New Controversial Natural Health Blog Challenges Mainstream Medicine
HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new website, www.Ohealth.com, tackles controversial topics relating to alternative medicine. The majority of the site's information goes against mainstream medicine and covers our current healthcare system, natural and organic health, and environmental toxins. An accumulation of toxins in the body is what Dr. Edward F. Group III, founder and CEO of Global Healing Center, calls the "root cause of disease."
Toxicity is defined on two levels, internal and environmental. Internal toxicity refers to toxins accumulated within the body that cause distress, disturbance, and disease. Environmental toxins are harmful agents found in our home and workplace that the majority of people are being exposed to.
Although the current medical establishment often ignores, or even dismisses, the role toxins play in causing disease, Dr. Group is confident once readers are better informed about internal and environmental toxicity, they will choose to make body cleansing, an organic diet, and exercise integral components of their personal health and wellness lifestyle.
Ohealth.com boldly discusses the paramount importance of regular body detoxification and cleansing of vital organs such as the colon, the liver, and the lungs. The site often takes a dissenting position against the established medical community and focuses on providing readers with tools in the form of fact and insight that will equip them to take ownership of their own healthcare.Dr. Group said the motivation to start the site was his desire to provide readers with current information on organic and natural health, which they can use on a daily basis to improve their health. "The articles we publish are fresh, consistent, and cover a broad range of topics." Dr. Group views this as a direct response to an increasing demand for solid tips and suggestions for transitioning to an organic, natural, and truly GREEN lifestyle.

(186) Diptyque - Figuier
Autumn is definitely here the last week in Paris has been wet and miserable. I'm usually out in the evenings with my friends in this gorgeous city but tonight I've traded that to snuggle under my duvet and catch up on my TV shows. I have one of my all time favourite candles burning Diptyque - Figuier the scent to me is Autumn, It's fresh and reminds me of the outdoors and the rain. There's something really warm and mysterious about Figuier. My friend Florence bought this for me on her recent visit to Paris as a housewarming gift, it came at such a great time as my last one had just finished. I love Diptyque - the candles, the fragrances and the room sprays. I have to admit the store in Saint-Paul, Le Marais is one of my favourite places it smells divine. There's something about being in Paris and burning a Diptyque candle that makes me feel so Parisian.
Check out some of their gorgeous candles HERE.
Lots of Love

BATON ROUGE - Playing at home for the final time this weekend, the Southern baseball team gave the fans at Lee Hines Stadium reason to cheer, winning game two of a Saturday doubleheader after dropping the first.
Southern fell 6-3 in game one, but staved off a late Grambling rally in the second to win 6-5 in 10 innings.
The two teams will meet for the final time in the regular season Sunday at 1:00 pm.
The Jaguars are holding out hope they still might be able to sneak into the SWAC tournament as the last seed.

Kirby Corporation Completes The Purchase Of Allied Transportation Company's Coastal Fleet
HOUSTON, Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kirby Corporation ("Kirby") (NYSE:KEX) announced today the completion of the previously disclosed purchase of 13 barges and seven tugboats from Allied Transportation Company, a subsidiary of Allied Marine Industries, and two affiliated companies. The fleet of offshore barges and tugboats participates in the coastal transportation of petrochemicals, as well as dry sugar products, in the Northeast, Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions of the United States. The purchase price was $116 million in cash, before post-closing adjustments, including $10 million that will be paid contingent on developments with the sugar provisions in the U.S. Farm Bill. The purchase was financed using Kirby's revolving credit facility.
The fleet consists of 10 coastal tank barges with a total capacity of 680,000 barrels, three offshore dry-bulk barges with a total capacity of 48,000 deadweight tons, and seven coastal tugboats. Ninety percent of the tank barges are under term contracts with large petrochemical customers. The barge fleet will be integrated with Kirby's existing coastal and offshore barge operations.
Kirby Corporation, based in
Houston, Texas, is the nation's largest domestic tank barge operator, transporting bulk liquid products throughout the Mississippi River System, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, coastwise along all three
United States coasts and in
Alaska and Hawaii. Kirby transports petrochemicals, black oil products, refined petroleum products and agricultural chemicals by tank barge. Through the diesel engine services segment, Kirby provides after-market service for medium-speed and high-speed diesel engines and reduction gears used in marine and power generation applications. Kirby also distributes and services high-speed diesel engines, transmissions, pumps, compression products and manufactures and remanufactures oilfield service equipment, including pressure pumping units, for the land-based pressure pumping and oilfield service markets.

