ISLAMABAD: Afghan Foreign Minister Dr Zalmai Rassoul will raise the issue of "Pakistan's rocket shelling" on Afghan border regions in the United Nations as Kabul is "deeply concerned" at the cross-border rocketing, an Afghan foreign ministry spokesman told The Express Tribune on Thursday.
Dr Faramarz Tamanna, deputy Afghan foreign ministry spokesperson, said the Afghan government will seek international help to resolve the issue.
The Afghan foreign minister has reached the US and will highlight the issue of cross-border rocket attacks in his speech to the UN Security Council, Dr Tamanna said on the phone from Kabul.
"Rassoul will talk about this issue in his speech and will express deep concerns over the Pakistani shelling," he said, adding that the foreign minister will talk about the negative impact of the shelling, Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, regional security and the war on terror.
Asked if he thinks Pakistan and Afghanistan have failed to resolve the problem bilaterally, the spokesperson said that Kabul was still confident that both neighbours can resolve the issue.
"We believe the two countries can resolve the problem through diplomatic channels but we need to understand each other."
He said Afghanistan had discussed the issue with Pakistan's prime minister, foreign minister and others, "but these meetings have not yielded positive results yet."
"In this critical situation we hope Pakistan has to do more to establish security in Afghanistan as peace and security here is related to the region."
He informed The Express Tribune that a trilateral meeting of Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United Kingdom will also be held in New York on September 26. The trilateral process started during the visit of Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to Kabul in July when he joined British Prime Minister David Cameron and Afghan President Hamid Karzai at the meeting.
"We seek more help from Pakistan in the war on terror and promotion of the peace process in Afghanistan," the spokesperson said.
On their part, Pakistani officials contend that fugitive Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants, led by senior cadres Maulvi Fazlullah and Maulvi Faqir Muhammad, are using Afghanistan's Kunar and Nuristan provinces as a springboard for launching attacks on Pakistani security forces. Pakistan says its forces only retaliate when militants from the Afghan soil launch attacks on their border posts and villages.
Afghan officials, on the other hand, accuse Pakistani security forces of targeting Afghan civilians in the two provinces with mortar and artillery shelling.
The foreign ministry spokesperson said that Afghanistan will take tangible steps to find the solution to Pakistan's rocketing on Afghan soil as "we are responsible for the rights and security of Afghans".
But analysts think the move could be futile. "Pakistan and Afghanistan can resolve the issue bilaterally or can seek help of friendly countries rather than going to the United Nations. But If Kabul intends to raise this issue in the UN, Pakistan will also do the same," Ayaz Wazir, Pakistan's former ambassador to the US told The Express Tribune.

Ernst-Willner Prize
In memory of Ernst Willner, one of the co-founders of the event, this prize is awarded on an annual basis. Ernst Willner was the director-general of ORF's regional studio of Carinthia. In 2008, it was the Austrian Clemens J. Setz who received the prize worth 7,000 Euros.
The 7,000 € Ernst Willner Prize is sponsored by numerous publishing houses from many European countries. In this year the award went to Austria: the second author nominated by Daniela Strigl, Clemens J. Setz, won the prize. Strigl said that she had voted for a "highly cryptical" story about weighing up and re-weighing" which showed what excessive meat consumption can do to men.
The Willner-Prize was presented by the ORF Regional Director Willy Haslitzer.

Frank Wilczek held his Nobel Lecture December 8, 2004, at Aula Magna, Stockholm University. He was presented by Professor Sune Svanberg, Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics. Summary: The idea that Quarks that are born free are confined and can't be pulled apart was once considered a paradox. The emerging theory for strong interactions, Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) predicts the existence of gluons, which together with quarks can be seen indirectly as jets from hard scattering reactions between particles. Quantum Chromo Dynamics predicts that the forces between quarks are feeble for small separations but are powerful far away, which explains confinement. Many experiments have confirmed this property of the strong interaction.

ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) - Ceola Clark scored 19 points Thursday night and keyed a late 11-0 run that propelled Western Illinois to a 71-61 victory over Oakland, Mich.
Tommie Tyler and Terell Parks scored 16 points apiece for the Leathernecks (8-5, 3-2 Summit League), who have won two in a row and four of five. Obi Emegano added 11.
Reggie Hamilton's 16 points led the Golden Grizzlies (8-10, 2-4), whose losing streak stretched to six games. Drew Valentine added 15 and Travis Bader 13.
The Leathernecks shot 58 percent (25 of 43), and Oakland committed 20 turnovers that led to 28 Western Illinois points.
The Leathernecks were up 53-44 with 8:19 left before a 3-pointer by Bader and Hamilton's three-point play cut it to 53-50.
But Western Illinois scored the next 11 points, including seven by Clark, for a 64-50 advantage with 3:08 to go.
Oakland had won the teams' previous 10 meetings.

