Researchers call for national blood policy
Vinson Kurian
Thiruvananthapuram , Aug. 2
RESEARCHERS have underscored the need for evolving and implementing national guidelines on the appropriate use of blood and blood products in order to promote their optimal use.
Along with this, component preparation should be actively encouraged, according to researchers at the Metabolic Disorders Research Centre (MDRC) of surgicals major Terumo Penpol.
This can be achieved by forcing a shift in emphasis from using whole blood to components. Whole blood is disadvantageous for at least two reasons; (i) wastage - the transfused patient may not require all components, and (ii) fluid overload - in cases where the patient does not require volume replacement.
On the other hand, using components ensures optimal use of blood resources since only the required component would be transfused, preserving the rest for other patients. The risk of transfusion-induced reactions and cardiac overloading are also minimised in this manner. Apart from these, using components will mean that one donated unit can benefit several patients. Storage period can also be enhanced.
A number of blood banks across the country have since been provided with facilities for blood component separation. But these are not available in all cities and all blood banks, rendering the practice of using whole blood still common. A national plasma fractionation centre has been established at Mumbai, but there is a need to expand this activity either at the same centre or at another one established at a different part of the country.
Plasma for fractionation must fulfil the same strict criteria applicable to blood for component preparation. There is a need to devise a strategy for obtaining adequate plasma derivatives. Alternatives to this are setting up of large-scale (capacities of more than three lakh litres) fractionation centres or opting for contract fractionation.
New medical treatments are being developed every day and more operations being carried out. So there is a constant need for donations for these vital procedures. However, the overwhelming majority of the world's population do not have access to safe blood. Over 80 million units of blood are donated every year, but only 38 per cent are collected in developing countries where 82 per cent of the global population live.
The immediate task is to increase the supply of voluntarily donated blood. Having an adequate number of whole blood donations permits the therapy of acute trauma and burns, the performance of elective and emergency surgery, the treatment of malignant disease, the treatment of neonatal and puerperal anaemia and haemorrhage and thalassaemia.
There is a constant need for a regular supply of blood because blood can be stored only for a limited period of time. Regular blood donation by a sufficient number of healthy people is needed to ensure that blood will always be available whenever and wherever it is needed.

There's been plenty of column space dedicated to the damage wrought by the Citizens United decision, including the unprecedented spending efforts by corporations like Target, Best Buy and McDonalds, not to mention the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Now as citizens cast their votes and as pundits prepare their various election post-mortems, it's a good time to look at how this influx of cash has effected the overall health of our democracy.
And let me say, the prognosis is not good.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, approximately $4 billion was spent in this election cycle alone–an off-year midterm election with, compared to 2008, far fewer "marquee" match-ups. The 2006 midterms, by way of example, saw about $2.85 billion and the 2004 presidential campaigns spent approximately $4.14 billion.
It's clear that by allowing corporations and unions the right to spend freely and anonymously, Chief Justice John Roberts and his cohorts have cast as law the idea that cash, not informed discourse, is king come election time. As a result voters have been subjected to a barrage of negative, shady election ads that skirt the truth (to put it politely), offered by such vanilla-sounding groups as the American Future Fund and The American Action Network. The result is a mean-spirited dumbing down of national political discourse that no doubt has our founding fathers and freedom fighters spinning in their graves.
Worse still, it does nothing to offer solutions or visions of leadership in a time when both are of critical imporance and apparently short demand.
We'll have a clearer understanding just how extensive the effect and how poisonous a turn our elections have taken once we have the final tally from Tuesday. Did the majority of Americans really vote for candidates who have no interest creating jobs, protecting affordable health care choices or making sure the average American does not foot the bill for the greed and excess of Wall Street and its enablers? Did young voters who have the distinct misfortune of being born in a time when it will be nearly impossible for them to achieve a higher standard of living than their parents stay home? Did armed groups of mis-informed vigilantes successfully disenfranchise American citizens in a specific intent to block the exercise of constitutional rights? If the answer to those questions are yes, then I'm afraid our future does indeed look bleak.
There are ways outside of this maze of unlimited money and the corporatization of our democracy by the Roberts Court. There's the DISCLOSE Act, which would require corporations to identify the candidates and causes they spend their money supporting. And there's moving towards the public financing of elections–perhaps the last best chance for the average American to make sure that the monied elite in this country do not permanently dominate the crafting of public policy to suit their own needs.
This country has survived one Gilded Age and is struggling to come out of another, but it won't be possible unless we get a handle on and form a solution to the unfettered cash flooding our campaigns, particularly when that cash is combined with anonymity. Democracy is all about accountability, yet our current campaign financing system encourages and promotes just the opposite. Forcing corporate campaign disclosures and moving toward a publicly financed elections system is really the only way to maintain a government of the people and by the people.
So we've got two years to make that happen. Let's get to work.