Getting back to burgers, here is what I like doing
adding a little butter to the beef mix adds a nice flavor/texture. I started using this Italian Buffalo milk butter. a little more rustic and less "greasy" in flavor.
I usually let the meat* sit for about half hour to an hour at room temperature before cooking.
As far as seasoning unless you are able to cook at really high heat (broiler, or burning hot cast iron) most seasoning will hurt the taste, or in case of salt, bring out the liquids. I always use a flat surface for cooking, so the burger stays in its juices. (grill like pans should be avoided)
I prefer to use bacon/ duck fat for cooking, or fat from pancetta. Other alternatives are grape seed oil, high quality corn oil, or slightly blended avocado oil (add some light olive oil to it)
Get a nice brown on the outside so it seals the juices. Then in a small dish add a little butter with the seasoning of your choice and melt in the microwave.
drip a little on the browned side, let the other size cook, flip and pour on the "unseasoned" side, let settle for few seconds and flip again for few seconds.
for the buns/bread- spread a thin layer of mayo (very thin) and coat with a your choice of a grated cheese. grill for a few seconds with w.e butter mix left
toss a squirt of water on the pan and quickly cover with a bowl to steam the bun.
* I like using lower fat meat mixture like 90-93, so the added butter/fat wont create something terribly unhealthy.
Also browning doesnt seal in juices. Shit is old news. More moisture is lost when meat is browned than when it is not. Old wives tale.
Grills are superior because the juices that fall below become smoke and provide that meaty char smoke flavor. Griddles dont do this. Myrvold wrote an article on this when his book was published a year or two ago
The only counter argument i see is that sous vide makes uniform texture while griddle makes more of a gradient. Which you can still compensate with sous vide by setting the temperature of the water bath and griddle lower
Oh god.
Salting denatures proteins in and on the cells on the surface of the meat which creates a matrix less permeable to water trapping moisture inside. The water you see is just from the surface cells. Internal cells maintain greater moisture.
You need salt. Maybe not pepper but salted meat is superior to raw meat. Flavor and moisture wise.

Just make sure you salt right when it's going on the grill/griddle and not much before, since salt breaks down the proteins of the meat and "ruins" the texture
Fryers give the best crust
or blowtorches
or flamethrowers
or volcanos
or hell
what I'm saying is just that "what gives the best crust" is probably the most subjective question when it comes to hamburgers

Smashed burgers... I like em.
If I had a sausage grinder, I'd try out the Heston Blumenthal method. anyone done this?
For buns, I like ciabatta, foccaccia, or hollowed out small Portuguese water bread. Anything with some chew.
I'm talking burgers now, not steaks.
If you salt minced meat ahead of when you're cooking the burgers, or work the salt in (by kneading) it breaks down the proteins and turns the burger from a tender stack of fibres into a "consistent"(probably not the right word but hopefully you get what I mean) piece of meat similar to the pre-made burgers you can buy at grocery-stores, which really isn't something you want to do to your meat when making burgers.
With steaks it's a whole other matter since the meat is already "consistent" and so the salt just dries it out, without ruining it
Haven't tried it myself, but everyone I've read about who have tried it say that while the result certainly isn't bad, it just isn't worth the extra work

Chittagong Vegetable Oil Industries Ltd. was established as a Private Limited Company as per Registration No.C-13342/919 dated 9-12-1984 and later on it was converted into a Public Limited Company under the Chairmanship of Alhaj Md Yunus, B.A. FM with his sons and daughters as Directors and Sponsors. The company started commercial operation by producing and marketing Phulcopy brand Soyabean Oil which gained much popularity amongst the edible oil consumers .
Side by Side the Sponsors of the company had been running their original Petrol and Lubricants business through a Petrol Pump set up long before 50 years with Tank Lorries. After running the edible oil factory for continuous 6(six) years with satisfactory profit result and giving dividends to the shareholders a set back appeared in the edible oil producing and marketing business due to increase of raw material price i,e crude oil in the international market and also sporadic growth of other edible oil factories whereby the company had to undergo continuous loss.

