Sony tablets aim to stand out from crowd (AP)

NEW YORK ? Sony is revealing its first two tablet computers, with some features that aim to set them apart from the herd of iPad competitors.

The Tablet S, which is about the size of an iPad, can double as a universal remote control. The tablet is wedge-shaped, with one side thicker than the other. The shape mimics that of a magazine that's been folded over.

The Tablet P is small enough to fit in a purse and opens like a book to reveal two screens. It will be compatible with AT&T's cellular broadband network.

Sony Corp. says the Tablet S is going on sale immediately for $499 or $599, depending on how much memory is included. The Tablet P will go sale later this year at a price yet to be determined.

Autopsy planned for dead Yellowstone hiker (AP)

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. ? Investigators have been searching a swath of Yellowstone National Park by air and foot as they try to determine whether a man whose body was found on a backcountry trail was the victim of a grizzly bear attack.

Rangers and wildlife biologists hoping to find clues as to how the man died continued to comb a central portion of the park Saturday on foot. He was found a day earlier by two hikers on Mary Mountain Trail, which runs northeast of the iconic Old Faithful geyser.

Investigators found grizzly bear tracks and scat near the man, but were not immediately sure whether the grizzly caused the man's death or disturbed his body after he died.

"Bears are opportunistic when it comes to food sources," Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash said. "It's very clear that there was a bear around the victim's body. What we don't know is whether this was a bear attack, or whether the bear came upon this man's body after he died."

An aerial search of the area Saturday turned up no bear activity.

Authorities say the man likely died Wednesday or Thursday. Park officials did not plan to name the hiker ? a man in his 60s from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan ? until Sunday, pending family notification.

His death comes after a female bear attacked and killed a 57-year-old California man on the popular Wapiti Lake Trail, several miles away from where the Michigan man was discovered Friday.

The female bear that killed the California man was not killed because officials said the sow was only defending its cubs and had not threatened humans before.

An autopsy is planned for the Michigan man in Montana, outside the park.

Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk said that the hiker was found with a snack bar in his closed backpack, but that it appears the grizzly did not try to get at the food.

The 21-mile Mary Mountain Trail is closed from March to June because park managers list it as "high-density grizzly bear habitat."

Mary Mountain was closed after the man was discovered, along with the Cygnet Lakes Trail and a section of the Hayden Valley west of the Grand Loop Road.

Nash said that the Michigan hiker was staying in the park, but not camping off the Mary Mountain Trail. He was not carrying bear pepper spray, which is advised for hikers in the area, Nash said.

Nurofen Sabotage Exposes Lax Security, Loose Pills That Fuel the ...

The suspected spiking of packets of Nurofen Plus, a painkiller, with Seroquel XL and Neurontin ought to prompt an industry-wide investigation of security at pharmacies and drug wholesalers, the crime-infested ghettos of the pharmaceutical business. The sabotage is reminiscent of the Tylenol-cyanide murders of 1982 ? in which seven people were killed in Chicago after their medicine was spiked with poison ? one of the drug business?s darkest hours.

Drug companies are proud of the measures they take to ensure the safety of their products at their manufacturing facilities. But once those pills are sold on to wholesalers and pharmacy chains, they enter a gray-market world of shoddy repackagers, middlemen who are equally happy dealing with stolen product or legitimate supplies, and pharmacy chains who have historically tolerated drug dealers.

This dubious underbelly of the pharma business is one suspected source of the sabotage of Reckitt Benckiser (RB.L)?s ibuprofen product, Nurofen, in Britain. The company says ?sabotage? is suspected after ?rogue? blister packs of AstraZeneca (AZN)?s antipsychotic Seroquel and Pfizer (PFE)?s anti-seizure drug Neurontin were found inside boxes labelled Nurofen. Two patients ended up taking the wrong drugs from four packets sold from London pharmacies and one from Northern Ireland.

Crucially, the sabotage involved ?cut down blister? packs of Seroquel ? that is, blister packs of the Seroquel that had been cut smaller than their original manufacturing standard and fitted into the Nurofen boxes. Reckitt says:

The rogue Seroquel XL tablet cut-down blisters included parallel imported tablets (from two different PLPI companies) and originator product.

