Hi there my friends and there is a good news for you it is following;Microsoft Research PhD Scholarship 2009
The PhD Scholarship Programme recognises and supports exceptional students who show the potential to make an outstanding contribution to science and computing. This programme supports PhD students in computing and those working at the intersection of computing and the sciences.
Only PhD supervisors should apply. If their project is selected, the supervisor has up to a year to find the best possible student for the project. Joint applications by two supervisors from different disciplines are especially encouraged.
Yes, there are plenty of legitimate U.S. pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies (including online ones) that follow all the laws and regulations and put public safety first.
But there are many that don’t—they are just out to make a fast buck at your expense. These shady businesses fill orders without prescriptions. They pay doctors just to take a quick glance at your brief medical questionnaire. They don’t know if you are drug-addicted, underage, or have another condition that their medications could make worse. And they don’t care.
Worse yet, the products they peddle are questionable, at best. The drugs may be way past their expiration date. They may be counterfeit, mislabeled, adulterated, or contaminated. And they may well be made from suspect raw materials in underground laboratories in the U.S. and abroad, far from the safety-conscious eyes of the Food and Drug Administration.
Part of the problem is that these illegal pharmacies are all over the Internet. More than 80,000 “portal” websites currently sell ad space for these medications and link to one of more than 1,400 “anchor” websites that allow customers to place orders through illegal pharmacies. You don’t even have to search for these offers—they often come straight to your inbox as e-mail spam, enticing you with a cornucopia of drugs on the cheap.
Are there ways to tell whether an online pharmacy is legal? Definitely, and here’s what to look for. Legitimate pharmacies:
Require a prescription from a licensed doctor, usually by mail (if they accept a fax copy, they will always call your doctor to verify the prescription);
Make you submit a detailed medical history;
Clearly state their payment, privacy, and shipping fees on their sites; and
Use secure or encrypted website connections for transactions.
Many legitimate online pharmacies are also certified by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy—check its website for a listing. Bear in mind, some of the larger Internet pharmacies may not be certified because of their already well-recognized names.
More on Health Care Fraud
- Overview - Protecting Your Pocketbook - Case of the Drug-Dealing Doctor - A New Breed of Drug Pusher
To help protect you, the FBI has made Internet pharmacy fraud one of its top health care fraud priorities. We work—and train—with federal investigators from our partner agencies. We also work closely with state and local law enforcement, and, because many illegal online pharmacies have global connections, we often coordinate with our overseas partners.
Just one example of a major crackdown: in August 2007, a San Diego grand jury handed down a 313-count indictment against 18 people, charging them with operating an illegal online pharmacy that netted more than $126 million over a two-year period. Incredibly, this network—which included everyone from doctors and druggists to credit card processors and affiliated websites that advertised the illegal wares—allegedly received over a million Internet orders from customers in all 50 states.
Our bottom-line advice: do your homework and steer clear of illegal Internet pharmacies, even if the prices are tempting. It’s your health, after all.
Researchers Find Safer Way to Produce Stem Cell Alternative
Skin Cells Transformed Without Worrisome Use of Viruses
By Rob Stein
Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, March 2, 2009; Page A05
Scientists have developed what appears to be a safer way to create a promising alternative to embryonic stem cells, boosting hopes that such cells could sidestep the moral and political quagmire that has hindered the development of a new generation of cures.
The researchers produced the cells by using strands of genetic material, instead of potentially dangerous genetically engineered viruses, to coax skin cells into a state that appears biologically identical to embryonic stem cells.
"It's a leap forward in the safe application of these cells," said Andras Nagy of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, who helped lead the international team of researchers that described the work in two papers being published online today by the journal Nature. "We expect this to have a massive impact on this field."
In addition to the scientific implications, the work comes at a politically sensitive moment. Scientists are anxiously waiting for President Obama to follow through on his promise to lift restrictions on federal funding for research on human embryonic stem cells. Critics of such a move immediately pointed to the work as the latest evidence that the alternative cells make such research unnecessary.
if "Stem cell research that requires destroying embryos is going the way of the Model T," Richard M. Doerflinger of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said. "No administration that values science and medical progress over politics will want to divert funds now toward that increasingly obsolete and needlessly divisive approach."
Scientists, however, while praising the work as a potentially important advance, said it remains crucial to work on both types of cells because it is far from clear which will turn out to be more useful.
"The point is, we don't know yet what the end potential of either of these approaches will be," said Mark A. Kay of Stanford University. "No one has cured any disease in people with any of these approaches yet. We don't know enough yet to know which approach will be better."
