World allergy specialists to meet in Hyderabad on December 6
For the first time in India, the World Allergy Organization (WAO) will host the WAO International Scientific Conference (WISC 2012) from December 6 to 9 in Hyderabad providing a multidisciplinary forum for a wide range of health care professionals, who treat patients with asthma and allergic diseases.
The conference, which would be held under the patronage of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, expects to gather nearly 1,500 delegates from around the world.
As the discipline of allergy spans various specialties, the scientific program will offer a wide range of courses and subjects: 24 postgraduate courses, 5 plenary sessions, 16 parallel symposia, 6 keynote lectures, 3 poster sessions as well as a half-day program on "Highlights in Immunotherapy," a 'General Practitioner Program', and a 'Patient and Public Forum', all delivered by a faculty of 90 internationally known experts.
254 abstracts were accepted from clinicians around the world, and travel grants have been awarded to 5 junior clinicians. Allergic diseases and asthma, like other non-communicable diseases, are escalating to epidemic proportions worldwide and up to 30-40 percent of the world's population are now affected by some form of allergy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 300 million individuals have asthma worldwide, a figure that could increase to 400 million by 2025 if trends continue. The complexity and severity of allergic disorders, including asthma, continue to increase especially in children and young adults. This is paralleled with a rising prevalence of life threatening allergies like food allergies, drug allergies and anaphylaxis and more complex forms.
"As the prevalence of allergic disease and asthma rises in countries around the world especially in children regardless of their economic status, so do the socioeconomic costs both direct such as interference with breathing during day or night, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations, and indirect such as reduced quality of life, reduced work productivity and absenteeism," said Professor Ruby Pawankar, Conference President and President of the World Allergy Organization.
"This offers an opportunity for low-, middle-, and high-income countries to join forces in addressing a major global challenge that threatens health and economies alike," she said.
According to Professor Stephen Holgate, Scientific Program Chair, "The enormous rise in asthma and allergy prevalence worldwide - but especially in those countries which are developing so rapidly - is a concern such as is occurring in India. We must try to uncover the causative agents involved and deliver a prevention program."
The WISC 2012 meeting in Hyderabad, according to Professor Lanny Rosenwasser, Organizing Chair, 'will bring international experts to India in a timely exchange of ideas and new information to manage these global public health concerns. The emerging science of allergy and immunology makes new and effective means of treatment for serious diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and allergic skin diseases'.
Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Ghulam Nabi Azad will inaugurate the conference on December 6. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy will preside over the function.

Congratulations to the Fermoy minor hurlers who ended their year on a winning note by defeating Carrigtwohill in the final of the Rebel Og Premier 2 league, on the score of 2-11 to 23 after very interesting and well fought encounter played in cold blustery conditions at Delany's Grounds in Kilbarry, Cork on Saturday last.
Ground conditions, while good, were a bit on the soft side and as this game was the third of three finals played on the pitch on the day, it made for difficulties all round for players on both sides, ground hurling was at a minimum and quite a few players found difficulty in lifting the sliothar which often led to bunching and the referee having to throw-in to continue the game.
The final score would tend to believe that Fermoy had an easy victory, far from it indeed; both sides found scoring very difficult from play, a tricky wind may have been partly to blame for this, but mainly it was down to good defences which were both on top of their game all through.
Fermoy were first on the board when ace forward David Geary scored from a free, at the other end the Carrig forwards were finding the going tough against a Fermoy defence that saw full back Peter, Murphy, centre back John Ring and Josh Pyne on the wing each in brilliant form and controlling all that was happening in that area of the pitch.
Two more points from the stick of David Geary saw Fermoy slowly edge ahead 0-4 to 0-0, ten minutes before the interval Carrig were handed a lifeline when a rather speculative ball from the midfield area dropped under the bar only to slip from the hand of excellent goalkeeper Richie Cronin to make it a one point game all of a sudden, this score seemed to do more for Fermoy as they upped their game with points from Garry O'Callaghan and Martin Brennan to leave their team in front at the interval 0-5 to 1-0.
Carrig lads will look back on all their wides of that first half and wonder what would have happened had they only converted a small number of them?
The second half saw much more pressure applied by the Carrig boys, they pulled back one point but two excellent scores 1-1, by Geary, put his team back in the driving seat once again.
The exchanges were fast and furious for most of the second half.
Carrig added 1-1 to put the game in the melting pot once again, but once again the Fermoy captain David Geary was on hand to make the breakthrough and his second goal restored his side's four point lead to which Carrig again replied with a point.
Entering the last five minutes, both sides were trying desperately to get the vital scores but it was Fermoy with Padraig de Roiste coming into his own and colleague Geary 0-2 who finished the scoring to leave Fermoy deserving winners after an exciting game.
On this coming Saturday the team will be in action in yet another Premier 2 league final, this time it will be in the football final and the opposition will be provided the more traditional football side from Clonakilty, this game is billed to take place in Togher (home of St Finbarrs H&F clubs) on this Saturday with the time to be confirmed. As usual I ask all who may intend to travel, to consult club officials before doing so as these games tend to change very often.
With the senior side enjoying a weekend off, the Fermoy junior side were away to Everton for their 3rd round game in the FAI junior cup, this team is currently in great form and they continued in this vein with a well deserved 2-4 victory,
The Fermoy Rugby team is also enjoying a great start to their season in the Junior league, their victory at home to Clare side Scarriff on Sunday last was a top of the table clash with Fermoy coming out on top by 28pts to 13 for Scarriff, meanwhile the club's second team lost out away to Midleton on a 12pts to 3 scoreline.

