Our friend and coleague Nrayanji Lal Das Succumbed to BLOOD Cancer he was bearing for last Ten years on Thurseday, 28th May, 2009.

 

His condition was critical. Friend Pramod and Biman informed us that he had been admitted in ICU. Since we worked with the 49 years old man till last week, we never EXPECTED DEATH so close.

 

 We, Dr Mandhata Singh,Rambihari and Me, overstayed beyond working hours just because some of us visited the Hospitol late in the Night and we had to use just one car.

 

passed the extra time view a Hindi Feature Film !

 

 We left the office around 2.15 AM while he EXPIRED on 1AM !

 

Next Evening while we all gathered in the office, we were informed that Narayanji was no more and lst rites have been complete. ntrayanji was just a PHOTO.

 

Naraynji left behind his young wife and two sons. he belonged to Mithila Darbhanga, Bihar. We all tried to help Nrayanji but could nopt help!

 

While I look on my BLEEDING Geopolitics, I see the face of the Lost friend everywhere pasted in the Horizon which we may not touch!

 

Blood Cancer struck we are and we may not get RID of it knowing DEATH so CERTAIN!


We lack so much so the basic Awareness to defend ourselves!

 

We find ourselves always in MOURNING Mode but have not the ART to fight predestined Death Thrust upon the ENSLAVED majority lot of us!

 

The world must ensure that North Korea isn't rewarded for widely condemned actions such as its recent underground nuclear test, South Korea's defense minister said on Saturday!

 

 Amnesty International called Saturday for an independent probe into the number of civilians killed in the final weeks of Sri Lanka's civil war and also urged the UN to reveal its own estimates!

 

Aung San Suu Kyi's lawyer says Burmese military authorities allowed the detained opposition leader to meet with her lawyers for two hours Saturday in Rangoon's notorious Insein prison, apparently to prepare for final arguments in her trial!

 

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday that his administration will not resume peace talks with Israel before the latter stops settlements on occupied lands!

 

 Describing India as one of the emerging power centres, the US has said it is looking at the country to be a "partner" and a "provider of security" in the "Indian Ocean and beyond" in the coming years. "In the coming years, we look to India to be a partner and net provider of security in the Indian Ocean and beyond," US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said in a speech at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Singapore.

 


Identifying India as one of the emerging power centres, Gates said: "When it comes to India, we have seen a watershed in our relations -- cooperation that would have been unthinkable in the recent past." Transcripts of his speech were made available by the Department of Defence here.


 


"As Admiral Keating, commander of United States Pacific Command, recently wrote, it is a 'genuine convergence of national interests'," Gates said. During his speech, Gates also praised India's positive role in development of Afghanistan post-Taliban.


 


The Defence Secretary said the strategic landscape of Asia continues to evolve as new and re-emerging centres of power -- from China and Russia, to India and Indonesia -- combined with other shifts, give impetus to the search for a new security architecture in the region.


 

Tata Steel UK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Steel Ltd, has won approval from banks to ease conditions on 3.7 billion pounds of loans it took to buy Anglo-Dutch Corus, the company said on Saturday.

 

Two bankers close to the deal had confirmed the development to Reuters on Friday.

 

Tata Steel UK, which bought Europe's second-largest steelmaker in 2006, asked lenders to waive the loan's financial covenants in mid-May.


"As part of the agreement reached with banks, testing of the facility's earnings-related covenants will largely be suspended until March 2010 and will then resume with significantly higher flexibility than in the case of original covenants," it said in a statement.

 

The statement also said the interest costs would not increase in the remaining life of the loan and that the revised covenant did not include any additional finance from the lenders or rescheduling of debt servicing commitments.

 

As part of the package, Tata Steel pledged to repay about 200 million pounds ($304 million) of debt ahead of schedule and inject 425 million pounds into the company in a phased manner.

RACIST ATTACKS? Four Indian students have been brutally attacked in Australia in the last three weeks. ibnlive.com is on mobile now.

The first meeting of the expanded Union Cabinet on Saturday is understood to have discussed and approved the President's address to the joint sitting of Parliament on June 4.

