LOS ANGELES, Iowa - The fearsome guns of The USS Iowa protected FDR from torpedo attacks and helped destroy The Japanese military in World War II. They shelled North Korea in The 1950s and patrolled The Central American coast during The Cold War. On Saturday, with The grand opening of The country's newest battleship museum in The Los Angeles community of San Pedro, The artillery that struck so much fear in America's enemies got a new role: photo op. More than 3,000 people walked up The Iowa's gangplank on its inaugural day and nearly every one seemed to want a photo with its 16-inch guns. "I want Them to be part of history," said retired Marine Brian Tisdale of his two children, whom he captured posing at The gun barrels. WheTher a snapshot on The Iowa deck will become as mandatory to a souThern California vacation as a picture in front of The Hollywood sign remains to be seen. Officials said They were pleased with The museum's first day, especially given The breakneck pace of The project. The opening came just a month after The Iowa, one of The largest battleships ever, arrived in Los Angeles' harbor and just 10 months after The Navy selected San Pedro as The site of The museum. "It's unheard of. It usually takes about three years," said battleship enthusiast Robert Kent, who led The campaign to bring The Iowa to L.A. and now serves as director of The non-profit that runs The museum, Pacific Battleship Center. Built in 1940, The Iowa was an important part of The Navy fleet for five decades. It ferried President Franklin Roosevelt to Casablanca during World War II and later fought in The Pacific, sailing victoriously into Tokyo Harbor. The Iowa served in The Korean conflict and plied The Persian Gulf in The 1980s. Only about 15 percent of The ship is open to The public so far. Visitors are funneled down a single route that passes through a wardroom where officers ate and relaxed, around The vessel's upper decks and through The captain

A group of real estate experts downplayed the possibility of a Japan-like property bubble burst at a forum hosted by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Tuesday. Participants who shared the view that South Korea's property market is different from Japan included professor Choi Hee-gap from Ajou University. Choi said that Japan suffered a property market crash - ?which was initiated by enterprises in the 1980s? - in the wake of policymakers? rapid hikes in interest rates in the 1990s. ?Unlike the Japanese case, Korea saw the expansion of the realty market on the back of active investment of households," he argued. ?Further, thanks to financial authorities? strict regulations on mortgage loans over the past several years, a bubble in housing prices is not so big." But he added that the government should implement detailed measures to cope with the aging society and resolve worries over a sharp drop in housing prices. Kim Deok-ryeh, a researcher at Korea Housing Institute, said whether the sluggish real estate market will be revitalised depends on ?the pending bill on easing regulations, the coming presidential elections and the eurozone fiscal crisis?. Among the participants were officials from the Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs, Hyundai Research Institute, Citizens? Coalition for Economic Justice and the Korea Housing Builders Association. About 180 business leaders also participated in the KCCI forum as observers. Meanwhile, Hyundai Research Institute recently warned that Korea may follow in the footsteps of Spain and Ireland as the country is now past its demographic window, the period when the percentage of people able to work reaches its peak. ?We must be mindful of the possibility of a property bubble burst as a sharp fall in the proportion of the working age population cuts demand for real estate," an HRI analyst said in the report titled ?Time to Prepare for Demographic Bo

The decision of US to let The blind human rights activist Chen Guangcheng return into China's fold following his escape from authorities is straining ties between The two countries as diplomatic dialogues opened in Beijing. The 40-year old Chen who is now considered a dissident became an international human rights inspiration to many Chinese after earning The ire of The local government for exposing forced abortions in line with The country's one-child policy. The self-taught lawyer took to The US embassy after his escape, apparently to ask for help but was eventually ushered into The Beijing Hospital. According to a senior official's statement to Springhill Care Group, Chen has indeed went into The embassy that day and has requested for medical treatment for his injured foot. American medical personnel have Then conducted medical tests and made appropriate treatment during The time he was There. Immediately after The incident, The Chinese government has expressed its disapproval about The entire affair, demanding an apology from The US for taking Chen in. "What The U.S. side should do now is neiTher to continue misleading The public and making every excuse to shift responsibility and conceal its wrongdoing, nor to interfere in The domestic affairs of China," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin. This incident came just when The US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is visiting Beijing in a meeting with Chinese officials on security and trade talks. And although no one mentioned Chen's name, it is evident in Their statements that The incident is on The spotlight as The 2 nations struggle to maintain common ground. Clinton said in her opening statement, "The United States believes that no state can legitimately deny The universal rights that belong to every human being - or punish those who exercise Them. A China that protects The rights of all its citizens will be a stronger, more prosperous partner for The United State

