I was destroyed
An indirect victim of an alleged phone hacking broke cover yesterday to reveal how the scandal "ruined her life" after she was sacked by the celebrity who believed she was leaking personal details to the press.
Mary bulgari watch fake Ellen Field was Elle Macpherson's financial svengali until she was dropped by the model. Unlike many of the celebrities bringing cases against News International who put themselves in the public eye, she is "a normal person", as she puts it, who has been fighting quietly for years to clear her name.
While she is not one of the five "test cases" identified last week, her lawsuit which she has brought independently could be as big as any of them, Ms Field said.
"This isn't about me, although I admit I'm angry," she said. "I don't want to sound vengeful. My life has been ruined by this. But the whole debate needs to be raised. I'm profoundly depressed by how we are treating our democracy in a loose and careless way."
She was born and raised in Australia, and trained initially in art history and later in retail. She and her husband lived in the States, France and latterly London, where they and their two children have been, on and off, for the past 22 years. She is an expert in branding and in 2002 joined Chiltern, a large tax practice, to set up their intellectual property practice. The following year she took on Elle Macpherson to help her with her financial affairs and the branding of her name.
Brought up in the same area of Sydney, though about 15 years apart, they seem to have got on famously. Elle gave her Cartier broaches and sent notes of appreciation.
"She's a fantastic communicator and quick as a whip," Macpherson told a magazine in the autumn of 2005. "She has a fantastic scope of knowledge and is a very good mediator. She's one of my right hand people. I couldn't do this business without her."
Then, a few weeks later, Macpherson started worrying that someone was leaking stories to the paper about her. Ms Field arranged for Macpherson's house to be swept for bugs, but nothing was found, and suggested the model change to pay as you go phones. The mystery of where the stories were coming from went unsolved.
In November 2005, the atmosphere changed "like night and day". Ms Field, by now completely mystified, was accused of being indiscreet and in January 2006 Macpherson said she no longer wished to use her.
Precisely what happened next, and why, will be the subject of legal argument, but around this time Ms Field became ill. In any event, the following month the police told Macpherson they suspected her phone had been hacked. Ms Field says it is quite understandable that suspicion would fall on someone working so closely with the subject of intense press interest, but once the truth later gold bracelet cartier imitation confirmed when two people working for News of the World were sent to prison began to be clear, she was entitled to better treatment, she says. In fact soon afterwards, Ms Field, her reputation now suffering, was made redundant by Chiltern.
Her former client "could have saved my job", she Cartier love bracelet gold replica says now. "I don't know about you, but I couldn't let a bad thing happen to a person and not want to put it right. I hope I've brought my children up like that."
Did Macpherson not contact her subsequently? "I honestly kept thinking that they'd all apologise. I've always thought she was a decent human being. I got a card in April 2006 saying she'd been thinking about me and she would put pen to paper to explain everything. But I've never heard from her again."
Nonetheless, Ms Field retains an evident fondness for her. "I'm not saying she is a bad person at all. If she rang up tomorrow I'd be really happy. She's just as much a victim as I am in all this. But then some people can't apologise, or maybe their lawyers tell them not to."
Which raises all sorts of questions, not the least of which is: doesn't Elle Macpherson feel the sort of anger at her phone being hacked that provoked Max Clifford and Gordon Taylor to claim large sums in compensation? Yet her lawyer, Alexander Carter Silk, says there has been no legal settlement between his client and News of the World.
So what does Ms Field still out of work want from the paper? "I want an apology," she says. "And, if I'm honest, having been on 150,000 a year plus bonuses, I do want some compensation. I can wallow in self pity and I've had Cartier love gold bracelet fake a terrible time and all that. I got sick I've got a pacemaker now and I've been a runner all my life.
"But it really isn't about me. Or Elle. There are big issues here. We badly need a vigorous, free press and there are a lot of mad people in the country who would love to gag the press. This is a gift to them.
"We've got very brave journalists out there in dangerous countries doing incredible things, journalists getting locked up for telling the truth, and here we've got people listening in to people's phones to find out who they're sleeping with. It's disgusting."
She has some words for her fellow Australian Rupert Murdoch, owner of News of the World, which are more robust than you might expect from the deputy chairman of a local Conservative Association.
"Once you get power you lose all sense of reality. although I do agree he did not expect them to do this. He believed Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks when they told him it was one rogue reporter. His father must be turning in his grave."

Motorhome renting guide
was more than a motorhome. it was a car I could go to the bathroom in. Wise words from Homer Simpson, which will be especially apt if you planning on visiting a festival this summer with its overflowing WCs or, frankly, if you travelling anywhere at all with small children.
The convenience (if you pardon the pun) of a motorhome, camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) isn restricted to bathroom habits you also never more than a few feet away from a cup of tea or a cold drink from the fridge. Your clothes will never be soaked in a downpour, you sleep in a bed not on a leaky blow up mattress, and you got a constant source of power for your iPod or mobile phone.
