Jailed Mohammad Amir blames PCB for lack of education (Reuters)

LONDON (Reuters) ? Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir, jailed for six months on Thursday for his involvement in cricket's spot-fixing scandal, has blamed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for not educating players enough.

"I was not given enough information about the anti-corruption code by the PCB," Amir told Geo News Channel in London shortly after having his bail application rejected.

The 19-year old criticised his former captain Salman Butt and team mate Mohammad Asif, also both jailed on Thursday for their involvement in spot-fixing, for slandering him during the trial.

"They tried to rubbish my reputation and name during the trial and when the time comes I will reveal everything about this case," Amir said.

"I am really sorry for what has happened and I regret what I have done. I apologise to the Pakistani people for my actions," Amir added.

"I never realised what I was getting into," he said. "If at that time I had known it was going to end this way I would have stayed clear. I got carried away and it was the biggest mistake of my life."

Fresh Android Apps for Nov. 1: Google+ update, Crazy Pill HD, Alien Rescue Episode 1 (Appolicious)

Halloween night may have come and gone but our fascination with aliens goes on year around. Check out deepest cover up ever locked away in Area 51 with Alien Rescue Episode 1.

Download the latest in on-going updates to Google+ or take your medicine with Crazy Pill HD.

Don?t call it a comeback! Google won?t stop believin? in their social networking service Google+. They continue to update it often, the most recent being yesterday on Halloween.

This update brings a new visual design. The ?What?s New? notes call it a completely new app, so it?s not clear whether the app itself is a re-write or not. In any case, the graphic styling now looks like Google newest Android release Ice Cream Sandwich. The app also sports improvements to battery life, performance, navigation, and notifications and now allows signing out, support for Google App users, and includes several bug fixes.

Think endless bubble wrap. Pop colorful balloons with your fingers. Due to the multi-touch, you can poke many balloons at the same time using your whole hand. The trick is to clear all the balloons of one color before they drift off screen. If you succeed, magic pills appear that you must tap to consume. Look out! Poison pills will not only kill you but also end your turn.

Enjoy five worlds and 120 levels of balloon and pill-popping madness.

Remember Roswell, New Mexico in 1947? This is how things might have really gone down.

Aliens have crash-landed but you?re in charge of the alien emergency search and rescue spacecraft. Use your tractor beam to pick up stranded aliens or crates and other objects that you can hurl at hostile humans.

Avoid attack by humans on the ground and helicopters and fighter planes in the air. The more aliens you rescue and the less damage you suffer, the move points you score.

People With Sweet Tooths May Be Sweeter

60-Second Science | Mind & Brain

Study subjects who expressed a preference for sweet over savory tastes also tended to be more agreeable. Karen Hopkin reports.

More 60-Second Science

With Halloween around the corner, parents are fretting over what all that candy will do to their little goblins. Well, it might just make them sweeter. Because people who prefer sugary snacks actually seem to be more kind. So says a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. [Brian Meier et al, Sweet taste preferences and experiences predict prosocial inferences, personalities, and behaviors]

We often describe personality or behavior with taste-related terms. Think of someone who?s bitter, or sour or maybe even a little picante. But do our tastes in food really reflect who we are?

Scientists looked for a link between a love of sweet things and the tendency to be generous or generally agreeable. College students answered a series of questions about their character?whether, for example, they?re soft-hearted or enjoy insulting people. Then they rated their liking for a variety of foods, from cake and ice cream to cranberries, sauerkraut and salsa. And it turns out that kids with a sweet tooth see themselves as sweet.

And maybe they are. Those that liked candy more than crackers were more likely to volunteer around campus or for additional studies. So if you?re looking to score a little milk of human kindness, try putting out a plate of cookies.
