early parolees who killed in Conneticut
How can the parole board who authorized early release for these two men live with themselves. Their pettiness over who was to pay for records cost the Dr. a beating while his family were killed. This is sheer insanity!. Shame, shame! Marylyn

Cities covered for news
Kindly accept my warm appreciation for covering news from several small but important towns. It would be very useful if Haldia in West Bengal could also be added as a "chemical hub" is coming up here and there is also a proposal to establish a PCPIR (Petrochemical and Pharmaceutical Investment Region) which might shortly come up before the Union Cabinet for clearance and at least two SEZs, one by Salims and another by Ramky, are coming up there and the upgradation of Kulpi port and a possible dee-water port in Haldia might change the economic profile of the town. In view of all these if we can get all news related to Haldia at one site that would be very useful.
Thanking you and best wishes for your valuable work.

Correction
You published an article called "Bihar school teaches Vedic hymns and last rituals". The article says that Gaya is situated on the bank of river Ganga. But for my knowledge Gaya is situated on the bank of river Falgu and not Ganga. Hopefully you will correct this mistake to give right information to reader. Thanks

Changing face of Superstar
The title of the write-up itself is most in-appropriate. The officially acknowledged term of Superstar was first time introduced in Indian Cinema with the introduction of Rajesh Khanna; then how the writer writes about Ashok Kumar to SRK under this article. The title should be more apporpriate as 'Changing face of Leading persons of Indian Silver Screen'. Moreover, under this write-up Mr. Singh has done injustice with Rajesh Khanna by non-mentioning about his most versatile performances and he only highlights his Superstardom era in term of popularity only, whereas without any logic unnecessarily he has mentioned about Amitabh's performance in romantic roles. Actually Amitabh is a most typed performer with his angry image with any variety. In each and every character he looks as Amitabh only; not the character.

Errors in story about discovery of new sub-atomic particle
Please note that the story concerning the discovery of a new sub-atomic particle contains two errors. As a member of the Louisiana Tech University News Bureau, I am the original author of that story, and the information that I sent out was revised in an incorrect manner. First, Louisiana Tech University was one of about 600 institutions taking part in this project. The posted story implies that Louisiana Tech researchers made the discovery by themselves. Secondly, the new particle's name is "cascade b," not "shollis." "Shollis" was a link to my e-mail that was obviously inadvertently copied off of my university's Web site. I would appreciate it if these errors could be corrected. Thank you.

Obesity
I thinks it is very crucial to do these studies to see what shape America is in. So we know what the outcome of obesity will be if we don't do anything about it right now while we are young adults. With the information we have we can make better plans with our exercise plans that will fit our bodies.

Oops!
Kali from Samsara sent the following message:
It is sad to see that you have printed a story that is false. This man that you speak of is not The Karmapa but a human ploy in a game of power and politics that has only seen bitter tears and suffering for many. The great master, The Guru, The 17th Karmapa, is living in India near His Holiness The Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, everyone who follows the true Dharma knows this. How can you say this boy who is being lead by corruption into the international world under false pretenses is this great Master? You are cheating not only yourself by failing to realize the genuine qualities of a Guru, but because you are a media representitive you are cheating others into believing something very un-useful. I would hope that any Indian human who believes in karma would be careful with these kinds of stories. They will bring you nothing but grief in the future. To propagate lies about Gurus is not good. To tell you this is also useless, you will have to experience this in your own way. Good luck!

Prathibha Patil will become president of India
"Whatever the excellent and best ones do, the commoners follow," says Sri Krishna in the Gita. The visionary leader must be a missionary, extremely practical, intensively dynamic and capable of translating dreams into reality. This dynamism and strength of a true leader flows from an inspired and spontaneous motivation to help others. "I am the strength of those who are devoid of personal desire and attachment. O Arjuna, I am the legitimate desire in those, who are not opposed to righteousness," says Sri Krishna in the 10th Chapter of the Gita.

Naturally occuring antibodies may help check Alzheimers
Also other new findings (February 2007), offer significant insights into normal folding mechanisms as well as those that lead to abnormal amyloid fibril conversion (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/02/070212182836.htm). Until about five or six years ago, everyone assumed that the large amyloid plaques, or neurofibrillary tangles, that were found in the brains of Alzheimer's victims were the cause of the disease. However, recent scientific discoveries indicate that these large, insoluble aggregates might merely be markers of the disease-they do not cause the disease (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/02/070215110558.htm).
An international team of chemists and molecular biologists reported (April 2007); "A mystery on which the new Nature paper sheds light is what causes different strains of prions (infectious proteins) in which the protein sequence is identical. Our research gives a strong hypothesis that the origin of prion strains is encoded in the packing of the molecules in the fibrils which we are seeing in the crystals.". They found that; Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, type II diabetes, the human version of mad cow disease and other degenerative diseases are more closely related at the molecular level. (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070430102021.htm).
In addition, see also my "opinion- articles"; about the link between BSE and Alzheimer´s disease (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/youropinions.php?opinionid=11677) and the link between the hyperfunction (neurodegenerative diseases; Alzheimer´s disease.) and the hypofunction of glutamatergic (NMDA receptor) neurons in schizophrenia (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/youropinions.php?opinionid=17968).