Multiple Sclerosis Society
For Honors University Seminar, we decided to raise money for and volunteer our time to the Multiple Sclerosis Society near campus. To raise money, we collected cans around campus and housing and held a successful bake sale. These fundraising efforts brought in just over $300 for the MS Society. To volunteer our time, we helped out with various organizational tasks for which the society was grateful for our assistance. It was a great volunteering opportunity for everyone to get involved.
Ronald McDonald House
The Ronald McDonald House of Detroit provides a home away from home for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at the nearby Detroit Children's Hospital. These families spend most of this stressful time at the hospital visiting their children, leaving no time to grocery shop and cook. On multiple occasions, the LTU Honor Society has prepared a delicious home cooked meal for these people who always express their appreciation for our efforts.
Master Harold and the Boys
The World Masterpieces II Honors class in Spring 2007 put on a production of Master Harold and the Boys for the student body. This event was so well received that it was followed by the creation of the LTU Society of Dramatic Arts (SODA), an organization which now puts on a different play every semester.

Because Water Doesn't Flow Up Hill
Himachal Pradesh

Published: July 4th 2008
Himachal Pradesh
June 10th 2008
About a month ago several bombs went off in Jaipur and on the morning we had planned to get a bus over there to complete our tourist trail of the golden triangle we heard Gujjar protestors were blocking roads and train tracks from Agra. We decided to give Jaipur a wide berth and head back to Delhi and have a re-think.
The new plan was to head straight into Himachal Pradesh and explore the valleys and mountains a few weeks earlier than planned. The dusty bus journey from Chandigarh to Shimla was awful, we had to change buses three times and the drivers seemed intent on getting as quickly to the top as possible around very tight, scary bends on the high mountainous roads.
As soon as we arrived we headed straight for the first hotel we laid our eyes on and were pleased with our choice as the views over Shimla from our room were gorgeous. The weather in Shimla was so refreshing, the only time we broke out in a sweat was going up and down the steep stairways getting to and from the middle bazaar where our hotel was situated. With the cool climate we took
full advantage of the fact that we could buy chocolate bars which were not half melted and bloomed. We got through more than our fair share of Cadbury fruit and nut bars during the five days we were in Shimla. The Mall was the main stretch where all the shops, cafes and restaurants were and it gets really busy after about 11am with people hanging around, lotering and flogging tourist tat.
I wasn't feeling that great the morning of our departure from Shimla so we decided to splash out on our second taxi of the trip to get ourselves to Mandi. The roads in the Himanchal Pradesh are not really roads, they are full of pot holes and are all only one lane wide so any journey be it in a bus or taxi is generally very uncomfortable.
The journey from Shimla to Mandi really didn't do my throat much good and the following morning I found blood and pus deposits around my tonsils so being mindful I was hours away from any decent hospitals I decided it must be Tonsilitus and to go down the route of self-medication. You can buy almost anything over the counter so
I bought several different anti-biotics, pencillins, painkillers and throat sweets. Reading up on the various brands of drugs I had bought didn't fill me with much hope, many of them had failed clinical trials however they were the only solution to my ever expanding throat.
I don't remember much of Kullu as I was taking so many pills and potions but we stopped there a few days enroute to Manali. We stayed in a run-down hotel in town and the price included brekkie. Comically eating turned out to be the highlight of crashing there. I don't know if they get many tourists because the restaurant was always empty except for the one waiter who seemed to do a lot of waiting, we have never felt so under scrutiny while eating.
As the weekend neared we decided to get ourselves up to Manali as there were trained doctors up there just in case my throat totally closed. The crowds along the mall were crazy, so many people in just one space and the pollution from the cars and tuk-tuks made walking along the roads an awful experience. Our one moment of sanctury was walking through the nature park to
Sunset From Our Balcony In Vashisht
Old Manail. Vashisht on the other hand was an oasis of calm and the views of the River Beas from our balcony were brilliant, in fact we loved it so much we stayed six nights.
We had been debating the idea of heading further north to Leh, walking through Manali the amount of signs for shared taxis and buses made it tempting. It would be a two day drive with a stop over half way in some tented accommodation, obviously the toilet was going to be of the bush variety and when up on the high mountain passes it would be behind a rock, if there were any.
For the whole of our trip we have been in rather warm climates and are not kitted out to survive for days on end on snowy mountain passes so while contemplating our forray to Leh we thought it would be a good move to test the water with a day trip up to the Rotang Pass, 50km from Manali. Technically the Manali Leh highway is not open until 15th july however private vehicles can use the road and the Himachal Tourism board do a one day tour up to the
pass daily. We paid the R250 each and got marched round the corner to the waiting bus. To be fair it was a crap looking deluxe bus but what's new there and without exception there were people sitting in our seats, it felt like we had boarded any old shitter for a gruelling public spectical of why oh why have we bothered.
About half an hour later we stopped at a roadside jacket hire stall. We were told the pass was very cold so anyone wearing sari's and flip flops were advised to kit themselves out in a fake fur coat and wellington boats. I picked an old knackered looking coat and No did the same and boarded the bus. The first annoyance of the day was we were told the coats were R50 then they magically turned out to be R100, a bit rude when we saw locals handing over R20. We were slightly pissed off however we're well used to being singled out now and the mood was soon forgotten when the bus came to a halt, switched off its engine and the driver got out of the bus.
No speculated the reason we stopped was
From The Bottom Up
to allow us to get used to the height (all of 3000m) however this idea was soon plopped on when after an hour and a half of sitting there the bus started the engine and drove 100m and stopped again. People were getting out their cars, wandering around and yes unfortunately we all had to use the small thin bushes to urinate around as the jam was a stayer. Having once driven an eighty mile a day communte I can tell when queues are movable and when they are not and this one was awful. A moment of cheer came when we saw the army coming up the road with a great big winch however three hours later the cheer had morfed into feelings of suicside. We persisted with it for five and a half hours, if you can believe, imagining having to sleep on the mountain side soon made us flag down a local bus heading back to Manali.
Annoyed at having not seen the pass but more relieved we actually got out of the traffic jam with our santity we decided to give Leh a miss. The government don't open the road until 15th july for a reason, and we discovered a day later that our delay was due to snow melt and early monsoon which had washed away part of the road. Apparently the road had been like this for days and Himanchal Tourism were still taking people up there on tours knowing this, what arseholes. We didn't get a refund for the trip, not exactly a surprise, money comes first and unfortunately customer service and people's welfare is way down on the list.