Friends, families seen at Pinehurst
PINEHURST � Perhaps no event signifies the start of summer like the U.S. Open. With the 114th Championship taking place just 124 miles from Lenoir County, several residents have made the two-hour trek � three hours by the time you park, shuttle to the gate and make it through security � to Pinehurst watch the biggest names in golf compete on one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour.
Pinehurst�s famous Course No. 2 is the setting for this year�s event.
Blake Herring and Joshua Lovick, both in their early 20s, have been friends all their lives. Both former college baseball players � Lovick at ECU, Herring at Pitt Community College � they�ve taken up golf as a hobby.
�Seeing the big-name golfers you see on TV in person is pretty impressive,� Lovick said Thursday afternoon. �Witnessing how Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy go hole to hole, how they set up and how they prepare themselves for shots is interesting, because you don�t see that on TV.�
Ironically, this week�s U.S. Open is not only the first golf major the pair have been to, it�s the first professional golf tournament either have attended.
�It�s been a pretty amazing event,� Herring said Thursday afternoon. �The setup of the course is unbelievable. The atmosphere is here is a big deal.�
Jason Bryant visited Course No. 2 on Friday with Adam Short, Kinston�s planning director.
Bryant said it was the third time he has been to the U.S. Open, coming in 1999 and 2005.
�You don�t get to do stuff like this very often,� he said. �(Short) had never been. He�s one of my golfing buddies and I wanted to give him a chance to see it.�
One of the biggest differences Bryant noticed was the addition of grandstands. He said in the previous two championships spectators were able to get closer to the action along the ropes but that organizers had made up for it with more tiered seating.
�I was a little disappointed we couldn�t get closer,� he said. �Before, we were able to bring chairs and sit and watch the action.�
Wiley Dawson, the general manager at Dan Wise Chevrolet in La Grange, said he�s been around golf for 40 years. He�s made the trip for all four rounds this week to the North Carolina Sandhills with his wife Mary Anne to celebrate their anniversary. They attended the 2005 U.S. Open, held on the same course, as well.
�There�s a lot more people,� Mary Anne Dawson said about the difference since the U.S. Open nine years ago.
Organizers estimate more than 300,000 people will spend part of the four-day weekend at the tournament.
�Everything is laid out good, the traffic isn�t too bad,� Wiley Dawson said. �It�s a long way (to the front gate) from the parking lot, but it�s well-orchestrated.�
The Dawsons said they learned a few tricks from their inaugural visit to Pinehurst. The couple planned to spend all day Saturday in the grandstands near the green at hole No. 18 to make sure they could watch their favorites finish the round.
�We�re going to get there early and just stay,� Wiley Dawson said. �If one of us has to go somewhere, we�ll hold the seat � but we want to see the big dogs finish.�
Free Press Editor Bryan C. Hanks contributed to this report.

Accrington Stanley boss James Beattie says he beat off several other sides to complete the permanent signing of Adam Buxton.
The 22-year-old defender has joined the Reds on a one-year deal having spent two months on loan at the Store First Stadium last season.
And Beattie is delighted to have got his man after Buxton was released by Wigan Athletic.
"There were a lot of other teams looking at him but he liked what he saw here last season.
"He knows it is a great club for him to showcase his skills. Adam is a talented young player, he is quiet off the pitch but tough on it. He is a great addition for us."

CLEVELAND - A man fatally shot his 2-year-old son in the head when he fired into the window of a home during a dispute with the child's mother, Cleveland police said.
Police said the boy, identified as Derrice Alexander, was standing on a landing when he was struck early Tuesday.
The toddler was rushed to Lutheran Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, CBS affiliate WOIO reported.
The little boy's mother was apparently unhurt. The couple also has a 1-year-old child who was not home at the time, WOIO reported.
Police said the father threw the gun into a nearby garbage can and then fled in a car. He was taken into custody later but not immediately charged.
Police Chief Calvin Williams said the man is a convicted felon and should not have had a weapon. He declined to give details about that criminal record but WOIO said the man had faced assault and domestic violence charges in the past.

Hagan to ask for resignations of county's top three appointees
TAMPA -- The chairman of the Hillsborough County Commission told each of the county's top three appointed officials Tuesday that he will request their resignations in an effort to clean house.
Ken Hagan confirmed Tuesday that his office had talked with County Administrator Pat Bean, County Attorney Renee Lee and Internal Performance Auditor Jim Barnes to inform them of his intentions. He will make that request formal during a commission workshop Wednesday and plans to issue a statement outlining his rationale later Tuesday.
"I'll be issuing a statement in which I ask for the resignations of all three, the county administrator, the county attorney and the internal performance auditor," Hagan said. "The leadership they have displayed has fallen woefully short of expectations, and I want to get this issue behind us so we can return as quickly as possible to the business of the county."
Hagan said if the three do not submit their resignations shortly, he will ask his fellow commissioners to fire them. The earliest that he could pursue such a vote would be March 17.
The county's top three appointed officials have been engaged in a series of ongoing skirmishes. The latest involve allegations from Barnes, the auditor, that employees in Bean and Lee's office have been snooping through his e-mails.
Barnes claims the e-mail searches took place late last year, shortly after he issued a report showing Bean had given herself, Lee and several other high-ranking employees 1 percent pay raises without commission permission in 2007. Bean and Lee took heat from commissioners and the public over the pay raises.The disclosure came after revelations that Bean had given her six top deputies steep pay raises at a time when county employees were facing layoffs due to budget cuts. Both Bean and Lee have faced criticism from commissioners over their handling of other high-profile issues, including a proposed transit tax referendum.
Barnes, meanwhile, has faced continual criticism from commissioners since not long after he was hired in 2007 for quickly seeking a pay raise and for producing audits that were sloppy and too few in number. Just a week ago, a peer review performed by an outside auditor concluded that Barnes' work does not meet accepted auditing standards.

