Dr. Allen's Device Provides Effective BPH Treatment So Why Use Prostate Surgery as 'Wait and See' Approach Is Good Even for Some Prostate Cancer, States Fine Treatment
New York, Reuters Health reports that in the study of older men who had died from causes other than prostate cancer, almost half were found to have prostate tumors which would have qualified for treatment had doctors known about them. Therefore, there is no rush to use risky prostate removal procedures for BPH treatment, as Dr. Allen's Device terminates prostate enlargement naturally, highlights Fine Treatment.
London, GB (PRWEB) July 25, 2013
The study lead author Dr. Alexandre Zlotta, Director of Uro-oncology at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, has stated, "The study 'Prevalence of Prostate Cancer on Autopsy' concludes that it is probably worth re-examining our current definitions of clinically unimportant and clinically significant prostate cancer." The resort to prostate surgeries for BPH treatment has to be decided on with even greater caution, as Prof. Ivan Aghajanyan, a leading Armenian urologist, believes that benign prostatic hyperplasia may well be treated naturally with Dr. Allen's Device only, Panorama.am reveals.
According to the New York, Reuters report of July 23, 2013, "Study finds 'wait and see' approach may be better for some prostate cancers", "the Asian population in Japan was chosen because clinically detected prostate cancer and mortality are much lower among Asian man compared with Caucasian and their lifestyles/diet are dramatically different."
Though many fewer Japanese men are diagnosed with or die from prostate cancer than men in the U.S., the new study found that the disease is present in the same proportion of men, and serious tumors are even more common in Japan, based on posthumous prostate examinations.
"In the United States, about 329,000 men are expected to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013 but far fewer – less than 30,000 – will die of it. That's still more than will die in Japan, despite the American men getting more screenings and treatments," underlines Dr. Zlotta. It is worth noting that prostate removal costs in the US average at about $13,000, and the procedure may lead to impotence or incontinence.
Professor Ivan Aghajanyan talks about the treatment with Dr. Allen's Device in an interview with Panorama.am, on June 24, 2013: "As a urologist, I firmly believe that if a patient experiences prostate problems, he needs to undergo a thorough medical examination. Firstly, it has to be established whether or not he, God forbids, has prostate cancer, or another disease in need of treatment. A patient may possibly need a surgery. However, when there are no malignant processes or other deficiencies, the use of Dr. Allen's Device may well be appropriate."
A short informative video on the treatment with Dr. Allen's Device for Prostate Care can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5xidswhxJM.
"Thermobalancing therapy treats enlarged prostate without side effects, so men can avoid unnecessary invasive treatments," says Dr. Simon Allen. "Dr. Allen's therapeutic device treats BPH safely, helping the users to maintain a normal life and avoid unnecessary treatment costs."

Rose-Petal Jam

Total Time: 60
Yield: 8 four-ounce jars
Be sure you're gathering pesticide-free petals. Then sort through them before freezing them to be sure you haven't included a clinging June bug or ants. Stack them in layers and seal well. This recipe works with other rose species as well, but I prefer the subtle perfume of Rosa rugosa. It's excellent as a breakfast condiment but also pairs well with roasted pork.
- 1/2 pound Rosa rugosa petals, divided
- 2 cups sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 4 cups water
- Juice of 2 lemons
Into a medium bowl, place a layer of rose petals, 3 petals deep. Shake a layer of sugar on top of the rose petals; repeat layering and sugaring until you've used all the petals. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Reserve remaining sugar.The next day, into a medium saucepan over medium heat place remaining sugar, ginger, water, and lemon juice. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add sugared rose petals and bring mixture to a simmer; cook about 20 minutes. Then raise heat to bring mixture to a boil, and stir well until the jam reaches 220°. Remove from heat. Pour into pristinely clean jelly jars. Seal well and process in boiling water 15 minutes.

A solution of the pinball routing problem in a multihomed mobile network is proposed in the present work. All the communication to and from the mobile network node in a nested mobile network passes through the tunnel between mobile router and its home agent as mentioned in network mobility route optimization problem statement. Such problem is formally known as pinball routing problem. But in the present scheme the communication to and from the mobile network node may or may not pass through the home agents of mobile routers at the higher level of the nested network depending upon the network mobility. Such consideration helps to minimize delay due to pinball routing effect. Moreover in the present work direct communication is proposed if both the source node and the destination node lie inside the same nested mobile network. The proposed scheme is the combination of route optimization algorithm and pinball routing elimination algorithm in a nested multi-homed mobile network. The route optimization algorithm selects an optimal route inside the mobile network of the source node. The pinball routing elimination algorithm selects the pinball eliminated route from the mobile network to the destination node. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated on the basis of tunneling overhead, end to end packet delay and fragmentation using ENEMO_SIM simulator. Results based on a detailed performance evaluation study are also presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