Project by jjw5858 | posted 306 days ago | 1363 views | 6 times favorited | 12 comments |
Thank you for taking a look at this recent project of mine. This is my version of a Japanese gift box. It measures just about 4" wide by 9" long by 2" high.
Made from scrap Pine using only traditional hand tools.
I wanted to keep this piece looking natural so I only used BLO to pop the grain a bit and some Pine shavings for inside decoration.
The joinery is a combination of Brad nails, wooden nails and glue. It is a really fun box to make and I thank Mads for bringing this fun idea to my attention about a year back.
Thanks so much for taking a look and of course if you are new to viewing my work please visit me at my website:

Robbie Keane has hit the top of the league in America – and got one over on French World Cup cheat Thierry Henry.
New figures released on Monday show that Keane is now the highest earner in the MLS with a salary of $4million at the LA Galaxy.
He has moved ahead of Henry in the money league and tops the rankings after David Beckham's move to Paris.
In reality Keane earns even more than the figure released by the MLS Players' Union on Monday as that is just his base figure and doesn't include sponsorship or bonuses.
Red Bill striker Henry, whose Hand of God goal cheated Ireland in the 2010 World Cup play-offs, has seen his salary fall to $3.75 million from $5 million a season ago.
Yahoo sports says that Henry's guaranteed compensation, which takes into account guaranteed bonuses annualized over the course of a player's contract, is a league-high $4.35 million. Keane's guaranteed compensation is a shade less at $4,333,333.33.
Yahoo reports that Keane and Henry are two of eight players in the league making seven figures in base salary. The others are Henry's teammate Tim Cahill ($3.5 million); Keane's teammate Landon Donovan ($2.5 million); Seattle Sounders new signing Obafemi Martins ($1.6 million); injured Toronto FC striker Danny Koevermans ($1.25 million); Vancouver Whitecaps forward Kenny Miller ($1,114,992) and Montreal Impact striker Marco Di Vaio ($1,000,008).

This Lady sings the Blues and plays them better than most
For one so young Joanne Shaw Taylor is not only treat as an equal in what might be the most snobbish of musical genres but genuinely revered by many much older guitarists and this, her third album could well be the one that attracts the ears of Big League Promoters across the Atlantic Ocean.
Joanne's last album; DIAMONDS IN THE DIRT was generally perceived to be 'career defining' but ALMOST ALWAYS NEVER actually starts where that album left off and with the aid of some excellent production work from Mike McCarthy; Joanne Shaw Taylor throws down a gauntlet to the rest of the burgeoning British Blues-Rock scene.
Soul Station which opens the album has all the hallmarks of a timeless classic and Beautifully Broken which follows is a breathy heartbreaker with a Rhodes organ complimenting the nicely choppy guitar breaks before Shaw-Taylor slides in her own trademark fluid solos.
While Joanne was originally billed as a 'teenage guitar prodigy' it's her maturing vocals on ALMOST ALWAYS NEVER that have impressed me the most; although her guitar playing is still astounding! On this album she sounds as if she could have been the offspring of an illicit union between Rory Gallagher and Maggie Bell as her voice has a lived-in richness to it that is perfect for the Blues, but it's also clear and smooth enough to cross over onto the commercial radio stations.
Several songs are definitely strong enough for radio play with her version of Frankie Miller's Jealousy being absolutely perfect for a late night when you've had one to many alcoholic beverages as it will induce even the toughest of masculine souls to shed a tear.
Tied and Bound isn't as risqué as the title might suggest but a tale of a shattered romance and Shaw Taylor appears to make her guitar growl during the choruses, which is really impressive.
ALMOST ALWAYS NEVER has been a pleasant surprise as I didn't expect this daughter of the Black Country to be able to match the heady heights she achieved only two years ago with DIAMOND IN THE DIRT but; after repeated listening in and out of the car I think she's actually surpassed that award winning album.
I totally agree, it is really a great album and the two tracks you mentioned "Jealously" and "Tied" stood out for me, too, as dfd the interplay with the organist!

Notre Dame Pushes Back Against M.S.U.
By Paul Myerberg // Sep 16, 2012
Earlier this summer, I wrote of Notre Dame's ability to "push back" against more physical opponents – in the widescreen view, I wrote of Notre Dame's quest for a tougher mentality, a sort of rediscovery of the bullying, confident mindset that propelled the program for generations. I thought that the Irish were close; I thought that under the surface, behind the negativity, the program had made clear and steady progress in nearly every facet of the game. No one game can possibly encapsulate this idea more so than Notre Dame's dominating victory over Michigan State.

