TV linked to asthma risk doubling

Some say children under three should not watch any TV Young children who spend more than two hours a day watching TV double their risk of developing asthma, a UK study has found. Rather than telly per se being to blame, experts believe the viewing is symptomatic of a sedentary lifestyle which may be the root cause. Taking deep breaths, such as when exercising, may keep the lungs fit. The study, published in Thorax journal, tracked the health of over 3,000 UK children from birth to 11. The parents were quizzed annually on symptoms of wheezing among their children and whether a doctor had diagnosed asthma. There may be a window in early in life when activity does something to protect the lungs Co-author Dr James Paton, from the University of Glasgow Parents were also asked to assess their children's TV viewing habits from the age of three-and-a-half years. All of the children were free of wheeze as babies and toddlers. At the age of eleven-and-a-half, 185 (6%) of the children had developed asthma. And children who watched TV for more than two hours a day were almost twice as likely to have been diagnosed with asthma as those who watched the telly less. However, the odds were still small - about two in 100. Of the children with asthma, 2% did not watch TV, 20% watched TV daily for less than an hour, 34% watched 1-2 hours a day and 44% watched more than two hours daily. Given that none of the children had wheeze at the age of three-and-a-half, it is unlikely that the children who went on to develop asthma had been forced to do less exercise from an early age because of asthma symptoms, say the researchers. They speculate that inactivity is the underlying explanation for their findings, if you assume that children who watch more TV lead less active lives - they did not directly monitor the children's exercise levels during the study. It is especially important that parents in the UK try to prise their kids away from the TV and encourage them to lead an active lifestyle Dr Elaine Vickers of Asthma UK And at the end of the study, when the children were 11.5 years old, there was little difference in the exercise levels of those with asthma and those without. Co-author Dr James Paton, from the University of Glasgow, said: "We think the problem is inactivity, not watching TV. TV is simply the best proxy marker for this. "There may be a window in early in life when activity does something to protect the lungs. "It may be that not sitting still makes you take deep breaths and that might be important in the long run." There is some evidence that breathing patterns may be important in regulating airway smooth muscle tone and how responsive this muscle is. Failure to stretch airway smooth muscle by taking regular deep breaths could lead to increased airway responsiveness, which is the problem in asthma. Dr Elaine Vickers of Asthma UK said: "The findings add to a wealth of evidence linking a lack of exercise and being overweight with an increased risk of asthma, but this study is the first to directly link sedentary behaviour at a very young age to a higher risk of asthma later in childhood. "We have one of the highest rates of childhood asthma in the world so it is especially important that parents in the UK try to prise their kids away from the TV and encourage them to lead an active lifestyle. This includes children with asthma, who can also greatly benefit from regular exercise." Some say children under three should not watch any TV in order to prevent health and learning problems. However, others argue that TV can be educational and may aid child speech.

[mukto-mona] Pakistan is security risk for America and the world than Afghanistan

