Long row to help cancer research in UAE

DUBAI // A man is rowing the equivalent of Abu Dhabi to Ras Al Khaimah and back to highlight the need for a UAE bone marrow registry.

Steven Mitchell, from the UK, is 400 kilometres into his 500km Ramadan challenge on an indoor rowing machine. His schedule involves 20, 25km sessions, which he said would take him about 40 hours.

"I'm really suffering from this now, I've got major tendinitis in my left arm and I've got pretty bad back pain," said Mr Mitchell.

Funds raised will go to Cancer Research UK, but he also hopes to raise awareness and support for a bone marrow registry in the UAE.

Mr Mitchell, 33, works in Dubai for finance company Holborn Assets and hopes more donors will come forward before the end of Ramadan.

He has lived in the UAE for five years and recently lost his father-in-law, Hassib, to cancer. He hopes a bone marrow register would lead to better care for sufferers and raise awareness of the disease.

"I've got involved with some meetings before to raise finance for a cancer centre and the person I was speaking to raised some horrific stats about cancer in the UAE," he said.

"The prevalence is relative to most other countries, but the number of diagnoses are below the rest of the world.

By having the facility for a bone marrow registry, you will screen more for the signs of cancer and bring it to the forefront of people's minds.

That will mean they can be screened for different cancers and more people will have a better chance of survival."

Donations can be made at www.justgiving.com/Row4Ramadan.

University Of California Approves Major Open Access Policy To Make Research Free

images (44)Good news for fans of the scientific method: the largest and most influential university system on the planet will be giving out its research for free. After 6-year-long fight with the for-profit academic publishing industry, the University of California Senate approved open access standards for research on all 10 campuses. The policy is major win for those who want to see academic research made public, rather than behind the pricy paywalls of big publishers. Last year, Harvard Library penned a memo urging the university’s 2,100 faculty to boycott for-profit academic research databases and instead submit articles to lower-cost open access journals. Universities pay millions for access to their colleague’s research, with subscriptions costs up to $40,000 for a single journal. Publishing, too, can cost many times more for more prestigious closed-access journals. Nature reports that it can cost $5,000 to publish in the biology journal, Cell Reports, but only $1,350 for the most popular open-access journal PLoS ONE. ?It’s still ludicrous how much it costs to publish research,” said molecular biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, Michael Eisen. The open access movement has friends in high-places. Recently, in response to a WeThePeople petition, the White House pledged a whopping $100 million to promote open access and to require all federally-funded research to be free of charge. There are issues with open access; it costs money to curate high-quality peer-review and market the research. Many academic papers take years to write, and its a risky proposition to leave it in the hands of an experimental publisher. But, speaking as a writer who likes to include academic research in my articles, open access could not come soon enough. Media outlets get inundated with research findings, but often can’t get access to the articles to report on them critically. Open access may not be perfect, but it is the future. The more people use it, the better the journals will become. And, ultimately, there will be little need for closed access at all.

Chinese and Korean investors are snapping up commercial real estate in major European countries, helping drive investment in the region in the first half of the year, according to property services firm Jones Lang LaSalle.

Northwestern to pay nearly $3 million to settle cancer research fraud suit

Updated: July 31, 2013 2:20AM

Northwestern University has agreed to pay the federal government nearly $3 million to settle a claim of cancer research fraud against a former doctor at its Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center.

Dr. Charles L. Bennett allegedly took his wife on personal trips, then illegally billed the flights, hotels and meals to the National Institutes of Health, claiming it was part of his cancer-fighting work. And he allegedly submitted phony bills for his work over a seven-year period beginning in 2003.

A whistleblower suit filed under seal in 2009 by former Lurie Cancer Center worker Melissa Theis first alleged the wrongdoing by Bennett. Federal investigators from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, the FBI, the NIH and the U.S. Attorney?s office then probed Theis? allegations.

According to Theis? complaint, her bosses at the highly ranked hospital ?refused to seriously address the issues? when she raised concerns about Bennett in 2008, and Theis left the university soon after.

Under a settlement deal unsealed Tuesday, Northwestern will pay the government $2.93 million, of which Theis will get $498,000.

Northwestern did not admit liability as part of the settlement, but university spokeswoman Marla Paul issued a statement Tuesday saying Northwestern was ?disappointed to see the allegations in the complaint.?

Theis? attorney Linda Wyetzner said it had ?not been easy? for Theis to ?put herself out there as a whistleblower? but that she was happy with the outcome.

