PDM Writes Jonathan, Expresses Concerns over Nation's Malais

<html>As President Goodluck Jonathan meets President Barack Obama of the United States of America as part of his itinerary at the United Nations General Assembly summit, the newly-registered Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) has asked the Nigerian leader to reflect on the growing insecurity,cheap jerseys free shipping, poverty and declining prospects of a transparent election in his discussion with the American leader

The open letter reminded the Nigerian leader to inform Obama that under his leadership that oil theft in Nigeria had risen to over 150,000 bpd or a loss of over $6 billion worth of revenue through oil theft.

In an open letter signed by the National Chairman of PDM, Basher Ibrahim to Jonathan,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, the PDM leader said: As you and Obama meet in New York, I am certain your host will expect to hear reassuring words from you about the sanctity of the ballot in the forthcoming elections and a pledge from you that your party will not use state resources, including security personnel, to perpetuate itself.

While it was possible to bend the rules and confer advantage on your party in the past, the emergence of new alternative political parties has profoundly altered the political landscape. It would be truly transformational if you will use the platform of your meeting to reassure President Obama and the international community in the after-meeting press briefing or communiqu that Nigeria will follow in the footsteps of Ghana, Senegal and Mali in the quality of the election it will hold, the PDM letter to Jonathan read.

The letter further said since Jonathan took over the mantle of leadership in 2010, the reputation and influence of Nigeria in world affairs has suffered an embarrassing setback. We feel it is time you stand up to be counted as the leader of a great country and step forward to offer our continent statesmanly leadership.

According to the letter to Jonathan, Corruption has plagued our institutions and has embedded itself in our governance and society as the routine, standard modus operandi for transactions amongst public and private entities alike. Despite marginal improvement, Transparency International s Corruption Perceptions Index still ranked Nigeria as the 35th most corrupt nation in the world in 2012. The government, the police, and the judiciary are perceived as the most corrupted institutions in Nigeria today.

PDM reminded Jonathan that the US and other international allies had actively collaborated with and offered assistance to Nigeria in its fight against corruption, especially between 2002 and 2009, but this enthusiasm and that of our international allies began to wane when business-as-usual began to creep back, culminating in your grant of pardon to the convicted former Governor of Bayelsa State. That action has robbed you of the moral capital you need to fight corruption in your government and in the rest of the nation at large.

Before you meet Obama in New York, it would do Nigeria a world of good if you would reverse that pardon and then, when you meet him, renew the commitment of your government to a genuine fight against corruption beyond meaningless media sound bites. For if corruption continues to grow at the current rate,DURHAM, N.C.- Police- Gunman killed near NC campus after pursuit

On the increasing level of insecurity in the country, the PDM said: Last week, about 150 innocent Nigerians were massacred in the small town of Beni Shek in Yobe State where a state of emergency you declared is still in force. Similarly, Ombatse, a traditional religious cult in Nasarawa State, which has been implicated in the massacre of over 100 on-duty security personnel in May, has again allegedly ransacked and burnt down a whole community while killing scores of innocent citizens who looked up to the government for protection.

Furthermore the uncertainty surrounding last week s shootings in Abuja points towards a crisis of confidence and trust. In a time of deep-rooted and widespread insecurity it becomes far too easy for corrupted officials and leaders to conduct operations of self-interest under the auspices of security and counter-insurgency.

Nsofor Focused on Eagles’ Qualification for Brazil 201

<html>

Lokomotiv Moscow forward Victor Obinna Nsofor has promised to do more after his return to the Super Eagles.

Nsofor, who has scored vital goals for Nigeria in the past, said he is excited coach Stephen Keshi recalled him to the national team and has now set his sights on helping Nigeria beat Ethiopia to get a Brazil 2014 World Cup ticket,basketball jerseys cheap, among other things.

The full interview:



Congratulations on your return to the Super Eagles.



Thank you very much.



You have been away for a while, how has it being for you since you were overlooked by the Super Eagles?



