officials said here today.
Acting on a tip-off on the movement of ultras, the

live ammunitions of AK rifles, 100 live ammunitions of 9mm

between the mid-field and forwardline in the second half.
Germany's hardwork finally yielded result in the 47th
minute when Moritz Furste scored the equaliser with a well
executed variation from their second short corner of the

when they earned their third penalty corner after video umpire
was brought into action, but Furste's flick this time was
deflected off target by the Aussie defence.

was not to be Germany's day as Doerner finally came to the
party in the 59th minute, beautifully converting Australia's
third short corner with a powerful drag-flick past Jessulat.
Orlando, Mar 13 (AP) The ambulance crew that responded
after Tiger Woods crashed his SUV would not allow his wife to
ride with him to the hospital because they suspected domestic
violence, documents released by the Florida Highway Patrol
show.
But a police officer yesterday who responded said he
didn't know where the crew got that information because he
never heard it from anyone at the scene.
The reports also showed Woods' wife, Elin, turned over
two bottles of pain pills to troopers after the November 27
crash outside the couple's suburban Orlando home.
Woods crashed his sport utility vehicle into a fire
hydrant at 2:30 a.m., and officers found him lying in the
street. The couple told investigators Elin Woods smashed the
back window of the SUV with a golf club so she could unlock a
door and pull him out.
Woods, the world's No.
New Delhi, Mar 13 (PTI) The International Hockey
Federation today said that ego clash and political differences
within the state bodies were behind the delay in the Hockey
India elections and the poll process has to be completed by
May 31 to avoid suspension from the world association.
FIH president Leandro Negre said India was the only
nation in world hockey which does not have an elected body
comprising men's and women's wing under one roof.
"Earlier, we were not consistent with our deadlines
because there were different issues, including High Court stay
order, but now we are in a much better position. In the last
two weeks during the World Cup we approached the states to
solve the problems and come out with a compromise formula.
Some of them have been fixed and some promised us it will be
done," Negre told reporters.

Kolkata, Mar 13 (PTI) There was no link between
commodity futures and the double-digit food inflation,
National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) Chief
Business Officer Vijay Kumar said today.
"It was pointed out that inflation at present is much
higher in products that are not traded on futures exchanges
such as tur, urad, moong, fruits and milk," Kumar said at a
seminar.
"I doubt that a ban on futures trading would help curb
inflation. It is observed that even a ban could not contain
prices. The ban on futures trading in sugar in 2009 did not
bring down prices," he said at the seminar jointly organised
by the NCDEX and the Forward Market Commission.
Futures trading enables large number of end users such as
processors, wholesalers and corporates to hedge their price
risk.
