<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">E-learning is the process in which people can learn certain subjects or courses through the use of computers using the internet. The internet has made the world now a global village and community. These subjects which are offered from institutes and universities can be learnt through websites that are hosting video services, and online library tools.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"> Now a person doesn't have to travel long distances to train or teach themselves. The E-learning technology and tools help educate people across the globe, despite their geographic location. The students can learn by their own pace and convenient time periods. The students who also do part time jobs can also enjoy studying online and teaching themselves. As they have to manage their time for studies and their jobs as well. The students who study in e-learning environments don't have to be attending college or university regularly, as their assignments, quizzes are held online. They are informed through online announcements which are sent through e-mail and also through the online learning management system they are using. Final papers and Midterm papers are also held online, and students have to sometimes go to special centers to appear in their exams. The students are given usernames and passwords to login there papers and they are also given similar usernames and passwords to login in their learning management systems. International students and some domestic students, who don't testing centers for examination, are provided by I.T department a special software application that allows the students to connect to the main server for examination with a username and password.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"> Students who have questions or who seek help for solving assignments are provided with teacher and student special forums, where teachers can reply to student questions and similar queries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

There exist a number of E-learning tools and technologies. Now you can learn and take classes online, by using computers, laptops, ipads, and even from mobiles or smart phones. One of the biggest e-learning environments is the virtual university of Pakistan's LMS (Learning Management System). LMS is fully virtual and every student of virtual university of Pakistan can watch lecture videos, read handouts, discuss topics with instructors, see lecture schedule online. The virtual university of Pakistan's open courseware is one of the biggest online free course lectures store where everyone can get handouts related to him. In LMS we have to enter our id and password to access the learning management system. It uses efficient and powerful algorithms and procedures to protect the website. LMS and virtual university open courseware are not just the e-learning tools but there exist many other tools and technologies. Radio is also a great source of e-learning. Virtual university of Pakistan's also provide e-learning audio lectures through radio channels. These broadcasts are free to listen. In television virtual university broadcasts 4 channels that broadcast lectures of courses. These channels are also free. Not only students but everyone can tune these channels and can watch these channels to learn. Virtual university uses various e-learning tools and technologies to provide education to learners. These tools and technologies are radio, television, internet, videos, softcopy handouts, video calls and chats etc. By using Skype students can talk to instructors to discuss issues of related subject. It doesn't matter where they live. They can talk from anywhere in the world. Virtual university also provides lecture CD's not only to its students but anyone who wants to learn. These CD's are of very low price and one can order them virtually through internet. Virtual university hosts its video lecture free of cost on YouTube. Anyone having access to internet can watch these lectures and can download them for offline viewing. Students and any other person around the world can order CD's, DVD's and handouts from the online bookshop of Virtual University of Pakistan at very reasonable prices. Now we don't have to walk to bookshops to buy books and CD's. Handouts are also available free of cost at Virtual University of Pakistan's Open Courseware website. By using radio, one can listen to lectures of any course. The schedule of these broadcasts is available at the LMS website. So e-learning has opened new ways of getting education. It seems that in future there will be no classes but virtual classes. Student attends these classes by sitting at home. E-learning technologies and tools made it easy for everyone to get education from anywhere.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 31px;">Problem statement<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>LMS (Learning Management System Model)<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I choose the LMS as problem statement to discuss it. LMS of virtual university of Pakistan is a web application that allows students to get education virtually. As every technology has some disadvantages, e-learning also suffered from some disadvantages. Take the example of LMS which I have discussed above. First issue that I have figured out in LMS of virtual university of Pakistan is that there is no face to face interaction between students and teachers. This is one of the biggest problems of e-learning. To interact with the teacher student has to use the e-mail. This isn't an instant answering system and takes more than a day to get a reply from instructor. Also there are no classes where students can meet their friends and discuss course related issues. Normally e-learners use forms to interact and chat with friends. The students of virtual university of Pakistan do the same to interact with other students. There should be some video conferencing system so that teachers and students can discuss course related issues with teachers and students. As everything like submitting assignments, attempting quizzes, participating in GDBs etc are all done through internet. Any issue with internet can cause student difficulty in participating and using e-learning. Internet speed is also a problem faced by e-learners. Many students of virtual university of Pakistan have low speed internet. They have a great difficulty in attempting online quizzes, submitting assignments, discussing graded discussion boards. Many students of virtual university of Pakistan have low speed internet. They have a great difficulty in attempting online quizzes, submitting assignments, discussing graded discussion boards.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 31px;">Proposed Solution:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Well there is always hope in the field of I.T. As now we have the ability to use IP phones and VoIP services. We now can use software's that support VoIP for video and voice communication. One of the most used VoIP software that is used worldwide today is Skype. So, I believe to improve the interaction and communication between students and teachers can be solved using these software's that support VoIP (like Skype). The universities that offer e-learning should also provide classrooms and an environment where students can meet at campus to discuss and share their ideas between each other. E-learning Universities should also provide students with events in which students can participate and compete with other university students as well. These events should include sports events, funfair events, concert events, programming, gaming and debating contests. There should also be trips that should be organized by Virtual University of Pakistan for its students.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 31px;">Results and discussions:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">There are plenty of solutions available for learners. These can be messengers, online libraries etc. Hence I.T is one of the most attractive ways of getting education now-a-days. So e-learning provides various advantages. It can be used to schedule classes and class work. Travel cost is reduced because we don't have to walk to colleges and universities. Student can search study material from various sources available on internet and can select material relevant to their knowledge. We can join boards and bulletins to join discussions and to ask study related questions. Students can chat and even talk with their classmates and with their teachers to discuss matters. So the result of the problem is that virtual university of Pakistan's LMS (Learning Management System) provides all tools that are necessary for e-learning and provides attractive services to students. The tools which LMS provides are chat service, email service so that students can send and receive emails from their instructors and from their classmates, file upload facility to submit their assignments and other research etc. The proposed solution Skype for easy communication between students and teachers is very powerful tool for e-learning. Through this tool we can arrange video conferences between students and teachers to convert it into a virtual class room where students can talk and ask questions with teachers and can talk to other students. Also teachers can also use video calling to judge the impression of their teaching and its effect on students. Skype also allows file sending which allows students to send files and research papers to teachers and o students. The screen sharing feature is also a powerful tool which can be used to monitor student's screens while doing papers and quizzes. This tool is commonly used for overseas papers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>BANGUI, Central African Republic: Rebels in the Central African Republic, defying mediation efforts, on Saturday seized another town in their advance on the capital, forcing an army retreat and putting them just one town away from Bangui.<span id="more-195248"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rebels, who already have control of four other regional capitals in the centre and north of the country, faced no resistance as they entered the town of Sibut around 150 kilometres (95 miles) from Bangui, a military official told AFP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The streets of Bangui were deserted on Saturday night, according to an AFP journalist, after a curfew was imposed from 7:00 pm to 5:00 am (1800 GMT to 0400 GMT).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many shops were being guarded by men armed with machetes. “The bosses fear looting so they are paying guards,” said one guard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Officials on both sides said the rebels of the so-called Seleka coalition had also repelled army soldiers trying to recapture Bambari, a former military stronghold in the landlocked country, one of the world’s poorest despite vast mineral wealth.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A military official described “extremely violent” fighting over the town, with detonations and heavy weapons fire audible to witnesses some 60 kilometres away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rebel advance on Sibut, also a base for Chadian soldiers stationed in the country, forced government forces and their allies to retreat to Damara, 75 kilometres from Bangui and the last major town on the road to the southwestern capital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The rebels entered Sibut. There was no fighting, the Central African Armed Forces (FACA) stationed there and the Chadian troops left the town last night (Friday) for Damara,” the military official told AFP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Djouma Narkoya, a Seleka leader, claimed that the army suffered “losses” in the fighting for Bambari, while the rebel side had “one killed and three injured” in the fighting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We are continuing to progress,” he added.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sibut residents arriving in Bangui said they saw around 60 Chadian and Central African army vehicles converging on Damara late Friday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the towns under the control of the rebels, who launched their offensive in early December, is the garrison town and key diamond mining hub of Biraosince.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Former colonial power France, meanwhile, boosted its military presence to 400 on Friday with the deployment of 150 paratroopers to Bangui airport, and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) announced reinforcements.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault stressed again on Friday that French troops were there only to protect French and European nationals, not fight the rebels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Regional efforts to mediate a peaceful solution in the landlocked equatorial country were at a standstill.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A day after announcing that the rebels and the government had agreed to hold unconditional peace talks and that more regional troops would head to the country, ECCAS said no dates had been set for either move.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_195249" style="width: 650px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bloc’s foreign ministers will meet again next Thursday “and that is when they will announce a date for the meeting in (the Gabonese capital) Libreville,” ECCAS’s communications director Placide Ibouanga told AFP, referring to talks between rebels and the government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The coalition of three rebel movements known as Seleka — or the “alliance” in the Sango language — says the government has not fulfilled the terms of peace pacts signed in 2007 and 2001, providing for disarmament and social reintegration for insurgents, including pay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Central African President Francois Bozize, who took power in a 2003 coup, has twice been elected into office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bozize’s appeals for help from France and from the United States to fight the rebels have fallen on deaf ears.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neighbouring Chad, which has helped Bozize with rebellions in 2010, earlier sent a contingent to the country, however.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Bangui, food prices have soared, further spiking tensions and uncertainty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I’m afraid of the rebels coming,” said vegetable vendor Euphrasie Ngotanga in the city’s huge Sambo market. “We’re not going to sell our produce if there’s no peace. And then how we will feed our children?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We don’t eat properly any more,” said another vendor, Angele Bodero, with her baskets full of condiments before her. “Cassava has become more expensive, everything costs more,” she said, referring to the country’s staple food.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A bag of cassava has risen nearly 50 percent from 13,000 CFA francs to 18,000 FCFA (19.80 to 27.40 euros, $26 to $32).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Washington: Former US president George H.W. Bush is on the mend and has been released from intensive care, a spokesman said Saturday.<span id="more-195245"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“President Bush’s condition has improved, so he has been moved today from the intensive care unit to a regular patient room at The Methodist Hospital to continue his recovery,” spokesman Jim McGrath said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Bushes thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier in the week, McGrath said Bush had taken a turn for the worse, with a “series of setbacks” sending the 88-year-old to the intensive care unit at the Houston, Texas hospital with a “stubborn fever.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bush, the oldest surviving former US president, was first admitted to the hospital on November 7 for bronchitis treatment and released on November 19. But he was readmitted four days later after his cough flared up again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doctors had hoped to have the elder statesman home for Christmas, but he was instead forced to spend the holiday in the hospital, where he was joined by his wife Barbara, son Neil and grandson Pierce.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bush, a Republican, served just a single term in the White House from 1989 to 1993, despite sending US troops to victory in Iraq in the first Gulf War and expelling Saddam Hussein’s forces from Kuwait.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The decorated World War II veteran served in a number of top government posts, including as vice president to Ronald Reagan, director of the Central Intelligence Agency and US ambassador to the United Nations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was also chief of the US Liaison Office in China at a time Washington had official ties with Beijing’s foe Taipei. This made Bush the unofficial US ambassador to Beijing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His son George W. Bush served two terms as president and also went to war with Iraq, this time sending US-led troops all the way to Baghdad to overthrow Saddam, whom he had wrongly accused of hoarding weapons of mass destruction.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>La Paz: Bolivia on Saturday nationalized electrical utilities owned by Spanish company Iberdrola, sending in police and troops to enforce another expropriation ordered by the populist leader of South America’s poorest nation.<span id="more-195241"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
President Evo Morales announced a decree targeting Iberdrola-owned utilities in the cities of La Paz and Oruro. They are called Electropaz and Elfeo, respectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In La Paz, soldiers later took control of power plants that until now were run by Iberdrola, while police seized corporate offices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the latest in a series of such seizures by the outspoken leftist who is a key member of a group of populist South American presidents led by the now-ailing Hugo Chavez of Venezuela</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back in May, Morales nationalized a subsidiary of another Spanish power group, Red Electrica Corporacion, which distributed electricity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since coming to power in January 2006 Bolivia’s first president representing the country’s indigenous majority has nationalized the country’s oil wealth and smelters, in addition to electric power companies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time, Morales said he was acting because Iberdrola charged more for electricity in rural areas than it did in cities, and service was also uneven.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We are forced to take this measure so that utility rates will be uniform” and service will be of the same quality in the country as in urban areas, the president said at a ceremony at the presidential palace.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said Iberdrola would be compensated after an evaluation of its seized assets. This will be done by a private Bolivian company and can take up to six months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Morales’ actions over the years have caused friction with Spain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spain said after the Red Electrica nationalization that it had been given assurances from Bolivia that there would be no more such expropriations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said in August that Spanish companies operating in Bolivia needed legal security for their investments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The May 2006 energy nationalization affected a dozen or so companies, including Spain’s Repsol, Petrobras of Brazil, Argentina’s PanAmerican and British Petroleum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Morales has also nationalized refineries and telecommunications companies.</div>