I wasn t happy with it, but I was always in touch with the team. I am always with them in spirit and talk to those I know well in the team before and after the games. I still saw myself as a member of the team even when I was not called up.



Did you really believe you would be recalled to the team?

 

Yes, I strongly had that feeling that if I kept doing well for my club, I will get another look-in and I thank God it happened. At some point, I was injured and I believe that delayed my return to the Eagles.



What should we expect of Nsofor now you are back in the team?

&nbsp,<a name="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html">wholesale nfl jerseys china</a>;

I am still as potent as I used to be, in fact I am a better player now having gathered more experience over the year. I am back in Eagles for better performances and contributions.



How do the current Eagles compare to the team of the past?

 

Super Eagles now are an ongoing process and getting stronger day by day, match after match. Previously, we had a lot of experienced players but now we have a lot of young and good players who have brought a lot of power and zeal into the team. This team will be great.



What do you think is responsible for the improvement in the Eagles as you have pointed out?

 

Let me say unity and a zeal to excel. The players and the coaches are united and there is no discrimination, with this, the sky will be our starting point. I am happy to be part of this team.



Eagles have been drawn with Ethiopia for the Brazil 2014 play off, what can you say?

 

All the 10 teams at this point will be tough. We don t have to underrate our opponents, all we need do is be focused and play them as if we are playing the best team in the world in a cup final over two legs. We can t afford to miss out on Brazil 2014.



What targets have you set with the Eagles?

&nbsp,cheap jerseys free shipping;

I want to help my country to qualify for the 2014 World Cup and go ahead to do well at the tournament proper,LearnAfrica lauds 2013 NECO performances



You were at some point linked to a return to the English Premier League.

 

Yes, that is true, but nothing concrete happened. I am enjoying my time at Lokomotiv Moscow.



What do you hope to achieve with The Railway Men this term?

 

Just to keep doing well, score goals and help my club secure continental ticket at least. But I also want to win a trophy at least this season.



What is the relationship among the Nigerians playing in Russia?

 

It is cordial, we are one family.



Thank for your time.

Students taken to hospital after bus crash in North Gulfport

<html>GULFPORT -- Twelve Harrison County students were taken to a hospital Monday for what appeared to be minor injuries after the school bus they were riding in collided with a vehicle near North Gulfport 7th & 8th Grade School. None of the students appeared to have life-threatening injuries,cheap jerseys free shipping, said Harrison County Schools Superintendent Henry Arledge. The crash was reported just before 3:30 p.m. Police said the bus and a vehicle collided at Indiana Avenue and Jackson Street and the bus then hit a utility pole. Twelve students were taken to Garden Park Medical Center for injuries that appeared to involve bruises,Bills vs. Jets, NFL Week 3- Bills snap counts for offense, d,wholesale nfl jerseys china,Lagos Ministerial List Intact, Says South, bumps and sore limbs,basketball jerseys cheap, Fire Chief Mike Beyerstedt said.

Police officials said no details were immediately available on how the crash occurred. The incident is under investigation.</html>