Campervans and motorhomes, unlike caravans, are cool. And, importantly given the vagaries of the typical British summer, they also warm. With a RV you got the freedom of the road and the comforts of home, but buying and owning one can be an expensive business, and they hardly practical daily transport trust me, I van cleef and arpels alhambra earrings copy owned a 1972 Volkswagen Westfalia for two years.
Fortunately, there a growing number of companies renting motorhomes of all shapes and sizes. Whether copy van cleef & arpels earrings you fancy a classic VW or a Meet the Fockers style behemoth, and whether it just for few days or several weeks at home or abroad, there plenty of choice.
Should you decide to take a holiday on four (or even six) wheels this is what you need to know before you go.
What to hire what to pay?
Size matters. The bigger the RV, the bigger the bill. A two berth camper, based on an MPV such as a Toyota Previa or the amusingly named Mazda Bongo can be had for as little as around 30 per day.
Classic VWs and modern Danbury conversions, which can sleep four, cost from about 300 for a festival weekend and a replica van necklace modern six berth motorhome with a shower and loo starts at around 70 per day. For the full Formula One luxury experience, you be looking at 2,000 for a festival weekend.
What are they like to drive?
try to warn customers in advance that these vehicles are between 33 to 38 years old and to be realistic about the vintage driving experience, says Deb Rampton of Nomad Living, which runs a fleet of classic VW camper vans imported from California. That means left hand drive, no power steering and a cruising speed of 50 60mph.
Modern converted MPVs will drive pretty much like you expect and larger vans are based on commercial vehicles, so while they not perhaps as refined as a car they easy to handle once you get used to the size.
Stingray RV rents enormous American RVs which, as they under 7.5 tonnes, can be driven on a regular car licence. Sensibly, the company offers a driving lesson to anyone who renting one.
What to pack?
Don worry if you haven even got a sleeping bag, most of the rental companies will provide the basics (some at extra cost). Also provided will be water and gas, so all you need are just your clothes, your food and a plan.
Where to go?
A motorhome makes the mudbath of a typical music festival far more appealing imagine your own shower and a warm bed at the end of each day. Most festivals have designated areas for live in vehicles and you can expect to find everything from converted fire engines and horse boxes to conventional RVs in the paddock. In most cases you need an additional pass for the vehicle and the numbers are limited, so book early.
Do I have to go to a campsite?
Ah, the freedom of the open road. Almost. In the UK and much of Europe free overnight parking is permitted in more places than you might expect (such as certain Tesco car parks, although quite why you want to is another matter). Make sure that you check the signs or ask permission.
If you do camp then bear in mind that you won have the luxury of mains electricity, showers and other facilities of a modern campsite. It might also be a condition of the rental that you stay in designated campsites, so read the small print.

Princess Diana told Camilla 'I sent someone to kill you' claims Prince Harry biographer
As he turns 30, a brilliant new book by a top royal biographer exposes the inner torment of Prince Harry. On Saturday, in this exclusive Mail serialisation, Penny Junor revealed his wild binges, tensions with the Middletons and his many flirtations. Today, we uncover the toxic upbringing that shaped his life.
Harry and William were just eight and ten when they went on their first holiday without their parents in the summer of 1993, almost two years after Charles and Diana's very public separation.
Squidgygate, a 30 minute tape recording of Diana having a flirtatious conversation with her lover James Gilbey, had been followed just a few months later by Camillagate.
It was an 11 minute tape of their father's late night phone ramblings to his mistress which could be distilled to just one thought: the heir to the throne wished that he could always be with the woman he adored and mused on the possibility of turning into a Tampax to achieve it.
At the boys' boarding school, Ludgrove, every effort had been made to ensure that the most lurid headlines were kept out of sight. But there were more than 180 boys at the school aged between seven and 13 and it was impossible to keep it from every one of them. The stress that Harry and William were under is simply unimaginable.

Mother love: A hug for two year old Harry from Diana during a family holiday in Majorca in 1986 and the prince, aged four, with his downcast mother on Necker, the island privately owned by Sir Richard Branson in the British Virgin Islands
So they were certainly in need of a break when they went to Polzeath in Cornwall with their good friends the van Straubenzee boys, whose parents rented the same clifftop house there every year. On that first visit, Harry cut his leg on some barnacles and started to cry. The poor little boy was in agony.
His leg was bleeding profusely and the salt water was making it sting. In the absence of his mother, father or even a nanny, his Police Protection Officer, Graham Cracker, stepped in.
'Harry, pull yourself together and stop whingeing,' he said brusquely. 'It's just a scratch.' When a concerned Mrs van Straubenzee tried to intervene, he batted her away. 'He's perfectly all right.'
It's a small vignette and hardly the most traumatic of incidents. But it took place against a backdrop of appalling family misery and is indicative of a childhood in which the young Prince was left, not for the first time, bereft of every child's most basic requirement: a mother's reassuring comfort.
