March 2, 2010
Krill Oil Dangers,The Side Effects Of Krill Oil:Krill oil, an extract squeezed from tiny ocean-bound invertebrates and sold as a nutritional supplement, may help your body with antioxidants that keep cells healthy, preventing chronic disease and possibly guard against aging diseases such as dementia.
Krill oil may also may help reduce painful inflammation and help with arthritis pain and lower cholesterol, according to some health authorities who acknowledge, however, more testing needs to be done. What ever your ailment, it is best to consult a doctor before you take the stuff that is typically found for sale at health food stores or even online.
Krill oil doesn’t mix well with blood thinners, such as aspirin, and other similar pain killers. Moreover, krill oil shouldn’t be used by anyone who is allergic to seafood or who has a bleeding disorder. Krill oil may also result in diarrhea. So tread carefully if you’re considering krill oil. The information here is by no means thorough and scientific studies on the subject of krill oil are spotty.
Alexander Haig’s Death
February 20, 2010
Alexander Haig’s Death:Mr Haig had been admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on 28 January with complications associated with an infection, his family said.
He was chief-of-staff to President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s.
Mr Haig was perhaps best known for his bungled response when President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, erroneously telling reporters he was “in control”.
Mr Haig maintained he was simply trying to keep the country calm, but he was widely derided for apparently trying to overstep his authority.
Cold War warrior :
A spokesman for Johns Hopkins Hospital, Gary Stephenson, said that Mr Haig had passed away at about 0130 (0530 GMT) on Saturday.
In a statement, President Barack Obama described him as a “great American who served our country with distinction”.
“General Haig exemplified our finest warrior-diplomat tradition of those who dedicate their lives to public service,” he added.
A decorated hero in both the Korean and Vietnam wars, he rose to the rank of general before continuing the fight via the conservative politics of the Republican Party of the 1970s and 80s, our correspondent says.
In 1973, he was asked to take over as President Nixon’s chief of staff at a time when the administration was in serious trouble.
Mr Haig was widely credited with saving the presidency from complete collapse over Watergate, and persuading Nixon to resign.
He then stayed on as chief of staff to Gerald Ford, Nixon’s successor.
After a brief return to the military as Nato’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Mr Haig was back in Washington in 1981 as President Reagan’s hawkish secretary of state.
During that time, he courted controversy by suggesting the possible use of nuclear weapons as a warning to the Soviets.
“There are contingency plans in the Nato doctrine to fire a nuclear weapon for demonstrative purposes, to demonstrate to the other side that they are exceeding the limits of toleration in the conventional area,” he said.
He also led failed US diplomatic efforts to negotiate between the UK and Argentina before the Falklands War, in the so-called “peace-shuttle” talks.
In 1988, he ran for the Republican presidential nomination but was beaten by the more moderate Vice-President George H W Bush, a loss which marked the end of his political career.
“I think of him as a patriot’s patriot,” said George Shultz, who succeeded Mr Haig as secretary of state. “No matter how you sliced him it came out red, white and blue. He was always willing to serve.”
Aussies Stage Miracle Win Over Pakistan
January 7, 2010
Aussies Stage Miracle Win Over Pakistan:IT was a record-breaking day for Australian cricket and the home team’s dressing room contained plenty of heroes, including century-maker Mike Hussey and match-winning spinner Nathan Hauritz.
But for captain Ricky Ponting, the moment of triumph came when he fronted the post-match press conference to explain how his team had beaten Pakistan in the second Test by 36 runs late on day four, despite getting bowled out for 127 on day one.
Ponting has been smashed in the media for batting first on a green-top pitch, but after setting Pakistan a target of 176 to win on Wednesday, the tourists collapsed to be all out for 139.
Suddenly Ponting skipper was a genius again, his reputation enhanced.
Ponting said the feeling even topped Australia’s stirring victories in the Sydney Tests against India in 2008 and South Africa in 2009.
Wednesday’s victory was only the third time Australia had won a Test after being more than 200 or more runs behind on the first innings.
“This is the most satisfying one because I do not think anyone in the world apart from all the blokes inside our dressing room thought we could win,” Ponting said.
“South Africa and India last year the year before that, we were in the box seat to win those games.
“All of us in our change room felt if we could get 150 or just over that we were going to be right in The Game.”
Australia’s Fairytale win to claim an Unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series came after being in a desperate position at the start of day four.
Australia resumed on Tuesday on 8-286, a lead of only 80.
Hussey hit a fighting 134, his 11th Test century, in Australia’s 381.
The West Australian shared a ninth-wicket partnership of 123 with tailender Peter Siddle (38).
The partnership beat the 83-run stand between Bob Massie and John Watkins for Australia’s ninth wicket against Pakistan in Sydney 37 years ago.
Hauritz and did as a spinner should at the SCG, bowling his team to victory with 5-53, his second five-wicket haul in successive Tests against Pakistan.
“It has been a pretty tough few days for not only me, the team. We felt that we underperformed a little bit on the first day,” Ponting said.
“What we have read over the last couple of days and what we have seen on the news has probably just steeled us all a little bit, just made us want to fight The Game out as much as we can and prove that we are never out of the contest.
“It comes down to results and we’ve got a great result here so I look like a genius where I did a couple of days ago.”
Ponting looked to his tormentors in the press: “Can everyone (who said Australia should have bowled first) put their hands up please? I feel better now.”
Hauritz and Mitchell Johnson (3-27) both took two wickets in three deliveries to set the ball rolling for Australia.
Teenager Umar Akmal topscored with 49 but it was Hauritz’s Dismissal of Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf caught and bowled for 19 at 4-77 that turned the match, as both Skippers later agreed.
Hauritz clutched the bullet-like chance to his chest, injuring his thumb and dropping to the pitch in Agony. But he continued on and Struck again two balls later.
Wicketkeeper Brad Haddin took nine Catches in the match, two behind Englishman Jack Russell’s world record.
Haddin’s efforts included a brilliant leg-side dive to remove opener Salman Butt (21).
Yousuf said he blamed himself for the defeat. “My shot was very pathetic and turned The Game.”
The third Test starts in Hobart on January 14.