USPS seeks increase in cost of stamps, to 49 cents

<html>WASHINGTON -- It soon could cost 49 cents to mail a letter. The postal Board of Governors said Wednesday it wants to raise the price of a first-class stamp by 3 cents, citing the agency's "precarious financial condition" and the uncertain prospects for postal overhaul legislation in Congress. "Of the options currently available to the Postal Service to align costs and revenues,AUDU Star in Olorogun & Company Comedy Series, Articles, increasing postage prices is a last resort that reflects extreme financial challenges," board chairman Mickey Barnett wrote customers. The rate proposal must be approved by the independent Postal Regulatory Commission. If the commission accepts it, the increase would become effective Jan. 26. Under federal law the post office cannot raise its prices more than the rate of inflation unless it gets approval from the commission. In seeking the increase,Plaza Midwood- 3 Amigos robbed at gunpoint, Barnett cited "extraordinary and exceptional circumstances which have contributed to continued financial losses" by the agency. As part of the rate increase request, the cost for each additional ounce of first-class mail would increase a penny to 21 cents while the price of mailing a postcard would rise by a cent,basketball jerseys cheap, to 34 cents. The cost to mail a letter to an international destination would jump 5 cents to $1.15. Many consumers won't feel the increase immediately. Forever stamps bought before an increase still would cover first-class postage. The price of new forever stamps would be at the higher rate, if approved. The Postal Service also said it would request price increases totaling 5.9 percent for bulk mail, periodicals and package service rates, according to a filing to be made with the commission today. Media and marketing businesses that rely on postal services say a big increase in rates could hurt them and lower postal volume and revenues. Rafe Morrissey, the Greeting Card Association's vice president of postal affairs, said the rate increases were "no substitute for common-sense, structural reforms" and the group hoped they would be rejected. The post office expects to lose $6 billion this year and is seeking help from Congress to fix its finances. Barnett said the increases, if approved,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, would generate $2 billion annually for his agency. The agency last raised postage rates on Jan. 27, including a penny increase in the cost of first-class mail to 46 cents. The Postal Service unsuccessfully sought an emergency 5.6 percent rate increase in 2010, citing the recession. The commission acknowledged that the recession had hurt revenues, but said the rate request was more of an attempt to address long-term structural problems. Barnett said the post office would reconsider its rate request if Congress passes legislation to put the agency's finances back on track. But prospects in Congress are unclear. A bipartisan bill in the Senate would end Saturday mail delivery after one year and cease door-to-door delivery for new residential and business addresses. The agency says ending Saturday mail delivery would save $2 billion each year. But many lawmakers, along with postal worker unions, have resisted such changes,cheap jerseys free shipping, saying they would inconvenience customers. Postal Service supports the proposed delivery changes. It also is seeking to reduce its $5.6 billion annual payment for future retiree health benefits. It missed two of those payments in 2012, one deferred from the previous year, and is expected to miss another at the end of this month, when its fiscal year ends. The Senate bill would change the method by which the retiree health costs are calculated, as well as allow the agency to ship alcoholic beverages and compete with private shippers.</html>

Gloves and Gowns Don’t Cut Hospital Care Infections, A Stud

<html>A new study shows that wearing gloves and gowns in the intensive care units does not cut the risk of acquiring life-threatening infections such as MRSA and VRE.

The main causes of hospital care infections are methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) affecting roughly five percent of the patients admitted to the hospitals,From the Armchair- Seattle Seahawks, Week 5.

Staphylococcus aureus is a group of bacteria dwelling in the surface of the skin and inside the nose. Though naturally harmless,wholesale nfl jerseys china,Burlington raffle gets you GC’s for every purchase at SM stores_0, it becomes dangerous when it enters the body through a cut or wound. It is difficult to treat as it is resistant to a number of antibiotics. vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus,cheap jerseys free shipping, on the other hand,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, lives in the people's intestines and skin and is also resistant to most antibiotics. Both bacteria are transmitted inside the hospital through contaminated objects and mostly from the hands of the doctors.

Redknapp takes swipe at FA over England snub

<html>Harry Redknapp has claimed the Football Association's senior officials don't have the right experience to appoint the England manager.

Redknapp, then in charge at Tottenham, had been widely expected to replace Fabio Capello as England boss when the Italian resigned last year.

The public groundswell of support for Redknapp, who says he received messages backing him for the post from the likes of Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard, was so strong that he was convinced he would get the job and asked Brendan Rodgers, then Swansea manager and now at Liverpool, to be his assistant at Euro 2012.

But the FA's four-man selection panel, comprising then chairman David Bernstein,NBA mania hits fever pitch as Rockets, Pacers hit town on Mo, director of football Trevor Brooking, managing director Alex Horne and Club England managing director Adrian Bevington, instead made the surprise decision to hire Roy Hodgson from West Bromwich Albion.

