Posted by , No Comments

Tuesday, January 24, 2017

On Sunday, the Bryan brothers announced their retirement from the United States’ Davis Cup team. Twins Bob and Mike Bryan have participated in the tennis tournament representing the US for almost fourteen years.

Mike and Bob Bryan hold the record of winning sixteen grand slam titles together. The 38-year-old duo made the announcement via Instagram with Bob saying, “Mike and I want to formally announce our decision to step down from our role as active members of the U.S. Davis Cup team”. They won the Davis Cup for the USA in 2007 calling it “one of the greatest highlights” of their career and first represented the country in 2003.

The duo defeated their compatriot Brian Baker and his Croatian partner Nikola Mekti? 6–3, 7–6 in the Australian Open’s Round of 16 today. They have won six Australian Open together. They have won an Olympics gold medal in London in 2012 and one bronze medal in Beijing in 2008. In mixed-doubles, Bob betters the two winning seven Grand Slams as compared to Mike’s four.

The United States is to play against Switzerland in the upcoming Davis Cup tournament next month.

Australian House of Representatives acknowledges Cyclone Larry efforts

Posted by , No Comments

Wednesday, March 29, 2006The Australian House of Representatives today acknowledged the impact of the recent devastating Cyclone Larry and the efforts of the support given to the residents and communities of north Queensland in order to restore normal life.

Phillip Ruddock (Liberal, Berowra) moved a motion expressing this after Question Time today, which included a description of the devastation wrought on the area, the response by the Australian Government and the Australian Defence Force, and thanked the efforts of people for their “willingness to roll up their sleeves and get on with the job of cleaning up and rebuilding their towns and centres.”

The Leader of the Opposition, Kim Beazley (Labor, Brand) supported the motion, and congratulated the move to put General Peter Cosgrove in charge of operations, stating that soldiers “know how to work through logistics issues…how to work around officialdom or blockages”, praised both local federal and state members of Parliament, and especially the Labor Queensland state premier, Peter Beattie.

Bob Katter (Independent, Kennedy) was more critical in his speech. Katter thanked Beattie for his immediate response, but also described his confrontation with him and said how first responses were “simply not working”, but also praised Beattie’s decision on Cosgrove. Katter also described how the incident was “the worst natural disaster inAustralian history” and how the banana industry in north Queensland was decimated. Katter went on to describe the financial problems of the people in the region, the “huge gap” between the cost of rebuilding and insurance payouts, also asking “Are we going to pay people virtually nothing to sit on their backsides to do nothing or are we going to pay them a decent wage and have them rebuilding our communities for us?”

The debate is set to continue in the Main Committee, as an opportunity for many more members of the House of Representatives to speak to the motion, without taking up further time in the Chamber.

Toyota poised to recall 270,000 Prius vehicles

Posted by , No Comments

Friday, February 5, 2010

Japan’s Nikkei newspaper reported that Toyota is poised to recall 270 thousand gas-and-electric Prius vehicles (model ZVW30) sold in the US and Japan between May and December 2009, due to a flaw in the car’s anti-lock braking system.

Takayuki Fujimoto, a transport ministry official, said the government has yet to receive a recall notice from Toyota. “Nothing has been decided on whether we will recall or not”, he stated. Toyota cannot announce a recall in Japan until it notifies the ministry, but said it was currently discussing how to deal with the issue with Japan’s transport ministry and U.S. safety authorities.

Toyota has faced a US lawsuit alleging it covered up safety problems. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched a formal investigation into the braking problems on Thursday after 124 complaints from consumers.

Since May 2009, two hundred thousand new Prius cars (model ZVW30) have been sold in Japan and another 103,200 in the United States.

Gunman shoots doctor, then kills mother and self at Maryland hospital

Posted by , No Comments

Thursday, September 16, 2010

A man shot a faculty physician as well as his own mother before killing himself at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. The shooting occurred on the eighth floor of the Nelson Building, the hospital’s main building. Baltimore police found the suspected shooter, who had been barricaded inside his mother’s hospital room for several hours before killing himself and his mother.

At around 11:15 a.m. EDT (1515 UTC), an unnamed doctor was shot in the chest at a patient area of the Nelson Building’s thoracic center. All major hospital facilities were placed under a lockdown, and some medical personnel were evacuated from the Nelson Building. The doctor was sent to surgery at the hospital, and police spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said that the doctor will likely survive the incident. He was not aware of any connections between the suspect and the doctor, who was in critical condition.