<strong>Peshawar: Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan's Darra Adamkhel faction has reportedly killed 21 of the 23 personnel of Levies kidnapped on Thursday (December 27, 2012).<span id="more-195236"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Frontier Region Peshawar officials have confirmed that all the militiamen were shot dead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One militiaman, who managed to escape the militants, has reached home, sources said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another official has been miraculously saved in the incident and has been shifted to the Peshawar's Lady Reading Hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We found 21 bullet riddled bodies of security personnel a short while ago in an uninhabited area,” local government official Naveed Akbar told AFP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“One was found alive but wounded and admitted to hospital while another managed to escape unhurt.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier, the political administration asked elders of the Frontier Region Peshawar to help the government to recover the personnel as it was the duty of the local people to find out the whereabouts of the militiamen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Thursday, the militants overrun and destroyed three checkposts at Hassan Khal and Jina Kor areas, killing two and kidnapping 23 militia personnel.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Moscow: Russia on Saturday acknowledged that Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad would not be persuaded to leave power, but nonetheless insisted there was still a chance of finding a political solution to the Syrian conflict.<span id="more-195233"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moscow’s caution came as forces loyal to Assad seized a district of the strategic central city of Homs after a fierce assault that a Britain-based watchdog said sparked a humanitarian crisis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest diplomatic push saw Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov meet UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi for talks that represented a final end-of-year bid to accelerate moves to halt 21 months of bloodshed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The talks came amid emerging signs that Russia was beginning to distance itself from Assad’s government and urgent efforts by Brahimi to resurrect a failed peace initiative that world powers agreed to in Geneva in June.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brahimi bluntly stated that Syria was facing a choice between “hell or the political process” while urging the world to work tirelessly to bring about a diplomatic solution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is really indispensible that the conflict finishes in 2013 and really the beginning of 2013,” Brahimi said after the 90-minute talks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lavrov said both he and Brahimi agreed there was hope for a solution as long as world powers put pressure on the warring parties to accept a mediated end to violence that has claimed more than 45,000 lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
”The confrontation is escalating. But we agree the chance for a political solution remains,” Lavrov said alongside Brahimi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moscow has been under intense pressure to urge the leadership of its last Middle East ally to accept a face-saving agreement that would see the rebels assume gradual command as the fighting reaches Damascus itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yet analysts have questioned the actual sway the Kremlin has over Assad, and Lavrov appeared to betray a hint of frustration when revealing that Assad had this week told Brahimi that he does not intend to leave.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Regarding Bashar al-Assad, he repeatedly said, both publically and in private… that he is not planning to leave, that he will remain in his post,” Lavrov said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“There is no possibility to change this position.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>‘Hell or the political process’</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brahimi painted a stark picture of Syrian neighbours Jordan and Lebanon being overrun by a million refugees should heavy fighting for the seat of power break out in Syria’s five-million-strong capital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If this fighting “develops into something uglier… (refugees) can only go to only two places — Lebanon and Jordan,” warned Brahimi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“So if the alternative is hell or the political process, we have all of us got to work ceaselessly for a political process,” Brahimi said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The magnitude of the problem that exists now and the magnitude of the problem that exists tomorrow cannot be ignored,” he added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lavrov echoed that message by warning that Syria threatened to dissolve into a failed state similar to the Horn of Africa’s Somalia — a nation overrun by militants and warlords.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Syria must have a stable political process. That is one alternative,” said Lavrov.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The other alternative is the Somalisation of Syria — and you can only imagine the consequences of that,” Russia’s top diplomat said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brahimi’s trip came amid a flurry of diplomatic activity in Moscow that this week also saw a rare visit by the Syrian deputy foreign minister as well as Egypt's top diplomat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Russia also confirmed on Thursday that it had invited the head of the opposition National Coalition — recognised by Western powers as Syria’s representatives — for the two sides’ first formal talks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The offer was widely interpreted as a bid by Moscow to cement a foothold in a post-Assad Syria — a radical shift from its earlier condemnation of those who recognised the rebel group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But National Coalition chief Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib rejected holding any meeting in Moscow. He also said the Kremlin must apologise for its past support of Assad before any meeting could be held in a third country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lavrov did little to conceal his fury at Khatib’s response.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I understand that Mr. Khatib is not very fluent in politics and maybe he could benefit by hearing our position not from the media… but directly from us,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brahimi and Lavrov revealed no details of any peace initiative that may be under discussion and instead focused on urging world powers to convince Assad and the opposition to talk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But a deal that has Assad remaining in power on an interim basis would have difficulty winning acceptance from rebels who have made major advances in recent weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Moscow meeting came as forces loyal to Assad seized a district of the central city of Homs that had been under prior rebel control.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The army launched an offensive several days ago on the neighbourhood of Deir Baalbeh with heavy bombing, and the fighting and attacks continued until the rebels withdrew,” said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.</div>

<strong>London: Manchester United preserved their seven-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday, defeating West Bromwich Albion 2-0 as the champions scraped a 4-3 win at Norwich City.<span id="more-195227"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
United manager Alex Ferguson was the centre of pre-match attention at Old Trafford for an outspoken attack on Newcastle United counterpart Alan Pardew, but his side got down to business quickly and went ahead in the ninth minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The scorer wore a blue and white shirt, however, with West Brom defender Gareth McAuley inadvertently shinning the ball into his own goal after Ashley Young drove a low cross across the face of goal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Former United goalkeeper Ben Foster tipped a Young shot onto the crossbar, but United were not able to breathe easily until substitute Robin van Persie curled a glorious shot into the top-left corner in the last minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
United have amassed 50 goals in their 20 league games to date, and Ferguson told the BBC: “We’re in a good position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We’re halfway there. We’ve a game on Tuesday away from home at Wigan and we’ve got a few players to freshen it up. We’ll look forward to the next game and try and win it.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
City lost Samir Nasri to a first-half red card at Norwich but edged an open-ended encounter thanks in no small part to Edin Dzeko, who scored twice and might have had a hat-trick.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Bosnian, who has had to become accustomed to a role on the substitutes’ bench this season, struck twice inside the opening four minutes to put City in control at Carrow Road.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Norwich hit back through a deflected Anthony Pilkington free-kick and the visitors were then dealt a blow when Nasri was sent off for aiming a head-butt at Sebastien Bassong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sergio Aguero’s deft, lobbed finish restored City’s two-goal cushion in the 50th minute and although Russell Martin headed in for Norwich, Dzeko made it 4-2 when his shot hit the post and bounced in off Norwich goalkeeper Mark Bunn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Martin scored again with 15 minutes to go, prodding in from close range after City failed to clear a corner, but Roberto Mancini’s men were able to hang on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I don’t know why (Nasri was sent off) as the linesman was there and I don’t know what he saw,” said City manager Mancini, whose side lost 1-0 at Sunderland on Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We saw the video — both players touch heads. With 10 men it was difficult. The guys played very well.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aston Villa’s recent miseries continued as they sank 3-0 at home to Wigan Athletic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Goals from Ivan Ramis, Emmerson Boyce and Arouna Kone put paid to Paul Lambert’s young team, who have now shipped 15 goals in three games after losing 8-0 to Chelsea and 4-0 to Tottenham Hotspur.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Villa would have slipped into the relegation zone had third-bottom Southampton not been denied victory in a 3-3 draw at Stoke City by a sensational 25-yard strike from Cameron Jerome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Southampton had led 3-1, and played against 10 men following the 71st-minute dismissal of Steven N’Zonzi, but second-bottom Reading did a better job of defending a lead in a 1-0 home win over West Ham United.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fulham’s dismal form continued, meanwhile, as they lost 2-1 at home to Swansea City.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the lunch-time game, Tottenham overturned a half-time deficit to win 2-1 at Sunderland, provisionally moving them into third place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spurs bossed the first half at a rain-sodden Stadium of Light, hitting the bar through Emmanuel Adebayor, but fell behind in the 40th minute when John O’Shea scored after Hugo Lloris had saved superbly from Steven Fletcher.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, a Carlos Cuellar own goal saw the visitors draw level three minutes into the second period, before man-of-the-match Aaron Lennon completed the comeback with a composed finish in the 51st minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andre Villas-Boas’ side have taken 19 points from a possible 24 and are now a point above third-place Chelsea, who have two games in hand and visit Everton on Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arsenal, who began the day in seventh place, host Newcastle United in the evening game.</div>

<a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/US-fiscal-cliff1.jpg"><img alt="As clock ticks, US lawmakers seek fiscal cliff solution" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-195225" height="427" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/US-fiscal-cliff1.jpg" title="US-fiscal-cliff" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Washington: With the clock ticking toward a New Year’s time bomb of huge tax increases and spending cuts, US lawmakers worked feverishly Saturday to keep America from tumbling off the so-called fiscal cliff.<span id="more-195224"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The stakes in the game of holiday-interrupting brinkmanship are huge. Economists agree the $500 billion in fiscal pain due to kick in as soon as the new year starts will stifle the gathering US economic recovery and send the United States back into recession, spelling bad news for the global economy as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aides to leaders of the Democrat-controlled Senate worked behind closed doors Saturday morning to fashion a deal palatable to both Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, and the Democrats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A senior Republican aide said “discussions are underway.” He added that details of any deal will not come out until leaders brief their caucuses on Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both chambers would need to pass a deal by New Year’s Eve. They thus have three days to get done what has eluded the White House and Congress for weeks, and will interrupt their year’s end vacation in the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As negotiations proceeded, President Barack Obama urged Congress to protect the middle class from higher taxes and lay the groundwork for economic growth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We’ve got to do what it takes to protect the middle class, grow this economy, and move our country forward,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Leaders in Congress are working on a way to prevent this tax hike on the middle class, and I believe we may be able to reach an agreement that can pass both houses in time,” he added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obama met with top congressional leaders Friday and said Senate Democrats and Republicans would work overtime this weekend to try to head off the fiscal cliff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The president, sensing a mandate from his re-election last month, wants to raise taxes on the rich but exempt the middle class. Republicans want only to close tax loopholes to raise revenue and demand significant spending cuts in return.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But if nothing is done by the deadline, all taxpayers will see an increase.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following the White House talks, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are leading efforts to seek a deal before Tuesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But any agreement would also have to pass the House of Representatives, where there is doubt that any deal signed off by the Democratic president would win favor with restive conservatives in the Republican caucus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to The Washington Post, the deal — a “stripped-down” version of earlier proposals dealing mainly with taxes — is within reach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Citing unnamed people briefed on the talks, the newspaper said it would protect nearly 30 million taxpayers from paying the higher, alternative minimum tax rate for the first time and maintain unemployment benefits for two million people due to lose them, barring a deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The plan also would halt a steep cut in Medicare reimbursements for doctors and preserve popular tax breaks for both businesses and individuals, such as those for research and college tuition, the report said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But The Post said the two sides were still at odds over where to set the limits of wealthy — at $250,000 a year or $400,000 a year — and over taxes on inherited estates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nor was there agreement on spending cuts so dear to Republicans, the paper said. Hence, a deal will not include either them or an agreement to raise the debt ceiling, setting up another fierce battle over the government’s borrowing limit in the next two months, according to The Post.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obama warned, however, that if an agreement was not reached in time, he would then ask the Senate to hold an up-or-down vote on a basic package that protects the middle class from an income tax hike, extends vital unemployment insurance for Americans looking for a job, and, as he put it, “lays the groundwork for future progress on more economic growth and deficit reduction.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He did not elaborate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I believe such a proposal could pass both houses with bipartisan majorities – as long as these leaders allow it to come to a vote,” the president said. “If they still want to vote no, and let this tax hike hit the middle class, that’s their prerogative — but they should let everyone vote.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, in a weekly Republican address, US Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, vice chairman of the Senate’s Republican Conference, expressed some optimism Saturday, saying he believed that “going over the fiscal cliff is avoidable.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But he severely criticized the Democrats’ plan to focus mainly on taxes while setting aside the issue of government spending, arguing that inaction on spending “shouldn’t be an option.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The president’s proposal to raise taxes on the top two percent of Americans won’t even pay one-third of the annual interest that’s now owed on this massive $16 trillion debt,” Blunt said. “In fact, the president’s tax hike would only fund the government for eight days. Americans deserve to know: What does the president propose we do for the other 357 days of the year?”</div>