Although Redknapp, now boss at Championship leaders QPR, maintains he holds no grudge against Hodgson, the former Spurs boss is clearly still unhappy at the snub and,basketball jerseys cheap, writing in his new book which is being serialised in the Daily Mail, he took the opportunity to take a swipe at the English game's governing body.

"I wouldn't trust the FA to show me a good manager if their lives depended on it. How would they know? What clubs have they ever run? Who do they speak to who really knows the game?" Redknapp said.

"This isn't about them giving the England job to me or Roy Hodgson, but English football being run by people who really haven't got a clue. And they get to pick the England manager!

"Everyone said I was the people's choice,Jason Witten praises Terrance Williams after huge game,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, the only choice. All the senior players seemed to be up for me to get the job. I got quite a few text messages at the time from players saying they would love me to manage England: Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry.

"But the FA went for Roy Hodgson to be the England manager -- a man who is more their cup of tea.

"I'll admit, I thought it was mine. Everyone seemed so certain, everyone I had met from all parts of the game seemed utterly convinced it was my job."

Redknapp also took a subtle dig at the relatively poor quality of England's play under Hodgson as he described his reasons for wanting to hire Rodgers, whose teams are well respected for their commitment to passing football, as his temporary assistant.

"If I had become the England manager I would have taken Brendan Rodgers as my number two," Redknapp added.

"My thinking on Brendan was this: if he can do it with players from the lower leagues at Swansea, what can he do with Rio and Terry or Rooney and Gerrard?

"I told him I wanted England to play with as much technical ambition as Swansea. He was up for it.

"It didn't work out. On April 1, I was contemplating the way forward for England with Brendan Rodgers -- and on April 29 the FA offered the job to Roy Hodgson."

Redknapp believes that the issue of compensation to Tottenham remains one of the reasons why the FA decided not to interview him.

"I'm sure the FA would deny they were interested in me anyway, they always like to say they got their number one choice,cheap jerseys free shipping, but maybe what helped make their minds up was the thought of writing a cheque in the region of ��16 million ($25.7 million, 18.9 million euros) to (Tottenham chairman) Daniel Levy," Redknapp said.

"He is known for driving a hard bargain at the best of times; get Daniel on a bad day and I would have ended up more expensive than Capello -- and the FA were already getting a lot of criticism over his ��6 million-a-year salary.

"Of all the reasons doing the rounds for me not becoming England manager, the compensation issue makes most sense."</html>

Agent of 'Nasri

<html>Arsenal target Clement Grenier is likely to move on next summer his agent has stated.

"We are following him, I like the intelligence of his play, he has interesting qualities, if anyone, he reminds me of [Samir] Nasri."

That was  manager Arsene Wenger speaking in June to  regarding Lyon ace .

Grenier has also been compared to Brazilian star Kaka,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, and Juninho Pernambucano for his free-kick taking skills.

Following Wenger's comments  were linked with a deal for the 22-year-old,basketball jerseys cheap, who had just one year remaining on his contract.

The situation was clarified and ended for the summer when the playmaker put pen to paper on a new deal to take him up until 2016.

However Lyon are in a moment of crisis,Awards Preview- American League and National League Rookie o, winless in four games and hammered 5-1 by Montpellier at the weekend, and it appears Grenier is already reconsidering his future.

His agent Frederic Guerra told : "We extended there is little his contract until June 2016,Meet Cressida Bonas, the Royal Family's 'Anti, but that does not mean he can not leave.He is a player of Lyon,wholesale nfl jerseys china, and he would not move before June to put the odds on his side to get his call for the World Cup 2014. But from June 2014, there could be something."

Grenier has played 10 games for Lyon this season scoring two goals and providing three assists.