A nurse at the hospital told The Baltimore Sun that the shooter was dissatisfied with how his mother had been treated and even said that he was going to jump out of a window. The nurse said that, upon hearing gunshots, she ran.

Earlier, Baltimore area police said that they were “in the process of a tactical operation” to capture the gunman, who was holed up on the eighth floor. A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said that it had been assisting local police in the incident. A Johns Hopkins spokesperson had previously said that authorities had taken the shooter into custody, but police said that the report was incorrect.

The suspect, who had not taken any hostages, was described as a black man in his thirties. After a standoff lasting for three hours, law enforcement officers moved into his mother’s hospital room, and found both him and his mother dead from gunshot wounds to their heads. The suspect was first identified as 50-year-old Warren Davis, and his mother as Jean Davis. Police later said that “Warren Davis” was an alias and that his real name was not known.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld, who said that the department is “treating this case as a murder-suicide,” said that no officers reported hearing the shots that killed the two. Police had previously said that the gunman had been shot and killed by police, but police later said that that report was incorrect.

Relief For Achy Feet And Legs

Posted by , No Comments

Dr Ben Paul

By Vincent Platania

At the end of a long day, most people ease out of their shoes and put their feet up. Their shoes feel tighter than when they put them on in the morning. Their feet are sweaty and hot. They want relief for achy feet and legs. The culprit in all this discomfort is gravity. Even when someone sits most of the day, blood and other fluids pool in the feet and ankles, making feet and lower legs swell, Standing or walking most of the day increases this effect, which is why podiatrists recommend trying on and buying shoes late in the afternoon, when feet have had a chance to swell.

There are some professions and some activities that aggravate this normal swelling. Teachers, retail salespeople, traffic police, nurses, assembly-line workers, and post office employees who walk a beat are among those who have jobs that keep them on their feet most of an eight-hour day. Dancers, hikers, children who play hard, and athletes who train for long periods on their feet also experience sore feet. For whatever reason, whether it is because of normal activities or pursuits that demand the utmost from our feet, most of us have sore feet at the end of the day and want to find quick, easy remedies to find relief from achy feet and legs.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAoT1tOt2J0[/youtube]

What is the quickest way to find the relief that you need? Find a comfortable chair and footstool, or somewhere you can sit for a while with your feet at least as high as your hips. Take those shoes offand any socks or stockings that might also be binding your circulation. The goal is to allow gravity to undo some of what it did during your busy day. Put your feet up for at least thirty minutes so the swelling can go down. While your feet are elevated, circle your ankles, wiggle your toes, and point and flex your feet several times. These exercises will relieve any cramping, and will help the pooled body fluids move out of your feet. An added benefit is that you can begin taking care of yourself at the end of your busy day while you watch the news, read the paper, or visit with your family.

After the swelling has had a chance to go down, you are ready for the next step. Fill a small tub with water at a comfortable temperature. Some foot tubs available today also have a whirlpool feature, which is especially relaxing. To really pamper yourself, add some Epsom salts or other bath salts, or a little bit of bath oil or mild bubble bath.Let your sore feet soak for thirty minutes if possible, but at least for fifteen minutes.

After you have finished your soak, lift your feet one at a time and scrub the sides and bottoms with a mild soap and a bath brush with medium bristles. Make sure you wash carefully between your toes. Rinse thoroughly, and pat each foot dry with a soft, clean towel. This is a good time to push back the cuticles of your toenails or to trim the toenails while they are soft and easier to cut. You are now ready to rub a good foot lotion into your tired foot muscles, paying special attention to your arches, ankles, and the pads of your heels and balls of your feet. Also, take time to rotate each toe several times and give it a gentle tug. You will feel the tension drain out of your feet and legs.

To take the best care possible of your feet, spend a little time caring for your shoes. Have at least two pair that are well-fitting and in good repair that you can wear to work. Alternate wearing your shoes so they have a chance to dry out before you wear them again. To absorb perspiration and reduce foot and shoe odor, wear absorbent stockings or socks. You might also try a deodorant foot spray or a foot relief spray when you dress or any time you would like a little relief from hot, tired feet when you are away from home or dont have the time for a full foot soak.

At the end of your day, when you can steal some time just for yourself, find relief for your achy feet and legs. You have worked hard and earned that special reward.