If I were a corporation, I would never reveal who I gave money to. Just look at Target and the Move-on.org attack for simply giveing money to a company that distributes funds to various campaigns. The radical left is so bent on destruction that they will do whatever, and I mean that in the most radical way, to accomplish their goals. They ignore rules, they have no scruples, no morals, no anything that resembles what we consider fair play. They are the first to scream foul, but the worst offenders fo the same rules... does that sound rather hypocritical... it should because that is what I see all the time from the left. You will win very few fans when you play games that way. This country was not built that way, and th majority of americans like a fair fight... and will typically support an underdog, but rarely a cheater and that is the feeling most people have of the far left progressives. Can you blame them???
WOW Die HArd, that was one load of crap you just laid on this blog. Most if not all of it misrepresentations, fabrications and borderline lies. Where do you get yur information from? Let me guess, Huffington Post, Media Matters, the American Progressive, among other similar sites. You are the victim of what you claim the Tea Party is. Yes, I will at least will show you the respect and call you by a valid name rather than the childish(yes that is all it is) immature name calling that you seem so inept at doing very well. Come on, with half a mind I could do better than that. But see, unlike you, I will respect your opinion even though I don't agree with it. It is people like you that give the progressive movement a bad name. You are unwilling to debate topics, just rattle off junk that you think sounds so cool, but without a shred of evidence, support, facts or anything that even comes close to resembling reasonable support for your arguments. That is why you are dismissed by anyone that you should want to convince that your progressive movement and ideals are actually good for this country. Grow up and act like you might have a clue on reality. Do you even know what caused the financial collapse, or how in bed your beloved administration is with corporations, how about unions, George Soros, do you? Do you have any idea what their agenda really is? Do you even have a clue as to what that might REALLY mean for life as we know it today? I seriously doubt it. Look into it. Learn.
when are we all gonna start working together?
I am asking as a citizen, who is big enough to make the first move?
20 years ago I would have said the Dems...since I was one....OMG totally liberal. Now not so much.
It really makes me sad and disappointed that there is so much BS and name calling.
I know what I believe and I will continue on.
People who call people like me names have no idea who I am...so why not just stop and breathe a bit...take a step back and for Pete's sake let us all figure out how we can make this country into a United States of AMERICA.
WE can do it. I know we can! Seriously...if I can go to work every day (Thank God (or whomever you what to thank) I have a job...after 2 yrs of not having one) sorry i digress....
If I can go to work everyday and SMILE and ACT AS IF! and get along....if I can do it .... I know this country can do it!
I know everyone in this country can ..... if they want to.
DO YOU WANT TO? really?
stop the name calling, the hate, the senseless vitriol....
I cannot believe the hatred and anger on a site called CARE2.
where is your soul? I may not agree with you but I am seriously stunned by the hatred here.
How will we ever get along?
Anger is not productive. Hate and name calling is just a waste of time.
How do we make things WORK?
How do we get people ... AMERICANS to stop complaining and start appreciating where we live?
or would you rather be somewhere else?
horrible numbers
@Dan C., although it was not 100 years of decisions and laws it would not matter; remember an Amendment had to be passed in order for women to vote another to free the slaves both in the face of years of decisions and laws.
@Die Hard, many of the things which you mention such as roads are typically the responsibility of government not socialism as is currently espoused. The roads and other infrastructure is for the good of all.
Well this election has proven that money can buy
almost anything and that the dumbing down of the United States citizens is more than I expected.
Now that the Republicans have gained control of the House hold on to whatever you have because
it's only going to get worse. We have let the foxes into the hen house.
Okay. Sure. No problem. Massive corporations with deeeep pockets are people deserving of unlimited free speech rights. Nevermind that this contradicts over 100 years of decisions and legislation. But the CEO and other officers, are they not people already? Dont they already have rights? And their corporations, are these "entities" not now "Super People", with Super Rights? I don't have five million bucks to push my agenda, replete with lies. Corporations are now people, only.. much better, immune from prosections, but more American that you or I. (NOT!) At least do this. Pass the Disclose Act. At least tell us who these Super Donors are, so we can learn who it is we sold our democracy to. http://www.demanddisclosurenow.org
Thank you for the article.
Jeffey Dumbya is a good little slave to his corporate masters. Of COURSE the executives despise unions, which have the ability to bargain their skills and labor for a living wage, instead of being HAPPY to get a dollar an hour plus tips, and HAPPY that the billionaires pay less in taxes overall than a schoolteacher.
Jeffey, we know you can't being stupid, being a teabaglican and all, so go try to read your comic book and quit parroting the lies the power-mad neocon-nazis have been drilling into what passes for your ability to repeat simplistic and inaccurate slogans.
You don't like "socialism," eh? You "revere individual liberty"? Fine. Stay off the roads. Plant your own food. Make your own clothes. And hunt around on foot for plants to make medicine with. Have fun with the trial and error. You're not allowed to use that socialist library, much less the communist commune of the web and the internet.
America is "center/right"? Well, the repukelibaggers are, with their bigotry, ignorance, vicious cowardice, and mob behavior.
"Center/right" means "Somebody tell me what to do. Wrap it in cotton candy so I don't have to think."
The Progressive Left is desperately trying to mitigate the disasters created by the Reagan-Bush-Gingrich-Bush regimes in their agenda of establishing a plutocracy. Stealing elections, packing the courts with corrupt ideologues, deregulating industries that collapsed under their own greed ... while poking their laws into our private lives.
Thank you great article but why stop there. Campaign for real change. NO funds except from the government and that very limited. Campaigns also limited in time. Six weeks sounds good to me.