Acting U.S. Attorney Gary Shapiro noted that using ?federal grant money to pay for personal travel, hotels and meals, and to hire unqualified friends and relatives as ?consultants? violates the public trust? and warned that anyone who receives federal grants faces punishment if they ?allow the system to be manipulated.?

Patient taking Novartis MS pill developed rare disease

ZURICH (Reuters) - A patient taking Novartis' multiple sclerosis pill Gilenya developed a rare and potentially fatal viral disease, the Swiss drugmaker said on Tuesday, an unexpected setback as it faces growing competition from new oral treatments.

Gilenya is one of Novartis' big new drug hopes, growing 66 percent in the second quarter to $468 million. But the drug faces competition from new medicines such as Biogen Idec's Tecfidera.

Novartis said it had been informed of a case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in a patient who had been taking Gilenya for MS for seven months.

It said it was working with the reporting physician to understand all possible contributing factors, including those beyond treatment, given several atypical features of the case.

"The course of the underlying neurological disease was rapid with some atypical findings for MS on the MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord, as well as some unusual clinical features," Novartis said in a statement.

Novartis said all previously reported cases of PML among the approximately 71,000 patients treated with Gilenya thus far had been attributed to prior treatment with Biogen Idec's Tysabri, which bears a known risk of PML.

Deutsche bank analyst Tim Race said the case may provoke some concerns about Gilenya's future growth potential. But he noted the incidence of reported PML cases for Gilenya has so far been extremely low.

"By the time there was a similar level of patient experience with Tysabri there had been 298 cases reported. Thus, even if the risk proves to be real it is likely to be of a very different order of magnitude," Race said in a note.

Shares in Novartis were trading down 0.8 percent at 66.10 Swiss francs by 0904 GMT (5.04 a.m. ET), compared to a 0.4 percent weaker European healthcare sector.

99% 20 Feet From Stardom

All Critics (69) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (67) | Rotten (1)

The movie takes its cues from Standing in the Shadows of Motown, another act of pop-culture revisionism that tried to give musical credit where it was due.

Just about everything in this movie is right. And anybody who gives a rip about unsung heroines of popular music and giving credit when credit's overdue had better come up with a good excuse not to see it.

You may never hear the Rolling Stones's Gimme Shelter the same way again after hearing Jagger's and Clayton's separate accounts of the recording of the song.

The enthusiasm and love of music on display is just unavoidable. "20 Feet" may not get the whole story, but it gets some good ones.

Music documentarian Morgan Neville uses a mix of live interviews and archival footage to let the singers, and their music, tell their stories of vocal triumph and thwarted ambition.

You know all those doo-doo-doos and whoa-whoas-whoas you hear in pop hits? Without them, supplied by the likes of Darlene Love and Merry Clayton, you likely wouldn't be singing along to the songs you hear on your car radio.

Although a few white and male backup singers appear, the film becomes a de facto chronicle of the experiences of many African-American women in show business, who -- like their counterparts in less high-profile jobs -- often are undervalued and exploited.

In a way, critics are the backup singers of film.

20 Feet From Stardom will be highly entertaining to anyone who ever let a needle drop into a '70s-era groove.

Neville does a good job of highlighting songs that are especially characterized by backup singers, like Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side,' and introducing us to some of the 'unsung' talent that made those hits possible.

This fantastic glimpse into the lives of background singers, old and new, directed by Morgan Neville, is completely mesmerizing.

It is a total pleasure, a rare treat, to listen and watch old footage of these indispensable performers belt out their melodies and harmonies. They are truly pioneers that helped shape the world of music for generations to come.

This is a fascinating doc for pop, soul, R&B and rock fans, for it peels back the often unfair layers of the music business like the skins on an onion. Sometimes, it'll make you cry to witness how terribly these talents were treated.

It's important to finally put names and faces to the voices of these women because, without them, countless songs would sound horrible.

Neville's greatest strength is as a historian, able to sort through a wealth of details to find the pieces he needs to tell one clear, compelling story.

Salutes songs that wouldn't work without the back-ups and, in effect, turn us all into back-up singers.

Not the deepest documentary you're likely to come across this year -- in fact, it's not deep at all -- but it may well be the most enjoyable one.

The transcendent joy and agonizing heartbreak of making music - and trying to make it in music - have seldom been captured as vividly as in "20 Feet from Stardom."

If music has the power to connect, "Twenty Feet From Stardom" shows it's those backup voices making the connection.

Lovers of classic R&B and rock will never get tired of revisiting this movie and its bonanza of performance footage.

Aljamaaheer set to take on Caspar Netscher at Goodwood ? Horseracing news

Aljamaaheer is set to take on Caspar Netscher in the Group 2 bet365 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in England.