Cut-down blisters are common leftovers in pharmacies. When a patient?s prescription calls for eight tablets but the standard blister pack has 10, the pharmacist may snip off two pills from the end of the pack. The spare pills are then shipped back to a repackaging wholesaler who may then resell the product to another pharmacy. Alternatively, the pharmacy may keep the spare pills and add them to someone else?s scrip. Neither Reckitt, AZ nor Pfizer have any control over this process.

At Omnicare (OCR), a massive U.S.-based pharmacy benefit manager that specializes in supplying nursing homes, one whistleblower has alleged that workers were free to wander in and out of its repackaging facilities, the garage doors were frequently kept open, and its drug supply was completely cross-contaminated with penicillin.

The blame game

As Scotland Yard?s Specialist Crime Directorate, which tackles organized crime, investigates, Reckitt and AZ have moved quickly to suggest that the mixup did not occur in their facilities (and that by implication it must be the wholesalers or the pharmacies), even though police have not reached that decision yet. Reckitt?s statement said:

It is possible that these problems are linked to product consolidation and/or erroneous examination of returns.

Its PR agency added:

We are not ruling it out [sabotage at Reckitt] but we are considering other options as well. I think that is pretty unlikely.?

AZ said:

Manufacturing errors by Reckitt Benckiser and AstraZeneca are not considered to be part of the cause at this stage.

(And, for good measure, the Daily Mail blamed animal rights activists even though Nurofen is not tested on animals and the paper didn?t have a single named source offering any evidence for the accusation.)

The lot numbers on the packages and the locations in which they were dispensed will narrow down the locations through which the sabotaged packets travelled.

In the long run, however, whether the contamination occurred at the manufacturers, wholesalers, repackagers or the pharmacies is irrelevant. The Nurofen recall exposes the fact that pharmacies and repackers are rife with spare drugs from opened boxes, floating around in cut-down blisters. Until these companies get their ?loose pills? problem under control, the supply chain will not be safe from saboteurs.

On the other hand, if an industrial sector ? this sort of as manufacturing ? is thriving then more investments are pumped into it by capitalists or the govt, and then there is a marked boost in commercial constructions. These may variety from building of factories, malls, hospitals, motels or public utility structures these kinds of as airports, museums and libraries. This kind of jobs are typically undertaken by the state and are highly competitive from the viewpoint of the contractor. For Govt jobs auctions are executed or tenders are invited.

Nevertheless, it is not often as apparent-minimize as mentioned above. That boost in public shelling out prospects to springing up of housing jobs and boost in industrial shelling out leads to improvement of factories is not legitimate in all cases. As with business cycles, this is a wavering trend and it is dependent on the other sectors and important consequence areas of advancement of that state as properly. Now, in the case of recovery soon after a slump in the economy, as we have witnessed in the very last few months, men and women would start off to pursue their dreams of proudly owning a piece of residence, or launching a enterprise or even investing in genuine estate. The logic powering this previous option is that even though genuine estate investment calls for higher capital, the returns could be equally great. And the more appropriate consideration is that the cash industry has been flat for a long time now. For example, the Dow Jones index has revealed extremely number of signs to encourage investing in that line. In mild of these factors, a lot of private people as effectively as investors could determine to make investments in true estate and seem for home finance.

As of now, it can be securely stated that for investment, house finance prices are low at the moment. But if the recovery signs are sturdy adequate, the prices may not stay low for lengthy. Quickly, house loan charges will return to their normal highs. For that reason, this would be a excellent time to make investments in some residence. Personal owners might want to acquire a new property or refinance an existing mortgage. The most tangible cost savings would be noticed in the circumstance of commercial traders who trade concluded items from builders and promote them in the retail market place for a increased cost. Though this sequence demands that they have large liquidity, the shell out-offs and kickbacks are equally generous. Another benefit of getting the operator of house for the function of expense and industrial usage is that they can be located everywhere in the region ? one particular would nonetheless be reaping the rewards from them, whilst house bought for personal wants has to be in which one particular would favor to reside. If it transpires to be an location of high price of living, the dough has to be shelled out.

For the best finance premiums for home expense, one requirements to set in a good deal of analysis. Luckily, most details is now offered online. It is also probable to get quotes from banking institutions and lending organizations. A single has to apply to these solutions and right after obtaining them, it is needed to examine the terms and determine on the most feasible set of specifications suited to one?s special circumstance. These specifications rely to a large extend on the applicant?s credit score-worthiness and repayment capacity.

Stop Your Kid from Being a Bully by Encouraging Positive Self ...