 

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chaired the meeting which was also attended by Ministers of State with Independent charge. Singh is believed to have held deliberations with his team on implementing the 100-day programme of the government during the two-hour long meeting.

 

The Prime Minister has given each minister tasks to be achieved by concerned departments under the ministry within 100 days of the government taking office.

 

President Pratibha Patil's address to the joint sitting of Parliament on June four is expected to unveil the government's agenda for the year ahead in tune with the policies and programmes of the ruling party and its allies. The President's address is likely to incorporate its commitment to strengthening schemes like NREGA and economic policies to be followed in the wake of global recession and promises to weaker sections of society.

 

A suggestion to bring the long pending women's reservation bill at the earliest was made at the first meeting of the ruling UPA alliance recently presided by Chairperson Sonia Gandhi recently. Singh expanded his Council of Ministers on May 28.


 


Meanwhile, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has reacted to racial attacks on Indian students in Australia by rejecting an honorary doctorate offered to him by an Australian university. The Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane had offered the 66-year-old veteran a doctorate for his contribution to the world of entertainment and Bachchan had earlier accepted the title.


 


The honour was to be conferred on the star in July as a part of celebrations to commemorate a retrospective of his films to be inaugurated in the city.

 

"I have been witnessing with great dismay and shock, the recent violent attacks on Indian students in Australia, on the electronic media the entire day," Bachchan wrote on his blog.

 

"I mean no disrespect to the Institution that honours me, but under the present circumstances, where citizens of my own country are subjected to such acts of inhuman horror, my conscience does not permit me to accept this decoration from a country that perpetrates such indignity to my fellow countrymen," he added.

 

Australia has recently seen a series of attacks on Indian students, the most serious being the assault of Shravan Kumar, a 25-year-old student from Andhra Pradesh who is battling for life in a hospital here after being stabbed by a screwdriver by a group of teens in a weekend attack that also left three of his friends injured.


 

Notwithstanding the high level of unemployment globally, employers across the world including India are still facing trouble to fill vacant positions, staffing services firm Manpower said.

According to Manpower Inc's fourth annual talent shortage survey, 30 per cent of employers across the globe are still struggling to fill vacant positions available despite the global economic downturn, while in India the talent shortage figure stood at 20 per cent.

Employers who are facing the maximum difficulty in finding the right people to fill jobs are those in Romania (62 per cent), Taiwan (62 per cent), Peru (56 per cent), Japan (55 per cent), Australia (49 per cent), Costa Rica (48 per cent) and Poland (48 per cent).

"Despite high levels of unemployment in many markets, this year's talent survey suggests a mismatch between the type of individuals available for work and the specific skills that employers are looking for," Manpower Inc Chairman and CEO Jeffrey A Joerres said.

In the Asia Pacific region, the countries that are finding it difficult to find the right talent to fill jobs are in Taiwan (62 per cent), Japan (55 per cent), Australia (49 per cent) and New Zealand (39 per cent), China (15 per cent) and India (20 per cent).

        UPA government to send relief for Bengal cyclone victims


         


        Kolkata, May 30 (IANS) The central government will send relief material for West Bengal's cyclone victims, as also a team to assess the extent of devastation, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee said Saturday.


        Speaking to a Bengali television news channel in New Delhi, Banerjee said the decision was taken at a meeting of the union cabinet Saturday.


        Banerjee said that during the cabinet meeting, she had pointed to the sufferings of the cyclone victims and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had given instructions to send relief material to West Bengal.


        The prime minister also asked her to discuss the matter with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Home Minister P. Chidambaram, Banerjee said.


        'The three of us then sat together and decided that relief material will be sent immediately. But I have suggested that the relief be given directly to the district magistrates. If it is given to the state government, it will digest it and the victims won't get anything,' she added.


        'The relief can then be distributed through the panchayats (village councils) as they work at the grassroots level,' she said.


        The central government will also send a team of officials to assess the devastation and decide on a long-term financial package for the rehabilitation of the victims.


        Attacking the state government for its 'ineffectivenes' in providing relief to the thousands of victims, Banerjee said: 'The situation is very bad. The victims have no drinking water. Animal carcasses and human bodies are floating. People have no food. They are dying.'


        Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress ministers at the centre Saturday visited the cyclone-affected districts.


        Minister of State for Shipping Mukul Roy, Minister of State for Urban Development Sougata Roy and Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting C.M. Jatua visited the the worst-hit South 24 Parganas district.


        Minister of State for Tourism Sultan Ahmed toured the devastated areas in Hooghly and Howrah districts, while Minister of State for Rural Development Sisir Adhikari visited East Midnapore district.


        Roy alleged that the state government had adopted a partisan attitude in relief distribution. 'In 32 years, they have not even been able to put up embankments,' he alleged.


        'We had sent some relief a couple of days back. The government has not allowed these materials to be distributed and it has failed to provide adequate relief. Such is the situation that people are fleeing these places and going to Kolkata. Where are the state government ministers?' he asked.


        The official death count has been put at 117 in the cyclone, which tore through extensive parts of the state Monday levelling houses, uprooting trees, snapping power cables and leaving a trail of destruction in 13 of the state's 19 districts.


        Nearly 600,000 houses have been fully or partially damaged in the calamity, officials said.


        The South 24 Parganas and North 24 Parganas districts have been theworst-hit and hundreds of villages continued to be marooned with saltwater intrusion destroying the paddy crops.

        India should attract more foreign tourists: Selja

         


        Sat, May 30 04:40 PM



        New Delhi, May 30 (IANS) India needs to attract more foreign tourists, whose number has dipped after the Mumbai terror attack and due to economic depression, Tourism Minister Kumari Selja said Saturday.


        'The tourism sector has a lot of challenges apart from attracting foreign tourists to India. Our goal is also to focus on the Commonwealth Games next year,' she said after taking charge of the ministry.


        In the last few months, the numbers of foreign tourists visiting India has dipped. 'It is due to economic recession and also the terror attack in India,' she said, referring to the Nov 26 Mumbai attack in which over 170 people, including 26 foreigners, were killed.


        About 5.08 million tourists visited India in 2007, recording a growth of 14.56 percent. But since January, there has been a fall in numbers, with a 17.6 percent dip recorded that month with 487,262 foreign tourists coming to the country.


        However, in April, some improvement had been witnessed with 370,756 tourists visiting India - a dip of just 3.5 percent.


        'We need to counter this drop in numbers and aggressively promote the sector in partnership with the private sector,' said the minister.


        'We have to undertake vigorous campaigns with private companies as tourism is also a source of huge foreign exchange,' she added.


        Selja, who also holds the housing and urban poverty alleviation portfolio, said that preparations for the Commonwealth Games were in 'full swing' but the authorities needed to speed up the process further.


        'We have little time and we have to put everything on the fast track. An overwhelming number of tourists are expected, so we need to be prepared to cater to that. But India is ready to host the games,' she told reporters.


        When asked about the assault on and harassment of tourists in India in recent months, she described it as 'unfortunate'.


        'We have to work on creating a secure environment for the tourists,' she said.


        Highlighting the advertisement featuring Bollywood star Aamir Khan in which he advises people to respect tourists and not to harass them, Selja said it is the duty of all citizens to heed the actor's advice.


        'The advertisement is so good. It has been made so well and sends the right message,' she added.


        About the shortage of hotels in India, the tourism minister said: 'It is a challenge for the tourism ministry. Various government agencies are working on this and we need to work in tandem with them on this issue.'

        Sensex ends more than 329 points higher


         


        Mumbai Driven by the good news on the GDP front and the positive outlook expressed by new central ministers taking charge, the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex zoomed by another 329 points, continuing its upward journey for the third straight session.


        Firming trends in global markets on the back of positive economic data by the US also supported trading sentiment here.

        The Sensex, which had gained nearly 710 points in the past two sessions, gained another 329.24, or 2.30 per cent to close at 14,625.25 after rising to 14,727.28, a level last seen in September last year.

        Similarly, the 50-share National Stock Exchange index Nifty also surged 111.85 points, or 2.58 per cent, at 4,448.95 after touching an intra-day high of 4,488.05 and a low of 4,340.75.

        The Indian economy grew 6.7 per cent in 2008-09, considered better than expected especially at a time when the global economy is estimated to grow at only 2.6 per cent.