Demonstrators protest Condoleezza Rice’s trip to Australia

Posted by , No Comments

Thursday, March 16, 2006

Anti-war demonstrators in Sydney, Australia on Thursday dubbed U.S. Secretary of State Dr Condoleezza Rice a “war criminal” and “murderer.” Two protesters were evicted and five people were arrested during protests against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Dr Rice, on a three-day trip to Australia, said she understood why people found it hard to be positive about Iraq when all they saw on their television screens was violence.

Soon after Rice began her speech at the University of Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music, two protesters shouted from the rear of the auditorium, “Condoleezza Rice, you are a war criminal,” and “Iraqi blood is on your hands and you cannot wash that blood away.” Standing with their palms towards her, the young man and woman repeated their accusation until security intervened to remove them from the hall.

About 15 minutes into Rice’s address, a third protester appeared at a balcony door, interrupting her speech as she referred to freedom. “What kind of freedom are you talking about? You are a murderer,” said the demonstrator before he was quietly escorted from the hall. “I’m very glad to see that democracy is well and alive here at the university,” she said.

In her speech, Rice sought to justify the U.S. occupation of Iraq, describing Iraqis as now more free. One student asked about abuses committed by U.S. forces at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. She said the abuses had made her “sick to her stomach.” However, she defended Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where human rights groups say detainees are held in inhumane conditions and in detention flouting international laws.

Before Rice began her speech, about 50 protesters were gathered at the front gates of the Conservatorium. The group were confronted by police on horseback and by police dogs. Police used the horses to charge into the group of activists and push them back, as a police helicopter hovered.

A police spokeswoman said the group was blocking pedestrian access to the building and that police had spent more than 20 minutes warning them to move. The police then moved in and pushed the crowd back 20 metres. Police say five people have been charged with “hindering police in the execution of their duties.”

The “Stop the War Coalition” says Rice is a “war criminal” and is not welcome in Australia. The group’s spokeswoman, Anna Samson, says the protest is one of many planned in the lead-up to the third anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq on March 20.

Paddy Gibson, from the University of Sydney’s Student’s Council, says the protest is in opposition to the Iraq war, and to the use of the University of Sydney’s campus to host Rice, “the most powerful woman in the world,” who they say is a war criminal. “They’re saying, ‘… you’ve got Sydney Uni’s support to stand up and peddle your murderous hate speeches,’ which is what we see it,” he said.

“You’ve got 180,000 people killed, as we said, for no other reason than strategic control of the region’s oil resources. And the anti-Muslim racism that’s been whipped up to justify this war is being felt by Sydney University students,” said Mr Gibson.

Police report drug haul seizure worth up to £30 million in Brownhills, England

Posted by , No Comments

Monday, December 2, 2013

Police in the West Midlands in England today said nearly 200 kilograms worth of drugs with value possibly as great as £30 million (about US$49 million or €36 million) has been seized from a unit in the town of Brownhills. In what an officer described as “one of the largest [seizures] in the force’s 39 year history”, West Midlands Police reported recovering six big cellophane-wrapped cardboard boxes containing cannabis, cocaine, and MDMA (“ecstasy”) in a police raid operation on the Maybrook Industrial Estate in the town on Wednesday.

	The impact this seizure will have on drug dealing in the region and the UK as a whole cannot be underestimated

The seized boxes, which had been loaded onto five freight pallets, contained 120 one-kilogram bags of cannabis, 50 one-kilogram bags of MDMA, and five one-kilogram bricks of cocaine. In a press release, West Midlands Police described what happened after officers found the drugs as they were being unloaded in the operation. “When officers opened the boxes they discovered a deep layer of protective foam chips beneath which the drugs were carefully layered”, the force said. “All the drugs were wrapped in thick plastic bags taped closed with the cannabis vacuum packed to prevent its distinctive pungent aroma from drawing unwanted attention.” Police moved the drugs via forklift truck to a flatbed lorry to remove them.

Detective Sergeant Carl Russell of West Midlands Police’s Force CID said the seizure was the largest he had ever made in the 24 years he has been in West Midlands Police and one of the biggest seizures the force has made since its formation in 1974. “The impact this seizure will have on drug dealing in the region and the UK as a whole cannot be underestimated”, he said. “The drugs had almost certainly been packed to order ready for shipping within Britain but possibly even further afield. Our operation will have a national effect and we are working closely with a range of law enforcement agencies to identify those involved in this crime at whatever level.”

Expert testing on the drugs is ongoing. Estimates described as “conservative” suggest the value of the drugs amounts to £10 million (about US$16.4 million or €12 million), although they could be worth as much as £30 million, subject to purity tests, police said.

