LONDON, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- World number one Mark Selby won his second UK Championship title after beating Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-7 in a thrilling final in York's Barbican Center on Sunday.
The 33-year-old becomes only the sixth player to win the World and UK Championship tournaments during the same calendar year and pocketed the top prize of 170,000 pounds.
O'Sullivan, bidding to win his sixth UK title, trailed 2-6 following the opening session and lost one more frame in the evening session to go behind 2-7. But he managed to make it 7-8 after two brilliant breaks of 134 and 130.
Leicester's Selby finally close out the match with back-to-back century breaks of 134 and 107 to secure the title.
Selby said after the match, "It feels amazing. Just to win the UK is a great feeling anyway, but as I said when I won the world for the first time, if I was to go on and win a big tournament I'd like to play Ronnie in the final and to go on and win.
A disappointed O'Sullivan said, "Mark has done well to win so congratulations to him. I was pleased with my attitude. I was pleased that when I came to the table I just played the shot and didn't get bogged down looking around too much, which can happen when you are playing long frames.
"I enjoyed my game, but I just missed too many easy balls to win tournaments, that's probably why I haven't won anything this season. "
SYDNEY, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Australia's Queensland government has finally given the green light to Uber to be legalized across the sunshine state, Fairfax Media reported on Thursday.
The newspaper reported that while Uber will be made legal, its drivers will face more regulations including background checks to match its already established taxi industry.
At present, Queensland and Northern Territory are the last two states in Australia yet to have legalized Uber. The ride-sharing services are free to operate in New South Wales, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Tasmania and Western Australia.
However, despite the illegality, Uber has recently launched a maxi-cab style service in Queensland known as UberXL in June. The service allows parties of up to six people into one car, and is claimed to be 30-percent cheaper than current traditional "maxi-taxis" found in the state.

China on Friday said sanctions should not affect the everyday life of North Koreans as the United Nations (UN) Security Council headed toward a vote on a new resolution that would impose the toughest sanctions yet on the country over its nuclear bomb and ballistic missile tests.
Addressing a daily briefing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said the UN resolution should aim to prevent the North from developing its nuclear and missile programs
asics onitsuka tiger tokuten baratas , but should not affect the daily lives of local people.
The resolution, drafted by the US after negotiations with China, would require UN member states to conduct mandatory inspections of all cargo passing through their territory to or from North Korea to look for illicit goods, Reuters reported.
Measures also provide for a ban on exports of coal, iron
onitsuka tiger mexico mid españa , gold, titanium and rare-earth minerals from North Korea and would prohibit the supply of aviation fuel, including rocket fuel, according to AFP.
'Unyielding message'
US Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power
asics onitsuka tiger mexico mid baratas , said the resolution, if adopted, would send "an unambiguous and unyielding message" that there will be consequences for actions of the North, AFP reported Friday.
The Security Council decided to impose new measures on North Korea after it carried out its fourth nuclear test on January 6 and test-fired a rocket on February 7. It will be the fifth sets of sanctions on the country since 2006.
"The new sanctions may not have a major impact on the North in the short run," Zheng Jiyong
asics onitsuka tiger mexico delegation baratas , director of the Center for Korean Studies under the Shanghai-based Fudan University, told the Global Times on Friday.
"As the country gradually runs out of supplies and equipment for its research work on nuke tests, Pyongyang will feel more acute pain when the sanctions basically cut off its production and research abilities," Zheng noted.
Meanwhile, Pyongyang's staunch determination to get nuclear weapons can be constrained if the US and China can reconcile their positions
onitsuka tiger mexico delegation españa , since the divergence has aided the nuclear tests of the North in the past, Li Kaisheng, an associate research fellow at the Institute of International Relations at Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Friday.
The US should shoulder a bigger role in reaching a final solution to the nuclear issue on the peninsula, which is dependent on negotiation and dialogue
