NRI doctor killed by stalker in US

April 28, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

New York City, April 27 — An Indian doctor at the School of Medicine at the Ivy League Yale University was murdered outside his residence in a quiet Connecticut town apparently by a former colleague from a New York hospital who stalked him over an earlier dispute. The victim, 34-year-old Vajinder Pal Toor, lived in Branford, and was a post-doctoral fellow at Yale’s Medical School.

The suspect, 44-year-old Chinese national Lishan Wang, has been arrested by the local police and charged with murder and attempt to murder. Wang’s last known address was in an Atlanta suburb, Marietta.

He is originally from Beijing. The incident occurred at about 8 am as Dr Toor was headed towards his car at the condo complex where he lived in the suburb of New Haven, where the university is located.

The gunman shot Dr Toor multiple times but failed in his attempt to shoot his wife, Parneeta, who is five-months pregnant. The Toors have a three-year-old child.

Wang was apprehended while driving away in his red minivan about a mile from Toor’s residence. He was carrying two handguns at that time.

Dr Toor had graduated in 2001 from Guru Govind Singh Medical College in Punjab. A person who picked up the phone at Toor’s residence but did not identify herself said that his wife was “still in a state of shock but was trying to appear calm” so that the child was not upset.

The genesis of the alleged killer, Wang’s anger appears to date back to 2008 when he worked under Dr Toor’s supervision at the Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Centre in Brooklyn, New York. Wang was suspended by the hospital in May 2008 and fired in July that year.

Oz Electoral Commission orders probe into claims that family voted 159 times

March 27, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

Sydney, Mar. 27 (ANI): The South Australian Electoral Commission has ordered an investigation into an allegation that a family fraudulently voted 159 times in last Saturday”s state election.

Earlier, an anonymous letter obtained by The Advertiser had claimed that the family stole the identities of other voters who couldn’t vote on polling day, and added that an underage member of the fraudulent family was permitted to vote 31 times.

News.com.au quoted Electoral Commissioner Kay Mousley, as saying that the claims in the letter are feasible.

Mousley added that she was taking the scam “very seriously,” and had forwarded the matter to the State Government for investigation.

“Penalties of up to 2500 dollars and six months in jail exist for people who vote multiple times, but there are no checks on polling day to stop individuals rorting the system under assumed identities,” she said.

While the letter does not reveal where or who the votes were cast for, it claims that the stunt was inspired by a need for electoral reform.

“Our activities may or may not have influenced the outcome of the election. We did this simply by using careful research and planning. The research provided names of those who could not vote, would not be voting, or needed assistance to vote,” it said.

“The planning involved mapping out a circuit of polling stations in such a way as to cover the maximum amount of ground in the time available. We memorised the names and addresses to use,” it added.

The letter warns that the fraud will be repeated on a larger scale at the next election unless reforms, including abolition of compulsory voting, are introduced.

“There are individuals who are incapable of voting but they remain on the electoral roll. There are individuals who are absent. There are individuals who need assistance and are all too easily conned into giving up their right to vote,” the letter said.

“You may wish to consider this a hoax. It is not,” it added. (ANI)

Iranian youth recounts how he was raped, beaten for questioning Ahmadinejad’s victory

September 12, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Tehran, Sep. 11 (ANI): A teenaged engineering student has revealed that he was locked up, beaten and raped multiple times for daring to protest against President Ahmadinejad’s disputed re-election.

“When I first participated in the protests I was not demonstrating against the Leader or the Islamic Republic. I was protesting Ahmadinejad’s cheating. But today, I say ‘Death to Khamenei’, and having been raped by his henchmen I also say ‘Death to the Dogs of Khamenei,” Times Online quoted Ardeshir, 19, as saying.

Ardeshir recounts that after being arrested he was driven to an apartment building 90 minutes away that was clearly an unofficial detention centre.

“A Basiji called Mahmoud urinated on my face, saying that this would teach me not to oppose the divine wishes of the Great Leader of the Revolution. ‘We have been sent to re-educate you, you spoilt Western piece of shit.

“Another Basiji came up and raped me. At this point I felt that I was not me. I seemed to have shut down and separated from my body. Why these people who claim to be the most religious in our society can do such things?” report quoted him, as saying.

A hospital report confirms he suffered anal damage. He has temporarily abandoned his studies temporarily and seeks solace by playing the santur, an Iranian instrument.

“He has extreme feelings of self-hatred resulting from a sense that he will never be clean again, and from shame over the repeated rapes,” his psychologist says.

Ardeshir – not his real name – is one of scores of detainees who have been raped and tortured by their jailers in the past three months in what appears to be a systematic attempt to break their will, the report concludes. (ANI)

UN agency condemns killing of journalist in Pakistan

September 1, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

United Nations, Sep 1 (ANI): The U.N. agency that defends press freedom has condemned yet another murder of an Afghan journalist working in Pakistan’s north-west for his criticism of the Taliban last week.

Janullah Hashimzada, the 37-year-old bureau chief of Shamshad TV channel, died after being shot multiple times in an ambush last Monday in the Khyber Pass region. His colleague, Ali Khan, was seriously wounded during the same attack.

Hashimzada, who also worked on a freelance basis for the news agencies AP and Pajhwok Afghan News, the newspapers Wahdat and Sahar, and the TV network Al-Arabia, is the second journalist to be killed in Pakistan this month.

Sadiq Bacha Khan, a correspondent of Aaj TV and former President of the Press Club of Mardan, was shot dead on his way to work on August14, The Nation reported.