        With the sea change in trading sentiment, even non-specified small- and medium-cap stocks were also bought.

        Among the Sensex stocks, heavy-weight Reliance Industries gained 2.59 per cent at Rs 2,277.50, realty major DLF Ltd surged 8.41 per cent at Rs 403.30, engineering giant Larsen and Toubro was up 4.75 per cent at Rs 1,405.60 and ONGC moved up 3.99 per cent at Rs 1,175.90.

        Sibal to look into OBC quota in private institutes



         New Delhi Government will "look into" the issue of reservation for OBCs in private unaided educational institutions.


        "We will look into it," HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said to a question whether there would be reservation for OBCs in private and unaided educational institutions.

        The government has implemented 27 per cent seats for OBCs in Central Educational Institutions. Most of these institutions are implementing the quota in a staggering manner.

        The government has allocated additional funds towards enhancing infrastructure for increasing the seats to implement the OBC quota.

        To another question on educational institutions facing difficulties in implementing the OBC quota, Sibal said that "all new policies have teething problems. We will look into all those things". The 27 per cent quota in CEI has been implemented since 2007.


         


        UP imposes additional tax on selective commodities


         


        Lucknow In a bid to improve the state's fiscal health, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to impose an additional tax (AT) up to one per cent on a number of commodities from June 1.


        "This AT, which will come into effect from June 1, will be imposed on commodities which are already taxable under Value Added Tax (VAT) system," a notification, issued by the government in this regard on Friday, said.

        As per the notification, 0.5 per cent AT will be imposed in all the commodities covered in the second schedule of the VAT. Similarly, one per cent AT will be imposed on non-categories commodities covered in schedule five, on which 12.5 per cent VAT is being charged by the state government. At present, four per cent VAT is being charged on schedule four commodities.

        A senior tax department official said, the Government has already amended VAT to facilitate imposition of the new tax. "A proposal to implement AT was approved by the state cabinet by circulation on May 26," he added.

        However, the new tax will not be imposed on commodities covered in schedule one, three and four.

        "Provision of imposing five per cent AT for next five years had been made in the fresh amendment, but as of now only up to one per cent would be charged," the official said.

        Meanwhile, with the implementation of the new tax the state government has also decided to withdraw entry tax on eight commodities.

        "Last year, the Government imposed five per cent entry tax on fridge, AC and AC plants, Aluminium and steel products, all types of cables, marble stone and tiles, laptop and computer system, television, LCD, machines and spares and imported wood," the official said. He said from June 1 these items would be again exempted from the entry tax.


         

        Hate crimes in Oz: Indian students demand swift action

         

        Melbourne Under fire over the spate of racial attacks on Indian students, Australia scrambled to salvage its image as a "safe" destination for education for foreigners as anger swept through the community which demanded swift action against the perpetrators.

        Television footage of 25-year-old Shravan Kumar, who was stabbed with a screwdriver by a group of teenagers, battling for life in a hospital here sent shock waves among the 95,000-strong Indian student community in Australia which sought stern action against the culprits.

        The Federation of Indian Students in Australia (FISA) has called for a peace rally in Melbourne on Sunday in response to the growing anger in the community against increasing hate crimes.

        "The purpose is to create awareness about an increasing number of hate crimes within the state (of Victoria) and to promote racial harmony and peace," FISA said in a statement.

        The rally will start from Royal Melbourne Hospital, where Kumar is lying in coma, and will conclude at the Victorian Parliament House. A candle light vigil will also be held in support for the recent victims of crime.

        Another Indian student, Baljinder Singh, stabbed by two attackers early this week, has been discharged from hospital while Rajesh Kumar, who suffered 30 per cent burns after a petrol bomb was hurled at him in his home, was being treated in a Sydney hospital.

        Concerned over increasing attacks on Indians in Melbourne, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh raised the issue with his Australian counterpart Kevin Rudd on Friday night.

        Singh, who received a call from Rudd to congratulate him on assumption of office for a second term, used the opportunity to convey India's concerns over the attacks on Indian students in Australia.

