Cricket in Pakistan
The history of Cricket in Pakistan predates the creation of the country in 1947. The first ever international cricket match in what is Pakistan today was held in Karachi on November 22, 1935 between Sindhi and Australian cricket teams. The match was seen by 5,000 Karachiites. [1] It was introduced by the British during their colonial rule of British India, which covered the area now known as Pakistan. Cricket is the most popular sport in the country.[2] Pakistan has produced many talented cricketers who have been among the best batsmen and bowlers in international cricket.
The Pakistan Cricket Board controls both all domestic cricket tournaments. Pakistan is an official member of the International Cricket Council and the Asian Cricket Council.
In One Day International and Test cricket matches, Pakistan has one of the best winning records among teams from Asia. Pakistan has won the Cricket World Cup in 1992 and the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009.

The Pakistan Cricket Board governs all official domestic tournaments. Pakistan is also an official member of the International Cricket Council and the Asian Cricket Council.
Almost all cities and villages in Pakistan have their own cricket teams and unofficial tournaments. Pakistani children start playing the game at a young age. The game is one of the most popular form of sports in the country.

International Test matches and One Day International matches are played between the Pakistan national team and foreign opponents regularly.
The team has won many international cricket tournaments, including the World Cup and the 2009 ICC World Twenty20. They finished runners up in the 1999 World Cup and the 2007 World Twenty20.
They also take part in officially sanctioned Asian Cricket Council competitions including the Asia Cup, Asian Test Championship, ACC Trophy and the Asian Cricket Junior Tournament.

Tania Dall / Eyewitness News
NEW ORLEANS -- Shrimpers and businesses connected to the industry may be getting an extra helping hand from BP's Deepwater Horizon claims fund.
One local attorney says BP Administrator Ken Feinberg is taking another look at the damage claims.
'The foreign shrimp or farm raised shrimp really wouldn't fit our menu here,' said Pascal's Manale Co-owner Sandy DeFelice.
The Uptown restaurant's signaturebarbecue shrimp recipe keeps customers coming back for more.
However these days, the white gulf shrimp that has been a staple at this popular culinary spot is hard to come by.
'Right now, the seafood supply is harder to get and the price has increased,' said DeFelice.
Almost a year and a half later, the seafood industry is still reeling from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that spewed 206 million gallons into the Gulf of Mexico.
'It makes it difficult to do all the business on a regular basis to pay all your bills and survive. It's much more difficult now then prior to the oil spill,' said DeFelice.
In LaPlace at Bailey's Shrimp stand at W. Airline Highway at Highway 51 business is slow. Owner Ferrel Bailey accepted a $25,000 settlement from BP after the oil spill. However, he says a shrimp shortage continues to hurt his bottom line.
'There have been times where we've had to shutdown 2 or 3 times a week because the product is just not there,' said Bailey.
Before the oil spill, 200 to 250 pounds of shrimp were sold per day at Bailey's Shrimp. On Tuesday, only 91 pounds of shrimp were sold.
'The shrimper, the restaurant owner, the wholesale seafood houses are all laying off people or shutting down,' said attorney Daniel Becnel, Jr.
Becnel represents multiple clients still seeking claims from BP including Pascal's Manale. He says normally white gulf shrimp would be thriving, and blames a chemical used to disperse oil for this year's dip in numbers.
'We think the corexit in the BP oil spill has killed most of the baby white shrimp and that's why the fishermen are having such a hard, horrible time making a living,' said Becnel, who also added that Deepwater Horizon Claims Fund Administrator Ken Feinberg is re-evaluating certain shrimp claims.
'Now he's re-evaluating what they're going to get because of the white shrimp. The brown shrimp are okay but the white shrimp aren't okay,' said Becnel.
As the appetite for seafood remains steady, some say it could take years for the industry to return to its glory days.
'It's not back to normal. There are fewer fishermen out there fishing shrimp and oysters because they had to move on and do something else,' said DeFelice.
Feinberg responded Wednesday to Becnel's latest claims about white gulf shrimp and economic damage to related seafood industries:
'I merely informed him that, in light of his concerns, I will review his arguments,' said Feinberg via a spokeswoman.