The International Press Institute (IPI) said 11 journalists have been killed in Pakistan in the past two years, with six of the murders occurring in the strife-torn northwest.

Koochiro Matsuura, the Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), condemned the slaying of Hashimzada and noting that journalists pay “too heavy a price” for carrying out their work.

“This murder highlights the vulnerability of journalists working in conflict and post-conflict areas, where they fulfil a vital role in providing us with independent information,” he said.

“Peace, democracy and the rule of law depend and require an open and informed debate, which is also essential for reconciliation and reconstruction.” (ANI)

“Self- healing” plastic may facilitate recycling of e-waste

April 27, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, April 27 (ANI): Scientists in The Netherlands are reporting development of a new plastic with a “self-healing polymer” that has potential for use in the first easy-to-recycle computer circuit boards, electrical insulation, and other electronics products that now wind up on society’s growing heaps of electronic waste.

Antonius Broekhuis and colleagues note in the new study that so-called thermoset plastics are widely used in consumer electronics due to their hardness and heat resistance.

These plastics, however, contain additives and reinforcement materials that make them almost impossible to recycle.

So-called thermoplastics, in contrast, are softer and can be remelted easily.

As a result, thermoset plastics often end up in landfills or incinerators, where they can contribute to pollution.

Scientists have long-sought a simple, inexpensive process to make these plastics recyclable, but they have been largely unsuccessful until now.

Broekhuis and colleagues describe development of a new type of thermosetting plastic that can be melted and remolded without losing its original heat-resistance and strength.

The scientists showed in laboratory tests that they could melt granules of what they term a “self-healing” polymer and reform them into uniform, rigid plastic bars.

They also showed that the plastic could be remolded multiple times, setting the stage for a new generation of recyclable plastics. (ANI)

‘Eloquent’, ‘love’ top pretty word chart, ‘vomit’, ‘moist’ ugly

April 12, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, Apr 12 (ANI): “Eloquent,” “love” and “symphony”-these are just some of the words that grab students’ eyeballs and ears as they find them pretty, but words like “vomit,” “moist” and “puke” are a big turn off because pupils think they are ugly, revealed a new survey.

Robert E. Wolverton Sr., a Mississippi State University classics professor, surveyed some 75 students in his classes and asked them to name the most pretty and ugly in the English language.

The poll is part of Wolverton’s “semi-frequent” examination of how students at the university view widely used terms.

Of the 148 different “beautiful” words submitted by students this year are several listed multiple times, which are: eloquent (six), love (four) and symphony (four). Beautiful, lavender and tranquility each received three mentions.

On the other hand, of the 138 “ugly” words, the following are mentioned multiple times: vomit (six), moist (five), puke (five), phlegm (four), slaughter (four), snot (four), ugly (four), damp (three), and mucus (three).

Also, the name of a football team may make an ugly word for some, while food types have the sound of beauty.

After asking students about what makes a word either pretty or unattractive, Wolverton found that the association between words and sounds, while being pronounced often, factor into how they are considered.

Also, he noted that the same could be true of a word’s language of origin, adding that many words viewed as pretty “often have Greek or Latin origins.”

Generally, he noticed that short, monosyllable words were viewed as ugly, while polysyllabic words seemed to have more likeability.

In comparison previous years, in the 2009 survey, fewer students listed religious-themed words as pretty

Surprisingly, he said that “so many of our students come from small towns. “For many of them the church is the social center.”

While “mellifluous” and “lullaby” were consistently considered pretty over the years, but dropped off this year’s list.

However, “susurrus,” which describes a soft, whispering or rustling sound, made the list for the first time.

According to Wolverton, the increasing number of iPhones and other modern communication technologies may be providing students with “greater word diversity on a regular basis.” (ANI)

Researcher studies details of online relationships forged on social networking sites

March 30, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, March 30 (ANI): A University of Kansas professor is researching details of online relationships forged on social networking sites and determining their significance, depth and potential.

Nancy Baym, associate professor of communication studies, became interested early on in how the Internet shapes interpersonal communication and of late has focused her research on social networking sites in particular.

According to Baym, sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter have revolutionized interpersonal relationships for the digital age.

Within these online communities, users share status updates, self-generated media, journal entries and other interpersonal communication with an ever-growing cadre of online friends.

The purpose is to reinforce established friendships and form bonds with new friends.

“They start in the mid-late 1990s based on this idea that Stanley Milgram had that everybody’s connected by six degrees of separation – and the first one was actually called ‘sixdegrees.com’,” said Baym.

“And they’re based on the premise that you’re more likely to want to get to know people who know people you already know than all-out strangers. So, rather than a dating site that just has people putting up profiles and trying to randomly match, what if you could put up profiles of people that had shared friends. Wouldn’t those be more likely to succeed?” she added.

Baym said that the fastest-growing segment on Facebook, originally launched at Harvard for college students, now is people over age 35. The site currently claims more than 175 million active users.

Besides such impressive numbers is the enthusiasm such sites are generating, with many users frequenting social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook multiple times per day.

“Different people have different reasons for compulsive Facebook use,” Baym said.

“But, I think it comes down to the fact that there’s a continuous dribble – there’s always something new – so every time you go, something has changed; somebody has updated their status; someone has sent you a request; someone has posted an item,” she added.

Across the social networking sites, online friendships range from close relationships with strong ties to looser affiliations with less connectivity – but both types of friendships are useful. (ANI)
