The Cairo Thousands of Egyptians gathered in Cairo's

The Cairo Thousands of Egyptians gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square Tuesday night to protest what they call a coup by Egypt's military rulers and show their support for the Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate.
Conflicting reports about the health of ousted President Hosni Mubarak overshadowed the protest, as one news agency reported he was clinically dead, which the military quickly denied.
"He is not clinically dead as reported, but his health is deteriorating and he is in critical condition," Gen. Mamdouh Shahin, a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, told CNN.
Conflicting reports about whether Mubarak has died
"They're playing with us," one Tahrir Square demonstrator said. "All of the sudden, all of this? If he's really dead, it's God's will. I would hope he lives to see the new president."

Tuesday's forecast by the National Weather Service is similar to Monday's blazing heat and winds that whipped up the blaze.

The Japan's exports surge 10%

The Japan's exports have risen the most in 17 months easing concerns about the impact of a global slowdown on the Japanese economy.
Exports rose 10% in May from a year earlier, boosted by a 38% jump in deliveries to the US.
Shipments to China, Japan's biggest trading partner, also rose for the first time in eight months.
Japan's export-dependent economy relies heavily on demand from markets such as the US, Europe and China for growth.
Meanwhile, imports also rose by a better-than-expected 9% during the month, which analysts said was a sign that domestic demand may also be picking up.

North Carolina zoo elephant may get contacts

The Officials at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro and the North Carolina State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine are considering giving an elephant at the zoo contact lenses after he had a second cataract surgery in six months earlier in June.
The 38-year-old African bull elephant, C’sar, weighs 12,000 pounds and has been at the zoo since 1978.
Now officials are considering whether contact lenses would help C’sar’s vision even more.
Zookeepers say C’sar had become lethargic because he couldn’t see well and officials had worried they might have to euthanize him. But he improved greatly after the first cataract surgery, encouraging the veterinarians to consider further procedures.

15 things your walk reveals about

The Walk into an exam room and a trained eye can tell a lot about you in seconds: Your stride, gait, pace, and posture while walking can reveal surprising information about your overall health and well-being.
"Many physicians are keenly aware, when they see someone walking down the street, what their diagnosis might be, whether their underlying health is good or bad, and if not good, a number of tip-offs to what might be wrong," says Charles Blitzer, an orthopedic surgeon in Somersworth, New Hampshire, and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
Find out what the following 15 walking styles may signal about your health.
The 10 Best Cities for Walking Walking speed is a reliable marker for longevity, according to a University of Pittsburgh analysis of nine large studies, reported in a January 2011 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. The 36,000 subjects were all over age 65. In fact, predicting survival based on walking speed proved to be as accurate as using age, sex, chronic conditions, smoking, body mass index, hospitalizations, and other common markers. It's especially accurate for those over age 75.

Alcohol abuse increases after weight loss surgery

A new study has found the adults
who undergo a common type of barbaric surgery to lose weight appear to have a significantly higher risk of abusing alcohol two years after the procedure, according to researchers the University of Pittsburgh.
The study investigated alcohol consumption and abuse in nearly 2,000 patients across the United States.  Researchers surveyed barbaric patients on their alcohol consumption 30 days before surgery, then again one and two years after surgery.
Nearly 70 percent of the participants had gastric bypass surgery – which reduces the side of the stomach and shortens the intestine – and were most at risk for alcohol disorders.  Another 25 percent had arthroscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery, which uses a band to make the stomach smaller, and the remaining 5 percent had other, less-common surgeries.

