THREE MORE INFANT DIED

Malda (West Bengal): Three more infant died at Malda Sadar Hospital on Saturday taking the death toll in the state-run facility to nine in the past two days.

While three children died in the hospital today, six other deaths occurred during Thursday-Friday, acting Superintendent Dr R R Samanta said, adding that most of them were new-born babies.

Most of the deaths were caused by respiratory difficulty induced by cold with many babies referred from far-flung areas in serious condition, the official said.

The hospital authorities have taken measures including a warmer on 24-hour basis at the neo-natal unit.

At least 15 infants had died in this hospital in a period of six days in November.

AMRI HOSPITAL FIRE

hello every body .. very sad news ..The toll in AMRI Hospital fire tragedy rose to 93 after two patients who were evacuated to two different hospitals died Sunday morning.

"Babulal Bhattacharya died in the morning today (Sunday). He died of cardiac arrest and not due to suffocation caused by the fire," said a doctor at the hospital's Salt Lake facility.

Bhattacharya was earlier admitted to the Dhakuria branch of the hospital in the city with heart ailments. Following the fire in the early hours of Friday, he was evacuated and shifted to the Salt Lake facility of the same hospital, where he breathed his last.

The other victim was 82-year old female patient who died Sunday afternoon at Bellevue Clinic. She was admitted to the hospital on Friday morning after the fire.

“A female patient who was shifted to our hospital from AMRI hospital, Dhakuria has expired today (Sunday),” said Biswajit Matilal, assitant vice president, corporate communications, Birla Corporation Limited

In another development, a fire engine was pressed into service after smoke was seen coming out of the basement of the AMRI annexe which had caught fire Friday.

"Such an occurring is normal in case of major fires. We were informed about the smoke coming out and sent an engine which doused the flame," said an officer manning the fire services headquarters in the city. do pray for them ...

Virender Sehwag let a sigh of relief and the capacity crowd erupted in unbridled joy as Darren Sammy allowed a sitter slip through his otherwise safe

hi every body ... The batsman, looking set for only the second double ton in the history of one-day internationals, pointed his bat towards a sheepish-looking West Indian skipper as if to thank his rival number for the ‘favour’.
Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, India’s stand-in skipper, on 170 when he was reprieved, blazed his way to 219 (149b, 25x4, 7x6) that powered the hosts to series win over the West Indies here on Thursday night at the Holkar Stadium.

After posting their highest ODI total – 418 for five – India bowled out the visitors to 265 in 49.2 overs to register a comprehensive 153-run win to take an unassailable 3-1 lead going into Chennai’s final match on Sunday. On a day when Sehwag authored a masterpiece, Denesh Ramdin’s valiant run-a-ball 96 was a mere footnote.

While the day largely belonged to Sehwag, debutant Rahul Sharma (3/43) managed to steal some limelight with three crucial blows when the West Indies were going berserk. The Punjab leg-spinner struck thrice in his first three overs -- all with the last ball of each over and all bowled – to reduce the match into a no-contest.

Sehwag, who also completed 8000 ODI runs during his knock, won the toss for the fourth time in succession, but this time opted to bat first on what appeared a batting beauty. Having endured a succession of poor starts in the previous three matches, India went in with their tried and tested pair at the top, Sehwag partnering his Delhi mate Gautam Gambhir (67, 67, 11x4). The move paid handsome returns as the left-right combination laid a strong platform for a big total.

Having warmed up with a flicked four off Ravi Rampaul, Sehwag played an uppercut to deposit Kemar Roach over thirdman fence. For the next few minutes, Gambhir, dropped on 20 by Andre Russell off his own bowling, struck a series of fours before his senior mate firmly took the charge welcoming off-spinner Sunil Narine with a lofted six over long-on. A placid pitch and superfast outfield had already blunted the visiting attack but a supreme lack of intensity on the field and bowlers’ own profligacy ensured that the mayhem got only more brutal.