<a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Chris-Brown.jpg"><img alt="Kora Awards 2012: 'African Grammys' delayed as Chris Brown misses flight" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-195219" height="438" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Chris-Brown.jpg" title="Chris-Brown" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Abidjan: The Kora Awards, dubbed “Africa’s Grammys”, will take place Sunday in Abidjan, organisers said, after confusion about when the event would happen and when its star — US rapper Chris Brown — would arrive in Ivory Coast.<span id="more-195218"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Everything will take place Sunday,” Kora spokesman Ernest Adjovi said late Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The award extravaganza, which originated in South Africa in 1994, was originally to have been held Saturday in Ivory Coast’s economic capital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the last minute, organisers claimed Brown had missed his flight and the show would be delayed until Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But a source close to the ceremony said Brown “is not the real reason” the event was delayed, and blamed the postponement on organisational issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Past ceremonies have been attended by South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela and the late “King of Pop” Michael Jackson.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brown is known as much for his virtuoso dance steps as for his tumultuous relationship with singer Rihanna, whom he has admitted assaulting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He will arrive early Sunday on a private jet and, ahead of the award show, will perform at concert “for peace in Africa” at Abidjan’s main sport stadium on Sunday, Adjovi said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
African artists including the Nigerian duo P-Square, winner of the last top Kora prize in Ouagadougou in 2010, will also take part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Ivory Coast, which is still recovering from four months of post-election violence that ended in April 2011 after claiming some 3,000 lives, the event signals a return to normalcy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, it has drawn criticism over the price of admission: one million CFA francs (1,500 euros, $2,000) for those who want a seat in the luxury hotel for the ceremony, or 50,000 CFA francs (75 euros, $100) for seats outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These prices are far out of reach for most people in the poor west African country, the world’s top cocoa producer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brown was sentenced to five years probation, a year-long domestic violence programme and 180 days of community labour after pleading guilty to assaulting Barbadian singer Rihanna on the eve of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in 2009.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Abu Dhabi: Novak Djokovic got his season off to a perfect start by defeating Nicolas Almagro 6-7 (4/7), 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday in the final of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship exhibition tournament.<span id="more-195215"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Djokovic had looked in impressive early season form in Friday’s semi-finals, destroying world No.5 David Ferrer in straight sets, while Almagro, a late replacement for the injured Rafael Nadal, was taken all the way by Janko Tipsarevic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it was the Spaniard who edged a close first set 7/4 on a tiebreaker, with Djokovic, the winner last year, looking listless at times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The world No.1 put that setback quickly behind him as he broke Almagro to start the second set, but he failed to turn that into a 2-0 lead as Almagro broke back to level in the next game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A double-fault from the Spaniard though saw the Serb take back the advantage and this time he held firm to level the set scores.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The decider went with serve until the 10th game when Almagro served up three straight unforced errors to hand Djokovic the win.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It was a fantastic experience again for me coming to Abu Dhabi. This is a very nice tournament, you always get great matches, very tough matches against top opponents, and great attendance also,” said world number one Djokovic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Almagro added: “I have had a lot of fun and I have to thank the organisers for calling me in the last minute because it is amazing to be here.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The match for third place played earlier was won by Spain’s Ferrer as he defeated Tipsarevic of Serbia 7-6 (7/4), 6-2.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All four players will head out for Australia to complete their preparations for the Australian Open which gets under way in Melbourne on January 14 where Djokovic will be the defending champion.</div>

When the human body dies, we all know where it may end up – in an urn, a cemetery, or the bottom of the ocean, to name a few – but what about our material possessions? Do we <em>really</em> know where our things end up after they've ran their course? Don't be so quick to assume that everything we discard is whisked away to the junkyard, the landfill, or the recycling center. Some objects are fortunate enough to be brought to a designated graveyard, where they can be discovered and cherished for many years to come.<br />
Before you chuck your toothbrush, consider the fact that maybe there's a place for you to respectfully lay it to rest. The same goes for other objects like neon signs, phone booths, and toilets. The world is filled with fascinating graveyards for abandoned things. Let's take a look at 7 of them.<br />
<h3>
<strong>The Yellow Taxi Graveyard (Chongqing, China)</strong></h3>
Decades ago in China, consumer goods such as personal vehicles and T.V.s were reserved for only wealthy folks. The common man had no choice but to hail a taxi every time he needed to go somewhere. Because of that, China was overridden with yellow taxis. In 1978, the Chinese economy started growing and, thirty four years later, it's still going strong. Personal vehicles become more and more accessible to the Chinese middle class, and the yellow taxis eventually become obsolete. The government had to put them somewhere, so they created this yellow taxi graveyard.<br />
<h3>
<strong>The Island of Abandoned Dolls (Mexico City, Mexico)</strong></h3>
This island, located in the middle of an ancient lake, is chock full of abandoned dolls hung from trees, tied to fences, and scattered across the ground. The story behind this is very strange. In the 1950s, an eccentric man named Don Julian Santana left his family and lived like a hermit on this island. One day, he found a little girl's body floating in the water, so he started collecting thousands of discarded dolls because he thought they would keep the little girl's spirit company on the lonely island. Don Julian spent the last 50 years of his life collecting dolls and decorating the island with them until his death in 2001. Visitors have reported hearing the dolls whispering as they passed them.<br />
<h3>
<strong>The Neon Boneyard (Las Vegas, Nevada)</strong></h3>
Want to know what Vegas was like 30 years ago? This neon boneyard can show you. Located north of Old Vegas, the six-acre boneyard features old neon signs from iconic old casinos and other businesses. It's owned by the Neon Museum, an independent non-profit. Here, you'll discover some of the signs that were shown in old Hollywood movies like <em>Mars Attacks</em>, <em>National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation</em>, and <em>Honey, I Blew Up the Kid</em>.<br />
<h3>
<strong>Cemiterio das Ancoras (Tavira Island, Portugal)</strong></h3>
Every anchor has its own story. This anchor graveyard on Portugal's Tavira Island has several hundred rusted anchors lined up among the dunes. Each anchor used to belong to a fisherman who lost his livelihood when the tuna population dwindled and eventually abandoned the coasts. Since Tavira Island thrived on the tuna fishing industry, its economy was hit pretty hard when the tuna supply dried up. The fishermen had to find a new field of work. This anchor graveyard serves as a memorial for the island's former tuna fishing industry.<br />
<h3>
<strong>The Toothbrush Fence (Te Pahu, New Zealand)</strong></h3>
Located on a quiet rural road, this toothbrush fence boasts hundreds of used toothbrushes sent in from all over the world. This all began when a local man named Laird McGillicuddy Graeme Cairns started hanging up his own collection of used toothbrushes. Soon enough, people began adding their own toothbrushes to the fence. Even famous people like New Zealand's Prime Minister Helen Clark and Academy Award-winning musician Bret McKenzie added their toothbrushes to the collection. If you can't make it to New Zealand, you can mail in your toothbrush! The address is: The Toothbrush Bucket / 294 Limeworks Loop Road, / Te Pahu, R D 5 / Hamilton / New Zealand<br />
<h3>
<strong>The Toilet Waterfall (Guangdong, China)</strong></h3>
After having served people for years, ten thousand used toilets went on to become part of a giant waterfall. Designed by famous Chinese artist Shu Yong, the waterfall is 328 feet long and 16.4 feet tall. While the toilets have a new purpose, the waterfall is still a collection of old and abandoned toilets, each of which has its own history.<br />
<h3>
<strong>The Phone Booth Graveyard (Newark-on-Trent, UK)</strong></h3>
This unusual graveyard lies in an abandoned industrial estate. Scattered across it are red phone booths from various time periods. Some are 85-year-old kiosks, and some are modern state-of-the-art models. When one of Britain's red phone boxes gets damaged and cannot be repaired, it ends up here. Red phone booths are becoming popular, so people from all over the world are lining up to buy one from this graveyard. Be sure to check it out before the entire graveyard clears up!<br />

- The FEMA trailer graveyard in Purvis, Mississippi<br />
- The bicycle graveyard in Tokyo, Japan<br />
- The train graveyard in Uyuni, Bolivia<br />
- The airplane graveyard in Tucson, Arizona<br />

Unfortunately, despite the fact that our nation is still in shock and mourning, some businesses have outraged consumers by shamelessly, or more often unintentionally, seizing the opportunity to exploit the tragedy to make more sales.<img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/socialmediatoday_allposts/~4/LEnNmcNWLlc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" width="1" /></div>