        Rudd, who made no mention of the attacks having a racist overtone, said he was "concerned about any act of violence in the streets and suburbs of Australia's cities and towns and particularly when we are obviously hosts to students from around the world."

        "It is appalling in every sense. Any act of violence, any decent human being just responds with horror at the sorts of attacks which have occurred recently," he said.

        New Delhi wants that the attacks targeting Indians should be stopped forthwith and steps should be taken to ensure their safety and security.

        A police officer from the state of Victoria, which houses 47,000 Indian students, leaves for India this weekend on a mission to meet with students planning to visit Australia and to teach them how to stay safe, ABC reported.

        "It's mainly on crime prevention and safety strategy tips. Probably much the sort of information I'd give to my daughter if she was going overseas to another country," police community liaison officer leading Senior Constable Victor Robb was quoted as saying.

        However, the initiative by Victoria Police has been criticised as "ill conceived" by the local Islamic Council, which says police should spend more time arresting "racists" and less time trying to teach Indians to look less Indian, the report said.

        Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Julia Gillard, meanwhile, said that Australia, where over 4 lakh international students are based, "overwhelmingly is a safe country."

        "But I have recognised as minister for education that we need to do more to ensure that students who come to study in Australia from overseas are safe," she was quoted as saying by 'Radio Australia'.

        "I am moving to make sure that we listen to the voice of international students in this country about what would help them feel safer and be safer and I am of course working with our state and territory government's to make sure that police respond and respond well to these incidents," Gillard said.

        In his reaction to the recent assault cases, President of the National Union of Students, David Barrow, said that Federal and State Governments need to make Indian students feel more comfortable about approaching Australian authorities.

        "You need to feel welcomed by this country and right now we are treating international students like cash cows as opposed to human beings," he said.

        Did India really vote for Dr.Manmohan Singh?



        MIL/Balaji Chandramohan, May 30, 2009


        May 30, 2009 – Balaji Chandramohan - On the evening of May 16th, we heard that Dr. Manmohan Singh has been given a thumping victory by the Indian electorate. The Congress Party alone managed to get 206 seats while the principal opposition party Bharatiya Janata Party just managed 122 seats. The Left front which managed to pull the strings in the previous managed to get just 26 seats.
         
        The whole media hailed that Dr. Singh has been able to defeat both the right and left wing politics in the country. On the day of the election results we saw more smiles among the famous anchors in this country than even from some of the congress men.
         
        But the larger question is how Dr. Singh could win the elections despite having a poor record on terrorism, and so not even attempting to contest the elections. It is not a big deal to find answer to this simple question because this country was ruled by a mere 10 Englishmen from a small bungalow from Calcutta for 200 years. We believe we can be ruled by anybody or any one. If not then what rationale could it be explained that just that a person born in one particular family could be deemed to rule this country for ever. It is not a democracy but aristocracy
         
        All this huge talk of India having young politicians and ministers are at best hogwash. None of the politicians who are so called the young faces of India are from an ordinary, poor or even middle-class family. They had their ancestors serving the British loyally, their fathers and grand-fathers obeying the orders of the Congress high command and not it is their turn to follow the ritual to bright, young Rahul Gandhi so forth and so on.

        In my opinion this is a big victory of Indian democracy, we can give a big fist to it. No matter, how much the media may try its level best to portray Rahul Gandhi as a savior of India’ youth and the neo-sycophants as a reflections of modern India, the facts remain brutally true that these young faces don’t even ever dare to visit the slums near their Lutyens bungalow. One glaring example is how a poor widow residing nearby 16 Tugalq Crescent Road could have seen the Yuvaraj of Indian politics, Rahul Gandhi for five years.
         
        However, the larger question remains on who is responsible for this. I will say India didn’t vote for Manmohan Singh but rather the BJP FAILED to talk in the language of the masses.
         
        It failed to detect and envisage the failures of the United Progressive Government. Now, there is no way a post-mortem could correct the flaws, but rather a better sensitive approach from the BJP will save this nations from further ruins. First it needs a lesson or two about learning economics. It is a practical suggestion. The UPA government’s huge spending on stimulus package can have long-term implications on Indian economy. At present, though the GDP growth is 6.7% despite the global recession, the fiscal deficit is increasingly possessing huge demands on the Indian public. Right now, the fiscal deficit is 12% and it is set to increase with more stimulus package in the upcoming budget.