The latter of the two has been out of action for quite some time and it will be interesting to see how he goes in such a tough race on his comeback. Things will certainly not be easy for him, especially if the ground is challenging.

His camp seems pretty much confident though and his trainer David Simcock said, ?Caspar Netscher is set to run at Goodwood. He has settled in well and I couldn't be happier with him. He has proven very straightforward but we haven't rushed him. He was a horse who was let down to become a stallion and the likelihood is that he will improve for the run.?

The four-year-old colt has appeared in a total of 16 races and his performances in them have not been bad at all. Although his strike rate is a touch lower, he is considered to be a terrific performer and can cause plenty of problems for his rivals, especially when the conditions are in his favour.

Overall, he has managed to win five races, which is not a bad record at all. Moreover, he has finished as a runner up on a couple of times whereas secured the third spot on the same number of occasions.

On the other hand, Aljamaaheer has been doing a pretty good job this year. He is fit and has taken part in a couple of extremely important competitions for his camp. He ran twice at Ascot this season and made his camp proud on both occasions. He finished as a runner up once, but came back to take the top spot again.

Looking at the records of both stallions, it seems that the competition amongst them will be a close one, but the ground conditions will play a crucial role.

Clerk of the course Seamus Buckley claimed, ?We have been dry since 11am yesterday and I am very happy with the condition of the course. Glorious Goodwood is a long week and it is the aim to start the meeting on goodish ground.?

All of the horseracing fans at Goodwood will be looking forward to an exciting competition between some high ranked stallions.

Start Your Engine? at the Touch of a Button : NYE Auto

Posted by NYE Automotive Group on Thursday, July 25, 2013 ? Leave a Comment?

Ever marveled at the old electric start button on your snow blower and wished you could have the same thing on your vehicle? It would be simplicity itself to start it ? and you could forever avoid that dreaded grinding noise when you accidentally turn the key when the engine is already started? (come on, we?ve all done that once or twice ?)

The Nye Automotive Group is pleased to be able to offer the most cutting edge technology of the latest cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans, and now the Ford Motor Company has eliminated the fumbling for keys with the push-button convenience of available Intelligent Access on several of their latest models. The feature needs only the presence of the key fob in a pocket or purse, or anywhere else on your person, to open the doors and get the engine to start.

Even before you get in, simply by clutching the door handle you activate the communication between the key fob and the vehicle?s computer. There is a silent signal sent between the two computerized mechanisms, and once the proper coding is recognized the door unlocks automatically ? with the vehicle?s key still snugly put away.

It?s not magic, but cutting edge modern technology Henry Ford never dreamed of in his wildest invention inspirations. It doesn?t end there ?you climb inside and activate the engine security mechanism by pressing the brake pedal. Then as you push the start button on the dashboard, the onboard computer communicates with that key fob ? still secure in the safety of your pocket or wherever ? to send a signal to the engine that it is okay to fire up. That prevents unauthorized persons from attempting to activate the vehicle by pushing the button, because the safety feature prohibits the startup without a proper fob within range.

Intelligent Access is available on the 2013 C-Max, Focus, and Edge, and the 2014 Explorer, Escape, Flex, Taurus, and Fiesta. Come to NYE today to experience this modern wonder of automotive technology for yourself.

The NYE Automotive Group is located at 1479 Genesee St. in Oneida, N.Y. For more info on any of our vehicles and services, call (315) 363-0600 or email sales@nyeauto.com.

Iraq to import natural gas from Iran

BAGHDAD (AP) -- An Iraqi government spokesman says Baghdad has signed a deal with Iran to import natural gas for power generation, further intertwining the economies of the two Shiite-dominated countries.

Electricity Ministry spokesman Musab al-Mudaris said Tuesday that the four-year deal stipulates that Iraq buy 850 million cubic feet a day of gas at international market prices.

Al-Mudaris added that the gas will be shipped through a pipeline which will be completed in the coming two months. He said the gas will feed a power plant in Diyala province east of Baghdad and two others in the capital to generate 2,500 MW. The deal was signed in Baghdad on Sunday.

Iraq has spent billions of dollars to rebuild its dilapidated electrical grid since the 1990s, but Iraqis still suffer chronic power outages.

2013 Fiat 500E Is Northwest Automotive Press Association's First ...

Congregating in the United States? largest concentration of charging stations per capita, the Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) said its members voted the all-new 2013 Fiat 500e their ?Top Electric Vehicle? at the first-annual ?Drive Revolution? green-car event in Portland.