Buried in the footnotes of a statement on the latest appointments to the Bank of England's Court, was this tidbit: Read more
Astonishingly, it has been more than six years in coming. But the Federal Reserve Board finally got its full complement of seven governors on Wednesday after Jeremy Stein was sworn in.
Mr Stein's appointment comes shortly after that of Jerome Powell last Friday and follows years of wrangling among senators over who should fill the board's vacant seats.
Both Mr Stein and Mr Powell will now be able to vote in the Federal Open Market Committee's policy meetings, the next of which falls on June 19 and 20. That means the Fed board, which tends to back the chairman, will hold the seven of the FOMC's 12 votes.
The delay in returning the Fed board to its full complement owes much to the nomination process becoming far more partisan in recent years.
It speaks volumes about the degree of partisanship that the two most recent appointees come from different ends of the political spectrum; Mr Stein is a Democrat, Mr Powell a Republican.
Unfortunately for the Fed board, it also means that the central bank could soon find itself short of its full complement for another extended period. Read more
Mario Draghi says the European Central Bank's "strong preference" is for Greece to stay in the eurozone. No doubt that's because of all the Greek bonds on its balance sheet, right?
The value of those bonds is probably the least of the ECB's worries if Greece exits. The biggie would be handling the contagion.
The ECB does, however, have substantial holdings of Greek government bonds, along with other Greek assets, which in all likelihood would become worthless if Greece does leave.
How big are the holdings? Read more

Fascinated by the Target2 debate, but your obsession hasn't quite reached the levels where you're willing to keep a beady eye fixed on all of the seventeen national central banks' balance sheets?
Help is at hand in the form of this handy graphic and Excel file (last updated yesterday) pulled together by a team at Institute of Empirical Economic Research at the University of Osnabrück in Germany (hat tip to David Marsh at OMFIF for the link): Read more
Mario Draghi flew direct from Wednesday night's Brussels summit to Rome, where he gave a lecture in honour of Federico Caffè, a celebrated Keynesian economist under whom he studied.
His main message was the need for eurozone politicians to come up with a vision for the union's future. But he also admitted that his university thesis was sceptical about the idea of a single currency area. Read more
David Miles, the only one of the Monetary Policy Committee's nine members to call for more money printing at the past two votes, has given an interesting speech today.
The speech presents the case for doing more based in part on the view that, if the MPC continues to do nothing, or — worse still — tightens policy, then this could destroy the UK economy's productive capacity and, hence, its ability to grow at the pace seen before the financial crisis. Read more
Now that inflation is at a two-year low and the governor can put his best letter-writing pen to one side, should the Bank of England consider doing more to boost the UK economy?
The IMF certainly thinks so.
Today the Fund said the Monetary Policy Committee should print more money and cut the policy rate below 0.5 per cent. This, they argued, would lower yields further out on the curve, which in turn would lower businesses' borrowing costs.
The Fund also said the Bank should consider buying assets other than government bonds in order to revive the UK's beleaguered mortgage market and counter tough conditions for businesses. An LTRO-style operation was another option.
Will the Bank follow the IMF's advice? The MPC might well plump for more QE in the coming months. But, in the short term at least, it is very unlikely to pursue the other measures. Read more
Did the Bundesbank last week try to stop life-saving emergency liquidity assistance for Greece's banks? That would be a reasonable interpretation of noises from Germany's central bank — and suggests a dangerous game is being played out in Frankfurt.
The Financial Times reported on Tuesday how at least some Greece banks are being kept alive by about €100bn in "emergency liquidity assistance", a facility meant to be used only by banks in the direst of need. The massive demand followed the ECB's decision to exclude four Greek banks from its regular liquidity providing operations because of uncertainty over their future financial strength. Read more

