Seven people survived today after the Air India Express aircraft with 166 people on board, from Dubai, crashed and burned after leaving the runway at the airport in the city of Mangalore in Southern India.
“As fast as information is available, we communicate to the media, eight people initially survived the disaster and were sent to local hospitals for treatment Mangalore,” said the director of airline personnel, Anup Shrivastava from Bombay .
However, one survivor died on the way to the hospital, the official said, adding that the pilot of Serbian origin, British citizen, Captain Zlatko Glusica, 55 years old, had ten thousand hours of flight.
Interior Minister of Karnataka, V. S. Acharya said that the condition of the survivors is critical and confirmed the death of 159 people in the crash of the ship from the UAE capital, which employs many Indian citizens.
The plane, a Boeing 737-800, was bringing 166 passengers aboard, including four children and six crew members, said Shrivastava.
Local authorities have reported that in the area of the crash have been recovered at least 70 bodies and the airline is working on identifying the victims, while operations at the airport in Mangalore has been closed, reported The Times of India.
An airport source said the tragedy happened when the wing of the plane hit a hill and the pilot tried to lift the ship again, after leaving the runway.
The incident on Saturday is the biggest air disaster in India for over a decade, then in July 2000, more than 50 people were killed when an Alliance Air Boeing 737-200 crashed in a residential area while performing a second attempt to land in the city of Patna.
Mangalore Airport is located in an elevated position and is considered one of the most complicated of India for aircraft takeoffs and landings.
The weather was overcast and light drizzle was falling when the plane landed on the runway, said officials of the Aeroportuaria at Mangalore base, which is the main port of Karnataka state in southwestern India.
During his tour off the track, which was inaugurated ten days ago, the plane broke a wall and went crashing to a nearby field where he broke out, the aircraft was completely burnt.
A local television channel showed footage of the device was completely destroyed and burned, only the tail remained intact.
The mishap occurred at dawn on Saturday and dozens of ambulances and fire trucks arrived, but rescue efforts faced severe difficulties because of the plane was still burning.