Those who know Prince Harry generally agree the fact he is never going to be king is a good thing.
It's always said with hermes gold bracelet fake an affectionate laugh because people love Harry. But he's always had a wild, unpredictable streak to him, even as a little boy.
His detractors say he's not very bright and there was a time, granted, when he behaved like a mindless Hooray Henry with no self control. A time when one wondered whether the terrible combination of fake hermes h bracelet Knockoff his mother's death and the chaos of his childhood had set him on a dangerous and perhaps irreversible downward spiral.
Wildly emotional, Diana expected little Harry to comfort her
Not only did he lose his mother at a desperately difficult age, just two weeks before his 13th birthday he lost her in a spectacular manner that made headlines around the world.
There can surely be few whose hearts were not broken by the sight of Harry as a little boy walking so bravely behind his mother's cortege.
But even before her death he'd endured the misery that comes with a broken home, warring parents and a dad who was often absent.
Like his brother, he had to endure his parents' very bitter divorce, the revelation of their affairs and even their most intimate secrets, from Diana's eating disorder and self harming to Charles's excruciatingly embarrassing phone conversations with Camilla.
It wasn't just that his mother wasn't there to comfort him when he hurt his knee. What was far worse was that she expected him to comfort her as she ricocheted from one terrifying emotional outburst to the next. Some were played out on the front pages of the national newspapers.
Others I am revealing here for the first time.
Contrary to what Diana believed, there was no campaign to discredit her following the separation. In fact, quite the reverse. Charles had given specific instructions to his staff to say and do nothing to reflect badly upon the Princess.
He made it blindingly clear that no matter what Diana did or said, she would always be the mother of his children and anything that hurt the Princess would hurt them.
For all that, Diana saw conspiracies everywhere and sent anonymous, unnerving and sometimes poisonous messages to a range of people, including her Private Secretary Patrick Jephson and 28 year old Tiggy Legge Bourke, who'd been hired by Prince Charles to look after the boys following the separation. Even Camilla had threatening telephone calls from her. They were always made in the dead of the night, when Camilla was alone in her country house in the middle of nowhere.
I've sent someone to kill you,' Diana would say. 'They're outside in the garden. Look out of the window; can you see them?
'I've sent someone to kill you,' Diana would say. 'They're outside in the garden. Look out of the window; can you see them?'
The Prince picked up many of Diana's cast off staff and she Hermes H bracelet copy drove him to distraction in many ways. Charles found conversations with her difficult and upsetting. He seemed to provide a focus for her anger; but he did care very much that she should be looked after.
He worried about her and was always there at the end of a telephone, Collier de Chien hermes bracelet replica right to the end, when things went wrong with a love affair or the children or even the Press.

There can surely be few whose hearts were not broken by the sight of Harry as a little boy walking so bravely behind his mother's cortege.
But even before her death he'd endured the misery that comes with a broken home, warring parents and a dad who was often absent.
Like his brother, he had to endure his parents' very bitter divorce, the revelation of their affairs and even their most intimate secrets, from Diana's eating disorder and self harming to Charles's excruciatingly embarrassing phone conversations with Camilla.
It wasn't just that his mother wasn't there to comfort him when he hurt his knee. What was far worse was that she expected him to comfort her as she ricocheted from one terrifying emotional outburst to the next. Some were played out on the front pages of the national newspapers.
Others I am revealing here for the first time.
Contrary to what Diana believed, there was no campaign to discredit her following the separation. In fact, quite the reverse. Charles had given specific instructions to his staff to say and do nothing to reflect badly upon the Princess.
He made it blindingly clear that no matter what Diana did or said, she would always be the mother of his children and anything that hurt the Princess would hurt them.
For all that, Diana saw conspiracies everywhere and sent anonymous, unnerving and sometimes poisonous messages to a range of people, including her Private Secretary Patrick Jephson and 28 year old Tiggy Legge Bourke, who'd been hired by Prince Charles to look after the boys following the separation. Even Camilla had threatening telephone calls from her. They were always made in the dead of the night, when Camilla was alone in her country house in the middle of nowhere.
I've sent someone to kill you,' Diana would say. 'They're outside in the garden. Look out of the window; can you see them?
'I've sent someone to kill you,' Diana would say. 'They're outside in the garden. Look out of the window; can you see them?'
The Prince picked up many of Diana's cast off staff and she Hermes H bracelet copy drove him to distraction in many ways. Charles found conversations with her difficult and upsetting. He seemed to provide a focus for her anger; but he did care very much that she should be looked after.
He worried about her and was always there at the end of a telephone, Collier de Chien hermes bracelet replica right to the end, when things went wrong with a love affair or the children or even the Press.