Yankee Polecat Insulator Club show Sept 8 in East Hampton
The Yankee Pole Cat Insulator Club will hold its annual fall show from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. at 68 Long Crossing Road in East Hampton, CT on Saturday, Sept. 8.
Glass insulators were first produced in the 1850s for use with telegraph lines. As technology developed, insulators were needed for telephone lines, electric power lines and other applications.
In the mid-1960s, many Americans began collecting these antique glass insulators. Today, there thousands of collectors who combine a love of design with an interest in science, technology and history.
The Yankee Pole Cat Insulator Club (YPCIC), founded in 1971, draws its members from New England and bordering states and has approximately 60 active members.
Today's show will include such items as: insulators; vintage bottles, jars and flasks; lightning rod equipment; telephone and telegraph collectibles; railroad advertising and paper ephemera and small antiques.
The Yankee Pole Cat Insulator Club also sponsors an annual spring show on the last Sunday in March in Enfield, CT and hosts two cookout/swap meets in the summer at various locations in New England.
A club newsletter is published around four times a year. Currently, there are no annual dues.
To join the Pole Cats or for more information contact Bill Meier at 1-978-369-0208 or email@example.com; or John Rajpolt at 1-203-261-1190 or email@example.com

Texas Rangers Win the Rights to Yu Darvish
December 22, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers emerged victorious from a blind bidding process for the services of Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish. Texas' winning bid exceeded $51 million American dollars, and that merely secured the exclusive right to negotiate a contract with Darvish. The Toronto Blue Jays were reportedly the runners-up with an unspecified bid.
Darvish is the son of an Iranian father, Farsad Darvishsefad, and a Japanese mother, Ikuyu. The two of them met in the United States, in Florida. Farsad's father was a travel agent in Iran, and sent Farsad to the United States in 1977 to attend high school in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, where he also raced competitively in motocross.
Farsad played soccer at Eckerd College, a liberal arts school in St. Petersburg until the U.S. embassy takeover in 1979 and the coach benched him. He later worked at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Wash., where the National Football League's Seattle Seahawks used to train. "When I was working in the cafeteria I used to watch them carry two trays — one was a milk tray, one was a food tray, so it was very huge, a very nice experience," Farsad said in a 2008 interview with ESPN.com. "And of course I cheered for the Seahawks." The family subsequently moved to Japan to raise a family.
Yu, who also goes by the Iranian name Farid, began playing baseball in the second grade in Japan. And he quickly ascended up the ranks. Eventually he became the ace pitcher for the powerhouse baseball program at Tohoku High. And his success carried over to the Japanese professional ranks, with the Fighters of Nippon-Ham.
Darvish has garnered the attention of American baseball scouts since he was a teenager. And the attention grew even further with the high profile international exposure that came with pitching in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as well as in the 2009 World Baseball Classic as a member of the Japanese national team. And, ultimately he became too tantalizing for American professional baseball to resist, and the Texas Rangers paid for his rights.
But Darvish isn't just about the money. In February of 2007 he established a humanitarian fund dedicated to the construction, installment, and maintenance of wells, well pumps, and rainwater storage facilities in developing countries called the "Yu Darvish Water Fund." He has also announced plans to contribute to this fund by donating 100,000 yen each time he notches a regular season win. The fund is managed by the Japan Water Forum.
The 25-year-old Darvish had in fact been going through some tough times in his personal life in recent months having recently been divorced from his wife. But the prospect of a new life and a new challenge in American baseball should do well to boost his spirits.
Good Morning, Occupy Boston!
December 15, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Karin Friedemann, Boston
On December 8, Judge Frances McIntyre lifted the restraining order protecting Occupy Boston from being shut down. McIntyre said that while the protesters are exercising their rights to freedom of expression, the occupation of state land is neither speech "nor is it immune from criminal prosecution for trespass or other crimes." This does not mean eviction is imminent, but the restraining order against the police no longer applies. Throughout the day, occupiers were handed a notice warning them that they would be subject to criminal trespass if they remained in the park. The ACLU of Massachusetts was actively involved in informing occupiers of their rights.
While some protesters packed up and went home on Thursday, others decided to stand their ground. A few even moved their tents to the middle of Atlantic Avenue just before 2am on Friday. Two protesters were arrested for blocking traffic, but there were no other police confrontations with the demonstrators who gathered at the site as the deadline loomed.
Expecting a possible police crackdown, thousands of supporters from nearby areas flooded into the campsite awaiting the midnight deadline, yet midnight came and went with no response from police officers, as they stood around the perimeter looking into the swelling crowd.
Occupy Boston's newswire reports that the protesters "rallied at midnight, making circles two deep around tents, as the Veterans for Peace stood guard, white flags snapping in the wind."
Police blocked off the streets surrounding Dewey Square just before 1am on Friday as hundreds of Occupiers and Occupy supporters packed the encampment. Boston Police Superintendent William Evans said that the police would not be moving in on Dewey Square early Friday morning. He stated that even though Mayor Thomas Menino set the deadline, he did not specify when the camp would be shut down.
As the news came in that no raid was coming, and no was eviction imminent, protesters danced in the streets to celebrate.
"I have no intention of leaving," said 20-year-old Brandon Cloran of Lynn, Massachusetts, who has lived at the camp for the past six weeks.
FOX News reported that "the encampment site in Dewey Square in the city's financial district looked noticeably smaller Friday than it had since the protesters first began occupying the site on Sept. 30. Only about 40 protesters and 35 tents remained, covering less than half the area the protest once did…
"Hours later, as dawn approached, the scene was markedly quieter, with only a handful of police officers keeping eye on the remaining protesters, a few of whom were still packing up tents and gathering belongings. One protester was raking part of the greenway that had been vacated by other members of the movement."
While there is no obvious victory for the protesters as they continue their standoff with the City of Boston, it is clear that the voices of the many are influencing current events. Two weeks ago, a federal judge blocked a settlement between the Securities and Exchange Commission and Citigroup, saying that he could not be sure that it was "fair, adequate, or in the public interest," while last week, a District Attorney announced she was suing the banks for fraudulent foreclosure practices.
MoveOn reports: "Senate Democrats are proposing an extension of small but helpful tax cuts for the 99%—paid for by a surcharge on millionaires… With votes on unemployment benefits, Medicare payments, and a Wall Street tax likely before the end of the year, this final month of 2011 will force every member of Congress to show who they really represent."
The very next day after their feared eviction, on December 9, Boston Occupiers amassed against the Department of Housing and Community Development to demonstrate against the lack of affordable housing and ongoing evictions of homeowners, connecting it with the plight of their tent city, citing such statistics:
Each year, 600,000 families with 1.35 million children experience homelessness in the United States, making up about 30% of the homeless population over the course of a year
In any given day, researchers estimate that more than 200,000 children have no place to live
A full time worker earning minimum wage cannot afford a one bedroom unit priced at Fair Market Rent anywhere in the United Stated.
Federal Support for low income housing has fallen by 40% from 1980-2003
15% of all American families and 32% of single parent families live below the poverty line
During a visit to the site 8am Friday, Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis wouldn't say what the city plans to do about the remaining protesters.
"We have learned over the past ten weeks just how powerful the people can be," stated a spokesperson for Occupy Boston. "Unproductive wealth struggles to justify its inefficiency, and deceit grows helpless before a truth that has found its people."

