Deadly blasts hit India's Hyderabad
At least 11 people have been killed? and 78 people injured?after two bomb blasts struck the southern Indian city of? Hyderabad, Indian officials say.
The blasts on Thursday were about 10 minutes apart and occurred near a cinema hall and a bus station.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh vowed punishment of those responsible for the "dastardly act", which came with the nation on alert after the recent hanging of a separatist unleashed protests in the Muslim-majority region of Kashmir.
The bombs targeted a mainly Hindu district in Hyderabad, a southern hub of India's computing industry which has a large Muslim population.
It is?believed that one of the explosions went off as people were leaving the cinema, Sohail Rahman, Al Jazeera's South Asia correspondent,?reported from New Delhi.
He said quoting local media that as many as?15 people might have died while the injured?were being?taken to nearby hospitals.

"The devastation is pretty widespread. This part of the city is a very popular bazar area, very popular with young people when they are going out in the evening," he said.
Local police said they were trying to determine the cause of the explosions.
Al Jazeera's Nilanjan Chowdhury, reporting from New Delhi, said local media had reported a threat two days ago.
"Two days ago there was an alert from the intelligence agencies, and it was sent out to all the states in India, but there was no specific intelligence as to what might happen," he said.
The situation in India has been tense, with trade union strikes entering their second day and the arrest of several suspected members of the armed group Lashkar-e-Taiba in recent days.
The explosions came on the same day as India's parliament opened for its crucial budget session, amid tensions following the hanging earlier this month of Mohammed Afzal Guru,?a Kashmiri separatist.
The execution of Guru, who had been convicted of helping to plot a 2001 attack on the Indian parliament that left 10 people dead, has driven up tensions in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Ranjan Mathai, India's foreign secretary, said the culprits were not known but did not rule out foreign involvement.
"I am not sure there is any evidence it could be homegrown terrorism," he said.
"We? have had a number of attacks which have been traced to inspiration or? leadership outside the country."

TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) ? A woman who was the first of three people killed in a gunman's rampage has been identified, but her relationship to the shooter ? a videogame-playing loner ? remained unknown Wednesday, authorities said.
Courtney Aoki, 20, of Buena Park was shot multiple times early Tuesday in the home that gunman Ali Syed, 20, shared with his parents, said Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.
But beyond that, authorities know little about her, including how she got the house, her occupation, and how she might have known Syed, Amormino said.
Syed, a part-time community college student who ultimately committed suicide, was a loner and a "gamer," Amormino said.
"He spent a lot of time alone in his room playing video games," he said.
A 12-gauge shotgun used in the killings belonged to Syed and was purchased by his father about a year ago, he said.
The rampage began before dawn Tuesday at the home in Ladera Ranch and ended 25 miles to the north during the early morning rush hour, police said.
Syed killed two more people during carjackings, injured at least three more, and shot up cars zooming down a busy freeway interchange before committing suicide with his shotgun as police closed in, authorities said.
The shooter forced one commuter stopped at a stop sign out of his BMW, marched him to a curb and shot him three times from behind as shocked witnesses looked on, Tustin police Chief Scott Jordan said.
The motive for the shootings remained unclear.
Syed had no criminal history and no history of mental illness or mental disability, said Lt. Paul Garaven, a Tustin police spokesman.
An autopsy will determine whether Syed had any drugs in his system, but Amormino said no illegal drugs were found in the house and there were no signs he was using illegal substances.
His parents did not recognize the woman who was shot to death in the Ladera Ranch home, he said.
Syed's parents rushed outside and called police at 4:45 a.m. Tuesday after hearing the gunshots, but Syed had already sped off in his parents' black SUV.
Officials released the recording of a 911 call that Syed's parents made. In the call the dispatcher tried to elicit information from the shooter's panicked, sobbing mother as a house alarm blared in the background.
"I think somebody was shot," the mother said in her first comprehensible statement. "I heard a gunshot."
The dispatcher then asked questions to sort out what happened including whether there was an intruder or if the mother had been shot.
"Yes, there is somebody in our house," the mother said.
After several minutes, Syed's father took the phone and said he believed his son may have gotten in a fight with a friend. The father said Syed left the home and took their car but he and his wife had not entered his son's room to see what happened.
We were asleep, we heard something, it sounded like a gunshot," he said.
"He's gone out," he said of his son. "Well, he took the car we had, right? He's not home right now, so I assume he drove away."
From Ladera Ranch, the gunman headed north and pulled off Interstate 5 in Tustin, about 20 miles away, with a flat tire, police said.
There he fired at and wounded a man in a car, then carjacked a vehicle from a man at a gas station and got back on the freeway, where he fired at commuters, authorities said.
The shooter then exited the freeway in nearby Santa Ana and carjacked a BMW, killing driver Melvin Lee Edwards, 69, of Laguna Hills.
Edwards served as a U.S. Army combat infantry officer in Vietnam and graduated from the University of Southern California, according to a biography on his company's website. He and his wife, Cheryl, had celebrated their 42nd anniversary on Feb. 12 and have two adult children, his brother-in-law, Jeff Osborn, told the AP in a phone interview.
"He was extremely remarkable person. I know it's an old cliche, but he really did love life," he said. "The world's a lot smaller today for not having him here."
Syed took Edwards' BMW and next popped up at a Tustin business, where he shot and killed construction worker Jeremy Lewis, 26, of Fullerton. Lewis' co-worker rushed to intervene and was shot in the arm, Jordan said.
Syed took the second construction worker's utility truck and fled to Orange, this time with California Highway Patrol officers in pursuit. He jumped from the moving truck at an intersection about five miles away, and shot himself in the head.