Slight slip-up
Sehwag seldom spares even a good delivery and a slight slip-up either in line or length is inviting trouble. But West Indies seemed to welcome a calamity on the day. The 33-year-old reached his first 50 runs in 41 balls but that was only an appetiser before the main course. The opener consumed a mere 28 balls to bring up his 15th ODI ton (69b, 10x4, 5x6).

While Sehwag was bruising in his assault, Gambhir hurt the Windies no less with his deft slices and cuts. The only jarring note between the two was a surprising lack of understanding while running between the wickets which eventually resulted in the dismissal of Gambhir. The damage, however, had been done as an impressive 176 had come in a matter of 137 balls.

A struggling Suresh Raina was promoted to number three and the left-hander did his cause no harm with a strokeful 55 (44b, 6x4) before he ran himself out going for a non-existent second run after adding 140 (105b) for the second wicket.

Raina is one of the fiercest hitters of the cricket ball but looked a mute spectator in front of Sehwag’s breathtaking blitzkrieg. It was during this association that Sehwag slowed down a bit but only relatively. He took 43 balls to move from 100 to 150, his slowest phase during the innings, but needed just another 28 balls to get to the magic figure of 200.

VETTEL EXITS EARLY

The world champion IN F1 2011 appeared set for victory when he made a clean start at the Yas Marina Circuit to comfortably lead Lewis Hamilton through turn one.

However, Vettel's Red Bull then suffered a right rear puncture and he was left a passenger when his car pitched into a spin.

After Hamilton had led the field past, the German trundled back to the pits but suspension damage brought his first retirement since last year's Korean Grand Prix.

"On the exit of the first corner, everything seemed fine and then turning into the second corner I could feel that something was odd on the rear right," Vettel explained. "I had to catch the car surprisingly and then the second time, I couldn't do it anymore, as I'd lost too much air in the rear right tyre.

"I had a puncture and spun off. When I got back to the pits, the resulting suspension damage meant we couldn't carry on.

"There wasn't anything we could have done better really this weekend; we just need to look at what had caused the puncture.

"I had a good start and I was very happy with the car up until that point. To lose the race there, so early on, it hurts for sure," added Vettel,

F1 ABU DHABI 2011

As the race progressed Vettel made a good start, but span off on the second corner, destroying his right rear in the process. Hamilton now leads from Button, with Alonso on the pounce. And Alonso gets past, up into P2 during the first lap.

This race could get interesting.

Massa and Webber nearly collided going into Turn 1, while the two Mercedes drivers looked close to connecting on more than one occasion. Vettel is now at the back of the pack and limping slowly to the pits.

Lap 2, and Hamilton has a 2.5s lead over Alonso in P2. Vettel makes it to the pits and looks close to retirement – the wheel is destroyed.

Lap 3, and DRS is enabled.

On replay, it’s obvious that Vettel’s suffered from hub failure, and not driver error. At least the best time to have your first retirement of the season is after you’ve won the championship, right?

Hamilton still leads from Alonso and Button, with Webber in P4. But the Red Bull driver passes Button with relative ease, prompting talk that the McLaren driver is struggling with the balance of his car.

Alonso goes purple, but is still 2.6s behind Hamilton and out of DRS reach.

Kovalainen made a great start, and is currently running in P14. Just behind him is Barrichello, who has worked his was up to P15 from a grid slot of P23.

Perez, Kobayashi, and Senna have all pitted; based on pace the latter two appeared to be suffering car trouble before heading to the pits. Perez is almost certainly on a one-stop strategy.

Alonso is currently two-tenths faster than Hamilton in the first sector, but the McLaren driver has the edges in sectors two and three.

Button – who managed to get back ahead of Webber – has just posted the fastest lap of the race and is beginning to close in on Alonso. But the McLaren driver is 6s down on his teammate, which isn’t far off one second a lap off the current pace.