<a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Heather-Aaron-Whaley.jpg"><img alt="US-Russia spat puts adoption couple, Heather and Aaron Whaley, in limbo" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-194998" height="480" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Heather-Aaron-Whaley.jpg" title="Heather,-Aaron-Whaley" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Washington: Heather and Aaron Whaley just wanted to start a family with a four-year-old Russian girl nicknamed Addie who they found on the Internet but have yet to see in person.<span id="more-194997"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Never did they expect to find themselves caught up in a souring of relations between Moscow and Washington over human rights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Whaleys are among several US couples whose pending adoptions of Russian children are in limbo after President Vladimir Putin signed legislation barring Americans from adopting Russian youngsters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We’re both very worried and stressed right now,” Heather Whaley told AFP on Friday as she and her husband drove back to their Frederick, Maryland home after a Christmas holiday in her native Alabama.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“President Putin originally said he would allow families which are ‘in process’ to complete their adoptions within the next year,” she said. “I don’t know if he’ll hold to that… but we’re hopeful.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Putin signed the adoption ban earlier Friday, 46 Russian children had been cleared by Russian courts for adoption by American families, said Megan Lindsey of the National Council for Adoption, an advocacy group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Around 1,500 other applications were at some stage of being processed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Whaleys, devout Christians who say God blessed them “with a heart for children,” discovered Addie — the girl’s Russian given name is Regina — last February on a website featuring Russian kids available for adoption.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Someone else had applied to take her but dropped out after learning that Addie — like many unwanted Russian children — had special needs, something that did not at all deter the Whaleys.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“She’s very, very tiny for her age — she’s only 24 pounds (11 kilograms), which is about the size of an 18-month-old,” said Heather Whaley, who has two adopted sisters and works part-time with youngsters with special needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We also know that she is developmentally delayed” and unable to speak at a level on a par with children her age, she added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Whaleys started the paperwork with World Links International, an adoption agency in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and launched a blog (www.bringaddiehome.com) to chronicle their journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They also drained their life savings, and reached out to family and friends, to help cover the estimated $65,000 in adoption fees and travel expenses to bring Addie to America.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We had felt that was going to be our biggest worry, just raising a huge amount of money,” Whaley said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They had been planning to travel to Vladivostok, in Russia’s far east, in early 2013 to actually see Addie in the flesh on the first of three visits that would-be adoptive parents are required by Russian law to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Russia is one of the hardest countries to adopt from. Their regulations and red tape are excruciating,” said Whaley, who has decorated her home with pictures of the smiling child.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the meantime, the Whaleys’ home has been inspected by adoption officials, and a pediatrician at Johns Hopkins University has gone over Addie’s medical file with a fine-tooth comb.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tatiana Suslin, chief executive of World Links International, said her agency has 16 families whose applications to adopt Russian children are currently in a bureaucratic pipeline that typically takes a year to clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“They are just struggling,” she told AFP. “They are so upset. What can you tell them?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two of those families won Russian court approval of their adoption applications on December 7, but even they are not 100 percent sure their children will be free to depart Russia as planned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Those children, they are hostages of a political situation,” Suslin said.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Washington: President Barack Obama and top lawmakers Friday searched for a deal to stop the US economy tumbling off a “fiscal cliff” next week in a crisis that could cause a new recession and rock global markets.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obama was to make a statement on the crunch talks at the White House at 2245 GMT, after a sense of crisis built throughout the day over a $500 billion time bomb of tax hikes and spending cuts due to detonate on Tuesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wall Street picked up pessimistic signs, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 158.20 points or 1.21 percent, as Washington’s perennial dysfunction and gridlock threatened to deal a massive self inflicted wound to the economy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The president met Republicans House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and top Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, in the Oval Office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An aide to Boehner said the talks focused on “potential options and components for a plan that could pass both chambers of Congress” and told Obama that the Senate must go first, before the House acts.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_194992" style="width: 650px;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reid told reporters he hoped the meeting “bears fruit” but there were few concrete details of the talks ahead of Obama’s statement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If no deal is reached by January 1, all Americans will face a tax hike and massive and automatic budget cuts will come into force which budget experts say could trigger a new US recession and cause a spike in unemployment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The president is banking on a stopgap solution he suggested a week ago that would see taxes on American families earning more than $250,000 go up but would spare the middle class.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obama did not make a new offer to Republicans during the talks, a source familiar with the meeting said, adding that the president also asked for an extension of expiring unemployment insurance for two million people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He told Republicans that if they cannot come up with a counter-proposal to avert the fiscal cliff they must allow his plan to come up for a vote in both chambers of Congress, the source said.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_194991" style="width: 650px;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Such a scenario would leave Republicans in a tough political spot as if they refuse, it would be easy for the White House to blame them for the economy toppling over the cliff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is not clear whether the Obama plan would avert the massive spending cuts due to come into force on January 1 or deal with his separate request to raise the $16 trillion ceiling on government borrowing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Republicans want to extend George W. Bush-era tax cuts due to expire on Tuesday for everyone and accuse the president of failing to offer meaningful spending cuts in a bargain in return for them agreeing to raise revenues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some top lawmakers clung to hope.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Sometimes, it’s darkest before the dawn,” said Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer on NBC, saying McConnell’s role could be a catalyst for action.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Republican Senator Bob Corker complained Obama and Democrats in Congress had balked at cutting spending on key social programs weighing on the budget, and inflating the deficit, accusing them of a “total dereliction of duty.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We’re going to end up with a small, kick-the-can-down-the-road bill that creates another fiscal cliff to deal with this fiscal cliff. How irresponsible is that?” Corker told reporters.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_194990" style="width: 650px;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Retiring Democratic Senator Ben Nelson warned: “If this meeting is not successful in achieving a proposal, I think you need to get a parachute.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obama broke off his vacation in Hawaii in search of a last-minute deal and Boehner called the House back to work on Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The president’s scaled-down solution calls for an extension of tax cuts for people earning less than $250,000, and an extension of unemployment benefits before a wider effort to trim the deficit next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it is doubtful the package could pass the House as restive conservatives last week rebuked Boehner by rejecting his fallback plan that would have raised taxes on people earning $1 million.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While each side must for the sake of appearances be seen to be seeking a deal, the easiest way out of the mess might be to allow the economy to go over the cliff, but to fix the problem in the first few days of next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In that scenario, Republicans, who are philosophically opposed to raising taxes, could back a bill to lower the newly raised rates on almost all Americans, thus sidestepping the stigma of raising taxes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recent polls show a majority of Americans back Obama’s handling of the crisis, and would blame Republicans for a failure to fix it, so the president could get a short-term political boost from an early deal next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Should the stalemate linger however, the crisis would cloud the early months of Obama’s second term, would dent his popularity and could detract from his key political goals like immigration reform and gun control.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to audience tracker AppData.com, over the past week the number of daily Instagram users fell by 3.5 million to an average of 12.4 million users per day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Facebook shares sank about 2.5 percent lower in early trade, before rebounding to $25.71 in the early afternoon, off 1.2 percent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier this month, Instagram backed off planned policy changes that appeared to clear the way for the mobile photo sharing service to sell pictures without compensation, amid protests from users.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Changes to the privacy policy and terms of service had included wording that appeared to allow people’s pictures to be used by advertisers at Instagram or Facebook worldwide, royalty-free.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Twitter and Instagram forums buzzed over the phrasing, as users debated whether to delete their accounts before the new rules kicked in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Facebook acquired Instagram earlier this year. The original price was pegged at $1 billion but the final value was less because of a decline in the social network’s share price.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Greece’s former finance minister George Papaconstantinou, who helped draw up the debt-ridden nation’s first austerity drive, was swiftly booted from his socialist Pasok party after the alleged discrepancies came to light.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement announcing his ejection, Pasok said there were “clear indications” that names of family members had been deleted from the list.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Greek prosecutors are investigating some 2,000 holders of HSBC bank accounts in Switzerland for suspected tax evasion, according to media reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Papaconstantinou “categorically” denied having altered the list, which had been given to him personally by France’s then finance minister Christine Lagarde in 2010, the current head of the International Monetary Fund.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Media have dubbed the case the “Lagarde list”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Greek prosecutors provoked an outcry by going after a journalist who had printed names supposedly on the list.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The list was originally leaked by an HSBC employee before being passed to Greece by Lagarde.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Authorities have claimed the list was illegally obtained and hence could not be used in the battle against tax evasion, a chronic problem in the heavily indebted and recession-hit country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But mounting anger against a new round of austerity cuts, imposed by Greece’s international creditors, put pressure on the government to seek the list.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Officials maintained that the original Lagarde list had gone missing, prompting Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras to ask France to re-send it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Papaconstantinou also denied knowing which family members had appeared on the list.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Barcelona: Brazil star Neymar is to stay with Santos in his homeland until at least after the 2014 World Cup, according to his father Neymar da Silva.<span id="more-194969"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neymar senior said his son did want to play in Europe to further his career development but told Friday’s Barcelona-based Sport daily: “This is what he wants (but) he will do it in 2014.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He added that was why his son’s Santos contract had been shortened from 2015 to 2014 to allow him to showcase his talents through to the World Cup on home soil as a home-grown star.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even so, his father warned that “if Neymar is not happy” or Santos found that it would be better to sell him on financial grounds then that could conceivably be an option.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Were that to transpire then the 20-year-old forward is set to head off to Spain’s La Liga with Barcelona.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Barca, of course. Barcelona’s football is similar to that of Neymar, isn’t that so?” said Neymar senior.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even so, while admitting to early contacts with the Catalan club, he conceded that “it could be Barca will not want him in 2014.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Barca’s Brazilian connections stretching back across the decades could play a part in Neymar’s future destination as “Neymar has his idols and it is normal that he would want to triumph where Romario or Ronaldo (played)”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brazil are hoping the country’s growing emergence as a world power could allow Neymar to feel he can stay at home for now at least rather than follow the well-trodden path to Europe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Neymar has broken the mould of Brazilian footballers who left to pursue the best financial offer without taking their own personal situation into account,” said Neymar da Silva.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neymar has already turned down one chance of a move to Europe — rejecting a 36 million euros move to Chelsea two seasons ago and his father said his son was only thinking about his development as a player.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sport on Thursday quoted the player as saying he would see out his contract until 2014, insisting he is happy with Pele’s old club Santos, and only then think about whether a move to Europe would be in his interests.</div>

<strong>Washington: Rating agency Standard and Poor’s said Friday it does not expect the negotiations over the fiscal cliff to spark another downgrade of the United States, nor improve the country’s rating.<span id="more-194965"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The agency said it had already accounted for the political stalemate over reducing the deficit when it cut the country’s rating from the top-level AAA to AA+ for the first time in history in August 2011, and labeled it with a “negative” outlook.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At that time, S&P cited “the political brinkmanship of recent months (that) highlights what we see as America’s governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We believe that this characterization still holds,” it said in a statement Friday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The announcement came as President Barack Obama hosted a high-level meeting in the White House in a last-ditch effort to keep the United States from going over the so-called fiscal cliff — a mix of steep spending cuts and tax hikes set to kick in next month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Going into the Friday afternoon talks, neither the White House nor Republicans showed any sign of shifting from their entrenched positions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
S&P maintained its negative outlook on the US rating, saying that any deal cobbled together in last-minute negotiations to avoid the cliff would neither improve nor immediately worsen Washington’s medium term debt outlook.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The absence of any agreement, it said, would in fact improve the government’s fiscal position but also likely send the country back into recession.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover, it said, such a deal would amount to “fiscal consolidation enacted by default” and “centered on short-term measures,” rather than a long-term bipartisan deal to reduce the deficit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It would likely be “insufficient to place the US medium-term public finances on a sustainable footing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, it added, any likely last-minute deal would “be vulnerable to reversal, especially in the first few weeks of the new year.”</div>

<strong>Singapore: An Indian gang-rape victim died Saturday, the hospital treating her in Singapore said, after suffering severe organ failure in an attack that has sparked widespread street protests.<span id="more-194959"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Authorities in India have been preparing for the possibility her death could ignite more protests amid simmering anger at the level of violence against women.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4.45 am (2045 GMT Friday) on 29 Dec 2012,” Kelvin Loh, the chief executive of Mount Elizabeth Hospital, said in a statement.</div>

“Her family and officials from the High Commission of India were by her side. The Mount Elizabeth Hospital team of doctors, nurses and staff join her family in mourning her loss.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 23-year-old, who has not been named, was attacked by six men on a bus in New Delhi on December 16 and beaten with an iron bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She had been in a critical condition since arriving at the hospital on Thursday after she was airlifted from India.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Despite all efforts by a team of eight specialists in Mount Elizabeth Hospital to keep her stable, her condition continued to deteriorate over these two days,” Loh said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We are humbled by the privilege of being tasked to care for her in her final struggle.”</div>

<strong>Dubai: Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who underwent surgery on December 20 for a recurrence of a cancerous tumour, can envisage a return to work in “15 to 20 days,” club chairman Sandro Rosell said Friday.<span id="more-194956"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I think he will return to work in 15 to 20 days,” Rosell said on the sidelines of the Dubai International Sports Conference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He will be obliged to have occasional check-ups but the doctor has assured (me) that will not preclude him from taking charge of the team,” Rosell added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vilanova, 44, left hospital on December 22, barely 48 hours after his surgery to remove a tumour from a salivary gland. He had similar surgery a year ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He now faces some six weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vilanova has led Barca to the best league start in their history – the Catalan club lead the table by nine points with 16 wins and a draw to date.</div>

So, an ingenious new nonprofit effort called StrikeDebt was created by a team of attorneys and as an offshoot of the Occupy Movement. Their latest effort was built to keep debt out of the hands of collectors by using donations to buy it instead, and then abolish it. This campaign, called the "Rolling Jubilee" is described as "a bailout of the 99% by the 99%."<img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/socialmediatoday_allposts/~4/VJyNX6R5N6s?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" width="1" /></div>