Red Sox beat Tampa Bay Rays 3

<html>When the Red Sox gave up Jose Iglesias for Jake Peavy in a deadline deal,cheap jerseys free shipping, some Red Sox fans were livid. Iglesias was hitting over .300 at the time, and providing Gold Glove-caliber defense, as he is known for doing.
Last night, however,Climatic Conditions Continue To Perplex Scientists About Ori, Peavy showed exactly why the Sox made the trade, providing the team with 5 2/3 innings of quality pitching, helping secure a win over the Rays and a trip to the ALCS.
Peavy allowed only 5 hits and 1 run, and then gave way to Craig Breslow, who was also outstanding. Breslow pitched 1 2/3,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, gave up one hit and struck out 4.
Those two pitchers, along with close Koji Uehara,Larry Bird holds court, and he doesn't disappoint 5, were instrumental in the Red Sox advancing ot the next level.
The ability to have Jake Peavy come out as their 4th starter was incredibly valuable for the Red Sox, and he easily outperformed Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson,wholesale nfl jerseys china, who only lasted 1 inning before being lifted by Rays manager Joe Maddon, who had an extraordinarily quick hook.
The Red Sox will play the winner of Thursday s Athletics-Tigers game. The Sox might be the favorite heading into that one, thanks to a slew of quality offseason acquisitions.
Not a lot has been made of the job that GM Ben Cherington did in the offseason. Stephen Drew, Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino, Mike Carp, David Ross and Koji Uehara were all outstanding acquisitions, and helped put the Red Sox in the position they are today.
Congrats to the Red Sox on an outstanding season so far, and hopefully there s plenty more to come.

Comcast, Verizon Kill Technology Joint Venture After 17 Mont

<html>Last year, when Verizon Wireless and Comcast were trying to get lawmakers to sign off on a giant wireless spectrum sale/noncompete pact, the two companies also said they were going to create a technology/R D joint venture. It was supposed to come up with really cool tech products that consumers would love.

That JV is now dead. Verizon announced its demise today during the company s earnings call, but said the partnership actually ended in late August.

The news here is that the most important part of the Comcast/Verizon deal hasn t changed. Verizon still owns valuable spectrum it purchased from Comcast, and .

It s not surprising that Comcast and Verizon have concluded that their JV didn t make sense. Most JVs don t. And if there is an example of two companies at the scale of Comcast and Verizon successfully working together to create cool consumer tech, I d love to hear about it.

For the record, though, the two companies didn t seem to have those doubts back in March 2012. Back then, when the companies were still trying to get federal approval for the deal,S.F. cop accused of spending on,basketball jerseys cheap, they were pointing to the JV as a big win for consumers.

Here s what Comcast executive vice president David Cohen told a Senate subcommittee back then:

��By enhancing the Cable Companies�� and Verizon Wireless��s own products and services,California High School Forces Students to Turn American Flag, the Joint Venture will compete with similar solutions that AT T, Dish Network, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and others already have introduced into the marketplace. This, in turn, will spur other companies to respond, perpetuating a cycle of competitive investment and innovation.��

And here s what Verizon is saying, via a spokesperson, today:

The joint venture was formed to bring innovation to the marketplace and enhance the customer experience through technology that integrated wireline and wireless products and services. Evolving technology and market changes since the joint venture was formed have led all parties to conclude that a joint venture, per se, is no longer needed to deliver innovative services to customers. Verizon Wireless and the cable companies will continue to explore ways to collaborate on technology in the future. Each company remains committed to bringing innovation to its customers and will continue to find ways to optimize the user experience for each company��s products.

If you re a skeptical person, you might think that Comcast and Verizon were overselling the benefits of the JV from the start. You might think that they never really thought they could successfully compete with the likes of Apple and Google, but were holding out the idea because consumer groups were unhappy with the other parts of their pact, which seemed likely to reduce competition between the two companies.

On the other hand, both Comcast and Verizon did assign people to work on this stuff together, and they did do some work. Comcast, for instance, points to the , which lets you download movies and TV shows to your iPad and iPhone and take them with you, as an example of the joint venture s output. [Update: Strike that. A Comcast rep tells us we had bad information: The app was made in-house,wholesale nfl jerseys china, not via the JV.]

So,cheap jerseys free shipping, if you were a different kind of skeptical person, you might think that Comcast and Verizon really did think they could successfully compete with the likes of Apple and Google. And the fact that it only took them 17 months to realize they were wrong and pull the plug is a good thing.