        The BJP needs to make the people understand the long-term implications of growing fiscal deficit. For that it needs to make economy its first line of attack on the UPA government. It will be better if it could borrow a phase from the famous Bill Clinton’s 1992 elections rhetoric “It is economy stupid, “Not only that it needs to borrow a phase or a catch-line from the former United States President but rather bring to focus on how he made the reeling Democrats to win back the elections after a political obscurity for nearly two decades.
         
        The BJP needs to emulate the style and functioning of the charisma involved with Bill Clinton to attract the voters into its fold by usually not losing focus on real issues such as economy and national security.
         
        In a recent book named False Economy written by  the famous World Editor of the Financial Times, Alan Beattie “ The way countries develop is as much a function of the choices made by ruling elites as it is of markets or natural resources, “ In this context, Alan Beattie cities the example of Argentina a serial debt defaulter.
         
        As a responsible opposition, the BJP needs to learn and teach the example of Argentina’s failure to the India people and forget for the time being on how the Indian judiciary failed in Argentina’s court to extradite a famous an Italian businessman!!.

        Wal-Mart opens first India wholesale outlet

        By ERIKA KINETZ , 05.30.09, 09:29 AM EDT



        India just got its first Wal-Mart.


        Bharti Wal-Mart ( WMT - news - people ) Private Ltd., a joint venture between India's Bharti Enterprises and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., opened its first wholesale outlet called "Best Price Modern Wholesale," in Amritsar in the northern state of Punjab on Saturday.



        The company plans to invest $100 million over the next three years to open 10 to 15 more wholesale outlets, which would employ 5,000 people across India.


        "We have put in a lot of planning and preparation over the past 12 months and are delighted that all the hard work will now bear fruit as we open the doors of our first cash-and-carry store in India," Chief Executive Raj Jain said in a statement. "We will generate significant job opportunities ... and we have been working closely with local suppliers to develop a sustainable and efficient supply chain."


        The opening comes at a politically crucial time for foreign firms eager to tap India's $430 billion retail market. The entry of big-box players in India has been controversial because small, mom-and-pop "kirana" shops are such an important part of the local economy. Many fear they'd be decimated if big players like Wal-Mart are allowed unfettered access to the Indian market.

        05/29/2009 4:19PM ET








        For now, Bharti Wal-Mart's Best Price shops can only sell their 6,000 food and nonfood items to other businesses because Indian law prohibits foreign companies from selling direct to customers in multi-brand retail outlets. Single-brand retailers, like Reebok, can run shops.


        In the past, officials from the ruling Congress party have said they wanted to allow foreign firms to sell directly to consumers, but couldn't push through that liberalization because of opposition from India's once-powerful communist parties - who were swept from power in just-concluded national elections.


        A Wal-Mart spokeswoman in India declined to comment on what the election results might portend, saying the government's directives on whether it will be more open to direct-to-consumer foreign retailing have been "vague."



        But Arvind Singhal, chairman of retail consulting firm Technopak Advisors Pvt. Ltd. in New Delhi, is hopeful the controversial investment ban will be eased within a year.


        "It's not going to be the first thing the government takes up," he said, but added, "Within the Congress party, there is not serious resistance at a senior level. I believe they should be able to push through retail investment in the next 12 months."


        Singhal said a successful opening of Wal-Mart, which sparked protests in India in 2007 and has attracted controversy in other parts of the world, "will send a very positive signal out" to global firms.


        "If their stores are allowed to open in India and there is no agitation it should reassure other retailers," he said.


        No reports of protests at the opening surfaced Saturday, but Bharti Wal-Mart had to delay the launch by nearly a week because of riots in the area sparked by the killing of a Sikh cleric in Austria.


        Foreign firms are also watching India closely to see if economic growth picks up enough to justify major investment, Singhal added.


        If India can return to 8 percent annual GDP growth, the retail market could hit $750 billion in five years - $90 billion more than if GDP stutters along at 6 percent a year, he said.


        "That makes it much more attractive," Singhal said. "Multibillion dollar retailers want significant revenues from India."


