| Cricket-England batsmen backing off is a ploy, says Johnson Tuesday, Dec 31, 2013 07:44 PM PST Mitchell Johnson believes England's batsmen repeatedly pulling away just before the ball is delivered during the Ashes series is a deliberate ruse to unsettle Australia's pace bowlers. Johnson, whose pace bowling has helped Australia to a 4-0 lead in the series, got into a row with Kevin Pietersen in the fourth test over the practise, slinging the ball towards the England batsman before exchanging heated words. "The only thing I regret is throwing the ball," Johnson told reporters at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday. Full Story | Top |

| Gay couple to exchange vows on Rose Parade float Tuesday, Dec 31, 2013 07:27 PM PST By Dana Feldman LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A gay Los Angeles couple plans to exchange wedding vows on a flower-covered float trundling through Pasadena during the nationally televised Tournament of Roses Parade on Wednesday, capping a momentous year for same-sex marriage in the United States. The planned nuptials of Danny Leclair, 45, and Aubrey Loots, 42, who have been together for 12 years and own a chain of hair salons, will mark the first same-sex marriage on a Rose Parade float in the 125-year history of the annual event, organizers say. But it won't be the only wedding ever to have been performed on one of the Rose Parade's flower petal-bedecked floats on national television. Leclair and Loots plan to make it official aboard a float shaped like a wedding cake coated in white coconut chips, accented with red kidney beans and festooned with 12,000 roses and other floral decorations, said Ged Kenslea, a spokesman for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

| Schumacher slightly better but fragile: doctors Tuesday, Dec 31, 2013 05:09 PM PST  By Lucien Libert GRENOBLE, France (Reuters) - French doctors treating Michael Schumacher for brain injuries sustained in a ski fall said the seven-times Formula One world champion was in slightly better condition on Tuesday after an overnight operation, but that he remained fragile. Doctors treating him at a hospital in the eastern city of Grenoble said his condition had stabilized enough by late Monday to carry out a new operation to treat the effects of internal bleeding within Schumacher's skull. "We have won some time but we must continue an hour-by-hour surveillance... It is premature to speculate on his condition," he said, adding that Schumacher was still in a critical state and suffering from severe lesions and contusions. He said the operation was designed to reduce, within Schumacher's skull, the pressure on the brain. Full Story | Top |

| NFL-National Football League roundup Tuesday, Dec 31, 2013 04:03 PM PST Dec 31 (The Sports Xchange) - The NFL could rewind Peyton Manning's passing yardage total from Sunday's game at Oakland, a statistical change that would restore Drew Brees as the single-season leader in passing yards. Of particular concern by the league's statistical review analysis -- a common practice every week for accuracy sake -- is a 7-yard completion to wide receiver Eric Decker. Multiple camera angles imply the pass could have been a lateral, in which case the NFL would properly score it as a running play, giving the rushing yardage to Decker. - - Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott will interview this week with the Washington Redskins for their vacant head coaching position, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday.

| Over 2.1 million have signed up for Obamacare: officials Tuesday, Dec 31, 2013 01:38 PM PST  By Susan Cornwell WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 2.1 million people have enrolled in private health insurance plans through new federal and state websites since they were launched in October as part of President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. Sign-ups for what has become known as Obamacare gained pace during December as the website's performance improved, and as more Americans focused on getting coverage by the new year. Many of the newly insured under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enrolled just ahead of a December 24 deadline to receive benefits on January 1, giving health insurers a tight framework to create accounts that can be accessed by doctors. About half the 2.1 million signed up for private health insurance on the federal website, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters in a conference call. Full Story | Top |