US Students Rejoice Over Israel Boycott
By Hena Ashraf, IOL
WASHINGTON—Pro-Palestinian students in a US college are celebrating its decision to divest from firms serving the Israeli occupation of Palestine, a decision that has sparked a raging controversy.
"We were able to educate and mobilize an entire community, the majority of our community," Aidan Kriese, an organizer from the Students for Justice in Palestine group (SJP) in Hampshire College, Massachusetts, told IslamOnline.net.
"And the majority has made a decision."
On February 7, Hampshire College became the first US institute of higher education to divest from companies involved in the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
The groundbreaking decision was taken by the Committee on Investment Responsibility and approved by the College's Board of Trustees.
The six companies are Caterpillar, Terex, Motorola, ITT, General Electric, and United Technologies.
They are believed to be directly providing the Israeli military with equipment and services in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
"We were interested in looking at the specific relationships that our particular institution had in the occupation," Kriese said.
"We found we were linked specifically to the occupation through these corporations."
Over 800 students, professors, and alumni have signed SJP's "institutional statement" calling for the divestment from these firms.
Divestment efforts and academic boycotts of Israel have largely gained ground in the past few years.
The United Methodist Church has received five separate petitions calling for divestment from companies that support or profit from the Israeli occupation.
The divestment, widely covered in national media, has stirred a firestorm controversy leading the college's administration to deny the issue had anything to do with politics.
But the students' association insists that breaking ties with the six firms was specifically linked to helping the Israeli occupation.
"The SJP was asked by the administration what companies to avoid in the future in terms of the Israeli occupation of Palestine," Kriese said.
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, a well-known supporter of Israel, has called for donors to divest from Hampshire College and halt contributions to the college until it clears up the situation.
After his column in the Israeli Jerusalem Post daily stirred a sandstorm, Hampshire College issued a statement acknowledging that the process was launched in response to the SJP proposal, but denied that the final decision had anything to do with Israel.
"For eight and a half months the only specific companies…that were discussed were the six companies SJP targeted," the SJP said in a later statement.
"These facts prove that the decision was made on the grounds of the six companies' involvement in the occupation of Palestine."
Despite the controversy, the SJP still sees the college's decision to divest from the pro-occupation companies a victory.
"It's really clear to us that we've done our part in raising concerns about the occupation," boasts Kriese.