Pakistan poses global security worry, says top US official Julian Borger in Kabul guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 4 March 2009 19.43 GMT Article history Link to this video The top US diplomat in Kabul warned ­yesterday that Pakistan posed a bigger security challenge to America and the world than Afghanistan, as Islamabad grappled with the latest terrorist attack on its soil and the escalating Taliban ­insurgency on its north-western border. Christopher Dell, who currently runs the US embassy in Kabul, was speaking in the aftermath of the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore and the news that Pakistani Taliban groups had formed a common front to attack Nato troops in Afghanistan, in what is widely expected to be a bloody and possibly ­decisive summer this year. "From where I sit [Pakistan] sure looks like it's going to be a bigger problem," Dell said in an interview in the heavily fortified US embassy in Kabul. "It is certainly one of those nuclear armed countries the instability of which is a bigger problem for the globe. "Pakistan is a bigger place, has a larger population, its nuclear-armed. It has certainly made radical Islam a part of its political life, and it now seems to be a deeply ingrained element of its political culture. It makes things there very hard." Fears over Pakistan's ability to cope with the rise of violent religious extremism were intensified by claims yesterday that police in Lahore had abandoned the Sri Lankan cricketers whom they were supposed to be protecting when gunmen opened fire on Tuesday. Surveillance ­footage showed three of the attackers walking down the middle of a street, apparently under no pressure. But Pakistani officials pointed out that six police officers died in the attack. Senior officials in the Foreign Office and the Obama administration have privately expressed concern that Pakistan could prove to be more of a danger to global peace and security in the long run than Afghanistan, because of its nuclear ­weapons and its highly politicised and Islamicised secret service, the Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI). Barack Obama is particularly alarmed at the decline in Pakistan's stability, and appointed a special envoy, Richard ­Holbrooke, to Afghanistan and Pakistan to coordinate diplomatic efforts. In a ­reflection of rising anxiety in Washington, Dell expressed those concerns openly. Dell, who is serving as the US chargé d'affaires in Kabul after a similarly outspoken stint as ambassador in Zimbabwe, said there were signs the rate of infiltration of insurgents across the frontier from Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal areas had increased in recent days. He said it was possible the increase was a result of ceasefire deals agreed by militants and the Pakistani government. "Every time the Pakistanis have signed a peace deal, two things happen," Dell said. "There is an uptick in the fighting on this [the Afghan] side, and the peace deals have fallen apart quickly. We think we've already seen an increase of fighters crossing the border." The epicentre of the problem is Pakistan's Federally-Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) which have become a ­stronghold for an array of jihadist groups including al-Qaida and various splinters of the Taliban. "Everybody says: 'We'll go into the Fata and clean out those nests'. Well, you know you could do that in theory. But you'd only create another problem with the backlash against the presence of American or other foreign soldiers," Dell said. "There are no easy solutions in Pakistan. There is no silver bullet out there that we're going to discover one day that will make the problem go away. I think for all those reasons it's a deep challenge, and yeah, probably harder than Afghanistan." The Guardian reported on Tuesday that three warlords in Fata had settled their differences, formed a group calling itself Shura Ittihad-ul Mujahideen, or Council of United Holy Warriors, and had agreed to focus their efforts on launching attacks in Afghanistan. Major General John MacDonald, the new deputy commander of US forces in Afghanistan, told the Guardian the insurgents were "most dangerous when they begin to collaborate with one another". "We think we have already seen an increase in the number of fighters coming across the border particularly in the Kunar area right opposite Bajaur," he added. He predicted that the coming surge in the number of coalition troops in Afghanistan would lead to an increase in fighting. About 17,000 more US troops are due to arrive in the country in the next few months, and between three and five thousand are expected to reinforce British forces in Helmand province. General MacDonald said those troops would be used to push into places hitherto considered no-go areas for Nato troops. "So yes, this summer you will see more violence," he said. "We're just about to kick a beehive."