So much advice . . .
Most furniture finishes will not be satisfactory on a firearm because of moisture from sweat, grease and oil from skin, and solvents and oils used on the firearm itself to clean and protect the firearm. These will lift waxes, fog polyester finishes, blister and soften paint, and penetrate the finishes and soften and destroy the wood. Use a finish that has been proven on firearms and is solvent and moisture resistant. There are many, but you need to make sure the one you choose is up to the task (read the recommended applications). TruOil, Permalyn, LinSpeed, Acra Coat for Wood, shellac, lacquer, solvent-based polyurethanes, and epoxies all will work well.
I do stock work for a living, and I prefer TruOil or Permalyn, but you can use just about anything you want. I have even seen stocks satisfactorily refinished with wood siding sealer, varnish, clear spray paint, paste wax, you name it. Just make sure you follow the right steps and you will get good results.
Sand the stock to 300-400 grit (always use a sanding block!!), wash the stock with a good degreasing soap (make sure you rinse it well), dry for several days, sand lightly, wipe it down with a dry cloth, seal the wood (first coat should be thin to seal the grain), let it dry for several days, sand the finish (give the following coats a smooth surface to stick to), build up several coats of whatever finish you choose to use (don't try for one coat coverage!!), and do a good job and you will likely be happy with the results.
Never try to educate someone who resists knowledge at all costs.
But what do I know?

text: Here's the scoop. Back in Nov my brother and I picked up matching brand new G20sf's. At the same time we ordered a 1000 rnds of Georgia Arms 180fmj's to break the guns in. The first day at the range, we both went through 3-4 hundred rounds and both guns ran perfect with all mags. We picked up all the stairline brass and got my Dillion 650 all set up to start realoading. Over the last couple weeks I've really been burning through the powder working up a couple different loads. 135 nosler and 180gr Delta precision FMJ. Through several hundred rounds through my 20 the 180's ran flawless. All at 1.25oal and some as light as 1100fps up to some hotter stuff around 1225fps. The 135's were a little different story, here and their, maybe every 50 rnds I would get a FTF, where the hollow point would hang up on the left or upper left side of the chamber, I eventually went from 1.25" to 1.242" oal and that seemed to fix things. Well last Sat I was at the range with my brother when my gun had the same type of FTF with the 180fmj's, I was floored! By this time my gun has 1500 to 1600 rounds through it and my brother's only has maybe 500. So we continue shooting and the next mag my brother shoot's he has the same FTF. Now I'm a little worried something is really wrong with my load. So here's what finally prompted me to check in with you guys, Im at the range today with my Buddie cause he's got a new Xdm 9mm he's been dying to shoot. My gun FTF like 6 times in 150 rnds with three different mags! 4 times with my 180 that always shot awsome, and two times with my 135's at the new OAL that I thought I had straightened out. By the way the gun is completely stock other than a 3.5# connector and a glock extended slide release. The gun was also Just cleaned and lubed lightly. Here's what I'm thinking, I dont think it's the mags, their new and really don't have many rounds through them, the follower is a little dirty but not bad. I'm thinking I have a brass problem. Some of them have been reloaded maybe 6-7 times and some are only on there 2nd loading. A few had very small smiles from when I was working up my 135 load but I threw 99% of those out. I did a very close look at the rounds that jammed and the round under it in the mag and neither one had any obvious signs that would lead me to believe they wouldnt function correct. Most of the brass has some scars and extractor marks on the rims. Im thinking after repeated loadings the brass might not be sized back down enough and isnt stacking and feeding right from the mags. Also the brass is cleaned and polished very well before loading. Im heading to the range monday and I've got 800 rnds of 180's loaded in brand new stairling nickle cases, im wondering if that fixes my problems. Any Ideas would be nice. Thanks, Aaron