Google Ad Exchange Director Reese Talks Exchange Data, Publisher Tools
AdExchanger.com spoke to Google's Lexi Reese, director, DoubleClick Ad Exchange, about the whitepaper (PDF) which offers insights about publishers using Google's DoubleClick Ad Exchange within the past year. (Google's Neal Mohan formally announced the whitepaper on the Google blog here. Interview with Mohan by PaidContent's David Kaplan is here.) Also, Reese discussed new category blocking tools and private ad slots for publishers available through the Exchange.
The key finding in the paper, according to Google, is that when DoubleClick Ad Exchange wins the auction in the publishers' ad servers, publishers make 188% more revenue compared to "fixed upfront pre-negotiated sales of non-guaranteed inventory."
Reese said that part of what's driving the revenue is the increase in data-driven buying with 60% of ad exchange buying real-time bidding-enabled, which translates into a tripling of RTB'd inventory.
Unsurprisingly, Google remains very positive about the impact on a publisher's P&L with the Ad Exchange.
AdExchanger.com: How does the increase in real-time buying translate in terms of number of impressions per day?
LR: We're still not talking about the actual number of impressions or dollar figures but we have 100s of publishers and 1000s of buyers including AdSense. The growth is coming from both the number of buyers and sellers on the Exchange and the amount of inventory being transacted.
Can you speak to CPMs and how CPMs are trending from the last study (PDF)?
You can presume that, generally, if revenue is going up, CPMs are going up. I don't have an apples-to-apples to the last study.
The methodology of how we conducted the research is important. Since the middle of last year we have been recording what would the impressions have sold at if the exchange had not won the auction. Also, it's important to note that Google's economist, Hal Varian, has been involved in the study and vetted it over the course of the last several months.
The phrase in the whitepaper about "fixed upfront pre-negotiated sales of non-guaranteed inventory" seems like an oxymoron. What does that mean?
It includes any impression for which the exchange is allowed to compete. So anything that is booked at a priority level equal to or lower than the exchange in a publisher's ad server directly would be included in the study such as directly booked ad network deals, if you're working with a third-party to manage your inventory, [and so on]. As long as they were at or lower than the priority level of DoubleClick Ad Exchange, they were included in the study.
Can you talk about the increased number of categories that can now be blocked through the DoubleClick Ad Exchange?
Premium publishers have a lot of business rules. We needed to refine our category targeting so publishers could feel secure about the advertisements that appear on their sites. You can expect over the next several months more tools for publishers so they take can take control of ads on their sites.
Can you envision a day when publishers will be able to set CPMs across the contextual categories you offer them?
I can envision a day when we have finally ticked off every way a publisher wants to surface inventory on the Exchange and we are prioritizing those needs according to the ones publisher want most. That's definitely one that's been mentioned. I'm not sure it's the highest priority, but we want to hear what is most important to publishers, so please feel free to comment on this post.
Why the need for the browser toolbar for publishers?
We want to do as much proactively for publishers so they only see ads they want to see on their site. With so much demand coming through our system, we also want to be smart about people getting tools that allow them to take ads off their site as quickly as possible. This is somcthing that publishers had been asking for.
Regarding private ad slots, this is a product that is reminiscent of the private exchange idea that is proliferating right now. Is that an appropriate analogy?
I think it's an apt analogy in that [private ad slots] enable publishers to offer their inventory in a way that they feel most comfortable with. For example, it can be a certain category of advertisers, or advertisers that they want to white-list -that's what the private ad slot enables them to do.

One Response to "Google Ad Exchange Director Reese Talks Exchange Data, Publisher Tools"
The key finding - 'with Adx....publishers make 188% more revenue compared to "fixed upfront pre-negotiated sales of non-guaranteed inventory.' Is this really a key finding? When a publisher uses DFP and prioritizes ad at or below AdX (DFP prioritizes numerically from 8 (highest priority) to 15 (lowest priority)), AdX generates a higher yield. Isn't this like announcing 3 is a bigger number than 2? Of course, a higher priority will generate a higher yield. That's what's supposed to happen.