Top Ten Music Colleges in the Nation
Read about the top ten music colleges in the United States, where aspiring instrumentalists, singers and songwriters can perfect their skills. Find out what types of degrees are available at three high-profile schools, and get a sneak peek at other schools in the country that offer programs in music.

LAS VEGAS (February 19, 2010)Super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell injured his back earlier this week while sparring in Las Vegas, preventing him from training for his upcoming Super Six World Boxing Classic super middleweight showdown with Arthur Abraham. Dirrells injury has forced the fight to be rescheduled for Saturday, March 27, to be televised live on SHOWTIME® (10:30 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast).
Andre saw a specialist and he is going to be ready to fight on March 27, said Gary Shaw, Dirrells promoter. I know Andre is deeply disappointed about rescheduling but he IS determined to resume training for the super middleweight divisions most compelling fight..
Abrahams promoter Kalle Sauerland said: The most important thing is that Andre gets healthy. Arthur is ready to get in the ring with him and win the next three points in the tournament no matter when and where. We look forward to March 27 and the next spectacular victory of King Arthur.
Abraham, who has been training in the United States since February 8, said, Of course I was disappointed when I first heard of the postponement, but I am happy to take on Dirrell on March 27. I want him to be in top shape so that he has no excuses once I am done with him. This is the Super Six World Boxing Classic, the best fighting against the best, so I can understand that he does not want to face me when he is not at 100 percent.
My training has gone very well thus far, continued Abraham. I am in great shape and I will defend my tournament lead against him.