Scouser McManaman, target of jibes that he is part of Anfield's soft centre, wanted to prove that he is tough enough and professional enough to thrive in the most brutal league in the world.
The chance may have gone this time, but it's clear Liverpool are finally ready to part with the genius Roy Evans once descrivbed as ``priceless.''
McManaman, like all his Anfield pals, detests the `Spice Boy' jibes and suggestions that he was never fully committed to the Liverpool cause.
"There has been so much rubbish talked about the so-called Spice Boys," he says. "It's all nonsense.
"If you believe all you hear, there's a group of Liverpool players more interested in the high life and the catwalk than the football pitch. Naturally I was included in this group.
"If I close my eyes and listen, I can hear people saying `Footballers these days are more like pop stars'. But that's ridiculous. We're professional sportsmen. We have to train, be fit and look after ourselves. Otherwise we couldn't play at the top level.
"Footballers have become far more high-profile during the past 10 years. We're recognised far more and we end up on the news pages as well as the sports pages because of our celebrity.
"Because of this scrutiny, we're under more pressure than ever. "But the fact is that players don't have much time for things apart from football.
"Jamie Redknapp and David James did a bit of modelling two years ago, but that had no bearing on the way they played.
"The Liverpool lads haven't been out together as a group since last Christmas. The old Liverpool teams used to have regular club days out. We don't do that."
The fact that McManaman's agent also happens to be Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller hasn't helped him play down the comparisons.
A move to the take-no-prisoners world of Spanish football would have been the making of McManaman and help him shake off persistent claims that he cannot cope with the close attentions of a man marker.

Homophobia to Heterosexism: Constructs in Need of Re-Visitation
Academic journal article
By Smith, Ian Patrick; Oades, Lindsay; McCarthy, Grace
Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology Review , Vol. 8, No. 1 , April 2012
Oades, Lindsay
McCarthy, Grace
Article excerpt
Although the concept of homophobia has been used extensively in the literature since the early 1960s, researchers have shown growing concern for its relevance in present day research. Additionally, there has been variance in its definition leading to an array of ambiguities resulting in methodological limitations in empirical studies with a disregard for ensuring that definitions used match the focus of study. There have been numerous attempts to locate the construct within a theoretical framework and this has also resulted in weak empirical design. These weaknesses in research on homophobia have resulted in the coining of the construct heterosexism as a more contemporary and more appropriate definition than that of homophobia to indicate anti-gay discrimination. This review considers both terms with regard to their appropriateness and distinction and the utility of the construct heterosexism as it is applied to contemporary research on non-heterosexual communities. It is concluded that homophobia can no longer be framed as a straightforward function of individual psyches or irrational fear and loathing and that heterosexism is more appropriate in defining prejudiced behaviours and their consequences for non-heterosexual communities.
Key words: homophobia; heterosexism; terminology; methodology
Sexual orientation discrimination includes acts which range from subtle or slight slurs (speech-acts) to physical attacks (queer bashing) and even murder (Sil verschanz, Cortina, Konik & Magley, 2008) Yet despite the significance of all of these forms of discrimination, empirical research has struggled to straightforwardly investigate this phenomenon, particular due to the face that some researchers have attempted to combine definitions with theoretical underpinnings (for example, Bernstein, Kostelac & Gaarder, 2003; Lyons, Brenner & Fassinger, 2005; Smith & Ingram 2004; Waldo, 1999), whilst other researchers have not employed a theoretical framework in which to locate their research (for example, Drydakis, 2009; Silverschanz, Cortine, Konik & Magley, 2008). Furthermore, there are methodological issues arising from research on sexual orientation discrimination, with a large number of sampling, data and analysis problems (for example, Croteau & Lark, 1995; Croteau & von Destinon, 1994; Fyfe, 1983; Hall, 1986; Hudson & Richetts, 1980; Levine & Leonard, 1984; MacDonald, 1976; Weinberg, 1973). These problems are complex and range from a lack of clarity around conceptualisation of theoretical constructs to encapsulate the distinctive features of the discrimination that non-heterosexual individuals are subjected to, and the chosen theoretical paradigm to conceptualise these attitudes and behaviours, held both individually and by the community at large.
Further compounding these issues facing researchers attempting to measure sexual orientation discrimination, is the fact that a large pool of insufficient scientific language exists to describe negative attitudes and behaviours towards sexual minorities (for example, Brenner, Lyons, Fassinger, 2010; Fassinger, 2000; Powers, 1996). Having the correct language to describe, understand and research sexual orientation discrimination is one step in helping researchers to create an opportunity for society to not only accept, but recognize the varied sexual orientations and attractions found in non-heterosexual individuals, despite their minority membership. Two key terms utilised within the literature on sexual orientation discrimination are homophobia and heterosexism, terms that have been reviewed and critiqued in relation to the numerous definitions put forward by researchers in the context of sexual orientation discrimination (for example; Brittin, 1990; Herek, 1990, 1992, 2000, 2004; Kritzinger, 2001; Sears, 1997; Weinberg, 1960, 1972). This review considers both terms with regard to their appropriateness and distinction, and the utility of the construct heterosexism as applied to research on nonheterosexual communities. …

Purchased 2 clubs and couldnt be happier! The price was lower than anywhere else I looked and when i had questions about the clubs i was immediately able to talk to someone who was knowledgeable and friendly. Amazing product and people! Thank you!
I couldn't be happier. This club was in excellent condition and on my initial round, this club proved long and straight. I will be using this service more often.
Received this club in 6 days. Excellent condition. I am able to hit a more true and dependable shot with the 6 hybrid than my 6 iron.
Great club, better than I expected. Takes a couple of longer irons out of my bag.
Very nice club, Feel is great and distance has increased. Plus the blue color is extra ordinary.