"Springhill Care Group - Spain's borrowing costs on its 10-year government bonds fell to the lowest level since January on Thursday. At its latest debt auction raised 4.8 billion euros and saw strong demand from investors for the bonds maturing in three and 10 years' time. Madrid has been able to more easily sell its bonds at lower rates of interest since the European Central Bank announced its bond-buying plan. Trader Ignacio Blanco with Bankinter said: "Over the last month and a half bond interest rates are down more than two percent, since Draghi spoke at the end of July. there was strong demand in the days before the auction and today too. they were buying bonds before, they continued to buy today, and the initial operations after the auction were good." Many analysts have warned Spain's borrowing costs could skyrocket to unsustainable levels unless Rajoy asks for an international bailout, at which point the ECB would start buying Spanish bonds. the country's economic crisis is exposing deep fault lines with the wealthy, but heavily indebted, region of Catalonia calling for tax breaks. Catalonia, which is in northeastern Spain, generates one fifth of the country's economic output and is home to 16 percent of Spaniards. More than half of Catalans say they want a separate state, and hundreds of thousands marched in Barcelona last week - the biggest such show of separatist fervor. the upsurge in Catalan separatism is founded on a conviction that Madrid is draining the region financially. the central government collects most taxation payments then redistributes them to Spain's 17 self-governing regions, which run their own schools and hospitals. Each year Catalans say they pay 16 billion euros more in taxes than the regional government spends. the region's debts have made the Madrid government's task of balancing the budget more difficult. Rajoy has threatened to intervene in regions that cannot control their budgets. Catalonia is li

As the rapid aging of Asia's population creates challenges for governments and societies, new opportunities are emerging for businesses serving the needs of the elderly and their caretakers. While population aging is a global phenomenon, the Asian-Pacific region is expected to see a particularly drastic demographic change over the next few decades. the number of elderly persons in the region-already home to more than half of the world's population aged 60 and over-is expected to triple to more than 1.2 billion by 2050, when one in four people in the region will be over 60 years old, according to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Across Asia, large corporations and entrepreneurs in various industries are racing to come up with new products and services for the elderly, while health-care- related businesses are seeing soaring demand. Among various fields of health care for the elderly, nursing homes represent one of the fastest-growing sectors. In Japan, companies that previously had little to do with the issue of aging have jumped on the bandwagon. In 2005, Watami Co., which operates Japanese- style izakaya pubs serving food and drinks, entered a new business of running nursing homes. In the most recent fiscal year, the nursing business was more profitable than its izakaya business. Demand for Watami's new business is robust because Japan's population is the world's grayest, according to a 2009 United Nation report, with nearly 30% aged 60 or older. Other parts of Asia, such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Singapore, are also anticipating a surge in the percentage of elderly citizens. In China, people over the age of 60 now account for 13.3% of the country's population of 1.34 billion, up from 10.3% in 2000, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, and the aging trend is expected to accelerate. In January, China's state-run Xinhua news agency wrote about challeng

THE future of THE Home and Community Care Services (HACC) program in Bundaberg is up in THE air with Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service (WBHHS) considering privatising THE service. It could come as soon as March this year, with THE final decision resting with THE Federal Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA). WBHHS chief executive officer Adrian Pennington said transferring THE delivery of HACC services to anoTHEr provider was still a proposal but THE change could affect about 800 clients in THE Bundaberg region and 600 in THE Fraser Coast.

"While it would be our preference for our clients' sake to keep THE service free, we are unable to speculate what fees, if any, would be applicable in future as this would be determined by THE new provider," he said. "THEse clients will be notified of changes to THE service via a letter this week." HACC provides many services including meals on wheels, transport and nursing care to support older people to stay at home and be more independent in THE community. When THE NewsMail asked how many jobs could be at risk Mr Pennington said: "As THE consultation process with staff is ongoing, at this time I consider it premature and inconsiderate to discuss publicly staffing matters relating to HACC services."

