Today I read about Dr. Kamiar Alaei and his brother, Dr. Arash Alaei, have been called pioneers for their community-based approach to HIV and AIDS in Iran. Since opening a hometown clinic in 1999, the men have been raising awareness about HIV, dispelling myths about the virus and treating people who are shunned because of it. They have also reached out to their neighbors in Afghanistan and Tajikistan and worked with medical universities in Europe and the United States. But in 2008, the Alaeis were arrested by the Iranian government. According to Kamiar, they were charged with "communication with an enemy government" and for trying to "overthrow the government." Kamiar says the charges had no merit, but he and his brother were found guilty and thrown into Iran's notorious Evin prison. Kamiar served most of a three-year sentence and was released in October 2010. His brother is still behind bars.
Monday- Today i read about an endurance swimmer named Diana Nyad who attempted to swim between Cuba and Florida without a shark cage. But she was able to do it. She stopped roughly halfway. She was vomiting when she was brought up by the bus. She was in the water for 29 hours. Dian Nyad is 61. She was struggling thorugh ocean swells wuth shoulder pain and asthma. She attempted to swim 103 miles. The attempt to swim from Cuba to Florida was the second for the swimmer, when she first attempted the crossing but was unable to finish. It took several months to gain permission for the swim from Cuban and U.S. authorities.
Tuesday- Today I read about the Justice Department joined a whistle-blower and several state governments Monday in filing suit against a for-profit educational firm that has received more than $11 billion in federal student aid. The government joined the suit against Education Management Corp. (EDMC), which has enrolled thousands of students in dozens of educational programs across the U.S. The government alleges the company paid admissions recruiters bonuses tied to the number of students they recruited, in violation of federal law. Assistant Attorney General Tony West at the Justice Department said the company had misused federal educations funds by paying improper incentives to admissions recruiters. The lawsuit alleges the company falsely certified compliance with federal laws that prohibit a university from paying incentives to admissions recruiters. The suit filed in federal court in Pittsburgh was originally brought by whistle-blower Lynntoya Washington, a former admissions recruiter.
Today I read an article called Smoking in the Morning Doubles Lung Cancer Risk. This article talks about the results for a study of hoe smoking in the morning doubles the risk of getting lung cancer. This has been tested in a study with over 7.600 participants at Penn State College. Smoking in the morning is the same as the number of cigarettes smoked per day the result was the same: Smoking within 30 minutes after getting up raises the risk of cancer dramatically. "So the most likely explanation of this finding is that the sooner a smoker lights up, the more smoke is taken into the lungs, and the higher the level of exposure to cancer causing chemicals", said a cancer researcher. I think smoking at anytime is bad regardless morning or not and instead of making studies they should stop selling tobacco.
Wednesday- Today I read about a former New York police officer Franklin Mata that was sentenced Wednesday to 60 days in jail and three years on probation for three counts of official misconduct in a case of alleged rape involving himself and another New York Police officer. The other officer, Kenneth Moreno, was sentenced Monday to one year in prison. A jury acquitted Moreno and former partner Mata of felony rape and burglary in May, but found them guilty of official misconduct, a misdemeanor. Moreno and Mata were on duty at the time of the alleged incident. Moreno and Mata were accused of returning to the apartment of a 27-year-old woman whom they had helped earlier in the evening and raping her in December 2008. The case set off a public storm, and the men were later fired from the New York Police Department. Moreno and Mata admitted they broke police guidelines by hiding from their superiors the fact that they went back to the woman's apartment. Moreno admitted to making a fake 911 emergency call so that police dispatchers would send the officers back to the woman's apartment, according to Judge Gregory Carro at New York County Supreme Court.
Thursday- Today I read about the end of the line for three fugitive siblings came Wednesday on a rural stretch of Colorado interstate. With guns scattered around their wrecked white Subaru, the suspects made their play. One brother stayed in the car. Another brother stumbled off through the brush to a couple of nearby businesses, only to be picked up after a citizen spotted him. The sister, who wrote on her Flickr profile that she liked "causing mayhem with my siblings," tried to reload her automatic pistol, officials said. A police officer shot her in the leg. Last week, Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21, texted, "There's a time for all of us to die" after he was sentenced in Florida on a criminal charge, according to a Florida sheriff's office. With that, authorities said, Ryan Dougherty, sister Lee Grace Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, began a crime spree that included a bank robbery in Georgia and the attempted murder of a Florida police officer.

Friday- Today I read about Lee Grace Dougherty. She was shot in the leg by a police. She pointed a gun at a police officer and the police officer shot her first. The 40-caliber handgun wounded her right upper thigh. The three siblings, arrested Wednesday after a high-speed chase by police resulted in the crash of the Doughertys' vehicle on a rural Colorado highway, had their first court hearing Thursday in Pueblo, but the three waived their right to appear. A public defender represented them in their absence, according to the CNN affiliates. Lee Grace Dougherty, brother Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21, and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, face numerous charges.