Sherrington: The Kevin Ollie story starts in Dallas; Mack Brown pulls for Kentucky
In the Kevin Ollie Story, the plotline keeps returning to Dallas.
Born in Oak Cliff. Grew up with his mom, an ordained minister, in South Central Los Angeles, where he attended legendary Crenshaw High, home of Darryl Strawberry, Ice-T and John "Hot Plate" Williams. Spent summers in Dallas on his father's landscape crew. Got his big NBA break with the Mavs. Lived with his dad when he played his only season in Dallas in '97. Father still runs the landscape business. Mom, recovered from breast cancer surgery, lives in Plano.
And on Monday, Ollie's UConn Huskies will play on the biggest stage of his life, JerryWorld, home of his beloved Dallas Cowboys.
Considering such an intriguing background, all wrapped up in Dallas, Chatter had to ask:
Do you still mow your own lawn, and are you a Toro or a Troy-Bilt man?
"No, I don't mow my own lawn no more," he said. "Pops used to get me up about 4 o'clock in the morning, and he didn't pay me a lot. I come see some of these apartments I used to cut, and I know he got me.
"He got me all my life."
Everywhere he went, Ollie learned hard lessons. Growing up in South Central LA. Playing for crusty Jim Calhoun at UConn.
Needing a dozen teams to flesh out a 13-year career, which ended in 2010 with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
He spent two years out of school with the Connecticut Pride of the CBA before Jim Cleamons asked him to run the Mavs' summer league team in '97. No tryout came with it. But five days into camp, after a rash of injuries, Cleamons called again. Against all odds, Ollie won a seat way down the bench.
And in the second game of the season, on the road at Seattle, he scored 11 points in 27 minutes and held Gary "The Glove" Payton to 12 points in a 90-88 Mavs win.
Or as Sam Perkins put it afterward, "That kid got in GP's head and wouldn't get out."
The game proved to be a rare highlight in Dallas. But everywhere he went, teammates loved him for his work ethic and attitude.
"Kevin Ollie changed the culture with the Thunder," Kevin Durant told the Hartford Courant last summer.
"And he's doing the same thing now with UConn."
Another day, another Charles Barkley story: The man at the epicenter of the world's greatest sports studio show heard that his favorite band, the Eagles, was playing Friday night at the House of Blues in a gig hosted by CBS and TNT.
Turns out the rumor was partially true. Don Henley and his band entertained, and a good time was had by all.
Of course, Barkley couldn't let it go.
"I guess CBS and TNT could only afford one Eagle."
At least it was the right Eagle.
Mack Brown, who used to coach football, tweeted to his 59,400 followers Sunday, "I am pulling for Ky tomorrow night."
Grew up in Tennessee as a Kentucky basketball fan. Guess Cuonzo Martin shouldn't take it personally.
In Sunday's sort-of-state-of-the-union address, the NCAA president, Mark Emmert, made it clear unionization is bad, the NCAA is good, and the organization has 460,000 athletes to worry about, not just the guys paying the freight.
If it weren't for people like Bob Bowlsby, Big 12 boss, you'd hardly have any faith in reform at all.
For the record: Kirk Schulz, Kansas State's president, seemed like a perfectly reasonable guy, too, until he suggested NCAA committee meetings should be open to the media so we could see, "You know what, this isn't as simple as we might have thought and they're not asleep at the wheel."
Don't count on it, Kirk.
Late in Saturday's nightcap, according to ESPN Radio's Matt Mosley, three Wisconsin fans try to join the Badgers' student section. One is wearing a tiger costume. Another is dressed like a frog. Security stops the clowns cold.
Wisconsin students notice and chant for the frog, who turns out to be Montee Ball. Mr. Touchdown. Proud Badger. Denver Bronco.
Sorry, pal. No deal.
Just one question, Montee: a frog?
Doug McDermott's brother watched a member of the Final Four media talk to Everybody's Player of the Year and called it "easily the best interview we'll see this weekend."
Not a bad job evaluation for an 11-year-old.
Jake Aron, fifth-grader at the Shelton School, got the job after winning a competition for one of SI Kids' eight national postings.
He's interviewed and been interviewed and decided the most fun was any time spent on the court.
Least favorite: news conferences. Get used to it, Jake.
Serving as editor: Jake's father, Jaime, former Dallas sports wiz for the Associated Press.
A reporter who thought Jaime was one of those jerks who tries to get his kid into big events had the line of the day.
"Come to find out, it's the kid who brought his dad."
Memo to SportsDay teammate Kate Hairopoulos, who felt it necessary to point out that the image on the Godzillatron belonged to Drake, the rapper:
In the immortal words of Barry Horn, a predecessor on this gig, "No need. Chatter is tight."

If you read my earlier post lamenting the onslaught of random callers with the wrong number dialing me on my iPhone, you'll already know that the methods for blocking calls with the iPhone for free are only semi-satisfying at best. This is yet another reason why you should seriously switch to Google Voice, especially now that the App Store has approved the official Google Voice iPhone App. Google Voice gives you much greater control over your incoming calls, including the ability to block callers by number (for free). Here's how:
Step 1
Log in to your Google Voice account.
Step 2
Scroll down to the number you want to block. If they didn't leave a voicemail, you can find them in the received calls or missed calls.
Step 3
Click More and choose Block Caller.
Step 4
You'll be given the opportunity to confirm and listen to the "Not in service" that this particular caller will receive. Click Block.
Alternately, you can mark a call as spam by checking it and choosing Report Spam. When you do this, the call will immediately go to voicemail and the call will be stored in your Spam folder.
To unblock a number, say, if you want to give your cheating ex a second chance (not recommended), you can find all your blocked contacts in the Spam folder. Select the call and click Not Spam or click More and choose Unblock caller.
And that's all there is to it (do I end every tutorial with that phrase?). I really recommend switching to Google Voice and only giving out your Google Voice number. It's all I put on my business card, and it's definitely what I put into forms where I might accidentally be signing up for telemarketing. In this way, you can block calls one by one without paying $5 a month to AT&T.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
I'm afraid I can't be of much help except to say this.
Pain in the abdomen and chest
Related to eating or not
at age 60
requires a visit to the doctor
there are so many things on the list of possibilities
and some of them dangerous
including pain from the heart
pain from the gall bladder
and problems with the stomach such as ulcers
or even cancer
there is no possible way for me to tell you online what this is
it's good you have tried zantac as that would help with ulcer or reflux pain, but it has not worked
so it's time to get checked, and sooner rather than later
if the pain is particularly bad tonight, then you need to go to the ER
if this is your gall bladder (typically causes pain after eating with lots of gas)
then you might need surgery
if this is an ulcer then we need to know because ulcers can erode through the stomach lining and cause a surgical emergency
it is possible this is your heart then this pain could signal heart disease and could be a warning of a heart attack
are there non dangerous things this could be?
sure there are
could simply be bad reflux, but the zantac should make that somewhat better
could be a narrowing of the esophagus (feeding tube)
the problem is that the diagnosis of any of these problems requires labs and EKG and xray and ultrasound
Thank you.
there is simply no simple test one can do when there is internal pian in the chest or abdominal area
you are welcome
standing by
I have had 2 EKGS within the last two months.
and they have been normal
that's good
EKGs are valuable tools, but do not tell us if your heart is healthy
they tell us, often, if you are HAVING a heart attack, and they tell us if you have had one in the past
but they do not tell us if you are ABOUT to have a heart attack
that requires a stress test or a catheterization of the heart
I have also had a stress test and that was normal as well.
so that puts the heart way down the list as a possible cause
that's good news
sounds like this is being looked into, but no answers yet?
have they done an ultrasound of the gall bladder or a CT of your abdomen and pelvis?
The air bubbles is relatively new but the nausea during eating isn't. Yes, I have had an ultrasound and CT of the abdomen which also came back normal two years ago.
two years ago doesn't help much regarding your current situation
have you had an upper endoscopy
No I have not.
do you have a good primary care doctor?
I believe so.
is he or she aware of these persistent symptoms?
I have an appt with a GI physician in November, I worry about cancer.
I'm very glad you have the appointment
Any particular reason you worry about cancer?
does it run in the family?
No, but I hear so much about it so that's the first thing that comes to mind. There is no family history of cancer.
have you lost weight?
so I would put cancer way down on your worry list
this sounds like a GI problem
and not a cancer problem
I am glad you are seeing a GI doctor as they will be the best doctor to get this figured out the quickest way
Cancers in the abdomen usually produce weight loss and/or bleeding into the stool
the story you tell goes with reflux or gall bladder or ulcer disease
that's what it sounds like
and since we are pretty sure it's not your heart the GI doc is the way to go next
None of those symptoms. Thank you I feel reassured at this point.
very well
is there anything else you wish to ask me this evening about your problem?
No and thank you, ***** ***** words of God dance in your ears and bring joy to your heart as you sleep tonight!
why thank you! and may God bless you and keep you.
It was a pleasure talking with you. If this answer has been helpful to you please consider leaving positive feedback. Should you require my assistance in the future simply start your question with 'for 911doc', and I am usually on the site most days.
Try to get some good sleep
will check in with you in a few days