PostNL cool on Belgian bpost's raised offer
Bpost raised its offer for its Dutch rival late on Sunday, offering to assume its pension liabilities in a deal that it said would create a company better placed to weather declining mail volumes.Bpost described the offer, valuing PostNL at about 2.5 billion euros ($2.77 billion) as "friendly", though the Dutch company said on Monday that the offer was "unsolicited", adding that the companies were not in talks."We have confidence in our stand alone strategy," said PostNL in a statement, adding that it was considering the proposal "in accordance with its fiduciary duties".Shares in PostNL rose 7.9 percent in early trading on Monday, Collier de Chien hermes bracelet replica while Bpost shares dipped 0.2 percent.The offer, a mix of cash and shares equivalent in value to 5.65 euros per PostNL share, represented a 31.6 percent premium over PostNL's share price at the end of October, bpost said.PostNL beat expectations in the third quarter, with cash operating income at 27 million euros, well ahead of the 18.7 million euros expected by analysts polled for Reuters, despite revenues that were barely changed at 770 million euros, the company said on Monday.Earlier talks between the two companies foundered in late May, with media reports suggesting concerns over PostNL's fake hermes H bracelet Black gold pension liabilities had been a sticking point."The combination of our companies enables us to become one of the leading players in Europe," with 28 million potential customers across the Netherlands and Belgium, bpost Chief Executive Koen van Germen said in Hermes h bracelet gold replica Sunday's statement.Both companies face shrinking mail deliveries hermes bracelet imitation while domestic parcel deliveries are increasing due to online shopping. Some 3,200 new jobs could be created in a combined parcels business over the medium term, bpost said.PostNL shareholders would own some 21 percent of the combined company if the transaction took place, bpost said, while the Belgian state's stake would fall from 51 percent to about 40 percent.

If the Capper fits . Cheap Jake Elliott Jersey ... the world according to WizFormer Brisbane Lions marquee player Warwick Capper has a plan to get his struggling club back on track: Bring back tight shorts and cheerleaders.Iconic sharpshooter Capper says a return of yesteryear traditions could help to resurrect the club from its six-year finals drought.I reckon theyve got to start wearing some tight shorts to get some sex appeal back or maybe get some Bear-rettes to get a bit of sex appeal there and get a bit of a circus going at halftime, Capper told ESPN.But first Id change their jumpers. Theyre not the best colours. At least theyre better than the Bears jumpers that I played in that looked like baby spew.The former Brisbane Bears and Sydney Swans full-forward, who kicked 388 goals from 124 games, is rallying support for besieged coach Justin Leppitsch.Capper attributes the clubs form slump as a result of poor recruiting, not coaching.I feel sorry for Leppa [Leppitsch] though. Its not really his fault, he said.They shouldnt have gotten rid of Vossy [Michael Voss] either. That was a big mistake because he was the favourite son and he didnt do anything wrong.It upset the crowds and the members. Theyre starting to realise that now.What they have to fix is their clubrooms to bring them up to AFL level and start recruiting better.When I was there we were wooden spooners. I was their highest-paid player sitting on heads and knocking the crowds back, but we didnt win too many games.Capper continues to host sportsmen and comedy nights across the country, while working in real estate part-time.The leaping goal kicker also plans to open three restaurants in December. He has a five-year plan to open over 140 establishments across the country.Brisbanes blues: AFL ready to draw a lion in the sandThe AFL seems certain to step in and sort out the Brisbane basket case at seasons end, in much the same way it did with Melbourne in 2013.Any help given to the Lions will come with a list of stringent conditions -- and they will include a major review of the clubs coaching staff and administration.It is unlikely Brisbanes request for a priority draft pick will be met -- because of the angst it will cause the other 17 clubs.This time three years ago, the league said it would only offer Melbourne financial assistance if it were effectively allowed to take control of the club.So it installed former Essendon chief Peter Jackson as CEO and then appointed Glen Bartlett as president. Four directors resigned and the revolution was underway.Bartlett, a former managing partner of Clayton Utz in Melbourne, has been notable for his low profile and reluctance to rock the boat at AFL headquarters -- in contrast to predecessors such as Joe Gutnick.While the likes of Liberal Party heavyweights such as Alan Stockdale and Jeff Kennett were keen to come into the club with their own hand-picked boards in 2013, the AFL quickly quashed that idea -- and set about doing the renovation job themselves.And so it will probably be at Brisbane, where triple premiership coach Leigh Matthews rules the roost like a demigod.He is unlikely to be there next year -- if The Ages Caroline Wilson is to be believed -- and neither is Leppitsch. And that will mean some of their mates now employed at the club, such as player retention boss Craig Lambert, will also come under pressure to keep their jobs.Top cop keeps the Saints runningVictoria police Senior Sergeant Stuart Bailey has forged a 29-year career chasing criminals.And if hes not piecing together clues at a gruesome crime scene, hes tracking down players butchering the footy.Bailey, you see, doubles as St Kildas runner, a role he has enjoyed since joining the Saints last year.The pressure and atmosphere are intoxicating for Bailey, who now works with the gang-busting group, Echo Taskforce, after three years in the homicide squad.You have to understand the game plan really well, you need to be quite concise with your messages and the playing group needs to understand what youre talking about, Bailey told ESPN.The job isnt without its challenges.?Delivering dozens of urgent messages to star players and running up to 16km per game, Bailey says being caught in the thick of the action - and having free kicks paid against him - is unavoidable.It happens. It such a manic pace out there and the balls flicking all over the place. Its easy to get caught