Thousands swamp Bahrain highway in first legal 'Freedom and - RT

Tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters flooded a major highway in Bahrain for the first sanctioned opposition rally in months. They called on the government to release a prominent human rights activist and demanded greater freedom.
?The motorway, which links capital city Manama with Shiite villages, was swarming with demonstrators, the crowd extending for at least two miles (three kilometers). Protesters chanted pro-democracy slogans, waved Bahraini flags and called on the government to free Nabeel Rajab, a prominent human rights activist recently sentenced to three years in prison for supposedly organizing illegal protests.
?We do not forget the prisoners!? was one of the chants.
The mass rally was the first legal protest in over a month. In July, the government imposed a temporary ban on protests, with the interior ministry stating that the curfew was necessary to ?restore order.?
It was in that period that Nabeel Rajab was sentenced to three years in prison for participating in an ?illegal assembly? and ?calling for a march without prior notification.?
In June, Rajab had received a three-month prison sentence for a tweet that prosecutors say offended the residents of a Sunni-dominated neighborhood of the capital. In the tweet, Rajab alleged that the residents of the neighborhood only supported Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa because of financial incentives.
A judge later overturned the Twitter sentence, but Rajab must still serve his other, lengthier prison term for allegedly holding an illegal march.
Pro-democracy protests in the country have been ongoing since February 2011.
Colin Cavell, a former lecturer at the University of Bahrain, believes the nation's people are resolute in their demands for democracy.
?They?re tired of a single family running the entire country with kangaroo courts, with no justice at all and with disparity among the population,? he told RT.
He also noted that while the US has traditionally propped up autocratic rulers and despotic monarchies to further its regional interests, a new strategy may soon be required.
?The United States wants to retain its hegemonic control not only over Bahrain, but over the entire Persian Gulf monarchs in the entire Middle East in order to keep that crude oil flowing,? he remarked. ?However, they realize with the increasing democratic opposition in all of these countries, that they can no longer lean on these autocratic rulers to retain their control.?

SAfrica to withdraw murder charges against miners
JOHANNESBURG (AP) ? South Africa's top prosecutor says she is withdrawing controversial murder charges against 270 miners for the killings of 34 striking co-workers shot by police.
Sunday's announcement follows a barrage of criticism from political parties, trade unions, civil society and legal experts.
Even the justice minister had challenged the decision to charge the arrested miners under an apartheid-era law that opened the government to accusations that it was acting like the former brutal white rulers.
Nomqcobo Jiba, the acting national director of public prosecutions, announced that the charges of murder and attempted murder would be formally withdrawn.
She said other charges including public violence would remain.
The Aug. 16 shootings by police killed 34 miners and wounded 78 in the worst display of state violence since apartheid ended in 1994.

Unwanted cell phones being collected to help U.S. troops
A local effort is under way to convert old, unwanted cell phone into phone cards that can be used by members of the military serving abroad.
The national ?Cell Phones for Soldiers? program is being coordinated locally by Joyce Handa of the Poway Kiwanis Club. Boxes have been placed at several public locations where the phones will be collected and shipped to the program?s headquarters, where each phone will be exchanged for a 120-minute calling card. Those cards will be distributed to U.S. troops for calls back home.
Collection boxes have been placed at the Hamburger Factory, Poway High School, Twin Peaks Middle School, Painted Rock Elementary and Village Mail & More (intersection of Rancho Bernardo and Pomerado roads).

Amazon Web Services Adds Long Requested Web Browser Specification
Amazon Web Services (AWS) added support today for a browser specification that defines ways for??apps to allow resources to be accessed by web pages?from different?domains.?The practice is called?Cross Origin Resource Sharing?(CORS) and has been requested by AWS users for the past few years. The new service represents another way that AWS automates tasks that developers once had to do themselves. We see this over and again fron AWS. They ?abstract arduous tasks so developers can focus on building apps.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/UXSBg_R2Et8/

Can drug coverage erase the income gap in diabetes?
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) ? Universal drug coverage might help partly close the gap between the rich and the poor when it comes to diabetes complications, a new Canadian study suggests.
Researchers found that much of the income gap in heart risks among diabetic adults disappeared after the age of 65 ? the age at which universal drug coverage kicks in for Canadians.
Canada has universal healthcare, but when it comes to medications, people younger than 65 either pay out-of-pocket or have private drug coverage through work ? similar to Americans their age.
In the new study of more than 600,000 Ontario residents with diabetes, researchers found that lower-income people had higher risks of heart attack, stroke and death. But the disparity largely disappeared after age 65.
The findings, reported in the journal Diabetes Care, do not prove that universal drug coverage erased the income gap.
But there is no other obvious factor that would explain the ?sudden shift? at age 65, said lead researcher Dr. Gillian L. Booth, of the University of Toronto and St. Michael?s Hospital in Ontario.
?This also fits in with what?s been seen in other studies,? Booth said in an interview.
Research has shown that a growing number of people with diabetes cannot afford their medications ? which include not only drugs to control blood sugar, but also those for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other problems that commonly go hand-in-hand with diabetes.
Another study in Ontario also found a widening gap in death rates between the rich and poor with diabetes ? but the trend is mainly among people younger than 65.
?I feel confident that expanding drug coverage could help save some lives,? Booth said.
Her team?s findings are based on health records for 606,051 Ontario adults who were followed over six years. During that time, over 48,000 of those people were hospitalized for a heart attack or stroke, and just over 111,000 died of any cause.
Booth?s team found that among people younger than 65, those in the bottom 20 percent for income had a higher rate of heart attack, stroke and death: just over two percent per year, versus 1.4 percent among the wealthiest 20 percent.
Even when the researchers considered certain other factors ? like people?s history of heart problems before the study ? low income was still linked to a 51 percent higher risk.
But when the researchers looked at older adults, the gap between the rich and poor was much smaller: the lowest-income group had a 12-percent higher risk of heart attack, stroke or death than the most affluent group.
Even though Booth thinks universal drug coverage helps explains the findings, she said it is not the sole reason for the gap between the rich and poor.
?It?s more complicated than that,? Booth said. Diabetes is a complex condition that requires people to keep up a healthy lifestyle, and tackle daily tasks like measuring blood sugar.
So differences in diet, exercise, smoking and general ?health literacy? ? a person?s ability to read and understand information about a health condition ? are all important, according to Booth.
?Drug coverage is one piece,? she said. ?We think it?s an important piece, but it?s not the only one.?
Booth also said she thinks her findings are relevant to other countries, including the U.S., where the Medicare program for older Americans has covered the cost of prescriptions since 2006.
Studies have shown that since that benefit started, Medicare recipients? adherence to their medications has generally improved. That includes the poorest and sickest beneficiaries.
Those studies have also found that ?non-drug? spending ? mostly for hospitalizations ? has declined among Medicare recipients who previously had only limited drug coverage.
Medicare drug coverage is subject to coverage gaps, in which seniors have to pay full price for their prescriptions. Recent studies have found that participants often drop their medications when they hit that so-called ?donut hole? in coverage, but have not documented any health consequences from that choice. (See Reuters Health stories of July 2, 2012 and August 17, 2012.
Still, Booth said the overall evidence argues for better drug coverage for younger people as well. ?More and more people are being diagnosed with diabetes at younger ages,? she noted.
Older age is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, by far the most common form of diabetes. But so is obesity. And in the U.S., about 36 percent of all adults are now obese.
An estimated 26 million Americans have diabetes, including 14 percent of all people between the ages of 45 and 64, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