Will the recent killing of terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq bring any change in the number of suicide bombings going on in that country? When it comes to the Iraq war, our press pretty much toes the official government line, so we need to look to the UK for answers to that question.
Who was al-Zarqawi, anyway? Patrick Cockburn writes in the Independent that he was, to a large extent, our creation?the creation of a government looking for a reason to invade Iraq. Before the invasion, he was a "little-known Jordanian petty criminal turned Islamic fundamentalist fanatic until he was denounced by the US in 2003 as an insurgent leader of great importance. This enabled him to recruit men and raise money to wage a cruel war, mostly against Iraqi civilians. In a macabre innovation, he staged beheadings of Western hostages such as Ken Bigley which were then uploaded to the internet to ensure maximum publicity."
His weapon of choice was a young man who could be convinced to become a suicide bomber. These youths usually came from outside of Iraq and their targets were not Western soldiers?they were mostly out-of-work Iraqis who were standing in line to interview for jobs as policemen.
According to Cockburn, the irony is that "among those most pleased by his elimination may be the other insurgent leaders." He quotes Iraqi journalist Ghassan al-Attiyah as saying, "He was an embarrassment to the resistance itself. They never liked him taking all the limelight and the Americans exaggerated his role."
A secular Sunni, he made the killing Shiites his demented goal, and he certainly killed more of them than the Coalition ever did. And he kept doing so right up until the end: last week he released an audio tape urging his fellow Sunnis to kill Shiites.
Cockburn writes, "Zarqawi owed his rise to the US in two ways. His name was unknown until he was denounced on 5 February 2003 by Colin Powell, who was the US Secretary of State, before the UN Security Council as the link between Saddam Hussein and al-Qa'ida. There turned out to be no evidence for this connection and Zarqawi did not at this time belong to al-Qa'ida. But Mr Powell's denunciation made him a symbol of resistance to the US across the Muslim world. It also fitted with Washington's political agenda that attacking Iraq was part of the war on terror.
"The invasion gave Zarqawi a further boost. Within months of the overthrow of Saddam Hussein the whole five-million-strong Sunni Arab community in Iraq appeared united in opposition to the occupation. Cheering crowds gathered every time a US soldier was shot or an American vehicle blown up. Armed resistance was popular and for the first time Sunni militants [and] religious fundamentalists demonstrating their faith by religious war or jihad had a bedrock of support in Iraq. Osama bin Laden and his fighters never had this degree of acceptance in Afghanistan and were forced to hire local tribesmen to take part in their propaganda videos?No sooner was Saddam captured than the US spokesmen began to mention Zarqawi's name in every sentence. 'If the weather is bad they will blame it on Zarqawi,' an Iraqi journalist once said to me.
"It emerged earlier this year that the US emphasis on Zarqawi as the prime leader of the Iraqi resistance was part of a carefully calculated propaganda program. A dubious letter from Zarqawi was conveniently discovered. One internal briefing document quoted by The Washington Post records Brigadier General Kimmitt, the chief US military spokesman at the time, as saying: 'The Zarqawi psy-op program is the most successful information campaign to date.' The US campaign was largely geared towards the American public and above all the American voter. It was geared to proving that the invasion of Iraq was a reasonable response to the 9/11 attacks. This meant it was necessary to show al-Qa'ida was strong in Iraq and play down the fact that this had only happened after the invasion?Zarqawi's war was devised to have the maximum political impact. There was the beheading of foreign captives shown on videos and broadcast via the internet. He was an enemy to America's liking. Though US military officials in Baghdad openly admitted that few insurgents were non-Iraqi, Zarqawi's Jordanian origins were useful in suggesting that the insurrection was orchestrated from outside Iraq."

The companies behind them typically charge pensions savers fees of around 20% of their total pension fund for setting up the arrangement, but some take as much as 50%. Those who use the schemes are also liable for a retrospective tax bill of 40% of their funds, a fact that is not always made clear by the pensions liberation companies involved. The total charges can sometimes wipe out almost all of the remaining value of the pension.

He��s sharp and has a good outswinger. I was standing at mid-on and trying to help him a bit. He was helping me a bit in this game too. I think he��s a very mature cricketer. And it��s good to see he can hit some sixes too! I enjoyed it from the other end.