out, he said.You know the cameras going to pan straight in on you, so you try not to smile ... I probably average one a year.Like he has done in the police force, Bailey has risen through the ranks as an AFL runner after beginning at the Heidelberg Football Club under Carlton great David Rhys-Jones.That stint didnt last long, as Bailey became a highly sought fitness advisor and runner.He was snapped up by VFL clubs and worked under former league players such as Paul Spargo, David Flood and Barry Mitchell.Baileys big moment came when legendary Richmond captain Matthew Knights was sensationally dropped to reserves side Coburg in 2002, when Bailey was the runner for his good friend and coach Alan Richardson.Knights said he was so impressed with how professional we, Richo and I, were, he said. I think that probably assisted me when Knights got the job at Essendon.Knights head-hunted Bailey and Richardson when he was appointed senior coach at the Bombers.Bailey spent two years at Windy Hill where he was the runner in some of the biggest games of his 16-year career - Anzac Day and two finals series.He says watching Knights coaching tenure unravel was difficult to endure.I think the club actually made some dividends on the back of some really tough decisions that he made in terms of the playing list, Bailey said.Bailey spent a year under James Hird before Brendan McCartney, formerly a senior assistant coach at Essendon, lured Bailey to the kennel when McCartney took charge at the Whitten Oval.He was there for more than two seasons before a homecoming reunion with Richardson at St Kilda opened up.I always wanted to go back with him because it was something I dreamed of doing one day, Bailey, who turns 50 next week, said. I couldnt think of a better place to be. The clubs fantastic and I couldnt be happier.?Richos got the most cohesive and functional coaching group that I have ever seen in football. They get along as any coaching group I have seen in my time. Theyve got the place humming.Could it be bye-bye to the pre-finals bye?The AFL has, for the first time, scheduled a bye for the weekend before the 2016 finals -- a move that is now starting to cause some consternation.It was introduced because some clubs -- notably Fremantle and North Melbourne -- fielded B-Grade teams in the final round of recent home-and-away seasons, when it became clear their final ladder position would not be affected by a win or loss. So they rested their gun players.The bye seems a sensible idea on the surface -- but in practice? The top clubs arent so sure.They fear they might be brought undone by the rules unintended consequences.The two clubs (from the top four) which happen to win their week-one qualifying final, for example, face the prospect of playing just one match in four weeks.Hawthorn, say, might play their Round 23 match on Friday August 26, have the bye week off, play their qualifying final on the weekend of September 9-11 then, if they win, have another weeks rest before tackling their preliminary final on September 23 or 24. So one hit-out in a month.That cant be an ideal preparation heading into the most important fortnight of the season.The top four clubs have other concerns. They wonder whether their advantage in getting the double chance might be eroded by the fact teams finishing from 5th to 8th now get a rest before the finals. So everyone gets a chance to take a breather and regroup after the regular season.As a result, there is growing feeling that, under the new rules this year, the 2016 premiership team could emerge from one of the clubs outside the top four - something that hasnt happened since Adelaide pinched the 1998 flag from fifth.There are other concerns: The sports science, fitness and rehab teams at the top eight clubs are in a bit of quandary as to how to deal with the bye round; do they ease off on the training loads, ramp them up, take the weekend off, or what?Were tipping that the growing commotion surrounding the pre-finals bye will mean that its no monty to be included in the 2017 fixture.Broom set to sweep through AFL VictoriaStand by for a big shake-up at AFL Victoria.ESPN understands several key football-related positions at the organisation are about to be spilled, with those currently filling the positions able to re-apply, but with no guarantees after that.Flush with cash from the new media rights deal, the AFL will plough resources into grassroots football, with the caveat that it helps write the new job descriptions and, if necessary, help fill the positions.As reported, TAC Cup coaches will now become full-time, a move that will be welcomed in AFL coaching circles, given the increased belief among them that drafted players enter the AFL system with only a very basic understanding of the systems, structures of the modern game.The AFL hopes that by making TAC Cup coaching jobs full-time and presumably, paying a bit more than they have in the past, that more recently retired or delisted league footballers might be keen to make a career out of coaching.Before now, the gap between the $300,000 average AFL playing salary and the (perhaps) $50,000 for a TAC Cup coach was too large a cut for retired players to consider.That might change now, particularly with the having coached your own team now seen as a desirable CV item for those aspiring to become AFL senior coaches.Cutting from a cash-strapped clothA natural disaster has sent a clothing manufacturer that produces a third of AFLs club jumpers into a financial whirlwind.A wild hurricane in Fiji damaged the major factory of BLK Sports, also known as Beyond Limits Known,?which meant theyve failed to meet outstanding orders.The sports apparel business has been forced to reimburse lost purchases, apparently leaving it out of pocket thousands of dollars.BLK produces the jerseys for Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast, GWS, Richmond and the Western Bulldogs, as well as deals with prominent feeder leagues like the Victorian Amateur Football Association and South Metro Junior Football League.It also supplies the uniform for AFL umpires.BLK did not return calls from ESPN.THIS WEEKS RANDOM STATS:40: Oscar McDonald this week became Melbournes 40th Rising Star nomination since the award began back in 1993, making the Demons the AFLs most prolific producer of good young talent. Brisbane sits second on the Rising Star list with 39 nominations.44.8: Hawthorns average winning margin (in points) the week after theyve suffered a loss this year.

TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays have both changed somewhat since the teams last met.That was May 16-18 when the Rays swept a three-game series from the Jays at Rogers Centre.This time around, the Rays are trying Brad Miller at first base after he played 86 games this season at shortstop and the Blue Jays are using a six-man starting rotation.Shifting Miller from shortstop to first base will make room for Matt Duffy, who was acquired in a trade with the San Francisco Giants. Duffy will be the shortstop when he comes off the disabled list, possibly Friday.There was nothing wrong with Millers bat. He was 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in the 7-5 loss to the Blue Jays while making his debut at first base.He looked very comfortable over there, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Brad is putting together a tremendous season for us.With the Rays out of playoff contention, he will be given a crash course at the position to see if it is worth pursuing next season.He will presumably be there again Tuesday when the teams meeting in the second game of the two-game series with Rays left-hander Drew Smyly (3-11, 5.14 ERA) facing Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada (7-4, 2.92 ERA)Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are pursuing the playoffs and are featuring a six-man rotation for now.The reasoning is to keep both Aaron Sanchez and Francisco Liriano starting.The thought had been to put Sanchez in the bullpen to limit his innings after the acquisition of Liriano in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates last week. Sanchez has been so successful in his first full season as a major league starter that his innings are beginning to pile upp. Cheap John Ross Jersey. Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker said he is no advocate of a six-man rotation, especially earlier in the season, but he feels that at this time, with this staff, it can serve a purpose. For the time being, it works right now, he said.It will give the starters a breather and adjustments can be made as the season continues.The Blue Jays starters this season so far have done better on four days rest, going 30-9 with a 2.91 earned-run average in 56 starts on regular rest.On five days of rest, they are 10-12 with a 4.64 ERA in 33 starts.Estrada has done better this season on his regular four days rest, going 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA. On five days rest, he is 2/3 with a 4.01 ERA.This is his first outing against Tampa Bay this season but he has been successful against them in the past. He is 1-1 with 0.86 ERA against the Rays in seven career outings, including three starts. He is 3-3 with a 2.68 ERA in 10 starts at Rogers Centre this season.Smyly has had success against the Blue Jays, going 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA in eight career outings against the Blue Jays, including five starts. He is 2-0 with a 0.56 ERA in four appearances, including two starts, at Roger Centre. In three starts against Toronto this season, he is 1-2 with a 4.08 ERA.Being American League East rivals, there are few secrets between the teams.Weve seen each other so many times its just kind of a cat-and-mouse game for now, said Rays starter Jake Odorizzi, who allowed eight hits and four runs Monday and did not factor in the decision.

Opposite numbers Steven Smith and Kane Williamson have endorsed the push at ICC level for league structures for international cricket, after the Chappell-Hadlee series concluded in front of a small crowd at the MCG on Friday night. Cheap Anaheim Ducks Jerseys .The importance of context to international matches was starkly underlined by an attendance of 20,591 for the match, little more than 18 months after Australia and New Zealand attracted more than 90,000 spectators for last years World Cup final at the same venue.Proposals presently before the ICC feature leagues for ODIs and Twenty20 internationals, with bilateral series of uniform length serving as World Cup qualifying matches, therefore adding meaning to every encounter beyond the present patchwork of series negotiated individually between competing teams.The arrangement for Australia and New Zealand to meet every summer was reached following the World Cup, with Australia agreeing to do so in part to help encourage New Zealand to submit to taking part in the inaugural day-night Test match in Adelaide last summer. However, these sorts of deals may soon be on the way out.Theres been a few proposals that have come up and you want as much relevance for every series as possible, Smith said. This series has been a great series, New Zealand are always fantastic to play against, theyre tough competitors and it was no different this series. Im proud of the way our guys played. After a tough tour to South Africa, where we lost 5-0, it was nice to turn things around and win every game in this series.For his part, Williamson said that the treadmill of matches made it difficult to think in terms of wider strategic goals, other than simply to try to improve each time he took his side to the middle - something he was unable to achieve this time around over the course of three defeats.Theres a lot of chat about that at the moment, Williamson said of league structures. To be fair its quite hard to look or think about it too much, theres so much cricket going on that youre very much focused on the next game, trying to be better as a side and thats certainly my focus. It would be great to have as much meaning on every game as you can. From our sides perspective its about getting better and every games an opportunity to do that.As if to underline the point, Smiths men will fly to Brisbane on Saturday to prepare for the first Test against Pakistan, something he hoped would continue the momentum built up against New Zealand. Its been a great series for us and great for our confidence as well. Winnings a lot better than losing and it becomes a bit of a habit as well, Smith said. Hopefully we can keep up this habit for the rest of the summer.New Zealand fly home around the same time and have a brief break before hosting Bangladesh for a series of ODIs and T20s. Williamson was disappointed by the closing defeat at the MCG, failing to make a decent fist of chasing down a far more manageable total than those racked up by Australia in Sydney and Canberra.Very disappointing, Williamson said. At the halfway stage they were a little bit above par, just from a fantastic knock from Davey. But in saying that the way we were able to take wickets at the other end meant we were chasing a total that was certainly gettable if we were to play well. But we were far from playing well, losing wickets early ... wed like to think were much better than that chasing a total. Cheap Adidas Ducks Jerseys .