Lap 9, and Buemi and di Resta are jostling for position. Buemi crept ahead, but di Resta managed to hold his position despite being on the harder tyre. The battle was brought to you – in part – by the extended DRS zone.

With the race one-fifth run, the top ten is: Hamilton, Alonso, Button, Webber, Massa, Rosberg, Schumacher, Sutil, di Resta, Buemi.

The two HRTs are tangling with each other, both drivers jostling for position at the back of the grid.

Di Resta radios that he is beginning to lose traction; Buemi might be able to pounce in the next lap.

At the front, the gap between Hamilton and Alonso is holding steady around 2.6s. Button is six seconds further back, with Webber 1.4s behind.

Rosberg is pulling out a lead on teammate Schumacher; the two cars have been running together since they nearly collided on the first lap but the younger driver is now 5.6s ahead of his compatriot.

Lap 13 and Alonso goes purple. The gap to Hamilton has been reduced to 2.3s.

Button radios complaining of car trouble; the McLaren driver is losing a second a lap and is now within Webber’s DRS range.

Buemi and di Resta are still playing pass and repass; the Scottish driver is delivering a commendable performance given his traction issues at a circuit where traction is vital.

Lap 15, and Webber makes his move on Button. Webber overshoots the corner and Button reclaims his place. The McLaren driver has KERS failure.

The gap between Hamilton and Alonso is down to 1.9s, as Ferrari call Massa into the pits. The Brazilian drops from P5 to P8 on exit, and ushers in the first major pit stop phase of the race.

Hamilton and Alonso pit together from P1 and P2, while Button enters the McLaren box as soon as his teammate leaves it. Sutil, Schumacher, Alguersuari, and Kovalainen have now all pitted this lap.

Webber now leads the race, with Hamilton in P2 and Alonso in P3. And on the next lap, Webber pits from the lead and emerges in P5. Hamilton is back in the lead, and 2.6s ahead of Alonso.

Webber had a very slow stop, over nine seconds thanks to a stuck wheel.

Hamilton goes purple on his fresh rubber, extending the gap to Alonso to 3.3s. Button is 15.9s behind his teammate, and has Massa 1.4s behind.

D’Ambrosio has retired following what felt like a ninety minute pit stop, thanks to what the team confirm is a brake problem.

Lap 21, and we’re treated to a battle for 12th between Renault teammates Senna and Petrov. But Senna pits, and the promise of action comes to nothing.

Buemi has retired.

Lap 22, and with three retirements under our belts the top ten: Hamilton, Alonso, Button, Massa, Webber, Rosberg, Sutil, Schumacher, di Resta, Maldonado. Di Resta and Maldonado have yet to pit.

The gap between Alonso and Hamilton is shrinking, thanks to time lost lapping backmarkers. On lap 23, it was holding steady at 3s, but by lap 24 Hamilton has pulled out an extra 0.3s on the Ferrari.

Further down the grid, Kovalainen is keeping Barrichello solidly in his wing mirrors; the Lotus driver is in P14 with the Williams man 2.3s further back down the track.

Lap 25, and Barrichello passes Kovalainen for P14.

Maldonado pits and crashes into the tunnel wall on exit. This is the pinnacle of motorsport, don’t you know? The Williams driver recovered and continued to the track.

Lap 28, and di Resta pits for what will presumably be his only stop of the race. Perez pits for a second time – I was wrong to assume he was one-stopping.

At the front of the pack, Hamilton is slowly extending his lead on Alonso. The two men are now split by 4.1s.

Lap 29, and Maldonado is under investigation for ignoring blue flags. And almost immediately, the stewards announce a drive-through for the Venezuelan, who is currently running in P14.

Lap 30, and Webber and Massa are getting close. Webber passes Massa on the straight, and the two make brief contact. Massa then uses his DRS to repass the Red Bull. This is a battle certain to run and run.

Lap 32, and Maldonado serves his drive-through. Can he leave the pits without driving into the tunnel wall?