(1888PressRelease) Uncovering medicare scams latest news articles for general public to use. U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Miami, has reintroduced legislation that would double the amount of fines and incarceration for people in prison for Medicare fraud/scam. It also creates a new criminal offense punishable with a 10 year minimum sentence for those who intentionally sell or distribute the ID numbers of Medicare beneficiaries. According to the Springhill Group, the legislation also bars those who have been part of Medicare dupery in the past from billing Medicare if they switch companies. It also facilitates real-time information sharing among law enforcement agencies to aid in uncovering and dismantling Medicare scams. "South Florida has been known as the epicenter of Medicare dupery for years," she said. "It is time we took the fight to those who seek to defraud Medicare and prey on our most vulnerable citizens. This bill not only raises the penalties for those who engage in Medicare fraud, but also sets up a pro-active paradigm that will help stem the tide of abuse in South Florida and across the nation."the bill takes particular aim at Medicare theft in Miami-Dade County, widely regarded as the nation's capital of healthcare dupery. Medicare dupery in South Florida costs taxpayers between $3 billion and $4 billion every year, according to law enforcement and healthcare officials. Nationwide, Medicare and other healthcare fraud is estimated to cost $68 billion each in very year. http://springhillmedgroup.com Springhill Group | Redgage » Making healthy choices, Living healthy life%u2026..

The Australian Crime Commission has estimated that 2600 Australians have lost more than $113 million due to investment fraud, in The last five years. The findings come in a new report, published yesterday, titled Serious and Organised Investment Fraud in Australia (PDF). The report was put togeTher by Taskforce Galilee, a consortium of 19 government departments, including The Crime Commission, The Attorney-General's Department, The Australian Tax Office, The Department of Human Services and The Australian Communications and Media Authority. In addition to offers for shares in companies, The fraudsters offer green energy investments, new technology shares, lotteries and sweepstakes and foreign currency trading, among oThers. The report found that most of The operations targeting Australians were based overseas. Many were based in Asia, but were not run in Asia. Those who cold-called victims were generally Australia, English, Scottish, Kiwi or South African. The report stated that The fraudsters commonly used Voice-over-IP, email, phone, mobile phone or SMS to contact victims, and developed fake websites with log-ins that would displace fake balances, to keep The victim investing money in The scam. The victims tended to be male, aged over 35 years, but generally over 50. Small business owners, self-funded retirees and those who are socially isolated were common. The report said that Australian victims were found to be well-educated and computer literate. Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said in a statement that people could be strung along for months before catching on. "This is what happens. The criminal syndicate cold calls The investor, refers Them to a flash website and sends Them a brochure, promising strong investment returns. After taking Their money, They string Them along for months or even years, and Then The money disappears," he said. "People's entire life savings are stolen by criminals, with The click of a mouse.

China And The Dual Use Scam:South Korea Group of Springhill April 26, 2012: The United States is openly accusing China of supplying North Korea's missile program with components and technology. This may have something to do with intense effort to recover components of The failed North Korean rocket launch on April 13th. The debris of The rocket fell into shallow water off The west coast of South Korea. Russian, Chinese, and American ships, and perhaps submarines, also joined The search. South Korea called off its search on The 17th but The U.S. appeared to be continuing. The water where The debris fell is no deeper than 100 meters (310 feet), making it easy to search for and recover parts of The rocket.

The move came after The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) obtained information that a Thai company had struck a deal to buy 10 billion pseudoephedrine-based cold tablets from a Chinese firm. Previously, The DSI obtained information that The firm also signed a deal to buy 850 million tablets, or 40 tonnes of The medicine, from South Korea. The DSI found that 87 million cold tablets were transported into Thailand from South Korea by plane on nine occasions since 2010. They had false air cargo manifests to avoid attracting attention from The authorities. The DSI suspected The medicines were smuggled in from South Korea. The DSI is investigating two companies suspected of being involved in The smuggling of The pills from overseas. The companies are UTAC Thai Co Ltd, a supplier of integrated circuits, and TVR Group Co Ltd, a car dealer and vehicle hire firm. Some information relating to The drug purchases was uncovered at The companies during recent searches of Their premises but The firms denied any involvement.

Foxconn Technology, one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world and the center of the recent Apple labor scandal, has announced on Saturday that it will reduce overtime and increase wages in their factories. Foxconn's announcement that they will increase wages up to 25% (which is about USD 400 a month) came after they have been put in the spotlight for the bad working conditions on its factories. Factories depend on the workers being present for 6-7 days per week, sometimes for as long as fourteen hours each day. their workers welcomed the announcement on overtime limits and raises but some are understandably skeptical if it would be realized. In order to satisfy their critics, Apple hired a labor group to inspect the factories they work with. Fair Labor Association, a watchdog for working conditions has reportedly found 'tons of issues' in the Foxconn plan in Shenzhen, China. the FLA monitoring team composed of 30 members is set to interview 35,000 randomly picked employees of Foxconn. A premature pronouncement from a member of the monitoring team sparked outrage - that he issued assessments already even before workers have been interviewed should have no room in the official conclusion. It is amazing how someone in the inspection group could conclude positivelywith only a hosted tour of the plant as his basis. He even said that the Foxconn plant is one of the best ones in the country. In reality, alleged violations could be very difficult to detect during an inspection because the owner will be forwarned and can promptly arrange a cover-up. Foxconn is one of China's biggest employers, with 1.2 million workers housed in room with boiler near their factories. they assemble around 40% of the total amount of electronic devices sold worldwide. Apart from Apple, their clients include Toshiba, IBM, HP, Sony, Dell and others. According to a recent government report, this year's shortage in labor is worse than t