No. 7: Michigan State
By Paul Myerberg // Aug 28, 2012
Last fall, Michigan State beat Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan in the same season for only the second time in program history; the first, in 1987, came during the Spartans' last outright Big Ten title. Rare? Beating all three of those conference rivals in one year is as rare as 11-win seasons, of which the Spartans have two in as many years. But none before 2010, a point that the rest of the Big Ten pointed out with glee prior to Michigan State's current resurgence under Mark Dantonio. Now, after 22 wins over two years, those same rivals have only questions: How have the Spartans done it? How can we copy it? The simple answer: Take a system, add a serious heaping of patience and throw in a helpful dash of senior leadership. Add more patience. Wait, and don't watch: it'll never boil, or something to that end. And now that the Spartans have lost last year's senior leaders — along with a number of other key contributors — the program has a question of its own: Can we maintain this sort of pace without our stars? Again, it's time to have faith in the system.

After Dark in the Park Video Archives - May 25 2010
Hawai`i Island as a Source of Tsunamis During large earthquakes, the flanks of Hawai`i's great volcanoes, pushed outward by gravity and magma pressure, sometimes lurch seaward. Large earthquakes, similar to the one in Kalapana in 1975, can produce tsunami waves more than 45 feer high. Join Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, to learn how local tsunamis form and how the PTWC intends to send a warning within minutes. Learn about mega-tsunamis, produce by gigantic landslides and reaching as high as a thousand feet, and why they're unlikely until after the next ice age.

Large volumes of lava move in lava tubes beneath the hardened surface of recent flows. Skylights form when the roof of a lava tube collapses, revealing the molten lava flowing like a river within the tube.


