British judge rejects Pakistan cricketers' appeals against jail terms

LONDON— The Associated Press

Two disgraced Pakistan cricketers lost their appeals against jail sentences Wednesday in one of the sport's biggest fixing scandals.

The judge at London's Court of Appeal upheld the prison terms handed to Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir for their role in spot-fixing during a test between England and Pakistan last year.

Justice Igor Judge said the cricketers betrayed their team, their country and their sport.

Butt, the former Pakistan captain, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail earlier this month after being convicted of conspiracy to cheat and conspiracy to accept corrupt payments.

The 19-year-old Amir pleaded guilty and was handed a six-month sentence in a young offenders' institution.

Mohammad Asif, who was sentenced to 1 year in jail for his part in the case, decided not to appeal. Agent Mazhar Majeed was sentenced to 2 years, 8 months.

The players were convicted of conspiring with Majeed to bowl deliberate no-balls as part of a betting scam during the fourth test match at Lord's in August 2010.

The cricketers were caught after Majeed was recorded by an undercover reporter working for the now-defunct News of the World tabloid saying that the three Pakistan players had accepted money to fix betting markets by bowling three no-balls at prearranged times.

Majeed was secretly filmed accepting $242,000 in cash from the journalist.

It was the biggest fixing scandal in cricket since South Africa captain Hansie Cronje was banned for life in 2000 for taking bribes from bookmakers.

When people start using Dropbox, they start small but often need more and more space over time. We’ve created a bunch of free ways to get more space, but also make it simple to get loads of space really fast.

Take A TourFor people new to Dropbox, there are a few things you should try out first — we want you to install Dropbox on a bunch of computers, use our sharing features, and more. We’ve put together a list of tasks to get started; and when you finish this quest, you’ll get an extra 250MB free. 

Tell Your FriendsA while back, we noticed that most of our growth was from word of mouth: people that love Dropbox tell their friends. We’ve built a way to invite your friends to Dropbox that gives you both extra space (250MB for free)! We’ve made it really easy to email your friends from your address book and post to Twitter or Facebook. We’ve also given you a link to put anywhere on the web.

Pink Floyd is amazing, but...

    

by dezekerel

Don't get me wrong. I love Pink Floyd and every single album they have put out. But They are not meant to be listened to in a "greatest hits" type manner. Their albums are meant to be listened to as wholes and not as different single tracks. Sure the songs on here are great, but they're even better when they are with what is supposed to be around them. If you are getting into PF, this is a fine place to start though. But if you really want to get into them then get Wish You Were Here first, then DSOTM, then the Wall, then Animals. After that, choose whichever other Pink Floyd albums in any order. You will not be disappointed that way.

Missing out 

     

by asdf89

I agree with what another user posted. I love Pink Floyd and there are some great songs on here. However your missing out on the genuine experience of listening to the albums as a whole. For instance to listen to songs like"Money" and "Brain Damage" without having owned Dark Side of the Moon wouldn't be right. Albums like that need to be listened to as a whole to truly appreciate them.