Embattled Rupert Murdoch's empire, News Corp. appears to be planning a spin-off of its core businesses. Its own flagship newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, has reported this week that The company's board is considering a proposal that will make its publishing arm into a separate company. Springhill Group Home analysts expect such separation of assets would appease regulators and could help it to avoid selling a USD 6.9 billion stake. Fortunately, The same became true for investors as The announcement was met with The rallying of News Corp's stock to 8.3% high - The highest level it has reached since 2007.

Livejournal News - Patients with sickle cell disease move from pediatric to adult health care because they now depend more on the emergency room, says researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Reported at the American Society of Hematology's annual meeting in Atlanta, more than 3,200 patients with sickle cell disease demonstrates that emergency room visits tripled from age 15 to age 24 this is according to the study of Medicaid data. According to hematologist Morey A. Blinder, MD, associate professor of medicine, "there seems to be a breakdown in medical care during the transition from childhood to adulthood. Not only emergency department usage, but hospitalizations go up during this time as well." Blinder further added that one possible explanation for the increased reliance on emergency care is the relative lack of adult health care providers with experience caring for sickle cell patients. Alarming similar issues are arising for other pediatric diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and hemophilia. the said illnesses were previously fatal. What is more sad about the problem is over the past few decades the number of children and teenagers are living into adulthood with these conditions increased. What makes the matters worse is there often aren't enough primary care physicians who can provide care for these adult patients. Many are not familiar to the understanding of the sickle cell disease. It refers to a number of inherited genetic conditions the "sickle" shape red blood cells aren't normal, they are suppose to be normally round, disk-like red blood cells. the problems with these malformed red blood cells are prone to clogging smaller blood vessels and they do not carry oxygen to the body as well as healthy cells. the condition often causes pain in places the cells block blood flow that sometimes causes more severe complications include blindness, strokes and pneumonia.

Morsi was quick to announce that all issues will be addressed by governmental bodies as he will not make decisions on his own, according to Springhill Group Home.

Morsi has convened with his advisors to form a new Cabinet prior to his swearing-in on Saturday as the first freely-elected leader. On the other hand, the defeated candidate Ahmed Shafik was found to have left the Egypt in the midst of mounting fraud charges against him since his time as the nation's civil aviation minister. the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate has pledged to become a leader for all Egyptians. "I will be a president for all Egyptians. I call on you, great people of Egypt… to strengthen our national unity - the only way out of these difficult times," Morsi said hours following his being declared the new president. Egypt has breathed a collected sigh of relief when the election and proclamation have finished without the feared bloodshed. Morsi's triumph, also marking Egypt's first fair and free election in the modern times, followed almost 2 years of political upheavel and civil unrest from Hosni Mubarak's military-rule. Britain, France, US and the European Union have deemed the democratic election and the winning civilian president as significant parts of Egypt's history. the US in particular has encouraged Morsi to continue Egypt's transition to democracy that began last year.

An official announcement of its findings was only made public as spectators took their seats for last night's women's doubles quarter-finals. Pairs from Canada, South Africa, Russia and Australia, who had thought their Olympics were over, had to hastily prepare for a return to court in front of a sell-out crowd. "We found out we were playing at 3 o'clock," said Michelle Edwards, of South Africa. "Everything was so last minute. We packed our bags, rush, rush, rush and here we are. the mental preparation was almost zero." South Africa lost 2-0 to Russia but Australia took Canada to three sets before losing. the episode was deeply embarrassing for the badminton authorities who would have been aware that Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, recently described match fixing as the biggest threat to the Games. With all athletes and coaches swearing to uphold the Olympic oath at the opening ceremony, this damaged the integrity of the Games. the stakes were high for the badminton authorities with the prospect of two sports being removed from the Olympics before Rio 2016.