Ask the Book Doctor: About Tips on Writing for Magazines
Q: I am new to writing professionally and would like to write magazine articles, but I have trouble starting the first paragraph. Can you give me some tips on starting an article? Can you give me any other tips that may be helpful?
A: No matter what we write, almost all writers have difficulty with the opening paragraph, so I advise writers to start anywhere. Just dive in; don't worry about what to say first, just plow through and write the information you want the article to impart. The first draft is simply a draft, anyway.
During the revision stage, manipulate the information into a logical correct order and add good transitions from one subject to the next or add subheads to break up the information. While you read through what you have written, you may find a paragraph that, slightly revised and moved to the front, will make the perfect opening. You may even find that your conclusion is good, and if you write an opening paragraph that hints at the conclusion, the article will be circular, returning, in essence, to information stated in the beginning. Great openings rarely come to writers during the first draft. They are best left for discovery during the rewrite, so don't worry about the details of the opening until the revision.
Also during the revision be sure that the article contains all five W's of journalism (who, how, why, what, where, and when), but for the opening, remember that some of those points are less interesting than others. People like to read about people, so the best leads include "who," if possible. For example, examine the following two openings for a hypothetical article:
Note that the first opening paraphrases the quotations, whereas the second opening uses a person and quotations to get the attention of readers. The first opening tells, rather than shows. The first opening uses "when and what" as the opening information, a news style that gets to the point but does not engage the reader the way a magazine article should. The second version starts with "who" and engages readers visually. They can envision the woman shaking her head in front of a mirror. Always lead with the most interesting points in magazine articles, whenever possible.
My other tips involve following the trend of the specific magazine you are writing for. To discover this information, obtain and study one or more issues of the magazine before you submit anything. Make notes on the following details:
Anything you can do to make an editor's life easier will make you a treasured freelancer and one more likely to get assignments and acceptances.

We all hear about India's budget around this time of the year, every single year. The word 'Budget' actually evolved from the French word 'Bougette', which means purse. A financial plan that projects income, expenditure and revenues for a set period of time; every year, a budget is declared in India, typically by the end of February. In 2012, Pranab Mukherjee, the former Finance Minister and the current president of India, had introduced the Union Budget of India on the 16th of March 2012, which happened to be the seventh budget of his career. It was also the 81st budget in the history of India. This year, it will be presented by Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram in the Parliament before it takes effect on the 1st of April.

- Basic customs duty reduced for certain agricultural equipment and their parts. Full exemption from basic customs duty for import of equipment for expansion or setting up of fertilizer projects upto March 31, 2015.
- The agriculture sector has been growing at a steady pace since last year and hence, it is positive for this year's budget. Certain moves such as raising the agricultural credit and introducing a short term agricultural credit refinance fund worked well for farmers. However, the mere pumping of credit did not result in an increased agricultural output. Certain investments had to be made into other supporting services as well.
Social Sector:
- Despite the financial constraints, considerable efforts were put into the realization of inclusive development. Additional budget resources positively met the needs of the poor and bridged the gaps in the development of social infrastructure. The budget paid good attention to skill development. This helped improve education and in turn contributed to the economic development. Furthermore, school education was also exempted from service tax.
- The move to execute public-private partnerships brought about a fast paced change in the infrastructure scenario of the country. Proposed allocation to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highway boosted the logistics and transportation sector. Considerable attention was also paid to the development of rural infrastructure which helped in the indirect development of the agricultural sector.
Banking Sector:
- Firm support to the capital base of banks boosted the credit and development of the banking sector. Better credit flow to most important sectors encouraged and supported overall fiscal growth in 2013. Strengthening of financial institutions helped them in maintaining their minimum capital. Interest subvention and better credit schemes were provided to farmers and this helped them repay their loans on time, thus ensuring smooth financial operations in banks. In terms of foreign investment, participation of foreign entities was encouraged greatly.
- Income tax exemption benefited individuals considerably. However, service tax was increased and this resulted in higher service tax charges. Tax exemption in a lot of other areas was also introduced.
- The permit to use input tax credits in various hospitality services eliminated the cascading effect of taxes. It also brought down the operating costs of travel operators, thus increasing their marginal profits. The over impact, however, was not seen to be very considerable.
Media & Entertainment:
- Entertainment and amusement taxes were exempted from service tax and this boosted the development of this sector. The overall impact was marginally positive for this sector.
Automobile Manufacturing Sector:
- The effect of budget 2012 -13 in this sector was pretty much neutral. Vehicle price hikes and the increase in custom duty of large passenger vehicles led to an increase in excise duties, but it did not have any significant impact on the sale of cars. Reduction of excise duties on hybrid cars made them affordable, thus encouraging their sales. The development in this sector and the development of infrastructure went hand in hand.
Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare:
- 200% weight deduction in pharmaceutical R&D brought about some changes in the sector, boosting the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in India. On the other hand, the price of raw materials hiked due to an excise duty hike. In terms of healthcare, there was improvement in the rural as well as the urban sector. Investments in hospitals increased with an enhanced rate of deduction linked to capital expenditure.