Deadline : 31st March 2010
Portraits are the most photographed genre in photography, from one's family snaps to a full studio session and not forgetting those special occasions. Contemporary portraits however may be derived from a wide range of disciplines in photography, from social images like documentary, reportage and editorial fields, to the more considered studio or 'staged' styles of conceptual 'tableau' images.
As in the previous year, the judges will be seeking to unearth new talent and vision from emerging and established artists alike. For the 2010 event, there will no longer be a distinction between Professional and Non-Professional categories. Instead, entrants may submit portraits either as Individual entries or as a Story.

Robo-Pharaohs Build Pyramids is the main theme of this contest. The idea is based on a virtual time machine that takes ancient Egyptian Great-Pyramids builders inside classrooms of technical schools. The new target is to build parts of the three Pyramids in sequence. Competing team members should be accurate, fast and cooperative. They should adhere to the main requirement of not using binding material between blocks. The winner team is the "Robo-Pharaoh" which succeeds to finish building assigned parts of the three Pyramids first. During three minutes, red and blue teams compete in order to mimic one of the surviving Seven World Wonders.

THERE is a certain, satisfying poetic justice in the fact that Ricky Ponting will not, after all, be able to play in the final Test of the Ashes series that starts tonight (east Caribbean time) at the Sydney Cricket Ground. International Cricket Council (ICC) referee-in-chief Ranjan Madugalle chose a 40 per cent fine of Ponting's match fee (pocket change of around US$6 000 to a multi-millionaire cricketer) rather than the suspension the Australian captain deserved. The censure resulted from the latest of Ponting's argumentative confrontations with umpires during his team's heavy loss in last week's Melbourne Test that ensured England would retain the treasured little trophy. As it turned out, further harm to his already cracked little finger during the match did what Madugalle should have. Now Ponting will have to watch while Michael Clarke takes over in an effort for a consolation victory that, if achieved, might even end Ponting's time as captain. To quote a good old Bajan saying, "God don't sleep". Whatever the reasons for Madugalle's lenient ruling, it once again raised suspicions, often stated in this column and elsewhere, that, while all cricketers might be created equal in the eyes of the ICC, some – principally Australians – are more equal than others. Former England captain Nasser Hussain, presently in Australia as a television commentator and newspaper columnist, made the same point. "What I do know is that the ICC are very quick to take action against the small guys – like West Indies off-spinner Shane Shillingford who was suspended last week for an illegal bowling action – but do not often go for the big fish of the game. "They must not be afraid to make a judgment on the sport's biggest names if they are guilty of misdemeanours." Taking up Hussain's thrust, when last were the degrees of flex measured on the actions of Muttiah Muralitharan or Harbhajan Singh, for instance? While it is impossible to come to the defence of Sulieman Benn, given his litany of disciplinary charges, why should the West Indies' left-arm spinner receive two separate suspensions and others, equally at fault, like the Australians Mitchell Johnson, Brad Haddin and Ponting, be allowed to play on after paying derisory fines? And how does Kemar Roach's fine of 50 per cent of his match fee for his mid-pitch altercation with Jacques Kallis in the Kensington Oval Test last June sit alongside Ponting's imposition of ten per cent less for a transgression, by a captain, far more damaging to the game? These are questions driven not by paranoia but by genuine concern. Ponting's fury in Melbourne followed technological confirmation from television umpire Marais Erasmus that his on-field colleague Aleem Dar was correct to rule Kevin Pietersen not out on a catch at the wicket as England amassed their formidable, match-winning total. The overwhelming majority who saw what Erasmus saw came to the same conclusion, yet Ponting immediately engaged Dar in a lengthy, finger-pointing inquest before turning his attention to the square-leg ump, Tony Hill, and Pietersen. Even in middle-of-the-night drowsiness and even knowing Ponting's record in such matters, the live television images of the captain's rant came as a shock. We've become accustomed, through the same medium, of football referees surrounded by raging, overpaid professionals querying almost every blow of the whistle. But cricket has, so far, been spared such altercations. Predictably, Ponting issued a public apology. He accepted that the "discussion" with Dar went on for too long, that he was "simply trying to seek clarification from the umpires regarding how the decision had been made" and that if anyone thought he was being disrespectful towards the umpires "this wasn't my intention". Such remorse was soon revealed for what it was. Once the fine had been imposed, Ponting asserted, on air, that he had watched the replay of the relevant decision, with its "hot spot" facility, and still believed Pietersen had hit the ball. In other words, he was still right and the umpires still wrong. It was the ultimate in pig-headedness. Had the penalty, by no means the first in his career as the belligerent leader of the game's most belligerent team, been a suspension, it would have eliminated him from the Sydney match. The fine came as a relief for a captain eager for one last chance to atone, even if partially, for his own dismal form (average 16) and that of his team. Now, for a completely different reason, that hope has been dashed. In other circumstances, there would be universal compassion for such an outstanding cricketer nearing the end of his playing days but Ponting's petulance on the field has repeatedly tarnished his reputation and tested the public's tolerance. This was his fourth fine in five years for one misdemeanour or another. Two have been for hectoring umpires, as he did in Melbourne. He had to cough up 30 per cent of his match fee in Grenada two years ago when he carried on against umpire Norman Malcolm's not out decision for a catch at the wicket against Patrick Browne. When the West Indies were last in Australia, in 2005, umpire Mark Benson quit the international panel after Ponting hassled him for turning down an appeal against Shivnarine Chanderpaul for a catch at the wicket. Technology favoured the umpire in that case as well. During the cantankerous series against India in Australia two years ago, he was widely criticised for his inability to curb the excesses of his players. There were calls, even then, for him to be dismissed. The relatively recent "Spirit of Cricket" preamble to the Laws might have been written with him and Australia in mind. It states: "Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within the laws but also within the spirit of the game. Any action which is seen to abuse the spirit causes injury to the game itself." Significantly, it adds: "The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains". It further stresses respect for the umpires, noting: "It is against the spirit of the game to dispute an umpire's decision by word, action or gesture." It was a charter Australia's cricketers had signed with great flourish. In Melbourne, Ponting appeared to have forgotten. • Tony Cozier is the most experienced cricket writer and broadcaster in the Caribbean.