Title: Puttting CO2 to Work - Turning an Environmental Liability into a Commodity that Makes Money
Geothermal energy offers clean, consistent, reliable electric power with no need for grid-scale energy storage, unlike most renewable power alternatives. Here, I discuss a new method with the potential to permit expansion of geothermal energy utilization while supporting rapid implementation through the use of existing technologies: Combining geologic CO2 sequestration with geothermal energy capture. Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in deep saline aquifers and exhausted oil and natural gas fields has been widely considered as a means for reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere as a counter-measure to global warming. However, rather than treating CO2 merely as a waste fluid in need of permanent disposal, I propose that it could simultaneously be used as a working fluid in geothermal energy capture, as its thermodynamic and fluid mechanical properties suggest it transfers geothermal heat more efficiently than water. Therefore, using CO2 as the subsurface working fluid in geothermal power systems appears to permit utilization of lower temperature geologic formations than those that are currently deemed economically viable. Hence, CO2-based geothermal systems may lead to more widespread utilization of geothermal energy. In addition, the proposed system reduces CO2 emissions from electricity production through both geologic CO2 sequestration and displacement of hydrocarbon fuels via use of renewable geothermal energy. This results in a CO2-sequestering geothermal power plant with a negative carbon footprint and has significant economic implications with respect to revenue from electricity and potentially carbon off-set sales. Furthermore, geothermal power plants are quite scalable and can provide both on-demand peak as well as base-load power.

VIRGINIA BEACH -- Court documents filed in Pennsylvania said Nelson Hercules Jr., 30, was shirtless in a motel room with a 12-year-old girl he allegedly abducted when police found him May 23.
The Lancaster Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era reported officers used GPS tracking on Hercules' cell phone to locate the pair.
Hercules, who lives in Virginia Beach, is accused of driving to Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to meet and have sex with the 12-year-old girl he met online.
'He mentioned he met some girl on some computer gaming Web site or something, and they eventually were going to go meet up one day and go camping or something,' explained Josh DeGraff, referring to a conversation he had with neighbor Nelson Hercules, Jr. 'That's as far as it went. He didn't give me any ages or anything like that, obviously.'
According to court records,a woman in Manheim Township, Pennsylvania called police Friday afternoon when her daughter didn't come home from school. She told police someone had seen her daughter get into a car with an unknown man.
A friend of the the 12-year-old said the girl had used her phone to text a man. Police traced the phone being used by that man. They said he was Hercules. The cell phone company helped them track the phone to the motel where officers found Hercules' car in the parking lot. They took him into custody and rescued the girl.
The court records said the 12-year-old was on the bed, under a blanket. Although she was wearing a dress, her pants were removed.
Hercules supposedly told detectives he knew the girl's age before he went to Pennsylvania, and that he drove there 'to have sexual intercourse.' The court paperwork said Hercules told them when he and the girl got to the motel room they '...began to kiss and he removed her leggings and rubbed her buttocks area.'
DeGraff, who hadn't seen his neighbor on Caxton Court in weeks, told 13News Now, 'After talking to him, I just wouldn't expect him to do that.'
'You know, you never know, and the fact we actually interacted with them, and got a good feeling, I feel, from this family, and, like I said, they've gone out of their way to do things for us. They've been very sweet, and just to find that out, it's crazy,' said neighbor Kelly O'Toole.
Hercules faces charges including Attempted Rape of a Child, Indecent Assault, and Kidnapping of a Minor.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
One of Hercules' family members told 13News Now he has not contacted the family since his arrest.

Bilge pumps, water in the boat and you.

On my boat, I don't have a problem with water getting into the bilge, except by user error. The bilges on my boat are relatively shallow...two-inches or so deep, and I don't have most of the holes through the bottom that monohulls have—no prop shaft packing gland, no engine cooling through-hull, no in-hull exhaust, etc.
On several boats I've done the work on, I've installed two bilge pumps along the centerline of the boat, as well as one on each side to help when the boat is sailing. One of the two along centerline is a small "maintenance" pump which has the float switch down as low as possible, and is a really small pump—mainly to deal with the leaks from the stuffing box and such. The other three electric pumps are high volume bilge pumps, for dealing with large volumes of water, whether from the cockpit being pooped, or a leaking through-hull. The float switches for the port and starboard pumps are slightly outboard of the pump strainer, to help make sure the pumps won't be switched on unless necessary.
If the bilge has separate sections, due to bulkheads, floors or stringers, I'll generally either drill limber holes or, in the case of watertight bulkheads, install another pump.
I try to keep the hoses as short as possible and the rise as little as possible to help the pumps maximize their output. I prefer the mini-diagphragm pumps, rather than impeller-based pumps, since they can pass small objects more easily.
I also usually install a high-capacity manual bilge pump accessible from the cockpit. On a larger boat, I might also have a high-capacity manual pump in the cabin someplace. The reason for the manual bilge pumps is in case of electrical failure or to assist in the case of a lot of water coming in.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

