A bomb blast has hit a school bus in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, killing the driver and injuring a number of children.
The roadside bomb, of the type used against Nato troops in Afghanistan, was planted in a bin.
The device went off in the busy Bhana Marri area on the Kohut road, the scene of many blasts.
Last week a suicide bomb claimed by the Taliban killed more than 40 people in north-west Pakistan.

Remmy Ongala often appeared at the Womad music festival One of Tanzania’s most popular musicians, Remmy Ongala, has died at his home in Dar es Salaam.
Born in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo in 1947, he was known as “the Doctor” because he was seen as a defender of the people.
His songs often criticised Tanzania’s elite and at the height of his popularity the government tried to expel him on immigration grounds.
But as his international fame grew, he was granted Tanzanian nationality.
His mix of Congolese “soukous” music and Swahili rhythms made him popular across East Africa.
He was also a regular performer at the Womad music festival in the UK until he fell ill 10 years ago and was paralysed.
Despite his ill-health he had toured in Tanzania until recently, mainly performing gospel music.
The BBC’s Hassan Mhelela in Dar es Salaam says all radio stations in the country are playing his music and fans are phoning in with tributes.
By the time of his death, even President Jakaya Kikwete was a fan, recently visiting him in hospital.
Ongala often wrote about death – one of his most well-known tracks is Kifo, about the mercilessness of death, saying no matter how rich a person, bribery cannot postpone it.
The singer and guitarist moved to Tanzania in 1977 and joined the Orchestra Super Makassy, until he formed his own group Super Matimila.
He said his music was intended not only to make people dance but also to think.
“I am successful in Tanzania because I write songs about serious topics,” his music label, Real World Records, quoted him as saying.
Our reporter says there is even a suburb of Dar es Salaam called Sinza Kwa Remmy, named after the musician when he moved to the area in the 1980s.

Three men have been remanded in custody charged in connection with a £1m drugs seizure in Belfast.
A court heard the suspects were detained after two cars and a lorry were stopped on Saturday.
Two large bags containing 26kg of suspected herbal cannabis with a street value of up to £520,000 were found.
Subsequent searches of a flat located quantities of cocaine, ecstasy tablets, amphetamines and cannabis resin with a similar value.
‘Mastermind’
Around £15,000 in cash was also seized from the property.
Belfast Magistrates Court heard Ryan Black, 27, of Winchester Road in Carryduff described as “mastermind” of the alleged gang.
He faces a total of 14 charges, including possession of Class A and Class B drugs with intent to supply, being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis, and having criminal property.
His co-accused James Turley, 51, of Ballymore Road, Tandragee, and Mark Mulholland, 25, of Glenariff Crescent, Ballymena, are both charged with possessing cannabis with intent to supply.
Mr Turley faces a further count of possessing criminal property while Mr Mulholland is accused of transferring criminal property.
The court was told two people wanted in connection with the investigation are still at large.
A detective said that during the alleged handover in a city industrial estate Mulholland put two bags of cannabis in his Ford Mondeo after receiving them from Mr Turley, a lorry driver.
Turley was paid £2,000 to bring the drugs, the court was told.
Keys
Mr Black, a plumber, had circled the area in his own BMW car before the lorry driver arrived, it was claimed.
The keys to a flat were also found, leading to the follow-up seizure.
The detective said three hydraulic jacks were located in Mr Black’s car, one of which had white powder on its base.
He claimed dealers use similar devices as cocaine presses to bulk up drugs and make customers believe they are getting a high-quality produce.
“In Mr Black’s case we would say he’s the mastermind between this drugs gang,” the officer told the court.
Mr Black’s barrister, Denis Boyd, stressed no drugs were found in his client’s car. He also disputed claims that mr Black may flee if released.
‘Duress’
Referring to Mr Mulholland, the detective claimed he was “a mover of drugs, a courier”.
Defence solicitor Michael Madden said the height of the police case was that he was in possession of packages for a short period of time.
The court heard Mr Turley claimed to have acted under duress and said that he had co-operated with police.
But the officer questioned this account due to the payment he allegedly received.
District Judge Fiona Bagnall refused to grant bail to any of the accused due to the risks of either re-offending or interfering with the investigation.
All three accused were remanded in custody to appear again via video-link next month.