The need to know about fibromyalgia

The Fibroblast FMis a mysterious disorder, the underlying causes of which are not very clearly understood. Unfortunately, it is quite common, especially among women aged 20 to 50. Individuals affected by the disease experience long-term, widespread pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles, tendons and other soft tissues.
The condition has been extensively studied by experts across the globe for decades - many theories have been formulated, only to be refuted years later. Diagnosis is a result of exclusion, rather than defining physiological characteristics.
Several hypotheses exist that link fibroblast to three underlying conditions:
The  Oxidation stress is the stress placed on the body from exposure to radiation and other substances that cause the formation of free radicals. Oxidation stress may be reduced by increasing your antioxidant status. Free radical scavengers may be squelched with adequate intake and supplementation of vitamins A, D and E, as well agglutination and co-enzyme Q10. In fact, a 2011 study showed significant improvement of fibroblast symptoms with increased levels of vitamin D – in excess of 50ng/ml.

Fifa's chief medical officer has said the "abuse" of painkillers is putting the careers and long-term health of international footballers in jeopardy.
Dr Jiri Dvorak found that almost 40% of players at the 2010 World Cup were taking pain medication prior to every game.
Ahead of Euro 2012, Dr Dvorak has urged football to wake up to the problem.
He told the BBC that younger players are imitating the seniors and taking painkillers far too frequently.
Fifa's medical team asked team doctors to provide a list of medications that players were taking ahead of each game in the 2010 World Cup.
Previous surveys at international tournaments established that many players were using large numbers of pain killing and non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (nsaids).

The woman working out is too much good think

The Constantly thinking about the next workout Upset about missing a exercise class Fitness experts say more is not always better and overworking a workout can sap strength and invite injury.
We have fit people and conditioned people who overdo it," said General Cooperstown, national director of the Equinox Fitness Training Institute.
The Exercise is like a drug, if you don't have enough, you get no benefits, if you have too much, you have problems," she said.
Shin splints, heel spurs, tendonitis are among the common overuse injuries that Cooper-smith, who oversees the training of personal trainers for Equinox fitness centers, sees.
"Some days should be intense, some days not so intense," she said.

A better way to heal surgical wounds

What starts out as a small problem after surgery can sometimes lead to an infection that can get out of control and, in many cases, prove to be deadly.
In the U.S., infections cost about 25 million dollars every year. Dr. Manny Alvarez, senior managing health editor of Fox News.com, recently sat down with Dr. John Latins, vascular surgeon and head of the wound center at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital in New York City to talk about a new technology that is keeping patients safer after surgery.
PICO is new type of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NP WT) that is different from traditional systems because it is pocket-sized and single use.
Previous NP WT systems used a large, bulky canister to collect the fluids that drain from surgical wounds. But the PICO system uses a palm-sized pump and a high-tech dressing that helps to manage fluids more easily.

The Pakistani doctor sentenced to 33 years in prison

The Pakistani doctor sentenced to 33 years in prison for his role in the CIA mission to hunt down Asama bin Laden was formally accused not of aiding U.S. intelligence, but assisting a militant Islamic group, according to a judgment provided to Fox News.
The document, which began to circulate to international media overnight, claims Dr. Shakily Afraid was working with the "defunct" militant group Ashlar-e-Islam. It alleged he provided "financial assistance" to the group as well as "medical assistance" to its "militant commanders" while working at a hospital.
The document, though, appears to raise more questions than it answers. U.S. officials consistently have given no indication that Afraid was jailed for anything other than his work with the CIA. Pakistani officials likewise did little to knock that narrative down ever since Afraid was taken into custody last year, and released the document detailing Africa's alleged militant ties only after U.S. lawmakers threatened retaliation.

The Mitt Romney can finally drop the word

Add caption
  Thanks to Texas Mitt Romney can finally drop the word presumptive from his title.
More than five years after launching his first campaign for the presidency, the former Massachusetts governor on Tuesday night clinched the Republican nomination by winning the largely uncontested Texas primary, the Associated Press projected.
The achievement completes what for Romney has been an arduous process of winning over skeptical conservatives and projecting himself as the party’s most competitive choice for taking on President Obama in the fall.
The former Massachusetts governor surpassed the 144-threshold to become the nominee by winning at least 88 delegates in Texas, according to the Associated Press tally. The victory is a formality, as most of his Republican opponents had long since peeled away from the race – and then gradually crossed over to endorse Romney.