New Muslim Cool
June 27, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Former Drug Dealer Struggles to Transform Himself and His Community Through His Faith and His Music
Produced in Association with Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) And the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM)
"New Muslim Cool transcends race, ethnicity, class and religion. Like hip-hop culture, the film is all about irrepressible social transformation and empowerment." – Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Hip-Hop Summit Action Network
New Muslim Cool is Islam as you have never seen it. It is also hip-hop as you have probably never heard it. This new film, which opens the 22nd season of P.O.V., PBS's award-winning nonfiction film series, gives audiences an insider's view of a little-known cultural fusion between Muslims and street beats that has been developing since the very beginnings of hip-hop culture. The result is a surprising challenge to stereotypes of both Muslims and urban youth in America that encourages viewers to look critically at the "clash of civilizations" between Islam and the West.
Jennifer Maytorena Taylor's New Muslim Cool has its national broadcast premiere on P.O.V. on Tuesday, June 23, 2009, at 10 p.m. (Check local listings.) American television's longest-running independent documentary series, P.O.V. received a 2007 Emmy for Excellence in Television Documentary Filmmaking. The 2009 season of P.O.V. continues each Tuesday at 10 p.m. through Sept. 22, with two specials in November and January.
New Muslim Cool is more than another hybrid hip-hop story. It's also the story of a man coming of age, facing his deepest questions about his faith, trying to keep his family safe and learning how to hold himself accountable. A decade ago, Hamza, born Jason, was a drug dealer on America's mean streets. The child of Puerto Rican parents, he had two recurring, competing dreams at night: in one he was in prison by age 21, and in the other he was dead. New Muslim Cool is the story of how, as Hamza laughingly puts it, "both [dreams] came true," albeit in unpredictable ways.
Indeed, when Hamza was 21, he was hanging out with friends and getting high when a chance encounter with an "old sheikh" transformed his life. The death he experienced was "a death of all my past, the negative," he says. He gave up drugs and the street life and converted to Islam. He then went further, becoming active in forming a community of Latino and African-American Muslims, many of whom, like Hamza, were former street hustlers and drug dealers. The community ultimately moved from Massachusetts to Pittsburgh, Pa., with Hamza bringing along his son and, after the breakup of his first marriage, his daughter.
As part of their efforts to build a community that would reconcile their heritage with their new faith, Hamza and his brother, Sulaiman, formed the rap group Mujahideen Team (M-Team). M-Team strives to use knowledge gained in the streets to put Islam's religious message into a familiar context. Ultimately, Hamza would bring that message to prisons, fulfilling his other dream in a way he had never imagined.
Early on in the film, Hamza and Sulaiman joke about the exotic hybridization their faith and community embody. "See, we don't speak full Arabic," says Hamza, "but we know Arabic Spanglish Ebonics." The two men's conversion has largely bewildered their family, who raised them as Roman Catholics. The family's initial upset has been tempered by gratitude that the brothers' new faith has gotten them off drugs and away from other dangerous pursuits. Yet the family also feels some discomfort over the tough lyrics Hamza and Sulaiman use as M-Team.
With their unflinchingly critical words and intense stage performance – complete with flaming machetes – Hamza and Sulaiman attempt to carve out a place for themselves in the tradition of protest poetry, up from the rawest roots of hip-hop. Within the Muslim hip-hop world, they are recognized as heirs to the tradition of artists like the Last Poets and Public Enemy, freely criticizing the government and many elements of modern society. But their music also draws scrutiny and eventually complicates Hamza's life, even as he begins to grow and embrace a softer way of expressing himself.
The struggle to make his community thrive, raise his kids, build a new marriage and, paradoxically, deal with an FBI investigation of his group's new mosque in Pittsburgh, Pa., all serve to deepen Hamza's study of and thinking about Islam and the plight of the poor and imprisoned in America.
Hamza begins to reach out to prisoners, using his faith and struggles to inspire them. His work also leads him into surprising alliances with ministries of other religions that, like his own, seek to build a road to redemption from the nation's jails.
Says director/producer Jennifer Maytorena Taylor, "New Muslim Cool came out of my long-standing interest in the power of pop music and culture to create social change and a deep feeling that we urgently need to look for common ground as our world grows increasingly diverse and interconnected. This is a story about who we all are as a country, making choices about our deepest values in tough times and continually redefining what it means to be American."
New Muslim Cool is a production of Specific Pictures in association with Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) and the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM).