In last-minute attempts to revitalize South Korean carmaker Ssangyong, unions have reached agreement with the management over wage levels for this year.
Ssangyong disclosed that this decision is part of the annual collective bargaining agreement on the wage and working conditions of employees. Since early last year, the company has been under bankruptcy protection. The company’s dilemma began when China’s Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. canceled its 51% stake. In the first three months of the year, Ssangyong lost US$22m. However, this is really a sharp improvement from a net loss of US$23m during the same period in 2009. Last week, Ssangyong opened a bid to sell a majority of its stakes. It is expected to choose a preferred bidder this August. To encourage the sale, unions have agreed to implement the government’s so-called ‘time-off’ system, which will lower the number of full-time union leaders on payroll from the current 39 to around seven.
Jordan Romero, a 13-year old American boy summits the highest mountain in the land, surpassing records of 16-year old Nepalese, to clinch the title of being the youngest mountaineer to ever conquer Mt. Everest.
Mt. Everest is measures 29,035 ft above sea level. Romero phoned his mother the moment he reached the peak of the mountain. “I’m calling you from the top of the world”, bubbly teenager uttered.
He also added that each little step he took and every trial he came across while trekking the icy and rough mountain inspired him to reach for his lifetime dream. His father, Paul Romero accompanied his son in trail in what is said to be the biggest mountaineer’s goal.
There were no formal interviews yet with Jordan as he still needs to go back to base camp for some health and physical check-ups. It is imperative for all those who summit the Everest to render at least three nights on top the world. After which, he is scheduled for a return flight to the United States.
The child wonder climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa at the age of 9. Amazing and a good example to his fellow youth.
While over-the-counter medications and other home remedy-type treatments can be effective in treating the symptoms of candida, in order to treat the source and kill off candida overgrowth it is important to focus on nutrition. All of the remedies in the world can help very little unless you limit yeast-feeding sugar and flour and focus on whole foods.
Everyone knows the junk-food vegetarian. The one who chooses not to eat meat for health reasons or due to personal beliefs, yet continues to fill up on chips, cookies, and other processed foods. Typically, these types of vegetarians are in dire need of quality nutrients-particularly protein-to keep their bodies functioning well.
For vegetarians and vegans, it can be challenging to meet the protein needs the candida diet recommends. Protein keeps the blood sugar regulated, which helps prevent sugar spikes and an increase in yeast production. Although the obvious meat sources for protein are out, there are plenty of non-meat options to enjoy. Nut butters, fish, beans, soy and dairy products are all good protein sources that add excellent variety and flavor to your diet.
As you strive to kill the yeast overgrowth with each and every meal, you want to make low-glycemic vegetables an accompaniment to the protein in your meals. Some good selections in vegetables include: leafy green vegetables, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli and peppers. Avoid starchy veggies like potatoes and corn, which convert to sugar in your system when you eat them.
While it may take some extra effort and creativity for a vegetarian to stick to the candida diet, it is absolutely possible. As always, keeping your focus on the great things you can eat, instead of on the foods you need to avoid, will help to create a much more pleasant dieting experience.
Planning meals in advance and keeping the kitchen stocked with vegetarian, candida-friendly fare are additional great ways to stay on track and set yourself up for success. The more creative you get with your menu, the less likely you will fall into boredom in your candida diet. Strive to try at least one new recipe a week.
A quick search online will provide many great low-sugar, no-flour recipes. But let’s get started here with a few candida recipes for the vegetarian:
Vegetable Quinoa
Ingredients:
1 cup Quinoa
¼ cup Sugar-Free Marinara Sauce
2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
½ Onion, Diced
2 Carrots, Diced
1 Green or Yellow Pepper, Diced
½ Head of Cabbage, Red or White, Chopped
2 Yellow Squash, Sliced
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
Pepper to Taste
Add quinoa to a large pot on medium heat. Toast the quinoa in the dry pan until you hear a popping sound. Stir it well to make sure it toasts evenly and to avoid burning. When golden, add 3 cups of water and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes. In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and then the carrot and red cabbage. Sautee for 5 minutes and then add the pepper and squash. After the quinoa has simmered for 15 minutes, add the marinara sauce. When the quinoa is fully cooked with no liquid remaining, add vegetables and pepper and heat until warmed throughout.
Balsamic Marinated Grilled Salmon with Crispy Asparagus
Ingredients:
Salmon Filets or Steaks
Balsamic Vinegar
Fresh or Dried Dill
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Bunch of Asparagus
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Prepare the grill with oil and heat. Season salmon by sprinkling generously with salt and vinegar. Chop dill and combine with olive oil to make a paste and then cover the salmon with the mixture, allowing it to sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Grill the salmon approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until the fish turns opaque. Meanwhile, break off the tough ends of the asparagus and place on a broiler rack or pan. Sprinkle with Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Broil until the cheese begins to brown and asparagus is slightly crispy.
Nut Butter Sandwich
Ingredients:
1-2 Slices of sprouted grain, no yeast/sugar bread-such as Ezekiel 4:9 Bread, toasted
Sugar free, natural nut butter-such as almond, cashew, macadamia or peanut butter
Serve with some sliced veggies, an apple, and even a cheese stick and you have a well-balanced meal.
What sort of vegetables can I put into a vegetarian Korma?
I recently found a delicious korma sauce that comes jarred. We’re vegetarians, so adding meat is out. But I’m uncertain of what vegetables would be good in it. What I was thinking was to cook cubed potatoes, small carrots, and peppers in the Korma sauce and spread it over rice. Does that sound okay? I’ve never actually had Korma, but my husband has, so I’m a wee bit clueless. Any advice welcomed~
you can put in a number of veggies such as diced carrots, stir fry and put in cauliflower for better taste, runner beans (french beans), cubed cottage cheese (indian panner) green peppers, potatoes.
You dont need to stick to the traditional kormas ony try and see corn korma or dhingri muttar korma the recipe can be found at

