Saints 2-3 QPR
The QPR keeper's ball out was then intercepted and Saints found themselves with three players in behind and just Camp to beat. Jason Euell had the ball on the right and quickly squared to Stern John who just had to side foot home from the penalty spot but skied his effort so far over the bar. Camp was in action again three minutes later when he palmed away Andrew Davies' header from a corner. And predictably Saints were made to pay for their wastefulness when QPR equalised on 38 minutes. Rowan Vine charged past several despairing tackles and fed in Rowlands who finished low past the advancing Davis inside the area for 1-1. And it got worse just before half time when QPR took the lead. Damien Delaney put in a deep cross from the right, Patrick Agyemang had peeled off to the far post and in behind left back Jermaine Wright and side footed low past Davis from the edge of six yard box for 2-1.
Inflation is price as Gulf nations fight to maintain dollar pegs
The arguments in favor of breaking the policy tie will gain weight as U.S. rates fall but growth and inflation remain high in the Gulf," said Simon Williams, senior regional economist of HSBC. Policy makers may put on a show of unity as they are committed to preparing for a common currency in the Gulf. "A revaluation can be delayed for a long time, but it will come at a cost," said Marios Maratheftis, regional head of research at Standard Chartered Bank. "That cost is inflation." Inflation has become a political problem in the Gulf, where it has overtaken official lending rates in five of the six states preparing for monetary union. Arguments that the status quo brings stability have begun to ring hollow as governments are forced to raise wages and impose controls on rents and food prices to contain public discontent.
PSN Roundup Review by Dan Whitehead
Like an enormous bag of anvils sliding down a hill, the PlayStation Store is starting to gather momentum - well, at least as far as retro downloads are concerned. After a sporadic few months of drip-drip PSone offerings, things seem to be settling into something resembling a regular service, with another trio of worthy games showing their adorable faces this week, all at GBP 3.49. Motorhead Overlooked by many when it was released in 1998, this semi-futuristic racer from Digital Illusions (them what did Pinball Dreams and Battlefield) is actually something of an unsung classic. Inevitably overshadowed by the more hyped blockbuster racers of the time, you'd be wise to splash a few quid in its direction while you wait for Rage Racer or Gran Turismo to show up on the Store. Ten cars and eight tracks await you, all carrying a rather downbeat dystopian flavour.