ACLU Condemns Charity Closings
June 27, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Duke Helfand
The federal government's crackdown on suspected terrorism financing since the 9/11 attacks has violated the rights of US Muslim charities and deterred Muslims from charitable giving, the ACLU said last Tuesday.
An expansion of laws and policies since 2001 has given the US Treasury in particular virtually unchecked authority to designate charities as terrorist organizations and freeze assets without adequate safeguards to protect against mistakes or abuse, the study concluded.
It said that such sweeping powers, combined with the FBI interviewing Muslim donors and putting mosques under surveillance, has created a climate of fear among Muslims. Donors have been reluctant to fulfill their religious obligation to give zakat, or charity, one of the "five pillars" of Islam, for fear of being arrested, deported, denied citizenship or prosecuted retroactively for donations made in good faith.
"Giving charity is a central part of being Muslim, so it weighs heavily on them that they cannot practice a key tenet of their faith," said ACLU researcher Jennifer Turner, who based her findings on interviews with 120 Muslim community leaders, donors and former government officials.
In a statement, the Treasury Department, which is responsible for oversight of charitable activity, said it attempts to help the charitable community protect against terrorist abuses.
"We're hopeful this ongoing communication will ensure all charitable groups, regardless of religious affiliation, have the ability to provide assistance where it's needed most, without empowering terrorist organizations," the agency said.
In his speech in Cairo this month, President Obama addressed the oversight of Muslim charities, saying the "rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation. That's why I'm committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat."
Civil libertarians and Muslim advocates say the new administration has yet to actually address the problems. The ACLU said federal policies have led to closures of nine Muslim charities in Texas, Michigan, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon and other states.
The leaders of one former charity, Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, were convicted in November of funneling more than $12 million to the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The US designated Hamas a terrorist organization, making contributions to it illegal. Two founding members of Holy Land, once the nation's largest Muslim charity, were each sentenced last month to 65 years in prison.
Still, Muslim advocates and the ACLU said the government has seized the assets of other charities without charging them with a crime, driving charitable giving underground and undermined diplomatic efforts in Muslim countries, they said.
"This is an issue that not only goes to religious giving, but we see this as critical to our continued integration and participation in American public life," said Farhana Khera, executive director of Muslim Advocates, a legal advocacy and education organization based in San Francisco.
"To be engaged in public life, we need to feel comfortable supporting our community institutions," she said.
Open Letter Re: Humanitarian Crisis, Kashmir
August 14, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Justice Navanethem Pillay, High Commissioner
Dr. Kyung-wha Kang, Deputy High Commissioner
Ms. Gay McDougall, Independent Expert on minority issues
Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights; United Nations; Palais des Nations; CH-1211 Geneva 10; Switzerland
Subject: Humanitarian Crisis in Jammu and Kashmir
August 12, 2008
Dear Justice Pillay, Dr. Kang, Ms. McDougall:
We write to bring to your attention the profound humanitarian crisis continuing in the Kashmir Valley due to the ongoing blockade of the Srinagar-Jammu highway by religious nationalist groups from India.
This has resulted in severe shortages in the Kashmir Valley of food and other vital provisions. We are reliably informed that petrol and essential medical rations, including blood, are in critically short supply, as well as newsprint, and that communication services and infrastructure are severely disrupted.
The situation in Jammu, where the Muslim minority is facing violence on a scale that can be described as ethnic cleansing, is alarming. The Government of India and the military and paramilitary forces have shown themselves unable and/or unwilling to take any effective action, either to end the blockade or to stop the violence against Muslims in Jammu. Meanwhile, military and paramilitary forces have opened fire on counter-demonstrators in Kashmir, using live20bullets and mortar. A communiqué from the Kashmir Valley states that:
"The situation here on ground is that essential commodities have started getting dried up, diesel is already out of stock and petrol at its verge of end. The people here are very much concerned as if the same continues for next few days there will be nothing left to eat with the people of Kashmir. And on the other side the Army is supporting the mobs who have allegedly beaten up the drivers stranded on the national highway. The drivers who were beaten up reported that they asked Army to help them but all went in despair and the Army people in return handed them over to the mobs. The target is only the Kashmiri Muslims and some sources from Jammu say that it is the outsiders who have come to Jammu and are doing such attacks on the Muslims and it is quite evident that the Hindu fundamentalist groups viz. BJP, RSS VHP, etc., are all sponsoring the planned attacks onto the Kashmiris like it was done in Gujarat. Here in Kashmir we feel the history seems to be being repeated by the Hindu fundamentalists who had earlier in 1947 killed about 250,000 Muslims in Jammu."
On August 11, 2008, approximately 100,000 Kashmiris, including fruit growers and others gravely affected by the blockade, marched toward the Line of Control toward Pakistan markets in protest. They were met with gunfire and tear gas from the military and paramilitary forces, and Sheik Abdul Aziz, an All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader, was shot dead, inten sifying the situation. Police reports stated that three others were killed and over 200 injured, enervating health systems already low on supplies. Other sources we contacted stated that as many as 18 others may have been killed in Kashmir on August 11. By early evening of August 12, as we write you, reports stated that as many as twelve persons were killed in Kashmir on that day as armed forces fired on demonstrators. Other reports stated that civil society groups, students, and labor unions participating in non-violent civil disobedience and peaceful protests are being targeted by the forces, as curfew conditions prevail.
The Srinagar-Jammu highway is the only land route linking the Kashmir Valley to India and the sole conduit for essential supplies as well as for exporting horticultural goods, which are among the Valley's chief products. News updates on the state of the blockade and situation can be found from leading Kashmiri newspapers, which are online at www.greaterkashmir.com; www.kashmirtimes.com; www.risingkashmir.com; www.etalaat.com/english/.
About 95-97 percent of the population of the Valley is Muslim, while Muslims are a minority in India. This has made Kashmir the target of increasingly aggressive campaigns by Hindu nationalist groups since 1947, despite guarantees of autonomy written into the Indian Constitution. The Government of India has failed to take measures to prevent these campaigns, consisting of marches and demonstrations, and culminating in the current blockade. Since 1989 there has been an armed pro-independence struggle in Kashmir, together with other and non-violent movements for self-determination. Indian counterinsurgency operations have resulted in grave abuses of human rights with social, economic, psychological, political, and environmental consequences, which meet the definition under international law of crimes against humanity. To a population suffering the effects of nineteen years of armed conflict, the economic crisis caused by the blockade comes as the last straw.
We urge that you respond expeditiously to this situation in accordance with the mandate to uphold human rights as enshrined in the charter of the United Nations.
1. The Government of India should immediately end the economic blockade and ensure that goods and services, including emergency medical and food supplies, can move in both directions along the Srinagar-Jammu border.
2. The Government of India should open the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road, a promise repeatedly reiterated by successive governments of India and Pakistan, though never implemented. This would ensure that the current crisis situation is not repeated as well as mark a concrete step forward in addressing injustices and the peace process.
3. Take immediate action to stop the violence against the Muslim minority in Jammu and bring those responsible to justice.
4. Put an end to ongoing human rights abuses by Indian forces and pro-India militias as repeatedly promised by the Indian Prime Minister and expected of democratic governments.
5. Take steps for a long-term resolution of the conflict by beginning talks with all sections of the Kashmiri leadership and civil society.
6. Take steps to hold the Indian state accountable under the provisions established by the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, Constitution of India, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and International Laws and Conventions.