On what is said to be US market’s strongest rebound for the year, banking giants J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America led the nation’s rally to the top of the boards. Modest gains were registered Friday after the ongoing Euro-zone economic predicament, with Greece’s economy in dire need of aid.
Although European Union led by developed and rich countries like France, United Kingdom and Germany have extended millions and trillions of bailout shares, investors still doubt if the region could pull back their market’s usual domination.
Before bouncing back last Friday, US market stocks sink terribly just the preceding day (Thursday). A lot of the players experienced slumped in market shares and value. However, with sudden shift of trust primarily due to unstable economic sustainability of Europe, investors cling to US for possibility of growth.
Financial upward surge were experienced greatly by banks and institutions which directly deal with money, like insurance.
And odd as it may seem, US market’s better shape at the moment was triggered by a fall in the other side of the world. The abrupt shifts of gains and losses in the stock market are dictated by who can be trusted at a given point in time.

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has finally approved Google’s pending acquisition of AdMob, a mobile advertising startup. The web giant offered $750 million for the company, but the sale has been on hold as the FTC investigated whether the move would hurt competition in the emerging sector. Ironically, it was Apple’s moves in the mobile advertising market that ensured regulators that Google would not be in a dominating position.

Pasco Columbia Basin College in Pasco is sharing in a five-year, $2.5 million grant aimed at helping under-represented students earn four-year degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
The college is getting $275,000 to provide support such as academic workshops, counseling and advising and help with internships and scholarships through the Washington MESA Community College Program. (MESA stands for mathematics engineering science achievement).
The program was announced during a news conference this morning. CBC is one of four community colleges in the state participating.
This really moves us forward to make sure theres an easier path for students hoping to transfer to four-year institutions, said Martin Valadez, CBC vice president for diversity and outreach.
The grant is being paid for by the National Science Foundation and administered by the University of Washington. Three other community colleges in the state also are participating Highline, Seattle Central and Yakima Valley.
CBC leaders said the program will help under-represented students such as those from low-income families face greater barriers when it comes to education, officials said. The extra support will help make a four-year degree in a STEM field more assessable, leaders said.
We remain dedicated to the idea of science and technology (endeavors) for our community. We want to make sure we bring everyone along. Were very excited about this new grant, said CBC President Rich Cummins.
There also is great demand for people trained in STEM fields in the Tri-City area and beyond, leaders said.
At CBC, about 250 students will be served by the program over five years, said Gabriela Whitemarsh, director.
Theyll be able to attend workshops, orientation and take advantage of counseling and advising to ensure theyre on track, she said.