"Life accumulates. The difference of accumulating days that we are proud of versus days for which we are regretful is in controlling our thoughts in each moment."
"Joy, living in the moment, plus lack of fear equals abundance. Live for the moment without fear and you have all you truly need."
"Starting today, must forget what gone yesterday,appreciate what remains today & look forward what can be done tomorrow."
"Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them."
"If there is anything that mortals and immortals share in common, it is that there is nothing of greater importance for both of them, than to live fully in the present moment."
"Let go and live in the moment! The struggle comes from clutching. When I let go of the burden of my expectations, the illusion of control and look beyond the limited horizons of how I want the world to be, I open myself to possibilities too big to fit into my head."
"Savor the moment. Set a goal that you value and plan the steps to of getting there in a way that you will allow you to enjoy the journey. Many people believe that they can't be happy until they reach a destination. They work hard doing things that they don't want to do so that one day they might be happy. Is this a self-defeating strategy? For at times, tomorrow never comes. Enjoy the journey!"
"Our lives a series of defining moments, strung together by passing time. Surrender fully to this moment, because it is not the moment itself that defines us, but how we choose to live in it."

Even Musical Theater nerds such as myself might not be familiar with Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well & Living in Paris, currently performing at ACT in a joint production with ACT and the 5th Avenue Theatre. I, Myself, admit only a passing familiarity with the work and mostly from the covers that others have done of some of his songs. But now that I've seen it done I can understand the cultish following the show engenders and thankfully it was this production that filled the gap in my Musical Theater knowledge as this incredible ensemble took every angst ridden note and made them soar.

BWW Reviews: New Moon Theatre Ghost Hunts with HAINT
by Joseph Baker - Jun 1, 2014
For some months, I had been hearing strong, positive comments about a previous stage reading of actor/singer Justin Asher's original HAINT, and finally, tonight, after mounting publicity (including a spot on WKNO's Checking on the Arts and an article in The Commercial Appeal's GO MEMPHIS), I was able to attend the first, complete performance of the play, staged by New Moon Theatre at Theatre Works. Not since Jerre Dye's original CICADAS have I left a theatre in such a state of excitement; like Mr. Dye's play, which recently had a highly successful production in Chicago, this is a play born of a region and time - in this case, the isolated Ozarks of Arkansas in 1953.

BWW Reviews: Theatre Memphis Splits Atoms in COPENHAGEN
by Joseph Baker - Feb 16, 2015
Theatre Memphis' Next Stage has girded its loins and taken on the challenge of staging Michael Frayn's dense and difficult COPENHAGEN, and it must have known from the outset that such an esoteric piece will offer rewards to a select audience. The very title itself (though certainly appropriate) is not exactly audience-inviting; and the language, redolent with physics jargon and theories, is tantamount to watching a foreign film or listening to an opera without subtitles. Indeed, I had been warned by a very erudite theatregoer who had just seen it the previous night that there would be an exodus after intermission: There was. In spite of all this, the play can be richly rewarding for those who remain seated - even those whose only previous experience with physics came in the form of the woefully miscast Denise Richards as research physicist 'Dr. Christmas Jones' in the 'James Bond' adventure THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (my jaw dropped at that one - as it did recently while watching Jennifer Lopez assay the role of an instructor of classics in THE BOY NEXT DOOR . . . with 'Minnie Mouse'-voiced Kristen Chenowith as an Assistant Principal!)

BWW Reviews: THE GRINCH Stage Musical Offers Fun, Kid-Friendly Theatrics
by Michael L. Quintos - Dec 12, 2014
I'd have to be, well... a mean ol' Grinch to say anything remotely negative about the new non-equity touring stage production of DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL, so I'll try my best to keep it to a minimum. Honestly though, it's really not that hard, actually, because---surprise---the show, for the most part, is an honest-to-goodness adorable little musical with lots of kid-friendly comedy and a feel-good holiday message that really softens even the hardest of cynics. And yes, even I myself found my heart growing three sizes during the course of the show's smile-inducing opening night performance at Costa Mesa's Segerstrom Center for the Arts (it continues here for a brief run through December 14). Sure, the show isn't exactly the pinnacle of musical theater excellence, nor does it even attempt to be. But what it lacks in roof-raising, show-stopping splendor, it makes up for ten-fold in pure pluck---the kind that kids, especially, will eat right up like candy. (more...)

