– dead man might have been courier of grenade – Top Cop In the aftermath of the explosion in which one man died and 19 people were injured outside the Stabroek Market yesterday, law enforcement authorities swooped down on the area and forcibly dismantled several illegal stalls with the aim of eliminating the safe havens for criminals and their activities.Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee, at a hastily arranged press conference at his office last night, said that some people might be cynical and point out that the administration had to wait for something like this to happen before decisive action is taken.“It’s not that nothing was being done…From time to time action was being taken to bring some form of order to the area. Now that this has happened, we recognize that people who move around that area…it could put their lives in danger,” the Minister said.Police Commissioner Henry Greene, who also shared the press conference, pointed out though that despite the work being down by the police and other law enforcement agencies in the Stabroek Market area, no firearms have been found there within recent times.“After we started our operations it became known that we were around and I think that some of what was happening has reduced,Wholesale Jerseys From China, even though it has not stopped,” Green said.Meanwhile, the man whose hand was blown off and face badly disfigured by the explosion might have been a courier for the sale of the explosive device, according to the Police Commissioner.This is one of the theories that investigators are working on as they probe the circumstances that led to the ugly scene in downtown Georgetown yesterday morning.According to Commissioner Greene, upon examination of the scene of the incident, it is clear that the device was in the possession of the dead man.He explained that the man’s hands from his elbow down was amputated, parts of which could not be found, and his face was badly damaged.“There were no eyes. His eyes were blown out completely. We found finger and fingernail in the ceiling of the structure under which he was found.The left side abdomen had marks which all suggest that everything happened within that vicinity.”Greene said that as a matter of fact, crime scene investigators found 50 pieces of fragments in the ceiling, eight of which had green paint, which enabled them to conclude that the explosive device was indeed a fragmentation grenade.However investigators have so far been unable to locate the pin or lever of the device. “It’s a most unfortunate situation. it could have caused more damage to other persons…This ‘American’…it would appear as though he had this thing in his hands,Wholesale Jerseys, either waiting to sell or whatever he might have been doing, we’re not sure but he had to play with it to pull the pin,” the Police Commissioner said.Greene explained that the area where the incident occurred is ideal for the sale of firearms and other illegal items and investigators believe that the dead man was one of the persons being used for such purposes,” not realizing the danger to himself and thus causing his demise.”Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee said that investigators have completely ruled out that the device was thrown or lobbed into a crowd.He said that it has been confirmed that it was in the hands of the dead man whose name was given as America, when it was detonated.“Whether he was given the device or found it, is a matter for speculation at this point in time. It is anticipated that these speculations will be clarified in the course of the investigations,Nike Shox Men Clearance,” the Home Affairs Minister said.Both Greene and Rohee are convinced that despite the efforts of the law enforcement agencies to ‘clean up’ the Stabroek Market area, more needs to be done to eliminate criminal activities there.Among the illegal activities identified are the illegal buying and selling of gold, the snatching of cellular phones, the sale and rental of arms and the sale of ammunition.According to the Minister, the administration has a responsibility to ensure that the danger posed to legitimate persons in the Stabroek Market area is eliminated.He said that it is in the interest of public-spirited persons who frequent that area as well as those who vend their goods there to support whatever actions are taken by the competent authorities to ensure that it is safe and secure for the public at large.Commissioner Henry Greene also expressed concern over the fact that a device like a grenade appears to be readily available to persons of all walks of life.“It is such a dangerous thing. To have grenades floating around in this country is very, very serious and we are looking at it very,Cheap Soccer Jerseys, very seriously,<

–ready to conduct third bout of paediatric heart surgeries at GPHCGuyana has one of the highest infant mortality situations in the Region. This translates to about 30 deaths per 1,000 live births. “This is very, very high,” said Dr. Rodrigo Soto, the Paediatric Cardiac Surgeon and Chief Executive Officer of Clinical Operations at the International Children’s Heart Foundation, also known as the Baby Heart Foundation.Paediatric Cardiac Surgeon,Cheap MLS Jerseys, Dr. Rodrigo SotoHe said that the inability to address issues such as congenital heart diseases is a major contributory factor to the prevailing state of affairs.It was in recognition of this that Government,Cheap China Jerseys, through the Ministry of Public Health, solicited the support of the Baby Heart Foundation to help address the problem. The organisation’s contribution in this regard was however first sought by the previous regime but has been retained by the coalesced A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance for Change Government.Baby Heart Foundation first arrived in Guyana in February of this year but conducted its first batch of paediatric heart surgeries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) in April and another was done in July. Thus far, the team has completed 26 surgeries and conducted about six cardiac catheterisations (a procedure used to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions).Dr. Soto and a team from the Foundation are currently in Guyana again to conduct a third bout of surgeries at the GPHC. The team will remain here for two weeks during which a minimum of 15 surgeries are expected to be completed in addition to a few interventional catheterisations.“This year alone we are going to be serving over 50 patients in Guyana which means that they will have their problems solved, their lives changed completely in the prognosis and the expectation of their lives changed completely,” said Dr. Soto.Speaking of the Foundation’s support here, Dr. Soto noted that “we realised the lack of the service; we realised the need of the service. The problem was that there were some installations that were not available such as a Paediatric ICU (Intensive Care Unit)…” said Dr. Soto who disclosed that Baby Heart Foundation worked in collaboration with the GPHC to setup a Paediatric ICU at the GPHC complete with all necessary implements.Several donations have also been made to the hospital to facilitate the paediatric heart surgery programme.But the Foundation has not only been focused on conducting surgeries as it has also been catering to the training needs of staffers at the public hospital.? “They are really, really eager to participate with us…they have not only been growing in interest but also in knowledge…there is really good potential and I think that we are going in the right direction regarding the fact that we are addressing the issue of congenital heart disease,” Dr. Soto added.With the support of the Foundation, Guyana is therefore able to reduce the cost of sending children abroad for paediatric heart surgeries and simultaneously cut cost to train medical personnel.Dr. Soto added, “The fact that you guys don’t need to send patients anywhere else, the fact that the patients are at home with their family that helps the recovery…it helps everything that we do here.”The Baby Heart Foundation is a not for profit organisation that is based in Memphis,Cheap Jerseys Outlet, United States which has been in existence since 1993.? According to Dr. Soto, the organisation has 22 years of experience in sustainable and independent paediatric cardiac services around the world.It has been able to offer paediatric heart care, through the expertise of mainly volunteer medical practitioners, to 33 countries and has thus far completed 7,Cheap NFL Jerseys,604 surgeries. Its contributions to these countries has allowed for many of them to eventually offer crucial paediatric services independently.“The modus operandi is to build a team,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, travel to the site that we decided on and we do two weeks trips during which we do surgeries but we do the surgeries actually to transfer knowledge and to educate the local team. So building capacity is what we are here for,” said Dr. Soto.