[mukto-mona] Munshi Doctrine

Mr. Munshi is wrong because of the following facts.   FACTS:   1. After freeing Bengalis of East Pakistan from clutches of Punjabi Pakistan, Bangladeshis have not been ruled by India like they were ruled by Pakistan. 2. India did not control Bangladeshis like Pakistan had. 3. India did impose any Governors or rulers on Bangladeshis like Pakistan had imposed her Governors ruling East Pakistanis as their virtual slaves. 4. ISI has been trying to take ontrol of Bangladesh for decades, not India. 5. ISI has been caught supplying Arms and Ammunition to Bangladeshi Religious Extremists and India has not been caught doing the same in Bangladesh. 6. India has no designs to make Bangladesh or Pakistan a part of India because she does not want population of Moslims in India to increase so much that she ends up facing a new problem of a 3rd Political Power made up Moslims since they would be controling votes of populations like 170 (Pakistan) + 166 (Bangladesh) + 148 (Moslims in India) = 484 million out of 1,464 million population of that India having 1/3rd of Voting Power like they had before the partition. The Reason is, such a Politcal Party would always be in the government because none of the 2 Political Party of Hindus would ever get a majority.   CONCLUSION:   People spreading hate against India and love of Pakistan work for ISI and they are Enemies of Bangladesh, not friends.   --- On Wed, 3/4/09, SAIF Davdas <islam1234@msn.com> wrote: Mr.Abid Bahar> Rather than trying to disprove a remark—you are employing the philosophy of argumentum ad hominem.  I was only pointing out the unjustified, unproven, and vindictive assertions of Munshi. You are engaging in defending erroneous reasoning of Munshi by employing the fallacy of To Quoque. I think, you and Munshi will engage in fallacious reasoning to draw our forums attention away from the real issue. All I ask is, why an intellectual from Bangladesh, will not write against those forces, who have done great harms to one's motherland? Why be selective? You cleverly write, "Mr. Munshi doesn't necessarily have to deal specifically with Bangladesh's outstanding issues with Pakistan in his book the India Doctrine". That is great. But that was not my question to you or Munshi. My question to you was, 'Did Munshi, as an outstanding scholar of our time—spent even one-day to investigate Pakistani atrocities in any book or article? Both you and Munshi have written to me---employing the technique of obfuscation by subterfusion. I hope, somebody on this forum will clearly see, who is confused here and who is trying very hard to conceal the truth and true intentions from the public. SaifDavDas Mr. Davdas:   In the name of seeking truth, you are "dragging a smelly fish across a trail to draw a hunting dog off the scent." In this you seem to be either confused/lost or supporting the "Indi Razakar's" distractions. In working with the themes of India Doctrine, Mr. Munshi doesn't necessarily have to deal specifically with Bangladesh's outstanding issues with Pakistan. Mr. Munshi in his capacity as a respectable and an outstanding scholar of our time is a specialist and dealing with the more pressing issues dealing with India-Bangladesh relations.           Friends> A Certified India Hater--MBI Munshi—has started the creepy intellectual politics and the  worst elements within Bangladeshi body politic i.e., the Pakistan Lovers, are savoring the kill as pack of Hyennas do.  The ridiculous and completely unproven accusations, blatant shameless lie about India's involvement in the BDR massacre--proves beyond any reasonable doubt---your so-called unbiased intellectual honesty! If you possess incontrovertible proof of Indian involvement in BDR tragedy---forward it to us at Global Justice. I promise, I will take this up with the International Criminal Court at the Hague. Before you accuse me of being an India Lover--I would ask you to check my last 20 postings and you will see how brutally I attacked India and the Indians. Everybody on this forum knows, I am a seeker of Truth, and in my search, if I find Allah or Mohammed causing mischief---I hold them accountable. The bottom line on this is that you made some very serious accusations which you simply cannot back-up. You are disgraceful. You say, "Indians and Chinese are also member of Pakistani Defense Forum". So What? What does that prove? In America, we have Fox News. They have a Muslim, few Blacks, and couple of  Vietnamese on their payroll. By dint of your logic, Fox news is not anti-Muslim, anti-Black, or anti-Arab! You have thoroughly investigated Indian misdeeds in our part of the world. We appreciate your scholarly work . Remember Allah knows the intentions. You can lie to us. You can even lie to your God. But when you lie to yourself---Munshi you are finished.  Now, tell us, did you investigate the murder, rape, pillage and division of our assets with Pakistan? You spent 3 years investigating Indian mischief---Did you spend 1 day, on the life and death issue of Bangladesh's Share from the Pakistan--after our Independence??? Whole Nation is waiting for the closure of this issue---Did you ever write anything against the Pakistanis? Will you or your proxy's simply address this issue to our forums satisfaction?    SaifDevdas islam1234@msn.com To: mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com From: Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 13:03:33 +0000 Subject: [mukto-mona] Re:MBI Munshi and his Pakistan/ISI connection Mr. MBI Munshi, you are trying to make your connection with Pakistan Defense Forum very innocent one but it is not. You are not a general member of Pakistan Defense Forum. Pakistan Defiance Forum, which runs by ISI, puts your membership as SENIOR MEMBER. Your involvement and contribution been awarded with the title of a Brigadier Geeral. Why Mr. Munshi? What you have done so good to defend Pakistan defense and its intelligence unit ISI to award you with prestigious rank of Brigadier?  I truly think your contribution on defending Pakistan is extraordinary (LA JAWAB). In less then two years with this forum from March 8th of 2007 your contributed Total Posts stands to 2,364 (TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR), (MURHABA ZANAB) One can easily understand how much you care defending Pakistan and defaming its enemies which off course includes Bangladesh.  Your enlistment with Pakistan Defense will go into its second anniversary in SIX more days (March 8th of 2007 to March 8th of 2009). What will be your rank? Are they going to give you the rank of Major General or you will get double promotion and become Lieutenant General for your tireless contribution defend Pakistan defense? MY REPLY - I think I can now dispose of the absurdity of your claims. There are hundreds of Indian members of the Pakistan Defence Forum. India has fought 4 wars with Pakistan but not one of these Indians is accused of being an ISI agent or a sympathizer of Pakistan.  Why are these Indian able to represent India on PDF but not a Bangladeshi represent his country on the forum? Many of these Indian members have posted in excess of 6000 posts and have achieved rank of Lt. Gen. on the forum simply on the basis of their posts. The same rules apply to me. I have posted in excess of 2000 posts so I am ranked as Brigadier. There is no favoritism or special consideration here.  I think it exceedingly unfair that Indians can freely participate in this forum and criticize both Pakistan and Bangladesh but a Bangladeshi is unable to defend his country on the forum but is instead criticized for representing his national interest there. I think this shows the narrowness and unsoundness of your allegations.  As I have pointed out in my article `The BDR Mutiny – revenge for Padua and Boraibari" the attack on our soldiers in Pilkhana was an Indian operation and planned and executed by RAW. This is the issue that you are not facing but instead you are attacking me on frivolous and meaningless grounds to distract from intelligent discussion on the issues I have raised. The Indians have committed an atrocious and appalling act on Bangladesh and you still are able to defend them. This is a truly sad reflection on your integrity and state of mind.   Windows Live™ Contacts: Organize your contact list. Check it out. Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.