ARNHEM, Netherlands -- Gymnast Yuri van Gelder lost his legal battle Friday to rejoin the Dutch Olympic team in Rio in time to compete in the rings final on Monday.Judge Ronald Boonekamp shattered Van Gelders Olympic dream when he rejected his request for an injunction ordering the Netherlands Olympic Committee to reinstate the gymnast.The 33-year-old was sent home late Monday after missing a training session because he overslept following an all-night foray into Rio that involved drinking four or five beers at a Dutch brewers pop-up bar in the host city.Van Gelders lawyer said in a text message to The Associated Press that it was too late to appeal the decision in time for the final.The rejection followed a high-stakes hearing in a packed courtroom in the eastern city of Arnhem that marked the latest twist in Van Gelders turbulent sports career which, alongside his 2005 world title, has also featured a ban for cocaine use and being dropped from a Dutch World Championships team for alleged drug use.Van Gelder was mobbed by media and fans as he arrived at the court and scores of people crowded into an extra room set up for the public to watch the legal battle that has dominated Dutch headlines this week, almost eclipsing performances of the countrys athletes in Rio.I had just reached an Olympic final. I celebrated with a beer, Van Gelder told reporters after the hearing, during which he told the judge he drank four or five beers. If somebody had explicitly told me that was banned, I would not have done it.Van Gelder and the Dutch Olympic committee were not immediately available for comment after the ruling.Van Gelders lawyer, Cor Hellingman, had asked the judge to order the Netherlands Olympic Committee to do all it could to ensure Van Gelder could partticipate in Mondays final, including buying him a business class ticket to Rio and, if necessary, arguing his case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Cheap Buffalo Sabres Jerseys. Van Gelder could have stayed in Rio to await the outcome of an appeal, Hellingman said. Instead he was more or less kidnapped and put on a plane.Harro Knijff, the Dutch Olympic Committees lawyer, rejected that characterization and denied there was a rush to justice.There was almost a full day of meetings and discussions before reaching what is, of course, this painful decision to eject Van Gelder from the team, he said during the hastily arranged hearing.Van Gelder admitted drinking at Holland Heineken House in Rio, a popular temporary venue that is a magnet for Dutch athletes and fans. But he denied drinking after that, saying he then went to his girlfriends apartment in Rio, before picking up a fellow Dutch gymnast from a nightclub and returning to the athletes village, arriving at 5:08 a.m.He said he slept through morning training, but denied that was unusual.The rings is an explosion of power. A day before the match I dont train and the day afterward, I dont train, he said. So I didnt divert from my normal routine.The Dutch Olympic committees lawyer said that the late night foray into Rio and failure to stick to agreements had led to a breakdown in trust between Van Gelder and his coach, Bram van Bokhoven, leading the Dutch gymnastic federation to recommend Van Gelder be sent home.The top of the gymnastics team -- including his own coach -- pressed for him to be kicked off the team for his behavior and his negative influence on other team members, Kijff said.