Matthew Starmore said his diary entries were not written by him A campaigning father planned to use bullets and explosives to shut down his home city, a court has heard.
Father-of-three Matthew Starmore, of Newport, was found with smokeless gunpowder, ammunition rounds and bullet heads when police raided his house.
Mr Starmore, branch secretary for New Fathers 4 Justice, had a list of targets in his diary, Cardiff Crown Court heard.
He denies possessing explosives, ammunition and handling stolen goods.
The court heard that Mr Starmore, 31, had promised “The most hard-hitting events since World War Two” for Newport.
Prosecutor Roger Griffiths said a diary entry read: “This will be the most dramatic, climatic and hard-hitting events since World War Two.
“This is just the start of a nationwide campaign.”
Mr Griffiths said Mr Starmore’s diary had a “to-do” list of targets that included sites key to the city’s infrastructure.
Mr Griffiths said: “He wanted to shut down the city and pull in police and emergency services from far and wide.
“Starmore wanted to escalate the activities of Fathers for Justice by using the bullets.
“He had these items and he was going to use them to carry out some kind of publicity for Fathers For Justice.”
Mr Starmore told police he and his housemate had found the items in a lane and taken them so they were not picked up by children.
He told police the entries in his diary were not written by him and that they were “hypothetical” thoughts.
The trial continues.

I would like to duplicate livemixtapes*com. They host thousands of mixtapes by various artists and DJ’s. This is all free promotional use music. I would like to either 1 scrape all of their mixtapes for certain famous artists and additionally recent mixtapes by all artists, or figure out someway to bridge to the content if it is too much too download (which it very well may be).
I am looking for a vertical search engine with simple
three column page contains:

automaticly every morning, and store it in the server SQL.
Using open source Lucene/Nutch 1.2 or any script you are experienced with.
2- Powerful control panel.
3- a search box, to search the data stored in the SQL.

A- the Title with link to the original source (open in a new window)
B- the scrap date.
C- description (about 200 characters).

if it is possible the spider should exclude parts of the pages:
(div id) (div class) (span id) (span class) …etc.
If you did before similar project, it would be
more appreciated to let me see.
I’m looking to try someone out who is a expert at online marketing to help promote two websites, a freelancer and a classifieds website. I want to start off small and see how your marketing works on a small scale first and if you can show results in increased traffic, registrations, and postings then I can increase the compensation and scale of marketing audience. We paid a marketer more money before and found out he was creating fake website accounts to show increased registrations so we want to start off small first to see on a small scale your methods and see your trustworthy. I am open to various sorts of online marketing for these sites (social, forums, blogs, craigslist, etc). Please email me what you will do for this initial amount for both sites, how you will do it, and as much details as you can provide.
Client requires an exact clone of a current drupal website, placing on already hosted domain, and updating to latest version.
Small site
Thank you for looking at this project. We want to pick an experienced programmer with feedback, but we’re looking for someone who can make this script quickly for a low price.
We upload a lot of tutorial and how to articles from MS Word to our client’s proprietary website. Each article consists of a description, things needed section, steps, a tips section, a warning section, a resources section, and an SEO keyword phrase section. There are some other fields as well, but we will copy and paste these by hand.
Each section is pasted into a specific text entry box on the client’s website. We want a script that will automatically copy and paste each section of text in the MS word article into the correct text entry box on the client’s website. The script should only paste the text. It should NOT submit any forms on the client’s website.
The script can be simple and not flashy looking, but it should contain the following features:
• We choose the MS Word file that we want to copy the information from.
• We need the option to designate which text entry box on the client’s website the information is posted into.
• If there is information on the MS Word file not designated by a delimiter, it should simply be ignored #paste to client website#.
• The script should handle up to 20 steps by default.
• The script should only copy and paste one article at a time, because all articles are submitted to a custom page on the client’s website designated for that particular article.
• The copy and paste process should be very, very fast. We need to save time on this process, which we’ve been doing manually.
• We will load the client’s submit page in our desktop browser so the script and insert the information and we can make changes to the information before we press the submit button on the client’s website.
Other things to note:
The script can be simple in looks, but it should work on all versions of windows and MAC. This is really not a complex script, we’re just trying to be thorough so you understand it.
Files Attached:
1. Sample article with delimiters in place.
2. Sample code from one of the client’s pages. There are extra fields and text boxes that we don’t use.
3. Screenshots from the front end of the client’s system.
There is a web-based tracking tool written on Perl and using MySQL for storing the stats. After some time, when a lot of stats is collected, the user can’t access his account anymore, it freezes on login and doesn’t load anything.
You can see it yourself, by following the info in the attachment. We need to fix it, so that users can see their stats withing their account.
Thanks