[mukto-mona] Statement of 23 Concerned Citizens from Bangladesh on BDR Mutiny

20 Falgun 1415/3 March 2009

 

Statement of 23 Concerned Citizens

 

We are deeply angered and saddened at the horrific killings that took place in Pilkhana on 25th February 2009. We express our deepest grief for the army officers, BDR habildar, subedar and jawans and their family members and the civilian casualties, the pedestrian, domestic worker, rickshaw puller and student. We hope that the countless people who were injured and are currently undergoing treatment, will recover soon.

 

It is not only the affected families who have lost their loved ones; the nation as a whole has suffered grave losses. While it is true that those who have died will not return, we sincerely hope that their family members will find the strength to withstand their losses, and for their wounds to heal. In trying times such as these, we must all work together to ensure that our struggle for democracy is not lost.

 

We think that the government's firmness in resolving the crisis through peaceful means made possible the prevention of further loss of life and bloodshed. The Prime Minister's well-thought out, firm yet compassionate speech helped defuse tension and ensure the surrender of arms by the rebel forces.

 

We think that the inclusion of the DG BDR and so many members of the armed forces in the reconstituted probe committee headed by Anisuzzaman Khan is bound to raise questions about its impartiality. The proceedings as well as the findings of the committee must be made public in order to ensure that its workings and recommendations are acceptable to all. We expect that the committee will inquire into the grievances of BDR and army personnel, that it will examine all allegations of corruption and disparity, and take necessary steps. We welcome the Home Ministry's announcement regarding the equalisation of food subsidies for officers and constables of the police force. We think that the same principle should apply to the BDR and the army.

 

Many members of the public are of the opinion that the evacuation orders on 26th February for people living within a three kilometre range of the BDR headquarters, made it possible for rebel jawans to join the ranks of fleeing civilians. This announcement not only caused untold misery for the area's inhabitants, it also helped to fuel rumours. We think that the confusion created over the number of missing army officers is most unfortunate. Official army sources should not make announcements based on speculation; this helped to aggravate resentment. The government must take steps to restore the public confidence in military intelligence, which has eroded as a result of this gross error.  

 

Despite tremendous pressure, the Home Minister, by not speculating on the missing numbers, has shown political wisdom and fortitude.

 

The political parties have now begun to blame each other, thereby helping to create an environment in which the truth may never be uncovered. We hope that for the sake of national unity they will refrain from making such statements and allow the investigation to proceed judiciously.. The need of the hour is for all to focus our energies on uncovering the truth, and ensure a fair trial and justice following an impartial investigation. We can not put at risk the democratic rule that has been achieved at a tremendous cost.