Posted by staceyrobinson on August 25th, 2011

The only thing that?s worse than your kid being bullied in school is if he?s the one doing the bullying himself. When we talk about bullying, we tend to focus so much attention on bully?s victims that the bullies themselves need to be helped. Bullies pick on other kids that they deem to be weaker or inferior to because of their own insecurities and the sense of self empowerment that they get from asserting their superiority. As a parent, it?s your responsibility to curb your child?s bullying habits and help them get over their insecurities through more constructive methods.
The first thing you need to take a look at when you find out that your child is a bully is your home?s environment. If your child lives in a household where shouting, arguments, or any other form of physical or verbal violence is present, then that?s most likely one of the major reasons for your child acting out. To start teaching your child about positive self empowerment, you need to root out the causes at home ? especially if that cause happens to be you and your family. Set a good example for them by not behaving aggressively or raising your voice, and if your child has siblings, try to keep a closer eye on how they handle misunderstandings with each other as well.
Another aspect of your child?s life that needs to be looked at is his social life. Even children who live in homes that are peaceful and free of aggression can become bullies when faced with peer pressure or problems with friends and classmates. Make it a point to talk to their teachers or counsellors, and even the parents of your child?s friends to see what kind of influences and experiences they have outside of your home.
Naturally, you can?t guide your child along the path of self empowerment without talking to them about their bully tendencies. As much as possible, do not fight their aggression with even more aggression. Ask them what?s been bothering them, and convince them that bullying is wrong without antagonizing them too much. Find out what?s causing their insecurity and pushing them to demean other children, and encourage them to focus on the positive aspects of their personality and their talents. Reassure them that there?s nothing for them to be insecure about, and that you?ll always be there to support them or lend a helping hand when they need it.
Remember: although self empowerment needs to come from within, it?s your job as a parent to steer your child in the right direction. The key to doing that is to stay up-to-date with the goings on in your child?s life, and to keep reassuring them that you?ll always be there for them no matter what.

For more advice on boosting your child?s self esteem and helping them learn the importance of positive self empowerment, take a look at what Tony Robbins has to say!

Wall Street higher as investors look to data

Wall Street moved higher at Tuesday?s opening bell, adding to the prior session?s gains, as investors looked ahead to new data for clues about the state of the economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average was lately up about 125 points.

In economic news, new U.S. single-family home sales fell more than expected in July to hit a five month low, new data show, as 2011 shapes up to be worst year on record for the market.

The Commerce Department said on Tuesday sales slipped 0.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted 298,000-unit annual rate, the lowest since February. June's sales pace was revised down to 300,000 units from the previously reported 312,000 units.

Story: New-home sales fell to five-month low in July

Reports on manufacturing in Europe and China boosted sentiment Tuesday. And many investors are hoping Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will announce some kind of assistance Friday for the flagging U.S. economy.

UBS AG is up 4 percent, after the Swiss bank said it planned on cutting 3,500 jobs worldwide in the hope of saving $2.5 billion by the end of next year. UBS's stock has dropped 20 percent this year.

Goldman Sachs is up 1 percent. The bank's stock fell sharply late Monday following news that its CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, hired a prominent defense lawyer. The Justice Department is looking into Goldman's actions leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.

H.J. Heinz Co. fell 1 percent after the world's largest ketchup maker said profits fell 6 percent in the most recent quarter. Heinz lowered its earnings estimate for the year.

Major indexes eked out minor gains Monday following a four-week losing streak. The S&P 500 index has dropped 16 percent since July 22 and 13 percent this month. The broad market measure is on track for its worst August since the Asian financial crisis rattled markets in 1998.

Text search tool for electronic medical records shows promise for identifying postoperative complications

ScienceDaily (Aug. 23, 2011) ? Use of natural language processing, such as in the form of free-text searches of electronic medical records (EMRs) of clinical and progress notes of patients performed better at identifying postoperative surgical complications than the commonly used administrative data codes in EMRs, according to a study in the August 24/31 issue of JAMA.