You didn't specify the database size, but my guess is that the total data size about enough to fit in shared_buffers or kernel cache. On the new system (or dropped/recreated database), it would've all or mostly fit in memory which would make things like count(*) work quickly. On the old database, you probably had a lot of fragmentation which would've caused significantly more I/O to be performed thereby causing a slowdown. You could compare relation sizes to check easily. My guess is that a vacuum full would've brought the other database back up to speed. In the future, you probably want to set fillfactor to a reasonable amount to account for updates-to-blocks-between-vacuum to try and capture as few row-migrations as possible. -- Jonah H.

Urticina coriacea (Cuvier, 1798)
Common name(s): Leathery anemone, Stubby rose anemone, Scarlet anemone, Red bead anemone, Buried Urticina
|Synonyms: Tealia lofotensis
Phylum Cnidaria
Class Anthozoa
Subclass Zoantharia
Order Actiniaria (Anemones)
Suborder Nynantheae
Family Actiniidae
|Urticina coriacea at about 13 m depth near Keystone jetty.
|(Photo by: Kirt Onthank, August 2007)
How to Distinguish from Similar Species: Of anemones with a red column, Urticina lofotensis and U. columbiana have white tubercles arranged in rows. U. crassicornis may have a red column (usually with some green) but it does not accumulate sand and gravel and its tentacles usually have broad cross-bands. Urticina piscivora also has a red column but its inconspicuous tubercles do not accumulate sand and gravel. Cribrinopsis fernaldi has spherules at the margin of the oral disk and its tentacles have fine dark red zigzag bands across them. Most of the other red-columned anemones do not bury in sand or gravel.
Geographical Range: Alaska to southern California; Europe (circumpolar)
Depth Range: Low intertidal to 45 m
Habitat: Buried in coarse sand or gravel in tidepools, subtidal, may be on rock walls subtidally.
Biology/Natural History: This species
usually is attached to a rock below the sediment with only the oral disk
exposed, or subtidal individuals may be attached directly to a rock and
not living in sediment. Predators include the leather star Dermasterias
imbricata. This species may be a species complex.

Paris (Nov. 7)
Jewish refugees from Germany and from the Saar region may find it difficult in the future to enter France, as a result of a movement which was proclaimed here today to close the frontiers of France to political refugees and also to oust foreigners from the country.
The movement is explained as being a reaction to the assassination of King Alexander of Yugoslavia and the ease with which his killers entered France. In reality it is, however, a widespread anti-foreign drive of the greatest magnitude.
The advocates of anti-foreign laws point out that thousands of German Jewish refugees have been admitted to France during the past year without visas, and in many cases even without passports. The critics of the government contend that many of the refugees cross the border illegally. They claim that the government's laxity will bring a new flood of refugees into France next year and will complicate the existing unemployment conditions.
There are approximately 35,000 German Jewish refugees living in France, the leaders of the anti-foreign drive estimate. The drive is directed not as much against the Jewish exiles from Germany as against all the foreigners residing in France.
Paris, alone, has close to half a million foreigners who would be vitally affected if the projected anti-foreign laws were promulgated. The sponsors of the anti-foreign movement argue that many aliens are holding jobs in France while Frenchmen are unemployed.
Aliens who make their residence in France have often proven to be an embarrassment to the government owing to their political intrigues, advocates of restrictive policies declare. They also say that border patrols are altogether inadequate as is the system of surveillance over foreigners in the country.
The large number of foreigners in France is due to the huge French losses in the World War. After the war it was found necessary to import hundreds of thousands of laborers to work in industry.