> Bangladeshi Economist Anu Muhammad saw the rebellion of BDR soldiers as a “class revolt though the cruelty in it was extreme”.
>
> “Discrimination was going on in the regimented forces for long and people had accepted it for sometime. But the situation began altering with the changes in society, as the soldiers in the forces were part of the society’s subaltern section,” he said.
>
> Playwright and cultural activist, Mamunur Rashid said “it was the most shocking event for the nation. What the Bangladesh Rifles members have done is not right although it was clear that the repression by officers reached an intolerable level. But I think the government has to go deep into the matter that led the soldiers commit such cruelty.”
>
> My personal analysis is the statement by both Anu Mahmud and Mamunur Rashid are designed in indirectly justifying the criminal actions by the mutineer BDR troops.
>
> In a television talk show, former military officer turned political leader General [Retired] C. R. Dutta said, “The BDR revolt is the outburst of their decade old accumulated anger.”
>
> Here again, General Dutta tried to defend the notoriety of BDR troops.
>
> Meanwhile, public sentiment is growing increasingly against the killing and atrocity by the mutineer BDR troops. No grievances can justify a mutiny and killings by a disciplined force anywhere in the world and those who murdered officers at the BDR headquarters should be tried under the laws of the country.
>
> The general sentiment of the people and defence personnel on Thursday turned strongly against the BDR mutineers as news and pictures of the brutal killings of army officers started to emerge in newspapers and on television channels. The bodies recovered from sewage system bore marks of utter brutality. The bodies were mutilated by gunshots and bayonet charges and ruthlessly dumped in the sewage system.
>
> Commenting on Prime Minister’s general amnesty to the mutineer troops, defense experts said, “It's globally common ethics not to support any mutiny or terrorist acts."
>
> "If there are grievances, there are many other civilised ways to express that. If mutiny is justified, it would then simply welcome terrorism. While amnesty may be acceptable for the general mutineers considering that there could be more bloodshed otherwise, those who committed the murders should be tried under the laws of the land. They cannot be pardoned.”
>
> Commenting on the mutinee, some said, the way the killings took place surely indicates that there was a hardcore element, which wanted to give the mutiny a worse shape. The group, their relationship and linkage should be brought into light through proper and professional non-partisan investigations. The government should look into the fact seriously.
>
> The rebellion by a section of soldiers against the officers at the Pilkhana head quarters of the Bangladesh Rifles in the capital Dhaka, which started Wednesday morning and continued late into Thursday afternoon, has put the country in a grave crisis. The members of the paramilitary BDR constantly guard our national borders in difficult situations while the members of the armed forces have been raised to defend our national territory as and when attacked; our nation-state badly needs these two forces to maintain healthy relations. After the revolt in BDR, entire bordering areas of Bangladesh are in extreme security lacking and there are reports of strengthening of security measures by our neighboring nations as well as deploying special commandos for unknown but assumable reason.
>
> Now, let me point to a number of extremely important but very crucial issues, which the government needs to address forthwith.
>
> When the notoriety inside BDR headquarters was continuing, although all the private television channels were covering the incident, state-owned Bangladesh Television was busy in broadcasting entertainment program, as if nothing happened in the country. Such senseless behavior of Bangladesh Television is not only a serious offense by its staffs but the information ministry itself. It may be mentioned here that the information secretary was just removed from his job only a week back for writing a notoriously abusive poem on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and members of his family. Bangladesh Television [BTV] is under the information ministry. Many believe that, BTV’s roles might have been intentional to put the government into questioned position.
>
> After dead bodies of army officers came out through the sewerage line at Kamrangirchar in Dhaka, their bodies were laid down on ground and members of law enforcing agencies called local people to load the bodies into trucks in a very dishonorable manner.. The law enforcing agencies should have used stretchers to honorably shift the bodies to the trucks. Secondly, none of the representatives of the government visited that spot right after recovery of the bodies. Bangladesh Television was again continuing its all entertainment and fun programs, thus not even showing a special scroll of condolence on its screen.
>
> The BDR mutiny was not a mere instant incident. No way! It is very well planned and well organized notoriety, where many kingpins are involved from behind the scene. It was also reported that on the previous night of the mutiny, leaflets were distributed amongst the troops of BDR. They even collected the red and yellow color mask and bandana much ahead of it. So, they were absolutely prepared for the revolt and murder of 146 army officers, in a planned way to create a vacuum right within our armed forces. Moreover, some of the mutineer soldiers were terming the Prime Minister as “Amader Netri” [Our leader]. To a soldier, how the PM turns into a leader? Moreover, most of the mutineer troops were appearing before the mass media without any musk, while they knew, their faces will be seen by the television viewers and others concerned. Were they already sure of any general amnesty, much before any government delegation met them?
>
> And, most interestingly, why the government decided to send Jahangir Kabir Nanak, MP and Mirza Azam, MP to Bangladesh Riffles headquarters as their first representative for negotiations? Why not any senior leader like Tofael Ahmed or Suranjit Sen Gupta. Or senior minister like Motia Chowdhury? Any special reason? Did these two leaders have some contact points already inside BDR?
>
> Bangladesh government must make necessary arrangements for burial of the killed officers with due respect and honor. They should be accorded the honor of national heroes. Moreover, the government definitely should identify the entire conspiracy behind such brutality. There should also be proper investigation on the cases of rapes inside the BDR headquarters during 30-hour mutiny. And finally, the government should do everything in stopping anti-army propaganda inside and outside Bangladesh by various elements.
>
> Armed forces are the guards of our sovereignty. They have been sacrificing lives since independence of this country. Many officers sacrificed their lives during the war of independence. Dignity and prestige of this institution should be upheld under any circumstance. There should not be any compromise in this regard!

[ALOCHONA] Murder of Army Officers – Wrong man chosen as IO

What is Hasina doing? Is she going out of her mind by putting questionable people on the investigation? May be she knows more than she is telling. She needs to make things clear otherwise she will be out of office soon.