Considering the area?s reputation for being a green-vehicle hub, NWAPA said its members tested 17 of the market?s most technologically advanced and fuel efficient models around Portland ? including electric cars, plug-in hybrids, and clean-diesel models from both import and domestic manufacturers.

?The Fiat 500e is an electric car with sex appeal,? said Bengt Halvorson, Drive Revolution Event Co-chair. ?Unlike other electric vehicles, we think the Fiat 500e will lure in a type of buyer that otherwise might not even have considered a plug-in model.?

While the Fiat 500e is currently available in California only, NWAPA members see great appeal for this zero-emission, battery-electric Cinquecento (500) for American big-city commuters everywhere.

?We wanted a Fiat 500 that happens to be fully electric,? said Jason Stoicevich, Head of Fiat Brand-North America. ?NWAPA?s Drive Revolution accolade reinforces that our Italian style and engaging dynamics, combined with a fully electric powertrain, have created a zero-emissions Cinquecento that appeals beyond just green car shoppers.?

Rugby Union: Veteran eyes Wales return

Matthew Rees says he is confident of winning back his place in the Wales side following his recent disappointments.

Veteran eyes Wales return

The hooker missed the majority of the Six Nations after being dropped due to a poor display in his country's opening defeat to Ireland and after falling down the pecking order behind Richard Hibbard and Ken Owens, he was ultimately overlooked for the chance to go on a second British & Irish Lions Tour.
Just to add insult to injury, Rees was then excluded from the squad for Wales' summer trip to Japan, leading to suggestions that his international career could be about to end.
However, after moving from the Llanelli Scarlets to the Cardiff Blues, he says he is feeling refreshed and is now focused on regaining his place in Warren Gatland's squad for the Autumn Internationals.
"For me personally, it's a case of getting back to where I was a couple of seasons ago in terms of playing," he told Wales Online. "I've got an opportunity with the Blues and I just can't wait to get the jersey on and start playing.
"It's only myself who is going to get me back in that Welsh squad. That's the challenge I am faced with."

Wyoming GOP primary race for Senate pits neocons vs. libertarians

The Republican primary for the U.S. Senate race in Wyoming could erupt into a proxy war in the battle between the libertarian and conservative wings of the party over national security, with Sen. Rand Paul supporting Sen. Michael B. Enzi in his re-election bid against the eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Liz Cheney is a political novice but served in the State Department under President George W. Bush. She is a steadfast supporter of her father, who has been a lightning rod for debates over military adventurism and civil liberties since the onset of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Republicans skeptical of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars say the costs and resulting federal budget deficits helped fuel the tea party movement that powered Mr. Paul to victory in the 2010 U.S. Senate race in Kentucky. Indeed, Mr. Paul had to overcome opposition from Mr. Cheney, who called primary opponent Trey Grayson the ?real conservative? in the race.

?If that is the case that Rand Paul is supporting Enzi, it seems to me to be a proxy war between the neocons and the realist-slash-libertarians when it comes to foreign policy,? said Niger Innis, head of TheTeaParty.net.

?There is no question that neoconservative foreign policy ? understandably after 9/11 ? had a tremendous amount of influence over Republican foreign policy, but the pendulum has swung hard toward a more libertarian point of view, toward more realist foreign policy,? he said.

Ms. Cheney announced her candidacy in an online video last week, saying the GOP needs a new generation of leaders. She said Republicans must stop ?destructive? policies of the Obama administration that she thinks have diminished the U.S. on the world stage.

?We can elect leaders who are worthy of commanding our men and women in uniform,? Ms. Cheney said. ?This is our state and our country, and we don?t have to accept what Washington, D.C., has been doing to us.?

Mr. Paul quickly endorsed Mr. Enzi.

?I think that there is a faction of our party that I think is too aggressive in their approach to feeling like we have to be involved in every war around the world. I think that war is a terrible thing and should be approached reluctantly,? Mr. Paul said. ?It?s not that we don?t go to war and shouldn?t defend our country, but I think we should be reluctant. I think there?s some people within the party who may show an overeagerness or a rashness to war, and I think Sen. Enzi has showed a much more reasoned approach.?

Matt Welch, editor-in-chief of Reason magazine and co-author of ?The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What?s Wrong With America,? said this is the first Obama-era Republican primary challenge he can recall that was launched by someone from the party establishment.

In 2010 and 2012, the tea party challenged and went on to defeat a number of veteran Republican lawmakers who were dubbed ?RINOs? ? Republican in name only ? and accused of selling out the limited-government philosophy that the grass-roots movement espoused.

Mr. Enzi has scored well with conservative groups.