Early results of a study from Stanford Graduate School of Business's Center for Leadership Development and Research—Social Media Use Among Directors and Senior Managers—show that only 34.2% of directors and executive management have even a modest understanding of the impact social and digital media have on their companies. Only 21.7% rated their own grasp of the issues around social media as "good." Fewer than 15% of boards of directors see reports summarizing information gleaned from social media monitoring and metrics. The prevailing view: Social media is beneath them and should be confined to marketing and PR.<img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/socialmediatoday_allposts/~4/ImOC2MfFKfc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" width="1" /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Chicago: Former US president George HW Bush has taken a turn for the a worse and is in intensive care after a “stubborn fever” delayed his recovery from bronchitis, a spokesman said Wednesday.<span id="more-194274"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He’s had a series of setbacks now that have landed him in guarded condition in the intensive care unit,” spokesman Jim McGrath told AFP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 88-year-old was first admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston on November 7 for bronchitis treatment and released on November 19. But he was readmitted on November 23 after his cough flared up again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doctors had initially hoped to have the elder statesman home for Christmas, but he was instead forced to spend the holiday in hospital, where he was joined by his wife Barbara, son Neil and grandson Pierce.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I wouldn’t say he was able to celebrate it in the traditional sense,” McGrath said. “His family was with him, and he’s conscious and he’s able to engage in humorous banter with his doctor.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bush, a Republican, was in the White House from 1989 to 1993 and sent US forces into Iraq in the first Gulf war after Saddam Hussein’s forces invaded Kuwait.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During his time in public service, he also served as vice president, congressman and director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He is the father of former president George W. Bush.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Washington: The United States government will reach its statutory 16.39-trillion-dollar debt limit — a ceiling imposed by Congress — on Monday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said.<span id="more-194271"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a letter Wednesday to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Geithner said the treasury would take “extraordinary measures” to postpone the day the US could default on its liabilities, but could not say how long it had.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Geithner warned that if the White House and US lawmakers fail to agree on a budget compromise to prevent the economy plunging over the “fiscal cliff”, also due on December 31, then he could not be sure when the money would dry up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the extraordinary measures — halting the issuance of some state and local government bonds — could create approximately $200 billion in headroom that under normal circumstances would last about two months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But he added: “However, given the significant uncertainty that now exists with regard to unresolved tax and spending policies for 2013, it is not possible to predict the effective duration of these measures.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As of midday (1700 GMT) Saturday, the United States will “begin taking certain extraordinary measures authorized by law to temporarily postpone the date the United States would otherwise default on its legal obligations.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Geithner’s letter came as the White House and Republican lawmakers were locked in an impasse about the “fiscal cliff,” a package of steep tax hikes and spending cuts that are due to take effect in January.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Experts say a failure to strike a compromise on the matter by New Years Eve could plunge the world’s biggest economy into recession, and wrangling over the debt ceiling will only increase the political and economic uncertainty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Already in July of this year, Washington went through a vicious political battle over raising the debt ceiling. In the end, the fight culminated in the poison pill compromise that has become the fiscal cliff trajectory.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>London: Jonathan Walters scored twice as Stoke beat Liverpool 3-1 in an entertaining affair under the lights at the Britannia Stadium on Wednesday.<span id="more-194268"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steven Gerrard put Liverpool into an early lead from the spot but Walters replied almost immediately before Kenwyne Jones headed the hosts in front.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the break Walters made it 3-1 with a superb finish and despite some late pressure, Stoke held on for a more-than deserved win.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Luis Suarez was booed when the announcer read out his name as the home faithful did not forget the dive that the Uruguayan pulled off at Anfield in the October meeting between these two.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While Suarez did not get anything for that then, Stoke manager Tony Pulis was livid he was not punished but it was hard to argue against Howard Webb’s decision to hand Liverpool a penalty in the second minute of this clash.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ryan Shawcross tugged Suarez’s shirt in the area and the Reds striker went down before Gerrard calmly slotted home the penalty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, just three minutes later Shawcross helped Stoke grabbed what many will say is a trademark goal as he launched a long ball forward that Jones nodded on to Walters and the Republic of Ireland international raced through before firing home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last two times these sides met in the Premier League, the games ended goalless so it would not have been pessimistic to believe before this it could be dull again but that was proved wrong as Jones made it three goals in 12 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Stoke striker rose to head home Glenn Whelan’s corner and send the home fans wild before Matthew Etherington made Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina pull off a stunning save after 21 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The midfielder fired high but the Spaniard stretched to tip the ball over after a neat cutback by Steven Nzonzi to set up the chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Liverpool came into this game on the back of a 4-0 demolition of Fulham at the weekend that proved they were still in with a chance of a top-four place, but they knew away at Stoke would be a much sterner test.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Especially since they have not won on the four visits to the ground in Premier League history but Gerrard had a chance to level the game up moments later but he hit a tame effort wide with Asmir Begovic, the Stoke goalkeeper, seemingly beaten.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raheem Sterling came on for Suso at the break and the winger almost made an instant impact with a cross for Suarez but the Uruguayan fluffed his effort well wide.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andy Wilkinson’s long throw in the 49th minute made it 3-1 as he found Jones who nodded on again for Walters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time he rose to chest the ball and turn before volleying past Reina who could not keep it out despite getting his fingertips to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Stoke fans sang “3-1 to the rugby team” as Liverpool pressed forward desperately trying to get back into the game with Suarez getting booked for a high challenge on Begovic on the hour mark.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suarez did have the ball in the net soon after but it was ruled out as Jordan Henderson handled in the build up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gerrard tested Begovic late on for the visitors but Stoke held on to the three points.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Karachi: Mobile banking accounts have jumped to 1.8 million mark depicting a remarkable growth of 25 percent during July-September quarter of 2012, according to Branchless Banking Newsletter released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on December 26. Branchless Banking (BB) customers conducted almost 31.5 million transactions worth Rs. 139 billion during the quarter. The average size of each transaction was Rs 4,420, while the average number of transaction per day increased to 0.349 million.<span id="more-194264"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The accounts' activity level has also improved considerably during the quarter at the back of significant growth of 84% in Level '0' accounts and 7% growth in Level '1' accounts. These accounts are opened at the agents' location largely by those who have traditionally been excluded from the banking services.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The agents' network has reached to 31,637 as of 30th September, 2012 from 29,525 as on 30th June, 2012 registering an increase of 7 percent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It may be pointed out that transaction limits for Level '0' & Level '1' accounts are Rs 15,000 & Rs. 25,000 per day respectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bills payments & mobile top-ups remained the dominating activity during July-September 2012 quarter with 45 percent share in total numbers, followed by person to person (over the counter) fund transfers with a share of 38 percent. Bulk payments mostly by agents topped, among others, by 41 percent share in total value transacted during the quarter followed by person to person fund transfers with a share of 34 percent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It may be pointed out that the BB service providers are trying to increase their linkages with microfinance institutions as loan repayments of Rs.646 million were collected through Branchless Banking agents during the quarter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the Newsletter, the growth expectation in coming quarters is fairly high as the existing two Branchless Banking players are increasing their scale of operations and two banks namely Waseela Microfinance Bank and Askari Bank Limited have launched their branchless banking services under the brand names of 'Mobicash' and 'Timepey' respectively.</div>

<strong>Islamabad: The vice chancellors of universities from Commonwealth countries appreciate the Quality Assurance QA reforms and ranking model developed by Higher Education Commission HEC Pakistan in a recent meeting of the conference of All Commonwealth Universities (ACU).<span id="more-194257"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The meeting of ACU was held here at Jamaica where presence of Higher Education Commission Pakistan to represent the higher education sector of the country was noticed significantly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The presentation on QA system implemented in Pakistan and ranking model was made on the first day of the conference one in the plenary session after key note speech along with Phil Baty and Kris, leading higher education experts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The participants and speakers of the next sessions till end of the conference kept on appreciating the methodology, approach and strategy of HEC to make rankings an internal part of the entire QA system and treating these as one of the External Quality Assurance strategies aiming at improved quality of the higher education with indigenous model equally compatible with international practices and matching with the national context.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Almost all of the delegates of developing countries in general and from South Asia and Caribbean region in particular had shown great interest to adopt the QA and the ranking model developed by HEC for Pakistan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally based on overwhelming interest of the participants from all commonwealth countries and referencing by majority of the speakers, the ACU secretariat requested HEC to provide the copy of Pakistani QA system and Ranking model to be shared with all the commonwealth countries as one the best practices. The group of vice chancellors from Sri Lanka is already doing a consistent follow up to work with HEC further in January 2013 to adopt the similar model of ranking and QA in their country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is matter of pride for Pakistan that the progress made in higher education sector is being recognized as one of the rising stars in the Caribbean region and amongst all commonwealth countries as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is worth mentioning that HEC has shared and led the similar model development for Islamic World and would now facilitate rest of the developing regions as they intend to follow HEC model. Finally, HEC has succeeded in getting its own Quality Assurance Model label/ brand that is being recognized globally. The education experts term this global recognition as outcome of continuous reforms introduced by HEC during last decade aiming at improving quality of higher education and hoped that this journey of success would continue in future as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since its inception, HEC has undertaken a number of practical steps towards improvement of quality of higher education and bringing Pakistani higher education sector at par with international standards.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These steps include: introducing university ranking, establishing 84 quality enhancement cells at all the public sector universities of Pakistan, developing standardized criteria for appointment/promotions of faculty members, standardizing M.Phil and PhD programs & subject classification list, notifying criteria for recognition of journals & PhD supervisors and establishment of Quality Assurance Agency etc.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Tokyo: Japan’s newly-elected prime minister Shinzo Abe pledged to rebuild the economy and mend Japan’s alliance with the United States in the face of an assertive China at his first press conference on Wednesday.<span id="more-194247"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abe was elected premier by the lower house of parliament earlier in the day after sweeping to power on a hawkish platform of getting tough on diplomatic issues while fixing the economy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“A strong economy is the source of Japan’s national strength. Without a strong economy, Japan will not achieve fiscal reconstruction and have a future,” Abe told the late-night press conference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier Wednesday, the yen had tumbled against the dollar on growing speculation that the Bank of Japan will usher in further easing measures — a key plank of Abe’s campaign.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abe vowed to defend Japanese territory and waters but stressed that his government will carry out a diplomacy drive to “win back” national interests.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“There are many issues concerning Japan-China relations, Japan-South Korea relations and Japan-US relations — which is the foundation of Japan’s diplomacy,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“More than anything, we must re-establish trust in the Japan-US alliance,” he said, adding that he has spoken to US President Barack Obama and agreed to foster long-term relations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ties with the US were strained under the previous government, which pushed for the relocation of American bases in Okinawa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abe also said that his cabinet would stay focused on the reconstruction of the northern region that was devastated by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear crisis in 2011.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“By delivering results as soon as possible, I would like to earn the trust of the Japanese people and make this a stable government,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abe achieved a resounding election victory earlier this month for his Liberal Democratic Party over the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Wednesday he secured 328 votes to 57 for the DPJ’s new leader Banri Kaieda, the industry minister during last year’s Fukushima nuclear crisis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Within hours of his election, Abe, who was prime minister from 2006 to 2007, unveiled his new cabinet as he rushed to draft an extra budget.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Taro Aso, another former prime minister in Japan’s revolving-door political system, was appointed as both Abe’s deputy and finance minister.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The foreign minister job went to Fumio Kishida, who was a state minister in charge of Okinawan affairs during Abe’s previous tenure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His appointment was seen as a reflection of Abe’s desire for progress on the relocation of US military bases in the southern island chain, and comes as Japan is embroiled in a territorial row with China.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At a news conference, Kishida stressed its claim of the disputed islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, while calling for a dialogue with his Chinese counterpart in an effort to patch up ties with Beijing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Senkaku islands are undoubtedly part of our country’s territory,” Kishida said. “But Japan-China relations also have many aspects of mutual benefit. We must have firm communications between the two foreign ministers.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The defence portfolio went to Itsunori Onodera, who served as deputy foreign minister for a year during Abe’s earlier premiership and during that of his successor Yasuo Fukuda.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sadakazu Tanigaki, the head of the LDP when the party was in opposition after ruling Japan for most of the past six decades, became justice minister.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abe, Japan’s seventh premier in less than seven years, replaces Yoshihiko Noda whose DPJ suffered a stinging defeat at the polls.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The party, which came to power in 2009, was seen as being punished for policy flip-flops and its clumsy handling of the Fukushima atomic disaster.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abe won conservative support with nationalistic pronouncements on diplomacy amid the row with Beijing over a group of East China Sea islands, saying Japan would stand firm on its claim to the chain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has also said he would consider revising Japan’s post-war pacifist constitution, alarming officials in China and South Korea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Abe quickly toned down the campaign rhetoric and has said he wants improved ties with China, Japan’s biggest trading partner. He called for a solution through what he described as “patient exchanges”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
China called on Abe to meet it “halfway” to try and improve relations that have been hurt by the debilitating territorial dispute.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
South Korea has its own islands dispute with Japan. But President Lee Myung-Bak sent Abe his congratulations, saying the countries have engaged in “close cooperation and exchanges as close neighbours and friendly nations”.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Washington: Starbucks stirred the political pot Wednesday by urging its baristas to write “come together” on its cups as a way to pressure US lawmakers to compromise on a deal to avert a year-end fiscal crisis.<span id="more-194244"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz said the American coffee giant was recommending its first-ever message on the side of tall, grande and venti (small, medium and large) drinks sold at its Washington stores as a way to help break the capital’s gridlock on the so-called “fiscal cliff.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As many of you know, our elected officials in Washington DC have been unable to come together and compromise to solve the tremendously important, time-sensitive issue to fix the national debt,” Schultz said in a letter posted on the Starbucks website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Rather than be bystanders, we have an opportunity — and I believe a responsibility — to use our company’s scale for good by sending a respectful and optimistic message to our elected officials to come together and reach common ground on this important issue.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lawmakers and the White House have less than a week to work out a deal aimed at preventing tax hikes from hitting all Americans and a series of deep, mandated spending cuts from kicking in beginning January 1.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Economists warn that failure to agree to a new deficit-reduction deal could tilt the US economy back into recession.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
President Barack Obama and members of Congress return to Washington Thursday after a Christmas break.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are more than 50 Starbucks stores in downtown Washington alone, including about a dozen within a three-block radius of the White House.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One Starbucks some two blocks from the presidential mansion had “Come Together” written on a slip of paper taped to the counter, but some of the drinks were being handed to customers without the message scribbled on the cups.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>SUNDERLAND, United Kingdom: Manchester City’s hopes of retaining the Premier League title are in tatters after their former midfielder Adam Johnson fired Sunderland to a shock 1-0 win over the champions on Wednesday.<span id="more-194240"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roberto Mancini’s side wasted a chance to keep the pressure on Manchester United at the top and they are now seven points behind the leaders, who scored a late winner to beat Newcastle 4-3.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Johnson’s 53rd-minute winner eased Sunderland’s relegation fears as the England international profited from a rare error by goalkeeper Joe Hart to hand City their first away league defeat since April.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With City protesting at a foul on Pablo Zabaleta in the build-up, Johnson accepted a pass from defender Carlos Cuellar to cut in from the right past David Silva and fire in a low shot which should have been collected by Hart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, he was guilty of failing to cover his near post, allowing the ball to creep into the bottom corner under his outstretched left hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stephane Sessegnon should have doubled the lead within moments, dragging a clear chance across the face of goal, before Hart partly made amends, blocking with his feet as the Benin international raced onto a through-ball from Fraizer Campbell to see his first-time shot denied.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sunderland’s margin of victory could have been more clear cut, with substitute Campbell spurning a close-range chance to double the lead seven minutes from time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s now almost four-and-a-half years since City have won at the Stadium of Light, with the pain of defeat heightened after the loss was inflicted by one of their old boys.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite earning a title-winner’s medal with City, Johnson enjoyed mixed fortunes in a two-and-a-half-year spell at Eastlands, returning to his native North-East in a £10 million move in August after making just 39 top flight starts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 25-year-old has struggled to scale the heights in the first half of the season, but helped his bid to win over the Wearside faithful with a goal that could have ramifications at both ends of the season at the end of the campaign.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_194241" style="width: 650px;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
City skipper Vincent Kompany came up from the back to send an early header from 10 yards against the bar from Silva’s corner, with keeper Simon Mignolet using his feet to save the close-range follow-up from Yaya Toure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mignolet was called into action again, this time with an agile save to pluck a 25-yard effort from Yaya Toure out of the air that was destined for the top corner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mignolet rounded off an impressive first-half with a fine point-blank block to deny Silva, who arrived at the near post to deflect a Sergio Aguero cross towards goal in a swift counter-attack launched by an incisive 40-yard pass from Carlos Tevez.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It proved to be a much quieter half for Mignolet’s opposite number Hart, but the City keeper was equal to the task in the only major threat to his goal before the break.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steven Fletcher, the eight-goal top scorer, reacted first to a Sessegnon flick to fire in a firm 20-yard effort, but the low shot was brilliantly saved by England number one Hart diving to his right</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mignolet made a fine reaction save to deny Aguero after the Argentine beat Sunderland’s offside trap to meet Silva’s slide-rule pass.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it was the hosts who looked more likely to add to Johnson’s strike as the contest wore on in what proved to be a famous victory for Martin O’Neill’s side.</div>

