[unable to retrieve full-text content]HealthDay - MONDAY, Feb. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Prescription sleeping pills may help you get some much needed rest at night, but using them routinely might also make it more likely that you will die or develop certain types of cancer, research suggests.
Despite being freely prescribed across the US, a new study shows that sleeping tablets increase the risk of death for those taking them—and are associated with up to 500,000 extra fatalities a year in the US alone. And nobody knows why. More »

Mathematicians from National University of Singapore and Nanjing University uncover a new mathematical method by challenging age-old assumptions of renowned mathematicians T. Aubin, A. Chang, and P. Yang
Mathematically, is it possible to continuously deform a rough sphere into a perfect sphere? Under what situations can we solve the differential equations?
Professor Xu Xingwang of the Department of Mathematics at National University of Singapore (NUS), along with Dr Chen Xuezhang from Nanjing University of China, has established a new method to tackle this long-standing problem.
What it used to be
Of the various different ways to measure the roughness of the sphere, the scalar curvature measurement has proven to be the weakest one, resulting in a problem commonly known mathematically as the prescribing scalar curvature problem.
The prescribing scalar curvature problem has been an issue for mathematicians for more than half a century. Many great mathematicians have in fact made crucial contributions to it over time, converting the prevalent mathematical problem into the uncovering of a positive solution of elliptic type partial differential equations.
Such equation demonstrates invariance under a non-compact group; a bubbling phenomenon (i.e. a very sharp needle) can occur. Among many mathematicians, it is known that these two difficulties can only surface in particular manifolds, namely, the prefect sphere case.
In the seventies, French mathematician, T. Aubin, proved an interesting result. He found that if the rough sphere is relatively flat, up to some second lowest tone, it can be deformed to the prefect sphere without changing its angle measure.
In the early nineties, A. Chang and P. Yang, both professors of Princeton University, revisited the mathematical problem and found that if the rough sphere is sufficiently close to the prefect sphere and has no degenerative sharp needle with extra technical assumptions, the deformation is possible. Their argument was made based on the perturbation method and the calculus of variation.
In the recent 10 years, the most significant mathematical achievement is the re-confirmation of the famous Poincare conjecture. Among mathematicians, it is known that the proof is through the powerful Hamilton's Ricci flow, which was introduced nearly 30 years ago. The success in the Poincare conjecture motivated many to re-examine the Ricci flow and apply it to other important mathematical problems.
New mathematical method
On revisiting the age-old problem, Prof Xu and Dr Chen adapted the Hamilton's Ricci flow method to the prescribing scalar curvature problem.
Prof Xu said: "We obtained in a sense the best possible conclusion under the same assumption as the one made by Aubin and Chang-Yang. Basically, we demonstrated that with Aubin's relative flatness assumption plus Chang-Yang's topological assumptions, the problem is solvable. The important observation made in this work is that the relative flatness offered by Aubin is in fact to ensure that the flow can have only one sharp needle, which in turn makes the blow-up analysis much easier."
Developing a new method attached to the older problem with the same assumptions as what have been done, they came up with a stronger conclusion.
Another tool used in their work was the infinitely dimensional Morse theory. As the theory is well-known, the team found that the challenge was to control the energy level; after all the global existence depends on the initial energy level.
They reported their findings in their paper entitled 'The scalar curvature flow on S^n perturbation theorem revisited', which was published this February in Inventiones, one of the most prestigious journals in the mathematical community.

A satellite tv for pc phone is comparable to a telephone gadget, which directs signals to be able to satellite that are then given to PSTN (Public Changed Telephone Network) or other interaction networks. In other words, it is a mobile phone that uses revolving about satellites like a medium of communication in lieu of using terrestrial mobile towers. The particular satellite mobile coverage can easily cover whole earth or possibly a specific region satellite phone.
The mobile equipment employed in this create is also known as a Sat telephone. These phones used to have retractable antennas within older days but the most up-to-date phones are like mobiles mobile phones and have inner antennas.
Three several types of satellite techniques are used within satellite interaction. They fluctuate according to the type of orbit they follow throughout the earth which enable it to be classified as follows:
Geo-stationary geostationary satellites: These types of geostationary satellites are placed 25,000 miles above the equator. These kinds of satellites complete one emerging trend around the earth in One day and stay in fixed area above the global surface. Just one geo-stationary satellite handles 40 percent of earth?s region, whereas a series of satellites are required to cover the whole surface of the earth.