Pokey Chatman has seen how good the Indiana Fever can be from the opposing sideline. Cheap Seattle Seahawks Jerseys . Now shell get a chance to lead them.The Fever hired Chatman as their new coach Friday, bringing in a WNBA veteran in hopes of continuing their annual visits to the postseason.I can remember when I first went to Chicago, quite frankly, I was trying to build a team to beat Indiana. What they had built was incredible and to see it from the inside out now is great, Chatman said. They have people who have been here for 14 years in this organization. It speaks volumes to whats going on here.Chatman will take over a team that has a rich history in the WNBA, winning a title in 2012 and reaching the playoffs for the past 12 years. Indiana was 17-17 this past year, losing in the first round. Coach Stephanie White left the Fever after the season to take over at Vanderbilt.My goal was to identify and hire someone who has extensive head coaching experience in the pro womens game and we are fortunate to bring Pokey to Indiana, said Kelly Krauskopf, the teams president and general manager. Her years of coaching elite level players, both in the WNBA and in Europe, bring us great experience and leadership. Her up-tempo philosophy on offense combined with her affinity for toughness on the defensive end fits our organization. I have watched her teams and admired how her players continuously improve from year to year.The 47-year-old Chatman was not retained by the Chicago Sky after this past season when she guided the team to an 18-16 record and an appearance in the WNBA playoff semifinals. She won 106 games in Chicago and led the team to its first-ever playoff appearance in 2013 and a trip to the WNBA Finals in 2014. Chicago made the playoffs in each of her last four seasons.I understand professional sports, Chatman said. I have a lot of pride in what we were able to accomplish in Chicago in six years. I think the competitor in me is sad I didnt win a championship.Now she has a new job nearly three weeks later.Im elated and excited about it, Chatman said of the chance to lead Indiana. I didnt really think about the time frame and how quickly it was until I read it somewhere. Im excited about it.The Fever will have a different look not only on the sidelines, but also on the court as longtime star Tamika Catchings retired. Indiana still has a strong nucleus with Briann Janaury, Erlana Larkins, Tiffany Mitchell and Marissa Coleman.I dont have to reinvent the wheel here on either side of the basketball, Chatman said. There are areas we want to enhance, but if it aint broke were not going to try and fix it.Before taking over Chicago in 2011, Chatman spent 16 years at LSU, her alma mater. The Louisiana native was an assistant from 1992-2004 before becoming the head coach. She was 106-19 as the head of that program, including a 15-5 mark when she was the interim leader in 2004 when longtime coach Sue Gunter left the team because of a lung disease.Chatman will just be the coach in Indiana. She also was the general manager in Chicago. Having one job now is something that Chatman was happy about.I am looking forward to just being the coach, she said. I also am looking forward to learning from Kelly. I did have that role before. Its nice to have eyes and ears and a conversation with someone who had so much success from a learning standpoint. I welcome the opportunity to learn and just focus on the basketball half.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg Cheap Seahawks Jerseys Authentic . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Cheap Seahawks Jerseys .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check.http://www.cheapseahawksjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-richard-sherman-jersey . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. The nearly catch Before any of the real batting damage had been done, Dale Steyn could have inflicted some with the ball. Aaron Finch had yet to score a run with he tucked into a full delivery and drove back to Steyn, but did not keep the ball down. Steyns eyes lit up, his vein pumped and he stuck out an arm but even the quickest of reactions was not good enough to hold on. The ball grazed Steyns fingertips and went for four and the floodgates opened.The actual catch Andile Phehlukwayo would not have been happy with himself when he bowled a second bouncer in his fifth over, which was called wide, and he had to bowl an extra ball. But it turned out to a blessing in disguise. The extra delivery was sent down with a bit of extra bounce and Mitchell Marsh was drawn into a loose stroke. He got a thick edge and Quinton de Kock had to dive one-handed to his right to take the catch at full stretch. He had pulled off a stunner to give Phehlukwayo a third.Miller-time Without AB de Villiers, South Africa missed two run-out chances when Imran Tahir was not backing up enough to receive a throw that could have found Travis Head short of his ground, and then when George Bailey called Head through for a streaky single off Farhaan Behardien but they eventually got one right. Bailey nudged Phehlukwayo to David Miller at midwicket and went for the run that was never on. Miller swooped in and had enough time to underarm the throw onto the stumps before Matthew Wade had even come into the frame.The ugly Quinton de Kocks stunning timing was as easy on the eye as cricket gets, but not all of South Africas innings was as pretty. Rilee Rossouw slugged the ugliesst shot of the innings against an even uglier delivery.Cheap Seahawks Jerseys China. Mitchell Marsh started off with a half-tracker that asked to be hit. Rossouw responded by meeting it a third of the way down the crease and flinging his bat at it to send it through long-off.Bat-breaking It was back-breaking stuff for the Australian attack and it only got worse when de Kock swiped at a Marsh delivery to send him over square leg for six. The shot was so brutal, it broke the bottom of de Kocks bat. Before the over was up, Rossouw blasted a drive down the ground. He didnt get any runs for it but he also did damage to his bat and needed another.The introduction Steve Smith waited until the 18th over to introduce Adam Zampa into the attack and he must have wondered why he waited so long. Zampas first ball was a regulation legbreak, tossed up at Rossouw, who played a shot he could have waited to bring out, Rossouw attempted the reverse-sweep without even giving himself a sighter and missed. The ball was spinning back in and would have gone on to hit off stump and Rossouws party, which was hotting up at 63 off 45 balls, was over. The six By the end of a breathless night, de Kock was hitting sixes for fun. Howeve, the most significant of them came off the 76th ball he faced, He scooped Daniel Worrall over fine leg and into the stands to bring up his 11th ODI hundred. A packed SuperSport Park crowd appreciated the shot a little more than de Kock, who celebrated in fairly quiet fashion for a man who was doing his talking with the bat.