<div style="color: #555555; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-top: 9px;">

<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/139.jpg"><img alt="Chocolate milk" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193990" height="505" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/139.jpg" title="Chocolate milk" width="640" /></a>Washington: A study in the 'American Journal of Clinical Nutrition' revealed that after a hard workout session at the gym chocolate milk was considered to be the best for recovery as it contained eight to 11 grams of protein.<span id="more-193989"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The study also said that milk-based proteins promote greater muscle protein synthesis than soy-based proteins if taken immediately after exercise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Milk contains nearly 80 per cent casein-protein content and 20 per cent whey protein content. Which is ideal because the whey protein is fast-acting, allowing amino acids to get right into the muscle tissue, while the casein-protein is digested slower, providing a steady stream of amino acids over a lengthier period of time," said the study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The study further said that drinking chocolate milk after workout also provided around 20 to 25 grams of carbohydrates. It was observed that after the recovery period, those who were drinking post-workout chocolate milk showed enhanced performance between the interval sessions which indicated that the carbohydrates in chocolate milk were doing a better job in recovery than carbohydrates in other replacement beverages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sugar in the drink will cause a spike in insulin levels. Without this insulin spike, athletes are going to be looking at a slower recovery period, which could mean more time out of the gym.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The drink also contains calcium, which is one of the minerals that plays a critical role in the “power stroke” – when the individual muscle fibers generate tension through a cross-bridge cycling pattern, causing contraction to take place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By drinking post-workout chocolate milk you will increase your daily calcium intake, and increase the likelihood of an optimal power stroke.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Los Angeles: Marcus Camby, who has missed the last 14 games due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot, will return to the Knicks lineup against the Lakers, head coach Mike Woodson confirmed.<span id="more-193986"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We're going to put him in there," Woodson said. "We're going to need him based on the bigs that they have up front, so he will play."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But he said he was unsure of Camby's performance at the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I don't know, I mean, I've got to gauge it as we go along," he said. "It's not like I can sit here and say he's going to play 30 minutes. I'd be lying when I say that, because he just hasn't had enough court time yet. So we'll gauge it as we go along," NBC Sports quoted him as saying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Woodson refused to speculate further, saying: "I really don't know, honest to God I don't.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Because he just hasn't had a chance to practice. We'll put him out there and just see how it goes. Hell, he might get out there and have a ell of a game for us, so that's what I'm expecting. We'll see."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Camby hasn't played much at all for the Knicks this season, appearing in just six games and playing a total of 42 minutes. Now in his 19th season, Camby has career averages of 9.7 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.4 blocked shots per game, the report said.</div>

<strong>Florida: Joe Salter from Pensacola, Florida, made incredible achievement on April 21 when he swam a quarter-mile while juggling three balls, then biked 16.2 miles while juggling two balls in one hand and also ran four miles while juggling.<span id="more-193972"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The athlete, 31-year-old public school counsellor, completed a triathlon while juggling the whole time made history this year by setting one of the strangest world records.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even more amazing, he did this all in 1 hour and 57 minutes, according to The Huffington Post.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Before him, no one was able to figure out the swimming part of the triathlon,” Romanowski told The Huffington Post. “He was the first one.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, it wasn’t easy picking the weirdest record of the year, according to RecordSetter.com co-founder Dan Rollman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Salter’s achievement was worth celebrating, but his record was just one of many weird ones, Rollman said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besides Salter, other weird record-holders include Pete Moyer, who performed 10 chin-ups in a row while swiveling a hoop around his hips; Zakk Shanks, who managed to ride his unicycle 30 feet along the floor of a swimming pool; and rapper Street Light, who managed to freestyle rap for 13 hours in a row.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The teachers lost their lives when a gunman broke into Sandy Hook Elementary School and opened fire. They jumped into the situation and hid students in closets and bathrooms, and even threw themselves in the line of fire.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their selfless and heroic sacrifice was praised highly by most teachers as they vowed they would do exactly the same if they ever came face to face with a gunman in the classroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many teachers of the unfortunate school got extra thanks from parents and students for their role of securing children during the massacre.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That gratitude for teachers is a relief from recent years in which politicians and the public have viewed them as anything but heroes. Teachers have been the focus of increased scrutiny and criticism for the perception of having generous, unnecessary benefits and job security.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While teachers in the US saw their responsibilities increased and their salaries remained relatively flat over the last two decades at about $55,000 after adjustment for inflation. The salaries for starting teachers were usually lower.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether the courageous actions in Newtown lead to anything more than a temporary shift in the tone of how the nation talks about teachers remains to be seen. But for the moment, teachers are grateful.</div>

<strong>Boston: Hollywood actor and director Ben Affleck has said on Monday that despite his love for the political process, he will not be running for US Democratic Senator John Kerry’s seat.<span id="more-193964"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The seat would be open if the Massachusetts senator is confirmed as secretary of state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speculation about Affleck rose slightly when he did not completely rule out a Senate bid during an appearance on CBS’ Face The Nation on Sunday, The Associated Press reported.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Affleck says in a Facebook post he would continue working with the Eastern Congo Initiative, a non-profit organisation that helps direct humanitarian aid to the war-torn region, and for other causes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He says Kerry would make a great secretary of state.</div>

<strong>New York: Rajon Rondo scored 19 points and contributed six rebounds and five assists as the Boston Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Nets 93-76 on Tuesday in an NBA Christmas Day matchup.<span id="more-193961"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Celtics made a successful start to a four-game road trip, pulling level with the Nets at 14-13 for the season. Both clubs now share second place in the Atlantic Division behind the New York Knicks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jared Sullinger scored 16 points for the Celtics while Jeff Green added 15 points and Kevin Garnett had eight points and 10 rebounds for Boston, which lost twice to Brooklyn earlier this season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We played firm. That’s what we have got to be,” Garnett said. “We’ve got to be more consistent with what we are doing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the Nets battled back within eight points, the Celtics scored the last seven points of the third quarter to seize a 73-68 lead. Rondo had nine of Boston’s 17 points in the third quarter to spark the visitors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brook Lopez and Gerald Wallace each scored 15 points to lead Brooklyn while Joe Johnson added 12 in a losing cause.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Nets, who lost for the fourth time in five games and fell to 9-7 at home this season, were without power forward Kris Humphries, who is suffering from an abdominal strain. He is averaging 7.1 points and 7.4 rebounds a game.</div>