The May Fair
Stratton Street, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Mayfair
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In London, the hotel world's majorest of major leagues, even the big chains know which way the wind is blowing — away from that fusty manor-house look, and toward something altogether more clean-lined and contemporary. Nobody's about to mistake the old May Fair for the Sanderson, but after a top-to-bottom £70m renovation, it's looking shockingly up-to-date.
It's plain they've learned some lessons from the new breed of design hotels: the May Fair Bar is stylish and modern, packing in a hip West End crowd. Quince, a modern European restaurant with Moroccan influences, forgoes the usual formality of five-star dining for a more casual shared-plate approach, while the Cigar Room, encased in stainless steel mesh that allows the space to breathe, offers a nicely curated selection of rare and fine hand-rolled cigars. Upstairs, the bedrooms are still oversized and as luxurious as they come, and now they're utterly modern too, slightly minimalist in muted earth tones. And of course they're packed with all the modern must-haves, from forty-inch Samsung Smart TVs to high-end bath products.
A 201-seat private screening room is a rarity, to be sure, but the May Fair's spa is its crown jewel. It's vaguely Asian in design (as are all spas these days) and completely over-the-top — the best place for a mud bath after a long day of splashing cash all over the West End. Or all over the hotel — the May Fair's own Palm Beach Casino is among the biggest in town, and its atmosphere of old-world glamour is an inducement to high-stakes playing.

What I liked:
everything, and really I am not an easy customer to please.
from the minute i check in, when told what type of room i was getting (a 'loft' room), i was a bit unsure if i would like it....she offered to let me see it....no sooner did she offer then she clicked off her computer and escorted me to the room! and she was right....it was a great room! I thought I didn't want o be in the courtyard, but this changed my mind.....That was a GREAT introduction!
Also, great coffee when you specifically ask for it strong
What the hotel could do better:
at night, trying to wrap a package, I had a little difficulty with the concierge understanding and being able to tell me what time the shop accross the street opened. but that really isn't worth mentioning

The 27-year-old Filipino Senior Product Manager beat Singaporean lawyer Andrea Loh in the popular reality show.
As Tony Fernandes' newest apprentice, Yabut gets a one year contract with the AirAsia group, with a salary of at least $100,000.
The best in Asia
The first-ever winner of "The Apprentice Asia" feels proud to have represented the Philippines in the field of business and marketing.
"This is for the Philippines. It's a win not about me. And finally pagdating sa kompetisyon na pagalingan sa utak, pagalingan sa business and marketing, the Filipino has finally spoken that we are the best in Asia," Jonathan told the press during the live viewing of AXN's "The Apprentice Asia" at the Hyve in Bonifacio Global City on Wednesday, July 31.
Jonathan survived 10 boardroom trials and eventually got 'hired' by aviation tycoon Tony Fernandes after beating 11 other contestants across Asia. Jonathan competed with Singaporean lawyer Andrea Loh during the final task, where they organized a charity auction for AirAsia Foundation.
"Definitely nahirapan. The best in Asia are out there. The fact that the Philippines has stood out, I'm just so proud and happy to prove it. I'm very happy for her (Andrea). I know there are more opportunities for her, as well," Jonathan said.
While he admits the competition was challenging, Jonathan states that he had always hoped to bag the title. That's why he wore a brought a Barong Tagalog during the final task. He also wears a Philippine flag pin, which he said was like his lucky charm.
"I've always aspired for it kaya dala ko ang Barong Tagalog ko kasi I told myself na if I'm gonna be at the final two, I'll wear it and I did. Every time I get scared, I touch it (pin). It reminds me of the people back home, reminds me that this is not for you but for the people rooting for you back home."
What was his winning strategy?
"Just be yourself," Jonathan replied.
Jonathan was also praised for being consistent and intense, yet calm and in control during the competition.
"It's so cliché, but if you feel that you are the best, it will always shine. Always bring out the best in people. You're not there to put people down, you're there to bring out the best in them. As long as you show that to Mr. Tony, because he's that kind of guy, he will like you. And he will bring you to the final two."
Jonathan is also grateful to fellow Pinoy contestant Celina Le Neindre, whom he chose as part of his team in the final task.
"There's always teamwork, synergy and secret connivance. I think it's very Pinoy, we always root for each other."
Big responsibility
Jonathan will be working as AirAsia's chief of staff starting August 15 and will report directly to Fernandes. While Jonathan is excited for the "opportunities and mentorship" he will get from the aviation tycoon, he also feels nervous about the big responsibility he will have as an 'apprentice', now that they're outside the boardroom.
"I'm very excited and a bit scared. Pero that's how life is. It's always about change and I'm ready to take on the challenge. It's more of business development. I'm very nervous. You have to prove to Mr. Tony why you are the apprentice outside the boardroom. In the end, when you're nervous that's a good thing because that means you're being fueled to do your best."
Must watch: Why Tony Fernandes chose Jonathan