text: The Hamas War On Palestinian Rivals(Updated February 3, 2009)Since Hamas's bloody takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007, the organization has not only terrorized Israeli towns but has also abused and murdered fellow Palestinians. When Israel began Operation Cast Lead on December 27, 2008, Hamas leaders launched a campaign to rid Gaza of any and all dissidents. Palestinian sources reported that Hamas has killed or seriously wounded dozens of Gazans, predominantly members of Fatah who were accused of "collaborating" with Israel. Hamas leaders have confirmed the executions of several dozen citizens, stating that the collaborators had admitted to giving intelligence information to Israel's Shin Bet. Hamas was also enraged by Fatah's supposed joy at the start of Israel's operation. Executions of collaborators were done in secret along the Egyptian border. After the killings, relatives of the victims were called to claim the bodies. Palestinian sources report that during the three weeks of the Israeli operation in Gaza, Hamas forces were sent out to catch Fatah members breaking their house arrest. One Fatah man was shot and killed in front of his children for taking one step outside of his house. The Palestinian daily newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, reported on a Gazan girl whose father was killed by Hamas gunmen. Additionally, Hamas shot and wounded nine other members of her family including several children. Those alleged Fatah "collaborators" who were not killed were shot in the legs, mafia style, so they could not run to Israeli forces. Hamas also confined rivals to their houses and beat Fatah members. Hamas escalated its attacks on fellow Palestinians after Israel called a unilateral cease-fire on January 18, 2009. According to some Fatah sources, nearly 100 Fatah activists were killed after the cease-fire was declared. Other Fatah members have claimed that the number of dead is much lower. Hamas leaders have also arrested hundreds of Fatah members and have set up makeshift interrogation and torture centers in hospitals and schools in Gaza. Detainees have reportedly been tortured and blinded. Other Palestinians have been shot in the streets and kidnapped. Hamas leaders denied that these executions and torture methods took place but stated that they would be rounding up Israel "collaborators" in Gaza for prosecution. Hamas fears that Fatah will try and return to power in the Gaza Strip. A spokesman for Hamas, Taher al-Nunu claimed that not one Fatah member had been killed but then remarked that perhaps lower level Hamasniks were "settling scores" with Fatah members or family members of other clans and that Hamas would be looking into any attacks. On February 2, Fatah officials produced a public plea to international aid organizations which asked them to report truthfully on Hamas's violent attacks. Accompanying this plea was a published list of names of the 181 Fatah members and relatives who had been executed, badly beaten or shot in the legs by Hamas gangs. This was the first list of its kind regarding this intrafada as both Fatah and Hamas officials had been trying to keep the fighting of their members under wraps. Arab news stations have also reported on the violence. Al Jazeera television interviewed PLO Executive Committee Secretary Yasser Abd Rabbo who accused Hamas members of patrolling Gaza like "packs of animals" in order to find and execute suspected collaborators. They also confirmed that Hamas has organized makeshift prisons and interrogation centers in hospitals and schools around Gaza and that Hamas operatives are indeed stealing food and medical supplies from humanitarian aid trucks and distributing them to fellow members. According to Hamas sources, Fatah and the Palestinian Authority are mimicking Hamas tactics in the West Bank. The sources claim that hundreds of Hamas supporters have been beaten, abused