text: Known as "Rhodesy" on the circuit, Bryan Rhodes is a four-time Ironman winner from New Zealand. His sporting career started out in the water, and he has competed at a national level in both swimming and surf life saving. Rhodes came onto the international triathlon scene competing as a junior in the 1990 New Zealand Commonwealth Games Triathlon Team. His first major success was finishing 5th in the 1992 World Junior Triathlon Champs in Canada. With Paul Amey and Cameron Brown, Bryan took the World Junior Team Championship Title. In 1993 Bryan moved to France to base his training and competing in the European triathlon circuit. He then moved on to the American circuit using Boulder Colorado as a base. His first Ironman, the 1996 Ironman New Zealand in Auckland, was a turning point for Bryan, and he went on to win Ironman Malaysia in both 2001 and 2002 – with his 2001 win on a scorching 43 degree Celsius day! Byran also took the championship at the 2005 Ironman UK, and the 2008 Subaru Ironman Canada. As a native New Zealander, Byran was devastated by the major 2011 earthquake that hit Christchurch, and used his racing profile to help raise funds and awareness of the tragedy. At the 2011 Abu Dhabi triathlon, shortly after the quake, he organized a fundraiser to help survivors and raise funds for repair efforts. Rhodsey has been with the Cervélo family since 1998.

An honor bestowed on a popular Newhall eatery gives a new meaning to the phrase "Green eggs and ham."
The California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery named the Egg Plantation as one of the 2011 winners recognized through the Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) for their environmentally-friendly business strategy.
The Egg Plantation diverted 20,000 pounds of food waste from landfills, with an estimated disposal savings of $2,000. They are the first Certified Green Restaurant in the city and join almost 500 other restaurants nationwide who adhere to environmentally sensitive practices.

One of the programs adopted by the Egg Plantation that caught CalRecycle's attention was revamping their carryout containers. Owners Simon and Shannon Mee ended the use of styrofoam to-go containers, using containers made from sugar cane instead. In addition, all to-go cutlery is made from a biobased, compostable material.
According to the CalRecycle website, every entry was evaluated individually, based on reported waste prevention, recycling, composting, procurement and educational activities in calendar year 2010. WRAP 2011 honorees will receive certificates, window decals and a special logo to notify customers of their achievement.
Statewide, in 2010, 65 percent of all waste was diverted from landfills. Even with that impressive number, Californians still threw away more than 30 million tons of municipal solid waste in 2010 – 4.5 pounds per person, per day, and nearly 67 percent of this came from the commercial sector.
"This year's WRAP wiunners are evidence that businesses and organizations of all sizes are achieving significant waste reduction and recycling goals, all while helping protect the environment and preserve our natural resources," said CalRecycle Director Caroll Mortensen. "In 2011, we have 46 first-time winners and many organizations that have come back year after year with new and stronger waste prevention programs."
In total, the winning entries reported diverting more than 2.3 million tons of material from landfills and reported more than $200 million in cost savings. Single sites represented 225 of the winning entries, while 55 were for businesses with multiple locations.
The WRAP program has been in effect since 1993. The Mees will receive their certificate and recognition from the City during a brief ceremony Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. Egg Plantation is located at 24415 Walnut Street.

Rescuers find more bodies in Indonesia quake
More News from Associated Press
BLANG MANCUNG, Indonesia— Rescuers have recovered the bodies of another five people killed in an earthquake this week in Indonesia's Aceh province, bringing the death toll to 35.
Andra Pahlevi of the army's rescue team says the body of an 11-year-old girl was retrieved Friday from the rubble of a landslide triggered by the quake in Serempa village in Central Aceh. Sutopo Purwo Nugroho of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency says the bodies of four boys were retrieved Thursday from another landslide in the nearby village of Bah.
Tuesday's magnitude-6.1 quake also damaged more than 4,300 houses and buildings, injured 275 people and left about 6,500 people displaced.
Indonesia is prone to earthquakes. A magnitude-9.1 earthquake off Aceh in 2004 triggered a tsunami, killing 230,000 people in 14 countries.