Hamilton is pulling away from Alonso at the front of the pack; the gap between the two is up to 5.6s. Button is 15.8s further back in P3, with the Massa-Webber battle four seconds behind him.

Alguersuari and Maldonado are causing traffic problems for Webber and Massa, who are attempting to lap them. The grid has now been lapped up to Kovalainen in P13.

Alonso sets the fastest lap the race so far (we’re on lap 34), and chips away at the gap to Hamilton by half a second. Traffic is a serious problem for the frontrunners, especially where Maldonado is concerned.

Lap 35, and Hamilton has lost 0.7s passing backmarkers.

Maldonado and Alguersuari are being investigated for ignoring waved blues. That’ll be a stop-go penalty for Maldonado, while Alguersuari should get a drive-through.

Webber pitted from P5 on lap 36, and returned to the track in P6. One lap later, Button pits from P3 and comes back out in P5.

Senna is under investigation for ignoring waved blues, and is immediately issued with a drive-through.

Lap 37, and Senna pits for his penalty.

Lap 38, and the order in the points is: Hamilton, Alonso, Massa, Rosberg, Button, Webber, Schumacher, Sutil, di Resta, Petrov. Di Resta and Petrov are one lap down on the race leaders.

Webber goes purple on his fresh soft tyres.

At the head of the pack, the gap between Hamilton and Alonso is down to 3.1s. Hamilton will need to pit for new rubber shortly; the question is will Alonso stay out with a view to jumping the McLaren driver, or will the pair race in the stops?

Lap 40, and Hamilton pits from the lead. Alonso stays out, and the McLaren driver emerges in P2.

Massa pits from P3, and is joined by Kovalainen. The Lotus driver overtakes the Ferrari heading into the pit exit tunnel.

The stewards announce the Alguersuari-Maldonado incident will be investigated after the race.

Webber passes Button for fourth, the two men make contact and the McLaren driver wobbles across the track but recovers. It looks as though the Red Bull tapped the rear and the front in the course of the pass, but it was racing contact and not anything to worry about.

Alonso has yet to pit, but is currently sitting on a 20s lead over Hamilton in P2. Ferrari will need to best McLaren’s 3.6s stop time to stay ahead, and Hamilton is setting fast sector times on his fresh tyres.

And Alonso pits on lap 43, slowed down by Ricciardo who is also pitting.

The Ferrari stop wasn’t quick enough – Hamilton has the lead on Alonso, and both cars will now run till the end of the race.

Lap 44, and the leading pair are split by 4.4s.

Massa has just driven over a bit of what appears to be Barrichello’s front wing, possibly damaging his car in the process.

Lap 45, and Webber passes Rosberg for P3. The Australian isn’t vulnerable to a DRS-powered repass, as he’s just powered off into the distance. What was that about the unbeatable Mercedes engine?

Lap 47 and the provisional points go to: Hamilton, Alonso, Webber, Rosberg, Button, Massa, Schumacher, di Resta, Kobayashi.

Hamilton is currently 5.7s ahead of Alonso in P2. Button is now 1s down on Rosberg, and might be able to use his DRS to pass, although defending will be tough without KERS.

Pit me baby one more time. Britney (aka Rosberg) pits for the last time on lap 49.

Massa isn’t having a great day – the Brazilian driver has just slid sideways across the runoff area, but returned to the track unscathed.

With five laps remaining, the gaps have stabilised at the front of the pack. Hamilton has six seconds on Alonso, who is eleven seconds ahead of Webber. Button is just shy of 10 seconds behind the solitary Red Bull.

Closing laps drama from Ricciardo, who plants his car sideways into the barriers at Turn 16. The Australian is out, but will be a classified finisher.

It’s the penultimate lap, and there’re no changes in the points.

Hamilton crosses the line to begin the last lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and Webber pits for the last time. The Australian slips off the podium, handing P3 to Button.Abu Dhabi Grand Prix results