Police arrested three men at the unit on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug. The men, a 50-year-old from Brownhills, a 51-year-old from the Norton area of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, and one aged 53 from Brownhills, have been released on bail as police investigations to “hunt those responsible” continue. West Midlands Police told Wikinews no person has yet been charged in connection with the seizure. Supplying a controlled drug is an imprisonable offence in England, although length of jail sentences vary according to the class and quantity of drugs and the significance of offenders’ roles in committing the crime.

Turner Broadcasting apologizes for Boston scare

Posted by , No Comments

Friday, February 2, 2007

An advertising campaign for shows on Adult Swim, a programming block on Cartoon Network, which is owned by Turner Broadcasting, gave local and federal law-enforcement a scare when devices were discovered on eight different bridges and roads.

The U.S. city of Boston was snarled in traffic jams January 31 as police investigated devices with flashing lights representing a cartoon character were placed around bridges and other areas throughout the city.

Different governmental agencies were brought in to help deal with the problem, which was later found to be no threat, as described by Boston Police Department spokesperson Eddy Chrispin. A bomb squad was deployed under supervision of the FBI, Boston police, the US Coast Guard, and different federal agencies.

The advertising campaign, for the widely popular program Aqua Teen Hunger Force, featuring characters from that series, was in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and many other major US cities.

Two people have been arrested for alleged participation in this incident.

Turner Broadcasting Systems hired New York marketing firm Interference Inc. which in turn hired individuals in the various cities to place the devices promoting the cartoon’s fifth season, scheduled for a February 23 premiere. Road and rail traffic was disrupted by police as they investigated and removed the devices.

The mostly flat devices resemble two-foot-square Lite-Brites with batteries attached to the bottom and visible wires.

G4TV has dubbed the incident “Aquagate” on its broadcast of Attack of the Show segment The Feed.

It is not known why the devices took police several weeks to notice, nor why the devices were believed to be dangerous.

Platelet Gels in Plastic Surgery

dave4

Not everyone looks forward to any surgical procedure. In fact, even the most enthusiastic person about getting the best results from any procedure certainly feels uneasy and is concerned about the whole thing.

What if the scars wont fade? What if I dont heal that fast? Would I be getting good results out of this? Is this worth it all?

There are a lot more concerns of course. The list could go on, but they would only show one thing: going through surgery, no matter how amazing the consequences would be, is not easy especially if the focus shift on to the fearsome world of wounds, scars, and results.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RaBaAi0aIY[/youtube]

Fortunately, a lot of these worries can be eliminated now that platelet gels have come into existence. Platelet gels, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has been known to improve the healing of surgical wounds, which in turn minimizes infection, swelling, pain, bruising, and scarring. PRP does all this while hastening the closure of the wound and improving incision lines.

Platelet-Rich Plasma is derived from the patients own blood. At the time of surgery, the plastic surgeon draws approximately 50 cc of the patients blood and he places that in a specialized centrifuge that spins and automatically separates the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma is further centrifuged to concentrate the autologous platelets and the patients natural growth factors. The plastic surgeon can now use it as needed in the surgical procedure.

PRP is 100% biocompatible and safe as it poses no infectious risks to patients due to the fact that it came from the patients own plasma.

The issue behind faster wound healing is largely attributed to the role platelets play in the whole process. Platelets provide initial homeostasis and release mediators to help modulate the inflammatory response. Growth factors, which are found in platelets, are proteins that aid in tissue or wound repair, which starts during clot formation. This way, patients undergoing plastic surgery like rhinoplasty, will be assured that the procedure wont scar them for life, thanks to this amazing technique.

Tracing its roots, Platelet-Rich Plasma was introduced in the oral and maxilofacial surgery years ago. A preliminary study concerning the use of PRP has shown that the injury of the alveoloplasty healed more quickly in the patients in which plasma enriched gel was employed. Patients experienced less pain and edema in the postoperative period. Hence, the same study recommends Platelet Rich Plasma as a valid protocol for the reconstruction in patients with congenital alveolar clefts.

With PRPs excellence in speeding up the healing process, it is of no surprise that plastic surgeons are using it for their surgical operations. Besides, PRP is the only available product that contains elevated levels of natural occurring growth factors. That makes it the only solid and rational choice.

Individuals seeking help in improving their looks without the terror of scars can now fully place their confidence in the plastic surgery field. The methods are generally gearing towards giving patients the best results possible, while minimizing, if not eliminating the discomfort and hassle normally associated with the procedure.