<strong>New York: Charles Durning, a decorated veteran of World War II and one of Hollywood's top character actors, has died at his New York City home on Monday at the age of 89.<span id="more-193958"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A New York City funeral home said he died of natural causes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Durning appeared in films like “The Sting”, “Tootsie” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was nominated for nine Emmys for his television work as well as two Academy Awards, Reuters reported.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The actor won a Tony Award for playing Big Daddy in a 1990 Broadway revival of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition to scores of TV shows, he appeared in more than 100 films.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Durning was nominated for supporting-actor Oscars for playing a Nazi in the 1984 Mel Brooks comedy “To Be or Not to Be” and the governor in the musical “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” in 1983.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Whorehouse” was one of 13 movies Durning made with friend Burt Reynolds, as well as Reynolds’ 1990s TV sitcom “Evening Shade.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other notable Durning movie roles included a cop in “Dog Day Afternoon,” a man who falls in love with Dustin Hoffman’s cross-dressing character in “Tootsie,” “Dick Tracy,” “Home for the Holidays,” “The Muppet Movie,” “North Dallas Forty” and “O Brother Where Art Thou?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Beijing: China’s largest rare earths producer said Tuesday it would suspend output at some plants for another month, extending a halt started in late October to try and stem falling prices.<span id="more-193954"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Baotou Steel Rare-Earth will halt firing, smelting and separation of rare earths at its factories in Baotou in the northern region of Inner Mongolia for one more month, it said in a statement filed with the Shanghai bourse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The rare earth market recovered slightly in the two months when production … was suspended. But there has been no fundamental turnaround,” it said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The firm, also called Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-earth (Group) Hi-tech, on October 23 started halting production at almost all of its plants, including two in the eastern province of Jiangxi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
China produces more than 95 percent of the world’s rare earths, 17 elements crucial for making a range of hi-tech products including iPads and wind turbines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The country’s control over the sought-after resources — through production caps and export quotas — has sparked a dispute with major trading partners.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The price of praseodymium-neodymium oxide, a rare earths compound used for ceramics and magnetic materials, has slid to around 300,000 yuan ($48,000) per tonne, less than one fourth the level at the highest point last year, the official Xinhua news agency said Tuesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Baotou Steel Rare-Earth implemented a similar month-long production halt in October last year, but failed to reverse the downtrend in global and domestic prices of rare earths.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The company said in October that its third-quarter net profit slumped 89.6 percent from the same period last year to 119.9 million yuan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its shares ended down 0.72 percent to 37.17 yuan Tuesday after the announcement.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pope Benedict XVI called in his traditional Christmas message for “an end to the bloodshed” and for “dialogue in the pursuit of a political solution” in Syria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brahimi, the UN-Arab League’s special envoy to Syria, held talks at his Damascus hotel with a delegation of six people led by Hassan Abdel Azim, head of the National Coordination Committee for Democratic Change (NCCDC), an opposition group tolerated by the regime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Azim said afterwards that Brahimi would stay in Syria until Sunday “to try to implement an international consensus to end the crisis.”</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_193946" style="width: 650px;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His deputy Raja Nasser was more forthcoming, telling reporters: “The only solution is a transitional government that holds all powers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“A political solution is the only solution, and this means the establishment of a new democratic regime instead of the current regime.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The comments come in the wake of a report by a French daily of a supposed US-Russian initiative for a transition in Syria, which has caused rage among opponents who reject any compromise with the regime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Le Figaro newspaper said a solution in the offing would involve keeping Assad in power until 2014 while preventing him from further renewing his mandate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Local Coordination Committees, a grassroots network of anti-regime activists, blasted Brahimi and the international community for failing to stop the bloodshed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Tuesday at least 31 people were killed across Syria according to preliminary figures given by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a day after 126 people died.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More than 44,000 people have been killed since the uprising erupted in March last year, the Observatory estimates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Brahimi’s arrival in Damascus to discuss a new political initiative to solve the crisis caused by the regime… has not put a stop… to massacres,” the LCC said.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_193943" style="width: 650px;">

It said the LCC rejects “any initiative that puts Syrians in a position where they are extorted and forced to choose between accepting unfair compromises, or the continuation of the regime’s crimes against them.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The opposition Muslim Brotherhood also dismissed any compromise that would leave Assad in power.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We consider that giving Assad the opportunity to commit an endless string of crimes is tantamount to complicity in these crimes,” it said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brahimi met Assad on Monday, saying afterwards that they had “exchanged views on the many steps to be taken in the future” regarding the “always worrying” Syrian crisis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Assad called the meeting “friendly and constructive.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Violence raged southwest of Damascus on Tuesday, mainly in the towns of Moadamiyet al-Sham and Daraya, the Observatory said, adding at least eight people were “summarily executed” in the area by regime forces.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rebels seized the town of Harem in the northwestern province of Idlib, large swathes of which are now in rebel hands, it added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Gulf Cooperation Council of six Arab monarchies expressed “deep sadness over the continued shedding of blood by the regime and the destruction of cities and infrastructure” and urged a rapid political transition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The United Nations warned on Tuesday that Syrians are “losing hope” as war worsens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
UN relief official John Ging said: “People are losing hope because they just see more violence on the horizon, they just see a deterioration.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<strong>Madrid: Former men’s tennis world number one Rafael Nadal’s long-awaited return after an agonising six-month knee injury battle has been put off because of a stomach infection, he revealed on his Twitter and Facebook sites on Tuesday.<span id="more-193944"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 26-year-old Spaniard – who hasn’t played since his shock second round exit to 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol at Wimbledon in June – had been due to play in a six player exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi this week ahead of his return to the ATP circuit at Doha from December 31.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was due to join world number one Novak Djokovic and US Open champion Andy Murray among others at the three day event.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I am really sorry but I cannot compete this year in Abu Dhabi,” wrote the seven-time French Open champion and presently ranked number four in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Everything was ready and I was really eager to return to competition, but the doctors have forbidden me to participate in Abu Dhabi because of a viral infection of the stomach which has provoked a fever.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nadal, an 11-time Grand Slam title winner, has been plagued by knee injuries throughout his career, a legacy of his all-action style.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But earlier this week he shrugged off any fears that despite falling to number four in the world rankings, he is no longer a threat to Djokovic, Murray and world number two Roger Federer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I haven’t forgotten how to play. I have played over 600 ATP matches and I have spent two years without playing. My feeling is good. I won Roland Garros and those emotions are still me,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The doctors say the knee is fine and that is great news for me. I still feel something, it’s not perfect.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nadal insisted he is not bitter over his recent experiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I have accepted it as normal, as part of my career, part of my job. It’s another challenge,” he told marca.com.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“All I can do is try. But people have to realise that when you’re so many months without competing you need time to progress.”</div>

<strong><a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/129.jpg"><img alt="Chevrolet trucks, made by General Motors" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193607" height="427" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/129.jpg" title="Chevrolet trucks" width="640" /></a>Chicago: General Motors will recall 119,000 US vehicles because some of them may be missing a backup hood latch, the US automaker said in regulatory filings.<span id="more-193606"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GM did not say whether it was aware of any accidents or injuries as a result of the defect, which affects certain Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles from the 2010 to 2012 model years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If the primary hood latch is not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly,” GM wrote in the recall notice to federal safety regulators.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“During vehicle operation, this could obstruct the view of the driver and increase the risk of a crash.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Notices will be sent to owners, who can simply check under the hood to see if the second latch is missing. If it is, GM dealers will replace the missing part free of charge.</div>

<strong><a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/119.jpg"><img alt="Polling station officials count ballots in Giza" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193603" height="421" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/119.jpg" title="Polling count in Giza" width="640" /></a>Cairo: A credit rating downgrade Monday and an opposition challenge to a constitutional referendum which the ruling Islamists say they won added to Egypt’s political crisis and piled pressure on President Mohamed Morsi.<span id="more-193601"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood says its numbers show 64 percent of voters backed the new charter, despite weeks of protests by the secular-leaning opposition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the electoral commission said it was investigating opposition allegations of fraud during the two-stage referendum held on December 15 and 22.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Official results would not be released until the commission could show the voting “really reflects the will of the Egyptian people,” commission official Mohamed el-Tanobly told AFP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The National Salvation Front opposition coalition warned that, regardless of the outcome, “the referendum is not the end of the road. It is only one battle.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That raised the prospect of more protests like the ones which have confronted Morsi for more than a month, leaving the Arab world’s most populous nation polarised and its political institutions paralysed.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_193602" style="width: 650px;">

<div class="wp-caption-text">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clashes on December 5 outside Morsi’s Cairo palace killed eight people and wounded hundreds, prompting the army to deploy troops and tanks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rating agency Standard and Poor’s on Monday downgraded Egypt’s long-term credit rating one notch to ‘B-’ and said it could be cut further if foreign exchange reserves or the government’s deficit sharply worsen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We expect political tensions to remain elevated, with no clear indication that rival factions will be brought to a point at which they can contribute to addressing Egypt’s economic, fiscal, and external challenges,” the agency said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Agreement on a $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund was put on hold this month, accentuating the risk of Egypt’s currency collapsing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The central bank has run through more than half its foreign reserves since the ouster of longtime president Hosni Mubarak early last year, leaving less than $15 billion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Egypt’s economy, once a vibrant opportunity for investors, was brought low by the 2011 revolution and has continued to lag under Morsi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was unclear how a political remedy could be reached.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood are using their newfound power to spearhead rapid changes they contend will put Egypt on the path to stability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the largely urban, liberal, leftwing, Christian and secular opposition feels alienated by Morsi’s steamrolling tactics, and worries the new charter will open the door to strict Islamic law, or sharia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Merzek, a 29-year-old health ministry employee in the city of Minya south of Cairo who declined to give his last name, said the Islamists “say they want to apply sharia even on Christians. If that happens, we can’t say no, but I will stay in my country because, if we go, Egypt is finished.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His wife, Mariane, 25, added: “If they try to force the (Islamic) headscarf on us, I will certainly not wear it.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The direction has also generated international unease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Germany is echoing the opposition’s call for an investigation into the alleged voting fraud.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The United States, which provides Egypt’s powerful military with $1.3 billion in aid per year, has kept mostly quiet on the turmoil buffeting its key Middle East ally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the Republican chairwoman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the US House of Representatives, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, called the vote “a defeat for the Egyptian people” at the hands of “an Islamic dictatorship.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only Iran, which is trying to claim the Arab Spring was inspired by its own 1979 Islamic revolution, welcomed the referendum. It said it promoted “progressive, Islamic and revolutionary goals” in Egypt.</div>

<strong><a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/0910.jpg"><img alt="Nelson Mandela" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193597" height="428" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/0910.jpg" title="Nelson Mandela" width="640" /></a>Johannesburg: Ailing icon Nelson Mandela will spend Christmas Day in hospital, the South African government said Monday, dashing hopes for a festive end to his longest stay in care since being released from prison in 1990.<span id="more-193594"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Former president Nelson Mandela will spend Christmas Day in hospital, his doctors have confirmed today, on 24 December 2012,” the presidency said in a statement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 94-year-old Nobel Peace laureate and South Africa’s first black post-apartheid president, was admitted to a Pretoria hospital on December 8. He has been treated there for a recurrent lung infection and had surgery to remove gallstones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement President Jacob Zuma said his predecessor “continues to respond to treatment”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Knowledge of the love and support of his people keeps him strong,” Zuma said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We urge all South Africans to keep Tata (father) uppermost in their thoughts at every place of worship or entertainment tomorrow on Christmas Day, and throughout the festive season.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_193596" style="width: 650px;">

<div class="wp-caption-text">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We also humbly invite all freedom loving people around the world to pray for him. He is an ardent fighter and will recover from this episode with all our support,” Zuma said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was no indication of when he might be discharged.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He remains in hospital, recovering,” presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj told AFP on Monday. “I can’t say when he will be discharged, doctors will make that decision.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only limited details of Mandela’s condition have been made public by the South African government, which has repeatedly called on the public to respect the former president’s privacy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before his retirement in 2004 Mandela used to host a Christmas feast in his home village of Qunu for impoverished children — a highlight for many.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since retiring from public life, Christmas has been a more low-key affair, spent with family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neither tradition will be repeated this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While many South Africans have resigned themselves to the idea of life without the country’s most respected citizen, he remains highly esteemed and was the subject of many prayers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Monday churchgoers at the renowned Regina Mundi Catholic Church in Soweto sent him messages of love and support after mass.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Others, including local celebrities, have taken to social networking sites to wish Madiba — the clan name he is fondly known by — a speedy recovery.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Thinking of Madiba tonight, prayers that he gets well soon just in time for Christmas,” wrote radio and television personality Jeannie D.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mandela, who became South Africa’s first black president after the country’s first all-race elections in 1994, has a long history of lung problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He contracted tuberculosis — a disease which killed his father — while in jail as a political prisoner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former statesman was later hospitalised for an acute respiratory infection in January 2011, when he was held for two nights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mandela was last seen in public in 2010, clad in a scarf during the closing ceremony of the FIFA World Cup, when he was wheeled into the stadium in a golf cart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In May, footage of a smiling, grey-haired Madiba seated on a couch, was shown on television when he was visited by ruling ANC leaders to present him with a symbolic flame to mark the party’s 100 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mandela stepped down in 1999 after serving one term as president.</div>

