Gambian leader says to build herbal AIDS-cure hospital
BANJUL (Reuters) - AIDS patients would be offered an herbal cure at a 1,111-bed hospital in Gambia that the president said on Tuesday he plans to build despite medical concerns the treatment is dangerous.
President Yahya Jammeh said in 2007 he had found a remedy of boiled herbs to cure AIDS, stirring anger among Western medical experts who claimed he was giving false hope to the sick.
"With this project coming to fruition, we intend to treat 10,000 HIV/AIDS patients every six months through natural medicine," Jammeh said in his New Year's address, adding that he expected the 1,111-bed hospital to open in 2015.
The World Health Organisation and the United Nations have said Jammeh's HIV/AIDS treatment is alarming mainly because patients are required to cease their anti-retroviral drugs, making them more prone to infection.
Jammeh said in October that 68 HIV/AIDS patients undergoing his herbal remedy had been cured and discharged, the seventh batch since the treatments began five years ago.
Other African leaders have drawn criticism for extolling the power of natural remedies to combat AIDS.
The administration of former South African President Thabo Mbeki was ridiculed for denying there was a link between HIV and AIDS while prescribing meaningless treatments such as beet root instead of internationally proven medicines.
The HIV rate in Gambia is relatively low compared to other African states, with 2 percent of the country's roughly 1.8 million people infected, according to the United Nations.
Jammeh came to power in Gambia, a sliver of land on Africa's west coast that is popular with sun-seeking European tourists, in a bloodless military coup in 1994.
He is accused by activists of human rights abuses during his rule, and most recently drew international criticism for executing nine death-row inmates by firing squad.

Wagering On Auto Racing ? Recreation and Sports
Auto Racing is a well-liked sport in a America and one that draws quite a crowd when it comes to high stakes gambling. The unpredictable nature of car racing makes it a fun and exciting sport to bet on even for gamblers that don?t follow it routinely. Auto racing picks can be found easily on the internet.
Making bets on Auto Racing is easy and involves very little understanding on the sport other than knowing some of the big names in the race. The drivers in each race are scored based on their past performances in other races and bets are weighed accordingly. Big time drivers, such as Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are popular picks.
Usually, there is a system in place that gives ranking to each driver. If a bet is wagered on a favorite winning driver such as Jimmie Johnson, the winnings will not be as much as a driver that isn?t anticipated to do as well. The ranking are set up on a scale of 100-1000, with each point giving a return to the bet placed. If a driver is ranked a 1000, they are not predicted to place well and if a wager of $10 is placed on the driver, the winnings will be $100 if that driver happens to win the race. A bet placed on a 100 point driver will only return the amount placed as a bet .
Other options include betting on whether a driver will place in the top 3, or will beat another driver in a head to head bet . Also, wagers can be made on the ?field?, which is a pool of less likely drivers , and could be a huge payout for anyone betting on them.
With a lot of options, this is a sport that attracts gamblers to play in a variety of ways and always looking for free picks to help them make the betting more exciting, profitable and fun for each person involved.