The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, which shows art from museums and collections, is displaying "Fabergé Revealed" Nov. 14 through May 25, 2015, with 238 rare Fabergé artifacts, the largest public collection of Fabergé items outside of Russia.

Along with its famous fountains, the conservatory, high-end shopping, world-class restaurants and luxurious accommodations, the Bellagio is also home to the Gallery of Fine Art. Every year the gallery features a different exhibit, showcasing some of the most famous artists from around the world.
Opening Nov. 14, "Faberge Revealed" showcases 238 rare Fabergé artifacts, the largest public collection of Fabergé items outside of Russia. The name Fabergé is synonymous with exquisite craftsmanship, taste and the history of the Russian imperial family from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The House of Fabergé produced more than 150,000 objects of art, jewels and silver articles – many of which were one-of-a-kind, for the imperial family of Russia. Most famously, Fabergé designed a series of Easter eggs, some which are featured in this exhibit including the Imperial Pelican Easter Egg (1897). This egg was created to celebrate the Dowager Empress of Russia. It features a red-gold egg unfolding into eight oval frames, rimmed with pearls and inscribed with the names of the institutions that appear on the front. A pelican stands in a nest atop the egg feeding her young.
"These treasured objects encompass the beauty of art while also telling one of the most powerful stories in history – the fall of the Russian imperial family," said BGFA Executive Director Tarissa Tiberti. "Fabergé Revealed' will highlight each of the distinct styles displayed in the original House of Fabergé stores in St. Petersburg, Moscow and London centuries ago."
In addition to the Fabergé treasures, a small collection of "Fauxbergé" objects -- Fabergé look-alikes once believed to be originals -- will also be on display.

Friday April 26, 2013
THERE are about 12,500 Indian taxi drivers in the country and more than 5,000 of them gathered at the Murugan Temple in Batu Caves recently for the launch of a new loan scheme formulated by the Special Secretariat for Empowerment of Indian Entrepreneurs (Seed) and Tekun Nasional.
About 2,500 Indian drivers operate taxis using their own permits while the rest rent from companies, cooperatives or individuals.
The scheme provides financing for up to 20% of the cost of a new taxi and is meant to cover the down payment, which ranges between RM6,000 and RM18,000 per unit.
Drivers are unlikely to have the cash for the remaining 80% and would have to seek financing from taxi companies if denied by the banks.
Taxi companies charge higher interest rates for their rental-purchase facility than banks for the hire-purchase loans.
The former uses a daily rate method for simplicity and charges are waived for vehicle inspections and during festive holidays, plus an incentive for prompt payment.
Upon signing a rental-purchase or hire-purchase agreement, drivers are committed to repay the loan in a fixed number of years.
It would be preposterous to expect banks to provide EPF and Socso benefits to those who have taken hire-purchase loans but this is exactly what many drivers have been asking from taxi companies.
Banks may charge lower interest rates but many customers who default on car loans have been taken to court and they top the list of bankrupts in the country.
On the other hand, those who default with taxi companies would have their cabs repossessed or the drivers surrender them voluntarily and that would normally be the end of the episode.
Unknown to many taxi drivers, the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) has already arranged with Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) to provide easy loans at low interest rates to taxi drivers.
They may enquire with SPAD on this facility or directly with BSN before seeking financing from taxi companies, as many indirectly charge the outlawed "football money".
The 20% financing by Seed and the balance by banks or taxi companies would no doubt be welcomed by the drivers but it would also create a new problem as it is never prudent for any business to be fully financed.
When drivers fall behind in repayments and the amount owed far exceeds the value of the vehicle, many of them would have no qualms ripping off passengers as there was little to lose.
It is ironical for taxi drivers to lament that life as a cabby is tough and yet choose to remain as one.
Those who wish to continue as taxi drivers should accept the inherent conditions and challenges of the job, and not try to justify their undesirable behaviour.
Many of those who turned up at Batu Caves were hoping for some good news on individual permits as about 10,000 Indian drivers are renting taxi permits.
They will be disappointed to learn that there are more than 12,000 applications for the 800 permits to be released over the next few months.
The average rate for renting a taxi permit is RM18 per day inclusive of third-party motor insurance, road tax and vehicle inspection fee.
As such, getting their own permit would mean a saving of around RM500 monthly, but this amount is easily wiped off with more taxis on the road.
Efforts to help taxi drivers may be sincere but the programmes need to be more holistic in order to truly benefit the long suffering cabbies.