Happy 4th, Birthday Girl!
Getting ready to kick off your daughter's 4th year? After doing Winnie the Pooh for her first, Dora for her 2nd, and butterflies for her 3rd, you may be a party planning expert…or running dry on ideas! Don't worry, we've got great suggestions for a girl's 4th birthday, all of which come highly recommended by other Circle of Moms members.
4th Birthday Parties for Girls
Dress Up Parties. 4 year-olds adore dressing up—whether in fairy wings, full-out princess regalia or cowgirl costumes. As mother of three Tanya B. shares: "Last year my 4 year-old had a costume party. She loved it; everyone else did too."
Dessert Decorating. From cupcakes and cookies to ice cream sundaes, dessert decorating parties are simple, fun, and very affordable. As mother-of-three Dorothy W., shares: "I had a very inexpensive birthday party for my daughter. I had a sundae party. I bought a couple of buckets of vanilla and put it on a decorated table and let all the children make their own sundaes (with parental help of course). The children had a ball…the table had crushed Oreos, rainbow sprinkles, carmel, fudge, gummie bears, chopped nuts and anything else you can think of to put on a sundae."
Bounce House. Whether you rent equipment or go to a bounce center, 4 year-olds will love jumping their way through a birthday party. As Amy M. shares: "(Bounce centers) are lots of fun. I had my daughter's 4th birthday party there and the kids had a blast. It is all inflatable slides and bounce house type things."
Bumper Bowling. Bowling alleys also make for easy and entertaining parties. Mindi R. advises: "Check out your local bowling alley. If the parents are staying, they can help the kiddos bowl, and many bowling alleys have bumpers and ramps that help the kids aim the ball."
Great Gifts for 4-Year-Old Girls
Dolls and Dress Up. By age 4, your daughter may have some pretty strong opinions on what she likes, and you can use those interests as cues. If you're not sure though, many 4 year-old girls love dolls, animal toys, and dress-up gear. As Heather W. shares: "My daughter is 4 and she really enjoys Barbies, dress-up clothes, Zhu Zhu pets, any kind of princess things, books...Littlest Petshop, and baby dolls."
Arts and Crafts. Arts and other creative gifts are great at this age. For example, Michelle M. found that a "kitchen set, puzzles, and Play Doh" were all hits with her 4 year-old daughter.
Outdoor Toys. Frisbees, jump rope, bubbles, glittery bouncy balls, and water balloons are all fun for 4-year-old girls, says Sheila M. Meanwhile Jessica H. found that a motorized jumping toy was the most successful gift to date: "When my daughter was that age I got her a game called 'Honeybee Hop'. Hands down, that is the gift she played with more than any other we've given her. In fact, she is 6 1/2 now and she and her friends had it out last week, having a blast with it again."

Huntington Bank's (NASDAQ: HBAN; www.huntington.com) first survey of consumers in its Midwest markets, the newly created Midwest Economic Index, reveals that one in five consumers plan to buy or lease a vehicle in 2013. Consumers are planning these purchases as a result of cautious optimism about the U.S. economy this year. Sixty-six percent of respondents in the survey say they won't be purchasing a vehicle this year, and 14 percent are undecided, but in the current economy, one in five (21 percent) are considering a vehicle purchase in 2013. All of the respondents surveyed live in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Western Pennsylvania or West Virginia. "The convergence of pent-up demand, improved credit scores, greater access to credit, aging vehicles, low interest rates, and high trade-in values have all created a perfect storm of buying for the automobile consumer in 2013," said Rich Porrello, director of Huntington's Auto Finance division. "With these factors, consumers are recognizing that there has never been a better time to visit their auto dealership to purchase a vehicle." The average passenger car on the road, as of June 2011, is 11.1 years old, and the average light truck is 10.4 years old, according to Polk, the automotive research firm. With so many drivers needing to replace their aging vehicles, Polk has forecasted the sale of 15.3 million light vehicles in 2013, which is a 5.6 percent increase over sales in 2012. The Midwest Economic Index survey was conducted in mid-November 2012 in the Midwest, an area of the country that has outpaced the national economic recovery in terms of aggregate employment. The Huntington Midwest Economic Index surveyed a random sample of consumers in Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Ohio, Central and Southern Ohio, Indianapolis, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with statistically relevant responses available for each region. More information is available at http://www.businesswire.com/cgi-bin/mmg.cgi?eid=50503228&lang=en. Methodology Echo Research conducted 2,100 online interviews (n=2, 133) among adult consumers within the five primary Midwestern regions of the Huntington Bank Community – Ohio, Michigan, Western Pennsylvania, Indianapolis, and West Virginia. Respondents participated from Nov. 12-20, 2012. These findings have a margin of error +/-2.1 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.