Arthritis- What are my options-

<html>Exercise

Moderate exercise has been shown to decrease symptoms and increased function in patients with mild to moderate arthritis. The goals of exercise are to maintain and/or improve range of motion and strength. The key is not to perform exercises that cause increased symptoms, which may be difficult in people with more advanced arthritis. The general rule of thumb is: don t do exercises that result in pain lasting for more than an hour after you are finished exercising or that produce pain that keeps you awake at night. So with joint damage, no pain, no gain does not apply.

Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatories

Anti-inflammatory medications decrease inflammation and thereby decrease pain and swelling associated with arthritis. NSAIDs play a major role in the treatment of arthritis symptoms. Long term use can pose both GI and cardiovascular problems so make sure you check with your physician even when taking over the counter medication.

Corticosteroids

Corticosteroid injections can provide short term (3-6 month) relief in symptoms for many patients with osteoarthritis. Although some people are concerned about the long term complications of these injections, there is no significant evidence to show that they advance the progression of arthritis. Injections don t work for everyone and most doctors recommend a maximum of two or three injections per year.

Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation treatments involve injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) into the knee. HA is the natural lubrication that the body makes in joints to provide lubrication. These injections stimulate your body to produce normal synovial fluid, a component is HA, which can help with symptoms as well as possibly slow the progression of arthritis. The research is mixed on its effectiveness. These injections are done every six months and are covered by insurance. Depending on the brand, they can be a single shot or multiple injections with as many as five over a five week period.

PRP

PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections involve taking a small amount of your own blood, spinning it down, and injecting the platelets back into the problematic area. To date, there is no hard evidence showing the effectiveness for the treatment of arthritis. However, there are case studies that show benefit as well as anecdotal evidence. There is low risk with the procedure but it is not covered by insurance and can be fairly costly, ranging from $350 to over $1000 per injection with most treatments consisting of three injections over three weeks.

Prolotherapy

Otherwise known as proliferative or regenerative therapy,Tears Of Blood From Tennessee Man's Eyes Leav, prolotherapy involves injecting an irritant or inflammatory material in to the body to stimulate the body s own healing process. Again results are mixed and hard scientific proof of effectiveness is lacking.

Stem Cells

To date, there is a lack of clinical trials regarding the use of stem cells for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Basic science studies show the potential role of stem cells and some success has been reported in treating arthritis but further evidence is needed. And as with PRP injections, stem cell treatment is not covered by insurance and can be cost prohibitive for most patients.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopic surgery for the symptoms of aching and swelling associated with osteoarthritis has mixed results. It is most effective for pain that includes catching and locking. One research study showed that placebo surgery was as effective as the actual procedure itself. I use the rule of thirds for arthroscopy as a remedy forarthritis. A third get better,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, a third stay the same, and a third will continue to get worse despite surgical intervention. Make sure to ask your physician what the expected outcome is before considering arthroscopic surgery.

Joint Replacement

When conservative measures fail and quality of life is suffering, joint replacement surgery can be a cure for the problem. Joint replacement actually fixes the arthritis by removing all of the diseased cartilage and resurfacing the joint. Joint replacement is most effective in people with severe disabling pain and those people who are willing to modify their activities with the surgery having a 75-90% success rate.

Joint replacement is not for the person who has minor achy discomfort with activities or for the person who wants to get back to life as a 20-year-old.One must meet certain criteria to be a candidate and have realistic expectations following surgery. You re not going to run a marathon afterwards but 18 holes of golf and doubles tennis is totally realistic.

Everyone knows someone whose life is affected in some way by arthritis. It is a disease process that presently has no cure. There are many treatments on the market today that provide substantial pain relief. The best treatment approach involves modifying activity,cheap jerseys free shipping, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, keeping your weight under control,Microsoft is thinking big with its Windows Phone OS update,basketball jerseys cheap, and not rushing into surgery unless conservative management has failed.