        Britain's Tesco PLC ( TSCDY-PK.PK - news - people ) teamed up with India's Tata Group last year to launch a wholesale business in India. France's Carrefour SA has also said it wants to expand into India. Neither has yet opened stores.


        Germany's Metro Group has opened five wholesale outlets in India since 2003, according to its Web site.

        Military retakes largest town in Swat Valley




        Map


         

        ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani troops have retaken the largest town in the Swat Valley from the Taliban as the army presses its offensive against militants in the country's northwest, the army spokesman said Saturday.


        Government forces had full control of Mingora, though they were still meeting pockets of resistance from fighters on the outskirts of the town, Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said.


        Abbas said many militants had fled the town instead of confronting troops in a final battle, despite the military saying earlier that escape routes had been closed.


        "They had prepared Mingora city ... with bunkers, but when they realized that they were being encircled and the noose was tightening they decided not to give a pitched battle," Abbas said.


        The military launched a major offensive one month ago in the Swat Valley and neighboring areas to oust Taliban militants who were extending their control over the northwestern region, near the border with Afghanistan.


        The campaign is strongly backed by Washington and the government's other Western allies, who see it as a test of the government's resolve to fight extremism in the Pakistan.


        Government troops had been advancing steadily into the Swat region, bombarding towns from the air and fighting house-to-house with Taliban gunmen.


        The fighting has caused more than 2 million people to flee the region, raising fears of a humanitarian crisis. More than 160,000 people are taking refuge in sweltering refugee camps south of the battle zone, while the rest are staying with relatives or relying on goodwill from local residents.


        Widespread domestic support for the campaign could sour if the government is perceived to have failed the refugees or if a high number of civilian casualties is revealed.


        The Taliban has warned it will launch terrorist strikes in Pakistani cities in retaliation for the campaign, and claimed responsibility for a gun and suicide bomb attack on Wednesday in the eastern city of Lahore that killed at least 30 people. A day later, three suicide bombings killed at least 14 people in two cities in the northwest.


        Abbas said on Saturday that 1,217 militants have been killed in the Swat offensive and 79 arrested; 81 soldiers have died. The military has not released civilian casualties and has said all care has been taken to minimize them.


        The figures could be independently verified. The tally and the extent of destruction caused by the fighting is largely unknown because media have been restricted from traveling in the region.


        Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Saturday defended the decision to launch the offensive, saying it was necessary because the Taliban had challenged the authority of the government by advancing from its stronghold of Swat to the neighboring district of Buner, just 60 (100 kilometers) from the capital, Islamabad.


        "The very existence of Pakistan was at stake, we had to start the operation," Gilani told a group of workers at state-owned Pakistan Television.


        He promised cash payments to people forced from their homes and a massive reconstruction effort.

        Hillary clinton



        New Delhi US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called External Affairs M minister SM Krishna on Friday for the first time after he assumed office. A US spokesperson said that the telephone conversation was ‘private and confidential’.

        While details of the talks are not know, sources said that Clinton is expected to visit India in July this year, her first visit to the country after taking over as the Secretary of State in the Obama administration.

        The phone conversation comes ahead of a visit by top US diplomat William Burns, the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, who will be in India next month. Burns, who is in charge of Foreign Affairs, will visit the capital in June.

        Sources said that high on his agenda will be final talks on the end user verification agreement that the two countries need to sign so that India can procure sensitive military technology from Washington.

        Symptoms



        Damage to the bone marrow, by way of displacing the normal bone marrow cells with higher numbers of immature white blood cells, results in a lack of blood platelets, which are important in the blood clotting process. This means people with leukemia may become bruised, bleed excessively, or develop pinprick bleeds (petechiae).

        White blood cells, which are involved in fighting pathogens, may be suppressed or dysfunctional. This could cause the patient's immune system (white blood cells etc.) to start attacking other body cells.

        Finally, the red blood cell deficiency leads to anemia, which may cause dyspnea. All symptoms can be attributed to other diseases; for diagnosis, blood tests and a bone marrow examination are required.