To improve on identifying patient safety concerns, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality developed a set of 20 measures, known as the patient safety indicators, which use administrative data to screen for potential adverse events that occur during hospitalization, according to background information in the article. "Currently most automated methods to identify patient safety occurrences rely on administrative data codes; however, free-text searches of electronic medical records could represent an additional surveillance approach," the authors write. "The development of automated approaches, such as natural language processing, that extract specific medical concepts from textual medical documents that do not rely on discharge codes offers a powerful alternative to either unreliable administrative data or labor-intensive, expensive manual chart reviews. Nevertheless, there have been few studies investigating natural language processing tools for the detection of adverse events. It is not known whether a surveillance approach based on language processing searches of free-text documents will perform better than currently used tools based on administrative data."

Harvey J. Murff, M.D., M.P.H., of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., and colleagues conducted a study to evaluate a language processing-based approach to identify postoperative complications within a multi-hospital health care network using the same EMR. The study included 2,974 patients (median [midpoint] age, 64.5 years; 95 percent men) undergoing inpatient surgical procedures at 6 Veterans Health Administration (VHA) medical centers from 1999 to 2006. Among the outcomes measured were postoperative occurrences of acute renal failure requiring dialysis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, pneumonia, or heart attack identified through medical record review as part of the VA Surgical Quality Improvement Program. The researchers determined the sensitivity and specificity of the natural language processing approach to identify these complications and compared its performance with patient safety indicators that use discharge coding information.

Within each analytic sample the percentage of postoperative acute renal failure requiring dialysis was 2 percent (39 of 1,924); for pulmonary embolism, 0.7 percent (18 of 2,327); for deep vein thrombosis, 1 percent (29 of 2,327); for sepsis, 7 percent (61 of 866); for pneumonia, 16 percent (222 of 1,405), and for heart attack, 2 percent (35 of 1,822). The researchers found that in general, using a natural language processing-based approach had higher sensitivities and lower specificities than did the patient safety indicator. "The increase in sensitivity of the natural language processing-based approach compared with the patient safety indicator was more than 2-fold for acute renal failure and sepsis and over 12-fold for pneumonia. Specificities were 4 percent to 7 percent higher with the patient safety indicator method than the natural language processing approach."

"Natural language processing correctly identified 82 percent of acute renal failure cases compared with 38 percent for patient safety indicators. Similar results were obtained for venous thromboembolism (59 percent vs. 46 percent), pneumonia (64 percent vs. 5 percent), sepsis (89 percent vs. 34 percent), and postoperative myocardial infarction (91 percent vs. 89 percent). Both natural language processing and patient safety indicators were highly specific for these diagnoses."

The authors suggest that a natural language processing-based approach offers several potential advantages over administrative-code based strategies to identify health care quality concerns. "First is the flexibility of the approach to meet the individual institutional needs. Once documents have been processed, different approaches and query strategies to identify a specific outcome can be implemented at a relatively low programming effort using standard database query applications. Second, as opposed to administrative codes, search strategies using daily progress notes, microbiology reports, or imaging reports could be monitored on a prospective basis. Thus, this approach could potentially identify complications while a patient is still in the hospital, which could greatly facilitate real-time quality assurance processes. ? Finally, in systems with highly integrated EMRs, prospective surveillance could be extended to the outpatient setting for individuals remaining with the health care system."

Editorial: The Promise of Electronic Records -- Around the Corner or Down the Road?

Ashish K. Jha, M.D., M.P.H., of the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, writes in an accompanying editorial that "although the promise of natural language process is substantial, its benefits will not be realized without considerable new investment in research and development."

"Murff and colleagues focused on one specific application of identifying adverse events after surgery. Dozens of permutations and combinations of syntax were tested and customized to identify the optimal strategy for finding complications in an electronic health record (EHR). To realize the benefits of natural language process, this kind of research will need further development not only to find better algorithms but also to investigate EHR analysis for disciplines other than surgery and optimize automated EHR searches for different types of clinicians. Although there are private-sector companies capitalizing on the benefits of natural language process to help clinicians and organizations improve care delivery, the federal government can play a helpful role by funding the basic research needed lo launch this field forward."

U.S. bank earnings up, FDIC questions for how long (Reuters)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? U.S. bank earnings continue to increase but the prospects for earnings growth are dimming as banks are having trouble boosting revenue.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp said on Tuesday that the industry earned $28.8 billion in the second quarter, a $7.9 billion increase from a year before.

That number is down slightly from the $28.9 billion in earnings recorded during the first quarter.

The agency again warned that earnings increases are mostly due to banks setting aside less to guard against losses from bad loans.

