London, November 11 : Amy Winehouse might just dump hubby Blake Fielder-Civil after knowing that he had called his ‘other woman’ first post his prison release.

The singer, who has had Blake’s ‘girlfriend’ Sophie Schandorff to blame for making her think twice about her marriage, is yet to see her beau since he entered rehab, according to sources.

The ‘Back To Black’ hit maker, whose husband was released early from jail on a condition that he’d mend his ways at the ‘Life Works’ centre, had declined to pay Blake’s 30,000-pound rehab bill, according to a pal.

“When Amy found out Blake had been in contact with Sophie it was the final straw,” the Sun quoted a pal as saying.

Balaji Panchapakesan at the University of Delaware, Newark, proposes the idea of filling carbon nanotubes with water before injecting them into a tumour.

London, Nov 11: The apostrophe has emerged as the punctuation mark, which causes most problems for Britons, according to a new survey.

The survey of nearly 2,000 UK adults revealed that almost half were unable to use the apostrophe properly.