U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer joined more than 30 of her Senate colleagues today to reintroduce the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. The narrowly-tailored DREAM Act gives undocumented students a chance to earn legal status if they came to the U.S. as children, are long-term U.S. residents, demonstrate good moral character and complete two years of college or military service in good standing.
Senator Boxer said, "It is long past time to provide a path to success for these bright and hard-working young people, who grew up here and call America home. Our country is stronger when we nurture our best and brightest."

Due to their undocumented status, tens of thousands of immigrant students with good grades are shut out of the American dream. Through no fault of their own, these students were brought to the United States by their parents at a young age and have spent most of their lives here. As President Obama said in a speech yesterday on the need for immigration reform, "These are kids who grew up in this country, love this country, and know no other place as home. The idea that we would punish them is cruel and it makes no sense. We are a better nation than that."
The DREAM Act would benefit the U.S. Armed Forces. The Defense Department's FY 2010-12 Strategic Plan includes the DREAM Act as a means to help "shape and maintain a mission-ready All Volunteer Force." Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who supports the DREAM Act, says it "will result in improved recruitment results and attendant gains in unit manning and military performance." General Colin Powell has also endorsed the DREAM Act.
The DREAM Act would stimulate the American economy. A UCLA study concluded that DREAM Act participants could contribute $1.4-$3.6 trillion to the U.S. economy during their working lives.
The DREAM Act includes important restrictions to prevent abuse. DREAM Act participants are not eligible for Pell and other federal grants and are subject to tough criminal penalties for fraud. DREAM Act applicants must apply within one year of obtaining a high school degree/GED or the bill's enactment and must prove eligibility. To be eligible, an individual must submit biometric information; undergo background checks and a medical exam; register for the Selective Service; demonstrate the ability to read, write, and speak English; and demonstrate knowledge of the history and government of the U.S. An individual cannot qualify if he or she is ineligible for immigration relief on criminal or national security grounds.
The DREAM Act has broad bipartisan support in Congress and from the American people. In the 111th Congress, the DREAM Act passed the House and received a strong bipartisan majority vote from 55 Senators. According to a recent poll by Opinion Research Corporation, 70 percent of likely voters favor the DREAM Act, including 60 percent of Republicans.
The DREAM Act is supported by business, education, labor, civil rights and religious groups. The AFL-CIO, the National PTA, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the CEOs of Fortune 100 companies like Microsoft and Pfizer, and dozens of colleges and universities have all endorsed the DREAM Act.
A similar bill was introduced in the House of Representatives today by Representatives Howard Berman (D-CA), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL).

