BOCA RATON, FL, March 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) A registered Republican that voted for President Barack Obama announces the launch of www.ObamaEndYourWar.com. The nonpartisan website is dedicated to ending the U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan. Americans are urged to drive with their headlights on during the day to illuminate a bright pathway for President Obama to find his way out of Afghanistan.
ObamaEndYourWar.com will serve to focus public attention on the 10 year old war. The call to action, driving with your headlights on during the day, gives Americans a simple method to express their opposition to continuing the war. According to the website, many compelling reasons have been overshadowed by other world events.
The China Solution:
The website offers a new exit strategy for the U.S. to leave Afghanistan entitled The China Solution. According to a U.S. Government report published in the NY Times, "The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials."
"There is stunning potential here," Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of the United States Central Command, said in an interview on Saturday. "There are a lot of ifs, of course, but I think potentially it is hugely significant."
The website founder, Greg Washio, comments, "The discovery presents a historic opportunity for China and Afghanistan to negotiate a long term security and development treaty. China has the military, capital and mining expertise to help Afghans rebuild their nation. In exchange for the minerals rights, China would rebuild infrastructure and a new railroad system to ship the minerals. They would also eradicate the opium crop to avoid a heroin epidemic in China. Opium growers would get jobs in mining or participate in other areas of the expected economic boom."
He argues that "China is in a much better position to help Afghanistan than the U.S. China has close proximity, a huge army with non-Christian solders and can earn a reasonable profit for their effort."
ObamaEndYourWar.com asks for volunteers and contains a blog where others can share views and ideas. Pages provide information about the history of Afghanistan, opium production and related topics.
Greg Washio commissioned an art poster to support the effort. The colorful poster features President Obama in the foreground with U.S. troops, a burned-out village and the Afghan mountains in the background.
About the Founder of www.ObamaEndYourWar.com:
Greg Washio is a moderate Republican that was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, he lost friends, neighbors and classmates to the Vietnam War. This web site represents his first effort to influence American policy beyond the act of voting.

Annual sonograms are needed to verify correct IUD position, UT Southwestern obstetricians say
2011-03-30
DALLAS – March 29, 2011 – A retrospective study of women who became pregnant while using intrauterine devices shows that more than half of the IUDs were malpositioned.
Though the displacement may have occurred over time, a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher suggests that routine sonograms after IUD placement would in the least confirm proper initial positioning.
"Gynecologists typically do a pelvic and speculum exam after placing an IUD, but there's no sonogram involved," said Dr. Elysia Moschos, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology and lead author ...
New study examines impact of new media on eating habits
2011-03-30
A new study by Rochester Institute of Technology is one of the first to analyze how new-media technology, including the Internet and smartphones, are changing college students' eating habits and their relationship to food. Findings indicate that individuals are more likely to have meals while sitting at the computer than at the kitchen table, and that they use social media as the main avenue to obtain recipe and nutritional information.
"I sought to investigate how the explosion of new media is changing traditional notions of meals and how this is transforming human interaction," ...

Cost of heart drugs makes patients skip pills, putting themselves at risk
2011-03-30
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- For more than 5 million Americans with heart failure, a critical step to better health is taking the medications they're prescribed. But many patients fail to do so, putting themselves at greater risk of hospitalization and even death. To date, studies have not fully answered why patients fall short when it comes to taking heart medicine. In a study appearing in the April issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Mayo Clinic researchers found the drugs' cost is one of the biggest deterrents.
"We found patients weren't filling their prescriptions because ...
University of Nevada, Reno invents next-gen device to track world's air quality
2011-03-30
RENO, Nev. – A new air-quality measuring instrument invented by Pat Arnott and Ian Arnold of the University of Nevada, Reno that is more economical, more portable and more accurate than older technologies has been licensed for commercial development by Droplet Measurement Technologies of Boulder, Colo.
Arnott, a physics professor in the University's College of Science, had perhaps lugged his heavy pieces of equipment one too many times through airports to faraway places to examine airborne particles. Now, his and Arnold's latest invention has reduced the laser-equipped ...
New 'nanodrug' breaks down barriers to attack breast cancer cells from the inside out
2011-03-30
LOS ANGELES (March 29, 2011) – Throwing stones at castle walls is one way to attack an enemy, but sneaking inside makes the target much more vulnerable.
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute have employed a similar strategy using a mouse model to target important mechanisms inside the most challenging breast cancer cells. Earlier studies at Cedars-Sinai found a similar approach effective in attacking malignant brain tumor targets.
Unlike other drugs that target cancer cells from outside and often injure normal cells as a side effect, this ...

2011-03-30
Residential and commercial construction sites can produce a large amount of waste in the form of scrap lumber, leftover materials, and various other items. Having access to large construction dumpsters from a quality rental company is a must for any contractor. They have to meet deadlines and time can often be short to come by when a project falls behind or has to be speed up. This is why having a local rental company that carries various dimensions of construction dumpsters has numerous advantages.
Our company is both professional and customer service focused when ...
For potentially crippling dystonia, earlier deep brain therapy gets better, quicker results
2011-03-30
LOS ANGELES (March 29, 2011) – Patients suffering from dystonia, an uncommon yet potentially crippling movement disorder, get better results if they begin deep brain stimulation therapy sooner rather than later, according to an international study published in the March issue of the Journal of Neurology.
"Our data suggest that patients who begin treatment earlier in the disease process may expect a better general outcome than those with longer disease duration. Also, age at surgery appears to influence the time necessary to achieve the best clinical response, meaning ...
Communicating uncertain climate risks
2011-03-30
Despite much research that demonstrates potential dangers from climate change, public concern has not been increasing.
One theory is that this is because the public is not intimately familiar with the nature of the climate uncertainties being discussed.
"A major challenge facing climate scientists is explaining to non-specialists the risks and uncertainties surrounding potential" climate change, says a new Perspectives piece published today in the science journal Nature Climate Change.
The article attempts to identify communications strategies needed to improve layman ...