and arrested in the West Bank, particularly in Hebron. Some claim that these alleged abuses are a retaliation to Hamas's mistreatment of Fatah members in Gaza. Another interpretation is that the Palestinian Authority is making arrests of any dissidents of the PA's practices. Anger has swept over both Hamas and Fatah sympathizers as a result of Israel's operation in Gaza. Fatah maintains that Hamas is to blame for the damage caused by the Israeli incursion into the Gaza Strip. Hamas, however, remains bitter towards Fatah because Fatah members did not help to fight off Israeli troops during the three-week operation. On Thursday, January 22, both Hamas and Fatah called for political unity in an effort to promote peace for the sake of a future Palestinian state. While supposedly calling for "unity", Hamas maintained that it wanted sole control in the Gaza Strip. On January 26, a Palestinian Authority court sentenced another Palestinian "collaborator" to death - its eighth death sentence in the past two months. None of these sentences have been carried out because they are awaiting Mahmoud Abbas's approval which he has yet to give. Hamas leaders are threatening to carry out the executions with or without Abbas's okay. One day before, however, an alleged collaborator was executed by Hamas. The man, Haidar Ghanem, was a Palestinian reporter who worked for the human rights organization, B'Ttselem. Ghanem was originally sentenced to death by a PA court in 2002 for leaking information to Israel, but his sentence was never carried out. After supposedly giving information to Israel again during Operation Cast Lead, Hamas leaders took it upon themselves to carry out Ghanem's execution, offering him no additional trial. On January 29, Hamas was accused of killing a Palestinian teacher, Osama Atallah, who was a Fatah supporter. He was allegedly arrested by Hamas gunmen and was then tortured, strangled and shot with bullets. Hamas forces later denied that they had taken Atallah into custody at all. A History of IntrafadaFatah has also played the role of persecuter in the Gaza Strip as well as in the West Bank. Various intrafadas have claimed the lives of thousands of Palestinians both militant and civilian. During the intrafada in 2007 - the battles between Hamas and Fatah to acquire power in Gaza - 163 Palestinians were killed. Of this number, 41 were civilians and two were children who found themselves in the line of fire. This was also not the first case of Palestinian in-fighting. By the end of the first intifada, which began in December 1987, the number of Palestinians murdered by their fellow Palestinians exceeded the number of Palestinians who died in clashes with Israeli soldiers. Yasser Arafat's PLO officially executed 118 Palestinians who were thought to be collaborating with Israel. By the end of the first intifada, nearly 1,000 Palestinians had died by the hand of their own people. Hamas's official takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007 did not stop the internecine battles. In July of 2008, a senior leader of Hamas, Bilal Abu Takiyeh, killed his own brother because he belonged to Fatah. Hamas continued to prosecute and imprison or execute Fatah members on grounds of treason. Individual operatives often did not wait for a trial and carried out summary executions. Fatah and Hamas have in the past set off bombs in each other's cars and houses and made sweeping arrests in both Gaza and the Abbas-run West Bank. Armed forces have kidnapped members from both sides. They have accused each other of "colluding" with Israel to gain political power. They have shot each other in the streets of Gaza's city center and pushed each other from rooftops of high rise buildings. The Palestinian groups behave much like mafia families and engage in ruthless warfare for dominance. The recent bloodletting among the "families" in Gaza is likely only to escalate the mob war.