PFT: 'Phins agree to stadium referendum
Getty ImagesOne of the biggest problems with the Lions of late is that they have too few players on the roster who can or will lead from within.
G.M. Martin Mayhew realize the team needs those qualities.? He blames the absence of in-house leadership in 2012 on the fact that the guys who would have provided leadership were injured.
?That was tested last year in a big way because of [safety Louis] Delmas being injured and not on the practice field,? Mayhew said, via Anwar Richardson of MLive.com.? ?You guys know how much energy he brings to practice, and the tempo he played with, and he was sorely missed.? Not just the games he missed, but also the practices.? He barely practiced last year.?
Mayhew also mentioned defensive lineman Corey Williams, receiver Nate Burleson, and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, who started every game but was injured during training camp and the preseason.? Vanden Bosch already is gone, and Williams and Burleson may not be far behind.
Mayhew acknowledges that more leaders need to be development from within.? ?That is an area that we need younger players who are developing with us to take more of a leadership role, but there also can be some opportunities that we may need to bring in some guys that have some of those qualities,? Mayhew said.
?Part of developing as a player is not just developing on the field, but it?s developing leadership, locker room, off-the-field, and you start to feel a little bit more comfortable every year.? We need some guys to step up that way, also.?
He didn?t mention them by name, but Mayhew possibly is referring to players like quarterback Matthew Stafford, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, and receiver Calvin Johnson.? All are talented, well regarded, and highly compensated.? It?s time for each of them to take real ownership in the team and to hold their teammates accountable.
And also to urge Mayhew and coach Jim Schwartz to avoid the temptation to draft or sign talented but troubled players like Titus Young.

Sexual capitol is a relatively new concept that you should place a priority on developing. This involves using your wit and charm to help you get the things that you need. Not everyone has good social skills, but these can help you go farther in all aspects of your life.
TIP! If you are feeling ill-tempered, be sure to step back and count to ten prior to taking any action. Take a deep breath and think of a peaceful place.
Leaders are strict and powerful, yet also humble. Effective leadership requires many qualities, as well as an understanding of servitude. Being virtuous and having integrity is part of being a leader, too, and few people will follow a leader that does not display these traits.

You should strive to overcome things such as lust, greed, overeating and drunkenness. You will not develop any life long addictions that will compromise your health in a physical or mental fashion.
Many people are unaware that diet can affect feelings of depression, as an increase in consumption of complex carbohydrates can help. Serotonin can be depleted without enough complex carbs in your diet. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables along with nuts, legumes and whole grains can boost the amount of these carbohydrates that you take in.
You must know what you want out of your life in order to develop personally. You can plan more effectively and enjoy a more accurate perspective on personal development when you have set long-term goals.

You are less likely to experience extreme negative energy if you maintain your focus on sending positive energy to everyone you encounter.
Do you abuse alcohol? Are you a smoker, or do you regularly engage in something that is bad for you? Your body is what you live in every day and therefore consideration for its well being should be a priority. Eliminating bad habits can be a very essential part of improving your life. Analyze your life and habits, and make a point to cut out any habits that are not good for you or your body.
TIP! Personal development requires many tough choices. This may mean you need to make decisions without having perfect information about the outcomes of those decisions.
Watch successful people; learn and follow their habits. Pick a few basic ones at first, then practice them steadily until you do them without thinking. You should keep it up for at least 21 days to make it a habit.
It is often helpful to focus on one single improvement at a time. While there may be a number of aspects that you?d like to work on, concentrating on one aspect at a time makes it more likely that you will succeed. This also helps the changes stick because it is easier to maintain one new habit compared to ten.
No matter what another person?s position in life may be, remember to always treat them with respect. How they are treated speaks more of you than them.
TIP! Reduce the stress in your life. Over-reacting to a bad situation will just make it seem worse and cause more stress.
As you can see, self improvement is simpler than it looks. By breaking your self improvement process into small, manageable goals, you?ll find yourself closer to your goals by the end of every day. You?ll be able to practice what you?re seeking to adopt as habit, and you?ll increase your own morale to continue. These tips are only a springboard, it?s up to you to build a better life.
Do you have trouble understanding Self Improvement? You are not the only one.` This article can luckily help you learn as much as you can. Use it as your guide and reference it when you need to know more.