"As the levels of loss provisions approach their historic norms, the prospects of earnings improvement from further reductions in provisions diminish," FDIC Acting Chairman Martin Gruenberg said at a news conference on the release of the agency's quarterly banking report.

The industry set aside $19 billion during the second quarter to guard against losses, which is 53 percent less than a year ago, according to the FDIC.

Bank revenues continue to fall.

During the second quarter net operating revenues fell $3 billion, or 1.8 percent, from the levels recorded a year ago, the agency said.

In a positive sign for the industry, bank loan balances grew during the second quarter for the first time in three years, up $64.4 billion, or 0.9 percent.

Gruenberg highlighted the increase but added a note of caution.

"A significant portion of the overall growth in loans represented intra-company lending between related banks," he said. "Lending activity still has a long way to go before it approaches more normal levels."

The report covers the 7,513 banks for which the FDIC provides deposit insurance.

An official with the American Bankers Association said the quarterly report shows the banking industry is strong and that robust loan growth will come when the overall economy improves.

"Loan demand is still extraordinarily weak and the uncertainty that has been created by the last several months has frozen business decisions," said Jim Chessen, chief economist at the ABA.

The KBW Bank Index (.BKX) of stocks is down about 33 percent this year as investors fear a sputtering U.S. economic recovery and contagion from the European debt crisis.

Shares in Bank of America, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, have lost more than 50 percent of their value this year. Its shares were down as much as 6.4 percent on Tuesday due to concerns about possible write-offs and capital raises.

SOME BRIGHT SPOTS

There was evidence in the report of how the industry continues to recover from the doldrums of the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

The number of banks on the agency's "problem list" fell for the first time in 19 quarters, dropping to 865 in the second quarter from 888 in the first quarter. There have been 68 bank failures so far this year, mainly small institutions.

The deposit insurance fund that the FDIC uses to cover the cost of failed banks moved into positive territory for the first time in two years.

At the end of the second quarter, the fund stood at positive $3.9 billion, improving on a negative $1 billion at the end of the first quarter.

The amount of deposits being held at banks grew, according to the FDIC report, as skittish investors seek a safe place to park their funds.

The FDIC said that deposits grew by $234.4 billion, or 2.9 percent, during the second quarter. That number is likely to stay elevated during the third quarter given the market volatility in recent months.

"Money would not be flowing there if the public did not believe the industry was strong and the FDIC is strong," Chessen said.

BOMA San Francisco Government Affairs & Industry News for ...

BOMA San Francisco Members:

UPDATE - August 20, 2011

Here are some recommendations moving forward as part of a regulatory proceeding at the California Energy Commission:

  • ?Mandate all commercial new construction be Zero Net Energy (ZNE) by 2030. ZNE means that over a year that your building generates as much energy onsite as it pulls from the grid;
  • Have the CEC use fines and penalties to enforce energy code at the state level;
  • Use a ?societal value? to calculate cost effectiveness for Zero Net Energy. In other words, change the current objective cost calculations required to pass energy code and add in a ?subjective? component that will allow mandates for technology that will not pay for itself;
  • Develop ?reach? standards (as opposed to incremental ?reachable? standards) for adoption at the local level and be included into CALGreen;
  • Increase Title 24 requirements by jumps of 20-30% each adoption over the next three cycles;
  • Require public building rating disclosures;
  • Require energy efficiency improvements in existing buildings not tied to a scheduled improvement;
  • Mandate a time-of-sale or time period trigger for upgrades and disclosures;
  • Shift responsibility on to building owners and managers for reducing tenant plug-loads.
This is happening now in a regulatory process. ?Please click below to read the recommendations:

Saving Energy in Existing Buildings and Achieving a Zero?Net?Energy Future

Contact us at kenc@boma.com or johnb@boma.com if you have any thoughts or opinions on how this might impact your business or to get more involved in the public process.

UPDATE?- May 24, 2011

The Public Utilities Commission will conduct a public workshop on June 15 to discuss California?s policy goals relative to achieving Zero Net Energy (ZNE) in all new commercial buildings by 2030. While there is still debate over the definition of ZNE, at a minimum this policy goal will require almost all of a building?s energy supply to come from on-site sources. In addition to cost concerns, there are also serious physical design constraints which must be addressed, as was shown by a recent technical report commissioned by?BOMA California.