Matt Chico has been officially taken off the disabled list as he was optioned to AA-Harrisburg last night.
The Lefty underwent reconstructive Tommy John surgery last July after a disappointing 2008 campaign.
The 25-year-old went 0-6 with a 6.19 ERA in eight starts last year to start the season. Chico was shut down in late May 2008.
The Nats are hoping he can regain his 2007 form where as a rookie he made 31 starts and posted a respectable 4.63, not bad for a then 24-year-old.
The good news for Chico is there is no rush for him to return. The Nats are pretty well endowed in the starting pitching category, so he can take as much time as he needs to regain command of his fastball and off-speed pitches, pump up his velocity, and most importantly gain confidence.
There is really no way to know if Chico will ever be the same pitcher again. Tommy John surgery has been a great success for a lot of pitchers, but some also never recover. The good news for Chico though is that he's young, and has the time to rebuild his repertoire with a brand new arm. My guess is that he could be in the Nationals bullpen as early as September 2009.

Malaria warning as UK becomes warmer - Telegraph
The UK is to be hit by regular malaria outbreaks, fatal heatwaves and contaminated drinking water within five years because of global warming, the Government has warned the NHS....
A spokesman for the Health Protection Agency said: "Our work is based on what is likely to happen if we do nothing to prevent it - and it could well be that we see an increase in diseases such as malaria.
"Malaria has been seen in these islands in the past, and it is not impossible that it will return...Based on scientific advice that UK temperatures are expected to rise by up to three per cent by the end of the century, it includes the warning of a "high" risk by 2012 of a severe heatwave leading to 3,000 immediate deaths, followed by a further 6,350 fatalities from conditions such as heart failure and skin cancer.
Hospital admissions due to breathing problems caused by rising pollution are also likely to rise "significantly", by at least 1,500 a year.
While the authors say the UK has proved able to cope with major heatwaves in the past, with no serious increase in fatalities in years with hot summers, such as 1976, temperatures on the scale of those experienced in France in 2003, which resulted in 14,000 premature deaths, would have an impact.
In 2000 the same report said:
The UK has the highest cold weather excess mortality in Europe,with an estimated 60 000-80 000 cold-related deaths.The determinants of this excess and the contributory role of temperature per se have not yet been fully quantified.
Nevertheless,assuming that temperature plays an important role in mortality,we estimate that by the year 2050 excess cold weather deaths will have declined significantly,perhaps by 20 000 per year.This estimation assumes that other social and material conditions do not change.
The UK has an excellent reputation for providing safe drinking water and good sanitation. This record and the measures upon which it is based are likely to prevent a significant increase in water-borne diseases as the UK climate changes.
In general,levels of air pollution in the UK are falling and will continue to fall for some time. This decline, coupled with climate change, is likely to lead to a decline in air pollution-related deaths and illnesses. It is likely, however,that a small increase in levels of tropospheric ozone will occur and that associated deaths and episodes of illness will increase.
Oh FFS. We survived a sweltering summer in 1976, back in the dark ages, but we won't be able to now, we will lose the ability to drive malaria from our shores like we did in the past and the water companies will forget how to treat the water. Well maybe we will if we have to live in yurts and eat seaweed, the simple answer is technology and scientific progress.

Updated: June 17, 2012 7:01PM
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The pro-bailout New Democracy party came in first Sunday in Greece's national election, and its leader has proposed forming a pro-euro coalition government.
New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras says "the Greek people today voted for Greece to remain on its European path and in the eurozone."
He says voters chose "policies that will bring jobs, growth, justice and security.
His party beat the anti-bailout Syriza party, which wanted to cancel Greece's international bailouts. Syriza chief Alexis Tsipras has conceded the election.

