa vidéo, Brad Goodspeed s’est donc amusé à comparer les différents astres. Ainsi, il y donne une vision très concrète de leur dimension et un résultat pour le moins surprenant. Alors que les planètes sont toutes placées à une distance identique, certaines apparaissent en effet beaucoup plus proches que d’autres. Jupiter, par exemple, semble gigantesque à côté de Mars ou de la Terre elle-même. On se rend ainsi compte à quel point notre perception est influencée par la dimension des planètes.Sur son blog, la vidéo du designer graphique a suscité de vives réactions qui l’ont incité à reprendre quelques détails mais aussi à créer d’autres images à partir de son idée.Découvrez la vidéo Scale de Brad Goodspeed sur Maxisciences.Le 2 février 2011 à 10:22 • Emmanuel Perrin
L’Australie impose sa taxe carboneLe gouvernement australien a annoncé ce vendredi que 294 des plus grands pollueurs du pays devront payer une taxe carbone. Celle-ci sera mise en place dès le mois de juillet prochain dans le but de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.La semaine dernière, le Brésil donnait le tournis aux écologistes, cette fois c’est au tour de l’Australie. A moins d’une semaine du sommet Rio+20, le gouvernement australien multiplie les annonces “vertes”. Après avoir consterné les protecteurs de la nature en proposant de réguler les crocodiles marins par un tourisme “chasseur”, le pays prend ses responsabilités en matière de pollution atmosphérique. Malgré la faible popularité de la taxe carbone, Julia Gillard, Premier ministre, citée par le Winnipeg Free Press, a maintenu qu’il était essentiel de réaliser l’objectif de 2020 : faire chuter les émissions de gaz à effet de serre de 5% par rapport aux niveaux de 2000. Les entreprises et les gouvernements locaux qui produisent annuellement plus de 25.000 tonnes de dioxyde de carbone, ou l’équivalent d’autres gaz carboniques, devront donc payer une taxe de 23 dollars australiens (environ 18 euros) pour chaque tonne de dioxyde de carbone produite et ce, à partir du 1er juillet. BHP Billiton, la plus grande entreprise minière au monde, et Macquarie Generation, l’une des plus grandes centrales électriques d’Australie, sont sur la liste des futurs payeurs, tout comme les gouvernements locaux qui possèdent des décharges émettrices de méthane. L’industrie agricole, troisième plus gros pollueur d’Australie, devrait en revanche être exemptée de cette taxe, au vu des difficultés à mesurer les émissions produites par les fermes. Greg Combet, ministre du Changement Climatique, a déclaré que le nombre de pollueurs-payeurs pourrait changer dans les mois à venir, en fonction de l’augmentation ou de la diminution de leurs émissions de gaz à effet de serre. L’Australie est l’un des pays qui émet le plus de gaz à effet de serre au monde (en nombre par habitant). Une propension à polluer liée à sa forte dépendance aux abondantes réserves de charbon du pays : une ressource-clé pour sa production d’électricité.Le 15 juin 2012 à 11:33 • Maxime Lambert

Google is making its own Google Hotel Finder, its hotel price-comparison product, which enables users to filter for Zagat-rated hotels within Google’s 3-pack ad format.As a Koddi blog post points out, Google just added filters — price, rating, hotel class and more — right within its 3-pack style listings so there is no need for the consumer to navigate elsewhere to fine-tune their hotel searches.“Once a user selects a filter they are redirected to the local universal listings page,” Koddi stated “Users can then continue to narrow their search with the same filters, now available at the top of the listings page.”“After a user is finished filtering and clicks on the hotel they wish to book they are redirected to the hotel details page, where all of the offers from advertisers will be listed,” Koddi added.The impact of Google’s 3-pack format is that it drives traffic to third-party sites through organic search but also to Google’s hotel ads from online travel agencies and hotels. Google likely is taking market share from metasearch players with the streamlined navigation from its search results pages to its hotel ads.