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought a status report from Delhi government on the death of 15 inmates in Tihar Jail in Delhi between January and April this year.
A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice RS Endlaw took up suo motu the issue on the basis of a letter from Justice S Muralidhar who felt that an explanation may be called for from the authorities.
In his letter, Justice Muralidhar has referred to news reports about the death of 15 inmates in Tihar Jail from January to April this year and said he was wondering whether the Chief Justice could take up the issue suo motu on the basis of the news items and call for an explanation.
The court has listed the matter for further hearing on July 7.
According to the news reports, the death rate in Tihar Jail has increased as 15 inmates have died from January to April this year whereas in 2013 it was 34.
The news items said a majority of the deaths in Tihar were due to natural causes while the other major reasons were suicide and brawl between the inmates.
The articles have also questioned why each time any prisoner dies, CCTV cameras don't catch anything.

When Adobe bundled Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign as Creative Suite (CS), they chose to redesign their icons so they would appear more related. OK, a worthy branding pursuit. It's been done successfully by software companies before. The new icons looked related and even looked nice. They are, however, a complete failure.
The oldest app icons used to indicate the program's purpose: Photoshop's had a photographic eye, Illustrator's had an illustration of Venus. We designers could all relate. Then came InDesign. Its icon was a butterfly flying out a window. Abstract for sure, especially considering its competitors at the time: Quark's literal "hand with pen editing page elements" and Pagemaker's "3D page." The butterfly doesn't make any sense really but it didn't bother me at the time because it was so different from the others that I had no problem quickly identifying it.
I think that InDesign icon was the beginning of the stupid period of Adobe icons. For CS, they gave each app's icon a different meaningless thing. Photoshop got a feather, Illustrator got a flower, and InDesign got a different butterfly. For the release of CS2, Adobe just chose to stylistically homogenize the same meaningless objects, and even add more.
The result of this was that I could no longer find any one of those three apps in the OS X dock at a second's glance. Even now that it's been a few years, I still sometimes open say, InDesign when I meant to open Illustrator, and have to roll over the icons and read the popup label to remember what they are. When you put the Adobe Bridge app icon (A conch shell?! Not a bridge. Of course not.) next to the InDesign icon they are almost the same color and are indistinguishable at a glance.
The CS/CS2 icons break a basic usability rule. You can't try to teach users that one thing is another and have them be anything but less effective, confused and annoyed. Photoshop is an app for creating and editing bitmap images. Adobe says, "No, it's a feather." Illustrator is an app for creating and editing vector illustrations. Adobe says, "No, it's a flower." I say bullshit. It's mystery meat. It's bad design. Don't try to tell me a hammer is a watermelon. I will rebel.
Sure I understand symbolism and abstraction, but the best abstract logos and icons convey meaning in an abstract way. That didn't happen here.
So now Creative Suite 3 is on the way and its icons are revealed. Adobe must have listened to complaints, or at least decided that CS3 needed a fresh look. They got rid of the meaningless objects, which is great. But instead, we are given "periodic table" abbreviations and nothing else. Now we have to read and decipher where we never had to read before. Put the icons together and you get a confusing mess of uppercase, lowercase and small-cap letters.
The abbreviations are not even done consistently. Illustrator is "Ai" presumably for Adobe Illustrator. Why is "Illustrator" lowercase? So then you'd think Photoshop would be "Ap." But no, it's "Ps". Why? OK, I'd assume then that InDesign would be "Id". Wrong again. It's small-caps "Id". Why small-caps when Illustrator is not small-caps? So we users have to learn a whole new code here, and one with arbitrary rules. Again, making users learn something new, useless, and meaningless.
The best abbreviation systems have specific rules. They are not arbitrary. Because of that, they can be easily understood. Isn't that the point?
These icons are so minimal, the only other thing differentiating these codes from one another is color. Very subtle color differences sometimes. So if you're color blind, all you have are the codes that suck, and that really sucks.
I think the CS3 icon system is simply lazy. It's a lot of work to create individual icons that convey purpose AND are stylistically related to similarly branded icons. Adobe spent all their time on the latter, and blew off the former and most important quality of good icons.