New York (NYDailyNews.com) – Congressional investigators say Rep. Gregory Meeks appears to have violated federal law by hiding an illegal $40,000 gift he got from a local businessman.The Office of Congressional Ethics released a 67-page report Friday detailing its investigation of the Queens Democrat, a report that followed a Daily News investigation of the seven-term lawmaker.Last year,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, The News disclosed that in 2007, Meeks obtained from a personal friend what he termed a $40,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic,000 “loan” with no documents,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, no specified interest rate, no due date and no payments for more than three years.The OCE saw the “loan” from Queens businessman Edul Ahmad as a gift that should have been listed on Meeks’ 2007 and 2008 financial disclosure forms.“There appears to be no evidence that there were any normal (signs) of a legitimate loan under House rules,” the report said.The investigators recommended the House Ethics Committee pursue a further review of the “loan,” and the committee quickly agreed to do just that. This is the same committee that recently found Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel violated ethics rules.The report pointed out that Meeks “provided no evidence that any interest rate was set at all,Wholesale Jerseys, in writing or otherwise, when he received the money from Mr. Ahmad.”The ethics office concluded that the loan “appears to have been a gift” due to the lack of documentation and the fact that Meeks made no payments until paying the loan off all at once in 2010.The OCE declared there was “substantial reason” to believe Meeks broke the law by not reporting this “gift.”Meeks refused to give the ethics office documents it requested during the investigation. As a result,Wholesale Jerseys From China, the office suggested the ethics committee subpoena the documents from both Meeks and Ahmad.Meeks disclosed the existence of the “gift” for the first time in his 2009 report and amended his earlier reports in June 2010. He secured the second loan later on that same month to pay off Ahmad.Ahmad also refused to cooperate with the congressional investigators. The FBI busted him last month on mortgage fraud charges in an unrelated probe.Shortly after yesterday’s report was released, Meeks’ lawyers released a letter to the ethics committee arguing that any problems with Meeks’ failure to disclose the “loan” should be handled in-house by the committee.The lawyers, Brian Svoboda and Andrew Warbrock, argued that the ethics office had no right to examine the issue of the 2007 “loan” because it didn’t begin operations until March 2008.Meeks is also the subject of an ongoing FBI probe into the loan. He did not respond to a request for comment.

Minister of Health Dr. Leslie Ramsammy yesterday announced that there are only 10,000 HIV-infected persons living in Guyana, as opposed to 12,000 which was being reported by some organisations.The new figure suggests a reduction in the rate of infection; and according to Minister Ramsammy, this further indicates that only one percent of Guyana’s population is infected,Cheap NFL Jerseys, debunking the previous figures which had stated that approximately three to four percent of the population was infected.Minister Ramsammy made the announcement yesterday after a march which was organized by the Beterverwagting (BV) President’s Youth Choice Committee in observance of World AIDS Day.According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.2 million people living with HIV globally, including 2.5 million children.During last year, some 2.5 million people became newly infected with the virus.

During his address to the school children, the Health Minister urged them to become leaders if they want to win the fight against HIV.“AIDS is a killer, and one thing is for certain — AIDS is not invincible. It is easy to fight against HIV, because it is within us.The virus doesn’t come and look for us and say ‘hey, I like this girl.’ All the virus wants to do is to survive; and without us it cannot survive,” Minister Ramsammy told the students.He explained that persons, especially the younger generation,Wholesale Jerseys, need to become aware of how the virus is transmitted and the steps they can take to prevent it.He urged for the students to practice abstinence, as he noted that, “At this age, it is too young to be engaged in sexual activities.”The march included students from the BV Community High School, Phoenix Academy, Golden Grove Secondary School and the Institute of Business Education.