You are waiting for a bus, but someone has left a newspaper

You are waiting for a bus, but someone has left a newspaper and empty plastic bottles on the bench in the bus shelter. Posted above the bench is a sign showing a person putting litter in the bin. Do you comply with that request and dispose of the items?
About one in three of you will, according to a paper just published by Damien Francey and Ralph Bergmuller, two Swiss “econ-ethologists” at the University of Neuchatel who study human behaviour. At least, one in three Swiss citizens will  decide for yourself if your own community is likely to mimic the good burgers of Geneva, where the experiments were conducted.
But here’s the thing: the public-spirited one in three will, on average, expend more time and effort in clearing the bench if the no-litter sign has an image of eyes on it, than if it has an image of flowers. In other words, the image of eyes seems sufficient to convey a sense that the people are being watched, making them more conscientious about their duties.

Examples of engineering social behaviour through seemingly trivial interventions are well known – perhaps the most famous being how a black fly etched into the urinals at Schiphol Airport in Holland had the effect of, shall we say, improving the accuracy of men’s aim by 80%.

The Donated lung from smoker better than nothing

The Patients who need new lungs are better off getting donated organs from smokers than none at all, even though they probably won’t live as long as those who get a lung transplant from a nonsmoker, a new study says.
Researchers say patients will survive longer if they are willing to accept lungs from anyone, including smokers. In Britain, that’s a key issue, for about 40 percent of donated lungs come from people who have previously smoked.
Yet in recent years, several cases of British patients dying after getting lungs from smokers have sparked calls for the policy to be overhauled.
Doctors behind the new study said changing the U.K. transplant system would be wrong and lead to a spike in the number of people dying while waiting for donated lungs.

The rate of adults having strokes hasn’t changed

The rate of adults having strokes hasn’t changed much in recent years, and there are still disparities in stroke rates across the U.S., according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In 2010, 2.6 percent of adults in the U.S. said they had suffered a stroke, down slightly from 2.7 percent in 2006, the report said. Strokes are the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S., and they are also a leading cause of long-term severe disability.

And thee    res who believe that Grahame, who died on Sunday from cancer, was not responsible for bringing down the jet over Scotland in 1988, including some of the victims' families.

Why does the tragedy continue to raise questions? CNN examines the issues.

Why was al Grahame convicted?

After a nine-month trial that concluded in January 2001, a Scottish court based in a former U.S. base at Camp Zest in the Netherlands, convicted al Grahame of the murders and he was sentenced to life in prison with the condition that he serve at least 27 years before being eligible for parole. Scotland does not have the death penalty.

The trial followed years of negotiation with Libya, after British and American investigators indicted two men for the crime in 1991.

The International Development Committee has expressed concern that extra funding - pledged by ministers over a year ago - has not yet materialized.

The Fund has faced allegations of fraud, a shortfall from donors and a change of leadership.

Ministers say they will increase donations once they are convinced by the Fund's reform programme.

The MP's' report describes how the Global Fund has approved grants worth £14.1bn in 150 countries since it began work a decade ago

The technology truthfully very tired

The new mom Linda Fanechka for dealing with hyperthyroidism, or excessive sweating, was a daily struggle.

I was truthfully very tired of caking on deodorant, getting it all over my clothes, being conscious of that whenever I would leave the house,” Fanechka said. “I had a little travel size deodorant in my bag, just so I can keep things in check throughout the day, and you know, that is a lot of energy to put into my underarms."

Fanechka turned to her dermatologist, New York City-based Dr. Cameron Rosary, who introduced her to Mira Dry, the latest technology to stop hyperthyroidism.

The FDA-approved procedure is non-invasive and targets sweat glands with controlled electromagnetic energy to eliminate them permanently.