In 2012, the National Journal ranked his voting record as the eighth most conservative in the Senate, and he also received high marks from the American Conservative Union ? put right alongside the likes of former Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.

Heritage Action, the political arm of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, placed Mr. Enzi in the middle of the pack. Mr. Enzi was knocked in part for supporting a bill this year that gave states more power to collect billions of dollars in sales taxes on out-of-state Internet and catalog sales.

Mr. Welch said he finds it hard to believe that Ms. Cheney drew a line in the sand on the Internet sales tax.

One thing that?s awesome about Drive Assist by Wo.Doo is the fact that you can adjust all kinds of parameters and settings to make this app your own. You can adjust the color scheme, as well as toggle between metric and imperial distance measures. There are options for setting a touch autolock, speed alerts, and even a place to enter your odometer readout.

The real high point here is the overall look of Drive Assist. It?s rare to see an app that?s this polished, elegant, and downright sexy. The interface is easy to navigate, and the app is just so graphically superior to any other app in its class.

I?d be hard-pressed to name another navigation app that looks and works as well as this one does. Moreover, Drive Assist really distinguishes itself with an easy-to-read compass, straightforward weather icons, and constant trip timers. The only downside? Being able to see how much of your total travel time was spent moving versus spent sitting in traffic might make you grouchy about rush hour traffic delays.

There isn?t a person in my social circle who doesn?t use their iPhone or iPad behind the wheel. Whether it?s to control music, plan a route, or track driving habits, we all love to use our iDevices within the confines of our car cockpits. This well-rounded app is a stunner for drivers of all ages. For those about to drive, we salute you.

Review Overview

A beautifully designed app that makes your driving experience more lush and enjoyable than ever before.

ifttt (for iPhone)


When ifttt (free) first arrived on the Internet in late 2010 in beta, it quickly became one of my favorite websites. The strange name, pronounced like "ift," stands for "if this, then that," the opening of a logic statement or command. It's where you start when using ifttt to create "recipes" of automation in your digital life, no programming required. The site now has an ifttt iPhone app (also totally free), which largely mirrors the full website, and gives you access to the commands you've created and a history list of actions ifttt has taken on your behalf. It's one of the most valuable services on the Internet today, and a superb app for your iPhoneto boot.

ifttt Examples
It's easiest to understand what ifttt does by looking at a few examples of recipes you can create: "If there is an upcoming event on my Google Calendar, then send me a text message reminder with the event name, time, and address." "If someone tags a photo of me on Facebook, then save a copy of that photo to Dropbox."

To use the ifttt iPhone app and website, you first must sign up for an ifttt account, and then activate "channels" or other services that you want ifttt to leverage. For example, you might authenticate access to Facebook, Twitter, Box, Evernote, Foursquare, Google Drive, Instagram, LinkedIn, and many more. You can also add?your phone number if you want to create recipes that use text messages or phone calls. The list of supported channels is comprehensive. You can turn channels on and off at your will from both the website and the iPhone app, which means you're in control.

When you enable a phone number in ifttt for either text messaging or phone calls, you have to enter a code sent to that number, which helps ensure no one uses ifttt for nefarious purposes.

No Coding
The most amazing thing about ifttt is how simple it is to use. You might assume that the recipes would require some programming know-how, but they don't. Not at all. The iPhone app walks you through possible services and actions in one of the most simplified manners I've ever seen. It uses icons and large text to make the recipes completely easy to create.

While you can create your own commands from scratch using what boils down to a "choose from the listed options" kind of interface (see the slideshow for a more complete picture), ifttt also lets you browse recipes that other users have created and made public. A section for browsing public recipes lets you see ones that are featured, trending, or most popular of all time. You can also search for recipes, which I think is useful if, say, you know you want to do something with your Facebook status updates, but you're not sure what exactly. You can search for "Facebook status" and see what kinds of recipes other users have made.

Whenever I look through ifttt's suggested recipes, I always find automations that would make my digital life so much easier and richer, but that I never would have thought to create on my own. It's a marvelous place to explore.

Ifttt gives the user control over the recipes once they're created as well, so you can turn them on or off any time without deleting the recipe from your file. An activity log shows you not only the recipes you've created and when you toggled them on and off, but also other factors that might affect ifttt's ability to perform the function, such as failed API calls.

Get Organized

A Stroke of Genius
The iPhone app ifttt is a stroke of genius, and thus a PCMag Editors' Choice. It's also one of my favorite apps for making my life simpler and better organized. Ifttt is an app I will be recommending to friends, family, and colleagues for a long time to come.