Syed Adil Husain Wins MIT Business Award
February 14, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Award Recognizes Student's Company for Top Consumer Service
By Rabiah Ahmed and Adil James
Cambridge, MA–Syed Adil Hussain, a Harvard graduate student, is a recipient of the world-renowned MIT $100K Executive Summary Competition (ESC) award in recognition for the high-quality online tutoring his company, uProdigy, begins delivering this week to American college students.
The MIT $100K ESC award is one of the world's leading entrepreneur competitions and is designed to encourage students and researchers to act on their talent and ideas. It has produced hundreds of successful ventures since its establishment in 1990.
The winners of the ESC competition were announced Friday, February 8, at the Business Plan Competition kick off held at the Strata Center. Eight student-managed companies were selected from over 100 entries and were awarded cash prizes.
"I started this company because as an undergrad student, I could never afford the $60-$70 normally charged for help in higher-level math," said Hussain, 26, CEO of uProdigy. "The MIT award recognizes the important social impact uProdigy can make by delivering quality and affordable academic tutoring services to American college students."
Hussain's company, based in Massachusetts, was selected from a panel of judges from the MIT and Boston venture communities. Judges were asked to select business plans that showed high growth potential, market leadership potential, stage of idea development, and quality and breadth of team among other things.
As part of it services, uProdigy offers live, around-the-clock homework assistance from highly educated, English-speaking tutors in South Asia.
The niche for uProdigy is college students who need low-cost emergency one-on-one help with understanding concepts from very qualified people. Mr. Husain explained that "We are just launching the business to the public–we just launched yesterday. We had an alpha release in November."
He explained that "In India, there is so much talent, so many brilliant people. Most of the people we selected as tutors are professors at universities. There is really no shortage of them at all. We accepted only about 5% of those who applied to be tutors."
As for the future, Husain explains that "this is really a huge huge market–what we are seeing now is only the beginning." The biggest player in online tutoring now, he explains, is Tutorvista, which focuses on elementary school and middle school tutoring rather than the college students that uProdigy aims to serve.
Students will be able to use uProdigy's services for only $15 per hour–and the first hour is free. People who join uProdigy as members will also (in the future) have access to general academic instructional videos. Visit their website to learn more.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This is a really great whole wheat pasta. I saw that Dr Greger used this pasta so I tried to track it down and was thrilled to see they stocked it at iherb. It cooks up really nicely and does not taste like usual whole wheat pasta, Ill be buying this in the future!
Makes whole wheat pasta taste better than any old white flour pasta you've had. This is one of the best pastas of any type. Bionaturae makes pretty much any type of pasta you will need - and it's organic and whole wheat.