Salon: Insiders Voice Doubts About CIA's 9/11 Story
A growing number of former government insiders — all responsible officials who served in a number of federal posts — are now on record as doubting ex-CIA director George Tenet's account of events leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Among them are several special agents of the FBI, the former counterterrorism head in the Clinton and Bush administrations, and the chairman of the 9/11 Commission, who told ...
Gawker: Chief of CIA's Global Jihad Unit Revealed Online
The CIA is having trouble keeping its secret agents off the internet. First, it allowed the White House to publish a photograph of the man behind the operation to kill Osama bin Laden. And now the identity of the woman who runs its "Global Jihad Unit"—and who has a long (if pseudonymous) history of being associated with some of the agency's most disastrous boondoggles—has been published online by two documentary filmmakers who sussed ...
Who Is Rich Blee?
Despite threats of prosecution from the CIA, the makers of 9/11: Press For Truth have released their new documentary podcast Who Is Rich Blee?
September 11th Advocates Statement on CIA and Clarke
In Boiling Frogs Post's recent interview with Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy, Sibel Edmonds questioned the timing of former Counter-Terrorism Czar, Richard Clarke's willingness to speak out about alleged 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar, and the CIA's knowledge of their whereabouts after the January 2000 Malaysia "terrorist summit." Sibel asked Ray and John, "why now?" We would like to note that the interview with Clarke was actually recorded ...
CIA Threats Delay 9/11 Documentary
On Thursday, the CIA threatened the journalists behind Who Is Rich Blee? with possible federal prosecution if their investigative podcast reveals the names of two CIA analysts at the center of a pattern of obstruction and mishandling of intelligence that many feel would have stopped the 9/11 attacks.
Sibel Edmonds Interviews Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy
Filmmakers Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy join us to discuss their extensive research, interviews and findings which have resulted in the unmasking of three former top CIA officials – George Tenet, Cofer Black and Richard Blee – and their role in withholding intelligence on two key 9/11 hijackers and subsequent cover-ups. Duffy and Nowosielski provide us with a detailed account of their new interview with former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke and his allegations against the CIA officials – Tenet, Black and Blee – accusing them of knowingly withholding intelligence from the White House, the FBI, Immigration and the State and Defense Departments. They discuss two key CIA analysts who were instrumental in this cover up, a joint statement issued by the three accused CIA officials in response to Clarke's allegations, and more!
Cutting Off Your Nose to Spite Your Face
This may fall on deaf ears. In fact, I'm quite sure it will.
I've written so many of these kinds of articles over the years, it pains me to have to do so again.
When 9/11: Press For Truth was released, there were some in the 9/11 Truth Movement who thought it was "soft and misleading." Who said that it didn't go far enough. That it was "disinformation." Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with the film. In fact, I think it's the most dangerous 9/11 documentary in existence. However, because the naysayers had some "influence," and because someone asked me for my opinion on the film, I wrote this. Just like I'm writing this article today. Just like I recently wrote this, and this. Let's just say that I am tired of the games people play.
Richard Clarke Is Being Too Nice to George Tenet
Did Tenet try to convert two members of al Qaeda to his team and fail, and then choose to keep quiet about it, despite his established habit of trying to "cover his ass"? Wouldn't his ass have been better covered by sharing the information? And wouldn't we all then be better off, in particular the million Iraqis and thousands of Americans and Afghans who've paid for this malfeasance with their lives? But what if, just as Obama's actions make sense when we stop fantasizing about him being a liberal, Tenet's actions make sense when we stop assuming his top priority was protecting the people of this country?
Tin-Foil Hat Time: The Richard Clarke Edition
I believe in what the great muckraker I.F. Stone said, that all governments have one thing in common: They lie. I think within the broad contours of what we know about 9/11, there's a lot that we don't know, and a lot of baloney that's been put out there. Even the chief counsel of the the 9/11 Commission believes there was a cover-up related to the failed air-defense response that morning. There are still valid questions about whether it was Cheney or Bush calling the shots in the initial moments. We don't know everything we should about what our government knew about what Pakistan or Saudi Arabia knew before 9/11. In that context, Richard Clarke's "conspiracy theory" seems highly plausible.
I think that will be one positive aspect to the upcoming 10th anniversary overload — the passage of time will make it less taboo to talk about some of those issues. Hopefully by the 15th anniversary, we'll have a better understanding of 9/11 than we do today, on the eve of the 10th.

Commentary segments from Colorado Public Television's airing of 9/11 Press For Truth, featuring filmmakers Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy along with 9/11 Timeline author Paul ...