That report analysis showed that a very energy-efficient 15-story commercial building in Oakland would still need nine acres of solar panels to cover its annual energy needs under such a policy. If that building were to use every inch of rooftop space for solar, that energy system would only generate enough power to cover 4% of the needed power supply.

We support the state working towards the goal of ZNE, but caution against adopting ?stretch goal? mandates that knowingly cannot be reached. We are working with the state to consider other strategies in addition to ZNE, such as carbon-neutral buildings and neighborhoods, and increasing the overall supply of renewable energy at the source.

The workshop is scheduled for June 15 in San Francisco.?Click here?to read the state ZNE Action Plan, designed to identify the key actions required to achieve plan milestones, secure leaders for the steps to achieve these actions, and track and report on progress against the plan.

-------------------

Original Post - April 16, 2010

Please click?here?to read the?California Long Term Energy?Efficiency?Strategic Plan--the commercial section starts on page 35--regarding Zero Net Energy (ZNE) use by new and existing buildings in California, and when such an energy standard should go into effect. ?The Strategic Plan provides the necessary background information on ZNE and?articulates the?California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC)?long-term energy efficiency goals for each economic sector and identifies?specific strategies to assist in achieving those goals.

Our BOMA California staff is working on the ZNE issue with the CPUC but they need to hear from BOMA San Francisco members as to what they think of?GOAL 1: all new developments to be zero net energy users by 2030; and?GOAL 2: half of existing buildings must be retrofitted to be zero net energy users by 2030.

BOMA California is also seeking a better clarification on the?California Energy Commission's?definition of ZNE, because, as it now stands, it would mean onsite energy production. If we can broaden the definition to include off-site clean energy such as solar, wind, hydro, biomass, etc., it might become a lot more palatable and achievable for the BOMA San Francisco membership to accomplish.

Please email Ken Cleaveland, BOMA San Francisco's Director of Government and Public Affairs, with your thoughts at kenc@boma.com.

Mittal Champions Trust targets glory at London 2012 Olympics | Day ...

Mittal Champions Trust targets glory at London 2012 Olympics

With less than a year to go for the Olympics, Mittal Champions Trust (MCT) is set to spend Rs 18 crore on the training of athletes associated with it to enhance their medal prospects.

?When we started in 2005, we earmarked Rs 40 crores to be spent until the London Olympics in 2012. We reserved a major chunk of our budget to invest in the last two years. This year till December we will be spending Rs 10 crores and another 7-8 crores till August when Olympics get underway,? Manisha Malhotra, CEO of the Trust, told PTI in an interview here.

?Rs 40 crore have been earmarked to provide the chosen athletes in our fold with the highest quality of training available for their sport. The ultimate aim of the Trust is to improve the performance of India at the major global sporting events with prime focus on London Olympics,? she added.

The MCT had helped Indian athletes during the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, followed by the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Asian Games.

?Our aim is to give the athletes whatever they would need to succeed on the Olympic stage and win medals for the nation,? said Malhotra, a former tennis player.

The MCT has had noteworthy success since its inception with its athletes winning eight Asian Games medals and an Olympic Gold in the form of shooting star Abhinav Bindra.

MCT presently endorses five Olympic sports: Archery, Wrestling, Shooting, Athletics and Boxing.

With stars such as Bindra, Ronjon Sodhi, Mangal Singh Champia, Yogeshwar Dutt, Mausam Khatri, Akhil Kumar and Jitendra Kumar already in its fold, the MCT does not intend to have any new signings before the London Olympics.

?At present, our only focus is to win medals at the Olympics. Wrestler Yogeshwar will soon be leaving for Siberia, Ronjon is leaving for Italy tomorrow, archers will visit South Korea, discus thrower Seema Antil also be visiting Los Angeles for the international exposure.

?So we are doing our best to actively monitor the progress of our athletes,? she said.

?For boxers, we will soon be bringing in a physio and mental conditioning trainer. For shooters, we will have a physio. So we hope to bring the nation even higher glory than the Beijing Olympics,? added Manisha, who represented India at 2000 Sydney Olympics and won a Silver medal at 2002 Asian Games.

Asked about country?s top athletes getting caught in the doping menace, she said, ?Indian athletes have no idea what they are taking, and work solely on trust. Even if their coaches give them some banned substance and tell them it is good for them, they will blindly take it.?

?Athletes should now start questioning the coaches and trainers that what supplements are they having and whether they come under the list of banned substances or not. They shouldn?t be taking anything blindly.?