In reversal, Sunni party to contest Iraq vote
The U.S. has tied its troop drawdown to a fair and smooth election process. An eruption of election-related violence could slow or stop the withdrawal of combat forces slated for the end of the summer.
In a sign of the potential violence, police on Thursday found a minibus packed with explosives in the town of Saqlawiyah, about 45 miles (75 kilometers) west of Baghdad.
U.S. officials have been closely watching the nationwide vote, for signs it will be free and fair. In Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton accused Iran and other unidentified neighbors of Iraq of trying to influence the vote.
Washington has long been worried about the influence of Iran, also ruled by a Shiite majority, on Iraq. Many Shiite political groups here have long ties with Iran that date back to their exile days under Saddam, when many political figures sought refuge in Iran.
The Iraqi government, meanwhile, vowed to provide extra security to Christians in the northern city of Mosul. The city is considered one of the last strongholds of the insurgency, and minorities including Christians have often been targeted by insurgents.
The Iraqi government said it would also set up a committee to investigate a recent spate of killings against Christians there.
The announcement came as five people were killed in the city Thursday, according to police officials. None of the five is believed to be Christian, said the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

University of Texas Arlington
UT Arlington gets federal grant for new VUB program
Thursday, November 8, 2012
Media Contact: Bridget Lewis, Office:817-272-3317, Cell:214-577-9094, email@example.com
The U.S. Department of Education has awarded The University of Texas at Arlington a $1.25 million grant to fund a new Veterans Upward Bound program for five years.
Veterans Upward Bound serves those who are low-income or the first in their families to attend college. The grant allows for 135 participants and will provide free counseling, mentoring, pre-college academic instruction, tutoring, and other support.
The UT Arlington program launched this fall and is one of 51 nationwide to receive the federal support.
"We are committed to helping our veterans, many of whom are fresh out of combat and need extra support and confidence to achieve their educational goals," said Lisa Thompson, director of UT Arlington's TRIO Pre-College Programs, which developed the grant proposal along with the support of the University's Student Veteran Advisory Committee.
The federal funding will also allow the new Veterans Upward Bound program to hire a program coordinator, adviser and other staff and to recruit military veterans from Dallas and Tarrant counties who want to pursue a college education.
The Veterans Upward Bound specifically provides instruction in mathematics through pre-calculus, laboratory science, foreign language, composition and literature. Projects also may provide short-term remedial or refresher courses for veterans who are high school graduates but have delayed pursuing post-secondary education.
In addition to academic support, participants receive advice on scholarships, grants and federal assistance for which they qualify.
Alexa Smith-Osborne, an associate professor of social work, helped found the Student Veteran Advisory Committee and said the University worked for several years to secure support for the Veterans Upward Bound program.
"This program will fill one of the gaps in services, which have challenged our efforts to increase graduation rates for student veterans in the state with the second highest veteran population in the nation," Smith-Osborne said. "It will specifically target and close the preparation gap for those who have not had help or role models to help them prepare and attend college."
She added: "The program will also further our efforts to build a veteran-friendly campus with evidence-based support services, telehealth initiatives, and supported education intervention studies."
For more information, contact the UT Arlington Veterans Upward Bound Program at 817-272-9882, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.uta.edu/veteransub.
The University of Texas at Arlington is a comprehensive research institution of more than 33,200 students and more than 2,200 faculty members in the heart of North Texas. Visit www.uta.edu to learn more.

Drug addiction, broken families and domestic problems are pushing youth to join the ubiquitous stone-pelting cartels in the Kashmir valley.
Jammu and Kashmir police on Wednesday claimed that 72% of 1000 youth arrested in Srinagar district for stone-pelting belong to the broken families. And majority of them are hooked to drugs, which is one the biggest factor that drives them to fall into the trap of stone-pelting.
"We have conducted our own survey about the 1000 youth arrested for stone-pelting in Srinagar district. We found that 72% have a background of broken families. Some are orphans and some have other problems. Majority of them if not all also have the history of drug addiction", said Syed Ashiq Hussain Bukhari, senior superintendent of police (SSP), Srinagar.
What is more worrying factor is that the heroism displayed by the stone throwers during clashes with security forces has been under the influence of the drugs, police said.
The images of stone pelters chasing the security forces laced with deadly weapons or attacking armoured vehicles with rocks and tree trunks during the street clashes have received much attention last summer. But police now say these heroics were nothing but drug-induced machismo to create sensation.
"If you see a picture in which a stone pelter jumps over a bullet proof vehicle, is because the man is under the influence of the drugs. A normal man cannot do it knowing fully well it will not have any impact. It is only drug-induced heroism," said Bukhari More alarming is the fact that the drug addicts are easily falling victim to anti-national elements who exploit their weakness to force them to join stone pelting groups and brave bullets.
"They (drug addicts) are easy to fall prey to the mentors who are waiting to exploit such men for creating disturbance and stone pelting," said the SSP.
Official figures reveal around 110 people have lost their lives and 537 civilians were injured mostly in security forces firing during stone-pelting incidents from May to September 21, 2010. Around 1,274 CRPF men and 2,747 police personnel have been injured during the same period across the valley.
Police have now started de-addiction camps to treat youth with complaints of drug addictions. "We have held some camps for the youth with history of drugs. We have a full-fledged de-addiction centre functional for helping the youth to overcome the problems," said Bukhari.