Michael Ryder gets back on the ice with the Bruins
|02.16.09 at 5:19 pm ET
Injured Bruins winger Michael Ryder returned to the practice ice on Monday afternoon and took part in his first on-ice drills with the team since getting hit in the face with a high stick vs. the Ottawa Senators back on Feb. 5. Ryder suffered significant injuries to the nose and sinus areas of his face that ultimately required surgery. To protect himself during practice, Ryder skated with the team wearing a facial cage similar to the ones used by college hockey players and also confirmed that he'll be wearing a protective visor for the rest of the season. The doctors described the facial injury as something akin to a "crushed egg-shell".
Ryder estimated he is roughly 2-3 weeks away from returning to game action as he regains his "wind" following the inactivity. Ryder also said he'll travel with the team through Carolina, Tampa and Florida and continue practicing with the team while he heals.
"It was good to be back on the ice with the team," said Ryder, who said the cage would take some getting used to for breathing and sight purposes. "(The injury) felt good enough to get back out and skate. I was lucky that it wasn't my eye. That was a major concern.
"You've seen a lot of guys get hit there and it can be really bad damage, so I'm just fortunate that it's only a fracture and that it's going to heal," added Ryder.

HOUSTON, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- SpectraCell Laboratories has added an innovative blood test called Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2) to its arsenal of advanced cardiovascular testing aimed at early detection of cardiovascular disease. The new test measures the amount of a specific enzyme in blood that occurs when there is an active atherosclerotic process that could lead to the rupture of plaque and cause a heart attack or stroke.
Lipid measurement and cardiac imaging cannot identify which patients have rupture-prone plaque with thin fibrous caps. Therefore, finding serologic markers with high specificity for advanced plaque is a useful diagnostic tool in cardiovascular risk stratification. The Lp-PLA2 test helps physicians to identify patients who would benefit from more aggressive therapy and is especially recommended for intermediate and high-risk patients.
Once thought to be a simple process caused by the deposition of too much cholesterol in the arteries, atherosclerosis now appears to be a condition where the arterial lesions are inflamed, eventually leading to plaque rupture causing a heart attack or stroke. Lp-PLA2 is associated with a doubling of cardiovascular risk.
"What makes Lp-PLA2 so unique is that it is very specific to vascular inflammation, making it an excellent indicator of active atherosclerosis, which is otherwise difficult to detect through conventional methods," states Dr. Jan Troup, Ph.D., Director of Lipid Science at SpectraCell. "It tells a doctor that the risk of MI or stroke is higher due to developing vulnerable plaque. Doctors can use this information to modify treatment strategies determined by lipoprotein particles alone."
Since stroke is the leading cause of disability and third leading cause of death in America, early detection and prevention is key, especially since 68% of heart attacks and strokes occur from blood clots, not narrowing of the arteries.
Although Lp-PLA2 is a

I'm about a month in to my Pearl White 60. It has completely changed how I look at new car ads from other manufacturers. When they tout their "all new," "innovative," or "advanced" cars I can't help smiling and thinking, "um, not so much."
On another note, last Sunday I made my first trip to the gas station since taking delivery of my MS. I needed fuel for my motorcycle. It felt like visiting a museum.
Since Jan. 9th I've needed one gallon of gas for the lawnmower. It felt very odd to purchase gas. I parked in the adjacent lot and walked over. It just didn't feel right to pull up to the pump in the MS.
I just received my first credit card statement with no gas bills on it. I received my model S on April 11, 2013.
I went for 20+ years to the same gas station and folks there have been always nice and personal. I think I will go and buy some sparkling water.
My family is so tired of hearing me laugh and mock all other car ads... those ads are pathetically grasping at straws.
I wonder if horse ads (when the car was invented) talked about the new 'technology' surrounding their new poop scooper?
Also ask for a pint of electrons. Then giggle.

The Reserve Bank of India said on Friday that the "Developments in the global economy over the past few weeks are a matter of serious concern," said RBI. Since its first quarter review of July 26, the RBI said, "the global macroeconomic outlook has worsened." There is growing consensus that sluggishness will persist longer than earlier expected.
Concerns over the sovereign debt problem in the euro area have added further uncertainty to the prospects of recovery.
Growth momentum is weakening in the advanced economies amidst heightened concerns that recovery may take longer than expected earlier. Although India's exports have performed extremely well in the recent period, this trend is unlikely to be sustained in the face of weakening global demand. This, combined with the slowing down of domestic demand, to which the monetary policy stance is also contributing, suggests that risks to the growth projection for 2011-12 made in the July review are on the downside.