Contrary to beliefs that patients suffering from heart ailments should stop or minimize having sexual encounters with their spouse or partners because of the sudden gush of emotion that may result to heart attacks, experts now encourage the sufferers to engage more into sex to improve their condition.
Straight from Washington DC, The American Heart Association revealed that it is safe for a patient to engage into sex soon after he or she feels better and can do moderate and frequent exercise.
The risks of having seizure after attacks were very minimal according to a speaker from a conference. Going back to normal sex life is still possible. Another doctor said that if you can walk up to two floors of your apartment back and forth, then it’s okay for you to have sex.
Charity ward cardiac nurse, Cathy Ross added that patients get too scared to have sex because of the probability to again physically exhaust themselves, causing another heart attack. But this is very unlikely according to her. Sometimes, depression and deprivation bring more risks than engaging in physical activities such as this.
Often, patients are misguided by published readings that have no medical basis at all and the sole intention is just to create the fear factor.
You are beginning to like forex trading. You have read every article you can find. You enjoy doing the research, developing your plan and choosing your target currencies. You are comfortable with your forex broker and his trading system. You are gaining valuable experience each day, but for some reason, you are still having difficulty pulling the trigger, perhaps more on sell signals than on buys, but the chatter in your brain is distracting. How do I deal with this kind of pressure?
First of all, let’s assume that you have done the basics. You always have a defined and disciplined plan of attack when you approach any market. You do not let yourself get “emotionally married” to any position or pattern that beckons you to stick with it. And, you have learned how to manage your greed and balance it with caution, never backing yourself into a vulnerable position that is difficult to unwind. Now what do you do?
The issue now is all about calming the mind, allowing your experiential programming to take over with the good judgment that you have developed, and then reaping the results. There have been many studies in this area, particularly with professional athletes, so why no let them be your guide.
I am a golfer. You never beat golf. You may get better or worse, but the mental aspects of the game are a mirror image of what an individual trader must deal with in order to be successful. Coincidentally, in order to perform, an athlete or trader must be able to shift his focus from distractions and concentrate on the moment at hand.
Watch professional golfers on television, particularly when they are putting. One putt per round is all that separates them from the minor leagues, so the pressure is intense to putt well. To deal with this pressure, every Pro has developed his own personal putting routine, i.e., line up the putt, take two practice strokes, look at the cup, and then putt. They practice this routine ad nauseum so that it becomes second nature and requires no thought to invoke it. Then, when the real pressure is on, they do not succumb to any distraction, feeling of doubt or anxious second-guessing.
As a trader, we face similar situations that require quick and nearly automatic responses. Our emotional thoughts do affect our physiology, and therefore, our ability to perform on the spot. Even neutral thoughts can be a distraction unto themselves. The more we can develop a “trading routine”, the more dispassionate we can be when we have to execute a Buy or Sell transaction. The more practiced your routine, the more confident you will feel. You will know with certainty what to expect, and performance will become effortless, nearly always exceeding your own high expectations.
So, develop your own personalized practice trading routine. Lay out the logical decision steps and repeat them until they flow effortlessly. Remember that pressure and anxiety can be motivators, but if they are distractions, they must be dealt with accordingly.
Europe’s debt crisis, particularly concerning barely breathing Greece economy, has once again pulled up U.S. stocks last Friday. The market rebounded very strong as it closed the week, according to New York economists. Investors doubted how the European economy can give them the growth they need with the dilemma they are currently facing. These money experts now cling to US market for better hopes.
The strong comeback of US market followed through immediately after Germany’s government approved their share of $1 trillion for euro-region bailout assistance. This alarmed investors and stock players as they feel that this move by the Germans would not be the last of the many that the region would ask them.
To prove the sudden upward surge in the trading, bank giant J.P. Morgan Chase closes at 5.9 percent higher than the preceding week. Bank of America not too far behind in terms of the leap clocked in rise at 4.5%.
Chief Investment Officer for Matrix Asset Advisors David Katz mentioned that underpinnings in the global economy and corporate clashes, loss and earnings make the competition sound, unpredictable and viable; to some extent favouring a particular nation’s economy heavily- this time the United States benefited from whatever turn of events occurred the past week.
On May 22, 1980, Namco launched the first Pac-Man machine in a movie theatre at the crowded street of Shibuya, Tokyo. Today, b is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the ever famous game Pac-Man.
Aside from being the inspiration of a novel and addictive game, Pac-Man also became the media’s superstar and appeared on lunch boxes, cover magazines, cartoons and even made it on the Top 10 Pop Hit.
Unlike the other competition of the Pac-Man game, Pac-Man’s way of eating dots and being chased by ghost game play still keeps it very addicting even in adults.

None of this could have happened if it wasn’t for genius game designer Toro Iwatani. Iwatani created cute characters for the game which was another reason why people still loves Pac-Man even if it is 30 years old already.

The eight-grader climber reached the top of Mt. Everest today, together with his father and three Sherpa guides. Jordan Romero is now the youngest ever to reach the the 29,035-foot summit.

Romero’s group left for the peak from the base camp on the Chinese side of the mountain. They climbed the northern route out of Tibet and still have to make the trek down the mountain, which is a dangerous route that killed climbers each year.
Jordan Romero has been on a quest to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents. Today he accomplished it all by climbing Mt. Everest. Jordan climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa when he was 10 years old and Carstensz Pyramid (Oceana) on Sept. 1, 2009.