Lexington, KY, Nov 15, 2011 -- Federal Agricultural officials will be in Pulaski County today to break ground on a project to expand the Somerset's water treatment plant.
Thomas G. Fern, State Director for Rural Development, said funding for the project was made available though the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Through Rural Development's Water and Environmental Program, the city was able to obtain a low-interest loan in the amount of $14 million and a grant for $6 million.
The original water treatment plant was constructed in 1956 and has undergone several expansions and upgrades in the years since but because of regulation changes and age is nearing the end of its useful life.
Fern further stated that Rural Development's support and assistance for infrastructure projects is indicative of our commitment to ensure rural communities can create jobs, attract businesses and provide essential services to their residents.
Officials with the city of Somerset are to be applauded for taking the initiative to ensure they can provide adequate water service to its many customers in Pulaski County, while also planning for their future needs and enhancing their opportunities for economic development, said Fern.
Reasons for the improvements include rising demand on the plant, requests for new changes and new regulations. The Division of Water requested that the plant change its operational mode to one treatment type because there are currently two separate treatment processes operating parallel. New regulations are greatly impacting water treatment processes and Somerset hopes to continue to maintain a standard in excess of water quality requirements. The improvements were necessary to provide adequate supply of treated water for 5,643 customers within Somerset City Limits as well as the water Somerset provides to other cities, which include Science Hill, Eubank, Western Pulaski Water District and Southeastern Water Association.
Funds will be used to increase the capacity of the existing plant from 10 to 16 million gallons per day and will include other improvements and upgrades to the plant. The new facilities will include the Ultrafiltration Drinking Water Treatment System, membrane treatment, and appurtenant equipment as provided by GE Water & Process Technologies.
These changes will lower installation and operating costs, allow remote monitoring, assure high quality treatment, have a high operating efficiency, have a low waste disposal, and have a minimal space requirement.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages more than 40 housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of 6,100 employees located in 500 state and local offices. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of more than $142 billion in loans and loan guarantees.
Rural Development's Water and Environmental Programs (WEP) provide loans, grants and loan guarantees for drinking water, sanitary sewer, solid waste and storm drainage facilities in rural areas and cities and towns of 10,000 or less. Public bodies and non-profit organizations may qualify for assistance. Rural Development also makes grants to nonprofit organizations to provide technical assistance and training to assist rural communities with their water, wastewater, and solid waste problems. For more information, go to http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/UWEP_HomePage.html.
President Obama signed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 into law on Feb. 17, 2009. It was designed to jumpstart the nation's economy, create or save millions of jobs and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act included measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief and protect those in greatest need.

Could you tell me do they ask you about your grades in the sciences course you took in undergrad such as A&P and chemistry. Overall, could you tell me is GPA the end all be all. How many students will there be in the May 05 class.Thanks
In January I take the last three prereqs and start the nursing program in May. I can't wait Make sure you check in on us students since you will be all done when I start!
Again I wish you much success in the program and you have my blessing to excell and do well in the program. Hopefully you can give me some incite into whats going on throughout your time in the program. -
0Dec 16, '04 by TLC RNThank you christinajoy!
I think I was one of the first group of people interviewed for the program so my interview was pretty low key. They basically want to know if you can handle the rigors of an intense program. I had talked to the person doing the interview before at an open house so she had a good idea I was prepared for the program. We ended up chatting about her career. The couple other people I know who interviewed said it was a little more formal but the idea was the same..."can you handle the program."
They accept 50 people for the program. They did not think this year would be as competitive as it will be in the future. They are like Wayne in that they base your entrance on GPA in prereq classes. They also see if you do ok in the interview and your goal statement. I lucked out because I had all my prereqs done in August so I could interview immediately so I was able to get in with a 3.3 in my prereqs. If I had not been finished I would have had to repeat two classes I got B's in to make sure I had a higher GPA. I think GPA in prereqs is a big part of the picture for them. I got the impression that they feel the gpa will be higher next year and I have to agree.
I know they offer rolling admissions so as soon as you finish that Chem class you should be good to interview and get an answer soon after
Feel free to keep in touch. I would be glad to help you in anyway I can Good luck! -
0Jan 4, '05 by JazzyOneRNHi Tooty,
Happy New Year to you. Im sorry it took so long for me to get back to you with a reply, but the holidays and all the chaos it brings prohibited me from responding sooner. Thanks for the reply it was very helpful and I am taking the second chemistry this term and Ive decided to retake A&P1 and 2 and Microbiology in Summer 1 and Summer 2 at Oakland community this summer because I received 2c's and a b in those courses and I want to increase my gpa so it could increase my chances of getting accepted into the program in May of 06. I do plan to apply to Wayne State and University of Detroit Mercy accelerated programs for 06, but Im really hoping I could get into OU because of the cost, its much cheaper than Wayne and especially cheaper than U of D and I like the campus at OU as well.
Good luck in the pharmacology, pathophys and Nutrition this term Im sure you will do exceptionally well in all 3 courses. I was reading some of your previous postings on the boards and you come across as being very dedicated and ambitious and have your heart set on becoming a nurse. I give you big ups on going to school full time and being a single parent. You deserve much praise for that. I would like for us to keep in contact, you could motivate me or be a mentor to me because going through this process can be disheartening especially with the prereq courses.
Hope to hear from you soon.
--Take Care

Erik Bedard threw a two-inning simulated game Saturday and will likely start for the Mariners next weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays if there are no ill effects from his outing.