Low-earth-orbit satellites: These kind of satellites they fit a few 100 miles above the earth at a stationary elevation. They complete one emerging trend around the earth within 1 hour 30 minutes. The interaction system is set up in a way that no less than one satellite is within line of picture at any given time at any specific stage on the earth.
Satellite television orbiting within Elliptical pattern: These types of geostationary satellites move fast around the earth when they are put at a decrease altitude, but move slowly when placed at a higher elevation satellite phones.
Limitations of Satellite Telephones:Satellite mobile phones work well only when there is a obvious line of perspective between the heavens and its aerial. They don?t operate properly if you find frequent obstruction between the telephone device and the satellite. Hills, trees, buildings and other interferences can behave as a obstacle in their on the web connectivity. Therefore they do not operate properly when used inside.
Area of Employ: Satellite mobile phones are used broadly in recovery and relief operations. Explorers and outdoorsmen rely on these to to communicate within areas where land lines or cell phone mobile phone services are not offered. Reporters furthermore heavily be determined by sat mobile phones to post breaking news coming from remote tremendous mountain regions for example those in Afghanistan while others parts of the planet. Also, folks traveling on the Caribbean vacation cruise can get in touch with their families using these phones.

ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan (AP) ? Pakistan was more than halfway done Sunday demolishing the three-story compound where Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. commandos last May, erasing a concrete reminder of a painful and embarrassing chapter in the country's history.
Rings of police kept spectators and journalists away from the compound, which the government began tearing down Saturday night under powerful floodlights without providing prior notice. Three mechanized backhoes ripped into the building, according to an Associated Press reporter who was able to get close enough to see the work.
Pakistan was outraged by the covert American raid in the northwestern town of Abbottabad because it was not told about it beforehand ? a decision the U.S. explained was driven by concerns that someone in the government might tip off bin Laden.
The terror leader's death was cheered across the globe, but many Pakistanis were angry that the U.S. violated its territory and that its troops were powerless to stop American soldiers from attacking a compound located next to the country's elite military academy.
The backhoes ? heavy machines with strong crane-like digging arms ? have torn down the tall boundary walls around bin Laden's compound and have destroyed more than half of the main building, where the al-Qaida chief lived for years with his wives and children.
Army soldiers who were guarding the compound Saturday night handed authority over to the police in the morning and left. Work continued Sunday morning but paused around midday so that large trucks could carry away the debris.
Pakistani officials have declined to say why they decided to begin demolition.
Residents of the normally sleepy town of Abbottabad were divided on what the government should do with the compound in the aftermath of the raid. Some thought it should be destroyed, but others believed it should be turned into a tourist attraction to help the town earn money. There was always the danger, however, that it could also draw al-Qaida supporters.
American officials said they buried bin Laden's body at sea to avoid giving his followers a burial place that could become a makeshift shrine.
Many U.S. officials expressed disbelief that bin Laden could have lived in Abbottabad for around six years without the Pakistani government knowing. But the U.S. has not found any evidence that senior Pakistani officials knew of the al-Qaida chief's whereabouts.
The U.S. Navy SEALs who attacked bin Laden's compound on May 2 infiltrated by helicopter from neighboring Afghanistan. The raid, which lasted around 40 minutes, was a serious blow to the already troubled U.S.-Pakistan relationship.
Pakistan responded by kicking out more than 100 U.S. troops training Pakistanis in counterterrorism operations and reduced the level of intelligence cooperation.
Some members of Congress called on the U.S. to cut of the billions of dollars of military and civilian aid to Pakistan unless Islamabad explained bin Laden's presence in Abbottabad and boosted cooperation on the Afghan war. The aid has continued, although at a somewhat lower level.

Buying private health insurance can be both time consuming and frustrating if you don?t know where to start. For those who have been on a group health insurance plan for years, the sticker price of buying private health insurance on your own can be quite shocking.
To find the best health insurance rates you can enter your ZIP code into the FREE search box and get the most up to date information!
According to the California Department of Insurance when an individual applies for private health insurance the company uses underwriting when deciding the monthly costs of the health plan. They look at age, sex and health history to find a price range for clients.
What mistakes do people make?