Because embryonic stem cells are believed capable of becoming any kind of tissue in the body, scientists believe they could eventually lead to treatments or even cures for a host of ailments, including heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. In 2001, President George W. Bush restricted federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research to prevent taxpayer money from encouraging the destruction of human embryos, which is necessary to obtain the cells.
The alternative cells, known as induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, appear to have many of the same characteristics as embryonic stem cells but are produced by activating genes in adult cells to "reprogram" them into a more primitive state, bypassing the moral, political and ethical issues surrounding embryonic cells. Until now, however, their use has been limited because the genetic manipulation required the use of viruses, raising concerns the cells could cause cancer if placed in a patient. That has triggered a race to develop alternative approaches.
"These viral insertions are quite dangerous," Nagy said.
In the new work, Nagy and his colleagues in Toronto and at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland instead used a sequence of DNA known as a transposon, which can insert itself into the genetic machinery of a cell. In this case, the researchers used a transposon called "piggyBac" to carry four genes that can transform mouse and human embryonic skin cells into iPS cells. After the conversion took place, the researchers removed the added DNA from the transformed cells using a specific enzyme.
"PiggyBac carries the four genes into the cells and reprograms the cells into stem cells. After they have reprogrammed the cells, they are no longer required, and in fact they are dangerous," Nagy said. "After they do their job they can be removed seamlessly, with no trace left behind. The ability for seamless removal opens up a huge possibility."

OBITUARY
Prof. Daya Krishna (1924 – 2007)
The Indian Council of Philosophical Research, New Delhi, places on
record its deeply felt sorrow over the sudden and sad demise of Prof.
Daya Krishna, former Professor and Head of the Department of
Philosophy, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, and the Editor of the Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research on 5th October 07. Prof. Daya Krishna was one of the most widely
acknowledged doyens among the living philosophers in India and the Council as well as the entire philosophical community misses him greatly. Prof. Daya Krishna throughout had in him a kind of Socratic streak. His inquiring spirit and attitude was infectious and the way he questioned all established opinions specially inspired successive generations of young students and researchers through the length and breadth of our country. Young men and women would always collect around him like bees would collect around honey-bearing flowers. He always remained the oldest among the young, and the youngest among the old. What was amazing about him was that his critical powers always seemed to be at their peak whatever be his age or state of health. He brought a new vitality into the discussion of various issues in the vast field of Indian philosophy and no area was ignored by him. He could always been seen either discussing what interested him or listening to and participating in a discussion of what interested the person with whom he was conversing. What was most outstanding in all this was his astonishing capacity to take and withstand what appeared to be even the worst and the most bitter of criticisms—philosophical, and sometimes even very personal. His eagerness to learn marked him off very distinctly from all the others of his generation because unlike most of them he wore his curiosity to learn right on his sleeve. He always remained a wonderful person to talk to because he never put on airs, which he could have been most easily tempted to do on account of his seniority, fame and age. The Council is particularly grateful and indebted to him for the very invaluable services rendered by him as the Editor of the Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research. The Journal entered a new stage and a new avatar during his editorship and he spared no efforts to make it a journal of high quality despite several obstacles in his way. The broadening of his philosophical vision seemed to be inversely proportional to the deterioration of his physical vision. He was the very embodiment of the philosophical spirit of enquiry—from top to bottom and from day one in his career to the very last day of his life on earth. His death has created a vacuum which is not easy to fill in the years to come and all of us at the Indian Council of Philosophical Research miss his cherubic and benign presence. We earnestly pray that the members of his family may be able to muster the great strength that is required to bear this extraordinary loss. We once again thank the late Professor from the bottom of our hearts for all the wonderful things that he has so very lovingly done for us all these years, and very tearfully place on record his absolutely matchless services to our Institution.

Bhubaneswar, Jan 19 (PTI) Terming as "unfortunate" the attack on a Russian woman in Puri, Orissa government today said adequate precautionary measures would be taken to ensure safety of foreign tourists visiting the pilgrim town.
"It is a very unfortunate incident. The culprit will be caught soon and stringent action will be taken," Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik told reporters.
Chief Secretary T K Mishra said a high-level review meet would be held soon to access safety of foreign tourists coming to the state.
"Adequate precautions will be taken for safety of foreign visitors to the state," Mishra said.
Lisina Nadezade (30), a Russian national, was injured yesterday when an unidentified youth stabbed her while trying to loot her.
The victim had gone to Baliapanda area in Puri on a bi-cycle when she was stopped by the youth who demanded money from her, police said.
