12 c a r i b b e a n t i m e s . a g Thursday 15th December 2016 Today’s weather forecast Antigua and Barbuda A shower or two around the area in the morning, then partly cloudy in the afternoon. High - 82ºF Low - 75ºF Wind: East South East 12 mph Sunrise 6.28 am; Sunset 5.36 pm Wednesday’s Crossword Solution HOROSCOPE SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can be proud of the relationships you’ve built and even more proud of the fact that you keep building. Friendships, after all, need continual maintenance to thrive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re emotionally flexible and quite strong. Still, you shouldn’t have to bend over backward to get your love. If you find yourself doing this trick time and again, seek different sources of support. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Information has a way of expanding to the capacity of your curiosity. So the thing to ask yourself is: “How much do I really want and/or need to know?” Today will bring a case where more is not necessarily better. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). From keys and phones to friendships and jobs, most of the things a person can lose in life can be replaced. Not time. It’s the most precious of your resources, which is why you’re so mindful now not to waste it. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Yes, life is full of contradiction. It’s also full of tautology. Redundancy is validation. It’s comforting when things are as they seem to be, people work together as a team and love behaves lovingly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This process you’re going through now is a kind of evolution. The elegance of evolution is especially obvious when the circumstances change. You might be surprised by what survives and prevails. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The mystery that baffles you in the a.m. will be so utterly explainable tonight that it all seems rather obvious. You’ll either help the others understand, or you’ll help them be baffled so they can enjoy the discovery process, too. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As for the thing that’s been gnawing at your curiosity: It’s time to investigate it. You’ll get lucky. There are a lot of questions that will be answered when one or two facts have come to light. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone is selfish from time to time, but if it happens frequently, it’s more about your own tolerance than anything else. Stand up for yourself. Get on your own team. You don’t do anyone favors by letting them behave badly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s said that to forgive is divine, but there’s no heavenly choir of angels to accompany you when you let go of your grievances today. Still, life will get better for the gesture, and that counts for something. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Does it really matter if you were born this way or got there through living? Embrace it; no further questions are necessary. To fully accept yourself will be your best move yet. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may not understand all of the factors that got you here, but accept them. Humility is better than arrogance; contribute as though you deserve to be where you are. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be there.

JOHN’S, Antigua – The West Indies Cricket Board confirmed today that Alzarri Joseph and Nikita Miller were fined, and Roshon Primus was reprimanded for breaches of the Code of Conduct during the fourth round of matches in the Digicel Regional 4-Day Tournament which ended on Monday. All three players admitted to the offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by the respective match referees, meaning there was no need for formal hearings. Joseph was reported by on-field umpires Danesh Ramdhanie and Leslie Reifer Jr, along with standby umpire Ericson Degallerie for a Level 2 breach of the Code of Conduct during the match between Leeward Islands Hurricanes and Windward Islands Volcanoes at Windsor Park in Dominica. Joseph upon fielding the ball from his own bowling after the final delivery of the 18th over in the Volcanoes’ second innings, threw the ball at or near batsman Johnson Charles in an appropriate and dangerous manner while the batman remained in the crease. Match referee Carlyle Felix imposed a fine of 50 per cent of the Hurricanes and West Indies fast bowler’s match fee for the breach of paragraph 2.6 of the Code of Conduct. Miller and Primus were both reported by match umpires Verdayne Smith and Gregory Brathwaite, as well as reserve umpire Rushane Samuels for Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct during the match between Jamaica Scorpions and Trinidad & Tobago Red Force at Sabina Park in Jamaica. Match referee Denovan Hayles imposed a fine of 20 per cent of Miller’s match fee, after he breached paragraph 1.3 of the Code of Conduct by using language that was offensive or insulting to the match officials and contrary to the Spirit of the Game, when he was notified about the wearing of incorrect playing equipment. Primus was subject to an official reprimand from Hayles, after he showed dissent at the umpire’s decision by delaying his departure from the wicket, when he was adjudged lbw off the final delivery in the 56th over of the Red Force second innings. The Red Force all-rounder admitted to the offence which was a breach of paragraph 1.2 of the Code of Conduct and accepted the imposition of the proposed sanction. No further action was taken and no hearing was required.