When people are shopping around for private health insurance there are some very common mistakes that are made. A big one is when a person signs on with an insurance company and their family practitioner is not in their network. Most private health insurance plans have a network of preferred providers. People can seek out medical treatment within this network of providers; if they use someone outside of the network either the insurance company won?t pay any of the costs or will only pay a percentage of the costs.
For those who use prescription medication it?s important to make sure you are covered when you pick up a new private health insurance plan. Many will make the mistake of committing to a plan without checking to see if their prescription drugs are covered. This can be a very costly mistake for those who need coverage on prescriptions.
In some states health insurance companies do not have to cover maternity costs. When you?re expecting you usually don?t think about the large amounts of money you?ll have to pay before, during and after the baby comes. The burden of the costs is usually much lower if you have maternity health insurance to cover part of it.
Many times people who purchase private health insurance are seeking out supplemental health insurance. Supplemental health insurance is usually bought to fill in any gaps that the individual?s primary health insurance doesn?t cover. However, you may be overinsured and have more than what you need for coverage.
Many people will pay a larger monthly premium in order to not have a large copayment. This can be a mistake depending on the person. You may be paying out more in the long run with your premium payments than you would for a larger copayment.
You can always find great private health insurance to buy with the right information.
Ways to Lower Your Premium Payments
If you are a smoker it may be time to quit the habit. Those who are not smokers are able to get lower health insurance premiums than those who light up. The reduced rate is a significant decrease for those who decide to quit smoking.
Staying healthy is another excellent way to help lower your premium rates for private health insurance. When you apply for a plan the underwriters take everything into consideration. This includes your weight, blood pressure and cholesterol. If you are in good health it will positively affect your premium rate.
For those who want to reduce their monthly premium another great way to do so is by increasing your deductible. Studies have shown that those who have a lower deductible are more likely to use their insurance. Health insurance companies compensate for this by increasing the monthly premium of policies.
Choose the professionals that are within your health insurance network. The network is there to help cover the costs of medical care. If you go outside the network than you?ll most likely have to pay all or most of the medical care bills. Sports or hobbies such as skydiving, race car driving, and mountain climbing will increase your monthly premiums significantly.
What about past health problems?
Again, underwriters look at everything when considering a premium rate for private health insurance. Health history is another big one. There are some red flags that could hurt your health insurance premium if they show up in your health history.
Preexisting health conditions are a big red flag. According to the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance? a preexisting health condition is a medically present condition that was on a person?s health history before they were covered by insurance. Mild depression, breast implants, allergies and even ear infections can cause an increase in the premium rates. Even if you?ve been without symptoms, stroke or Lyme disease in your health history can also affect your premium rate.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) ? A small Ukrainian nationalist party came under fire Wednesday after a high-profile member suggested a singer of African descent was a bad choice to represent the country in the Eurovision song contest.
Pop star Gaitana, 32, who was born in Kiev to a Congolese father and Ukrainian mother, was chosen last week to represent Ukraine at this year's Eurovision contest in May in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Gaitana, known for a strong voice and seductive outfits, will represent Ukraine with the English-language hit "Be My Guest."
Yuri Sirotyuk, of the political party Svoboda, told the New Region agency on Monday that Gaitana was a bad choice because she was not authentically Ukrainian.
"Yes, Gaitana sings well, but she does not represent our culture," Sirotyuk was quoted as saying. "Eurovision must be a show of national talents."
"It looks like we don't want to show our face and Ukraine will be associated with a different continent, somewhere in Africa."
Svoboda is not represented in parliament, but has been gaining popularity recently.
Gaitana strongly condemned Sirotyuk's statement, saying it tarnishes Ukraine.
"I am very much ashamed for such racist statements, because they destroy Ukraine's reputation in front of the whole world," Gaitana told reporters. "We are doing everything we can so that Ukraine becomes a part of the European family, a part of the world, so that nobody would be afraid to come here and have children here."
Hanna Herman, an adviser to President Viktor Yanukovych, also spoke out against the statement, saying that Ukrainians should not be divided according to the color of their skin, their faith or their language.
Ukraine's National Television, which held the contest where Gaitana was selected by a combined vote of viewers and jurors, demanded that Sirotyuk apologize to Gaitana.
Sirotyuk told The Associated Press that he has nothing to apologize for.
