Today Tahrir newspaper published a report spread online as report issued by the European commission to prove that the army committed war crimes against the protesters in Egypt , that report appeared at first in Mujaz.me news website and you can imagine the buzz it caused.

Human Rights Commission Probe Fronts Andhra Government On Sathya Sai Baba T
2011-04-19 00:31:00 In the last hours, many Indian newspapers have run the story on the direction by the Andhra Pradesh Human Rights Commission to the State government to produce a report on Sathya Sai Baba's health condition. None too early in the piece, Sathya Sai Baba devotees themselves are now, at least via their lawyers, demanding answers concerning the workings of the Sathya Sai Central Trust. Readers of this blog, and that of Robert Priddy and of related websites, have long been presented with evidence of grievous lack of accountability in the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, and, at large, the international Sri Sathya Sai Organization. There are trust issues indeed. Since circa 2000, when the internet began to allow the rapid universal spread of information and communication, constant execration and libel have been heaped on the efforts of former Sathya Sai Baba followers to present a critique of the corrupt workings of the Sathya Sai apparatus. It is one of history's odd ironies that Sai de...
Ralph M. Hall statement National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil
2011-01-12 23:48:00 Washington, DC ? January 12, 2011 - Rep. Ralph M. Hall (R-TX), Chairman of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, today released the following statement regarding a report released yesterday by the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling:?I would like to thank the members of the President?s National Commission on the BP Oil Spill, and I look forward to evaluating their recommendations. Not surprisingly, the report goes beyond addressing the root causes of the accident and offers commentary on offshore drilling as a whole, a concern that this Committee raised when the Commission was chartered.?While government and industry should both continue to improve their management of drilling practices, and there is certainly a need for diligence on the part of federal regulators tasked with oversight of these activities, it is imperative that we do not recklessly handicap our energy sector. Congress needs time to fully study this report, as...

2011-01-12 14:19:00 WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Fred Upton (R-MI), chairman of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, issued the following statement today after the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling released its final report: National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling final report FULL TEXT in PDF FORMAT?With rising energy prices and growing global demand, the last thing America can afford is to lock away our own resources and increase our dependence on foreign sources of energy. Our goal must be an ?all of the above? strategy that safely and responsibly develops American-made energy.?The Commission?s report is one of several investigations into the Deepwater Horizon spill, and its findings will be among those considered as we work to prevent this type of disaster from ever being repeated. That?s why it is disappointing that, even after completing its final report, the commission has left unanswered the fundament...

European Commission Opens Antitrust Investigation Against Google
2010-12-02 07:50:00 Google has again landed in trouble in Europe. The European commission has decided to open an antitrust investigation into allegations that the search major has abused its dominance of online search engine. The investigators will also investigate the suspected regulations that Google’s business practices stifle competition by preventing other websites in its advertising network to feature commercial messages from its competitors. The investigation is the result of allegation made by the companies- Foundem, a British price comparison site and Ciao, another price comparison site owned by Microsoft. These companies alleged Google of preferential placement of its own vertical search services, higher on the sponsored search results that companies have to pay for. Interestingly, earlier this month Benjamin Edelman, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School published some data to show hard-Coding Bias in Google “Algorithmic” Search Results.

The disgraced former Home Minister, Ashok Singhal, who along with Vajpayee and Joshi is an old adherant of Sathya Sai Baba, is also named.

The Joint Commission Experience
2009-06-28 20:19:00 Some people have asked me what I did last week and what this "Joint Commission" thing is. Especially if you see patients in the hospital on a daily basis, hearing the words "The Joint Commission" (TJC) should make you a little tense.For lack of a better term, TJC is a regulatory agency who inspects hospitals every three years or so to review hospital policies and procedures to maximize patient safety. Unfortunately, what is covered in the news a lot are patients sometimes accidentally harmed when they come to the hospital. How can this happen you ask? Most times, it is the breakdown of processes that occur in the hospital - in addition to human error.Anyway, TJC comes to hospital unannounced to conduct their survey. So, for the past year or so, the hospital has been preparing (by reviewing and updating policies and procedures) and wondering when TJC was going to stop by. It happened last week.Being the Chief of Staff for the docs of my hospital, I'm one of the people that the TJC r...

Kangaroo Lives Back in November 2007, the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4, four broadcasters in the UK, announced plans for a joint online video on demand venture.