BOSTON — Erik Bedard threw a two-inning simulated game Saturday and will likely start for the Mariners next weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays if there are no ill effects from his outing.
Bedard said he felt good in throwing roughly 40 pitches with batters standing in to face him before Seattle's game against the Boston Red Sox. Afterward, manager Eric Wedge said he doesn't see a need for a second simulated game — as long as Bedard feels fine Sunday morning.
Shawn Kelley also threw two 15-pitch innings in between Bedard's sessions and looked surprisingly strong. So much so the team now may send him out on a minor-league rehabilitation assignment rather than bringing him to New York City next week for more practice sessions.
"Going in, I thought all along that I'd have to do that," Kelley said. "That I'd go with the team to New York and throw another sim game. But they kind of gave me the impression today that it might not have to happen."
Mariners pitching coach Carl Willis watched both pitchers closely and said they are far enough along that additional bullpen sessions and simulated games aren't really needed.
"In Bedard's case, we're just looking at him and making sure the delivery's the same," Willis said. "If there is a fortunate side to all of this it's that it was a knee (injury) and not an arm. ... The ball came out of his hand, all of his pitches did what they do during a game. So, with him, it's delivery and not favoring the knee.
"With Kelley, it's looking for that life, repeating that same arm slot. And commanding the ball, And today, he did those things."
Chambliss frustrated
Mariners hitting coach Chris Chambliss said he's as frustrated as anyone by the team's lack of offense this season. The Mariners entered Saturday hitting a major-league worst .224 with an equally bad .289 on-base percentage.
But Chambliss, who played for World Series champions in New York and losing teams in Cleveland and Atlanta, said he can't allow himself to go into a funk over what's happened this season. And Chambliss agrees with Wedge that the team's hitters have to do a better job of being tougher.
"Their talent has to match the talent that's against them," Chambliss said. "And that's where that mental toughness part comes in. ... Wedgie's right when he talks about toughness. That's mental. That's what he's talking about. Your mental state of mind.
"So that you're not intimidated by who you're playing. You're not intimidated by the pitcher you're facing. Right now, we're in Fenway Park playing one of the best teams in baseball. Our guys can't be intimidated by that. They have to go out there thinking they can win. Thinking they can be successful. That's what Wedgie's talking about when he says we have to be tougher. We do have to be tougher."
• Ichiro's two stolen bases Friday gave him 26 on the year and marked the 11th straight season he's had at least 25. He's just the 18th player in major-league history to record at least 25 steals in 11 straight seasons.
• The four double plays induced by Felix Hernandez on Friday tied a club record achieved six times previously.
For the record: W-L: 43-57 W PCT: .430

All information within the Housing Selection pages will be updated for 2015-2016 by mid-February.
Gettysburg College offers a wide variety of housing options. The housing selection process is designed to help students select housing for the following year. There are many details to consider, therefore we ask that you read this information carefully and familiarize yourself with the processes, policies, and housing options available to you.
As an overview:
- In February, students apply to live in College Houses, request disability accommodations, confirm housing in fraternity houses, and other specialized programs are selected. In addition, interested juniors apply to live off-campus for their senior year.
- All remaining students participate in the online housing selection process that takes place in March and April.
- Please note that Gettysburg College continues to offer gender-neutral housing. This option allows two or more students to share a multiple-occupancy bedroom, suite, or apartment regardless of students' sex or gender. Gender-neutral housing is intended for students who wish to share a living space with friends regardless of gender identity; it is not intended for romantic couples. Please review the gender-neutral housing policy and FAQs page for further information.
Online Housing Selection (remember when accessing CNAV/MyHousing, please do NOT use the Google Chrome browser):
With the exception of current first-year students, students will be able to view their lottery number in CNAV/MyHousing on Friday, February 7, 2014. In order to take FYE points into consideration, current first-year students will be able to view their lottery number in CNAV/MyHousing by Friday, February 21, 2014. Beginning on Monday, March 17, 2014, juniors will be able to view their lottery selection date/time for the online housing selection process. After juniors have completed online housing selection, sophomores will be able to view their lottery selection date/time on Monday, March 31, 2014, and first-year students will be able to view their times on Monday, April 21, 2014. To assist students in selecting a room, students will have access to a step-by-step instruction booklet on how to select roommates and housing online.
To help students review housing options, floor plans for all residence halls are available online through the MyHousing option in CNAV. Room amenity information is available on our website. This information includes availability of gender-neutral bathrooms within residential properties.

A Village in Bengal, Chirodeep Chaudhuri
What is closest to us is hardest to see and even harder to show. Mumbai-based photographer Chirodeep Chaudhuri photographed his ancestral village in Bengal for twelve years, visiting annually during the festival of Durga Puja. Threading a subtle narrative, this collection invites us to behold the story of rural India as it has unspooled in a village in Bengal. These exhilarating photographs are animated by the rhythms of rural life – the feeling of being in the countryside, the rush of festivities, the joyful gathering of family, the small inconveniences, and the contrast implicit therein with urban sufficiency and insularity. We see, picture after picture of poise and poignancy, a portrait that is deeply intimate.

These minerals are integral to the technology and other things we rely on every day. Everything from laptops, phones, and tablets to cars, airplanes, lighting, and jewelry contain tin, tantalum, tungsten, and/or gold, which are referred to as "conflict minerals"1.