        Some other related symptoms

        • Fever, chills, night sweats and other flu-like symptoms
        • Weakness and fatigue
        • Loss of appetite and/or weight
        • Swollen or bleeding gums
        • Excess bleeding (from a minor cut)
        • Neurological symptoms (headache)
        • Enlarged liver and spleen
        • Easy bruising
        • Frequent infection
        • Bone pain
        • Joint pain
        • Swollen tonsils

        The word leukemia, which means 'white blood,' is derived from the disease's namesake high white blood cell counts that most leukemia patients have before treatment. The high number of white blood cells are apparent when a blood sample is viewed under a microscope. Frequently, these extra white blood cells are immature or dysfunctional. The excessive number of cells can also interfere with the normal function of other cells.

        Some leukemia patients do not have high white blood cell counts visible during a regular blood count. This less-common condition is called aleukemia. The bone marrow still contains cancerous white blood cells, and they are disrupting the normal production of blood cells. However, they are staying in the marrow instead of entering the bloodstream, where they would be visible in a blood test. For an aleukemic patient, the white blood cell counts in the bloodstream can be normal or low. Aleukemia can occur in any of the four major types of leukemia, and is particularly common in hairy cell leukemia.



        Causes and risk factors




        There is no single known cause

        f
        or all of the different types of leukemia. The different leukemias likely have different causes, and very little is certain about what causes them. Researchers have strong suspicions about four possible causes:

        • natural or artificial ionizing radiation
        • certain kinds of chemicals
        • some viruses
        • genetic predispositions

        Leukemia, like other cancers, result from somatic mutations in the DNA which activate oncogenes or deactivate tumor suppressor genes, and disrupt the regulation of cell death, differentiation or division. These mutations may occur spontaneously or as a result of exposure to radiation or carcinogenic substances and are likely to be influenced by genetic factors. Cohort and case-control studies have linked exposure to petrochemicals, such as benzene, and hair dyes to the development of some forms of leukemia.

        Viruses have also been linked to some forms of leukemia. For example, certain cases of ALL are associated with viral infections by either the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, responsible for AIDS) or human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1 and -2, causing adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma).

        Fanconi anemia is also a risk factor for developing acute myelogenous leukemia.

        Until the cause or causes of leukemia are found, there is no way to prevent the disease. Even when the causes become known, they may prove to be things which are not readily controllable, such as naturally occurring background radiation, and therefore not especially helpful for prevention purposes.

        Evolution of Treatment for a Rare Type of Leukemia


        Medical Author: Michael Lill, MD
        Medical Editor: Leslie J. Schoenfield, MD, PhD
        Medical Revising Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD


        Two drugs have had a profound impact upon the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.One of my more vivid memories from the early days of my training in hematology in Perth, Australia, is of the tragedy of a young girl with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). This disease is a very serious, rare type of acute leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells). I admitted her to our oncology floor in the hospital. A teenager, she had been completely well until one Sunday when she developed unusually heavy menstrual bleeding. She saw her doctor in her small country town on Monday, had a blood count done on Tuesday, and was flown up to us in Perth on Wednesday with a diagnosis of acute (rapid onset) leukemia. The next day, we performed a biopsy of the bone marrow that enabled us to confirm the diagnosis. We immediately started chemotherapy but that night she bled into her brain. Despite intensive medical efforts, including brain surgery, she died the next morning.

        What is leukemia?


         


        Leukemia is a type of cancer. Cancer is a group of many related diseases. All cancers begin in cells, which make up blood and other tissues. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place.


        Sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should. Leukemia is cancer that begins in blood cells.


        Normal blood cells


        Blood cells form in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft material in the center of most bones.


        Immature blood cells are called stem cells and blasts. Most blood cells mature in the bone marrow and then move into the blood vessels. Blood that flows through the blood vessels and heart is called the peripheral blood.


        The bone marrow makes different types of blood cells. Each type has a special function:





        White Blood Cells
        White blood cells help fight infection.


        Red Blood Cells
        Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues throughout the body.


        Platelets
        Platelets help form blood clots that control bleeding.



        Picture of Leukemia


        Leukemia cells

        In people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. The abnormal cells are leukemia cells. At first, leukemia cells function almost normally. In time, they may crowd out normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This makes it hard for blood to do its work.