Misfits' Jerry Only: If Glenn Danzig Wants To Come Be a Team Player, We're Good
We caught up with Jerry Only, who gave us a different perspective on a potential Misfits reunion with Glenn Danzig and Doyle.
We caught up with Jerry Only, who gave us a different perspective on a potential Misfits reunion with Glenn Danzig and Doyle.
The horror punk vocalist recently spoke about two different albums he's gearing up to release, along with a special track crafted for 'The Walking Dead.'
Glenn Danzig spoke with Full Metal Jackie about the Samhain shows, balancing all his projects and his future plans.
Former Misfits frontman Glenn Danzig has been denied the rights to the band's merchandising income in court.
A Glenn Danzig-led Danzig and Samhain set leads the list of new additions to the 2014 Housecore Horror Film Festival.
Misfits leader Jerry Only has filed legal docs to dismiss former frontman Glenn Danzig's lawsuit over the band's trademarks.
The idea for the statue was brought to the AMC by James Moody, who owns the Mohawk, one of Austin's many well-known live music venues.
It was recently reported that former Misfits frontman Glenn Danzig filed a lawsuit against his onetime bandmate Jerry Only alleging trademark infringement. With their iconic 'Crimson Ghost' mascot, the Misfits name and logo has launched several lucrative merchandising deals since Danzig's departure and it appears that Danzig feels he's unjustly missing out on a piece of the proverbial pie.
According to various sources, former Misfits frontman Glenn Danzig is suing current Misfits bassist Jerry Only over rights to a lucrative merchandising deal with Hot Topic. Additionally, Danzig claims that Jerry Only registered trademarks "for everything Misfits-related in 2000" behind the singer's back.
Director Thomas Mignone has worked with a number of rockers over the years and now several of them are lining up to help the video auteur with his upcoming feature film project. Mignone is overseeing a biopic on '70s and '80s porn star Vanessa Del Rio, with Soulfly's Max Cavalera recently signing on to work on music for the movie, while Glenn Danzig has agreed to take on a role in the film.
Most of you by now have probably seen the viral video of Misfits / Danzig vocalist Glenn Danzig getting punched out by North Side Kings singer Danny Marianinho. The punch seen round-the-world was filmed in 2004, but Danzig himself recently took a rare moment to discuss what exactly happened on that night.

Stamp collectors hail blockbuster New York trade
By Daniel Trotta
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Wall Street's "Bond King" Bill Gross
and another stamp collector swapped the two most valuable items
in the philatelic world on Wednesday in a trade experts called
the biggest deal in 100 years.
The trade was remarkable in that it was a cashless exchange
involving one $3 million item for another, and because it
completed Gross' collection of every U.S. stamp from the 19th
century — a feat no museum has accomplished.
Gross is the managing director of asset management firm
PIMCO and the subject of the book "The Bond King." He recently
revealed himself as the mysterious collector "Monte Carlo," who
had been snatching up valuable stamps at auction.
In Wednesday's swap, Gross acquired a 1-cent "Z Grill"
stamp, one of two known to exist, for a block of four "Inverted
Jenny" stamps, now owned by Donald Sundman, president of the
Mystic Stamp Company.
"It is truly the biggest event in the past 100 years. (The
Z Grill) is like the Holy Grail of stampdom," said Charles
Shreve, president of Shreves Philatelic Galleries, which helped
Gross build his collection and represented him at the trading
The Z Grill, issued in 1868 with a profile of Benjamin
Franklin, is valued for its rarity and the waffle-like grill on
the back that better absorbed postmarks and prevented people
from reusing them.
The Inverted Jenny — a 24-cent airmail stamp from 1918 —
is treasured for the kind of error that drives up the value of
collectibles. Its depiction of a Curtiss JN-4 biplane, known as
the Jenny, was inverted, making the plane look like it is
flying upside down.
Gross tried to buy the Z Grill in 1998, but was outbid by
Sundman, who paid a record-setting $935,000. Gross then broke
the record two weeks ago by buying the Inverted Jenny block for
$2.97 million.
The swap now implicitly values the Z Grill at the same
price — making it the most valuable single stamp known.
"I had a serious case of seller's remorse," Sundman said of
giving up the Z Grill. "I bought the Z Grill because it was the
rarest stamp in the world. But I get a wonderful item in

I like the red jerseys, but I'm glad that the Reds don't wear them too often. I think that when a team wears their alternate jersey too often, it gets old. It is better when the alternate jersey is a "change-of-pace".
However, I would like for the Reds to wear them for Sunday road games, too.
Of course, what I would really like is for the club to get some good relief pitchers to put in them!