<strong><a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/069.jpg"><img alt="Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) with Indian PM Manmohan Singh" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193590" height="460" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/069.jpg" title="Vladimir Putin with Manmohan Singh" width="640" /></a>New Delhi: Visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin signed deals to sell 71 military helicopters and kits to build 42 fighter jets to India on Monday as he sought to firm up ties with a traditional ally.<span id="more-193584"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The contract for Mi-17 helicopters was first signed in 2010 and India has now increased the order from 59 to 71, the ministry of external affairs said in its list of deals agreed by Putin and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
India, which is one of the world’s largest arms importers as it works to upgrade its military, depends on Russian-made military equipment that accounts for 70 percent of its arms supplies.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_193586" style="width: 650px;">
<a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/0510.jpg"><img alt="largest importer of arms" class="size-full wp-image-193586" height="683" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/0510.jpg" title="largest importer of arms" width="640" /></a><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Russia is a key partner in our efforts to modernise our armed forces and enhance our defence preparedness,” Singh said after holding talks with Putin and signing ten deals ranging from science and technology to education.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“A number of joint design, development and production projects are underway in high-technology areas. We expressed satisfaction that these projects are progressing well,” Singh said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also among the deals were the delivery of parts for 42 Su-30MKI fighter planes for assembly in India. The original agreement for the jets was signed last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The value of the two deals was not known but Russian news agencies said they were worth about $2.9 billion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Russia once had a virtual monopoly over India’s arms market, but New Delhi has been shopping around in recent years and Putin’s visit is seen in Moscow as a chance to regain lost ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moscow has been worried recently by New Delhi’s increasing preference for Western suppliers, especially after Boeing was chosen last month over Russia’s Mil plant for a major helicopter contract.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
India has been unhappy about delays to deliveries of some naval equipment, notably the aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov which is being refurbished for the Indian Navy in Russia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Russia was originally to deliver the upgraded vessel in August 2008, but the date has now been pushed back to the end of 2013 while the price has more than doubled to $2.3 billion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the meeting on Monday, Putin said the dialogue was “substantial and constructive”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We agreed to deepen ties in the areas of military and defence sectors,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Russian Direct Investment Fund, a sovereign wealth fund, and the State Bank of India agreed to jointly invest up to $2 billion to promote trade and economic cooperation projects.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_193585" style="width: 650px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The leaders also discussed the construction of India’s largest nuclear power plant, in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First conceived in 1988, the Russian-built Kudankulam plant was expected to start operations in 2011. But protesters surrounded the compound after an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi plant in March 2011.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Singh said negotiations for the construction of Units 3 and 4 at Kudankulam had made good progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bilateral trade has been growing steadily and is expected to reach around 10 billion dollars in 2012, up from 7.5 billion in 2009, according to official figures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Our trade turnover has overcome the consequences of global crisis, and in 2012 we expect to reach record numbers, over $10 billion. Our next goal is to reach $20 billion already by 2015,” Putin had said before the one-day visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Agreements in the pharmaceutical, chemical and cultural sectors were also signed Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The venue of the talks was switched to Singh’s official residence due to violent protests in central New Delhi following the gang-rape of a student that has caused widespread public outrage.</div>

<strong>INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana: Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano, who spent the past three months fighting leukemia, wiped away tears on Monday as he returned to work, saying the team’s success helped his recovery.<span id="more-193587"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Under interim coach Bruce Arians, the Colts’ offensive coordinator, the team that finished with the National Football League’s worst record last season, won nine games and at 10-5 has clinched a playoff spot with one game remaining.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Watching them week in and week out, from a hospital bed or in my living room was not easy,” Pagano said. “You felt helpless at times, but watching them coach and play, they inspired me. They have no quit. They find ways to win.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pagano, who took the job last January, met with players in his first hours back on duty after having taken an indefinite leave last September in order to undergo chemotherapy and other treatments to fight blood cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You just keep the right frame of mind, stay positive and know you can win. You keep that mindset and know you can overcome,” Pagano said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It’s your faith and belief and will. It’s like with our players. We talk about beating their man. It’s just lining up against something else. We still talk about that will to win.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Circumstances don’t make you. They reveal you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Colts owner Jim Irsay was confident Pagano was ready to return to guide the team as it prepares to close the season next Sunday against Houston and then open the playoffs on the road the next week against an undecided foe.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I know Chuck is ready for this challenge,” Irsay said. “I know the time is right for him to grab the reins and get that head coaching cap on and get the coaching journey back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Arians, himself a prostate cancer survivor, guided the club into the NFL playoffs with a victory on Sunday at Kansas City.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What a masterful job you did, Bruce,” Pagano said. “You carried the torch and won nine ball games and you got us in the playoffs and you did it with dignity and with class.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The sky is the limit with the club and it’s because of you, Bruce.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pagano said he will try to take charge without hurting the chemistry the team and Arians have built the past three months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Tough act to follow. I’ve got my hands full,” Pagano said. “I’ll try not to get in the way. It’s great to be back, like a kid in a candy store to be back around the guys again.”</div>

<strong><a href="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/0312.jpg"><img alt=" yacht ordered by Steve Jobs" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193581" height="426" src="http://www.thenewstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/0312.jpg" title="Steve Jobs yacht" width="640" /></a>The Hague: Steve Jobs’ superyacht Venus was free to leave Amsterdam port Monday after the late Apple co-founder’s estate paid a deposit to resolve a dispute with designer Philippe Starck, who had had the yacht impounded.<span id="more-193576"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Venus is no longer impounded, we have found a solution,” Gerard Moussault, a Hague-based lawyer for the Jobs estate, told AFP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“A security deposit was paid into a bank account, but I cannot say for how much,” Moussault said after French designer Starck last week asked Amsterdam bailiffs to seize the sleek 70-metre (230-foot) yacht.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The vessel, which reportedly cost over 100 million euros ($130 million) to build, was impounded after Starck said Jobs’ estate still owed him three million euros for his contribution to its design.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Starck said he was to be paid a fixed sum of nine million euros, while lawyers for Jobs’ estate said he was to be paid a percentage of the project’s cost equal to six million euros.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Dutch-built yacht, which was only unveiled in October — just over a year after Jobs died — is in Amsterdam harbour because of bad weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The captain is waiting for better weather to set sail,” Moussault said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Starck’s lawyer in the Netherlands, Roelant Klaassen, said on Friday that Jobs and Starck were “very close in the period that the design was made and the building proceeded.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“That’s one of the reasons there was no formal agreement on the job,” he said.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The yacht will reportedly be shipped by another ship to the United States, where Jobs’ family, including widow Laurene Powell Jobs and their three children Reed, Erin and Eve, are to take charge of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The aluminium-hulled yacht was built by Royal De Vries shipbuilder’s in Aalsmeer, just south of Amsterdam, with interiors designed by Starck.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bridge features a control panel made up of an array of seven iMac computers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Starck said last year that he was working on the yacht, which was mentioned in Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs, who died on October 5, 2011. He said it was “sleek and minimalist”, with teak decks.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Chishtian: Pakistan's Federal Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Monday that everyone should play their role for democracy as it was the only way forward for Pakistan.<span id="more-193575"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Addressing the oath-taking ceremony of newly-elected office-bearers of the Renala Khurd Press Council and members of Chishtian Bar Associations, he said the future caretaker setup will be decided by political forces only.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The information minister welcomed the return of Chief of Tahreek Minjhaj-ul-Quran Dr Tahirul Qadri from Canada and said the government would respect his standpoint in accordance with the constitution to help strengthen democracy and institutions, APP reported.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Allama Tahirul Qadri should seek the people's support through popular public vote within the ambit of the constitution … no one can be allowed to oppose the constitution," he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We welcome all the parties who want to do politics in the country according to the constitution and desire to strengthen democracy and democratic institutions," Kaira added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, he said the PPP would not allow anyone to derail democratic system as it had been restored after numerous sacrifices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The minister said some elements had been trying to create confusion as the nation was preparing for general elections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kaira said the PML-N has always maneuvered elections, adding that the N-League was afraid of the government's resolve to hold free and fair polls as it would hinder their interests.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On dual office of the president, Kaira said the PML-N leadership should understand that President Asif Ali Zardari's office of PPP Co-Chairman was honorary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The PML-N must elaborate whether it wants a democratic president or a conspirator in the Presidency," he added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said unfortunately, the Presidency had been a root of conspiracies against democracy in the past but President Zardari strengthened democracy by relinquishing all powers to the prime minister including the atomic control.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kaira also called upon the judiciary to avoid involvement in political decisions as it raises eyebrows on judiciary's role.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We respect courts and their decisions," he added.</div>

<strong>BANGALORE, India: Police bomb squad officers and sniffer dogs searched Bangalore stadium Monday as part of a massive security operation for the start of the first Pakistan cricket tour to India for five years.<span id="more-193572"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hardline Indian nationalist organisations including Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Shiv Sena have both threatened to hold protests outside all the venues for the five-match series, which begins in Bangalore on Tuesday evening.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Indian government has said it will issue a record number of 3,000 visas to Pakistani fans attending the series — the first since the 2008 Mumbai attacks which led to a complete breakdown in relations between the two countries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As the governments of both the countries have agreed to hold the bilateral series, no organisation will be allowed to disrupt the match,” Bangalore police commissioner Jyotiprakash Mirji told reporters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An AFP reporter saw bomb squad officers carrying out a painstaking inspection with their dogs in and around the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore, the capital of the southeastern state of Karnataka.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As many as 5,000 security personnel, including a 100-member bomb squad, have been deployed to cover the match, fearing attempts to disrupt the game or even stage an attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shiv Sena, a Hindu nationalist party based in Mumbai, has branded the tour a “national shame” and accused Indian cricket authorities of “betraying the country for sake of money”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The same organisation dug up the wicket at the Feroz Shah Kotla cricket ground in New Delhi in 1999 ahead of an India-Pakistan Test although the match did go ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cricket has been used in the past to mend diplomatic ties, with the prime ministers of both nations symbolically shaking hands as they watched their teams in the semi-final of last year’s World Cup in the northern Indian city of Mohali.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the prospects of a diplomatic dividend this time round appear slim and there has been no announcement of a visit by a Pakistani leader for any match.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ties were further strained on a trip to New Delhi by Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik this month, when he compared the Mumbai attacks to the 1992 razing of a mosque by a Hindu mob which sparked a wave of sectarian violence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Boria Majumdar, a Kolkata-based academic and sports historian, said there was little reason to expect that the resumption of cricketing ties would herald any wider political thaw between the nuclear-armed neighbours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This series is not going to yield any diplomatic dividends,” he told AFP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Cricket needs India-Pakistan rivalry, but having said that this contest will not lead to any diplomatic breakthroughs.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few Pakistani fans had made it to Bangalore on Monday. But one who had travelled from the United States said it was too much to expect cricket to stimulate diplomacy every time the teams played.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Mohali magic cannot be repeated every time the countries face off on a cricket ground,” said 60-year-old Mohammed Bashir, who lives in Chicago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“That the teams are playing each other on Indian soil is in itself a big thing. We should not expect anything more to come out of this encounter,” Bashir told AFP, dressed in the green and gold of the Pakistani team.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>London: Swansea defender Ashley Williams will not face a Football Association charge after Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson slammed the Wales star for kicking the ball into Robin van Persie’s head.<span id="more-193569"></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Williams earned a stinging rebuke from Ferguson after Sunday’s 1-1 draw at the Liberty Stadium following the second half clash with van Persie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The United forward was lying prone on the turf following a foul when Williams kicked the ball into the back of the Dutchman’s head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ferguson called on the Football Association to ban the Swansea centre-back, who was booked for the incident by referee Michael Oliver.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He (van Persie) could have been killed. Williams should be banned for a long time, Ferguson said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It was absolutely deliberate. The whistle has gone, the game has stopped and he has done that right in front of the referee. It was a disgraceful act.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it is believed the FA will not instigate disciplinary procedures against the 18-year-old, who denied malicious intent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, Williams was backed by Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, who was his boss at Swansea until the end of last season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I think more has been made of it than what it actually was,” Rodgers said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“When you slow it down and look at it 20 times it does not look good for Ashley.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“But I know the player well and it is just that split-second when you can see he is trying to clear the ball and unfortunately hits van Persie right on the back of his head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Of course, it looks dangerous but knowing Ashley he won’t have meant it, knowing his character that won’t have been intentional.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez, who signed Williams for Swansea in 2008, admitted he could understand Ferguson’s reaction but did not believe the player acted out of malicious intent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If you see one of your players with a bang on the back of the head it is really dangerous and it can have bad consequences. You can understand that,” Martinez said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I signed Ashley Williams for Swansea and I know his character inside out. I can guarantee you without even looking at the incident that he is not a nasty footballer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He is a winner and fully committed, a leader and a captain. When you sign a player you find out about a player and I can guarantee you he is not the type of footballer who would do that on purpose.”</div>