Good Animes, in my genre.
I already watched Naruto, Hellsing, Trigun, Hikaru-no-go and Get Backers.
Of those 6, i liked Naruto, Hajime no ippo and Get backers far more than the rest of them.
Think i want 2 see the characters become stronger and stronger, like Dbz.
Anyone knows a good anime wich is, *Funny at the right times, *Where you get addicted to, *And has a good amount of action in it.
What there hasnt got to be in *A fake story, or a story wich is over-pumped with action(and the storyline gets less important), *A nerdy character : :p .
Well hope 2 get a respond soon, CyA, MatijN!!
Try maburaho its prety good. Not as much action as ippo but it is reaal well done and fits your criteria well. Lots of funny characters, myterios nerdy hero who gets stronger, and a slightly ecci twist. It'll have your sides hurting at times, and make you cheer at other.
Well...it seems that you want action and fighting etc...well it doesnt completly fit your catagory but it is still one of the greatest series' around. Berserk. Definatly check it out. Its worth it. :)
You might want to check out peace maker kurogane I've only just started this series and it seems like it fits your criteria. It's kinda like Rurouni Kenshin...
again u will love hunter x hunter, the chacters get very strong for there age.
yu yu hakusho probably fits what you like as well, also shaman king...but the shaman king dub is horrible
Get Full Metal Alchemist by A-keep the story is really starting to good (it was good before but better now) episode 7 was just plain creepy.
Dude, Just go to www.anime-planet.com , and stop wasting people's time.
my suggestions
peace maker kurogane

Patrick McKenzie, a flight paramedic with PHI, said the school district requested the training, sponsored by the New Mexico Heart Institute. The session was offered during the teacher in-service day, before students returned to classes on Tuesday.
RRHS nurse Julie Lords introduced the PHI trainers to teachers and other staff members who had gathered in the cafeteria. After a short presentation, they watched a video that featured Dr. Barry Ramo from KOAT-TV.
Ramo said the new CPR, which does not involve mouth-to-mouth breaths, can prevent cardiac arrests. He told listeners how to determine if someone is unconscious, call for help and administer chest compressions. The procedure, in combination with an automated external defibrillator, often saves lives before paramedics can arrive.
The AED, Ramo said, turns on when the user presses a green button. The device then talks the user through the procedure. It will administer a shock, if necessary, to restore the person's heart to normal rhythms.
Lords said the high school has four AED devices spread throughout the campus.
Ramo showed a common wall sign for AEDs and said everyone should be prepared to use them, when required, during cardiac emergencies.
The video mentioned how Marianne Evans, a teacher at Manzano High School in Albuquerque, used an AED to save the life of a student in December 2009.
After the video, staff member took turns with responsive mannequins to practice what they had learned. PHI trainers and Lords circulated to make sure participants used hard and fast compressions, which caused a clicking sound in the mannequins.
Lords said some people wonder why CPR no longer requires breathing. In 2008 the American Heart Association announced rapid and deep compressions work just as well.
Participants signed in for Monday's training but did not receive CPR cards. Lords said people can obtain certification through a training that lasts about four hours. Ramo provides in-depth CPR training for free each year, usually at University of New Mexico.
Lords said all Rio Rancho Public Schools nurses recently received the same training and will share what they learned with the staff members at their schools. She said middle school students also will participate in the program.
Most or all of the more than 200 staff members at RRHS participated in Monday's session.
Lords said the high school has never had to use an AED and couldn't recall if one had been used anywhere else in the district. Monday's training was part of a preventive effort.

Squadron, Colleagues Urge Mta Action on L Train Shutdowns
Letter to MTA Highlights Ideas To Protect North Brooklyn Small Businesses Following Meeting on Shutdowns' Impact
Electeds: Commerce Along L Depends on Weekend Visitors
BROOKLYN – Today, State Senator Daniel Squadron, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Assemblymember Joseph Lentol, and Councilmember Stephen Levin sent a letter (attached below) to the MTA urging action to mitigate the impact of weekend L train shutdowns on Williamsburg and Greenpoint small businesses.
Yesterday, Senator Squadron, his colleagues and the Northside Merchants Association hosted a meeting with over 30 North Brooklyn businesses who underscored the damaging impact of weekend L train shutdowns on their businesses and brainstormed suggestions that would protect their businesses while allowing necessary work along the line to continue.
Weekend ridership on the L train has jumped by 141 percent in recent years. Last year, Senator Squadron worked with the MTA to increase L train service, which will happen by mid-2012.
However, frequent shut-downs along the line have caused a major strain on local businesses that rely on the L to bring in customers. The L train has been out of service on key weekends for Williamsburg businesses, such as last September's Taste of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, and November's Small Business Saturday.
"Commerce along the L line depends heavily on weekend visitors - especially in Williamsburg and Greenpoint where the L is the primary subway line between Manhattan and Brooklyn," the elected officials wrote to MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota. "Small business owners face great pressure at a time when the smallest hiccup or interruption of cash flow can mean the difference between surviving or not. Combined with the dramatic growth the North Brooklyn community has seen in recent years, there is clearly a need for improved coordination on transit issues."
The MTA worked with the Northside Merchants Association and North Brooklyn community to reschedule a planned shutdown in March that would have interfered with the neightborhood's Armory Arts Week. Suggestions for additional MTA action, laid out in the letter, include:
- Scheduling work on the L train overnight on weeknights as part of the 'Fast Track' program that the MTA has implemented on other lines.
- Continuing coordination between the MTA and small businesses to ensure shutdowns are not scheduled during key weekends, such as Taste of Williamsburg or Small Business Saturday.
- Working with the EDC and East River Ferry to increase ferries, cross-honor Metrocards, and/or offer vouchers valid on the ferry during shutdown days.
- Offering buses across the Williamsburg Bridge and between Court Square, Bedford Ave, and Marcy Ave during shutdown days.
- Not shutting down the L and the 7 or the L and the G on the same days.
- Not shutting down the L over three-day weekends.
Yesterday's meeting was also sponsored by the Northside Merchants Association, District Leaders Lincoln Restler and Linda Minucci, and Community Board 1.