Dr. Oz?s Miraculous Medical Advice
Dr. Mehmet Oz Photograph by Jason Kempin/Getty Images.
As people were getting ready for the holiday season and its accompanying waist expansion late last year, Dr. Mehmet Oz let viewers of his TV show in on a timely little secret. ?Everybody wants to know what?s the newest, fastest fat buster,? said the board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon and one of People magazine?s sexiest men alive. ?How can I burn fat without spending every waking moment exercising and dieting??
He then told his audience about a ?breakthrough,? ?magic,? ?holy grail,? even ?revolutionary? new fat buster. ?I want you to write it down,? America?s doctor urged his audience with a serious and trustworthy stare. After carefully wrapping his lips around the exotic words ?Garcinia cambogia,? he added, sternly: ?It may be the simple solution you?ve been looking for to bust your body fat for good.?
In Dr. Oz?s New York City studio, garcinia extract?or hydroxycitric acid found in fruits like purple mangosteen?sounded fantastic, a promising new tool for the battle against flab. Outside the Oprah-ordained doctor?s sensational world of amazing new diets, there?s no real debate about whether garcinia works: The best evidence is unequivocally against it.
The miracle cure isn?t really a miracle at all. It?s not even new. Garcinia cambogia has been studied as a weight-loss aid for more than 15 years. A 1998 randomized controlled trial looked at the effects of garcinia as a potential ?antiobesity agent? in 135 people. The conclusion: The pills were no better than placebo for weight and fat loss.
More recently, a group of researchers summarized the evidence for this ?breakthrough? extract in a systematic review of 12 randomized trials involving 706 participants. Some?trials?reported?short-term slimming, but the overall effects were so small and most studies were?so?methodologically flawed that?the authors were unable to conclude that garcinia extract has an impact on body weight.
One of those authors, Edzard Ernst, has dedicated his career to analyzing research on alternative and complementary medicine; he found that the supplement may be linked to adverse gastrointestinal effects. He told us, ?Dr. Oz's promotion of this and other unproven or disproven alternative treatments is irresponsible and borders on quackery.?
Still, people march into pharmacies or their physicians? offices every day asking for Dr. Oz-endorsed treatments?even when these treatments are backed by the barest of evidence or none at all. Oz?s satellite patients spend tremendous amounts of money on products he recommends, a phenomenon that has been dubbed the ?Oz Effect.? After he promoted neti pots, for example, Forbes magazine reported sales and online searches for the nasal irrigation system rose by 12,000 percent and 42,000 percent, respectively.
Who can blame his viewers? Oz may be the most credentialed of celebrity health promoters. He?s a professor and vice-chair of surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He earned his degrees at Ivy League universities, namely Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. He?s won a slew of medical awards (in addition to his Emmys) and co-authored hundreds of academic articles. He?s clearly a smart guy with qualifications, status, and experience. It?s reasonable to assume he is well-versed in the scientific method and the principles of evidence-based medicine. ?Because he?s a physician, that lends a certain authority and credibility to his opinions,? said Steven Novella, a?clinical?neurologist?and assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine who has taken Oz to task for his science. ?But it lends credibility to anything he says.?
And lately, a lot of what Oz has been saying is downright wrong (scroll to the end if viewing as a single page).
To support the awesome assertions about the flab-fighter Garcinia cambogia, the doctor created on his TV show an atmosphere of accessible scientific certainty. He brought out researchers and physicians in white coats who discussed what they said was compelling evidence for the weight-loss panacea. There was an inspiring testimonial from a member of the audience. Plastic models even demonstrated how garcinia could suppress appetite and stop fat from being made. The show had the same easy manner as Oprah discussing Leo Tolstoy with her book club.

TechCrunch Makers: Bossa Nova Robotics & Mobi
When I first saw Bossa Nova Robotics Mobi I was amazed. It was a robot that stood on a single, large ball and could roll through tight spaces and between people. It seemed like a ludicrously cool circus trick. Over the folks at BNR were kind enough to give us a quick tour of their facility in Pittsburgh, PA where they’re commercializing the product and hope to bring it to market next year. The Mobi moves effortlessly across almost any smooth surface and, in an odd way, looks like Rosie the Robot from the Jetsons. The founder, Sarjoun Skaff, brought Mobi to fruition after working on earlier prototypes at the Field Robotics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University. He and his team have built a prototype and research platform so academics can use Mobi as a base for their projects. The technology itself came from the famed Ralph Hollis, a researcher at CMU who invented Mobi’s form of locomotion. In the video below, we were giving the rare opportunity to see the future of Mobi and other ballbots and to really understand how these devices will help us in the future. Mobi gave us a peek at what robots could look like a few short years from now and I, for one, welcome our ball-bottomed overlords.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/h4UTTR50hSg/

GOP Sen. Coburn: House Republicans ?Made A Mistake In Not Supporting Plan B?
On the issue of increased revenue, O?Donnell asked whether ?Boehner part of the problem? Sen. Reid said he?s running a dictatorship.?
?I don?t think so at all,? Coburn replied. The House has passed a lot of things, he said, whereas there?s been inaction in the Senate, and ?that?s the majority leader?s prerogative.?
?I think Speaker Boehner has done a good job with the members that he has,? he continued. ?I think they made a mistake in not supporting Plan B. We would have modified it and sent it back, and then they would have had it make a decision on it.?
Coburn pointed to the increased in the size of the government, noting that ?nobody in Washington is doing anything to fix the growth of the government to where we have one that we can afford.?

Bad thing about is he will have have to worry about the takedown again in their third match. I see the same result as last night.

JDS kept his hands low in the first fight aswell. He was just able to catch Cain with a good shot and end the fight. I thought he would still win this fight, but i was proven wrong. I would like to see him fight Overeem still.