Our tour was GREAT!!!! We had the best time, will tour with him again on our next visit.
We took the shore excursion on Feb 6 2013. Elvis was our driver and tour guide. He is very informative, and lots of fun. You definitely get your moneys worth and would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the island.
Sonny was our tour guide, driver, and Disc Jockey.... Greatest fun was had. The tour ran on time for all segments; shopping in Charlotte Amalie; then given our choice of beaches. We choose Magen's beach and it was beautiful, not crowded. Sonny was very informative and shared his island knowledge. Thanks Viator
Sonny Liston tour was great tour guide,we enjoyed his commends and sing while going from place to place.Highly recommend this tour!
Loved it
We really enjoyed the sightseeing and shopping trip. Our tour guide was a blast! Besides telling us all about the island, he told the funniest jokes and lead us in sing-a-longs. We really enjoyed getting to see Magan Bay. Our favorite part of the tour was going to the top of the island.
10plus for sunny's tours, he is informative hilarious and had the tour rocking and singing to his tunes. Great day and I go back ill do it again.
Loved this tour, I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see St. Thomas. We saw a couple other tours around and they weren't laughing, smiling and having a good time as we were. Also this was our first trip booked with viator and cannot wait to book more with them.
It was lively and fun. Our tour made more noise than all the other tours combined. Sunny's name accurately describes his disposition. He was fun, knowledgeable and made people feel welcome.
United Kingdom
Sunny is the best - great time - singing dancing and seeing the island
Wonderful trip, Elvis was great with his information about the island. The music was great and I would definately do it again
The excursion was exceptionally great!!! Our tour guide, Elvis, was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was patient and gave us the amount of time we wanted at the various stopping points. I thouroughly enjoyed every minute and was very impressed with the service provided. I highly recommend the excursion at St. Thomas.
If you ever, ever take just one tour in your life.... Make it this tour. You will never have a better time in your life... Sunny and his wife Gigi were awesome.... I will go back to St. Thomas just to take a tour with them.
Fantastic Tour with a very knowledgeable tour operator. The Tour guide was from the island and really knew the history. He made the tour enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to my friends and family.
Had a wonderful tour, fantastic and fun driver. From start to finish the tour was well organised and professional. Really enjoyed the music in the tour bus, added to an already great time. Would highly recommend.
Excellent tour. The driver made the tour memorable and showed us the most important spots.
The ride was fun and entertaining.
Had a blast! Was very entertaining and made it so much fun. We sang through out the trip, went to great scenic sites. Didn't have as much time at the beach as we wanted, not because of our guide but because of a very inconsiderate woman who took her time shopping at the gift shop, please be courteous to everyone on the tour. Sapphire beach was great we saw a few iguanas.
Superb experience and great service!
Absolutely amazing, Sunny Liston is the best tour guide ever. He made the trip fun with so much laughter. Please be sure to ask for Sunny Liston to be your driver....
Very nice tour, reasonably price. Be aware, there are lots of curvy roads in St Thomas and people may be carsick. Highly recommended tour otherwise.
Best excursion of our trip.
Excellent!! Sunny Liston make it all worth while with his entretaining music and history of the island....You could see other tour vehicles go bye, and they envy our enthusiasm, and overall party mood. If there was something I did not care about, was Saphire beach....not a great beach to go to, lots of sea plants all over.
good value for the money
My husband and I recently booked this tour on our cruise to the Caribbean. We had a great time with Sunny and he truly made this a great experience! He gave great commentary about the island and stopped to let us take many great pictures along the entire tour. As mentioned in other reviews, the Banana Daiquiri's are amazing! We chose Sapphire Beach and were not disappointed! The beach was not crowded and the water was beautiful! We rented snorkeling gear and saw a sting ray among other beautiful fish. There is also a small food stand to get a good lunch (burgers $10, fish sandwich $14). I would recommend wearing your swim suit on the tour if you're going to the beach as the restrooms were extremely hot. Overall we were extremely pleased with booking this tour and would highly recommend it.
This was the perfect way to see St Thomas when we had a relatively short amount of time. We selected the beach option, and I'm so glad I did - the water was crystal clear and warm - just what you expect in the Caribbean! The views from the mountaintop were spectacular and our guide was the best!
